windows to see what was going on,
the police arrested the frantic woman
ana took her to the station house,
where she made night hideous foi
several hours. Upon being brought
into the Police Court next morning

on Aer, which was paid. She was ad-
rns1ished before she left the court
room.
At late hour last night Mrs. Trum-
bull. having allowed herself to be
bitten again by the same old serpent,
caused great excitement on Roya!

which would not he tolerated in the

said she would use knife upon the

and challenged any one to come neal
her.

and red eyes, cried aloud and moaned
piteorsly when told she must spend

MEETING OF LEADERS
Literature for Germ~n American
Newspaper Readers-Will Not
Waste Ammunition in Contest

Washington. Aug. 29-Many Demo-
cratic members of Congress gath
cred at a local hotel last night to
hear reports of the progress OF the
presidential campaign and pleas tor
enthusiastic cooperation from vance
Mccormick, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, Speaker
Clark and Representative Doremus,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee.
The committee heads asked for
more speakers for Maine, but Speak
er Clark reminded them that despite
:he Importance Of the Maine election,
it was essential to maintain quorum
of the House for action on important
business to be disposed of before ad-
journment.
Representative Williams, of Illinois,
proposed the need of more Democratic
literature for the German-American
newspaper readers.
Mr.. Mccormick said that the great
est problem that confronted the party
was getting it's case before the pup-
lie. as war and other international al
fairs had crowded the campaign of
the front pages of the newspapers.
He told how it was planned to have
rousing Democratic start in Maine
and then carry on the fight actively
ELSEWHERE, concentrating in the doubt
full States and not wasting ammuni-
ton on the certain districts.
Mr.. Cummings, head of the speak.
ers bureau, told the conference there
were States in which the Democrats
had the right to expect victory. He
said reports from Maine were $50
encouraging as to be almost too as
tonishjng to believe" He asked that
twelve or fifteen Representatives
volunteer to add to the speakers sche-
dule for Maine. Speaker Clark, who
recently returned from Maine, re-
ported that the audiences there, in
stead of being "cold," were "most an
preciative," and that he had never
found it easier to make speeches than
in this campaign.
