WOMAN SUSPECTED OF
MURDER In MEXICO

that I would know within twenty

and 1 think / saw three different
revolvers she had with her. She
had great roll of money-there
must have been $4,000 at least.
I'VE started originally for San An

going to meet a man she knew
there. We stopped at waxahachie
and were eating in a restaurant
when a town marshal came in. She
became frightened and we left i'm

find her. She told me where I could
find her. Her brother was supposed
to meet her near Ell Paso.
The woman appeared in a state
of almost nervous collapse. She was

be arrested, and every time we saw
an officer she would go to pieces
with fear"

Senator Borah said he was op-
posed to any further restrictions
upon the people
Representative Caraway said:
I'VE need repeal Of most Of the
restrictions now in existence and a
restoration Of personal liberty. We
must give back to the people the

Our success has been due to the

Upon their program. 1t did not in

| dai Y routine sessions and the man
layers of the candidates continue to
hustle and hope and predict. the
real fight for the moment has
switched back to the league of ma
tons.
1t centers on the question OF
whether the republican party is
going to declare flatly against the
| league of nations or whether It IL
going to declare for a league with
reservations.
While the delegate. were assem-
bling in the Coliseum today to
make Senator Lodge and the re-
maindor of the temporary organi-
zation the permanent one, and to
hear nothing more exciting than
a prayer, and a speech by Chaun-

tIons fight was being carried on In

representing the reservationists
and the irreconcilahles were gath

nothing before 1t but to hear the

maintain it is possible to do so un-

They contend the platform could

Chicago, June 9.-Second day
proceedings of the republican ma
tional convention, lasting barely
one hour and dealing entirely with
routine, moved as smoothly and
swiftly today as hoop rolling
down hill
/. There was shout of approval
from the delegates as they adopted
the report or the committee on
permanent organization by which
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
was made permanent chairman,
which cut out a lot of speech
making. The convention gave its
presiding officer a big demonstra-
ton.
The report of the committee on
credentials, over which some dele
gates had expected a fight, was
adopted without a flutter, as was
the rules committee report which
gave women representation on the
national executive committee.
Dcpew Criticises Wilson.
With no report from the plat
form makers, the crowd was ready
to hear a few speeches and called
first for Chauncey NJ Depew of
New York, veteran of many con-
yention battles. 1T cheered Justify
as Mr., Depew turned his oratorical
weapons on President Wilson, and
especially when he declared that in
the old days when Washington
found it necessary to deal at close
hand with foreign powers. he
stayed on the job at home and sent
the chief justice as his emissary.
There We're scattering cries from
the floor for other speakers, but
Chairman Lodge, to give the con-
vention a sensation, presented Mrs.
Margaret Hill McCarter of Kan
sas, the first woman ever accorded
the privilege of addressing it.
She was thrilled by the warmth
of the greeting, and in brief ad-
dress pledged the loyal support of
millions of women voters to the re-
publican cause.
Calls for "Uncle joe"
