Chicago, March 9.--An ihvestiga-
ton of the activities of the North
American Bankers \and Farmers
Journal, said to be published by the
National Credit corporation, was
started by Federal Judge Lands, in
connection with the inquiry into the
financial affairs of the Daniel Hayes

When George T. Peak, counsel
for the receiver of the Hayes con-
cern, exhibited copy of the maga-
zine showing advertisements of the
Hayes company said to have been
written as news items, Judge Lands
issued subpoenaes for Andrew
Early, president and treasurer of
the National Credit corporation, and
w. ]. Cobb, editor and manager of
the trade journal. r..
Mr.. Early denied knowledge OF
the publications. policy, but Cobb
admitted that the news items con-
cerning the Hayes company was a
paid advertisement and that $3.50 had
been received for its insertion. The
advertisement was said ITO declare
that the Hayes company stock was
as good as a government bond.
Cobb denied that it was published
with any intention of defrauding the
public and said he saw nothing
wrong in running the advertisement
as news item as long as he knew
the company was sound. The item
was said to have been placed be-
meath the caption "aThe White List"
which purported, it was said, to be,
list of names of companies in
vestigated by the trade journal and
found financially responsible.

Grief-Stricke7, Wife
FOrgiUes Woman Who
N Killed Her Husband

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, March "a grief
stricken wife, numbed by the pain
of great tragedy, sat in her desc
lated home surrounded by her
children and forgave the woman
who hau robbed her of her hus-
band and -fer children of
father.
In the apartment where the
tragedy was enacted undertakers
were preparing the body of Cliff
ford Melville Bleyer to be sent
back to the desolate home, where
his little daughters prattled of his
absence, in childish ignorance of
his fate.
On slab at "a Soutfi Side
morgue lay the beautiful form of
Mrs. Ruth Randall, the woman
who had loved Bleyer in life and
killed him in the last despairing
moment before she took her own
life.
Mrs. Randall was woman of
unusual attractiveness and mental
ability. On dresser in the room
where she and Bleyer were found
dead we're several poems she had
written, among them this signifi-
cant note:
Sleep, for my hand is sure;
The cold steel. bright and pure,
Strikes through thy heart and mine,
Shedding our blood like wine.
1t was plain, the police and cor
oner said, that she had shot Bleyer
as he slept and then turned the
weapon upon herself.
Bleyer was head OF an advertis-
ing concern and Mrs. Randall was
an advertising writer. Investiga
ton of her divorce papers shows
her former husband was a drunk
ard and violently abusive.
Her ilove for Bleyer was SO
great that when he began to show
signs of breaking away she ap-
parently decided to take him with
her on the Great Adventure.

the safe-robbing gang. They were
guided by diagram furnished by

awoke Mrs. Wadsworth, who came
to the door ofthe shack.
,"What do you want?" she de-
manded, truculently.

Decisive Action Expected To-

Bloch, Whose Affirmative
Vote May Break the Tie.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, March o. Charges
of corruption were made tonight by
leaders of the National Woman's
party and Frank Barrow, repre-
sentative OF thcs national republican
senatorial committee, against the
forces opposing suffrage in the
West Virginia legislature.
While State Senator Block has
been. speeded across the country
from California to save the day for
ratification, opponents OF the
amendment have brought to life a
member of the legislature, Senator
Archibald Montgomery, who moved
from West Virginia to Illinois some
time ago and has not been con-
sidered member of the legislature.
If Mr.. Montgomery is seated and
votes against suffrage, it will con-
tinue TO tie the vote which is
tantamount to the defeat of the SUI
frage amendment in West Virginia
and perhaps its final defeat i'll the
nation.
"Our workers have never en-
countered," Allie Paul, chairman o.
the national woman's party, stated
tonight, tactics so corrupt or such
attempts as the buying of votes as
are a matter of common report to-
day in the halls of the West Virginia
legislature. The liquor and other
interests opposed to suffrage, defeat
ed in New Jersey. are making
another desperate stand in West Wiz
ginia. The last minute return OF
Mr.. Montgomery is the final hope
for defeating ratification"
Suffragists Win Victory.
Charleston w. Va, March o.
Forces favoring ratification of the
federal suffrage amendment in the
West Virginia legislature won an
other victory in the senate Tuesday
afternoon in their effort to keep that
body in session until Senator Jesse
A. Bloch can arrive in Charleston.
1t is expected he will reach here
early "Wednesday and cast the de-
ciding vote in the senate at its ses-
sion Wednesday afternoon.
The fight in the senate centered
upon the right of Senator A. R.
Montgomery to vote. He had Come
from his home in Illinois in an eff
fort to break the deadlock ex-
isting between pro and anti-suffrage
forces, and bring about final adj
journment of the senate before Sem
ator Bloch could arrive. Suffrage
forces, by the vote of Senator Burr,
who had been listed as an anti
suffragist, succeeded in preventing
Senator Montgomery from voting
and brought about temporary ad-
journment.
Before adjournment Governor
Cornwall was asked to provide the
senate with a copy of the letter
which it is said Senator Montgom-
erys wrote to him when he moved
from West Virginia to Illinois rela-
tive to his resignation.
No word has been received OF
Senator Bloch since he left Chicago
on special train for Cincinnati,
where it is expected another special
train will rush him to Charleston to
assure his being in his seat Wednes-
day.
