WOMAN MAYOR
CLEAN Up TOWN
PooIrooms of HunnsWell
Must be Good or Quit.

HuInewell, Kan, April 10. Mrs.
Ella Wilson will occupy the mayors
chair and will preside over the COM
mon council Of Hunneweil when it
meets tonight. Her masculine oppo-
nent failed to get enough votes at the
election, was unlucky when lots were
drawn and after being counted in by
the friendly ~canvassing board ran
~squarely into the law and the certif-
cate was given to Mrs. Wilson. There
is some muttering among his friends,
but he seems inclined to give up the
struggle and allow his fair opponent to
steer the ship Of state without further
annoyance. The old council accepted
the advice of its attorney and issued a
certificate Of election to Mrs. Wilson.
Yes, l have the certificate, will take
the oath Of office tonight and expect
to preside at the regular meeting of
the new council" she said today. LAS
to appointments, l have not fully de-
cided what 1 will try to do because of
an uncertainty as to what l can do.
There is no city marshal now, but
there will be If l can get one; also the
pool halls will be closed or put under
strict regulation as to make them
harmless to the youth of Hunnewell."

BLONDES ARE
TO DISAPPEAR
Head Of Harvard Museum
Says Thers'II be Hone.

Boston, April 10.-The American Of
the future will be a much different
person than the American Of today,
and he will In all likelihood be @
swarthy man In contrast to the light
er individual of ths present, according
to Professor Frederick Edward Put
nam, head of Peabody museum, Har-
ward.
Il think that the people of this coun-
try will gradually grow darker" he
says, "and though the result will not
be q copper colored Of Indian type It
will be much darker than the average
today. This development will not be
shown for many generations and will
first make itself felt In the cities.
at is natural enough that owing to
the crowded conditions of life In the
cities this acquaintance and tntermar-
riage should occur In the cities more
rapidly than In the country. With the
large number of dark skinned persons
from southern Europe who settle In
the cities we find there the evidences
of the general d~arkening Of the Amer
lean. who Is descended from intermar-
riages of blondes and brunettes."

NEGROES HELD
FOR THE CRIME
mob at Croton Threatens
MORALLY Wounded Negro.

Croton Lake. N. Y, April 10.-Three
J negroes, two of them employed in the
Bradley camp on the new Catsklll
aqueduct and II recently discharged
from the Paterson camp at Cornwall
on-the-Hudson, are charged with the
murder of Charles II. Conklin, the sta,
ton agent and postmaster at Croton
Lake, Saturday night. In the ten min
utes that elapsed between the depar-
ture of a southbound train and the ar
. rival of a train going north three men
entered the station with pistols drawn
and began the fusillade which ended
in the murder of Mr.. Conklin and a
total gain for the desperadoes of SIS
in money, q wallet containing some
papers and the two pistols which the
agent kept IN the premises for his pro
lection. =
One of the accused was captured
within a hundred feet Of the little sta
ton. He had been lying for seventeen
hours In q cOmatose condition, q bull
let In his left breast, behind a stone
wall which divides the public highway
from the city owned shores of Croton
lake. For eight hours of that time
fully 500 persons had passed with
In a few feet of him, yet he was
not discovered. A mar weary with a
morning of searching in the woods con
tiguous to Croton lake, leaning against
the wall for rest, glanced over and saw
the body Of the negro. The negro was
In q wretched condition. He was part
ly covered with snow.
1t WAS with the greatest difficulty
that the crowd could be restrained
from attacking the man. The aqueduct
police and special deputies sworn In
by Sheriff Scherp of Westchester coun-
ty had much difficulty In getting him
to the station in safety. The police
then surrounded the station and notice
was served on the crowd that arms
would be used If necessary to protect
the prisoner. The crowds anger grad
ually ebbed away when 1t realized the
condition of the man.
The wounded man gave his name as
George Williams, twenty-eight years
old, Of Cumberland, Md, but he is
known as q man who, under the name
Of Green, recently worked at Cornwall
on-the- Hudson and who once worked
IN the Bradley camp near Croton Lake.
With the aid Of stimulants Williams
was brought to a condition where he
could talk coherently. He admitted be-
Ing In the ne~ighborhood and said that
Mr. Conk1in shot him The two other
negroes were with him, he said.

MEN
ARE FOR DELAY
Friends Of Illinois Senator
Count Noses Before Battle.

Washington, April 10.-Friends Of
in the senate and declare they have
enough votes to delay the plans Of La
Toilette temporarily II not defeat his
attempt to unseat the Illinois senator
So sure are they of their supporters
that plans already have been made to
defer debate on the La Toilette reso-
luton until after the Springfield leg1s-
latiye committee makes a report of its
findings In the graft charges.
To refer the La Toilette resolution
providing for an investigation by q
special committee of FIVE new senators
to the committee on privileges and cleo
tons is the plan and to wait until that
committee has been recognized by the
addition of six new members to the
seven holdoyers. who are pro-Lorimer.
They also Aln TO have all action,
except speechmaking, postponed until
the inquiry at Springfield has been
concluded.

phases of the Lorimer case at this
time. It is expected that Mr.. La Fol
lette will urge the adoption of his reso-
luton early this week. He will insist
that the evidence already developed is
sufficient to warrant another inquiry.
He will contend that a special commit
tee of FIVE new senators should conduct
the investigation. He will hold that
they possess open and unbiased minds.
The radical opponents of Lorimer
declare a committee of new senators
is the only logical solution of the Ques-
ton. They believe the La Toilette res
olution should be first referred to the
committee on contingent expenses and
the money necessary for the investiga-
ton provided before the plan Of in
quiry is definitely determined They
favor waiting until the Illinois legis-
lative report is submitted, but desire
that all preliminary arrangements be
perfected so that the special commit
tee may enter upon its duties imme-
diately following the report.

of the road bed at Eder, which is near
Northeast, Md, was caused by the
Northeast River backing up, and by
the torrents Of rain that coursed over
the tracks there. The same trouble
occurred at Singerly, and the freshets
caused by the storm were responsible
for part of the road bed being carried
away at Ogden and Twin Oaks.
As a result of the washout at Sing
erly Baltimore and Ohio freight
train was wrecked there Nine cars
left the tracks because of the disap-
pearing road bed and traffic was
blocked. Wreck trains were sent there,
and one train that left Wilmington

cause of the damaged road bed, and
returned to Wilmington and made the
trip to the wreck scene over the p,

accident Forces of men are repairing

Meanwhile the b. and o. trains are
being transferred to the Pennsylvania
tracks at Philadelphia and Bay View.
On the p, B. and w Railroad the
eastern stretch OF track at Ridley
Creek, near Ridley Park, had tho
road bed washed away by the storm
and rising water, and at Thurlow the
western stretch of tracks suffered in
the same manner.
There also was a washout near
Northeast, Md, of some Of the road
bed However, the two center
stretches of track are intact every

vice. while most of the other two
tracks are used by switching to get

The rain has done no damage as
yet to the freight yards at Todd's Cut.
The marshes along the tracks Of the
Edge Moor cutoff are under water.
and the marsh along the Christiana
River south of the Delaware Rail-
road junction is covered with water

At the offices of the Philadelphia

no damage had been reported to the

The motor boats, Senator, owned by
