UNTY JAIL 10 RE PRoRED

The grand jury will investigate the |
charges of laxity in the County Jail |
made by two women in the Court of |
Domestic Relations yesterday, who |
declared that men and women prison
ers were permitted to associate, I'M
guarded, for hours at time.
One of the women, however, may |
be held to the grand jury on charge
of perjury.
Miss Maude Cusack of 1850 ely
bourn avenue charged Charles Papa |
lorum, 2642 North Ashland avenue,
with being the father of her child. |
She claimed that in November, 1910,
she was in jail, charged with passing
worthless checks. Papalorum was
awaiting trial for murder, she stated,
and declared that relations between
them continued for several months.
Evidence introduced in the trial,
however, seemed to indicate that be-
cause of the time at which she al
legged she was associating with Papa
Iorum, it was not possible he was the
father of her child. Papalorum was
therefore discharged.
James II. Callahan, lawyer LOT MISS
Cusack, said he would welcome haV-
ing the girl taken before the grand
jury as he would then make revela-
tons concerning conditions that
would startle the city.
Miss Anna Schmidt, who attained
notoriety soon after the conviction
of DR.. Haldane Cleminson, charged
with wife murder, alleged that she
was allowed to stay with DR.. Clemin-
son in the Jail two hours at time.

District Corrects Report
as to His Position
OH Matter
By c. f. srEwART

Washington February i6.-(Special.)
The stories circulated in the Fourth
congressional district and emanating
from Selma, being first published in
papers there, and reproduced through
out the state, to the effect that Rep
resentative Blaekmon has favored
postponement of the primary provided
by the state committee for April 6. is
absolutely denied by Mr. Blackmon.
On the contrary. Representative
Blaokmon emphatically states that the
first intimation that he had that there
was such a suggestion came from
sources for which he is not at all re-
spor sible.
81 had no notion. declared Mr.. Black
man. "of asking for a postponement of
the date of the primary. nor have /
had a suggestion that such thing be
done from any of my friends. On the
other hand, as soon as l learned of
this suggestion I wired a number of
my friends to see to it that the date
of the primary for the Fourth district
be the same as that fixed by the state
committee"
MIR. Blackmon has been seriously i'll
and his recovery has not been as speedy
as his physicians and friends had
hoped. The condition of the weather
recently has operated in preventing him
from getting out. His reappearance at
the capital in a few days is now as

mon, he says, to go to Alabama as
soon as his condition and official busi-

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T WRITE ACID; INK. LORD LYTTON'S MISFOI


What biting sarcasm person can place
on paper. 1t sinks a thousand times
deeper than the spoken word. A cruel
word can be modified by the way it is
uttered, or ii can be recalled, but let
the paper that it Is erased with difficulty.
There it remains as long as the letter is
not destroyed.
1t was this method of writing in acid
which caused so much domestic unhappi-
ness between Lord Bulwer Lytton and
his beautiful wife, Rosina Wheeler. Rosi-
ma was an Irish girl with more than the
usual temper of that race. She also pos
sessed rare literary gifts. A writer says
of hef: She could never resist a pert
word smart repartee. and when she
had pen i'll her hand 1t seemed to write
with acid instead of ink"
Lord Lytton, who died in 1873, was one
of the most popular novelists of the nine
teenth century. He filed his hooks with
romance, yet his friends said of him that
he, himself, was filled with more romance
than he ever jotted down.
Lord Lytton seems to have been an odd
mixture of self-conceit and brilliant wit.
accompanied by unusual absurdity. His
married life proved to be a tragedy as
well to himself as to his wife What had
started in as the most delightful of
sentiment soon turned on both sides into
the most bitter of hatred. Mrs Lytton
denounced her husband as a monster in
human FORM
One of the main reasons in the start for
the domestic disturbance was too much
mother-n-law. Mrs. Bulwer Lytton, the
mother. was an eccentric, hot-tempered
and arrogant dame. She had great ambi-
tions for her talented son, and opposed
to his making so humble match, as she
considered his wedding with Rosina
Rosinas 5 most grievous fault was her
jealousy. Their first quarrel came quickly

