Young colored Woman Dangerously
Wounded After "Ras Alley Quar-
reIl With jealous
Lover.
ESCAPES FROM POLICE
William Holmes, Who Committed As
sauIt, Sought by the Police
May be in Hiding
Here.

Because she refused to live with
him, William Holmes, colored, made a
viscious assault with a knife upon
Mrs. Florence Carl, Is year old color
ed girl, in house in Rag Alley short
~ after ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Several long and deep wounds
were inflicted upon the young WON
ans body and although dangerous. 1t
is believed she will recover Holmes,
for whom search is being made by
the police, has not yet been arrested.
The assault was committed in a
house occupied by Navajo Owens, and
Mr.. and Mrs. John McGili. 1t is 10.
Gated in Rag Alley near Eighth and
johnson. Holmes, McGiil and Mrs.
Carl were in the room when Holmes
started his assault. McGill, however.
fed when Holmes threw the young
woman across bed and started to
cut her with pocket knife.
McGil1 summoned the police but be-
fore either the police or McGill could
reach the place Holmes had made his
escape and Mrs. Carl had left. Mrs.
Carl reached the house OF Hattie
Kirby, nearby. before she was com
PEELED to stop. The Kirby woman
called Dr.. W. Frank Brown who had
the woman removed to his Office
where her wounds we're dressed.
An examination OF the wounds show
ed that there was one about a foot in
length and two inches deep on her
left hip. and two other smaller ones
on her right side. Over fifty stitches
were required to sew up the cuts.
After her wounds were dressed Mrs.
Carl was taken to the home OF her
grandmother at Sixteenth and Blon-
deau. where she has been residing for
several months. The young woman is
but IS years old She came from,
Monroe City. Mo-, where she has rela
tives residing.
From the nature or the wounds 1t If
believed by the police that Holmes at
tempted to infict fatal injuries on the
woman. One OF the wounds appears
to have been inflicted by the knife
being stuck straight in the body as
far as the blade would go. Every eft
fort IS being made to capture Holmes
and it Is believed he may be in hid
ing some place in the city. Holmes
has been in Keokuk for several years
He recently has been employed by
Oscar Swanson as flod carrier.

business will be made public, and men
of the class who will I'LL these re-
sponsible Offices will hesitate to en-
dorse unreasonable expenditure All
recommendations viii be thus open to
public inspection and criticism before
final action is taken.
At this time we do not favor abol-
fshing the Offices of printer and bind
er. We do, however, favor reduction
in volume of published reports and
elimination therefrom of all duplica-
ton. We find many hundreds OF
pages of duplication. many hundreds
of other pages of absolutely useless
matter and many hundreds of pages
of extensive tables which might be
better and more understandingly ex-
pressed by tabulation occupying one
fifth to one-tenth of the space. Tn
der the proposed plan and with each
reporting to the head
OF the main department, and the gem
eral head formulating a general re-
port based thereon to be printed, all
this trouble Of duplication, excessive
space, etc, would doubtless be elm
mated.
The dictaphone, the addressograph.
the photographic method OF making
copies, omission of duplication OF rec
ords, use of carbon copies. ETC., have
been already recommended by this
committee and in large part adopted.
Very briefly we submit the follow
ing general recommendations:
Provide method whereby the status
OF every bill introduced in the legts-
lature may be ascertained at any
time, preventing loss or neglect OF
bills.
Adopt some method OF insuring ac-
curacy in inclusion OF amendments
adopted, and exclusion Of amendments
not adopted.
Reduce number OF clerks, doorkeep-
ers, janitors and elevator tenders so
that while adequate service may be
assured, employees excessive In num-
Der may be avoided.
Reduce the size and number OF
committees that members may be able
to attend all committee meetings of
which they are members, thus secur-
ing responsible consideration OF all
measures.
Prohibit by rule. dictation OF cor
respondence, etc, at members desks
in open session as disconcerting and
destructive of business efficiency.
We recommend the use OF perman-
emit nmbers for automobiles, thus
avoiding the now very cumbersome
method of issuing new numbers each.
year, entailing great expense in ex-
animation Of preceding records and
comparison thereof as well as cost
of numbers and expense OF delivery.
The board of control has effected
material savings by the employment
of a purchasing agent and we recon-
mend that his duties be extended to
include the purchase OF all state sup
plies.

Maine Boomers
Meet in Bangor

The committee in charge of the De-
velop Maine Movement, about which
so much has been printed In the news
papers OF late, met Thursday after
noon in the Bangor House, Bangor.
They were the guests of the manage
ment and the spacious and comfort
able private dining room on the first
floor was placed at their disposal.
The question of the finances-highly
important in all uplift movements-oc-
cupied most of the time. William E.
Lawry OF Augusta is the committees
treasurer, and he told in detail of the
response thus far made by the people
or Maine There has been a good deal
or interest, and the committee has
some funds; but it wants more right
away. and 1t is going after them. 1t
is believed there are a great many
who will help this movement for the
lasting betterment of the best State
in New England.
The idea is to engage an astute, we'll
informed, convincing agent to go out
and get business for Maine. His sal
airy would probably be about $4,000 a
year: II he wasn't worth that. he
wouldn't be worth anything. He would
have Names advantages at his
tongues end, and his duty would be
to convince the owners and promoters
OF industries that there Is no better
place for them to locate.
For instance:
1t is known that many important
Massachusetts, manufacturers are
chaflng under what they believe is vi
ciously unjust legislation. They are
ready to transfer their extensive prop
critics TO other flelds-and New Hamp-
shire or the West will get them If
Maine misses its opportunity. One
great industry brought lowell, say
Bangor-would be worth the salary of
the agent many time over.
Plans were discussed. tentatively,
for a great public meeting to be held
in Bangor: and 1t is intended to have
a vigorous membership campaign in
the eastern part of the State. Many
announcements of interest are likely
to he made by the committee in the
near future, but this is substantially
all that was discussed Thursday
Those present-ont all members of
the committee, but all heartily inter-
ested in the work-were Hon. William
T. Cobb, Rockland; A. A. Head, Wa
terville; w. E. Lawry. Walter S. Wy

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing IN All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, May 22.-Business on the
Stock Exhange today was the smallest
of any day thus far this year the total
overturn-9S,60O shares-comparing with
as 600 shares on March last, when the
big snowstorm interrupted communities
ton with this center. The low ebb re-
corded today was due to lack of conf
dence or indifference on the part of spec
ulators and investors.
The steady drain on our gold holdings
by Europe serves to call renewed atten-
tion to what appears much over.ex-
tended condition in Paris and the fact
that London is negotiating for our gold
betokens an unusual state of affairs at
the British metropolis.
Opening prices were a mixture Of un-
important advances and declines, from
which there was little change as the
session progressed. In fact the light
trading reflected its professional source.
Londons market was weak, with some
further selling here for that account A
conservative estimate places the foreign
selling here since the beginning of the
year at not less than 100000 shares. An
other gold engagement of $2,Oo0,0O0 for
Paris was reported.
Local monetary conditions showed no
change, chiefly because the demand has
fallen below normal conditions. Clearing
house banks are expected to show cash
gain for the week, and bank cledringS
of the country for that same period show
a marked gain over the preceding week.
