.AoID FOR HER CHILD.
Mother Gave Poison When Her Son
Asked for Water.

Her desire to become the wife Of
Howard Kirk, q draughtsman, is be-
lieved to have caused Mrs. Edith
Nelber, a widow Of Schenectady, N.
r., to kill her five-.year-old son. To:
day she is in prison in Albany on
charge OF murder in the first degree
and she confesses that she gave her
child carbolic acid when he asked for
a drink OF water. Asked why she
committed the crime, Mrs. Melber
declared he was in "everybody's
way"
After being placed in her cell Mrs.
Melber failed to show any grief or
concern over the death of her son,
George, who was four years Of age.
She did not desire to see his dead
body nor did she take any interest in
the funeral arrangements. She did
ask that she be furnished a black
dress. Specialists in. mental diseases
who have examined her declare she
is rational and was rational at the
time Of the murder.
Young Kirk, who had been paying
some attentinn to Mrs. Melber, de-
clares that no engagement existed
between them and that the subject
of matrimony had never been men
toned.

DIED AT THEIR POST
GERMAN OFFICERS suFFoCATED
IN A SUBMARINE.
A Captain and Two ieutenants Re-

manned on Board the Craft and
Lost Their Lives.
A dispatch from Kiel, Germany,
says the sinking of the CUB the
German navy's first submarine dis
aster, cost three lives.
The dead are the captain of the
submarine and Lieutenants Fisher
and Koelbe, the latter the helmsman.
The deaths were due to an unfore-
seen mishap at the moment the Off
cials of the navy were receiving con-
gretulations on the supposed success
full raising of the "U-3" and the res
cue of the crew.
When the submarine, three hours
after she sank had been brought to
the surface by the salvage ship Vul-
kan and twenty! seven Of her men
had made their way to safety through
the torpedo tube, the captain and the

their ship until she was once more
master Of herself.
The three men were in the con-
ming tower L. which remained
submerged when the vessel rose OBJ
'iquely. Here the men might have
stayed without danger for some time
as the boat had considerable sup
ply Of oxygen, but for an accident
that shut OF this supply from the
tower.
Word was sent out that the raising
had been successful and that the
crew was safe. The work was con-
tinued, when suddenly ventilator
gave way, permitting the water to
rush into the submarine, isolating
the tower; aud cutting off the oxygen
upon which the three officers were
dependent.
With the thrush Of water the bow
OF the ship rose quickly, but the
stern, where the tower Il" Is To-
Gated, sank deeper. The men were
suffocated.

BRYAN FOR CLARK.

He Warns Democrats That Bryan is

Still a Factor.

Still q Factor.
A Washing ton dispatch says Dem
ocratic senators and representatives
whe attended the Jackson day ban
quet in Baltimore were discussing
with unusual interest Thursday the
significance OF a warning note which
came from, former Representative,
Theodore isell, Of California, recog-
I.nized as the representative Of VII
liam Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bell did not attempt to start
a Bryan boom: In fact, he eliminated
the Nebraskan from any further con-
sideraticn as the Democratic nomi-
nee either in 1912 or any succeeding
presidential year.
% "'Fate undoubtedly mas decreed," "
he said, ..that Mr. Bryan shall not be
nominated a fourth time and that
ne shall never be elected president
OF the United States"
But Mr.. Bell warned his hearers
that If they were seeking harmony
which might bring about future
Democratic success, they must not
continue policy which omitted Mr..
Bryan from consideration as lead
er in the party councils. MT. Bell
declared that the affections: Of mil
lions still were centered on Bryan
and that his views must bs given the
most serioug consideras on.
Previous to Ills references to Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Sell lad taken o.; SION
to pay high tribute to Champ Clark
as a man IN whom the middle and
the far west had implicit confidence.
He did not go so far as to name Mr..
Clark for The presidency, bat by
inference his meaning was clear md
