bitter personal enemy and rival candi-
dpte for the office Of president gem

So quickly had the scene changed
that for moment not a soul either on
the rostrum or on tho floor seemed 10
of traitor" and Judas were mingled
with Storyite exclamations OF "su-
perb courage" mobile heroism." :"
splendid moral fiber"
Scarcely had Mrs. Torbet named her
candidate. when Mrs. John C. Ames,
state regent OF Illinois, rushed to the
platform. and. raising both hands to
quell the uproar. In voice shaking
with emotion, said:
81 emphaticaily declare to you al
state regent OF Illinois that this del
cgation came into this congress I'M
structed to cast q unanimous vote for
tho beloved daughter OF our native
state. Mrs. Matthew r. Scott. Mrs.
Lewis *. Torbet was n member OF this
delegation. In coming to this plat
form and nominating Mrs. Scott's op-l
poncnt sne has forever brander herself
as traitor.
Jeers and jibcs from the Storyites
followed this pronouncement. the DEM

Mrs Torbet, again ascending tho steps
to the rostrum, raised her hand as II
takins; an oath, and exclaimed:
II have sworn to Almighty God to
give my aid to Mrs. Story In this elec-

Later when the balloting was In
progress Mrs. Torbet made 1t a point
as she passed toward the ballot box
to open her ballot and hold It before
tho state regent, Mrs. Ames. that that
officer might be assured by her own
ewes that as regent Of tho Chicago
chapter Mrs. Torbet kept her word and
cast her ballot for Mrs. Scott
The impeachment OF Mrs Torbet
was the first thought OF tho chapter
members. but calmer counsel prevailed
and 1t was decided to postpone action
until the meeting of the Chicago chap
ter. from the regency OF which Mrs
Torbet will retire.

KILLS SELF As he
IS FOUND GUILTY
Joseph H. Griffin Had Been Convicted
of Forging Marriage License
Wife Died Mysteriously.

BAY CITY, Mich, March 20
Shortly after jury In circuit court
had found him guilty OF forging mar.
riage license, Joseph II. Griffin, OF
Saginaw, swallowed poison and died
in the county jail twenty minutes aft
erwards.
How he obtained the deadly stun is
not known. Griff drained the vial in
the court room, but the officers were
not aware of the fact until he told
them while enroute to the jail that he
had taken poison and they had better
summon his two sons.
Attempts to force emetics were re-
sisted, Griffin clinching his jaws.
Griffin lived a number OF years with
q woman in Saginaw who died several
months ago. About a year ago he
secured a marriage license In Bay
City. The woman had some life In
surance and Griffin presented claim
for the insurance, flashing the mar
riage certificate. Insurance investi-
gators began to question and sus-
picious circumstances caused the po'
lice to take Griffin into custody on a
technical charge of making threats
against the Saginaw county agent
A physician, who had attended
Griffin's wife, told the police that Grif
An had boasted of being a student ol
toxicology and had done much expert
menting with poisons. The police
searched the house and found half a
dozen bottles OF dead poisons. After
being held 10 days, Griffin was re-
leased. but meanwhile, the Saginaw
police learned that the marriage IL
cense had been forged. Griffin was
brought TO Bay City on a warrant
sworn out here by Saginaw officer.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The news

stories about what the law-lasgard

about the shirtwaist factory horror
IL reminds one OF how the 'laggard

nearly 1000 lives were sacrificed. IT
sent to the penitentiary Capt. Van
Shaick who obeyed orders and took
the steamer out on ale water, but the
men who profited by an unsafe boat,
who refused to buy life-saving appar-
atus, never suffered the slightest pun
ishment.
What can the law do in this factory

Judge and decide what the law ought
TO do.
More than once | have written or
factory hands being cruelty killed In
factory fires, but my stories were sec

for, with my own eyes / saw S2 girls,
boys, women and men meet terrible
death. l saw and heard them die,
standing not so feet away from where
they splashed onto the stone sidewalks
like breaking eggs. Nearly hundred
others died within the building.
In the windows Of the eighth, ninth
and tenth stories Of the Asch building,
near Westinghouse, / saw the faces
OF scores of human oeings, doomed to
death. They were employees OF a sweat
shop, one OF the largest In the city.
On the two street sides Of the big
building there was not fire escape.
One fire escape would only have cost
the price OF one automobile. and the
men who own the building and the
sweatshop have automobiles to spafe.
A fire escape would only have cost
the price of trip to Europe. with
high living, on q palace ship.
A fire escape would only have cost
the price Of one fine oil painting. 1t
would only have cost one years rent
OF q medium fine apartment.
A good fire escape can be built with
the price Of a rare set OF furs.
A summer cottage at $4,000 costs
more than a fire escape. A box at
the grand opera for the season is more
costly than a good fire escape.
But there was not fire escape;
some one had been choosing the other
ways OF spending his money. And 80
cruel death and greed, hand In hand,
went at their work In our full view on
that bright sunny afternoon, killing
girls, boys, women and men, who were
making shirtwaists for the Easter
season.
With 20 fire escapes there was only
one way down. 1t was through the air,

THINKS AMERICA AND AFRICA

Massachusetts Scientist Thus Ac-
Counts for Existence OF Kangaroo,
Opossum, and Wombat.

BOSTON, Mass, March 29.-The
North American opossum and the
Australian kangaroo are living proofs
Of the connection just discovered py
scientists between the American con-
tinent and Africa thousands OF years
ago, according to Prof. Robert Payne
Bigelow of the Massachusetts lnsti-
tute OF Technology.
Prof. Bigelow says the evidence Is
found in the distribution OF animals
which have pouches in which to car
rv their young. These animals In
clude the opossum, the kangaroo, and
the wombat.
The theory is that once the pres
ent ice bound Antarctic region was
great continent, with temperate clim-
ate, and that this continent compris-
ed Australia, New Zealand and other
south Pacific islands, and its north
ern sections we're Joined to South
America and to Africa.
