FLoNzALEY QUARTET PLEAsEs
Delights Audience With Rendition of
Classical Music.

The Flonzaley quartet which played
at Security hall Saturday night to as
large an audience as the room could
accommodate, gave a concert in many
respects the finest performance that
has been given in Topeka under the
auspices of the WaShburn college fine
arts department, and it was perhaps
the finest offering of chamber music
in the musical history of the town.
The quartet devotes its entire time to
the cultivation of chamber music.
each member agreeing not to teach,
play in orchestra nor accept individual
engagements. In this respect it is
unique among all the organizations of
it's kind in the world. In appearance,
the members are interesting, the for
eigner evident in looks and manners,
and all wearing that expression OF
Zine frenzy supposed to distinguish
the poet and the musician from the
rest of mankind. The first violiniSt,
Adolfo BETH, is a Florentine, who ap-
parently has breathed deep of the at
mosphere of that ancient art center,
for every tone from his bow is elo-
that comes from a source deeper than
cultivation and training.
The first number on their program
was Mozart's Quartet in G. Major, in
four movem ents. The rendering OF
this masterpiece showed superlative
ability other numbers were from
Glazounow, Haydn and Boccherini
Dvorak's Quartet in F Major was the
closing number on the program. The
frequency with which Dvorak's music
is found on concert programs of late
proclaims it's popularity and the num-

TRIED TO FOLLOW HIM.
Mrs. Ada Hatfield, Whose Lover Killed
Himself, Takes Poison.

Mrs. Ada Hatfield, whose lover, Will
liam McLain, committed suicide last
week saying she had refused to marry
him, sought to follow him into eterni-
ty Saturday night by taking dose OF
arsenic. Her flight was thwarted by a
stomach pump.
When McLain killed himself, she
denied that he had any reason to ex-
pect her to marry him 1nasmuch as
she already had a husband and also
baby. They both had been staying at
the home of w. H. McLain, an uncle
of the suicide, at 405 Lime street.
She had refused to go to his side
when McLain took poison and called
for her. Since that time, however, she
seems to have brooded over his power
full demonstration of love. Apparently
she thought she ought to do something
in return.
She took the dose while on the street
in front of the house at 429 Lake
street, having bought it at the drug
store at Sixth and Lake streets. DR..
H. b. Hogeboom, the city physician,
was called and removed her wings.
But while he worked over her, she
said she would beat him yet and go to
join her true lover. She has been
separated from her husband for some

spinster. whose wealth was revealed
only through her commitment to an
asylum.
Miss Williams has been living the
life of a recluse for many years in a
one-story. dilapidated frame shack on
an undeveloped avenue in BROOKLYN.
Several days ago neighbors com
planned that Miss Williams, who is rs

removed to the Long Island state hos

special agents went to her hovel TO

DAY OF FAMILY ROWS.
County Attorney Entertains Members
of Warning Factions.

Perhaps it was the sudden drop in tenn
perature, perhaps not, but Sunday was a
banner day for the resurrection of family
rows. There were a dozen stories of do
nestle infelicity told today in the office
of the county attorney and some of them
may reach the courts.
Eliza beth Mann, who lives at 132 Roose-
welt street told pitiable tale concerning
trouble over the cutting of a shade tree.
Adjoining the Mann home on the north
is that of Mrs. Mary Haverelly. On the
line between the two homes is a shade
tree. Mrs. Haverelly wanted the tree re-
moved. She made preparations for the
removal when Mrs. Mann interfered.
The Haverelly woman's line of argu-
ment was punctuated with a few healthy
raps with a hoe handle. Mrs. Mann then
produced her family hoe and emphasized
her remarks with an attack of the bust
ness end of the garden tool. Mrs. Haver-
ely possibly received the worst of 1t.
Both women wanted a warrant.
From John Millford's home, Huntoon
and Highland avenue, came a story of
protracted abuse 1t is claimed that Mill
ford, who is now living with Mrs. Mill
ford No. g. compelled his family to live
two days without anything to eat Last
week a child was born at the Milford
home, but the husband is said to have
refused to call a physician. Then when
the cold wave struck Topeka Sunday, the
wind sifted through the cracks in the

Topeka avenue with three children. His
wife is dead. A second Mrs. Williams
came to the home some months ago.
After a short trial, she abandoned the job
and returned to mother. So yesterday
Williams is said to have started trouble
with the children. According to stories
told in the county attorneys office Will
liams procured a heavy strap and beat
the children. There were large welts and
deep cuts on the children's bodies when
neighbors interfered. Possibly a warrant
will he issued for Williams arrest.

