bers started to Celebrate the Wed.
ding Anniversary Of One Of the
Members With Whiskey and Wine.

Chicago, March 21.-Mrs. Charles
Schenk, who confessed she shot her
husband Saturday morning after a
night of revelry, today was held to
the grand jury on charge Of mur-
der by the coroner's jury. She will
remain under the surveillance of the
village police until after the funeral
OF Schenk, after which she will be
committed to the county Jail.
The discovery Of a second bullet
found in register on the second
floor put an entirely new phase to the
shooting. according to the police, and
gave them the theory that Mrs.
Schenk shot her husband deliberate
ly.
From the location Of the bullet and
the position in which her husband e
body was found, they now believe
Mrs. Schenk quarreled with her hus-
band and shot at him, while he was
standing in the doorway Of her bed
room, and after he had fed down
stairs, followed him to the top OF
the stairs. leaned over the rail and
fired the shot that ended his life.
While giving her testimony, Mrs.
Schenk was overcome and fell. Her
head struck against desk, and she
received a painful cut over the eye
She related the incidents of the par
ty, which she said had been in the
celebration Of the fourteenth we'd
ding anniversary of Chick" Fraser
a former National league ball player,
She said she had been put to bed
by other women Of the party, but was
awakened soon after by Schenk call
ing her from down stairs. She got q
revolver, fearing burglars. and hur-
rfed to the top Of the stairs. Then
she said she could see her husband
STOPPING on the stairs. She admit
ted the revolver was discharged, but
said she did not know of firing the
shot and has no knowledge of the
events Immediately after.
Under cross-examination Mrs
Schenk said she did not know how
many shots were fired and that she
may have pulled the trigger more
than once before dropping the
weapon.
The uncertainty of her story, to-
gether with the testimony of Paul
Cebek, Schenk's hostler, who declar-
ed he heard two shots in the morn
ing are said to have been the cause
Of the jury voting to hold Mrs.
Schenk to the grand jury.
Chick" Fraser testified that, with
his wife, he had formed one Of the
six couples that began a night of
gayety at a church euchre party.
AFTER the church party, at which
we had lunch, but no drinks, we went
to Park Ridge to a hotel. where some
members of the party and myself
have been living" said the former
pitcher. 1T was my wedding ami
versary, so got quart of whiskey
to celebrate. Then we got a quart Of
sour wine for the ladies. Drinks
were served to all, but l did not see
Mrs. Schenk drink anything.
Then we went to a music hall in
Park Ridge, and at about 2:3O went
over to Schenk's home There we
had more beer, whiskey and wine and
finally moved the furniture out of
the dining room and danced. During
the dance, Mrs. Schenk got dizzy and
later, l learned, she had been put to
bed. Every one was happy"

GUESTS SCARED
French Lick Springs Shaken B,
Dynamite Explosive.

French Lick Springs, Ind, March
21.-The six hundred guests at the
French Lick hotel were reused from
their beds early today by an explo-
sion Of dynamite or giant powder in
a new building in the course of con-
struction. by the hotel company. The
explosion caused considerable excite
ment among the guests but no dam
agewas done beyond the breaking of
a few windows. %s
The cause Of the explosion is not
known, but Thomas Taggart, presi-
dent Of the hotel company, said the
explosive was part of consign-
ment used by the contractors in
blasting rock. to make way for the
foundation Of the new building and
that as far as he knew the explosion
was accidental. ~.

ed cOunsels among them as to the
wisdom Of long continued obstruc-'
tive tactics, which would result in
considerable Inconvenience to the
general public, aud which the COM
mon sense Of the electors could hard
ly endorse.
Election Might be Necessary.
The government will, by attempt
Ing to force supply during the next
two weeks, compel the obstruction
lists to clearly show their hand, and
In the event Of continuation of the
present tactics and a refusal to pass
an interim supply bill, If found nec-
essary 1t might be that an appeal to
the country would be found neces-
sary to solve the deadlock
The issue in that event would be
clearly defined. and although it
would be obviously unjust for the
opposition to force an appeal to the
country before another session when
the redistribution bill could be put
through and the west given it's prop
er representation in new members,
the bonus would lie with the opposi-
tion and the government would not
fear the result. 1t is probable that
supply Will be the first order OF gov
ernment business for the next two
weeks, with probably one day in each
week given to the continuation of the
debate on reciprocity. The develop
ments of the next few weeks with
the governments determination to
keep the house sitting late unless
some progress is made, should serve
to put the situation clearly before
the people Of Canada. 1t may be
noted that during the past two weeks
the business Of legislation and the
voting of supplies has practically
not been advanced single step. 1t
may also be asserted with assurance
that the government had no inten-
tion of either dropping or modifying
its reciprocity proposals and will use
every endeavor to have them passed
by the house as speedily as possible.
