Announcement was made yesterday
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will on and after September j,
discontinue free store-door delivery III
freight in Washington and Baltimore.
These two cities are the only two in
the country enjoying free delivery at
the present time. The reason started
by the railroad company for its pro-
posed action is that the condition
! which at one time justified the prlvl-
lege no longer exists, and the prac-
| tice should be abandoned.

The body of a well-dressed young
woman was found by a farmer Fri
day in an upright position to
a fence post beside a cornfeld. The
fence was only a few yards from the
county highway near Oak Forest, III.
The woman was not more than 25
years old. Her gold watch was still
pinned to the breast of her dress ana
pocketbook lay near her. Pkysici-
ans think the woman may have been
dead two days. No means of identif-
cation were among the effects found
She was supported by strip of cloth
evidently torn from her dress, and
tied around her neck and to the post.
1t is thought unlikely that the wo-
man committed suicide.

STATE PRESIDENT RESIGNS.

The Afro.-American Womens State
Federation received q shock last Fri
day afternoon, when, at the close of
the Executive Board meeting at Min
neapolis, Mrs. w. T. Francis, State
President, rendered her resignation
and announced her intention to re-
linQuish the office. Mrs. Francis has
rendered excellent service to the Or
ganization and as its President has
been an indefatigable worker and lost
no opportunity to place the Fedora
ton in contact with the progressive
influence Of the State. The Fedora
ton has sustained o severe loss in
the resignation Of Mrs. Francis as its
head, and the members Of the Execu-
tive Board showed appreciation OF
that fact by spending an hour in an
EFFORT to find some way through per-
suasion to bring pressure enough to
bear upon the President to induce a
withdrawal of the resignation. The
reason given by Mrs. Francis was that
her health would not permit her to
hold the office longer.
