ONE REPUBLICAN, WHO CALLS TAFT MEASURE SOclALISTIC,
 BOLTS HOUSE MEETING.
AMENDMENT IS ACCEPTED
Disposition of Postal Savings Funds, Was Left to Be
 Dealt With.

Washington, June 3-One Repubh- can, Representative Southwick of New York, bolted when the Republi- cans of the house went squarely on record for prompt passage of the post. al savings bank bill, which is part of the Taft program.
 Southwick vehemently denounced the bill as radically socalistic and withdrew, declaring he would fight the measure on the floor.
 The bill was finally agreed on at a four-hours' caucus at which the fol lowing resolution submitted by Repre- sentative Tawney of Minnesota was adopted
 Resolved, That the postal savings bank bill agreed on by this caucus, be and the same is hereby adopted, that the same be reported by the con- mittee on postoffices and post roads, and that it is the sense of this eau GUS that a rule be reported from com mittee on rules for it's consideration in the house."
 One Section Left to Be Dealt With.
 The caucus left only Section g, re- lating to the disposition of postal sav- ings funds to be dealt with.
 Ii fixed at 65 per cent the amount of funds placed in the postal savings banks that must remain on deposit in banks in each state and territory and 90 per cent as the proportion of such funds that the trustees may withdraw for investment in United States secu- rites The other five must be held as permanent reserve in the United States treasury. This disposition of the funds which were contemplated in connection with the proposed postal savings banks legislation was provid- ed for in the Davidson amendment which was adopted.
 The original bill provided that 47h per cent of the funds that might be put in the postal savings banks should be deposited in local banks and the same percentage was authorized to be withdrawn for investment in securi- ties with per cent reserve fund in the treasury.
 The caucus voted down the Vree- land amendment which extended the percentage of deposits allowed in local banks to 72A, the investment in securities to 221a with per cent per- manent reserve.

 As she sat on the elevated witness chair she became the center of every eye. Those in seats craned their necks to see her clearly. Judge Grimm moved his chair close to the wit nesses' side of the be9ch to observe her closely
 The jury came out of their attitudes of easy rest ulness and expectancy ot great revelation was plain on the face of every one, even the court attaches.
 Very minutely the clever lawyer led his client through her story, the crowd drinking in every syllable.
 In the expectation that Mrs. Dora E. Doxey would take the stand and DOT tray to the jury the entire life history which has brought her to the bar on trial for her life. an immense mob Of men and women fought for room in Judge J. Hugo Grimm's court on the tenth day of the hearing
 The mob caused the detailing of extra police and the stretching Of ropes being necessary in the Four Courts corridors to hold the crowd back
 When court opened, however, it was learned that the defense had changed it's plans and Mrs. Doxey would not go on the stand at once. It was determined to call five medical experts on the part of the defense.

INSURANCE TALK IS FANCY

St. Louis, June 3.-With her life at stake. tears in her eyes and facing the jurors with whom her future rests, Mrs. Dora Doxey repeated on the Wit ness stand a drama atic and pitiful tale of the influence of morphine on the life of woman.
 She showed herself slave to the drug which was constantly admins. tered to her by Doctor Doxey. Sel- dom outside of books has a recital so dramatic as that of Mrs. Doxey been given to the world
 Beginning with her birth, near the little country town of Joy, H., she testified to her life. which was laid open as a book. and sparing her i'm prisoned husband nothing. moved spectators to tears.
 She testified that Doctor Doxey and herself were estranged owing to his continually plying her with morphine at the time she came to St. Louis to live with William J. Erder, whom she is accused of poisoning.
 In reference to her marriage with Erder, she testified that she had no recollection of signing the affidavit fer a marriage license, which was pro. duced in court and to her recollection had never seen it until it was brought into the court to be used as evidence.
 State Asks No Questions.
 After Mrs. DoXey had completed her dramatic recital on the witness stand the state refused to cross examine her permitting all her testimony to stand as undenied and uncontroverted SO far as she was concerned.
 his action, almost without prece- dent ill the history of a murder trial fairly stunned the auditors in the crowded court room and was a wei come surprise to Mrs. Doxey, who had been nerved for terrific strain
 Counsel for the defense were so as tonished they hardly knew what to do next
 She brought her father into the story. showing he had made many trips from his home to Iowa where the Doxeys lived, to induce Dr. Doxey to cease giving her the drug. Always the doctor promised, only to increase the doses after her father had de- parted
 All these things she urged as show Ing under what circumstances she made her boasts of expected wealth, ot mythical relatives, of estates and insurance from which she expected large returns. All these circumstances she explained as vapors of the mind supplied from the constant fires of morphine.
 when It came to the administration ol arsenic to Erder she denied that 'hls had ever been done either in or outside the influence of the drug, or that she and Dr. Doxey had conspired lo XIII Erder for his life insurance
 There was dead silence in the crowded court room of Judge Grimm when Attorney Johnson called Dora E' DoXey" and the woman in black "ho had sat at the table in the seat ol the accused, arose in her place and walked to the witness stand.

ADA IN GALA CARE
 WELCOMES TAFT. COLLEGE TOWN CARRIES OUT PROGRAM THAT RIVALS THOSE
 OF ALL PREVIOUS YEARS.
PRESIDENT TALKS TO BOYS
Nations Chief Executive Also Re views Large Military and Mer- chant Parade--Growth of
 Northern University.

Ada. O.. June 3.-President Taft de uating students of the Ohio Northern university here today. Arriving in the morning, he was escorted by a committee headed by President A. E. Smith of the university to the campus and there delivered the parting word to the graduates. Not since the days of the great Campbell-McKinley de bate did the citizens and business men of the town take such interest in making grand success of a great event as in the visit of the president. Civic committees were appointed and placed in charge of all particulars of the entertainments. Nothing was left undone.
 Military and Merchant Parade.
 This class day went down as an other of the great days in the history of the Ohio Northern university. It added another to the long list of ad- dresses by great men, It was the sig nal for the turning of the public gaze once more toward this little town. whose life is in reality due to its schools. The days of the past, when thousands congregated here to do homage to the great men of the na- tion were re-echoed. :. review of a large military and merchant parade by the president was feature of the afternoon. This parade included the entire battalion of cadets, consisting of four companies, battery, signal and hospital corps, followed by the mer- chant floats.
 Beginning of School.
 A story of the beginning of the school and of the beginning of the attention that Ada attracted from the great men reads like a romance. The civil war ended, little, wiry man cfifted into the then mere village and began teaching in a one-room public school. In connection with this he took up the work of teaching a small select school. In the fall of '66 this man prevailed upon the famed Doctor McGuffey author of the McGuffey reader series, to address the graduat- ing class. The teacher was Henry s. Lehr, later to become known as a man whose cleverness could make a cross roads school town the political center of great state and practically a nation.
 The advent of great men came with the beginning of the school The very next year Professor Harvey spoke to the graduating class. He was followed by numerous prominent men of the state, including Gov. Charles Foster, Benson Foraker, Congressman Con
