MAYOR IS oUsTED BY WOMEN

The women of Seattle, Wash, exer-
cising their political power for the
first time, recently ousted from office
Mayor Hiram C. Gill and elected as
his successor George w. Dilling. While
the women did not accomplish this
work alone. they were in a large
measure instrumental in bringing It
about, SO much so that the result
would have been different had they
not voted. Gill was elected mayor of
Seattle year ago by a majority of
$500. Women were then denied the
right of suffrage, but In November
were clothed with that power. Almost
from the start Gil1's administration
came in for sharp criticism.
AS soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move
ment to recall" Gill under a provi-
sion of the city charter and elect a
successor to serve the unexpired term
took form and the women entered
into the campaign with enthusiasm.

NEW MINISTER TO PORTUGAL

Henry Sherman Boutell, who has
represented the Ninth district of Il
linois in the national congress for the
past Is years, but who failed OF re-
nomination last year, has been NOM
mated by President Taft as minister
plenipotentlary to the new republic
of Portugal, at an annual salary of
$4,000. He succeeds Henry T. Gage
of Los Angeles, Cal, who recently re-
signed the mission because of i'll
health and to look after his private
interests in southern California.
Mr.. Gage was appointed minister
to Portugal in December, 1909, and
was in charge of the legation at Lis
bon when the monarchy of King Man
uel was overthrown and the republic
of Portugal proclaimed in May, 1910.

Mrs. Rumball said that while Helen

her to such an extent that she be-

Horrible Tale Of Torture
Alleged by Former N. D. People

Mrs. Emma L. RumbalI, formerly 9
Braddock, N. D., girl, together with
her brother. is now on trial in Cali
fornia on q charge of numbering her
stepdaughter. Most of the testimony
introduced thus far has been very
much against the defendent. The two
following dispatches tell of the crime:
oroville. Cal--Working on declara-
tions by physicians that only a sud-
den Jerk by a strong arm could have
broken the neck of 13year-old Helen
Rumball, whose dead body was found
hanging in the home of her stepmoth-
er here, Dist. Atty. G.. F.. Jones and
Sheriff j. B. Weber today were seek
ing evidence for tomorrow's prelimin-
airy hearing that murder was done.
III the statements of the physicians
are corroborated, a charge of murder
already found by the corners jury,
will be formally made at the hearing
against the girls stepmother, Mrs.
Emma l.. Rumball, and her brother
Archie Lewis, both Of whom are held
in Jail here in connection with the
girls death.
District Attorney Jones declares he
has already discovered some new evil
dence which he believes showed the
girls neck was broken either by
Lewis or the stepmother jerking the
rope while the child. her hands bound
before her, was unable to maintain
her balance. AS she fell, Jones be-

Clothes Soaked With Precipitation.
One Of the chief witnesses for the
prosecution when Mrs, RumbalI and
Lewis came to trial will be Harriet
Plantz, the first outsider to visit the
Rumball home after the tragedy. She
declared today that the child's cloth
Ing was soaked with perspiration and
that the temperature in the attic
where the crime was committed, Awas
at least 1870 degrees when she arrived.
Tied hard and fast as she was, the
child's last hours, Miss Plantz de-
clares, must have been time of fear
full torture, the intense heat added to
her sufferings from wounds Mrs.
Rumball inflicted in an admitted beat
ing, making combination that would
be almost uncomfortable even by the
strongest man.
Her own story of the torture and
death of Helen Rumball today was
told by Mrs. Rumball at the Jail.
After declaring that she was married
to Rumball seven years after coming
to California from Braddock, N. D.,
