Government Loses
Twice in Commons
Within Same Day

London, July 20.-The question
whether general election should be
held when the present Parliament ex-
pires in November led to the govern
ment receiving rebuff in the House
of Commons today. Herbert L. SAM
uel, secretary of state for home af-
fairs, on behalf of the government,
submitted to the house a motion in
favor of the appointment OF a COM
mittee to consider the advisability of
preparing new electoral ministry, in
GLIDING the adequate representation
Of those engaged in the war and war
work, and to take other measures nee
essary to the holding of a general
election during the war. The motion
was warmly opposed by all sections Of
the house.
The government sustained techni-
cal defeat in the House of Commons
when an amendment to a bill dealing
with the placing of retired soldiers on
land and insisting that land should be
acquired for this purpose in Wales
was carried by a vote OF 81 to 46.
This amendment was opposed by the
government.

GIRL KILLS SELF
OYER LOVE AFFAIR
Josie Petrioh Sends Bullet
Through Head-Lover Waits
Outside the Door.
LIFE ONE OF TRAGEDY

Disappointed in love since her mar
riage at the age Of IA, Josie Petrich,
20-year-old wife Of Harry Petrich,
South Side. shot herself through the
right temple with a revolver in her
room at 5022 South Twenty-hfth
street yesterday morning at 7 o'clock.
Out side the bedroom door her lover,
George Miller, masseur at a, bath
house on the South Side, waited ex-
pectantly for an answer to a question.
For two weeks Mrs. Petrich has
been respondent. Monday morning
she informed her landlady, Mrs. Ida
M. Smith, that she intended to COM
nit suicide. She displayed a revolver
at the time. This morning when her
lover called to get several shirts, on
the sleeves of which she had promised
to embroider his initials, she an
swered him without unlocking the
door and sent bullet through her
head. Miller rushed into the room
when he heard her body fall to the
floor.
The story of her tragic life was
told to the police. Marrying unhap-
PLY at the age OF IA, she and her hus-
band separated two years ago. Since
then she has been keeping company
with George Miller, a young Austrian.
He had returned the attraction, but,
it is said, refused to marry her.
She is survived by two children and
her mother, who live at Thirty-hrst
and R streets. -~--
Writes Poetry Before Death.
Seventy-fve lines of poetry, which
were written in the last few days,
were found on the dresser in her
room. She accused Miller of having
prompted her to take her own life by
refusing to marry her. Several post
card pictures were also found. One
read as follows:
q, II have only two bolets, bat hope
that is nafe, If it isn't have Larkin
give ME poisone." She referred to
Deputy Coroner Bernard Larkin. The
one bullet remaining in the gun had
been made jagged at the end of the
lead, the object evidently being to
make sure Of death.
Post cards bearing her photograph
were addressed to her husband, Mil
Ter, her mother and her two children.
Mrs. Petrich worked as a waitress
in coffee house at Twenty-sixth and
N streets for several years. Miller
rooms at the Atlantic hotel. Accord
ing to the landlady, she had asked him
to move his quarters to the Smith
home in the last two weeks. He re-
fused. .-a.
Miller is being held by the South
Side notice.

WAS his nasterfnl plea, coming at the
close Of a series Of heated discussions for
and aeainst the measure. that settled the
fortunes for the day. The Governor de-
clared he stood unequivocally for the
right Of the fair sex II vote. He said he
would vote for it; would advocate il on
the stump and lead the fight for it with
in the party. Almost all Of the opposi-
tion To the measure was based on the
exPediency of committing the party u
il, and not upon its merits.
Hon. II. G.. Ogden, Of Wheeling, was
chairman Of the convention IL was with
difficulty that he held IN check the re-
