Jersey Shore, early this morning. He
then shot himself through the mouth,
dying almost instantly.
Holes died on the operating table in the
Jersey Shore Hospital an hour after the
shooting. The girl Is now in the hospital.
but surgeons Say there is little chance
| of her recovery.
The shooting occurred in the apart
ments of Mrs. Rose Roterng. Poust
gained entrance to the building by mount
Ing ladder to the second floor and
climbing through an open window. Holes
and the girl were lying on a couch. while
Mrs. Rotering and Mrse. Rose Naval, a
boarder, were asleep in an adjoining
room. Creeping to the side of the couch
where the man and woman wre lying,
Poust sent bullet from a .32-calibre re-
volver into the mans head then shot
the woman the bullet entering her right
eye and penetrating the brain. Mrs.
Rotering and Mrs. Naval, awakened by
the shots, reached the room just in time
to see Poust fall to the floor dead with a
bullet through the roof of his mouth.
Both Holes and Poust were married,
but the latter had parted from his wife,
who lives with her two-year-old son at
Satavertown Holes lived In Jersey Shore

CITY, had been employed as n dining room
girl at the Gamble House. one of the

that Holes and the girl had been seen
together 1t was also said that the girl
had declared she would have nothing
more to do with Poust.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Rotering, the girl came TO her house early
last evening and was Joined about mid
night by Holes. 1t is believed that Poust
had watched the movements of the two
and deliberately made his plans to kill
them The ladder. which he used to
mount to the second story of the build
ing, had been carried from a barn a half
square away.

are marshaled into lines outside both

In both stores, carpenters have set to
work inside at fencing off the premiums

Registration Of Nurses.

Maine IS the only New England state
for registered nurses. We are inform
ed that 80 states beyond the borders of
New England have enacted such laws
The purpose is 10 Sc, a standard Of ex-
cellence and 10 give legal status. Tn
der such law the professional nurse
will he registered. The probationer who
has not been accepted, because of un-
fitness, or pupil who has been dis
missed for cause. will be prevented
from posing as a graduate nurse. Such
I, law would prevent employees OF hos
pitfalls and sanatoria who are attract
ed by higher wages, from palmins
themselves of on the public as quail
fed nurses.
The Maine Legislature az this ses-
sion will be called upon 10 pass upon
such a measure. 1t is not our purpose
10 interfere with or TO bias their judg-
ment, but We hope the lawmakers will
4-StSi4 ~ al the arguments against Such
q measure and consider with care a few
OF the principle ones in favor of it. AS
We understand the proposed bill for
registration Of nurses in Maine, it is
not proposed to demand that unframed.
unskilled or unregistered nurses should
be restrained from following their vo-
cation. neither do the graduate nurses
ask that the public be deprived of its
right OF choice by compelling il 10 en-

A Democratic Dilemma,

The Washington correspondent Of
the Boston Transcript says that the
row apparent danger in the Philippine
bill. shown by such competent witness
es as former President Taft and DR..
:. Dean c. Worcester. has alarmed the
sponsors for the measure, and the
! President has made OF it an admins
tration measure, too, The writer de-
clares that no senator can be found

eminent exists in the islands or that
one can exist for more than a gen.
Grafton. They ali know that if the
United States should withdraw anar-
chy like that in Mexico would follow;
and the hearings have made clear that
any reference TO independence in
American law, however vague, will be
followed Immediately by a demand for
the real thing.
The Democrats have deliberately
made a party issue of this great ques-
ton Of foreign policy, and now they
are il a dilemma over it. Their COM
nonsense tells them that they canno:
temporiZe with this question their
party platform commands of them a
pledge and the President Of the United
States has made the Jones bill an Ad-
ministration measure Il is now an
open secret in the committee that with
all his willingness to aid the Admins
tration with the Philippines bill, Sen
Hitchcock is equally eager to
throw the partisanship aside and write
bill that will commend itself to the
intelligence of the country. The num-
Der OF persons who want the govern
ment TO withdraw from the Philippines
Internationally probably is not large.
Whether il is or is not, the thinking
men CT Congress have come to realize
al last that it either must do that, and
thus announce failure of a policy that
has not failed. or must retain the is
lands and complete policy which
so far has proved highly successful
