Tells of His Love, Then Dies
From Poison's Effects.

Greenville, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE Rev

of his sweethearts father, Ed. Newly.
When Mr. Newly opened the door, in
response to the Rev. Mr.. Koonce's

unconscious in his arms.
In the note the pastor declared his
love for Miss Newly and asked her
forgiveness for his act.
An empty bottle, found at the gate
OF the Newly residence, showed where
the Rev. Mr.. Koonce had swallowed
the poison. When Mr.. Newly opened

had been drugged, and asked him
what he could do for him.
Nothing" gasped the young man.

BRITAIN SLABS At U. S.
RESIDENT AMERICANS RESENT
INTERFERENCE.
Captain Reisiser, Of Kings Navy, Of
fioislIy Declares There Shall Be
No Fighting at Greytown.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, via New Or
leans, La, Jan. 17.-The official dec
laration of Captain Reisiger, Of the
British warship Scylla, stationed in
Nicaraguan waters, that there shall be
no fighting at Greytown, is still re-
garded by the resident Americans as
a move not as innocent as appears
on the surface. Many declare that it
looks like a covert slap at the United
States. While a similar order with
reference to Bluefields before the bat
tie of Recreo was given by Captain
Shipley, Of the Des Moines, 1t is point
ed out that the situations were not
parallel.
There were no troops within sixty
miles of Bluefields and Captain Ship
ley's order occasioned no embarrass-
ment. The government troops are in
Greytown, and Just how General Ma
tuty Is to defeat them unless Captain
Reisiger compels them to move out
side the town, which would put him
in the position of interposing armed
Intervention, is puzzling the Estrada
government.
Greytown is the sole British legacy
remaining from the old Mosquito
coast" Although the town has fallen
into decay, such property as there is
is owned by British subjects, many of
them negroes from Jamaica. Notwith-
standing this, the United States rec
ogDized the blockade which Estrada
declared against Greytown.
British Consul Bingham of Grey
town is generally reported to have
been interested in certain enterprises
with Zelaya.

Mrs. ollie Wall, a member of q we'll

40 feet to the brick pavement from
the ledge of third-story window at
st. Johns hospital. The fall fractured
three ribs and her right arm and In

has a slight chance to recover.
Before crawling to the ledge of the
window she is said to have sent her
special nurse, Miss Schlief, out of the
room on a ruse to get her drink of
water. DR.. o. G. Raines, her physi-
clan, said she was victim Of neuras-

Mrs Wall appeared to be in cheer
full mood and begged DR.. Raines to
let her go back home. The physician
told her she could return as soon as
she was able to walk. In bantering
way Mrs. Wall arose from her bed and
tried to walk, but without success.
This is thought to have brought on
an acute attack of melancholia.
Mrs. Wall was dressed in sleeping
clothes when she jumped. She missed

heads of two passersby. They were
walking east on Locust street and
were attracted to the curious sight of

feet away they suddenly heard a

Months in sanitarium or Lose
Her Mind, Say Physicians.

in st. Agnes hospital, Roberta De
Janon, the 16-year-old heiress to the
BUST millions, who eloped with FerdI-
nand Cohen, a waiter, is losing her

sicians declare she must spend at
least six months in a sanitarium or
lose her mind. Mr.. Buist declares he
will employ two famous alienists to
examine the girl.
When the clipping neiress was first
brought to the hospital, Tootsie, her
pet dog which accompanied her on
her long fight, was not allowed in the
institution Her demands became so
insistent, however. that the dog was
finally brought to the hospital.

FOR UNIFORM State LAWS
GREAT CONFERENCE IS OPENED
IN NATIONAL CAPITAL.
About One Thousand Delegates Re-
spond to Call Of the civic Fedora
tlon--President Taft Attends.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Responding to
the call issued by the National Civic
Federation, about 1000 delegates as
sembled here to-day for national
conference to consider the subject of
uniform legislation by the states of
the union. The delegates are from
every state and represent all fields of
social and business activity affected
by the present lack of uniformity of
state laws. The governors of most of
the states also are present.
At the invitation of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON, President Taft consented to
attend the opening session and make
the first address. He is deeply inter-
ested in the subject and feels that it
is of great national Importance. Lead
ers in the movement declare that un-
less the states legislate with substan-
tial uniformity on a number of sub
jects the tendency toward centraliza-
ton and a corresponding increase of
federal power cannot permanently be
resisted.
The purpose Of the conference is not
to pass on all the specific problems
caused by the dissimilarity Of state
laws, but to educate public opinion as
to the Importance Of uniform action
by the states and to federate the vari-
Gus agencies now striving to secure
such action.
Tomorrow the governors will begin
a three days conference on the same
subject, and with them will meet Seth
Low, president Of the National Civic
federation; Alton B. Parker, chairman
of the committee on program, and R.
M Easley, chairman of the executive
committee of the same body. Presi-
dent Taft will address the governors
tomorrow.

PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR HOMES
Wall In Ohio rs Miles Long, Is 40 Feet
High In Plaees-New Gorge
Forms in Wabash River
Mass Meeting Held.

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 17-Wids-
spread destruction from ice and flood
of the Ohio river is imminent at Leav-
enworth, Ind. Citizens of the town
appealed to the government and state
asking that Wolf creek gorge, now
seventy-five miles long, be dynamited.
The gorge is holding back the water,
and when it breaks people at Leaven-
worth fear their town will be inun-
dated.
The river rose a foot Sunday and
water is flowing into cellars in the
river dttrict of the town. A govern
ment official is said to have left
Louisville to see if it will be advisable
to dynamite the gorge.
Mountains of ice loom up over the
water front of the town. Gigantic
cakes of ice, some towering 20 feet
above the ice-laden surface of the
river, threaten to grind down the
buildings along the river front. Many
families fed from their homes as they
watched the ice gradually come
nearer.
Citizens Hold Mass Meeting.
A mass meeting was held in the city
Sunday to discuss the situation. 1t was
at this meeting that it was decided to
appeal to the state and government,
as well as Evansville and Louisville,
for aid.
The gorge, which begins at the
mouth of Wolf creek, extends up the
river a distance of about seventy-five
miles. 1t is as solid as cement in
places, and rivermen fear that dyna-
mite will not cause it to move. To
dynamite the whole gorge would be
out of the question, owing to it's size.
In places the gorge is 35 and 40 feet
high, and it has remained stationary
now for nearly a week, and the ice
constantly coming from above causes
the gorge to grow in size every hour
Other Towns Threatened.
People at Alton, Ind; Mauckport,
Ind; Hawesville, KY, and several
other towns between Leavenworth and
this city fear the ice. In many places
watches are kept at night to warn the
people if the gorge breaks.
The damage in the lowlands will be
heavy.
Green river and it's tributaries are
still rising at a rapid rate. Most of
the gorges in the Wabash and White
rivers have broken and several small
boats along these streams are in dan
Der of being cut down.
A new gorge in the Wabash river is
reported between Vincennes, Ind, and
Terre Haute, Ind.
Several boats arrived here from
Green river, but they will not remain
long, as they fear the gorge above.
