SELF MURDER PACT
QUICKLY REGRETTED
WOman's Cries for Help Attract

st. Louis, Mo-, July 24.-Bound
together with two steel chains and
10 feet of inch hemp rope and
weighted with a valise filled with
sand, Brice Wommack, so years old.
of near Troy, Mo-, the father of five
children and one of the wealthiest
men of Lincoln county, and Airs.
Mollie Anderson jumped from a skiff
into the Mississippi river here early
this morning. James Landers, a city
employe at the intake tower, rescued
them.
Wommack is held by the police,
charged with the theft of the skiff.
Mrs. Anderson is in the City Hospit-
al. 1t is feared the nervous shock
has unbalanced her reason.
The near-tragedy was the result of
a suicide pact. Every detail of their
plan to kill themselves and bury
their bodies and all evidences of
their fate at the bottom of the Mis-
sissippi had been carefully gone over
before they left st. Louis.
After sinking twice beneath the
Mississippis wind-swept waters, Mrs.
Anderson hastily reversed her de-
cision that death with Wommack
was better than life without him.
She cried for help and grasped the
boat.
While he supported the woman, to
whom he was bound with one arm
and chung to the drifting boat with
the other, Wommack attempted to
argue the woman into concentrating
their attempt at suicide. They drift
ed past the intake tower. Landers
heard the woman's cries. As Lam
ders approached them they were in
an eddy, and it was only by endan-
gering his own boat that he managed
to reach the couple.

Few institutions need more watch
ing for the benefit of unfortunate hu-
mainly than benevolent establish
ments and asylums under State and
private auspices. Often the inmates
are compelled to undergo treatment
and surroundings that are not only
foreign to the spirit of the institu-
ton, but an outrage upon justice.
This is especially true of reform
schools and insane asylums, from
which disgraceful reports frequently
leak out.

Washington, Feb.f 26.-The Den,A.

submitted as substitute for the ad-
ministration measure offered by Rep
resentative Humphrey, was introduce
ed in the house today by Representa-
tive Humphrey, was introduced in the
house today by Representative Spight

which they now enjoy under the law

Mr.. Spight in explaining his bill,
laid stress upon the provisions which
permit the free entry into this coun-
try of ship building material. He de-
clared no one could oppose logically
that feature without declaring himself
in favor Of the "steel trust" and that
he believed his bill would do more
for the upbuilding of an American

Democrat in Congress Declares
That Late Law Is Respon-
sible for the Trouble

Washington, Feb. 26.-Representa-
tive Claude Kitchin of North Carolina
made general assault on the new
tariff bill under license of general
debate on the postoffice appropriation
bill in the house today.
Telling number of stories Of starv-
ing children and of workingmen ap-
pealing for food in the large cities,
Mr. ,Kitchin concluded each tale with
the statement: "And all this under
the Aldrich-Payne bill which no one
on the Republican side has the cour-
age to defend"
Mr.. Kitchin declared the bill was
we'll named the "all-rich-pain bill
blessing to all the rich and a pain
to the hungry people Of the coun-
try"
Reading from newspaper clippings
Of distress among working people and
of large profits earned by the United
States Steel corporation. Mr.. Kitchin
declared that "at the very time the
| steel trust was earning such great
profits men who helped to make them
were takine their little children from
school to assist in the support of their
families"
A lively exchange took place be-
tween Mr.. Kitchin and Representa-
tive Gardner of Massachusetts, over
the prices of food products. Reading
from testimony of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson that meat products of
the American farm were being sold
in Europe cheaper than in this coun.
try, Mr.. Kitchin said:
"It is not true that the farmer has
benefited by tho ''~h prices. Prices
for farm products we're higher in 1893
under the Cleveland administration
than ever before and statistics show
that"
Turning his attention to Cannon
ism," Mr.. Kitchin in dramatic man.
ner described what he termed plot
to assassinate Mr.. Cannon for the
good of the &c. o. p" Referring to
near insurgents" Mr.. Kitchin read
from New York newspaper a de-
scription of their alleged desire %
get rid of the speaker in order to
save themselves in the next election
In mimic tones, the North Carolinan
charged with hypocrisy those who op-
posed the speaker. They were really
not against Mr. rorrc, he said, but
they we're masquerading before their
constituents In order to obtain re-
election. Mr.. Cannon, he said was
but carrying ont the will Of the ma
jority and the NEAR insurgents" in

serted.

awarded decree of separation from
her husband, Howard Gould with
alimony of $4,000 year, last June.
"Big Hawley's" name figured prom
inently in the separation suit brought
by Mrs. Gould. He now alleges that
he advanced Mrs. Gould $2,4OO in
1894, when they were both in London
with the understanding that it should
be repaid in 1899. Continuing, the
plaintiff sets forth that Mrs. Gould
continuously sought his companion.

of Paris. but at the Blackfriars hotel

fifty pounds to help her out of hel

Mrs. Gould in her reply calls at.
tention to testimony of former Police
Inspector Mclaughlin, given in hel
suit for separation, that Hawley is
known to the police as "an all.

swindler." She denies she ever knew
