The collapse OF the central figure in

Mrs. Appelbaum sat in her rooilly

Memories of Home.
One ray of light on who this mystic
rious being is has been uncovered
through her own lips. Mrs. Appel
baum tells of a girlhood home in Mich
igan. She sketches in brief interrupted
highlights scant memory impressions
tiny bits from the closed chapters of
her life--these peep into what she was.
In this little Michigan home Mrs. APP
pelbaum tells of an aged father-one
who in this greatest crisis in her life
she wishes to save from pain or grief.
She will not tell his name. nor even
the locality in which he lives. Yet
her one cry has been, Don't send him
Word-this will kill him"
Who this venerable old father may
be, where he may live, what misfor-
tune beset his household that so wide
ly separated his family-all these tan
gible points that might unmask Mrs.
Appelbaum-are as yet mute and in
scrutable stumbling blocks in the path
of the investigation into who and what
the woman may be
Until she shows other fear than that
of exposure, if she fears exposure, the
woman's incognito will probably re-
main an impenetrable problem.

A Dream Shattered.

While Appebaum lived in Chicago it
is said that there he met a pretty Sag
NAV, Mich, girl. This cultured, clever
miss soon fell under the spell of the
Don Juan. He told her of a pretty home
he planned to make for just himself and
the girl. He told her of his undying
affection-of his desire to take her into
his arms and hide from the world. The
little maid trusted not wisely, but too
well.

pelbaum even after he had taken unto
himself d mate and had lived for some
months in Charlotte-his home town
and Atlanta.
The little Michigan girls dream is
shattered. Hiding her identity under
the pretty pseudonym, "Girlie," she may
never know the tragic outcome Of her
heart affair until some day the wind
that scatters gossip like chaff before
the western gale may bring to her the
story-and break her heart
Then there are tales of other girls
all lured beyond the sense of rea-
soning power by this Lothario, the man
who met death when he, it is alleged,
dragged one woman just trifie too
far over the brink of green-eyed rage
and found death clutching him at her

Ways captiyaJed her beyond power to
resist. There was a nasty marriage
and a night train bore the pair into
Salt Lake City, where for a while they
seemed happy enough.
soon Appelbaum tired of the little
woman with the apple bloom cheeks
and sought the company of more inter-
esting but less wholesome persons of
Chicago's seamy night circle. A few
years later-in 190S--they parted.
While in the city by the lake, APP
pelbaum met and, it is reported, mar
ried a girl who lived in LAGRANGE, a
few miles out of Chicago. His matri-
monial tangle with this girl wound up
less than two weeks ago in Kansas City,
where the wife secured a divorce and
was granted a weekly alimony allow

Gov. Paynter of Missouri calling
their attention to the discovery
made here today,
The 70 lowing was the substance
of the message TO President Wilson
AT the hearing of the Illinois
Senate Vice Investigating commits
sion here today, it appeared that
conditions surrounding the employ
ment of girls at the Springfield fac
tory of the international Shoe COM
pany were the most open to criticism
of any so far discovered by this COM
mission. The revelations were so as
founding that Senator Nels Juul, a
Republican and dean OF our state
senate openly and bitterly de-
nounced this corporation.
CAS- | have been informed that
this corporation is supporting a
lobby at Washington in opposition
to your proposed tariff laws, that il
certain duties are removed the girls
working in their shoe factories will
be brought into competition with
the cheap labor of Europe, | believe
your attention should be called to
the testimony given here today.
To Lieut.. Gov. Paynter of Mis-
souri,, 0'Hara sent the following:
At a meeting Of the Illinois Sena-
torial Vice Investigating committee
today it was discovered that girls
employed in the Springfield factory
of the International Shoe company

trial conditions that. have yet come
before this commission. Mr.. Derby.

branch stated under oath that the
International Shoe company was q
$12,000,0o0 corporation and that
it's executive officers are residents
of Missouri.
On behalf of Senators Juul, Pos.
sey and Beal as well as myself con
stituting the fun membership of
our commission | respectfully invite
the cooperation OF your Missouri
Senatorial Vice Investigating com
mittee to make a fair and complete
investigation of the methods OF this
corporation"
Secretary of State Wood this
afternoon added the following signed
statement re ative to the work OF
the commission:
Investigation of the white
fslavery traffic may lead to startling
discoveries provided they search 10
! the truth regardless who is hit when
the light is turned on.
81 believe the real beneficiaries arc
! the owners of land upon which the
buildings rest in which the white

Gypsies Abandon Camps.
An abandoned camp in Hubbard
Woods, which had been tenanted by
Romantics, was the chief object Of
interest. A policeman from thar
suburb telephoned to Detective Ser
geant Freeman Steele of Central
Station that the nomads apparently
had fed, leaving behind three
horses.
II was reported they had passed
through Highland park. supposedly
on their way to Waukegan. The

BEEN FREQUENTLY AIDED
Nation and State Have Literally
Contributed in Fight Against
Relentless River.

Not only has National but State
] aid in the building and repairing of
levees been freely supplied in Mis-
sissippi, but now special meeting
of the Mississippi legislature will
be called for the purpose of grant
ing authority to the state levee
board to issue bonds for $1,000, ,000
or more and also p2ss bin author
izing an increase in taxation, II
necessary to strengthen leyees in
the Greenyille district.
The State of Illinois is rich and
need not issue bonds for the pur-
pose of protecting eminent domain
hereabouts threatened annually by
high waters, but it can appropriate
the money from its treasury, II it so
wills.
The following under date Of April
"a from Greenvil'e, Miss, appeared
Friday in the Memphis Commercial
Appeal relative to the above:
"The Board Of Mississippi
Levee Commissioners met at II
o'clock today, pursuant to a call
of the president, for the pur-
pose of discussing the financial
condition OF the board and to
request the governor to call an
extra session of the Legislature
to pass a bill authorizing the
board to issue bonds to the
amount of S1.000,000 or more
and also a bill authorizing an
increase OF taxation If neces-
sary
"The meeting was attended
by a number of tar payers from
over the district, including sew
eral members of the Legislature,
and other tax payers unable to
come, communicated witr the
board by letter or phone. The
tax payers heard from here
unanimously desired the Legis-
iature convened, and according
ly the board by unanimous vote
requested the governor torcall
the hegislature together in ex-
traardinaFy session for the pur-
pose of enacting such legisla-
tion as may be deemed neces-
sary to put the levee board in
funds to do such levee work as
may be essentially required by
conditions after the water goes
down
1.-The last two high water
fights have cost this district,
including the amount expended
by the Mississippi River Com
mission, approximate ST.
100000. Most of this money
has been expended north of
Greenyille. This portion of the
leyee can be brought up to
comparatively safe grade by the
expenditure of about $3.50, 600.
The commission will do part
Of this work, leaving possibly
s250,000 to be done by the
board.
There is strong demand
