For Awhile-Mexican Wanted to
Put Himself Out Of
Misery

A fight said to have been started
over a two bit piece, which George
Bailey, colored, declared John H. Mare.
Mexican, owed him, resulted In both
belligerents being turned over to sur
peons for treatment last night. Bailey 8
left arm was almost severed from his
body, and the Mexican's left arm was
broken in two places from a blow
from a poker with which Bailey de-
Tended himself.
The fight took place in A. A. Bland's
shop, on Main street between Tenth
and Eleventh streets. Bailey, it is
said, claimed Mare owed him quar-
ter. One word led to another, and the
Mexican, it Is claimed, assaulted
Bailey with knife. Officers Field
and Reed we're near at hand and saw
Mexican Joe," as Mare is known to
the police, making his getaway
through the rear door of the shop.
They notified the station and the net
was spread for the Mexican.
Mare was caught at Third and Ex-
change streets by Officers Tigue and
Griffey and sent to the station in a
wagon. Bailey was brought to the
Office of DR.. Frank Brown. DR.. COT
few was called to. the station to at.
tend the Mexican.
It was found on examination by DR..
Brown that the cut which Bailey sus-
tanned severed the big muscle about
the shoulder and almost severed the
arm from the body. The Mexican had
a little wound in his head, and Bailey
had put him out of commission with
the iron poker or stove shaker which
he used in defending himself.
The Mexican's knife could not be
found on him. He said at the station
that he had not cut anyone.
The Mexican had all the fight out
Of him when he was in the surgeons
hands at the police station. He con-
tinually biffed his own head with his
fists and implored the officers to give
him gun, that he might kill himself.
He very dexterously reached over and
extracted a checkbook from the hip
pocket of one of the doctors, with his
free hand, but found that it was not
loaded and wouldn't put him out of
his misery.

BOY WF1IRLED TO DEATH-NoW
THEY'LL FIX THE MACHINERY

THEY'LL FIX THE MACHINERY
Two months ago Joseph Pfeiffer,
10 years old, left the little village of
Grant, Mich, and came to Chicago.
In his home town he left his mother
and sister, both invalids. Their house
was heavily burdened by mortgages.
Joe tried his best to earn enough
money in Grant to pay off the mort
gage. But the handicap proved too
great.
So he babe his mother and sister
goodby and turned his face toward
Chicago. He was coming back big
man some day, he told his mother.
But Chicago presented stern
problem to the boy from the country.
There was a brother here living at
1926 Sedgwick street, but the broth
er had wife and six little ones, and
Joe's board money was highly neces-
Sary.
Joe trudged the streets each day
looking for work. Finally he was
hired by the Gluten Milling Co., 1881
Kingsbury street, at $1,000 week.
For this salary he was made do the
work of a man. But to Joe there was
no alternative. There was his mother
and sister in the home over in Mich
igan. So he worked on.
Yesterday afternoon the superin-
tendent sent Joe to fix the highest
belt strap on a whirling machine The
boy went up the ladder. The older
employees watched. They knew the
danger A moment later a sickenipg
cry was heard. The boy was caught
in the machinery. In an instant he
was whirled to death.
When they picked him from the
floor they found a blood-stained
money order for $3.50, addressed to
his mother, in his pocket.

pressed surprise at the dangerous

OPERATION AND NEGLECT ARE
INDIRECTLY BLAMED
AIpena. Mich, March 25.-"We
find that Pearl McMillen came to her
death from peritonitis, superinduced
by criminal operation and neglect"
Such was the verdict returned St
1:30 a. m. today by the coroner's
jury which since Sunday has been
probing into the mysterious death of
Pearl McMillen in the home of her
foster father, Ephraim McMillen, a
painter. Whether the operation was
performed by the girl or by someone
else the jury did not attempt to say.
McMillen, still maintaining ALSO
lutte silence in regard to the case, was
transferred from the police station
here to the county Jail. Although he
has retained counsel, he has made no
effort to obtain the $4,000 bond under
which he is held.
The girls death last Friday re-
vealed the fact that she had lived in
the house two years, going out only
at night with McMillen.
McMillen's son, William, II, told of
conditions in his fathers home, of
the filthy room in which the girl had
been secluded for more than a year
without neighbors having knowledge
of her presence, of her. ambition to
become vaudeville star, and how
she danced in her bare feet at the di-
rection of his father !
The boy stated he had not seen the
girl for several months, as she refus-
ed to leave her room while anyone
except McMillen was in the house.

