SAY MAN BURNED
 WIFE TO WED ANOTHER
First Shot Her and Then Set
 Bed Atire, Is the Charge.

When Matthew B. Vanaman of Read ing, Pa, went to the hospital for a medical certificate that his wife had died of burns she received a week ago he was charged with her murder and lodged in jail.
 Assistant District Attorney Fl. T. Dunn says he will prove that Vana- man, who is only twenty-two years of age, deliberately made away with his wife that he might marry Miss Ella Wissner, a pretty and estimable girl of good family, who believed him to be a bachelor.
 On the morning of Feb. Vanaman, shouting for help, threw blazing oil stove from the window of his wife's bedroom. The neighbors, hurrying in, found Mrs. Yanaman unconscious in bed. Her nightrobe and most of the bedclothes had been consumed by fire. Vanaman told them the stove had ex- ploded and set the bed on fire.
 Later Mrs. Vanaman died. Her body was taken to an undertaker's, and there the coroner found a bullet wound in her temple. He revealed this fact only to the district attorney, and Mir. Dunn began secret investigation, with the result that he caused Vana- mans arrest.

NO MORE CONCESSIONS TO
FOREIGNERS IN CHIHUAHUA A

The fear OF many MeXicans that al
the valuable lands of their rich coun.
try might in time be owned by for
cigners will he measurably relieved by
the proclamation of the new governor
of chihuahua that foreign concessions
regarded as monopolies will not be re
newed or extended. Undoubtedly the
Influence of the state government ear
be successfully exerted to carry out
the governors plan, but titles to min
ing lands. under the new mining Law
of 1909. can only be acquired through
the national department of Fomento
and, presumably, can only be vacated
by that department.
The retired secretary of Fomento
Mr.. Molina of Yueatan, introduced ir
this law a clause prohibiting the own
ership of any mining lands by foreign
ers. which was hotly debated in con.
eress and defeated. Public sentiment
opposed it. The cry of "Mexieo fo,
Nexicans" is Frequently heard, but
the feeling it expresses is not strong
enough to sanction the exclusion OF
foreign capital and the loss of the
owners pay. There are large existing

Int the railway facilities of that vast
state are as yet so inadequate that the
nv ntall transportation of their pro
duets is difficult
great deal of money has been in
vested in chihuahua by Americans
Don tless some concessions have beer
oht,'ned through dealings with politi
clans. American sentiment will gener
ally approve the determination of the
new state government to put its home
in order, to suppress Objectionable
foreign monopolies, and to cancel con.
eessions which have been unfairly oh
tanned, at whatever cost. The gov
ernor says:
"Undoubtedly foreigners, including
Americans, who profited so greatly un'
der the Diaz system, will he hard hit
by the new area, but the determination
to uphold Mexico and to improve the
condition Of her poverty stricken peo-
pie, will, T am sure, receive the hearty
support fthe great body OF Amer
cans.
Americans as rule will aprove OF
the efforts Of the new rulers of Mex
co to improve and uplift the inhabi
tants Of that country. Reports thai
many Americans in Texas helped e
arm the revolutionists with view e
obtaining concessions from the revo
lutionary government need not be con
sidered in relation to the frank and
coherent statement Of Gonzales. But
Mexico cannot keep its place amont

eign capital to develop its wealth an'

that the country has been pauperize

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL
NOW OFrICIATE AS NURSE

Special provisions for taking care of
babies and their mothers upon arrival
at railroad station is the latest ex-
pertinent that is being tried by the
Southern Pacific company at its Sac
ramento, CAL, depot. The idea il only
and experiment and is at the suggestion
of one Of the patrons of the Southern
Pacific company
A special room has been furnished
for this purpose just Off the main wait
ing room of the depot and two women
attendants, practical nurses,are always
present to look out for the needs Of
the women travellers who have their
infants with them. Couches have
been provided for the convenience Of
the mothers and q number of special
ly constructed cots for the babies
have been installed.
In this manner, when a woman trav-
eler with baby is compelled to wait
in the depot for her train or for those
who should have met her at the sta
tion, she is provided with all the COM
forts she would have in her own home.
The nurses in charge of the room pre-
pare a bed for the baby and for the
mother and they are allowed to rest
for as long time as may be necessary.
Apparatus is to be installed to facii-
tate the heating of the food for the in
fants and if the experiment proves to
be success it is possible that it may
be extended by the Southern Pacific
company to all of its principal stations.
The idea is not original with the
officials of the company. 1t was OFFER
ed by woman traveller and is being
experimental with, as are all sugges-
tions that are offered in this way if
they appear to the officials to be prac-
ticable.
