MASTER Mind PRIZES
Essays by Washington Herald Readers
Are Coming in in Large
Numbers.
THE RULES TO BE FOLLOWED

Every mail is now bringing into The
Washington Herald office essays from its
readers who have entered The Master
Mind so prize contest. The point is,
did Lucene Blount do right or wrong in
concealing from her husband her past
life? Lucene is the heroine of the thrill
ing play which is coming to the Colum-
bia Theater next week. and. under the
influence of the master mind. so vivid
ly portrayed by Edmund Breese, prob
ably does as nine out of every ten
women would do. In other words:
Suppose you were a girl with a record.
a girl who mad been convicted of a
crime you did not commit. Suppose a
good man, with brilliant prospects, loved
you. and you loved him. Suppose IL you
married him and your history became
known, his career would be ruined. Sup
pose if you told him of your past you
would run the risk of losing him-if you
were in Lucene's place would you tell
him all?
This is the big question Herald readers
are asked to answer. and for the best
essays received $50 in cash will be given.
Readers need not think it compulsory for
them TO take the position that Lucene
did wrong, and argue from that stand
point merely because, as a general prop
osition. at is wrong to practice deceit.

girls position, imagine yourself sur
rounded by all the mystifying circum-
stances that surround her, then try to
answer the question. And when The

ton from all points Of view, and judge

Mrs. Mamie Taylor Commits Suicide
by Swallowing Carbolic
Acid.
HUSBAND IS GRIEF STRICKEN

Death and its sting. rather than moth
erhood, was the choice last night of Mrs.
Mamie Taylor twenty-nine years old. of
1870 w Street Northwest. She COM
mitted suicide by swallowing four ounces
OF carbolic acid.
Thus closed a pathetic chapter in the
life of Thomas r. Taylor. a metal worker,
whose greatest desire for the past five
years was to become a parent Shortly
aften 10 o'clock Mrs. Taylor went to the
bathroom and swallowed the acid.
Hearing groans, Taylor found his wife
unconscious. An ambulance from Emer-
gency Hospital was summoned. DR.. Will
lam B. Carr answered the call. The
woman was rushed to the hospital. the
broken-hearted husband riding in the
ambulance. Just as the wife was placed
on the operating table she died.
With tears streaming down his cheeks,
Taylor recited to DIR. Carr the story Of
his unhappiness. For fear Taylor might
harm himself he is being closely watched
by friends and relatives.

hospital at Fort Worth, Texas, last
Wednesday afternoon from the effects
Of injuries received by being struck
by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas

Mr.. Campbell was freight con-
ductor and had been in the employ
Of this road about year. His home
was at Bonham, Texas. Last Tues
day he headed in at station by the
name Of Tioga to meet the "Katy"
Limited. He had been riding on the
engine, and on account Of the smoke,
escaping steam and noise Of his en-
gine he was not aware Of the fact
that the approaching train was so
near, and he was just in the act of
sitting down on crosstie when the
train dashed by at a rapid rate, strik-
ing him a deadly blow on the side
and body. One arm was broken and
he was hurt internally. He was car
ried hurriedly to hospital in Fort
Worth, but never regained conscious
ness, and died after suffering intense
ly for 20 hours.
His body was embalmed and ship
ped to Westminster for burial, arriv-
ing here on train No. 12 Sunday, ac-

rer. of the same road. These gentle

ing come to Westminster in 1899 to
assist his cousin, Ed. Campbell, who
was agent here at that time.
Eight years ago he was happily
married, in Atlanta, Ga, to Miss Te-
Goa Parker, formerly of Westminster.
1t was his request that his body be
be brought back to the town of Mrs
CamDbell's childhood days for inter-
ment.
The untimely death of this young
man brought sorrow to many in
Westminster. He possessed kind
genial disposition and stood high in
the estimation Of all who knew him.
He had many friends among the Diff
ferent organizations of railway train
men, with whom he had labored the
past ten or twelve years, and his
death is deeply regretted.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j. j. Payseur, assisted by
Rev. r. l.. Duffie, at the home of A.
