Committees Report.

In the favorable report on the Key bill,
made by the committee on pensions of
the House the statement is made that
the soldiers Ut the Spanish war and the
Instruction served in tropic conditions
unusual to American citizens and that
they received no bounty or substitute
money and were not drafted for service.
Not to provide for the dependents of this
attest type of our patriotic citizenship,
while favishly making provisions for the
dependents of those who served in all the
other wars of the republic indicts the
government on Il charge of unjust dis
cTimination."
1900 widows would become beneficiarieS
under the terms of the bill. However. as
the bill strictly provides that the bene-
hciaries must have no means of support
other than their daily labor. the exact
number of pensions which might be
Granted has not been stated.
Present Means of Support.
At present the destitute widows and their
dependents arc cared for in the main
by the United Spanish War Veterans, the
report says. and ut Is inequitable to ask
the men who offered their lives to their
country in war service to make this
additional financial sacrifice, when tho
burden should be carried by the mass Of
the population which did not serve with
the colorS.
Fho pension Office estimates that at the
height of the proposed laws beneficiary
activities between 10000 and 800" wild

that the highest annual cost to the gov

AKRON, o., Sept. 29.-A small scrap OF
paper on which few challenging words
we're scrlbbled Ia the only clue police here
have to the murder of Miss Winnie Bee
ker. a young mission worker, who was
found dying late yesterday afternoon In
tho rear of her brothers tea shop at is
Bertges street. A hatohet was buried In
her skull and she died a few minutes after
reaching a hospital.
The theory OF the police has led them
to search for a religious fanatic. They
believe that the girls work among for
eign- born members Of her mission classes
made her the unfortunate object of
veneeful love. On the note found on the
counter In the tea shop were written
these words:

to latest returns today.
The three regular candidates for the
Democratic. Republican and Progressive

expected. They are:

100000 and a probable majority of $1,000
over John A. Hennessy, tho anti-Murphy
candidate.
Republican-District Attorney Charles

SULZER DEFENDANT
IN $4,000 LAWSUIT
BROUGHT BY WOMAN
Plaintiff Bases Claim on AL
legged Services Through a
Long Period and Hints at
Romance.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-Ex-Governor
William Sulzer is a defendant today in a
suit for $4,000 brought by Mrs. Dorothy
Agan Mason for alleged services rend-
cred over a long period of years. She
has bright red hair. and is known as
THE Queen of the Barges," because she
owned string OF coal and grain barges
and lived on one of them in luxurious
style. Sulzer says she has no claim on
him. and that he had helped her in a
financial way by giving her few dollars
now and then.
The suit recalls the action brought by
Miss Mignon Hopkins, OF Walnut street
near Tenth. Philadelphia, last year
against Sulzer for alleged breach OF
promise.
As proof of her relations with Sulzer
Mrs Mason showed 4 letter which, she
said, was written to Sulzer by Miss Hop
kins. At that time Mrs. Mason owned
a moving-picture theatre in the Bronx.
Sulzer sent for her. Mrs. Mason declared
and urged her to give Miss Hopkins a
job as cashier in the movie" house; but
Mrs. Mason said she told him the job
would only pay Sc a week
"Oh. that's all right; give her sl5,"
Mrs. Mason asserted Sulzer said, land
l will give you the difference"
Mrs. Mason mentioned a romance be-
tween herself and sulzer. She is the
divorced wife of e. 7. Mason, a wealthy
English silk manufacturer. She SAYS
Sulzer represented her in the proceedings.
She also states she did political work
for Sulzer and took part in the so-called
Kitchen cabinet" conferences in Albany
when sulzer was on trial for impeach-
nent.

win "if there is an honest count"
James w Gerard appears to have won
the Democratic senatorial nomination by
approximately $4,000 with six counties
still missing. Franklin d. Roosevelt ran
a fair second and James 8. McDonough
third.
The Republican Senatorial nomination
may be decided only when the complete
returns are in. Ballots Tailed up to
clock this morning seemed to indicate,
however, that unless upstate returns
show a reversal James w. Wadsworth
will beat William M. Calder, Of Brooklyn,
by a very small margin. Calder's great
strength In Brooklyn and New York, re-
suting from the regular organization
backing in those places, is chiefly re-
sponsible for the closeness Of the race.
Banbridge Colby, Progressive. had no
rival for the Senatorial nomination In
his party.
with returns coming slowly today IL
appears that less than 30 per cent. OF
the enrolled voters took advantage Of
the primaries. The Democratic vote, even
in New York, was not more than 40 per
cent, while the Republican vote was not
more than one-third of the party en-
Count of the votes for candidates for
Congress and minor State offices was
not undertaken until after tabulation Of

Senator. 1t appeared, however. that 20
of the present 43 New York Congress-
men have been renomlnated, a score of
Democrats and nine Republicans The
present delegation in Congress includes
90 Democrats and II Republicans.

IMAM YANISHES FROM
] FAST EXPRESS TRAIN
Disappears at South Franz

! With Father, Who Was
Taking Her to School.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 29.-Disap.
Fearing mysteriously between Boston

Peekskill, N. Y, on Boston and Albany
express train Sunday afternoon, no trace
ms yet has been found of Miss Katharine

The father was taking the girl from

He says she had about SIPS in her pock-
stbook and looked 20 instead of 16.
Miss Keating and her father started
from Boston for Albany, where they
were to change cars for Peekskill. Just
previous to the train pulling into South
Framlngham Mr.. Keating left his par
lsr seat to smoke, returning as the train
was possibly Is or 90 miles from this
scity to ind his daughter gone.
Believing she had gone to the women's
iwashroom, the father waited a few min
utes. but when the train approached
Worcester became worried and started
a search of all cars with the aid of the
conductor. No trace of the girl could
be found and the father alighted in
worcester ana wired South Framlngham
and then notified the local police
The police of Worcester and South
Frnringham traced the girl to the lat
ter city, where It was said she boarded
y trolley car for Worcester. No reason
for leaving the train Is given by the
wealthy Dallas attorney. other than the
fact that his daughter was unwilling to
return to the Peekskill school, He was
asked IL II was not possible that a ro-
nance was responsible, and he answered
that as far as he knew there was none.

LIQUOR QUESTION
STIRS DELAWARE
LEADING ISSUE
Lower Portion of State E.spe-
cially Interested in Subject
of License and Party Lines
Disregarded.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 2e.-Poli
ticians Of all parties are worried over
the prohibition question. In this county
they are OF the opinion that the "wets''
will be in a majority, and that the ques-
tlon OF license will not figure largely in
the campaign, but in the lower portion
OF the State the situation is mixed, and
no one can tell what the effect Is going
to be.
1t Is said the wet and dry" lines
are closer drawn In the lower part of
the State than ever before and that resi-
dents are aligning themselves on this
issue more than with the political parties.
In one district a Democrat has been
nominated who is dry" man and the
Republicans there say that they will sup
port him because he 10 dry" In an
other district a Republican nominated
for office may be dry and the dry
Democrats are apparently with him to a
man. The same division is being made
on men who are wet"
The Progressives by declaring for State
wide prohibition expect to get all of the
dry" votes. but this they will not do
The wet and dry" people will vote
for the men who favor them regardless
of party lines, because they consider this
the most important question which is to
come before the Legislature.
Two years ago the question was not
so strongly drawn in respect to legislative
candidates, because there was a United
States Senator to be elected and the
"wets" and "drys" put aside their diff
ferences in order to assist in the cleo
tion of man OF their own party to the
Senate, hut this year there is no Sem
ator to be elected. 1t Is therefore re-
garded as important by those interested
in the liquor question that they should
elect men of their own views.