THE EDITOR INTERVIEWED
tContinued from First Pagel

among the Tingier prophets were Com stock and Fisher delegates who could smell the inevitable afar off. Tingier received majority, over all, of I6l on the first ballot"
 The oratory, from the speech of the temporary chairman on the first night, to the last nominating speech of the convention, was exceptionally good, said The News auditor. The speech of Congressman Tom Reilly, placing Governor Baldwin in nomintaion. was one of Reilly's best efforts. Rubicund Judge Billy Shields, of Norwich. who is bald enough to make President Orr, of the B. H. c. of A., turn green with envy, attempted to make q long speech for Comstock; at a time when the convention was tired of speeches, and had hard time of it. He was hooted and cat-called, but persisted, and through the vigorous measure of Chairman Kennedy, finally managed to get through his speech.
 The only political headquarters at the Allyn House, that wasn't crowded with glad-handers was J. Henry Rora- backs on the third floor, where the chairman of the republican state com mittee was getting his equipment into shape for the beginning of his busy season. J. Henry said he had been accused of attending the Thursday evening session of the democratic pow WOW, but could prove an alibi if it was worth while.
 The suffragists and the antis had a talking match before the resolutions committee, Friday morning, in the Allyn House, and the suffs apparently won out, as the democratic platform has a''pro" plank in it. The suffragists ladies were on deck in the lobby of Foot Guard Hall, and supplied the delegates with literature to help the good cause along.

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro.

The most eastern of the states in which vote. is to be taken next November on tic question of woman suffrage is Ohio. and an impression has been deliberately created by the opponents of voters for women that the chance of winning Ohio for woman suffrage is not bright. At the present time Miss Florence F. Allen, n member of the Cincinnati Bar and faithful worker through several cam. paigns for woman suffrage is in Connecticut, and her accounts of the condition of affairs in Ohio is most in. teresting and enlightening.
 In Ohio it is necessary to obtain the signatures of at least ten per cent. of the voters who voted in the last full election. The petition had altogether over 1000 signatures more than were necessary. and the wide distribution of suffrage sentiment is felt to be the best augury of success in November.
 Another reason for expecting success for the suffrage amendment lies in the fact that Ohio has been tremendously affected by the example of Illinois. The success that has attended the working of partial suffrage all over this neighboring state has effected a tre- mendous change in the sentiment of the voters in both states.
 Another reason still for hope for the suffrage amendment lies in the fact that this year the prohibitionists are giving their hearty support to the suffrage measure. The prohibitionists have always included women suffrage in their platform, but in the past their support has been but half -hearted. Since the women of Illinois succeeded in so many towns and counties to the dry area in Illinois, the pro- -hibitionists have realized that 1t is really worth while to have the woman's vote. There is to be vote on state wide prohibition amendment next November as we'll as on the suffrage amendment and all who are supporting the "drys'' are being urged also to vote "yesn on woman suffrage.

Blithers and Smithers were neigh bors.

Loomis Institute Opens.

An important addition to the educa- tional forces of Connecticut was Sopened yesterday at Windsor. It is the Eoomis Institute, a school which was incore porated forty years ago by four Loomis brothers, who lived in Chicago but were natives of Windsor. They each left their estates for the purpose and when the last of those who had interests in the estate had died there was a fund of about $2, 900, 900 and the school was begun. The institute is a school of practical arts and the headmaster is Nathaniel Horton Batcheider, A. M. who was formerly connected with Hotchkiss school. He has some original ideas about how good school should be run, and his putting them into practice will be an experiment. in edu. cation that ought to be of interest to educators, inasmuch as some of his plans have never been tried in other schools. MT. Batchelder agrees with President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard that an educationis not complete unless the young man carries some of the things that he has learned out into the life that he will have to live when he is through school. Consequently all the boys in the Loomis Institute will have to do a certain amount of manual labor. In the dining room, which is one of the finest and most dignifed rooms in any school in the country, the students are to wait on themselves. MT. Batchelder will not stand for the system of few boys acting as walters for the others and having to eat after the others have finished. Instead of any such plan as that all the boys will take turns at waiting on table One boy at each table will act as the waiter for the day, and he will eat at the table with the rest. In this way no few boys will be the ''goats" all the time and those who are on any one day will not find themselves seriously incon- venienced.
 The course in agriculture will be one of the most important departments in the Institute, and will be run on plan that seems to differ from any plan that has ever been used. Instead of merely working on the Institute's land, the young man may rent a small piece from the school and work it himself. He will Be taught the scientific methods of agriculture. in the class room under the direction of Edwin M. Chamberlin, who is a graduate of Harvard College and did considerable graduate work in the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The student rents his small plot of land and with his class room training he ought to be able to make money. If he is unable to make good on the land, the loss is his own. ..-4.
 The school has college preparatory department, business department and a course in domestic science for young women.
 No charge will be made for tuition, but pupils will be expected to buy their own books, and to pay for purely per sonal equipment in laboratory courses. They will also pay for lunches taken at the school at cost, not to exceed $h a week. l
 A limited number of scholarships will be granted each year to pupils of exceptional promise who would not otherwise be able to attend the school. These scholarships will take the form of remission of charges, and will be awarded only on the recommendation of the headmaster.