GIVEN ANOTHER START.
Resolution for Direct Election Is RE-
ported to the Senate.

Washington, May 1.-The senate
committee on judiciary by a vote OF Z
to 5 today agreed to report the house
resolution for direct election of United
States senators.
All the Democrats present and three
progressive Republicans voted for the
resolution. They We're Senators Chill
ton. Overman. Culberson, Bacon, Cum
minis, Borah and Brown.
The negative votes were cast by
Senators Clark (Wyo.), Dillingham;,
Sutherland, Brandegee and Root An
amendment offered by Mr.. Sutherland
providing for federal supervision of
elections when deemed desirable was
voted down. Senator Borah, who led
the fight in the last session for the
measure, was authorized to report it to
the senate.
The senators who voted against the
Sutherland amendment were Bacon,
Culberson, Overman and Chiffon,
Democrats, and Borah and Cummins,
Republicans.
Following favorable action by the
committee on judiciary, Senator Borah
of Idaho reported to the senate the
house resolution for direct election of
United States senators. Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, asserting that the reso-
luton had been prematurely consider
ed by the committee, indicated that he
took no action to that effect today.
Senator Hepburn declared that under
a resolution of the senate the new
committee had not become effective
before II o'clock today. Mr.. Culber-
son called attention to the fact that the
old committee of the senate had been
continued and both he and Mr.. Borah
contended the action had been perfect
" regular. Mr.. Hepburn, however,
would not have it so; there was no
committee authorized to sit, he said.
Whatever meeting was held was a
meeting of individual senators and
they had no authority to report the
resolution
In the House.
Washington. May 1.-The house of
representatives resumed debate on the
tariff at II o'clock today with a deter
mination to complete the discussion of
the free list bill this week. Repre-
sentative Moss of Indiana declared
himself in favor of the present free list
bill and convinced of the merit of the
Canadian reciprocity bill recently pass
ed by the house. Representative
Jongworth of Ohio. a Republican
mittee, attacked the free list bill in
strong terms in the first speech of the
day from the opposition side. He de-
clared the bill was vague in its terms
and so loosely drawn that even the
Democratic leaders could not saw def
nitely what industries it would affect
if it becomes law.
Mr.. Longworth declared that Chair
man Underwood of the WAYS ana
means committee could not tell him
even what paragraphs of the PAYNE
Aldrich tariff law are affected nv tbe
free list bill.

Magdalena, Son.. May 13.-Unless re-
Inducements arrive soon, Col Ojeda,
commanding the garrison of Hermo-
sillo, consisting of 200 men, must face
most critical situation. Only the
most desperate resistance can prevent
the capture of the largest city in
northwestern Mexico by insurrectos.
To add to the difficulty of his stu
alton, the city is poorly fortified. There
are no surrounding trenches. To the
southwest there is a hill, at the base
Of which are the barracks. in which
the garrison is quartered. Up the hill
from the barracks is the penitentiary,
and beyond 1t the city waterworks.
The hill is defended only BY two
Colts rapid fire guns. If the hill is
captured by the rebels, the control
of the water supply would fail into
their hands.
If reinforcements. on their way, are
successful in reaching Hermosillo, the
defending force will number about
1900. The rebels are mastering 1000
for the assault and the surrounding
country is in revolt, the force may be
double that number.

OF STAR WITNESS

Viterbo. Italy. May 1S.-The crown
prosecutor today asked that Gennaro

Today's exchange between Abbatte-
