F'isherIman's Luck.

The lady bather had got into a
hole. and she couldn't swim. Nor
could the young man on the end of
the pier; but when she came up for
the first time and he caught sight of
her face he shrieked:
Help"
A burly fisherman sauntered to
his side.
"Wot's up?" he hoarsely cried.
My wife! Drowningl | can't
swim, Twenty pounds for you if
you save her."
In a moment the fisherman was in
the sea. In another moment he was
out of 1t, with the rescued lady
bather. Swelling with expectation
he approached the young nan again.
We'll. what about that twenty
quid?" he asked.
But if the young mans face had
been ashen before. it was now deadly
pale as he gazed upon the features
of the recovering dame.
Yes. / know. he gasped.
But when ! made the offer | thought
it was my wife who was drowning,
and now it turns out it was my wife's
mother"
The fisherman pulled a long face.
Just my luck, he muttered,
thrusting his hand into his trousers
pocket. How much do ! owe you?''

Voters of the Ninth Iowa congression

Judge w. R. Green, progressive re-

1t is the first election since Presi

republican majority in the district is
anywhere from five thousand TO
twenty-four thousand, although Smith
had hard work last year to get 1,S4S.

no one understands it, although. Ma

ITO death that the standpat republl-
cans will remember the way the pro
gressives cut Smith year ago and
get even by cutting Green. How
ever, it may turn out all right. All
agree that if two-thirds of the nor

NEW YORK, June 3.-Upon the
statement o1 Eileen McComb, seven
years old, and upon admissions of
Harry A. Scheib himself, the police
tonight insist they will prove the
chauffeur now accused of numbering
his wife and putting her body in
solution of chemicals to aid decomp-
osition, ate and slept in one room with
the body in n adjoining bathroom for
at least two n onths.
Coroner's Physician Leblanc sworc
in court today that the body must
have lain in the tub at least four
months before it was discovered
Scheib has told the police he moved
away from the apartment in which
the body was found about three
months ago. Eileen today told the
police she saw Scheib hurrying away
from the vicinity of the house of
death "a hours before the body was
found.
The polio said tonight that the
consummate nerve exhibited by
Scheib under the most grilling exam
inaticn is the nerve of man who
they believe could, to divert suspicion,
reside in the same apartment that
contained the body Of his dead wife.
So far Scheib has had the best of the
police. At today's hearing they fail
ed to prove even that murder has
been committed. Nothing really has
been proven against Scheib except
that his action in paying rent for a.
apartment he did not use and which it
now seems certain contained the body
during part of that period at least,
is suspicious

Mrs Andrew Mellon, wife of Pitts
burg's multi-millionaire banker, saw
agely attacked the state divorce law
today in court in his argument to ap-
point a master to take testimony in
the divorce proceedings instituted by
Mr. Mellon. The attorney plainly in
timated that the new divorce law
passed by the legislature last April
was made particularly for this case.
Mrs. Mellon, who is the daughter of
a wealthy London brewer, was N
court, handsomely gowned. The mil
lionaire accuses his wife of infidelity
with George S. Curphey, who holds
commission in King Georges army.
The wife is making demand for
trial by jury. If she gets the trial it
will prove one of the raciest divorce
trials ever heard here.
Judge Gordon argued that the new
divorce law was not applicable to the
present case, as 1t was passed after
the present proceedings we're institute
ed. Mellon first sued for divorce in
