TRAVELLERS END SESSION
Go to Manhattan Beach When
Prosperity Parade Is OFF.

Although the rain came down in torrents
at Manhattan Beach last evening, II failed
to interfere with the good time which the
commercial travellers and their wives were
out to have. A dance was arranged by
them and il was not until an early hour
this morning that it's end marked the clos
ing of the tenth annual session Of the
Order of United Commercial Travellers.
The prosperity parade, for which they
had made elaborate preparations, had to be
called off owing to the rain. The travel
ling men were keenly disappointed over
this, but found solace arranging q. euchre
party in the afternoon. Those who did not
understand the game spent the afternoon
telling stories as only commercial travel
iers can. There was not dull moment
with them during the day.
It is safe to say that never has the Man
haitian Beach Hotel housed a more jolly
crowd. The travellers let 1t be known
that in their line of work It is not often
that they can stay long in one city, and
that 1t is only once a year that they can
get together like family.
''Of course the rain kept us in most of
the day" said one of the travellers last
night. but with the exception OF the fall
ure to hold the parade to-day, don't think
II has caused us much disappointment.
Commercial travellers are used to rain. and
they are used to getting about in all kinds
OF weather. It is seldom that they get the
opportunity OF remaining long together like
this. and there ia only one regret that can
seriously offer-the session is coming to a
close too soon"

The attention Of DR.. William H. Gull

was attracted to the death certificate
yesterday by his memory OF Mrs. Smol-
lens elopement. He called up DR.. wer-
ner and DR.. Coe on the telephone and
inquired more particularly about the
case.
Both assured him that there were no
suspicious circumstances. Dr. Guilfoy
said, however, that he understood that
Mrs. SmoIlen had suffered several severe
attacks before the one on Thursday night
and that an unusual method was taken
in the attempt to save the patients life.
Dr. Guilfoy consulted with Coroner's
Physician O'Hanlon, but DR.. O'Hanlon
said that he did not think there was evil
dence enough to warrant an investiga-
ton.
Husband Goes TO Bayside.
Smollen was told OF the death of his
wife by telephone yesterday morning.
He was told. SO those with whom he
lived said yesterday, that she had died
in London. Smollen went at once to
Bayside. where he lived when he first
knew Miss Leavitt and where he has a
brother working in a laundry.
Smollen. who formerly worked for
James J. Curbett. the ector-pugilist. now
with Jeffries in California, sent a dis
patch to Corbett last night, relating the

an answer from Corbett to-day. and
says that he viii do whatever the
pugilist says.
Margaret Leavttt was an attractive
blond, twenty-five years old. when she
married Joseph SmoIlen secretly IN Jer-
sey City on January 6, Smollen was
less than nineteen years old, and had
been the driver Of her motor car in the
previous summer and autumn. When
Mr.. Leavitt decided to lay up the car
for the winter and discharge SmoIlen
Miss Leavttt objected. and her objec-
tions TO being separated from her chauf-
feur finally took the form Of marriage.
The family was not Informed of the
wedding for several days. Soon after
the facts had become public the young
couple rented an apartment at No. 200

her marriage TO nearly 100000. IT is
that at the time Of the sepa-
ration an agreement was reached for
Sn1ollen's future. If she did not make

wife's personal estate, according TO the

In this event Smollen's share would be

BADGER STAR MAY QUIT.
Upon Advice of Physician FulIback
Benson May Retire.

Madison, Wis. Oct 27.-Fullback
Benson of the Wisconsin university
team, who was hurt I'm the game with
Lawrence university and again during
practice last week, has been advised by
physicians to give up football. as his
injuries are serious, and he will prob
ably follow the advice. If he drops out
the principal candidate for the full
back position will be Sampse, a heavy
fellow but somewhat slow.
Murphy was in at right guard yes
terday, displacing Branstad. This is
not considered permanent change,
as both men will probably be used in
the remaining games. Owing to the
fact that most of the players were
still lame from the effects of the
game with Indiana Saturday, the
scrimmage scheduled for yesterday
was cut out and signal practice sub
stituted. The team was also given
a signal drill in the Symposium after
supper. A scrimmage is on the card
for tomorrow.
The Badgers will meet Northwest
ern next Saturday
