Home in West End.

Had Been Closely Watched
But Eludes Relatives on
Saturday Evening.

Mrs. Ben Cable committed suicide at
her home. SS9 Pearl street. about $500
o'clock Saturday evening. After swal-
lowing the drug. she screamed, 'oh.
Ben. have taken carbolic acid.
Members of the family rushed to the
frantic woman's aid and physicians
were summoned, but their efforts were
fruitless.
For the past five years. there has
been a gradual decline in the health OF
the unfortunate woman, and two very
serious operations during recent
months had so weakened her mentally
and physically that constant attend
ance by nurse was necessary. for she
had threatened to take her life several
times of late.
Unconscious Eight Days.
Just three weeks ago she lapsed into
Inconsistencies which continued for
eight days. Saturday she was feeling
better. but in the evening she left her
home, about dusk. and went to a near
by drug store where she purchased
three ounces of carbolic acid. Tear
ing hole In the lining of her jacket.
a pocket was formed in which the
small vial was hidden A short dis
tance from her home she called on
relatives who returned with her to
her home. After a while the relatives
departed. At the time Mr.. Cable was
answering a call at the rear door, hav-
ing just returned from searching the
neighborhood for his wife. Mrs. Cable
made a wild dash up the adjoining
stairway, took the bottle from its hid
ing place and swallowed its contents.
Then she bounded back down the
stairs. several steps at a time. shrek
ing at the top of her voice: "Oh Ben.
have taken carbolic acid" She was
quickly carried to a couch and every
effort made to restore her.
Born in Greenviile, Ohio.
Mrs. Cable was born In Greenviile,
Ohio, and was thirty-one years of age.
Thirteen years ago she was married
to Ben Cable of that place, who is at
present foreman at the Wayne
Works of this city. Two children were
born of this union. a boy, eleven years
and girl, eight years of age.
Inquiry of various druggists in the
lneighborhood developed no recollec-
tion of a sale of carbolic acid other
than for medicinal purposes. Mrs.
Cable was a regular member of the
Friends church at Earlham Chapel and
prior to the first operation was a de-
voted church attendant. ~.

A. E. Evans Collects Initia-
ton Dues for Lions Lodge
and Then Departs.
WAS HERE ? MONTHS
M. E. Rockwell Here to Meet
Men Who Paid Their
Dues to Organizer.

The supreme officers of the Royal
employ are trying to locate A. E.
Evans, a Cincinnati man who. it is
pose of organizing a lodge. and after
collecting initiation fees from num-
ber of citizens, left without completing
the organization or without turning
the money into the supreme treasury.
NJ E. Rockwell, of the Cincinnati
lodge, arrived this morning to straight
en- out the business affairs of the
lodge and complete the organization.
Rockwell, who is stopping at the Grand
Hotel, says that he wants to meet all
the men who paid their initiation fee
to Evans and who hold receipts. These
receipts, he says, will be honored by
the supreme lodge, and the holders
taken into full membership.
Came Here In February.
Evans came to this city February
| 12, and made many friends whom he
enrolled in the lodge and from whom
he collected initiation fees, with the
promise that he would rent hall and
install a lodge. On May 21 he left
the city and has not been heard from
since.
Rockwell states that Evans was one
of the official organizers in Cincinnati,
whose business. it was to enroll mem
bers. 1t is supposed that he came
| from that city to Richmond. Rock
we'll says he does not know just what
the records of the supreme lodge at
Evansville show regarding Evans op-
erations, but states that his alleged
| crookedness was not discovered un-
| til short time ago. Complaints led
! to an investigation, which showed that
| Evans had been enrolling members
and issuing receipts, but had only re-
ported part of his work to the supreme
! officers. and had taken the rest for
| personal uses.
| , Number of Victims Unknown.
| In this way he kept up the appear.
ance of dealing squarely with the
| lodge Rockwell says that he has no
| way of telling how many Richmond
men have been victims of Evans game
but received telegram this morning
! from Chief of Organizers Goldberg
! stating that he would wire a list OF
the members Evans had reported.
| Rockwell hopes to complete the or
ganization with the men who hold re
ceipts from Evans on the charter roll

Clever Woman Crook With
Male Companion Foiled BY
Local Pc.ice-Woman Is
Caught, Man Escapes.

