man whose associations with Cll1ord
j. Keinie, prompted her husband Gro
yer c. Eidman, of Fort Riley, to take
his life here, spent a delirious day in
a local hospital, to which institution
she was removed following a complete
breakdown. Physicians in attendance
fear that her mind will become unbal-
anced. After Witnessing her husband
take his life she spent part of the
night in the room. At sight of a pool
of blood she swooned and only after
several hours regained consciousness.
On orders from his mother, Eidman's
body was taken to Fort Leavenworth.
The burial will be in the National ceme-

DIES IN CHAIR CAR.
Now Railroad Is Searching for Mans
Relatives.

Hutchinson, Kan. Dec. 1S.-A man,
woman and a girl assisted an aged
man to board a northbound Missouri
Pacific passenger train at Wichita late
Saturday. They asked G. w. Baker,
a Peoria, Ill, travelling man, on the
train to care for him. The man died
in the chair car between Haven and
Hutchinson. Letters addressed to
Samuel Keyser, McCracken, Kan,
were found. The body was taken to
a Hutchinson morgue and search was
started for the man, woman and girl
seen with the dead man at Wichita.
They have not been found.
THE old gentleman was accom-
panied to the train by persons who
said they were his son, daughter-in-
law and granddaughter" Mr.. Baker
said. They said he was ill, but that
he could get along alone. They asked
me to look after him as long as we
were together. I carried his grip at
Haven, where we changed trains on
account of a wrecked freight train,
and he seemed in good spirits. He
died while in the chair car after we
got on again, without apparent suf-
fering."

speaker here made reference to posi-
BILE changes in economic policies
though he mentioned no specific thing.
Some people say he asserted, that
business is going to be disturbed by
the changes which are going to be
undertaken by the Democratic party
I mean changes in economic policy.
Business cannot be disturbed unless
the minds of those who conduct 1T are
disturbed. A panic, according to the
dictionary, is really a state of mind.
There is just as much money in the
country the day after panic as the
day before, but it is distributed differ
emily as a result of the panic
Here the governor issued his warn
ing against the deliberate starting Of
panics. AS he concluded his speech he
remarked that perhaps he had rambled
in his subjects but that he had tried
to steer away from politics as much
as possible.
Throughout the speech there we're
frequent Interruptions of applause and
there was a storm of cheers when Mr..
Wilson finished speaking. Mrs Will
son and her daughters sat in a box
while the speech making was in pro-
gress.

banquet was held was crowded with
men and women, the list of guests
including many persons in public life.

WHAT MUST BE
DONE IN CASE?
State and Federal Health
Officers in Conference.

DR.. C. w. Naulty, Jr., federal
health officer, together with DR.. G..
w. Fithian, state health officer, have
conferred with the State Board Of
Health as to what disposition shall
be made of cases Of diphtheria and
scarlet fever which may be found on
board vessels coming into this port.
According to the statements of DR..
Naulty the government does not de-
tain ships on board of which the
foregoing diseases are prevalent. 1t
Is the custom to notify the state
board and then to allow them to
make what disposition of the cases
as they see fit.
Both physicians want to be pre-
pared in such an event and the ques-
ton arose as to where the patients
could be taken and the other mem
bers of the crew watched. The local
hospital cannot accommodate the
numbers and the isolation hospital,
according to the doctors, could not
be used as a portion of the place is
set aside for consumptives. DR..
Naulty in conversation with a NEWS
reporter, told of the dangers If a

CHILDREN
ROBBED THEM
Claim Two Sens In
corrigibIs- Case Heard.

On complaint of their father and
stepmother, Joseph and John Rut-
Xxi, nine and eleven years old, re-
s~pectively, of 426 High street, were
before Recorder Kehoe this morning
charged with being in~corrigible, with
stealing and with staying away from
home both day and night. The
younger lad was claimed by the par
ents to be the worst. They declared
he even stole most everything of
value that he could lay hands on in
his own home. Both were remanded
for a later hearing.
At the hearing it developed that
the lads with other boys had stolen
rowboats, oarlocks, a ham and other
articles. Joseph, nine years old, ad-
mitted stealing a boat and some oar
locks at the foot of Washington
street and to stealing a ham from
elsewhere. John, the older brother,
said he had stolen some oar locks.
The complaining father and step
mother said the younger boy was the
worst and he had started John on a
path of crime.
Joseph was not inclined to talk
much when arrRigned. He was
cross-examined by the recorder, chief
of police and detective ~sergeants in
an effort to learn II he knew some
thing about boat thefts recently re-
ported to the police. The lads sob
bed as they were led back to a cell.
