Mystery In Case Of
 HaWleyviIIe Woman
Neighbors Discover Her Uncon- sciOJIs, From Loss Of Blood With Wrist Almost
 Severed

Haw1eyvilIe, Aug. 1S-Mrs William Jillson residing on the outskirts was found early Friday morning on the floor of her room in a pool of blood and unconscious by Dr. w. H. Rier- nan of Sandy Hook, who rushed in his auto to the call as soon as received. A broken flower jar was nearby and TO ether evidence was visible as to the cause of the accident. Every ar 1ery and vein in the wrist had been cleanly cut, and no ragged edges show ed.
 She had been discovered by the eighbols, one of whom was holding her wrist with both hands, acting as sutures.
 Ths doctor hastily applied temper ary surgical expedients and rushed his patient 9o the Danbury hospital en her. Up to this writing she had not rec ov cred consciousness sufficient to give a statement as to how her in- jury was caused, or is unwilling to dc so Her wrist was found to be all most severed and the hospital staff scout the idea of the broken flower pot as the cause.
 Mrs. JiIlGon is about 45 years old, but is not living with her husband at pres ent who, it is understood, applied for 8 divorce following a sensational suit about two years ago for $10,OG0 dam ages SE dI1St JOan 6IefCe 1Or di1eI1d- ton of his wife's affections. She af- terwards kept boarders and among tfose was the defendant, Pierce. The latter was among the 'neighbors pres ent when the physician arrived but he could give no explanation of the cause of the accident other than the one of the broken flower pot, though if is said she is a somnambu1ist.
 AS the patient was a woman of TO- bust physique, sthe hospital authorities say she will recover if infection does not set in, or lockjaw intervene.

Of the two houses of congress June q,
1913:
Mr. Speaker, Mr.. President, Gentle
men Of the Congress-It is under the
compulsion of what seems to me
clear and imperative duty that l have
a second time this session sought the
privilege of addressing you In person.
l know, Of course, that the heated sea-
son Of the year is upon us, that work
In these chambers and In the commit
tee rooms is likely to become a burden
as the season lengthens and that every
consideration of personal convenience
and personal comfort, perhaps, In the
cases of some of US, considerations OF
personal health even, dictate an early
conclusion of the deliberations Of the
session But there are occasions OF
public duty when these things which
touch us privately seem very small
when the work to be done is so press
ing and so fraught with big conse-
quence that we know that we are not
at liberty to weigh against It any point
Of personal sacrifice. We are now In
the presence Of such an occasion. II
is absolutely imperative that we should
give the business men Of this country
a banking and currency system by
means of which they can make use Of
the freedom Of enterprise and Of indt-
vidual initiative which we are about
to bestow upon them.

Currency Reform.

AT the Joint session Of the Senate
and the House Monday, shortly al
ter the noon hour President Wilson
read his message on currency re
form. He was given marked alien
ton. Even the extremists who are
inclined to postpone action listened
attentively to his address.
President Wilson wasted no time
or words in his efforts ut convincing
Congress that currency reform leg
islation was an immediate need
which can not and must not be post
poned. He made ii PLAIN That tarIii
reform without currency reform
legislation would give little rellef to
the business interests Of the people,
and to fulfill the promises Of the
Democracy to the Nation the two
bills, the tariff and the currency,
must be enacted into laws by TINS
present Congress sitting in extra
session.
1t may be fair to assume thai
President Wilson's views and sug-
gestions will terminate in the adop-
ton of some currency legislation
that will prove to be stable, safe and
sound, as is for instance the eur
rency systems of France. England

are precipitated in New York with
