during the Madero regime, tried twice
to kill herself here.

from her bedroom window.
When her mother died last Monday
evening at st. Vincent's Hospital, the
girl went back TO the furnished room

years ago when they were leaders in
Mexican society. Mrs. Rozenoff tried
to comfort the girl. telling her that
she might make her home with them.

smelled gas and rushed up to the
front room on the third floor, where
he found Miss Morales lying on the
bed. with the gas turned on. He
opened a window and ran to get her

to live, and he began pawning her
furniture and jewels.
Finally, when he brought four chill
dren to live with her, announcing for
the first time that he was a widower.
Mrs. Verges and her daughter left
him. They had obtained positions in
a millinery establishment, and each
was earning $15 a week They were
awaiting money from property in
Mexico.
On last Monday evening Verges,
" no had written several letters to his
wife, pleading with her TO return to
him. called at the rooming house and
again begged her to come back. When
she refused he shot her twice.

Snake Eats China
 Eggs With Others

Smith Center, Kan, Oct. 25.- About two months ago Mrs. Ellen Chitwood, living near here, was out gathering eggs and upon putting her hand into nest came in contact with a large bullsnake, evidently a lover of eggs himself. In her fright, Mrs. Chitwood allowed his snakeship to escape, and after taking out the eggs left one made of china in their place. Next day she returned to the nest and found the artificial egg gone. A few days ago she met the snake again, and this time she mustered courage to sail in and kill it with a club. Noticing an enlargement in the snakes body, she performed a post mortem and found it to be the glass egg. The snake did not seem to be at all handicapped by the pres ence of the egg in it's stomach, as it put up hard fight before being dis patched.

Plan Refinery on
 Mississippi and '5>'%5 Large Pipe Line

Shreveport, La, Oct. 25.-Erection eof a O,O00-barrell refinery and con- struction of a@10-inch pipe line from 1.-the North Louisiana oil fields to the Erefiinery are contemplated by Chi cago capitalists, according to E. Kirby Smith, who returned yesterday Efrom that city. Plans of the pro Imoters are to erect the refinery at a Epcint on the Mississippi river, that they may have the advantage of \ Edeep water to the ocean, such as is |enjoyed by the Standard Oil com pany with it's plant at Baton Rouge. Details of the plants, and names of those behind the projects could not be disclosed by. MT. Smith, =
 However" he said, "the. men. who propose it are amply able to put it thru without any outside assistance: believe that Shreveport is as good if not better location for refinery than any place on the Mississippi river, and naturally urged the point. It will be some time before actual construction begins, but they are not losing any time in getting plans in shape to build."

.LUXEMbURC WOMEN GIVEN VOTE BEFORE
 THEY ASKED FOR II
Grand Duchess Who Granted It Wanted to Keep Step With
 World.

Luxembourg, Oct. 25.-The Grand Duchess Charlotte, ruler of LuXem- burg less than a year, signed law granting suffrage to women before they had asked for it, because, she told the Associated Press correspon- dent Tit seemed the time to do it."
 "So far as 1 know," the Grand Duchess sad, "the women never made any special demand for the vote. There is a movement through out the world for such things ana 1t seemed the time to do 1t. The Wo- men have come up step by step until l think they are ready for it.
 The matter of submitting to the people choice of retaining the Grand Duchy, under her or someone else, or of establishing republic she admitted with a smile, caused Der little anxiety though she signed the law for a plebiscite also. "l felt the people would vote for me- ,' she added.
 The vote was about to 1 to re- tain the Grand Duchy and the Grand Duchess Charlotte as ruler.
 The Grand Duchess received the correspondent in the morning, an hour after the government began counting the ballots that decided in her favor, but before the first results of the referendum reached her.
 The ruler of Luxemburg is of the house of Nassau, one of the highest reigning families in Europe, but the simplicity of her manner has been remarked by many of those who know hcr. The former Princess Charlotte took over the government upon the abdeation of her sister, the former Grand Duchess Marie-Adc- laide, of whom the peace conference at Paris disapproved.
 The present Grand Duchess is 24 years old. She is of medium height, slender and girlish with a most com piimentary eagerness to listen.