When they would quarrel Lytton would
quickly rush off to town on some literary
pfeteNt, and upon his return he would
ma his wife frantic with jealous sus-
picions Later there was first a daugh-
ter and then son born to this unhappy
union and Lady Lytton went to Italy.
Nhile there she made an affidavit in
which she said:

One day Rosina received a telegram

irritation. There was scene and Lady
Lytton denounced her husband as IAN in
oarnate lie and rushing back to her car
riage she was driven home at at once

The two children for time were al
lowed to live with the mother, but when
Lady Lytton denounced Lord Bulwer as
"a monster and then wrote a novel hold
ing him up to the world under thin dis
guise as brutal fellow. he took the chill
dren away from her and refused permis-
sion for her to see them.
For several years Lady Lytton lived
queer, desolate life, and finally became
obsessed with the idea that she was
victim of an unceasing persecution from
her husband. Finally, upon her return
to England her hallucinations became so
aggravated that her husband had her
placed in private asylum.
considerable per cent of the English
people sided with the wife, and they
raised such a storm when Lord Lytton
placed her in custody that she was lib
Grated within three weeks. The remain
der of her life was uneventful, but
wretched and melancholy owing to COM
parative poverty and a bitter grudge
against life itself. She outlived her hus-
band and died at the age of so years.

der the disappointment, like the fallen
angel he says, Evil be thou my good
and in pursuance of this purpose he starts
out to do all the harm he can. To wreck
the political party that wrecked him is
the one aim and object of his life He
sees what he considers a weak point in
the governments position, and upon it
he determines to concentrate all his at
tack. The home rule bill offered Sir Ed
ward an opportunity to distinguish HIM
self. and he quickly seizes it. After his
Vitriolic outburst in the House OF COM
mons he goes to Ulster to arouse the
dormant prejudces and passions of the
Orangemen. He strs up and blows into
flame the smouldering embers of intoler-
ance. He breaches a gospel of fear and
hatred among neighbors He invokes and
provoks strife between man and man. He
rants and raves about civil war and the
attendant consequences: he rushes from
Belfast to London. and from London to
Belfast ranting and threatening, sowing
dssention and scattering the seeds of
strife along his path. Sir Edward Carson
has never said single word or done
single act in his whole life to add to the
sum of human happiness: his heart is as
cold and calous to human suffering as
the heart of a Comanche Indian. His one
purpose in life now is revenge, and in pur-
suit of that purpose he cares not what
back him up in his Ulster tactics simply
because they think with him that home
rule offers a good point of attack on the
government, and the downfall of the lib
eral party is what the unionists work for.
Those who read the report of the Kings
speech in opening Parliament can well
understand why the unionists seek to pull
down the liberal government. The union
list party in Parliament the represent
tatives of aristocracy and landlordism.
The programme of liberal legislation is
. aimed at them, and if the government
! falls they Hve, but If the government
lives they fall. Hence all this clamor.
So far as home rule itself is concerned
the English lord or unionist does not care
a fig, but as the defeat of home rule
means the defeat of the government,
home rule becomes a very important mat
ter. OF a hundred times more import
ance than home rule is the great land bill
which Lloyd George is ready to introduce.
The reform of the House of Lords is an
other item in the liberal programme which
means much more to the unionists than
home rule for Ireland. The disestablish-
ment of the Anglican church in Wales
opens the door to a similar action In Eng
land itself and the abolition of plural
voting means the loss to the unionists
of at least 40 seats in Parliament. To
avert all these disasters to the unlonfst
party it is necessary to overthrow the
present government, and home rule is
the crosstie laid upon the rails to ditch
the parliamentary freight carrying relief
to England's toiling masses.
