ACCUSES SWEETHEART;
THEN RETRACTS STORY
Beautiful Philadelphia Girl Says
SuitOr Put BichIOride OF Mer-
curry i'm Her Coffee.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 21.-De-
tails fit to take rank alongside of the
most tragic love tale were told here
today by Miss Alice Wickersham. a
beautiful 22-year-old girl, who de-
clared that a rejected suitOr had tried
to poison her by placing bichloride
of mercury in her coffee while at
luncheon in the Hotel Adelphia, then
take his own life.
When the girl was first taken to
the German hospital she charged
Claude @. ALerker. aged 20, with try
ing to kill her, but when her condi-
ton improved and she was told that
she would recover she retracted her
story and declared she had taken
poison by mistake.
Merker, who was madly infatuated
with the girl, invited her to the hotel
for lunch on Wednesday, according to
detectives who investigated the case.
During the meal the girl noticed that
her coffee had a peculiarly bitter
taste, she spoke about it and then
for the first time noticed the strange
pallor of her companions face and
the wild look in his eyes.
My suspicious were aroused" :" said
Miss Wickersham "and 1 asked
Claude what he had done"
L have given you poison he re-
piled in a hoarse, choked voice. Then
he quickly took two tablets from his
pocket and swallowed them
The couple arrived at the Penn
sylvania in a taxicab, but Miss Wick
ersham did not take treatment. IN
stead she begged the officials to save
the life of her companion and then
left. Merker soon recovered and
left. showing much trepidation when
he found that Miss W-ickeSbham had
departed. He found her in the Ger
man hospital.

Illinois Governor Says Former Gar

Reelection.

WASHINGTON. Feb 21.-Gov.
Dunno of Illinois today told his
friends in the house that Uncle Joe"
Cannon never could come back to
congress. II don't believe that Mr..
Cannon can be elected" he said.
Neither can Mr.. Rodenbery. Only
one of the prominent republicans Of
our state who have been beaten and
who may possibly come back, is Mr..
Mckinley. He is a large employer
OF labor and can get votes that his
party associates can not get. We
shall be represented in the next house
by just as many democrats as now,
perhaps more. It's all nonsense to
talk about Industrial depression.
There isn't any. The stories about a
great army of unemployed in Chicago
are not true. Almost any one who
wants work can get employment in
Chicago and the other large industrial
centers. The democratic party has
made good and is making good"

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-No action

of the execution of William S. Benton,
a British subject by the rebel general
Villa. This was announced by Secre-
tary OF state Bryan today following
the receipt Of a lengthy dispatch from
Consul Edwards at Juarez, to the ef-
feet that Benton was shot after a for
mai court martial.
Edwards report 10 the state depart

from Secretary Bryan. Secretary
Bryan's telegram to Edwards followed
- personal request from the British
am bassadOr. SpringRice for the first
hand Information concerning the fate
of the Englishman. The text OF the
Edwards report was not made public.
Secretary Bryan merely said:
We have received word from Con-
sui Edwards that Benton was executed
after a formal court martial"
The secretary added that he con-
sidered that this was sufficient to dis
pose Of the matter and indicated that
the L. :. will not take any further
steps.
Consul Edwards he said, had all the
proceedings OF the court martial and
was transmitting them 10 the state
department by mail.

matter it was indicated th2t it eX-

and TO demand further investigation.
II was reported that Benton was arm
cd when he entered the Villa camp.
The impression was conveyed that
Gen Villa was justifed in holding a
court martial because of the alleged
threats made by the Englishman and
that the death OF Benton probably has
been put in the wrong light.
