Takes All Kinds
To Make a World


The sheriff has a mean thief to swap
with the chief of police. It's the low
cockroach kind that Robin Hood would
scorn and like to tread under his boot
heel. Fer the kind the sheriff has dis
covered outside in the county is the
fit partner for the mean worm who
stole the growing bulbs out of Pc
tronella Petrowska's garden.
The other day stranger who had
purchased a second hand Ford run
about at Burlington, met an accident
on the Burlington road and was taken
to the hospital. Of course, i'll as he
was he was forced to leave his pur-
chase behind him. The next day when
he returned, he found that the car had
been stripped. Tires, spark plugs
seats, everything was gone; everything
but the motor and the husk.
It's a queer world, so it is, and the
things that do happen for no reason
at all! And speaking of robbed bulbs
and stripped cars, isn't it hard thing
now when you have planned to make
little dandelion wine of less than
one-half of one per cent, and you are
sitting at your breakfast and you see
a lady, total stranger, cross your
lawn and without by-your-leave at
all, help herself with a knife to all
the dandelion plants in sight?

BACK FOR CHANGE

FRANCE Is FIRM

Regardless Of Reply.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Genoa-The Russian reply to the al
ed memorandum, which was ready for
resentation this forenoon, was not de-
vered to the Allies as expected for
the last moment, after a conversa-
ION between Foreign Minister Tchit-
herin of Russia and Schanzer of Italy,
was decided the reply would have to
undergo some alteration.
M. Tchitcherin left Genoa at 200

Russian delegation. 1t was not ex-
pected therefore, that the reply could
be presented until tomorrow. The
fact that the delay was due to M.
Tchitcherin's visit to Signor Schanger
was regarded in some quarters as a
favorable indication.
In French circles the belief was ex-
pressed that an attempt was being
made to influence the Russians to
modify their reply so as to permit the
conference to continue.
Can early message from Genoa
this morning said that the Russian
replY- had been handed to the AL
lies at 1880 this morning. The

DIVORCED WIFE
TRIES SUICIDE
Mrs. V. Augustine Drains
Poison Cup at Edward
Street Home.
WORRY IS THE CAUSE
Former Husband Joins Victim
at Hospital, Where Hope
Is Held of Recovery.

Suffering from melancholia on &C.
count of worry over the condition of
her children, Mrs. Violet Augustine,
aged rs years and very attractive
young woman, attempted suicide by
taking carbolic acid at her apartments
at the home of Mrs. L. S. Kimball, $40
South Edwards street just after ten
o'clock Tuesday night. The suffering
woman was taken to the Kenosha hos
pital and after night of delerium
and hysteria it was said that she was
much improved this morning and that
she would recover. DR.. F. D. Curtiss
was called to attend Mrs. Augustine
after she had taken the carbolic acid.
The young woman is believed to have
swallowed only small portion of the
deadly acid. Her lips were badly
pulled up as result of the action of
the acid, but it is thought that little
of it reached vital organs.
Threatens to Leap in Lake.
Mrs. Augustine after she had par
TALLY recovered from the effects of the
acid appeared to be in deep state of
melancholia and she declared to- anxi-
Gus watchers at the bedside that if
she recovered from this attempt at
suicide that she would jump into the
lake. Friends declared that they were
hopeful that a little rest would do
much to restore her to health and she
is being given every possible care.
Mrs. Augustine is the divorced wife
of Edward Augustine who resides at
619 Fleet street She and her three
children had been living at the home
of Mrs Kimball. The latter had just
purchased business on the west side
and early Tuesday evening she went
to see Mrs. Augustine to inform her
that she would not be able to take
care Of the children for the present
or until she had built her new home.
Already in depressed mood, the news
acted as a further agitation of Mrs.
Augustine,s spirits, it is believed.
Worry over what might happen to
the children is believed to have in
famed her mind.
Soon after her visitor left, Mrs.
Augustine procured some carbolic acid
and drank the bitter dose. This was
just after ten o'clock, and f"T
minutes later the police received a
call for the ambulance. Officers Chase
and Bauschelt responded and hurried
the victim to the Kenosha hospital.
Augustine at the Hospital
The divorced husband went to the
hospital shortly after Mrs. Augustine
had been received there and he show
ed deep concern over her condition. He
was not admitted to the hospital room
in which she was being cared for but
he remained at the institution until
the physicians attending his former
wife declared that they believed her
out of danger.

10y Associated PfeSS Leased W1re.)
Milwaukee, Wis. - A fight is expect
ed to develop at meeting tonight be-
tween the supporters of Attorney Gen.
eral William j. Morgan and his oppon-
ents when delegates from Milwaukee
county are to be chosen to attend the
Republican state conference called by
the Committee of Forty-Four to meet
in Milwaukee June a at which candi-
dates for United States senator and a
state ticket will be chosen to go before
the primaries September A.
DR.. W. E. Garfield, president of Car
roll college has been named to deliver
the principal address at tonight's meet
ing. and is expected to outline the prin-
ciples upon which the fight against rad
icalism in Wisconsin is to be based.
The meeting will be organized in the
usual manner by the selection of a
chairman and the appointment of vari-
Gus committees, the most Important of
which will be the resolutions commit
tee.
Arthur +. Barry has been mentioned
as chairman. 1t is understood that sup
porters of Attorney General Morgan for
governor have a candidate for chair
man. and will attempt to elect him. 1t
is also understood they will oppose the
adoption of resolutions which fail to
instruct the Milwaukee delegation for
Mr.. Morgan.
Supporters of Morgan assert that as
the first candidate, subject to the &C
ton of the June conference, to come
before the people, he has a right to
expect support of the delegates from
his own county, regardless of other
candidates in seeming conflict. They
assert it is the purpose of county con-
ference to elect delegates in support
of candidates and that they have no
other function or purpose.
Assertion is made by Morgan forces
that every detail of the county confer
ence organization mas been arranged
from selection of a chairman to mem
bership of various committees. If this
attempt to control the county confer
ence is approved, the necessity for
holding the conference is not appar.
ent, it is said.
At state or county headquarters OF
the Committee of Forty-Four no com
ment was made on Mr.. Morgans charg-
es of conspiracy, it being said there
the matter is entirely up to the county
conference which will act as d majority
of the delegates to Decide

TODAY's QUESTION:.

