coaches of several hundred dollars and

Authorities at Bolton, which is sew

were residents of Chattanooga and in
termediate towns. AS the train passed
through Winnings, man entered the

to collect valuables from the passen-
gers. He had robbed more than a
score when C. c. Heard, an Atlanta
deputy, who was returning from
Rome, Ca, opened fire upon him. Half
a dozen shots were exchanged, Heard
being wounded slightly by a bullet

press or mail cars. The amount stol-
en- from passengers is believed to have
been small, although one man reported
that he had given UP $500.

Names. five MEN
Gov. Hodges Commission to
Consider New Prison.
They Will Investigate and Rec
Ommend to Legislature.

Governor Hodges today named a COM
mission composed of f1ve men to in
vestigate the needs of q new peniten-
tiary at Lansing and to make recon-
mendations to the 1915 legislature. The
commission is headed by Professor r.
w. Blackmar of Kansas university,
who a few days ago recommended to
the governor the need of a new state
prison. Other members are: H. w.
McClaughrey. Leavenworth. former
warden federal prison: w. H. Haskell,
Kansas City. Kan. former warden state
City. member state penal board; and
John r. Mulvane. Topeka. banker.
The action Of the governor today fol-
lowed out the suggestion of Professor
Blackmar in his prison report of this
week in which he urged the naming of
a special commission to investigate the
need of a new penitentiary at Lansing
and to make recommendations to the
next legislature. Professor Blackmar
spent an hour in conference with the
governor and expressed approval Of the
commission named by the chief execu-
tive. He expects to call a meeting Of
the board in few days and plans for
future work will be outlined.
It Is probable that the prison COM
mission will later make several trips
construction. They will also call into
consultation experts. engineers and the
state architect. Plans for a new prison
will be published and submitted to
members of the 1915 legislature. In his
recent report, Professor Blackmar
urged that the appropriation for a new
state penitentiary be made covering q
period of four or five years.
Several Of the members of the
prison commission have had expert
ence in prison work. Professor Black
mar served on a penitentiary commits
sion, both under the Hoch and Stubbs
administrations, and was recently ap-
pointed by Governor Hodges to in
vestigate conditions at Lansing. H. w.
McClaughrey is one Of the most wide
ly known prison managers in the
country and was for a number of years
warden of the federal prison at Leav-
enwOrth. He was also warden of the
Illinois state prison at Joliet. w. H.
Haskell Is a former state senator and
was for several years warden Of the
penltentiary which Professor Black
mar recommends should be rebuilt. ].
E. Porter is a member of the present
prison board. while ]. r. Mulvane of
Topeka Is one Of the most widely
known bankers in Kansas.
Professor Blackmar spent nearly an
hour in conference with Governor
Hodges today and his recent report
was discussed in detail. Later Pro-
fessor Blackmar will make a special
report to the governor outlining the
work which has been done at the
penitentiary under the present man.

TWO Die BY own HANDS
Man and His Niece Commit Suicide
With Same Revolver.

San Francisco, Jan. ia woman
known as Blanche Wood, - years old.
seized a revolver and shot herself
dead early this morning at a hotel
here in the presence of her uncle, A.
b. Wood, and a friend. Edward Rob-
erts. as Roberts was attempting to dis
suade Wood from committing suicide.
Wood then took the weapon. and killed
himself. Early in the evening Wood,
who had made several suicidal threats,
he said he would take his life.
Wood had been to a picture show
with Edward Roberts. Roberts left
him at Woods hotel and went to his
own home, where he found Miss Wood
in a state of hysteria- She had found
the note from her uncle saying that
he had decided to kill himself, as he
had lost his money and his friends
had deserted him.
Roberts and Miss Wood hastened to
the hotel and burst in on Wood. They
upbraided him for what the woman
termed a "ghastly joke" Suddenly she
took a revolver from a bureau drawer
and shot herself through the heart.
Wood leaped across his niece's
shot himself through the heart Both
died within a few minutes.
Roberts said that Wood. until two
years ago. was on the Tennessee su-
preme court bench. He came to San
Francisco about q year ago.
According to Roberts, Wood had
become involved in q political matter
that caused him to leave Tennessee.
He said he did not know his friends

adopted the name Wood after COM
ing to California. He said Wood had
a son living In Memphis and a daugh-
ter IN Dexter, Mo. Wood was 81
years old.
In San. Francisco Wood engaged in
the restaurant business, but six
months ago sold his business. His
niece. Roberts said, had literary as

The DAY IN CONGRESS
House Democrats Refuse to Provide
for Committee on Suffrage.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Senate met at
noon. Senator Hoke Smith spoke for
early passage of an agricultural extern
sion bill. Elections committee con-
tinued working on the Lee-Glass sena-
torial cases. Senator Borah introduced
a bill for a new government institution
to act as marketing agency for farm
products.
House met at noon. Rules committee
deferred action on proposed investiga-
ton Of the Colorado and Michigan
strikes. Consideration of the postOf-
fee appropriation bill continued.
Democrats of the rules committee re-
fused to report a rule to create stand
ing committee on woman suffrage in
the house.
After a long discussion the Demo-
crat majority concluded that the time
was not ripe for creation of a sepa-
rate committee on the subject. The
action comes after a long campaign
of the woman suffragists in which
the anti-suffrage organization made a
spirited fight. Women suffragists
from every part of the country ap-
peared at recent hearings and later,
led by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, visited
President Wilson and urged him to
ask congress in a message to create a
suffrage committee. The president
declined to do so saying he had nc
authority to represent the Democratic
party in such a matter and could not
transmit his own views in a message
whatever they might be.
Suffrage leaders here were shocked
at the news of their defeat and began
discussing plans. The committee an
nounced its action soon after a dele.
CATION of the Fels fund for single tar
had called and urged creation of a
separate committee. In the delegation
were Herbert Bigelow. Cincinnati;

BEFORE EIGHT JUDGES
Argument i'm Tax Payers Injunction
Suit Is Being Made.

Kansas City, Jan. 17.-Arguments
in the tax payers injunction suit, to
ing the expenses of another trial of
DR.. B. Clark Hyde, charged with the
murder of Col. Swope, were resumed
today before eight circuit judges. The
judges informed the attorneys that
they must finish their argument to-
day. Roland Hughes, one Of the at
torneys representing the two tax pay
ers in whose names the suit was
brought, said there was no specific
statute authorizing the county court
to appropriate money for any such
purpose az that contemplated in the
action OF the county judges, In guar
anteeing the payment of state wit
nessea.
Floyd Jacobs, county prosecutor,
had begun his argument when Judge
Thomas interrupted him and asked:
do you consider that the county
court was acting in its administrative
or judicial capacity when it appropri-
ated this money!"
81 don't care in what capacity It
was acting" Jacobs replied. '.All
want is to get the money to try the
Hyde case
I'VE are not trying the Hyde case
here" Judge Thomas returned. 1--WE
are trying to find out what the law
is
The court denied the application f,led
by the two county taxpayers. for the
injunction. The judges granted Ro-
land Hughes, the attorney who filed
the application, four days in which to
hle a motion for new trial Hughes
declared If new trial were not granted
he would appeal to the state supreme
court.
It was pointed out that should the
Injunction suit go to the supreme court
It might not be heard for two years
Floyd Jacobs, county prosecutor, charg-
ed that the attorney who brought the
xuft had taken fee from men who
were attorneys for DIR. Hyde in the last
murder trial The suit was filed in the
name OF Theodore Peltxer and George
e. Bowling. taxpayers.