A beautiful young woman, who, ac-
cording to Chief of Police Gormon,
is evidently one of the cleverest
crooks operating following the Wal
lace circus, was arrested Saturday
night after she mad been seen with
a young man acting in a suspicious
manner at Eighth and Main streets.
The man escaped. She forfeited a
bond of $100, which she paid in cash,
then leaving for Toledo Saturday
night The woman gave the name of
Goldie Becker.
The police had been instructed to
arrest persons seen crowdlng or push
ing or using the usual methods of
dips" or pickpockets.
A young man and woman were seen
by Officer Wierhake at Eighth and
Main streets, and he believed that the
pair were planning to pick the pocket
of a man who was entering street
car They got on the car, and the Of
ficer followed. When they saw him
they hastily left the car, getting off
at Tenth and Main streets.
The Man Makes Escape.
From there they walked to Eighth
street, turning to South A. Two Of
ficers then started to shadow them.
and they walked north on South Ninth
street from South A street. When they
were in the shadows, they started to
run. The man disappeared down an al
ley, but the woman kept running to-
ward Main street Although she was too
fleet-footed for the officer in pursuit,
she was headed off by Wierhake and
captured.
"She was the slickest looking arti-
Gle ever inside these walls" said Chief
Gormon. she stated that she was
visiting here and that her home was
in Dayton. She was calm and collected
all the time l was talking to her, and
she assured me that had arrested the
wrong person. She would not tell who

AN OLD PEOPLES
SERVICE IS HELD
Rev. Leonard Talks on the
Various Beauties of
Old Age.

The services held yesterday for the
tian church were we'll attended and
enjoyed. The sermon by the pastor,
Rev. Leonard, was on the beauties of
old age.
"Old age is beautiful when it is op-
timistic," he said. There is no room
for pessimism in this age. We must
all be happy if we would make others
happy. Old age is beautiful when it is
appreciative. Old age is beautiful when
it is useful. Too many old people i'm
agine that when they grow old they
are of no further use to humanity. AS
few illustrations of useful old peo-
pie let me call attention to Dryden,
who translated Virgil" when he was
ninety years old, also Gladstone, who
gave the world some of his greatest
productions when he was more than
eighty, and old Dr. Rich of New York.
who wrote a treatise on Physiology
and Hygiene when he was ninety-four
years old. These men were happy be-
cause they were busy. Old age is beau
/ tiful when it is patient, sweet, Iowa
BILE and kind. Experience of old faith
ers and mothers has softened their
lives and sweetened their usefulness.
Old age is the mediative age, then a
man thinks of his experience through
life and also looks forward to eternity.
This makes the lives of the old more
beautiful
The sermon was cut short in order
that the assembly might listen to some
reminiscent talks by the older per-
sons, which were very interesting. To
carry out the idea of an old peoples
service, the old-fashioned songs were
sung in the old-fashioned way. with
out accompaniment, some of the old
folks leading in the singing White ros-
es were pinned on every person over
sixty years of age. About fifty were
given out. The basket of flowers to
/ the oldest woman went to Mrs Laze-
mia Nixon, -, and the flowers for the
Oldest man were given to Richard
Freeman.

Three Year Old Child Found
Suffering at the Murder
Home" Ends Her Suffer
ing Sunday Noon.

Unattended by anyone save her
nurse. pretty little Dorothy Day
ton, three-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Dayton-Maupin, died at the Reid Me-
mortal hospital Sunday noon. Her sick
ness was contracted by the unsanitary
conditions prevalent at the home, 1106
North | street. Her illness became so
critical there, because of the neglect
of her mother, that when she was ta-
ken to the hospital, following an in
vestigation by the police. her ultimate
recovery was considered doubtful. The
child's father was murdered and his
alleged slayer, Joseph Snyder, has
never been found.
After Dorothy had been at the hos
pital few days, she gradually began
TO decline.
While she was i'll at the hospital her
mother did not see her or inquire for
her.
Died Friendless Wait.
She was visited only by the nurse,

her aunt. who is employed in the laun-
dry at the hospital. She died practical

Her funeral was even more pitiful
than her death, if that could be. The
body was taken to the undertaking es-
tablishment of Jordan, McManus and

that the larger American warships
can not enter the Mexican harbors,
because of their large draught, prompt
