PENNSYLVANIA is Safe.

Philadelphia. - General Manager
w. II. Myers of the Pennsylvania
railroad and the committees repre-
senting the | 900 trainmen and con-
ductors employed on the lines of the
road east of Pittsburg on Monday
agreed on a basis for the settlement
of the wage controversy.
The proposition offered by the rail-
road officials and accepted by the
men includes a minimum day of ten
hours as detailed in the New York
Central award On certain runs
where the company's present rate is
higher, the rate will not be dis
turbed.
1t was further agreed that the men
would be guaranteed twenty-six days
work a month While the men re-
gard this as concession, the rail
road officials say that during the re-
cent hard times the men were bene-
flied by being worked on short time
rather than being laid off altogether,
Until the conference the railroad
officials, it was declared, were under
the impression that the men were
really demanding a ten hour day With
eleven hours pay.

WOMAN STAYS MAN
WHO ANNOYED HER
Mrs. Stout Confesses She Killed
John O'ConnOr.
FIRES THROUGH OPEN DOOR
Is Held to Await Action Of Grand Jury
Without Bond-Husband Arrest
ed on Suspicon-ls
Released.

Springfield, III. - Mrs. Frank Stout
confessed that she had fired the
shot which resulted in the death of
Deputy State Game Warden John
O'Connor.
Mrs. Stout is in Jail here and will be
held to await the action of the grand
Jury without bond. The woman ap-
reared before the coroner's jury at her
own request.
O'Connor was shot Friday night at
his home by some one who fired
through an open door. In an ante
norton statement he declared that
Frank Stout had threatened to XIII
him. but Stout, when arrested, proved
an abb. Later Mrs. Stout was arrest
ed and, in her confession, declared
OConnor had annoyed her and had
tried to break up her home
Stealthily making her way to the
OConnor home Mrs. Stout said she
climbed the high board fence in the
rear of the house and slowly neared
the rear door of the house.
Arriving at the doorway she saw
her intended victim fondling his two
ycar-old son. At the sight OF this her
mother love for her six children arose
and protested against taking the life
of father, she said, even though he
stood accused Of making improper ad-
yances toward her.
She faltered and turned away from
the sight. When her back was turned
to OConnor and his child she forgot
all about her mother love and the
anger Of a wronged woman again
arose in her breast
Going to the doorway for the second
time. she says, she took deliberate
aim at O'ConnOr and fired. His lungs
pierced by a ball from 32-caliber re-
yolver he fell to the floor. Starting
to walk slowly away from the place
Mrs Stout found O'COnnor had arisen
and was pursuing her. The thought
of having committed murder lent
wings to her feet, as she fairly few
toward her home When O'ConnOr col
lapsod she succeeded in making her
escape.
WOman's footprints near the house
gave Sheriff Werner the clue which re-
suited in the arrest of Mrs. Stout, She
told pathetic tale Of alleged wrong
conduct on the part of O'Connor, and
her dramatic recital drew pity from
the six persons who heard It,
Frank Stout, who was first arrested
on suspicion of having slain O'Connor,
was released from custody. Mrs.
Stout asserts that she was unaccom-
panied when she went to the O'COnnor
home, but officers who have been
working on the case believe that she
had an accomplish.
The woman admitted while on the
witness stand that she telephoned
O'Connor a few days before his death
and asked him if he intended to quit
coming to her home. This admission
is taken by authorities to mean that
the woman was in love with O'Connor
and that jealousy may have prompted
her In her act.

Vote to indicate Secretary.

Washington Richard A. Bal
linger is a wise, honest, conserva-
tive official, entirely qualified to dis
charge the duties of the secretary of
the interior and fit to be intrusted with

jority of the joint congressional COM
mittee which for five months has been
making an exhaustive investigation of
the conduct of affairs of the entire de-
partment of the interior, and also of
the bureau of forestry of the depart
ment of agriculture. The investigators
who concur in these findings will be
be found to be the following: Senators
Nelson, Flint, Sutherland, Root and
Representatives Mccall (Mass.) Den
by (Mich) and Olmsted (Pa).
Minority reports disagreeing with the
foregoing findings will be made by:
Representative Madison (Kan), Sen

sentatives James (Ky.) and Graham

The reports will probably be ready
by September 10, when the committee

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding tho Morning Cup.

"Oh how hard it was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that l finally brought myself to leave
1t of.
Then the question was, what should
we use for the morning drink? Tea
was worse for US than coffee; choco-
late and cocoa were soon tired Of;
milk was not liked very well, and hot
water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and haze never been
without 1t since.
I'VE have seven children. Our baby
now eighteen months old would not
take milk. so we tried Postum and
found she liked it and it agreed with
her perfectly. She is today, and has
been, one of the healthiest babies in
the State.
81 use about two-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar,
and put 1t into her bottle. II you could
have seen her eyes sparkle and hear
her say good" today when l gave it
to her, you would believe me that
she likes It,
IF | was matron OF an infants
home, every child would be raised on
Postum. Many OF nay friends say,
You are looking so well!' l reply, I
am we'll l drink Postum. have no
more trouble with constipation, and
know that l owe my good health to
God and Postum
II am writing this letter because
want to tell you how much good
Postum has done US, but II you knew
how l shrink from publicity, you
would not publish this letter, at least
not over my name"

CANNON is OVERCOME BY HEAT
Collapses In Midst Of Fervid Speech
In Kansas.

IN NdHSdS.
Winfield, Kan. Speaker Joseph
c. Cannon collapsed while deliv-
ering speech which he had pre-
pared, attacking the Insurgents in con-
gress before the Winfield chautauqua.
Prompt aid prevented him from
fainting, but he was unable to con-
tinue his address, and. speaking with
the greatest difficulty, he begged the
audience to excuse him.
The intense heat affected him, and
brought on the sudden sinking spell.
Discomfort of people," said
Speaker Cannon, in his address here,
lis not measured by complaints in the
press. 1t is measured in more sig
nificent manner and makes more in
delible impression than that of PEN
ny paper bought, perused. thrown
away and forgotten.
Speaker Cannon declared the op-
ponents of protection have misrepre-
scented the tariff, lied about it's SEIZED.
ules and resorted to every conceivable
trick to keep the tariff in politics.
1.-The demagogue," said he. may pick
out an item here and there and say
that duties are too high, but the law
is to be tested by all its provisions
and not by an isolated item here and
there"
Mr. Cannon denounced the Insur-
gents in congress and paid his re-
spects to Senator Bristow, declaring
the latter was seeking notorety.
Somewhat in the way of reply to
an address made by Senator Bristow
in Winfield week ago, Speaker Can
non disputed the statements made by
the Kansan emphatically. Mr. Bris-
tow had made sensational charges
concerning the rubber schedule of the
tariff bill.
