ored, and Her Husband.

head of publishing firm, who lived in
Chicago as a white man, and died APP

enda Anderson, eolored, of Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, as her husband. Lee began
his career in small New Hampshire
town, it is said, after serving as valet
in the Civil war to Confederate Off
GER, In a petition filed for Mrs. An
derson, it is alleged that the publish
er's real name was William A. Ander-

light complexion, and that he deserted
Mrs. Anderson 30 years ago. The wom-
an lays claim to the estate of the late
publisher. 1t was estimated first at
100000 but as much of it was valuable
to Lees business alone, the present esti-
mate is $4,000. Mrs. Anderson makes
the identifeations by means of news

tempt at suicide yesterday, Herbert l.,
Rowe, shoeworker, broke away from
his rescuers, ran out onto the Boston
& Maine railroad bridge and ended
his life by jumping into the Merrimack
river.
Rowe made his first attempt at the
Newburyport station before the eyes of
many persons waiting for the train.
James Nolan and Frank Morrison were
nearest him when he jumped onto the
track and they pulled him back onto
the platform when the engine was but
few feet away.
Rowe fought desperately with his cap
tors and finally succeeded in breaking
away. He ran down the railroad track
and was followed by number of men,
but he outdistanced them TO the bridge
and jumped before anyone could catch
him.
Rowe was 80 years of age, single, and
recently came here from Lewiston, Me.

BRITAIN MAKING MILITANTS.
Foolish Policies of Government Respon
sible, Says Mrs. Gait.

New York, Aug. 20.-Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president OF the Inter
national Suffrage Alliance, returned on
Monday from a three months stay in
Europe, during which she presided over
the international convention at Buda-
pest. She is not especially interested
in Mrs. Pankhursts projected visit to
this country.
II certainly should not entertain Mrs.
Pankhurst. though nobody who is fla
milisr with suffrage matters questions
her motives" said Mrs. Gait. "But
do not agree with her policy. | think
it has injured the cause in England and
here, not among suffragists, of course,
but among the masses. People have a
natural aversion for bombs. And the
spectacular things the militants have
done have given them undue impor-
lance as far as the solid work Of the
movement is concerned. Paying a shil
ling makes YOU a militant for life, but
there are 100000 women paying annual
dues in non-militant organizations.
"The non-militant organization that
interested me most was the Tax Re-
sistance league, which has an enormous
influence in England just now. went
to the sale Of the duchess of Bedford's
curios, on which she had refused to
pay taxes. A member of the league
made speech along the lines of no
taxation without representation which
had a familiar Fourth of July sound. 1t
was expressly stated that this was the
duchess manner of protesting against
militancy, though fancy we should
have considered it rather militant here.
1t is not through their castle burning
and bomb throwing that the militants
have helped suffrage in England, but
through the utterly ridiculous things
that the government has done in trying
to punish them. These utterly sense
less policies have driven many people
into the ranks of the militants who
would never have gone there"

letters to Chief of Police Roberts and
County Prosecutor Harry Neafie, he has
gone into hiding.
Thompson was found not more than
100 yards from the Little White
House, once the summer home of Wood
row Wilson when he was governor.
Three bullet wounds were in the mans
head and a revolver was in his hands,
But physicians declared the wounds could
not have been self-inhicted.

ceiye a letter signed Investigator" in
which the hint was conveyed that Mrs.
MeGlew had some knowledge of the case.
Her father was indignant and said he
was sure the letter writer was the evan
gelist.
