lAWMAKER LEAPS TO
HIS DEATH IN OCEAN
William w. Wedemeyer Of Ann Arbor,
Mich, crazed by Defeat Ends
Life on Panama Ship.

Washington. Jan. 6.-Suffering from
mental arrangement thought to
have been due to his fight for re-
election to congress, Congressman w.
W. Wedemeyer, representative from
Ann Arbor Mich, escaped from an
attendant and ended his life by jump
Ing into the harbor at Colon, accord
ing to dispatches to the war depart
ment. He was aboard the steamer
Panama, which was to have brought
him to the United States. The body
was not recovered. There are many
sharks in the harbor of Colon and
the fate of the Michigan congressman
is fairly certain
Representative Wedemeyer went to
the isthmus with congressional
party to spend the holiday recess in
an inspection Of the canal work. On
the voyage from New York he col
lapsed and was taken first to sani-
tarum in Panama and later was put
in confinement in hospital, where he
became violent and raved about his
defeat in the last election. He devel-
oped suicidal tendency and was
closely watched.
The congressman's close friends say
that a few days before leaving for
the isthmus he fell and struck his
head on an icy sidewalk. 1t was not
regarded as serious and did not deter
him from going with the party.

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last, Experience at
Millinery Store, Was Alto
sether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss Of In
diana did not care much for hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought hat.
i can certainly pick out a better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tiful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
millinery store. but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock. Mrs. Moss looked we'll in
1t. She was pleased
I'll take that" said the Hoosier
congressman. How much is it,"
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even a blink.
Mr.. Moss saw blue stars. but luck
fly had just come from the bank
and was able to produce that much
in cash. Now he let's Mrs. Moss buy
her own hats and he does not COM
plain about their being plain--Judge.

DYNAM|TERS WIN;
BAIL IS ALLOWED
Labor Leaders May Be Released
Pending an Appeal.
HOCKIN is NOT INCLUDED
Bonds Are Fixed at $4,000 for Each
Year Of Sentence Imposed,
Making a Total of
100000.

Chicago, Jan 6.--The United States
circuit court of appeals, sitting in Chi
cago. on Friday decreed that 80 of the
thirty-three dynamiters convicted last
week in Indianapolis might walk out
Of the Leavenworth penitentiary upon
the pledging of $1.070,0OO bail. To OBJ
tain bail in this amount 1t will be nee
essary for those who give bail to
schedule $2.140,000 in real estate. The
release Of the former labor union Of.
ficials was permitted upon a writ Of
supersedeas. They may remain free
pending an appeal on a writ Of error.
Should any of them forfeit his bond
and leave the country. the court ad-
mitted, there Is no way to bring them
back. The offense OF which they were
found guilty-conspiraoy and trans
portation of dynamite-is not extra
ditable
The amount was fixed at the rate
of $4,000 a year for each year to
which the convicted men had been
sentenced, and there is much doubt
expressed as to whether their friends
will be able to furnish the entire
amount In the form Of securities
which the court will accept
Attorneys for the convicted labor
leaders at once took steps to provide
suitable bonds for their clients.
Bonds of the following were fixed
at 100000; J. E. Munsey, Philip A.
Cooley, Michael j. Young, John F. But
Ter, Olaf A. Tveitmoe. Eugene A..
Clancy and Frank c. Webb.
Herbert s. Hockin, former secretary
of the union, was the only one of the
thirty-three men in Leavenworth who
was not included in the writ Of super
sedeas. This man, who has been re.
peatedly referred to as "the Iago OF
the conspiracy" is said to have
played fast and loose not only with
his fellows in the Union, but with
government agents and private detec
tives, to whom he gave both true anG
misleading Information.

COtONEL'S IRE is UP.
Roosevelt Repeats His Criticism Of
the Supreme Court Of Idaho.

the Supreme Court OF Idaho.
Caldw ell, Idaho, Jan. Coming to
the defense OF r. S. Sheridan, c. O..
Broxson and A. B. Cruzen. editors OF
the Boise City Capital-News, who were
sentenced to ten days in jail for con-
tempt, Colonel Roosevelt sent tele-
gram here on Saturday repeating his
bitter denunciation OF the Idaho SUI
preme court. The telegram, which
was addressed to State Chairman Glib
son of the Progressive party, declares
the sentences fare merely proof OF the
necessity Of having the recall of
judges.
He also communicated with Progress
sive senators to see If something
could not be done in the United States
senate with regard to what he terms
the Outrage" The three men Roose-
welt praised are in Jail at Boise for
publishing speech Of the colonel
criticising the state supreme court.
Colonel Roosevelts telegram fol-
lows:
q am confident that l express the
feelings OF every decent American clt!-
zen when l say that am outraged and
indignant beyond measure at the in
fanny that has been perpetrated in
Idaho.
I'm its essence the action Of the
court is in the first place to deny to
a very large minority, possibly plu-
rality, of the voters of Idaho, the right
effectively to express their desire as
to who shall be the chief magistrate
of the nation, and in the second place
to punish those who protest against
this denial OF justice and thereby
seek to intimidate all men who may
herafter desire to protest against SINH
lar outrages.

STREETS OF LONDON
Nearly All Of Them We're Named

Misspellin9, ETC., II 10 impossible

Purport.

London. Those Vho are most IA
miliar with the London streets prob
ably think least about their history.
But the stranger who at rare inter-
walls. or possibly for the first time in
his life, visits the metropolis, must
often speculate as to the origin Of
this or that thoroughfare, or wonder
how some of the curiously named
streets he passes through came by
their names. Since 1t has always
been the custom IN this country to
name the ways Of towns and cities
after somebody or something. one may
be sure that every one of the names
Of London streets once had a special
meaning. though that meaning has so
much lost its point in the course Of
time, or the original spelling has been
so corrupted. that 1t is now in many
cases practically impossible even to
conjecture the original purport OF
the place-names Of the metropolis.
Many London thoroughfores, like
many a country village, probably owe
their names to the existence OF some
hostelry in the immediate neighbor-
hood, and around which. in course of
time. other houses were built. so that
at last a street was formed. Hanging
