Chicago. Jan. l4.-What is love?
Dr. Richard J. Tivnen diagnosed II
today According to DR.. Tivnen. it is
laxis. While he asserted it was much
more incurable than measles. he held
out the hope that the malady could
be cured by the surgeons knife.
The occa sion was a banquet given
in honor of DIR. John F. Golden at the
Chicago Athletic Association. DR..
Golden is to marry Miss Mary Lydon
one week hence and DR.. Tivnen is to
be the best man. 1t is only fair to
say that DIR. Tivnen, who is not mar
ried, undertook to defend bachelor
dom in answer TO a toast, The
Bachelor"
DR.. w. A. Evans. the toastmaster,
threw a little more light on this def
milton.
"Anaphylaxis." he said. lis a condi-
ton of lack of resistance. Now.
whenever women are in question, men
are in a chronic condition of anaphy-
laXis"
Married men have an immense al
vantage over the bachelor-in the CO.

said DIR. Quine.
81 could never give Solomon much
credit for being wise-he had 700
wives. When he went beyond his own
little family circle he had no more
wisdom than a rabbit and no more
moral sense than A tomcat. I need
only refer to the episode of the Queen

house all night, and the next morning
he reported his loss to the police. The
hack was found in the Smithsonian
grounds without any occupant, the
horse wandering around aimlessly.
They seemed to think IT was all
ored servant of the Hughes household,
when questioned yesterday afternoon.
"I heard them talking about 1t the day
after the shooting. Miss Matte and
the other woman and their women
companions and the hackman, all OF
them laughed at the shooting, and from
the way they talked they seemed TO
have liked it, / heard Miss Matte say:

81 have held all along that robbery
was not the motive of this tragedy.
and my mothers words convince me
of it," declared the son of Mrs.
Hughes last night. Theft might have
been a secondary motive. but the prt-
mary motive was jealousy or revenge.
But even II the motive was robbery.
the men were working at the instlga-
tion of another person.
Mother says the job was done by
gunmen from another city, and l am
certain she is right. She will be bet
ter soon, and then I believe she Will
be able to tell some things which will
show my thery is correct"
Detectives declare they have dis
ca arded the revenge and jealousy theo-
ries and believe the motive TO have
been solely burglary. but that this is
sham to throw the public of the
trail and thus prevent interference
with their plans is NOT unlikely.
VIII Leave Hospital.
Mrs. Hughes expects to return to her
home from the hospital tomorrow.
Physicians have told her she may do so
il her condition continues good.
Those eyes! My God! Those eyes.
can never forget those eyes" Mrs.
Hughes said last night in describing
the terror she felt at the sight of her
assailant. II am certain | can identify
the man. The one who attacked me
was rather short. with dark hair and
dark eyes handkerchief yelled his
other features, but l know ! can tell
him by those terrible eyes. He pierced
me with them, and he said: Damn you.
I'm going to kill you He struck me on
the head with the butt Of his revolver.
Then he struck me in the face. l
dropped to the floor. l shrieked and
shrieked. and each time 1 shrieked he
kicked me in the face"
Another element OF mystery is lent to
the case by the fact that an attempt was
made early yesterday mornig TO re-
enter the Hughes home. George Kemp,
ir. who has been keeping guard at the
house. was awakened at 2:SO o'clock in
the morning by a noise at the front
door He went to the head OF the stairs
and pulled his revolver. according to his
story He heard steps on the porch and
IA
down the stairs. entred tho diningrOom.
and then peered through a door COM
municating with the parlor. The noise
he made evidently frightened the person
away, for when he entered the room all
was quiet. The parlor window and
screen were raised two feet from the
bottom.

he was put to bed and remained there
for weeks with a raging fever. As he
became Convalescent, he made prepara-
tions to continue his escape. His mus

disguise. He was furnished with two
guides and once more plunged into the
wilderness of the mountains. bound Tor

Nine days later he and his companions

Of Spaniards continues in Southern Mex
leo, particularly in Puebla, which was
taken by the Zapatistas. and then lost
by them the other day to a Carranza
force. Properties of Spanish subjects
have been seized or destroyed. and II is
asserted their rights and interests have
been Tuthlessly treated by fighting fac
tions.
No Confirmation Yet.
The State Department has no confirma-
ton OF reports that the convention voted
to continue Gutierrez in the provisional
presidency. 1t Is stated an announcement
to this effect was made by the conven-
ton, but the announcement subsequently
was recalled. and its publication pro-
hlbited.
The Carranza agency asserted it had re-
ceived dispatches to the effect that Villa
forces are evacuating SaltilIo and retreat
ing upon SaltiIlo. 1t is also reported
that Gen. Pablo Gonzales is about to
occupy San Luis Potosi. The charge Is
made that Gen. Saldivar, the Villa gen.
eral, taking advantage OF a heavy fog.
disguised himself and a party of soldiers.
and entering the camp OF Gen. Herrera,
the Carranza commander, tried to as
sassinate him.
