Brooklyn, last Saturday night, and af-
ter scene of confusion in which the
Democratic candidate tried to pacify
the angry crowd, the police interfered
and arrested her on charge of dis

talking about monopoly when Miss Ma

How about woman suffrage. Govern

suffrage" Cries of put her out,
came from the crowd. Don't be rude
to the lady," urged the governor and
the crowd became quiet, while the
speaker added: "Woman's suffrage,
madam, is not a question that is dealt
with by the national government at
all; am only here as a representative
of national party" The woman con-
tinued to shout questions about suf-
frage, and when the governor could be
heard again he said to her: II hope
you will not consider 1t discourtesy,
IL I decline to answer your questions
on this occasion. I am sure the lady
will not insist Miss Malone did not
stop, however, and for a few minutes
there was a confusion Of cries to take
the woman from the hall, which final

Gary, Ind, October IS: II guess |
turned out to be some good after all, I"
sighed Bill Rugh this morning, then
he turned his face to the wall and
died. It was Rugh, who, a few days
ago, submitted to the removal OF a
withered leg that material might be
provided for a skin grating operation
that saved the life Of young woman
he had never seen. Physicians said
pneumonia was the cause Of Rugh's
death, but the ailment resulted di-
rectly from his self-sacrifice, having
been due to irritation of the lungs by
the ether that was given to him when
his leg was cut. Rugh had no rela-
tives, and since coming to Gary, a
ramp. several years ago, had made a
living selling newspapers on the
streets. The girl. Miss Ethel Smith,
for whom he sacrificed his leg and
later his life, had been horribly burn
ed in a motorcycle accident. 1t is just
two days since her recovery advanced
sufficiently to permit her removal from
the hospital in which Rugh died. He
will be buried at Rock Island, ILL.,, on
Monday. A public meeting has been
called for next Monday night, at which
plans will be made for raising money
to erect a statue to the memory Of the
newsboy. Mayor Thomas E. Knots
issued two proclamations today, one
announcing a public funeral over the
body Of Rugh, Sunday afternoon, and
the other calling the public meeting
for Monday night. Miss Smith, who
has not fully recovered from the ef-
fects Of the burns and the operation,
was not informed of Rugh's death un-
til late today. "I am so sorry" she
sobbed. He gave his life for me and
I could do nothing for him."
- Chicago, October 19: Charged
with the abduction Of white girl,
Jack Johnson, the negro champion
pugilist, was arraigned in municipal
court today. His bond was increased
from $500 to $1,500 and the case con-
tinued until October 29. A profess
sional bondsman posted a cash bond
for the negro. The agents Of the gov
ernment department Of justice were in
court. When the pugilist stopped his
automobile in front Of downtown
bank today such a crowd gathered
that police were called. MCtterings
against the fighter were heard, but
there was no open demonstration. A
few negroes cried "hurrah for john
son." A mittimus ordering the de-
tention of Lucille Cameron was issued
today by Federal Commissioner Foote,
She was held under $500 bond.
Miss Cameron will appear before
Commissioner Focte Tuesday and it is
expected she will be taken before the
Federal grand jury the same day.
She was questioned by government
agents for two hours today but refus-
ed to tell of her relations with john
son. A report that Johnson had Wis
tied the bank in an attempt to obtain
$4,000 to effect the girls release on
bonds, caused Federal officers to plan
to remove Miss Cameron to the coun-
" jail dl tSOChlOIu, CHilSu SldlSS
Commissioner Foote authorized her
removal. Miss Cameron was later
taken to Rockford by a deputy mar
shall. Her hearing on charge of dis
orderly conduct was continued to
October 29. While Johnson was leav-
ing a bank down town, an unidentified
man dropped a large ink we'll from
the window on the tenth floor Of an
office building. The heavy glass mar
rowly missed the pugilist's head.
- New York, October 20: Former
Police Lieut. Charles Becker will take
the witness stand in his own defense
in his trial on the charge of instigat-
ing the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
according to John F. Mcintyre, his
chief counsel. He stated today that he
had yielded to his clients desire in the
matter and that Becker's story would
be heard within the next two or three
days. I'VE have finally decided to
torney. He has been anxious to do so
all along, but we have not thought it
necessary. He wants to clear himself,
however, by his own testimony. He
will tell the whole story. He will swear
to his innocence of any participation in
the crime and will explain his associa-
tions with Jack Rose and other gam
blers. He will show that Rose was his
stool pigeon in gathering evidence
against gambling places and that his
association with other gamblers also
was in connection with his duties as
head of the strong arm squad. Although
he is anxious to testify, according to
persons who visited him in the Tombs
today, Becker is confident of acquit-
tai He expressed the belief, it was
said, that the jurors who have heard
the testimony given in his defense al
ready have been convinced that he is
ii victim of a conspiracy on the part
o 'ack Rose Bridge" Webber and
Harry Vallon, the trio of self confess
ed accomplices to the murder, to save
their own lives. In support Of the claim
of the defense that Webber and Rose
at least had a motive for killing Ro-
senthal, two witnesses have testified
that they heard them threaten the life
of the gambler a month before the
murder. while another swore that he
heard Rose eXculpate the police lieu
tenant of all connection with the crime
Mr.. Mcintyre promises to put on the
stand a newspaper man who he says
will establish an alibi for Reckpr for
