SUSPECTED MURDERESS
STARVES SELF I'd DEATH
Sister of 0cey .Snead Dies in a
Newark Prison

NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 11.-Miss Vir-
ginia Wardlaw, one of the mysterious
sisters under indictment for the muir
der of Mrs. Ocey w. M. Snead, the
East Orange bathtub victim, died in
the house of detention here this after
noon. Death was due in the opinion
of physicians, to starvation.
The fate of the aged woman in this
respect paralleled that of her alleged
victim, for doctors who examined Ocey
Snead before her death said her all
ments We're all due to lack of nour-
ishing food. e.s.
In the opinion of Jail attendants Miss
Wardlaw deliberately starved Lerself
to death. This has revived rurnors of
a suicide agreement between Miss
Wardlaw and her niece, Ocey Snead.
What effect Virginia Wardlaw's
death will have on the fate of her sis
ter is undetermined. She was the
dominating influence of the strange
household, and predictions were made
tonight that Mrs. Caroline B. Martin
and Mrs. Mary w. Snead may never
be brought to trial. The sisters were
indicted jointly.

COLONEL cHANTEcLER

Georges Bourbon has discovered and
expounds it in Figaro that the senti-
ments about human life and duty dis
closed by Roosevelt in his Sorbonne lee
tlre are identical with the sentiments
of NJ. Rostand's Chantecler Chante-
cler, M. Bourbon says, is not French,
he is universal, and he points to Roose-
welt as the fulillment in way of the
ideal that NJ Rostand put in his play.
NJ Bourbon estimates the colonel by
the sentiments in his Sorbonne lecture,
a discourse which has been held to be
platitudinous. No doubt of it. Whoever
makes a special discourse about human
conduct is bound to be either pIatitudl-
nous or erratic. The facts are pretty
we'll known. If the speaker states them
he can only avoid platitudes by graces

is more original and less sound. Sundry

Oklahoma Democrats in State
Convention Approve Making
Public Hamon Charges
(Associated Press)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 11.-An in
dorsement of the administration of
Governor Haskell and the recommen-
dation that the liquor question be
eliminated from partisan politics were
the chief features of the platform that
was adopted by the Democratic state
convention here today.
Among the speakers was United
States Senator Gore, who, referring to
the charges against him since the con-
gressional committee began investigat-
ing the McMurray contracts, said:
''He is a coward who would be driven
from the path of duty by the fear OF
calumny.
"I shall never be deferred from the
performance of my duty, no matter
what the consequences. The issue as
regards myself is immaterial. I am but
a temporary glow which rises and
sinks out of sight and is forgotten, yut
this matter, so far as it relates to the
immutable rights of the people, is OF
the highest concern"
The platform declares that the In
terror departments rule of Indian af-
fairs has resulted in a "deplorable con-
dition resulting from misgovernment, "
and demands the United States govern
ment Immediately to right its wrong
full policy and place the administration
of laws in the hands of those unselfish
enough faithfully to administer that
great trust"
The convention tonight adopted a
resolution pledging to Senator Gore the
confidence of the party in Oklahoma
in his integrity and expressing gratifi-
cation that his charges have resulted
In an investigation of Indian affairs.
In speech tonight, Miss Kate Bar
nard, state commissioner of charities
issued a challenge to Theodore Roose-
welt to debate with her when he visits
Oklahoma this fall.

"There has been in recent years a
considerable falling off in the imports

to the fact that the American manu-

PENSION MONEY IN QUESTION
Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 11.-Formei
Public Administrator c. c. TreadwaS
of Napa county. who disappeared some
time ago, was decided against in the
appellate court today in a decision by
Justice Chipman which upholds the
board of directors of the Veterans
Home of California and it's treasurer
c. DeColmesnil, who were sued by
Treadway to recover S517.05 which be-
longed to the late William Sawadill
a veteran, who died in the home jan
uary Z, 1908.
That the suit, which was one OF
Treadway's many litigations was
brought for the purpose of increasing
the fees of his office was made known
in the following language of Justice
Chapman:
"The only object which the public
administrator can have in getting pos
session of this pension money is to
subject it to the payment of his fees
and commission and the fees of his
attorney. The law wisely provides that
this may not be DONE"
The appeal had been taken by the
Veterans Home from the order of the
lower court in sustaining a demurrer
to the defendants answer.
The appellate court directs the SUI
perior court to overrule the demurrer,
giving the home an opportunity to
show that it is entitled to the money
under the laws of the state and ma
tional agreements signed by the vet
eran when he was admitted.
The public administrator held that
he had the right to handle the money,
while the laws give it to the home in
such cases as this where the deceased
left no heirs.
The appellate court also gave an opin-

Adjourns So Democrats
May Hold Caucus

DENVER. Aug. 1E-Until the DEM
ocratic majority in the senate has or
ganized its caucus little progress can
be made at the extra session of the
Colorado legislature, called for the
purpose of enacting legislation to re-
deem pledges contained in the state
platform of 1908. The senate today ad-
journed over until Monday in order to
give the Democrats an opportunity to
get together
Sixteen members OF the senate ma
jority have signed an agreement to
abide by the decision of the majority
of the caucus in regard to the seven
bills demanded in Governor Shafroth's
call. Three more senators have signed
the agreement with a reservation in
the case of the bank guaranty law and
the measure creating a railroad COM
mission. One Democratic senator will
refuse to sign the agreement.
Until the Democrats get at least
eighteen senators pledged, without
reservation, the extra session will do
little but mark time.

ceded that the senate majority will
frame all legislation to be enacted, suf-
ficient pressure being brought on the
house to compel it to follow the sem
ates lead.

which will be used by the Democratic
