Hickory Stick "Tune" In High Court

Then, after the principal had or
Gered her to chastise Michael, she
flogged him with a pointer, and the
state courts of Illinois found that she
did not stop with the job half COM
pleted. In fact, when the Burkes
brought a suit for damages against
her, alleging trespass and other things,
the state courts, in general verdict,
rendered a judgment against Miss
Kelley.
After a judgment was procured
against her Miss Kelley was declared
a bankrupt. On the ground that the
national bankrupt law does not dis
charge a person from payment of q
debt incurred through the committing
of willful and malicious injuries to
the person or property of another"
Miss Kelley was arrested under an Illi-
nois statute for failure to satisfy the
judgment She went into the federal
courts and asked to be discharged.
The district court of the United
States for the Eastern district of ILL
nois admitted testimony offered by
Miss Kelley to show that this was not
a debt incurred through willful and
malicious injuries, and the court found
1t was not. Such procedure did not
meet with the approval of the circuit
court of appeals, however, and the
judgment was reversed.
Miss Kelley now has asked the Su-
preme court to review her case.

WASHINGTON.-A little while after
w automobiles had come into gen.
eral use those newspapers which con-
Germ themselves more with fancy than
with fact began to worry in their
columns about what they termed "the
automobile face" They had cartoons
showing faces lined and marked. with
squinted eyes.
These came, the papers said, from
the habit of speeding cars. The papers
figured that when a motorist gripped
the wheel and started ahead at the
strip of dusty road that was spinning
under the car, there was so much
tension that the lines and squint came
without the drivers being aware of
them
The papers have ceased to worry
about that now; for such papers do
not worry about any particular thing
for long. The automobile has estab-
lished itself. and the human counte-

GsT T'S up to you," said the suffragists
i to congress- and it took so auto
mobiles and a ton of paper to carry
the message to the capitol. Those who
expected to see a suffragette demanr
stration, as often occurs in the halls
of the English houses of parliamexk
were disappointed.
With banners afloat and flnery aflut-
ter, in a procession of taxicabs nearly
a mile long. the suffragists moved on
Capitol hill and presented to congress
100000 individual demands for votSs
for women. The mammoth national
petition was divided into little ones,
each nicely tied with bit of yellow
ribbon and grouped into little bundles
of just the convenient size for slf-
fragette to carry under her arm.
Senators and Representatives from

'QUAkE KILLS 1000,

Costa Riea Desolated; Thousands
Manned and Homeless.
For days Central America has been
shaken by violent earthquake shocks.
For the seventh time in its history
Cartago, former capital of Costa Rica,
lies in ruins.
Other cities have been destroyed.
Careful estimates, based on the lat
est reports received here, give the
following as the extent of the disas-
ter:
Dead, ,000
Injured, 400.
Homeless-15000
Towns destroyed or partially wreck
sd-4
Paraiso, a town eight miles to the
east of Cartago, and Orosi, twenty
miles to the southeast, are both re-
ported to have met the fate of the
larger city.
The volcanoes Turialba and Irasu,
already partially or wholly in erup-
tion, give signs of severe outbreak
The entire population of the central
and northern sections of Costa Rica
is in terror. The railroad running
from here to the north, with spurs
to Cartago and San Jose, is tied up.
It is believed that the line has been
completely wrecked in places and
that its reconstruction for a great por-
tion of its length will prove neces-
sary. All wires are down. The full
extent of the disaster is beyond the
grasp of startled Costa Rica.
One of the richest parts of the
country lies desolated, the wreckage
of its houses covering hundreds of
dead, and aid Is urgently needed.
Though Cartago. according to the full
est reports available, bore the brunt
of the shock, the earthquake affected
a wide area, fully 200 miles in length
and extending to Nicaragua. The
towns along the San Juan river, run
ming near the boundary between Co.'S
ia Rica and Nicaragua, have all felt
the shocks severely, according to dis
patches from Greytown. Couriers ar
riving here brought news of damage
done to San Carlos, Castillo, Viejo
and Ochoa. Throughout the valley,
the shocks have played havoc, and in
at least one place the course of the
river has been changed.
Many settlements in the hills about
Cartgo are believed to have been de-
stroyed, besides Paraiso, whose pop
ulation is 1000, and Orosi, with 1900
population.

That is one Of the questions the

Birmingham, Ala-Forty-five white
men and between 190 and 145 negroes
have been entombed in No. coal
mine at Palos, as the result of a ter
rife explosion.
Palos is 40 miles west of Birming-

Palos Coal and Coke Company, of
which the Brennan Brothers, of Birm-
ingham, are the owners.
State Mine Inspector James Hill
house thinks all of the men in the
mine are dead.
The flames resulting from the ex-
plosion shot into the air from the
slope for a distance of 200 feet and
the shock was felt for miles around.
Timbers from the slope were hurled
several hundred feet from the mouth
of the slope and rocks from The roof
Of the slope caved in and made ac-
cess to the mouth very difficult.
James Gousby, a mail carrier, was
killed 80 feet from the mouth Of the
slope, and his body was hurled 80 feet
into the river He was walking along
the railroad track and was directly in
front of the slope when the explosion
occurred. 1t was judged from this
that the force of the explosion was
such that none of the men on the in
terror could possibly be alive.
1t is thought that the explosion was
caused by the accumulation of gas in
some of the old abandoned entries
which are barely visible.

The intelligence that the end Of
King Edwards reign had come, was
not a surprise at last. The people
had been expecting it any hour
since the evenings bulletin was post
ed at Buckingham palace and flashed

received it without excitement but
sadly, for the king, with his own peo-

They regarded him as one of the
strongest forces making for the sta

was approaching.

family and four doctors had been con-

death, the king was was in a coma
tose condition, but he rallied slightly
