Pas. RiI.x Resolution.

Boston. May 11.--By vote of 116 to
ITO the house of representatives adopt
ed the Riley resolution for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people. The resolution now
goes to the senate.
The resolution demands that con
gress call constitutional convention.
which shall amend the constitution so
that senators may be elected by popu.
lar vote. The convention method obvi-
ates the need of having the United
States senate vote on the method In
which senators shall be elected, be-
cause the conventions acts become
law upon the approval Of the states
Twenty eight states have already
adopted resolutions similar to the RI
ley order, and thirty y-one are needed to
call the constitution.
The debate over the resolutions de
veloped a wordy warfare between
members that was only checked by
adjournment and in which personali-
ties were handed out without stint by
number of members.
Representatives White of Brookline
and Riley of Maiden were the main
figures in the hot discussion. Repre-
sentative Brown of Medford said the
only argument thus far advanced for
the change is the cry Of bossism and
claimed there is nothing in the Massa-
chusetts situation to warrant such an
argument.
Representative knight of Boston
took Mr.. Brown to task for bringing
the steam roller into the house cham
ber." He declared that were he to be
a member Of next years legislature he
would take pleasure in voting for Sen
ator Lodge, but he believed the meth
od of election Is improper. He denied
that 1t is party measure and asked
the members not to defeat the matter
simply because 1t was introduced by /
Democrat.
MIR. Brown said he did not believ,
the senior member has ever interferet
with legislation in this state, to whicl
Mr.. Callahan of Boston replied tina
Lodge did interfere.

They were last heard from sailing over
Rich View, H., near the Kentucky
border.
The balloon was sighted two hours
before # dropped to earth. 1t was
coming from a southerly direction and
travelling at an approximate rate Of
seven miles an hour
From the condition Of the men It is
presumed that they were in the air
many hours, because their food had all
been either eaten or thrown away and
both were lying unconscious in the
bottom of their basket when they
struck the earth. They were imme-
diately taken by a nearby farmer to
his home. and physicians were called
to the house. From reports received
from that place 1t is evident that the
men are In bad physical condition as
one report stated that both were utter
ly exhausted. The physicians say that
quiet and rest will help the men to
recover.

MYSTERY OF
CRIME STILL
is UNSOLVED

New York, May 11.-A1I the resources
OF the police department have been
called upon In the effort to clear the
mystery OF the murder of Miss Marga-
ret Meehner. the aged housekeeper,
and william Renam, the Hindoo but
Ter in the house of DIR. Mott d. Can
non, but so far there are nothing more
than ingenious theories. No arrests
have been made, although the police
claim to. be searching for a criminal
who left the marks of his fingers In
the Cannon home. Apart from this.
which is not given much credence, the
strange case is as far from solution as
in the beginning.
The theory that the double murder
was committed by burglars caught in
the act of robbery by one of the slain
pair had been pretty we'll discounted
by the detectives during the night and
morning.
1t seems more than probable that the
crime was committed by some person
or persons known to either the house
keeper or the butler, who believed that
death was the only sure means of
silenclng the aged woman and the Hin
doc. The fact that the shooting was
done with a. revolver taken from Dr.
Cannon's bureau and that none of the
many valuables i'll the house, with the
exception of about 5000 in cash, were
taken leads the detectives at work on
the case to believe that the crime was
not the work of professional burglars.
The police are working on what they
claim Is an important clew. This Is
the discovery of finger prints upon a
piece of silverware which the Hindoo
was cleaning with a white powder
just before he was killed.
These marks are of a finger and
thumb. They have been carefully
compared with the finger prints of
criminals taken under the Bertillon
system at police headquarters and are
said to closely resemble the prints of
a noted criminal
Search for this man is being made.
AS he cannot be found in New York,
his description and record have been
wired to every city in the country.
When captured, the police believe that
there will be short work in clearing
the mystery If the man cannot prove
that he was not in New York at the
time of the murders.
Persons not connected with the po-
lice scoff at the finger mark clew,
claiming that prints on the piece OF
silverware are of such a nature as to
make positive Identification through
them impossible. These persons insist
that the killing of the old woman and
butler was the work Of madman.
One of the persons put through a
searching examination by the detec-
tives was William Clark. the negro
butler who left DR.. Cannon's service
last Saturday and who is now employ
ed by DR.. Reuben Cronson, who lives
next door. The negro was able to es-
tablish an alibi and gave clear de-
scription Of his movements
The negro Clark was arrested not
long ago for carrying revolver.

BEETLE HEADS FOR HATPINS
Women Overcome Fears and Use In
sects of Various CoIors in e.
Latest Fashion Fad.

London.-Women have overcome
their natural repugnance for insects
sufficiently to wear imitation beetles
and flies. Will they proceed step
further and adopt the real beetle as
an adornment?
Hatpins with heads consisting of
real beetles are the latest fashion Gre
ated for women's hats.
The beetles, which are about an
inch and half long, and an inch
across, are in their natural state,
minus their legs, and some are very
beautiful and might be admired by
the most nervous woman.
The first four to be shown in Lon
don were to be seen at a we'll known
Regent street establishment. One of
these-light green in color-has the
appearance of a perfectly enameled
beetle.
One dark green beetle and one
which is a dark copper color tinged
with green show the natural sheen of
the insects. Less pretty, but unique,
is the "Rhinoceros beetle" hatpin
head, which is larger and brown in
color. They are all tropical beetles.
The hatpins have been sent from
abroad by naturalist who conceived
the idea of turning the beetle to use
full account" said representative of
the firm.
They will be somewhat expensive
when first put upon the market, but
more will be ordered II women like
them"
THE hatpin heads are all lamelli-
corn beetles" naturalist said. The
green beetles are similar to the Eng
lish rose beetles"

A knowledge of eugenics. he said.

wrong men. But u frequent objection
made to the science of eugenics was
that it constituted undue interference
with an individuals free choice In
falling in love and marrying
ITO certain extent" said the pro-
fessor, IL sympathize with that objec-
ton, but | do think a certificate OF
sound health should be one Of the
things insisted upon before marriage.
The insurance policy Is rarely more
important than the marriage settle
ment. Some knowledge of eugenics."
he added, would in many cases pre-
vent falling in love with the wrong
people.
"Unconsciously, as it is, we are
much guided by eugenic considera-
tions. Generally. a mans attraction
for woman is attributable to his fine
and strong physique. and in the same
way the points of beauty in women
are those which belong to her wom-
anhood. But some training In eugen-
les would enable a young man or
woman to detect those signs of degen-
eracy which are obvious to the scien-
tific eye."
The professor boldly advanced it as
the duty of every beautiful woman to
marry. She owed 1t to the race. On
the other hand, people should not be
too scrupulous. because physical
health Is not everything and many
families physically defective are yet
OF great use to the community"
Physical degeneration in this coun-
try is going on at an alarming rate,
Professor Inge believes. He went so
far as to say that If the process con-
tinued at its present rate, in three
generations the English stock, which
few years ago was one of the best
In the world. would be one of the
