for charity.
The main features Of the evening were
Allied quadrilea-lfnglish, American and
French-in which demure Martha

wonen We'd with tho picturesque elgh-
teenth century GainsborouRh costumes 0t

CHICAGO BOOSTS PRICE
TO HOUSE DELEGATES
Women List Their Houses With
$500 as Lowest Figure for
Convention Period.

Chicago, April I7.--One Of tho most
striking developments IN connection with
the approaching Republican National
Convention lies in the fact that because
all the large downtown hotels are booked
10 capacity for that event many we'll
known Chicago women are listing their
houses and apartments for rent during
convention week at $500 to 50 900 for the
FIVE days beginning June s,
The women however, are strongly of
the opinion that the price for allowing
some convention attendant--they know
not whom--to trample on their good rugs
for the period of the convention is per-
fectly reasonable.
The lowest rental seems 20 be the Of
fer made by Mrs W A. Vincent of BIG
Astor street Tho agent says il is $500;
Mrs Vincent SAYS $500. Mrs Vincent
will rent tho apartment for $50 n month
during the summer and for $500 or $500
for Eve DAYS during the convention.
The highest rental seems 10 be that Of
Mrs r.. Hall Met 'ormick. of Rush and

LIFE OF RUBBER TOLD
BY NEW COMPUTATION
American Chemical Society Also
Hears Of Value Of Corn Cobs
for Dye Making.

st. Louis, April ia now invention
for determining the life Of rubber products,
notably automobile tires, was announced
yesterday TO the American Chemical
Society in paper by the only woman
member Of the rubber section OF the so
ciety, by Miss Irene &. Diner, % years
old, student of New York University,
who also advanced an entirely new theory
Of vuicanization and of elasticity, and
appeared To explain certain phenomena
IN the structure Of rubber hitherto re-
garded as mysterious.
II is reported that Miss Dinder refused
the urgings OF certain automobile tire
manufacturers that she keep secret her
discovery for their benefit. and has chosen
TO give out the results OF her two years
Of experimentation for the advancement
Of science.
Miss Diners invention is said to mako
10 possible Co foretell much more ac-
curately and surely than heretofore by
microscopic examination and search for
certain wearing qualities, which she dis
covered, the actual miles any automobile
tire may be expected TO travel. She is

istry in Fordham University, New York,
and Is n graduate Of Columbia Univer-
sity.

This dyo substance Is known as fur
fural which long has been regarded ~
a laboratory curiosity Dr. Monroe says,
because its distillation from wood costs
about gi7 a pound. Recent experiments,

ARDEN SCHOOL.
To be Considered at Meeting Next
Monday Night.

A meeting will be held Monday night
in the club house at Arden for further
consideration of the apportionmcnt Of the
cost Of maintenance Of the school, which
was established last fall, on the status
of an emergency district, the County
Board Of Education supplying al the
Essentials except the building.
When the schoolroom first provided,
proved TO be too chilly, the COMMITTEES
rented another, and also agreed TO
pny the teacber $50 month IN addi-
ton TO her salary from the county. IL Is
claimed by several OF the parents inter-
cstcd that they were not consulted, and
that, anyway, the assessing of the amount
at a per capita rate OF 81 % per month
for each child is not, an equitable distri-
button of the burden. In their view, the
cost should be- met by the colony on n
communal plan, from the annual rents
received from leascholders.
The matter came up at meeting held
on Thursday evening, when the facts
were brought out, but no conclusion was
reached.

awful tragedy. She said that ever since
a severe illness three years ago tho boy
has had fits and was subject TO brooding
and spells of moodiness and melancholia.
She knew Of Sundays quarrel and the
orders thc-father had given Ollie Monday
and blames herself for not having oliie
taken by the authorities Monday and
examined as to his mental responsibility.
When the boy came back from Swan
Creek Monday and apparently been re-
conciled with his father, she was happy.
She said the father promised TO give the
boy some land to raise n crop OF peas and
corn and potatoes and was to give him
horse and his freedom when he reached
his Dist birthday, 13 months hence. In
return the boy promised to give UP the
girl, at least until he became II.
Neither the mother nor the boy had
had any time or opportunity for any con-
versation, yet il is her theory. which agrees
with the boys sstatement~-that the young
man and his father started off in the buggy
for Swan Creek to get the boys clothing,
and not TO 90 to the girls homo to de-
nounce her, rs was believed by those in
the naighborhood who knew of the cir
cumstances. They did not even go by the
girls home, as that would take them to-
ward Mllsboro, but took the direct road
toward Swan Creek, which would have
taken them mile North of that town.
The mother believes-and the boy says
that in his confession--that on the road
the father began to talk about the girl,
which the boy resented. From that they
began to quarrel and then to fighting
She believes that her son killed Mr.. Morris
in II fit of an ger and never realized the
enormity of his crime until it was done.
In his confession the boy states that his
father struck him several times before he
became angered enough TO strike back
Then after they got to fighting in earnest
he became crazed with anger and did not
come 20 himself until he saw his parent 3
lifeess form lying in tho bottom Of the
buggy.
Tho body of Derrick Morris said TO
have had $40 on the clothing when found.
Mrs. Morris says her husband had not
been TO Georgetown and obtained $500
as was reported.
