WOMEN SLAYERS
FREED IN CHICAGO
States Attorney Declares Jur-
ors Indifference eto Law Has
Become a Scandal.

Chicago, Ill. March 16-"The manner
in which women who committed
murder in Cook county have been able
to escape punishment has become a
scandal" asserted States, Attorney
Hoyne in a statement issued on the
heels of a motion by his office to drop
the case against Mrs. Augusta Dietz,
accused of numbering her husband.
While Hoyne said the case against
Mrs. Dietz was withdrawn because of
lack of evidence, he declared it appear
ed impossible to convict a woman who
had murdered a man in this jurisdic-
ton.
1.-The blame is on the jurors he
said, who seem ready to bring a ver-
dict of acquittal whenever a woman is
charged with murder is good looking
or able to turn on a flood of tears or
exhibit a capacity for fainting. In
some cases where women have been
charged with murder the circum-
stances indicated brutality farther
than displayed by the worst male
criminal. In the last three years 13
women have been acquitted of murder
charges and one has been convicted.
Lawyers for the defense too frequently
are selected by police officials

Especial to The Argus.)
Washington, March 16.-Congress-
man Clyde II. Tavenner has decided to
recommend the following as postmas-
ters in the Fourteenth district:
Macomb-J. Ross Mickey.
Aledo-Charles Duvall.
Milan-Charles A. Brandenburg.
Tavenner originally nominated P.
II. Tiernen at Macomb but the SEN
ate through the personal objection"
prerogative raised by Senator l. Y.
Sherman rejected the appointment and
Senator James Hamilton Lewis, under
the rule OF senatorial courtesy COIN
cided with his colleague and withdrew
the nomination. Tavenner has recent
" been insisting upon his right TO
name Tiernen again and he has made
repeated trips to the postoffice de-
pa-tment with that end in view. The
department informed him 1t was
favorable to his choice and would re-
new the nomination If he could get
the Illinois senate TO withdraw their
objections. To this end he has labored
in vain. Lewis would have yielded had
Sherman done so, but the latter is
obdurate and there was but one thing
TO do under the postoffice department
ruling and that to choose another man
Tavenner has therefore selected
Judge J. Ross Mickey. former con-
gressman, who has the approval OF
Tiernen and his friends.
Mr.. Brandenburg, the new Milan
postmaster, has been for number or
years in the rural mail service travel
ing out of Milan. He succeeds r. E.
Little, who has served for nearly II
years. The appointment is expected to
be effective at the expiration of Mr..
LittIe's term, April 5. The selection OF
a new postmaster is popular one.
Mr.. Brandenburg is native OF Milan
and is capable and well liked. His
training in the rural mail service fts
him well for the position
Mr.. Little was first appointed by
President Mckinley, July II, 1897, be-
ing reappointed by succeeding presi-
dents. The business of the office has
increased greatly during Mr.. Littles
incumbency. There are now hVe
rural routes out of Milan.
