Attorney Cole his suspicion that the
family were being poisoned by arsenic.
This resulted in the eXhuming of Will
lis Buffoms body. The autopsy re
vealed that Buffom had died by arsenic
poisoning, and that the poison had
been fed into the system in small
quantities over a period of six weeks.
Suspicion centered about Mrs. Buff

connected her name with that of Ern-

name as Miss Stone. Among the

WOMEN MUST STAND FOR IT
Smoking in Chicago Election Booths
viii Be Permitted.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-When Chicago
women voters go to the polls next
spring they will be compelled to mark
their ballots in a haze of tobacco
smoke. A request that smoking be
prohibited at the polls was made to
the election commissioners by the Po.
litical Equality league. The commits.
sioners informed the women that
there is no law by which smoking
can be prohibited.
Politicians announced that they will
invoke court action in an attempt to
prevent women from acting as judges
and clerks of elections Their oppo-
sition will be based on the Illinois
law, which limits the working day OF
women to ten hours. They say that
election officials are often required
to work eighteen to twenty hours
while ballots are being marked and
counted.

vision of the Mexican federal army in
bankruptcy and with the soldiers
threatening mutiny unless they are
paid every restraint was enforced to
prevent a general rush of the federals
across the river from Ojinaga, Mex,
into the United States territory.
Driven from Chihuahua City, where
they were besieged by rebels, to a
point where communication could be
opened, the army, representing the
strength of the Huerta government in
the North, reached the border with
an empty treasury. The future OF the
army was said to depend upon the ma
ture of responses to urgent demands
for money sent to Mexico City.
General Mercado himself, before
evacuating Chihuahua and thus turn.
ing 1t over to the rebels, gave as one
reason for his act the lack of money
with which to pay his troops. The ap-

the American side soon after the ar
rival of the troops at Ojinaga, and the
fact that General Ynez Salazar and
other officers at once communicated
with Mexico City, caused no surprise
to American army officials.
The United States troops here, re-
inforced by other troops along the
border in preparation for an emer-
gency, were informed of the plans of
the Mexican troops to rush across the
border.
Rebel agents who went into Ojinaga
also reported the need of reprovision-

this could be done at once the troops

ownership of telegraph and telephone
seriously considered by President Will
son.
Conferences between the president
and Postmaster General Burleson have
led to a gathering of information
about the practical working of govern
ment ownership in those nations
where such a system is in operation.
The subject will be discussed at
some length in the postmaster gener-
ais annual report, soon to be made
public, though it is by no means as
sured that he will make any positive
recommendations.
The postmaster general saw the
president for a few minutes and while
they did not discuss the subject, Mr..
Burleson said as he left the White
House that on previous occasions
when he had discussed the question
with the president he had found his
mind open and receptive to informa
ton.

Though bills have been drafted by
members of congress looking to gov
ernment ownership none has been
agreed upon as an administration
measure while the result of Mr.. Bur

There is no doubt" said Mr.. Burle
son, that the Inauguration of the par
Gel post and the postal savings system
has given a tremendous impetus to
the desire of people all over the coun
try to have the government become
the means of communication every
where.
1T is a subject involving two OF

it. Every great nation, except us, has
adopted it.
