FOSS WANTS PEOPLE
TO VOTE ON LODGE

Boston, Nov. 26.- Governor-elect
Foss has suggested that the selection
of q United States senator to succeed
Henry Cabot Lodge be postponed un-
til the incoming legislature has had an
opportunity to enact bill providing
the question be submitted to popular
vote. Mr. Foss agrees to use his in
fuence with a sufficient number of
Democratic Legislators to obtain this
end If Mr.. Lodge will do the same with
Republican representatives. The state
ment says. in part:
II shall recommend to the legisla.
ture that the matter of the senatorial
selection be referred to the people for
their decision at the polls next fall. I'M
shall decide the question before that
time.
IF Senator Lodge is willing to abide
by the popular decision, I invite him
to join with me in the agreement that
there shall be no selection made by
the incoming legislature. and that a
law such as prevails in many states
shall be enacted to secure the popular
verdict in the general election of 1911.
In this wise the matter can be deter.
mined by popular vote, and it rests
with Senator Lodge to say whether he
il willing to take the judgment of the
people. II he is not. then it must be
evident that he wishes to obtain this
ONCE without regard to the will of a
majority Of the people and. indeed. to
occupy it against the will of a ma
jority."

YOUNG GIRL TO Be
TRIED FOR MURDER
Case Is Most Mysterious, No
Satisfactory Motive Hav-
ing Been Found.
american News sersice>

Boston, Mass. Nov. 26.-Mysteries
of an unusual character remain to be
solved in the case of Clarence w.
Glover, a Waltham laundryman, for
whose death Hattie LIE Blanc. a sew
enteen-year-old girl. will be placed on
trial Monday in the Middlesex county
court in East Cambridge.
The killing of Clover occurred in his
laundry in Latham on Nov 20, 1909.
In the evening of that date he was
shot in his laundry under circum-
stances shrouded In mystery. The
wounded man succeeded in crawling
to the house of a physician a short
distance away and died soon after he
had succeeded in summoning the per-
sons in the house by ringing the bell.
Just before he expired he is alleged to
have declared that he had been shot
by Hattie lie Blanc, who is said to
have been seen with him some hours
previously near the laundry.
No Motive for Crime.
So far as can be learned, the police
have been totally unable to fix any
adequate motive for the killing SO far
as the lie Blanc girl is concerned, de-
spite the statements of the dying man
that it was she who fired the fatal
shot. Rumors that some OF the dead
mans family were closely concern
ed in the tragedy and that there would
be other indictments for the murder
have been given wide circulation. but
apparently nothing has developed to
substantiate there reports.
The lie Blanc girl is a French Cana
dian. who came from West Arichat,
Nova Scotia, to accept employment as
a domestic In the Glover home. Her
acquaintance with English was very
slight and she was known as quiet
modest girl who bore an excellent rep
utation. During the year that she has
been confined in jail she has won
many friends and large amount OF
public sympathy. From the time OF
her arrest she has steadfastly refused
to make any statement concerning the
killing of Glover. George p. Kyle, a
member of the Dominion parliament,
is among those who have interested
themselves in the girls case and it is
understood he will endeavOr to enlist
aid Of the Canadian government in
her defense.
| What is considered one of the re-
markable features of the case is the
fact that Hattie LIE Blanc hid herself
in the Glover house for three days and
nights after the shooting. On the day
of the funeral of the murdered mar
she was discovered hiding in one Of
the bed chambers by the undertaker's
assistant. Mrs. Lillian Marie Glover
widow Of the dead man, declared that
the presence Of the girl in the house
was unknown to her.

CAR AT FIT. WAYNE

Fl. Wayne. Ind. Nov. 26.-Acting on
information from Muncie to the effect
that an incoming interurban car had
diphtheric patients aboard who had
broken quarantine, the Fl. Wayne
health department held up the car
when it reached this city. The 20 or
more passengers and the crew were
detained In the car until both car and
occupants had been fumigated. Later
1t developed that the Muncie officers
had the wrong car under suspicion,
and that the suspected cases of diph-
liberia had passed through Fl Wayne
last night, going to Ohio.
