No doubt recognition as full hedged senator
for single day very dear TO the heart of that
old lady OF eightyseven years. and tho public will
find sympathy for her determination TO so down
in history as tho first woman senator,-but still,
was this action fair to that woman who will IN
some coming election be regularly elected by tho
people to represent them in the senate and who will
serve her regular term, with all the responsibility
and work that falls on such a representative? 1t
seems that the honor of being the first woman
senator should go rather to this last, than to the
ono who has Just received It, and that the laurels
should have been reserved, in spite of the touching
appeal in the desire OF Mrs. FELTON, for the recoy-
milton.

SAYS INVESTIGATOR

Portland, Oct. 21-There is moth
ing wrong in St. vincent's hospital
50 far as sanitary conditions are
concerned, according to Dr.. George
Parrish, in a report submitted to
Mayor Baker yesterday. Dr.. Par
rish was designated by the council
to make an investigation OF the
institution, an inquiry that was
sought by the sisters in charge Of
the hospital. Sister Lueretia, ex-
nun, in recent address, had charged
insanitary conditions prevail there.
Yesterday thorough inspection
was made from the attic above the
sixth floor to and including tho
basement" the report reads. II
found everything absolutely correct
nothing wrong. For five years at
intervals of few days, I have
passed through this institution and
during that time / have never made
a suggestion which was not immed-
lately complied with by the sisters.
At no time have they ever placed
the slightest obstacle in the way
of the health bureau"
The report also points out that Q
few years ago the American College
Of Surgeons convened and drafted
requirements. necessary for a hos
pital to meet in order to be enroll
ed in membership"
"These requirements were very
high and difficult to meet" Dr..
Parrish says, ''and none but hospi-
tails of the highest type are able
to obtain membership in this order.
"a committee selected from mem-
bers Of the College Of Surgeons,
acting as judges in these inspec-
tions of hospitals, passed st. Vim

membership"

ALL POLITICAL
PARTIES ANXIOUS
ps~1
FOR ELECTION

4 London. Oct. 21.-(By Associ-
ated Press. y All the political
parties welcome the prospect of
an immediate general election,
which it is recognized, could not
have long been delayed in any
case.
The conservatives especially
feel that it would greatly
strengthen their adminSstration
If they were able to get a defi-
mite mandate from the country.
Moreover, formation of the new
ministry now would entail about
15 bye elections, involving much
loss of time, with the possible
prospect of a general election in
the near future confronting them.
The conservative party meeting
for the election of Mr.. Bonar Law
as leader will be held Monday
afternoon at the Hotel Cecil, the
Carlton club not affording enough
room to accommodate the pros
pective attendance. This meeting
will be followed, according to the
best information, by announce
ment of the dissolution of parlia-
ment, either Monday night or
Tuesday.
Expectation continues gener-
ally that the polling will take
place November 28. AS ratifica-
| tion of the Irish treaty is no long
er contentious matter, it is be-
lieved it can be disposed Of within
the specified time, and parlia-
ment is likely to rise for its
Christmas recess early in Decem
ber.
If the conservatives come int
y power as a result of the election
their policy, it is declared, will b.
not to aim so much at Legislative
: achievement as to concentrate up
on "sound administration ant
economy. Among the chic
features of their foreign polio,
will be the maintenance an,
strengthening of the entente wit
France and recasting of tn
British Near Eastern policy.

MURDER
MYSTERY SOON
TO Be SOLVED

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 81.
Supported by the information in
an affidavit by the witness to the
murders of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall, rector of the Epis-
copal church Of st. John the Evan
gelist. and his choir leader, Mrs
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, authori-
ties today appeared confident that
the mystery soon is to be solved.
With guards keeping leading
characters in the drama under
constant surveillance, no fear was
felt that suspected persons might,
disappear. Detectives were en-
gagged in running down details con
sidered by the officials essential
before making an arrest.

Reports of the discovery o. a

of the slain rector, discussed the
killing.
There is no blood on my

FAILED TO prove
TWINS WERE: DEAD
IF NOT DOLLS

Hammond, Ind, Oct. 21-Mrs.
Hazel McNally, declared by her So
year-old husband to be the mother
of "doll baby" twins, was freed of
charge of murder today when
Judge Henry G. Cleveland ruled
the state had failed to prove the
infants are not still alive.
The 26-year-old wife, who has
grinned and giggled through four
days of the preliminary hearing,
while witnesses attempted to fasten
on her the charge of double muir
der, collapsed and fell fainting to
the floor as the cheers and applause
of $50 women courtroom fans rang
in her ears.
By strange paradox of the law,
the defense which maintained the
twins "born" to Mrs. McNally last
December were but inanimate ere
ations of china and straw dressed
in baby clothes, won its victory be-
cause the state was unable to prove
that the mystery babies were moi
at the present moment living
breathing human beings with actua
flesh and blood.
The missing corpus delicti-law'
years phroseology for the body Of
the crime"-proved a stumbling
block to the state and because Of
it the mystery of the McNally
twins, whether they ever existed
whether they were only dressed-ul
dolls, or whether, as the state con
tended, they were first real babie
and then dolls, remains unsolved.
