Mrs. Jones, having implicit conf
dence In her husband, obeyed him.
And this brings us to the last scene
of the drama.
Scene: The House of Lords in au-
tumn session: Occasion: The vote
upon the enactment of the tramps'
feeding act. If this measure is re-.
jected, it means a dissolution of Par
lament, with the possibility of the
governments defeat.
Lord Masterton, slumbering peace
fully upon the woolsack, presided
over the deeorous debate. Lord Win
terbury was upon his feet, urging the
rejection Of the measure
CAS- was saying, and as repeat,
my lord, he said, addressing the un-
conscious form upon the woolsack,
this act means ruin to our farmer,
destruction to our industries, and the
degradation of our country from
first-class power to poverty-strick-
en- waste. +"
"Sit down." exclaimed strident
voice, from the woolsack.
The lord chancellor, hearing these
words, issued apparently from his
own lips, opened his eyes and gazed
upon the startled lords.
II beg your pardon, my lord" re-
piled the lord chancellor blandly and
turned little in his seat to ease his
position. And then, to his horror,
voice whispered in his ear.
Keep quiet, as you value your rep
utation. My name is Jones. l want
to marry your ward. May II"
The lord chancellor sprang to his
feet, and instantly the debate ceased
automatically. The leader of the OPP
position came hurrying up, anxiety
upon his face.
Your lordship is not feeling well
today" he asked solicitously.
ooh, very well, " replied Lord Mas
farfNn ;pl hooly ond tho dahafa
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-03-29

he Kissed, shaking his fist after the
retreating figure.
The lord chancellor was so upset
by this incident that he cut short his
visit. The return journey to London
is, as all know, a very tedious one.
At Chester, just when the old gentle
man had fallen into doze, the guard
entered the compartment in which
he sat alone
Tickets, please!' demanded that
functionary.
''Eh?" stammered the lord chan
cellor. 'Why, l handed in my ticket
at-Durham.''
None of that taIk.' replied the
guard roughly. You'll pay or get
off the train
why, you, fellow. do you know
who l am? I am Lord Masterton~
cried the old gentleman Indignantly.
'You don't say" answered the
guard. We'll, my names Jones. l
want to marry your ward. Come, lord,
excuse my little trick and tell me
JuOI Why Sou L. We iONC CdSh OIuCt,
and"
"Help!" yelled the lord chancellor,
pulling the bell which communicated
with the engine drivers cab. The
train slowed down, but before the
frightened trainmen could learn the
cause of this summons, Mr.. Jones, his
hat and coat slowed away in his suit
case, was seated in his own compart-
ment, typical tourist, reading the
Daily Mail.
On arriving at his destination, Lord
Masterton sent telegram to his
ward, summoning her to his house.
On her arrival he cross-questioned
her with some shrewdness and, dis
covering everything except the mar
riage, he promptly packed her off to
a finishing school in Paris.
The lord chancellor's word is law,

ALLEGED SLAYER
OF 4 TO HEAR FATE
States Case Nearly Complete
in QuadrupIe
Murder.

QUINCY, ILL.,, April BY the time
Ray Pfanschmidt probably will know
every detail of the evidence which
the State has in it's possession tend
ing to establish his guilt of the muir
der of his parents, sister and house
guest. The State expected to rest its
case with today's evidence. For nine
full court days State witnesses have
given bits of circumstantial evidence,
which the prosecution will insist in
its final appeal to the jury is suf-
death penalty.
Today's session was taken up prin-
cipally with the attempt to establish
the motive for the quadruple murder.
The cashier of a local bank testified
that he had repeatedly sent letters
to Ray demonstrating with the youth
for overdrawing accounts, and that
his last letter was sent so that it
came into Rays hands the day Of
the murder. This letter in emphatic
terms said Rays affairs at the bank
must be given immediate attention.
This testimony, together with the
testimony already introduced of the
young mans Indebtedness on dyna-
hitting contract and his desire to
marry Esther Reeder, dis the evidence
which the State insists establishes
motive for the murder of all who
stood in the way of Pfanschmidts
coming into possession of the Plan
schmidt estate.
The testimony which so far makes
the States circumstantial case has
centred about the buggy tracks and
hoof imprints in the Pfanschmidt
barnyard, made after rain on the
Saturday night when the house was
found ablaze, Strange" gasoline
found in the ruins, tallying closely
with a can missing from the prem
ises where Ray Pfanschmidt had a
camp; the khaki suit found on the
same premises. bearing Rays high
school classpin and spotted with what
experts have testified is human blood:
Rays failure to show any grief or
attempt to trace the murderer, and
the scent of bloodhounds from the
Pfanschmidt farm toiRays camp.
The nature of the crime itself and
the prominence of the Pfanschmidt
family make the case of unusual in
terest. There have been additional
features which made it even more
appealing to the great crowds which
have filled the courtroom. The 10y
atty of Rays fiancee and his attempt
to charge his old rival in love and
| several Adams county farmers with
the crime have added details which
make the local public await with in
terest the course which the defense
will pursue in establishing the inno-
cence of the youth, which his attor-
neys and many of his relatives stoutly
maintain.

