Miss Caldwell is a half breed Indian
maiden; she was born in Oklahoma
70 wears ago, and lived on the great
anches during her younger days.
wien mere child she was at home
in a saddle of a fieet-footed broncho,
and had learned to handle the lariet
long before she was 12 years of age.
Her parents deserted Oklahoma for a
new home in Kansas City, and it
was this move that afforded Betty
Caldwell all the benefits of a good
schooling, where, at the age of 16
she graduated and turned to the
stage for her living. That season
she was successful in securing an
engagement in the chorus where she
remained for a season. The next
year she was chosen as one of the
six dancers who won lots of praise
for their clever work while touring

The women were armed with hat pins.
umbrellas and rubber shoes. So the
chief OF police did not take their at
tack seriously and ordered that they
be arrested with as little violence as
possible. AS there was no room in
the prisons for 400 the women were
locked up in the dirty police station,
where most OF them are still.
or the many bold robberies within
the week these are perhaps the most
daring:
Four men, masked and armed,
seized, bound and gagged the agent
at the Babianitza railway station, Po-
len, at midnight. They robbed the
safe of $4,000 in cash and destroyed
all the tickets and documents In the
office. Twelve desperadoes. armed
with the best repeating rifles. halted
a train near Tcheliabinsk in broad
daylight, bound the engineer and pos
tai agent, stole $500 from the postal
car safe and escaped.

SAYS TAFT USES APP0INTIvE
POWER AS BIG STICK
Senator Bourne Charges President
intinidates Members Of Congress
and Reads Beverly Letter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S--President
Taft, by inference, was charged last
night with using his appointive power
to intimidate members OF congress.
The inferred charge was made in a
speech in the senate by Senator john
athan Bourne, of Oregon, president OF
the new Progressive Republican
league, and, until recent trouble over
an Oregon appointment, the intimate
friend and golfing companion of the
chief executive The surprising thing
was that although all Of the senator's
audience construed his remarks as an
attack on the president, not word
was uttered in reply.
The Beverly letter. in which Secre-
tary Norton declared that the presi-
dent had withheld federal patronage
from certain senators and congress
men, but would discontinue that prac-
tice. was brought into the limelight.
On previous occasions insurgent sena-
tors have threatened to read this let
ter in the senate, but until tonight no
public reference had been made to It..
Mr.. Bourne opened his speech by a
discussion Of the Oregon law. He
declared that when this law is en-
acted by all the states, 1t will de-
stroy the power OF the federal ma
chine TO renominate president or
determine his successor. The steam
roller" he says, will be relegated to
The political scrap heap and Its oper-
ators TO the shadow of things for
gotten, while fourth class postmasters
will cease to oe political aset for
anybody or any party.
Senator Bourne said that the use
Of the presidential appointing power
to coerce members OF congress would
bve either bribery or intimidation,
bribery, II patronage was used as
a reward, and intimidation, II with
held a punishment. In this connec-
ton he read section $3.50 of the re-
vised statutes, making Il a crime for
any person to. offer or give anything OF
value to any member of either house
OF congress with intent to influence
his vote or decision on any matter
pending In either house.

has issued instructions to Col. c. Med.
Townsend, of Detroit, to sign con.
tracts with Grant. Smith & Co. and
Locher for the resumption of work on
the widening Of the Livingstone chan
mel at the lower end Of the Detroit
river. Col. Townsend recommended
the acceptance OF the bids some six
months ago. Mr.. Livingstone is happy
over the prospect of the work being
resumed. He thinks the channel will
now be rapidly pushed to completion.
Mr.. Livingstone also rejoices over the
fact that President Taft has signed the
bill, providing. among
other things. for an appropriation of
$4,000 to install a lighting system

MADISON, Wis.,, Feb. 2S.-In bare
upper room in an old business block
on State-st., there is a long table.
Flanking the table on either side are
iron bedsteads. Smaller rooms ad.
join, and in these are iron bedsteads,
too.
About the long table two state SEN

gather nightly to read new bills and
thrash them out among themselves.
These rooms are the barracks" OF
the IA Socialists Milwaukee sent to
the Wisconsin Legislatures this year.
They live there partly because II is
cheaper than living at hotels-they
are mostly workingmen without any
great means-and partly because thus
they can be together.
I'VE want to be together" said Rep.
Frank Weber, that we may always
be prepared to act as a unit when the
time for action comes. We had 20
