LEAVES TWO WIDOWS
AND~ONE FIANCEE
Chicago Man, the Police Suspect, May
Have Had Three More
wives"

Chicago, May 20.--At least two wild
ows and fiancee are mourning the
death of Homer II. Morrison, real estate
dealer, and the police are working on
oicws which may lead them to three
other women who can claim the man as
their late husband.
Morrison died last Thursday of what
may have been poisoning. Two of his
wives have complained that he took
$4,000 of their money, and widow who
seys he promised to marry her admits
she gave him 81 800.
Mrs. Homer Morrison says she mar
red Morrison three years ago. Mrs. r.,
w. Thompson says she married the
same man under the name of Thompson
seven years ago Mrs. Pearl McDvitt
asserts Morrison promised to marry her
next month.
These three women lived on the same
car line without knowing the existence
OF each other. Some times Morrison
visited all three the same day.
Under the name of Thompson the man
posed as claim adjuster, burt for seven
years kept Mrs. Thompson in the dark
regarding his place of business. To Mrs.
Thompson he was real estate dealer,
hut she never knew where his Office was.
by day he was manager of a rooming
house on Chicago avenue where he was
never seen at night.

Large Mass of Matter Be-
fore the Senate Sub
committee
SOON TO THE FULL
COMMITTEE
1t Is Said That Many
Items May Be
Changed

Washington, May 29-Nembers Of
the Senate finance subcommittee met
behind closed doors yesterday anc
plunged into the mass of briefs and ties.
timony relating to the Underwood tariff
schedules, preparatory to making THEN
reports to the entire committee some
time next week. Many items, some
senators have declared, probably will
be changed. While the subcommittee
were at work, Senator Simmons, chair
man OF the finance committee, sought
counsel with Secretary Bryan and John
Bassett Moore, counsellor of the state
department, regarding foreign protests
against administrative features OF the
Underwood bill. The committee is con-
sidering eliminating the clause which
would extend a. five per cent. tariff dis
count on imports in American owned or
controlled ships. Many nations have
protested that it is violation of treaty
rights.
Congress in all probability will yield
to the protests for the eight nations
against the provision.
Administration leaders have admitted
that the provisions can be eliminated
without any harm and it is evident that
Congress has no desire to insist on any
legislation that will be embarrassing to
tcreign nations or interfere with treaty
obligations.
president Wilson does not object to-
the elimination clause, Il is said. Action
On the matter will be recommended by
the Senate finance subcommittee. The
will also seek to modify
the clause which compels foreign mer-
chants to submit their books to an
American agent in cases of disputed
valuations, providing penalty that goods
be excluded from entry
Germany, France and England have
made strong objections against these
'eatures as well as other nations.

How Much Are the Girls in Our City
Going to Spend for Graduation
Clothes This Year?

The following is taken from the June
Woman's Home Companions:
"The familiar problem of the cost Of
the graduating dress and its accessories
is upon us with its annual insistence.
There has been long hard fight that
is yet far from won to bring home the
necessity for common sense. This is
because those who most need protec-
tion are among the most strenuous adj
vocates of the snowy and expensive
graduation.
"A year ago we published an illumi-
mating symposium on the subject. Es-
pecialu notable was communication
from a school teacher who frankly main
tanned she would bitterly oppose an ef
fort to prevent her from giving sis
ter about to graduate the most beautiful
and costly gown that any sacrifice could
provide for her. Then came the pathetic
reason: in her own case and that Of the
sister there was no hope of marriage.
The graduation meant to them all that
welding ceremony means to most
woman--more perhaps, for it was the
one fine and splendid reality in a future
that promised only a drab monotone.
"There was no escaping the pathetic
force Of the letter. Nor is it difficult
to understand how a mother who for
years has toiled increasingly and gone
without pressing necessities to give her
daughter an education should be eager
to make great final sacrifice to Lave
before her the visible evidence of accom-
plishment To see her daughter wearing
20 beautiful gown, carrying such love-
" flowers, may seem to her sufficient
reward for years of self-denial
This is the finer, sentimental side
If the problem. But it is a view that
more sympathy than respect.
For one thing, these self sacrificing moth
RS and sisters. if they did but realize
t, place greater stress upon the symbol
han upon the thing itself The signi
icance of graduation is not lepresentcd
" the costumes OF the graduates, at
east it should not be. any more than
he beauty of gown is always repre-
ented by its cost.
while it may hurt the fine feelings
f the few, it seems certain that only
God can come from placing limit upon
he Gosh Of graduating gowns. Perhaps
he best plan is that under eonsidera
ion in Hamilton county, o., which in
ludes Cincinnati, where it has been
roposed to limit the cost Of materials
or graduating gowns to three dollars"

A Fine, New Position Created for New
Senator From Illinois.

