= WASHINGTON, May 12.-The
way was cleared in congress today
for Col. Roosevelt. if ne is given au-
thorization by the administration to
raise a division o. volunteers for
service in France.
Reversing its previous action and
overriding the conference commit
tee on the army draft bill, the house
voted 215 TO Us to empower the
president TO extend authority for re-
cruiting such a division. This sent
the army bill back 10 conference but
the senate already had adopted a
similar authorization during original
consideration of the measure and it's
cOnferees are expected 10 agree to it
now.
Opposed by Army Stan.
Whether the necessary authority
will be given Col. Roosevelt by the
administration is prOblematicaL The
army general staff whose advice
Pres't Wilson has followed closely in
the conduct Of the war, is strongly
opposed TO such a plan, declaring
volunteer units of that character
have no place in the great war army.
The house voted the authorization
after a stormy debate. Rep. Anthony
led the fight for the colonel, moving
10 recOmmit the army bill 10 confer
ence with instructions TO accept the
senate's Roosevelt amendment.
Chairman Dent of the military COM
mittee and many other democrats
and republicans fought against the
proposal. Forty-five democrats and
four Independents were among those
who voted for it and there were 30
republican votes against it.
Expect Conference Approval.
When the action Of the house was
reported TO the senate. Chairman
Chamberlain of the military COM
mittee withdrew the conference re-
port for revision and announced
that the conferees would meet Mon
day. The bill with the amendment
included is expected 10 receive final
conference approval without delay
and go 10 the president for his sig
nature by the middle of the week.

PLUNGES To DEATH
FROM HIGH WINDOW
Russian Suicide Is Suspected of Secret
. Teutonic Connee-
ton.

New York, July 6.-After cutting deer
gashes in his wrist with razor blade
Richard Adam Timmerscheidt, known as
an agent of the Russian government
and again as representative Of rich Ger
man interests in the Orient, plunged to
death from the window of his apartment
in Fifty ninth street early yesterday.
There is considerable doubt as to the
mans occupations and in view OF the
espionage problem the authorities are
taking unusual interest in the suicide.
The facts of the case will be presented
to the federal agents at once.
Timmerscheidt became an American
citizen in 1914. He was always appar-
emily plentifully supplied with money,
and his apartments were richly fur
nished The man left no note and no
reason is known for his suicide.
The police learned Timmerseheidt had
his mail addressed in care of a banking
firm here. A membership card of the
German club was found in the mans
apartment, and ii was learned that he
was known at the club as a man OF
means and leisure.
At his bankers it was said that little
was known of Timmerscheidt. He kept
to himself and it was stated had no con-
nection with the firm other than client.
A comprehensive library of Oriental
works was found in Timmerscheidt's
apartment Examination showed he first
slashed his wrists, then bandaged them
before leaping TO his death

the American Federation of Women
Clubs, in an address she delivered to-day
at the speakers training camp for edu

war by conserving food.
'If we do our duty by our allies and
the neutral countries over the seas there

First, it asks that we help the men
to produce more.
Second, that we eliminate waste
"Third, the government asks that
women substitute the cheaper foods for
those that have grown costly.
Fourth, we are asked to conserve all
fruits and vegetables that are produced
this summer for we shall not feel the full
brunt of war prices until cold weather
comes.
There is concrete contribution that
each of us can make, beginning to-day,
toward the elimination of waste. war
portion should be our watch word at
each meal. This does not mean hunger,
it means taking on the plate only what
we will consume, wasting nothing.

woman to keep before her the fact that
this food campaign is not one of short
duration. AS long as the war lasts, we
must stand by our guns; we must re-
member that for every man who goes to
the front, five people at home are needed

must let it be known that no woman has
the right to buy in large quantities and
hoard food for her family. Some one
has well said that such a woman is at

"There was never greater need for
women to be sane than at this hour.
There is no excuse for excitement or for
hysteria. Let there be no weeping, no
complaining, no lamentation, when our

POLICE SECRECY
Still Enshrouds Death Mystery of Mrs
Pauline Reyes.

Dedham, Mass, July 6.-Evidence on
which the state seeks to obtain an indict
ment against Miss Harriet A. Varney, a
hospital attendant, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Pauline keyes at Brook
line June 10, was presented to the grand
jury in special session here yesterday.
The same degree of secrecy that char
aeterized the earlier police investigation
and the inquest last week was observed
and the names of witnesses summoned
to testify were not revealed. Miss Var
ney, who is held without bail in the
county jail here, has shown no interest
whatever in the case and since her arrest
at West Upton 10 days ago has refused
to read newspaper accounts of the de-
velopments.
Notwithstanding the opinion expressed
by the medical examiner of Brookline,
that Mrs. Reyes killed herself BY shoot.
ing, Dist. Atty r. J. Kaufman has an
nouneed that he would attempt to estab-
fish the fact that Miss Varney called at
the Keyes home and killed Mrs. Keyes
through motives of jealousy.
Although witnesses have accounted for
the movements OF George II. Keyes, the
utau Aoihan nucbdnus on the daN oil
the shooting, Reyes has been questioned
at length concerning the statement BY
members Of Miss Narney's family that

NOT SEEKING
ASSESSORS
WORK TOO
County Clerks Oppose Idea Of AboIishiug
Office Of Assessor and Letting
Clerks Do Work

The proposal to dump the county
assessors work into the county clerk S
office is not to the liking of the latter
officials and consideration of this mat
ter will be one Of the items Of bust
ness which will receive attention at
the state meeting Of county clerks in
Oklahoma City on January 25 by the
state association.
Ross Cox, county clerk of Grady
county and secretary of the state or
ganization Of county clerks, in an in
terview today said:
Zone OF the first things TO be con
sidered will be the proposed move
ment to return the office of the coun.
ty assessor 70 the county clerks office.
This was formerly done but several
years ago the office of county asses
sor was created.
Il cannot see anything in this pro
posal, but that it would be backward
step. There is no one better qualified
or able to attend to the duties of the
assessor than regularly appointed
officer who has nothing else in the
world to do but to assess. Under the
new laws the officer must go out to
make the assessment and this would
impose hardship on the county clerk
whose manifold duties require his
presence in his office. He would not
have the time to attend to the duties
of assessor and at the same time per
lorm the dual duties now imposed up
IN him, those of clerk of the county
and recorder of deeds |
i would put him at the head of too
many things to look after at once"
