the Eastern Franks. The anniversary

December "a, 720.
She was the founder of a cOmmun-
'ity which was established in honor of
the Blessed Virgin. Her story is Of
interest not only for her own life and
work, but for the connection which
she had with the labors of ST. Wilt
ebrord,, the Apostle Of the Frisians.

brought up, and was well educated.
The Introduction to the story of her
religious life embraces a.pathetic in
cident. She was betrothed to a French
Count of the name of. Herman. He
died suddenly. st. Irmina was struck
by the vanity Of earthly things, and
decided to cOnsecrate her virginity to
God in religious life.
Her father gave her the old royal
palace in Trier. This she converted
into an abbey She founded her corn.
in honor of the Blessed Virgin,
and placed it under the rule Of st.
Benedict. She became its. Abbess.
At about the end of the seventh
century the monastery was visited by
a fatal epidemic. st. Irmina asked st.
Willibrord to come to, Trier. His visit
forms noteworthy episode in the life.
Of both saints. He celebrated Mass
1T the Abbey, blessed holy water. i and
gave it to the nuns. It is report ed that
ali recovered from their illness.
st, Irmina was filed with gratitude

GETTING DOWN TO FINAL
COUNT IN WASHINGTON

What no! Is the Woman's Suf-
frage Amendment to the Constitution
gong to fall by the wayside before
the election of next November? Of
ficials and politicians in Washington
who have been counting upon early
ratification in order to have the vote
of the women in the presidential
election, are becoming alarmed, and
uneaseness prevails at the National
Suffrage Headquarters. There is
good ground for concern. Aspirants
for office will be bidding for the di-
rect support of the women in their
campaign, but it will likely be late
in the summer before it will be def
nitely known whether the women can
cast their ballot for President on
election day. Twenty-six states have
now ratified the amendment, leav-
ing ten to be obtained. Idaho and
Wyoming are expected to fall in line
of legislatures are expected in Ne
within thirty days Special sessions
vada, New Mexico and Washington.
Then five more states, including New
Jersey, must be heard from. A sharp
fight is expected in that state. The
campaign for Federal enfranchise-
ment is narrowing down.
A Unitarian minister has been APP
pointed by President Wilson to be
Commissioner of the District of Col
umbia. Citizens are opposing his
confirmation in the Senate on the
grounds that he is a theorist and not
man of practical business affairs.
Washington is to have a government
store to sell at cost food and clothing
of all kinds to Federal employees liv-
ing in the Capital City. Census fig
ures show that there is one doctor
to every five hundred population in
Washington. Revenue Commission
er Roper is puzzled as how best to
guard the sixty four million gallons
of liquor in bonded warehouses.
Thefts of the fluid are reported to
his office daily.

The effect of the wage award
upon the pay rolls Of Pacific
Coast Railroads is indicated in eS-
Inmates made in San Francisco,
July 23d, at the general offices Of
the Southern Pacific Company,
that the added bill for all that
company's lines alone would ar-
ploximate SIT, 100000. The exact
figures remain to be determined,
but it was said that the figure
quoted was believed to be very
nearly correct Officials pointed
out that stockholders of the
Southern Pacific last year re-
ceiyed in dividends ST. AIS. l60,
so that this one recent wage in
crease distributed among the
company's employees equals the
mount that the stockholders got
altogether. There are over 3d.
600 employees on the Pacific
System lines.

ed out that the Southern Pacific's

Finds Son, Mother and
Sister Killed by Gas
Brooklyn Man Discovers Bodies
OH Return From Taking
Wife to Hospital

Frederick Schroeder, of 1716 Put
nam Avenue, Queens Borough, who
took his two -year-old son to the home
of his mother, Mary Schroeder, at 1877
Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, Tuesday
because his wife, a pneumonia victim,
had been sent to Wyckoff Heights
Hospital, opened the door Of his
mothers home last night and was as
sailed by an overpowerng odor Of
gas,
AS he ran through the apartment 20
open window, he stumbled over
something inert on the floor of thc
kitchen. When he returned to that
room after opening every window IN
the apartment, he saw that it was the
Matilda Schroeder that had tripped
him. They had been overcome by
gas. Schroeder's son was unconscious
in his crib.
An emergency crew OF the Brook
lyn Union Gas Company came with a
lung motor and an ambulance was
sent from Wyckof Heights Hospital.
All efforts to revive the women and
the boy were vain. They were dead
The position of the bodies indicated
that the elder woman had succumbed d
first to the fumes, whicho came from
defevctive tube attached to the gas
stove.
Her daughter, apparently, had fallen
senseless across Mrs. Schocder's body
while attempting to drag her to d
window to revive her. The boy
penned in by the high sides of his
crib, had no opportunity to escape.

He sighed heavily as Jackson dug into
his pocket and produced a photograph,
then suddenly exclaimed:
"That's my wife!"
."No, it's mine," contradicted the
other.
Argument was succeeded by investi-
cation and investigation by proceed
ings in the West Side court, where Mrs.
Maud L. Jackson was arraigned yester-
day, charged with bigamy by Jackson.