Washington. May 20 Senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois was yester-
day elected Democratic floor manager
and assistant to Majority Leader Kern
by the Senate Democratic caucus. Sem
ator Lewis position is new one to
the Senate and corresponds to the whip
in the British House OF Commons. The
caucus adopted resolution urging all
Democratic senators to remain in Wash
ington, and went on record as opposed
to any long trips to Europe, such as sew
eral senators had planned until the tar
iff bill has been disposed of. Because
of their slender majority. plans were dis
cussed for keeping members in line and
getting them to the Senate for impor-
tant votes. The caucus also named
committee to confer with a committee
from the House and members of the ma
tional Democratic committee regarding
reorganization of the congressional cam
paign committee. Senators Gore, Cham
berlain, Shively, Newlands and Thomas

when a Mother Should Watch Her
Daughter

In the June Woman,s Home Compan-
ion appears most interesting article
entitled "The Mothers Part"-an ar
tiele full Of practical suggestions, an
extract from which follows:
In the years from ten TO fifteen a
mothers watchfulness over her daugh-
ter's health should be though
as far as possible not evident. At this
time girl is maturing a system OF her
being which is OF the utmost import
anee in her whole life, as we'll as in
the scheme OF creation. 1t is system
making tremendous demands upon her
vitality. She is developing organs
whose perfecting is necessary not only
to her life a. d complete woman but to
her health and her nervous balance.
This system must be developed at this
time or never. No amount of suisse
duent care or regret can obtain for the
young woman the birthright which her
mother should have insured for her when
she herself was IN ignorance OF its inn
portance and how to gain it.
To mature these important organs,
TO meet the demands OF the nerves dur
ing this time, young woman needs all
her blood and vitality. Ii the demands
OF other systems claim girls nutri-
ton and vital power at the time nature
has set for the growth of the organs
of her sex, she is forever
a stunted woman who can meet only
az heavy cost the demands life makes
Df women.
Most mothers understand that a ma
turing girl must not be overworked
The average American girl
Toes not do any more physical work

PRESERVING EGGS
Next to Cold Storage Water Glass Is the
Best Keeper.

| There are just two methods of stor
! ing eggs for future use that are worth
considering. The first of these IL tc
place them in cold storage plant nm
! til needed The other is to Keep them by
the use of water glass, or silicate OF
soda This last is most convenient, and
for the family costs less.
Eggs kept in solution of water glass
for eight months are practically as good
for every kitchen purpose as fresh eggs,
except for the purpose of boiling. To
be boiled successfully small hole should
be made with needle in the large end
of each egg. which otherwise will
burst the she'll.
Water glass is not preservative.
The eggs keep, in it by reason of being
Theoretically sealed in their shells. The
eggs to be kept should be perfectly
fresh. and clean. II is better that the
eggs be infertile, though this is not nec-
essary
Another requisite is that the recep-
tacle in which the eggs are placed be of
stone earthen ware or wood and not of
metal. which might rust and discolor
the eggs and that ii be perfectly clean.
The eggs may be stored all at one time
or as gathered from day to day.
Water glass may be bought at any
drug store at from 80 cents to 81 per
gallon We buy it in tins containing
about quart and costing fifteen cents
each. These tins will preserve fifteen
or sixteen dozen eggs of ordinary size.
Each quart of the fluid should be di
luted with eleven quarts Of water, boiled
30 minutes and allowed to cool before
mixing. After mixing. pour into the re-
ceptacle which yon have prepared. The
eggs are now placed in the water glass
with the little end down. The fluid
should come three inches over the eggs
when all are in the receptacle Form

Now Is the Time to Store
Eggs, and Here Is the
Way to Do 1t
SIMPLE WAYS TO
REMOVE STAINS
Little Hints Of Various
Kinds That Help in
Work Of Home

During the spring and summer month
save the eggshells. Put them into |
-four sack. and save them for the hen
next winter. You will find them bene
fetal.
Anyone who is troubled in getting
black lead to stay on the stove should
add little white sugar to the pasts
before putting it on the stove, ther
proceed as usual. A few drops OF vine
gar will also help.
To prevent odor from lamps soak new
lamp wicks thoroughly in vinegar, then
allow them to become perfectly dry be-
fore using, and they will never have an
odor when the lamp is turned low or
] blown out.
II is not generally known that the
leaves of a geranium are an excellent
application for cuts when the skin is
rubbed off and other wounds of that
kind, One or two leaves must be bruised
and applied to the part and the wound
will be cicatrized in short time.
To make furniture cream, shred finely
two ounces of beeswa,. and one-half an
ounce of white wax into one-half pint
OF turpentine; set in warm place till
