Unlimited financial backing has

within the next "a hours an expert
organizer can be found in the Unit
ed States or the world who will be
willing to accept an attractive posi-
ton as financial manager of the re-

To offset the proposition of a
boys military institution, the alumni
will offer nothing but a first-class
institution which will carry on all
the desirable features of the his
toric college with the added inn
petus of plenty of money and en-
viable educational opportunities.
Two interests bargaining for the
college farm Friday insured its sale
and thereby the freedom of the col
lege from debt. Hundreds of dol
lars in small subscriptions are COM

Mrs. Grace Cahill, "a years old,
lS46 North Sixteenth street, d.
vorced wife of Frank Cahill, Fort
Dodge, Ia, attempted suicide by
taking poison Thursday night.
She had just finished talking to
her former husband by long dis
tance telephone. She quarreled with
him over the telephone, according
to Mrs. Clara Miller, her bosorn
friend, and in final effort to soften
her husbands heart lifted her little
son, Bernard, to the receiver that
he might speak to his daddy"
The father had hung up.
Putting her son down gently, she
walked slowly into the apartment
of her friend, Mrs. Miller. She went
to player piano and played her
favoritc piece, Smiles"
Clasps Son to Breast
"Smiles" had always served to ,e-
lieve her dependency before, ac-
cording to Mrs. Miller, but this
time it failed. She went reluctantly
back to her own apartment, claspcd
her son to her breast for moment,
then went into her bedroom and
closed the door.
Milo Chillson, a roomer in the
same house heard her moaning, in-
vestigated, and found her writhing
with pain on her bed.
"I've taken poison" she gasped.
"Please let me, die. Life isn't
worth while" NJ
Chillson called the, police. DR. ].
c. Follman responded, and worked
for over an hour to save her life.
When he left he pronounced her
condition uncertain"
Behind locked doors Mrs. Cahill
could be heard moaning yester-
day. She refused to see anyone but
her friend, Mrs. Miller. Her son
played in the rear of the apartment
unconscious of the tragedy that had
almost blighted his life. Il
"She intended to leave this morn
ing for Fort Dodge to see her di-
vorced husband" said Mrs. Miller
"She hoped to effect some kind oi
q reconciliation or at least to obtain
more alimony to help support hei
son as she thought he should be
supported.
"She went down town Thursday
; and accidentally met a woman from
Fort Dodge. The woman told heI