If you were offered position at
$1,000 a year or college career which
would you choose?
ANSWERS.
I. Witter, SIS Symmonds street, en-
ployer = If l had it to do all over
again | would certainly choose col
lege career before I'd want to tie my
self down to $1,000 job. If man is
worth that much before he goes to col
lege how much more will he be worth
after he's gone through college? A
man cant5get too much education.
H. Campbell, 662 Superior street,
grocer - If l needed the money very
bad I'd go to work. You'll find just as
college as those who did. If it's a
matter of dollars and cents I'll take
the dollars and cents and let expert
ence teach me.
Miss Madeline Ouden,. Sixth avenue,
dancing instructor - certainly would
choose the college career. know l
had chance to go to work before l
went to college and I'm not sorry that
I went away to school, and know that
l never shall be.
Alex Hoppe, 1118 Sellick avenue 1
don't think that $1,000 is enough to
sacrifice college education. I think
that the experience and the training
a student would get in college is worth
many times that much and he is just
as sure of getting good job when he's
through.

Housewives
Delight

Clean linen is undoubtedly the
delight of the good housewife.
It establishes her reputation
among her friends as first
class housekeeper.
The fact is, in most cases, the
housewife herself has nothing,
or very little, to do with this,
for it is the laundress whose
frst-class work makes the linen
clean and white.
The kind of laundresses that
do that sort of work are the ones
who ask for places through the
Want AID columns. Look for
these requests and ask for one of
this kind, when your laundress
leaves, and your linen will al
ways be source of pride to YOU.

France to Stand Firm.

Genoa-In a statement to the Asso-
ciated Press today before anything
definite was known concerning the
Russian reply, the French delegation
announced that Frances attitude ton
the foreign property issue as regard
ing Russia would probably remain
firm, whatever attitude Belgium might
eventually adopt.
The attitude of the French delega-
tion is the result of public opinion in
France, which is bringing great pres
sure to bear on the government to
bake no concessions regarding the in
volatility of property rights, the
statement says. French industrial
companies, it adds, have recently con-
ferred with Premier Poincare and
urged him to take a strong stand for
the restoration of foreigners property
as otherwise they argue, future in
vestments in Russia would be hopeless,
as the French public would refuse to
advance funds when it had no assur-
ance that property rights would be
respected.

BIG LABOR LEADERS
HELD IN BOMB CASE
Big Tim Murphy is Among Trio Taken
by the Chicago Police Just
After Noon Today.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.}

/
Chicago, Ill.-The police today raid
ed the Building Trades labor head
quarters and arrested three of Chica-
go's biggest labor leaders-"Big Tim"
Murphy, Fred Nader and Cornelius
Shea-in connection with bombings
and shootings which early today re-
suited in the death Of two policemen
and serious injury of third.
Murphy, known as Chicago's "labor
car" is out on bail after having been
sentenced to Seven years in the peni-
Tertiary in connection with the four
hundred thousand dollar Union Sta
ton mail robbery. Nader is presi-
dent of the Building Trades council,
while Shea heads the Transfers
Union. All records were seized.
| Among twenty-three Union members
arrested during the morning, was John
Rafferty,, also charged with implication
in the mail robbery with Murphy and
an intimate friend of the latter's.
Rafferty, was identified by witnesses
as member of a squad which bombed
many buildings early today, and which
!
men. The bombings, with the result
ant killings, were believed by police
! to have been in protest of the Lands
wage awards in the building trades
and part of general labor war
fare against employers of building
tradesmen.
Bombs were set off in two buildings
and numerous other structures stoned.
Chief of Police Fitzmorris, in order
ing the arrest of Murphy, Nader and
Shea, issued the following statement;
"The slaughter of the two police Of
fcers while they were on duty, is an
inevitable result of tactics employed
by Murphy, Nader and Shea and the
other hoodlums and ex-convicts who
have been going about posing as
leaders of labor.
"Now that they want war with the
police, they shall have it. They are
just as guilty of the murder of these
policemen killed last night as were
the anarchists of the police killing in
the haymarket riot"
Chief Fitzmorris announced that
every important official in the building
trades council was under arrest.
The bombings and murders early
today eliminated series of disorders
and charges of crookedness and graft
which have been going on for some
time. Recently the states attorneys
Office conducted special grand jury
inquiry into the trials Of various labor
leaders who we're found not guilty of
graft, extortion, murder and other of
lenses although the state seemed to
have clear cut cases. In one case a
juror confessed that he was paid 700
to vote not guilty and that he was
promised $1,000 for every juror he
could persuade to vote the same way.
Judge Hickman Scanlon, in charging
this grand jury, declared that labor
in Chicago was ruled by gun-men, thugs
and ex-convicts. He called on the city
to rid itself of them or become ga
race of yellow men,"
Bombings during the past year have
become so frequent that they no longer
attract much attention unless accom-
panied by other violence. Numerous
laborers who have attempted to return
to work, under the Lands award which
was rejected by the trades unions
after they agreed - accept it, have
been slugged.