POPE'S CONDITION IS
SAID TO Be IMPROVING
Continued from First rageo

ago, issued orders today for special
PRAYERS for the Pope in all the
churches of Rome during the next
three days.
Pope Rus dozed for short time
this afternoon. When he was awake
he appeared to feel too weak to take
much notice of those around him.
He smiled, however when he was
visited by his sisters and his niece,
who sat quietly in the room for some
time without disturbing him.
The temperature Of the Pope rose
slightly at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
reaching 80 degrees.
While official reports state that the
anticipation in the condition of the
Pope continues, 1t is reported in other
quarters that the pontiff is suffering
from difficulty of respiration, thirst
and prostration.
Everything is being prepared at the
vatican to give the Pope long period
of rest. All pilgrimages have been sus-
pended during this month and the
American pilgrimage which left New
York ON April under the direction
of the Rev. Joseph Schrembs, bishop
of Toledo, will not be received by his
holiness.
Several cardinals, including Ram
polla, Wives y Tuto, de Lai. Martin
ELI, Falconio, Bisleti and Agliardi,
called personally at the Vatican this
morning to inquire about the Pope
health. They were not allowed to
see the patient.
The callers We're informed by Cardi-
nal Merry del Val that an improve
ment had taken place in the Pope's
condition and that there was no real
cause for alarm.
The official Vatican newspaper, the
Osservatore Romano, says in it's eve
ming edition today:
1--WE are glad to be able to give the
assurance that after his relapse on
Monday evening the condition of the
Pope is constantly and notably
ameliorating.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
AGAIN IN CAUCUS
Will Hold Secret Sessions Daily
Until Their Work Is
Done.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-House
Democrats caucused again today on
the tariff bill after the majority of
the ways and means committee had
met to formulate tariff program for
submission. The House itself had ad-
iourned until tomorrow to give full
day for the majority to map out the
lines for the work ahead.
The caucus will be succeeded by
others. one each day for several days,
and all will be secret. W
A fight. backed with the moral sup
port of President Wilson for an open
caucus. was lost last night.
To an extent the House may be in
fluenced by the Senate on the ques-
ton of dividing the bill for passage
into schedules. Some Democratic
senators favor this, SO that separate
votes may be had on the sugar and
wool propositions. 1t is believed that
President Wilson still is open to con-
viction on the point, though he is
thought to incline toward Chairman
Underwood's idea of a single bill.
Some Democratic senators believe
the effect of a schedule by schedule
revision already has been lost by thu
| introduction of the bill as a whole
Another proposal was to group the
schedules and divide the bill into fou,

Some of these questions the caucus

DEFENDANT IN DIVORCE
CASE FAILS TO APPEAR
Husband, However, Will Again
Be Served With Notice.

Dexter Ball, of Essex Fells, was to
have appeared a defendant in a di-
vorce suit today, but a little thing
like that doesn't bother Dexter, it
seems. His wife's attorney Henry
M. Reeves, told Vice Chancellor
Stevens that Ball said he wanted the
court to go ahead and do it's worst,
and as he thought that was a suf-
ficient indication of contempt of
court he wanted the vice-chancellor
to take contempt proceedings against
Ball.
Ball was not represented by coun-
sci at this hearing, although he was
at a former one. The vice. chancel-
lof held that he had not been prop
erly served with notice, however, and
said he was sorry he could not act
against him. So the case was put
off until Mr.. Ball is notified with a
proper consideration of time.
Mrs. Louise M. Ball, who lived
with her husband in Essex Fells
from the date of their marriage.
April 8, 1898, until they separated
last June, brought suit on grounds
of desertion. He left her, she said,
after she had returned TO him a
house he had decided to her, and
which he later leased, compelling her
to move out.

