DISAPPOINTED TO LOVE
Goes ON WILD SPREE

Atlanta, June 2.-With an old rusty
Mexican dagger, Robert Carwell, the
worse for heat and liquor, ran amuck
on Mcpherson avenue last night, and
went from house to house brandishing
the weapon and chasing the occupants
into the street garbed only in their
nightrobes.
His wild spree followed on unsuc-
cessful effort, it is stated, to marry
the landlady of his boarding house
His story of disappointment in love
was told with such pathetic realism
that the police court judge was
touched, and since he hadn't actually
carved anybody with the dagger. le;

MURDERER WOULD SHIF7 7
BLAME TO WOMAN

Atlanta, June 2.-The world-old pela
of Adam that "the woman tempted
me-" is offered by Nick Wilburn
through his lawyers, in the hearing
now on before the prison commission
in which he is asking Communication CT
the death sentence to life imprison-
ment, following his conviction for the
murder of James King.
Wilburn says that Mrs. King, the
wife of the victim and his alleged par
amou planned all the details of the
murder of her own husband, and
forced him to commit the deed.
Wilburn aserts further that whe !
he committed the murder, it was be-
cause he was completely under the
influence OF the woman and that she
had also given him whiskey ana maze
him drunk so that she could the more
easily force him to do her biddiD~
Milburn pleads that he should not be
forced to suffer the whole penalty o.
the law in the light of the fact that
the woman, who was arrested with
Him, had been freed.
He says that on the day of the
murder, Mrs. King actually threatened
to kill Wilburn and herself if he didn't
kill the husband.

No Man VIII Get Space in Ten Story
Office Structure-They Expects Girls

Umce StrucCure-1hey Expects Ulrls
to Run Elevators.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 2.-Kansas
City is to have a ten-story office build
ing which will be deovted entirely to
business women. No men will be al
lowed to rent space in the structure.
The building is to be erected by the
Womans Commercial club, and wo
man capitalist whose name has not
been made public will finance the un-
dertaking. The site has been practi-
cally selecterd, but its location has
not been made public, as the women
do not wish the price on the lot TO
advance before they can close the
deal.
The building will be designed by q
woman architect with a special view
to the accommodation of women. The
agent of the building will be woman,
the janitors will be women, the eleva-
tors will be operated by girls, and
girls will be employed as porters. Of
flee girls instead of Office boys will
be employed by the tenants and male
stenographers need not apply. One
man has asked for an Office in the
building, declaring that he wanted it
because he knew it would be kept
clean, but his request has been refus-
ed.
The Women's Commercial club is
composed of women who own or op-
crate business or are members CT
some profession. 1t is said to be the
only organization of it's kind in the
country.
The club plans to rent as many Of
fees as possible before the building
is erected. A woman banker in au-
other city has engaged space on the
ground floor and will open womans
bank. Milliners, woman proprietors
of stores that handle clothing for Wo-
men, hairdressers, women doctors and
lawyers, a woman dentist, woman
florist, a dressmaker and woman
photographer have already engaged
rooms. A business school for women,
conducted by a woman, will have an
entire floor.
The club will have quarters in the
building with a large lobby where
women can meet at any time. A cafe
will probably be installed that men
may visit if accompanied by women.
While many of the members of the
club are suffragists, many others are
not, and the building will be devoted
entirely to the needs of the business.

eve find we can do better work by

president of the Women's Commercial
club. so effectual has this unifca>
ton become that our clienteles-I
mean the clienteles of the leading
business women of Kansas City-are
virtually the same. 1t is partly for
the convenience of these clientele3
that we wish to be all together in one
building, but it is partly, too, for
our own advantage, and because we
want an Office home over which We
can exercise full control. We shall be
free to exclude from the building all

standard that will be in accordance
with our best ideals. We can do all
this and make it pay, for we are bust

The troubles of the government of
Great Britain in dealing with the I'm

attention In this country during the
past few weeks. when matters became
acute because of the refusal OF some
