York, and others, was in Allan

the "Votes for Women" hap

headquarters on Thirty-fourth
street, in New York, and no
ticed their window placarded
with emblems and arguments
of the cause. Down in one cor
ner was a little sign which
read, Fudge Inside" The
idea struck him-if the ladies
wanted to sell candy, why not
sell the best candy. Why not
give the society the commits
sion on the selling cost and let

NOT SUCH DEADLY ENEMIES
"Bloody Chasm" That Separated Ma
tionalists and Ulsterites Might
Have Been Bridged.

AS all the world knows, interna-
tional war has proved great concil-
iator in Ireland. AS contributor to
the Bystander says, you cannot give
much attention to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the. empire when you are not GER
tain whether you will have an en-
pire to dismember.
There is a geniality about the Ma
tionalist volunteer that makes you
know that he would rather fight some
one elsetGermany in this case-than
Ulster. A few stories are current
that help to show how very ripe Ire
land was for conciliation. Not long
ago company of Nationalist volun-
teers, passing a company of Ulster
men. and being uncertain as to the
customary etiquette between deadly
enemies-saluted. In a northern dis
trict there was only one field suitable
for drilling, and as the two opposition
armies wanted it, the owner began
bidding them against each other.
Northern canniness asserted itself.
The commanding officer of one battal-
ion approached the enemy, and they
agreed to rent the field in common,
and use it on alternate days,
A third anecdote relates that while
some Ulster volunteers were drilling
Nationalist was seen sitting on n
fence watching them. When he was
questioned by an fisherman he ex-
planned that his own company had
mislaid their rifles and could not
drill: but" he added, I'VE were wait
ing to see If we could get the loan of
yours when you've done with them"

WIFE SEES HUSBAND SLAIN.
Womsn's Plea to Teamster Saves Her
Own Life.


Denver.-George Quinn, 80, team
ster, shot and instantly killed William
N. Herbertson, 35, contractor, in the
latter's apartments in rooming house
at 1O45 West Fourteenth avenue.
Then, as Herbertson fell with the top
of his head torn away by the charge
from a shotgun, Quinn turned the wea-
pom toward Herbertson's wife, Mrs.
Nellie Herbertson, who, with her 90
months-old baby, had witnessed the
shooting.
Mrs. Herbertson fled to pantry.
where she pleaded with Quinn to spare
her life for the sake of her unborn
child. Quinn lowered his gun and fled,
but later returned to the house and
surrendered himself to the police.
The love of the two men for the
woman is said to have been the cause
of the killing.
Members of Hebertson's family
charged that Mrs. Herbertson's ac-
count of the shooting was false and
that she had conspired with Quinn to
cause her husbands death.

Washington-After nearly nineteen
months of continuous session. the long
est ever held, the Sixty third Congress
adjourned its second session Saturday
after the collapse Of prolonged efforts
to procure cotton growers relief legis
lation.
Leaders of this movement agreed to
adjourn, however, only on the condi.
tion that pending cotton relief meas
ures would have the right of way
when Congress reconvenes, Dec. Z.
Not more than fifty members of the
House and less than a quorum of the
Senate were in attendance when the
gavels fell on adjournment. The end
was accomplished through concur
rent resolution ending the session at
4 o'clock in the afternoon, but clocks
were turned ahead. actual adjourn.
ment occurring at 3:22 and the Senate
at 1927.
AS the altered hands of the House
clock drew near 4, while the Senate
was winding up executive business,
Speaker Clark arose at his desk and,
floor, said:
This is the longest and most labor
ious session that Congress ever has
known. congratulate you most heart
lily on being able to adjourn at last.
wish to thank every member of the
House, Democrat, Republican, Progress
sive and Independent for uniform
courtesy shown to the speaker. Now,
in the language of Tiny Tim.' God
bless us everyone
The Senate adjournment was prob
ably the most undemonstrative in its
history. Democratic leaders and few
Republicans were sitting behind closed
doors confirming nominations when
word came that the House had carried
out the adjournment resolution. Sena-
tor Kern, the majority leader, at once
moved to open the doors. When this
was ordered the doorkeeper hurriedly
set the clock ahead and Senator Swan
son of Virginia, presiding in the alb
sence of the vice president and Presi-
dent Pro Tempore Clark, announced
that the Senate was adjourned.
In announcing the abandonment OF
their filibuster for cotton legislation,
following a conference held early in
the day, Senator Hoke Smith OF
Georgia and Representative Henry OF
Texas told the Senate and the House
it was apparent that no quorum could
be procured for consideration of cot
ton legislation at this time and that
further filibustering might injure the
chances of ultimate success.
One of the last acts of the House
was the adoption of a resolution au
thorizing the appointment of com
mittee to investigate cotton conditions
in the South and to report possible
measures for federal aid by Dec. Is.

Jury Disaerees in carman. Case.

Mineola, N. Y.-The jury in the trial
OF Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, ac-
cused of Staying Mrs. Louise Bailey
June 80, disagreed and was discharged.
Ten jurors are said to have voted for
acquittal and two for conviction OF
murder in the first degree. The jury
was out about thirteen hours. 1t is
unlikely that Mrs. Carman will ever be
brought to trial again. District Attor-
ney Lewis J. Smith said that if it
stood even eight to four for acquittal,
it was improbable that the defendant
would be retired.