SAYS Upton BOAT
SHOULD Be LUCKY
1t Will Sail in Thirteenth Cup
Race and Be Fourth
Shamrock.

LONDON. April 9.-"The luck Will
all be With us this time. The chal-
lenger is the four-leaved Shamrock,
while the New York Yacht Club will
be defending the Americas Cup for
the thirteenth time" said Charles E.
Nicholson today. q
Nicholson is to design the Upton
boat, which will seek to win back for
the British the Americas Cup.
This will not be Nicholson's first
connection with the contests for the
to dock the original America when she
was under repair.
Nicholson added today:
81 wish to correct the unfortunate
impression prevailing in the United
States that 1 am afraid of a ninety
foot yacht. I believe I could build
one which would cross the Atlantic
ocean safely. But a seventy five
footer, which under present condi-
lions is as large and expensive as
the ninety-footer of twenty years ago,
is the boat which prudence and reason
dictate.
"I have the greatest admiration for
the genius and cleverness of Ameri-
can designers. These, coupled with
the fact that all the conditions are
in favor of the defender, make the
task of designing a challenging yacht
one of the keenest interest, calling for
every ounce of ability that l may
possess
Il hope Gardner, as well as Her
reshoff, will be given a chance to
design the defender. If so the pre-
| lirninary races will be almost as in
/ teresting as the final cup contest.
II have already erected a shed at
the Gosport yards for the challenger
and have her plans we'll under way.
| I expect to launch her in April, 1914.
1 hope in case the Americas Cup re-
| turns to the British Isles that the re-
/ suit will be the formation of a code
] governing all international yacht
racing"

HUMAN BONES IN
COURT AS PROOF
Erie Answers $4,000 Suit
With a Demonstration to
Refute Allegations.

Judge Adamss bench in the SUI
preme Court today resembled the an
atomical laboratory of hospital far
more than it did a bar of justice,
Uttered as it was with fragments of
human bones and articulated parts
of the skeleton of a man.
The bones were evidence introduced
by the Erie Railroad Company as
exhibits in the suit of Joel Dickerson.
who is seeking to recover $4,000 dam
ages from the railroad company for
injuries sustained in an accident at
Howell, N. Y, on July 81. 1909. An
automobile in which he was riding
was hit by a train and demolished
Mr.. Dickerson jumped when he saw
the collision was inevitable, his wife
with him. He threw her clear of the
wreckage, but his left leg was caught
in the automobile and bones In the
upper part of the lower leg fractured.
Mr.. Dickerson contends that the
knee cap was also injured and II was
TO dispute this that Chauncey Parker,
representing the railroad company.
caused the pieces of bone to be pro.
duced in court.
DR. Walter S. Washington, called as
an expert by the company, gave a
demonstration before the jury, and
using the bones of the skeleton as
subjects demonstrated that in his
opinion it would not have been oossi-
BILE for Mr.. Dickerson to receive the
injuries to the knee joint he alleges
unless the bones had been completely
smashed. This, he explained, was not
true in the case of Mr.. Dickerson
The case will go to the jury late this
afternoon.

After a talk with the President this
morning, Congressman James A.
Hamill, of New Jersey, said he be-
lieved the chances We're very bright
for the enactment this year of a
pension of retirement law for civil
service employees. Hamill has been
active for several years in urging
civil service pensions.
At a convention here a few days
ago representatives of civil service
employees in every part of the coun-
try decided to ask Congress for a
pension to be paid by the government
without contributions from en-
ployees. The Jersey member will
father the bill or bills urged by the
employees.
Accompanied by M. #. O'Donoghue,
of New York, Congressman Hamill
saw the President today and asked
him to express his views as to the
form this pension legislation should
take. Mr. Wilson told the two men
that his mind was entirely open on
the question, but that he would give
it consideration and talk with them
again on the matter. III. b. W.
