She was unconscious when hel
stepmother returned from Phila-
delphia, where she is employed as
a hostess in a tearoom.
She left a purple leather diary
given to her by her stepmother Tor
a Christmas present.
Excerpts from the diary read:

been found dead in New York and
they are saying terrible things.
March /. Every one Is so nice to

her Stepmother) I guess I'll

March 2. They are saying so
many things it is awful.
March 3. I just can't live any
longer. This has got to be too
much for me. I am going to end
it all.
The final entry, made a few
minutes before she ended her life,
was in the form of a will:

Love Story Revealed

Herbert Trout, who is 90, is en-
ployed as a clerk in a commission
house in Philadelphia. He is a
member Of the Audubon ice hockey
team, known as the Yellow Jack
cts, and it was while playing with
the team in the Audubon rink last
fall that he met Bonita.
II didn't realize that she regarded
me In a serious way as described in
the diary" Trout said today. IT
used to see her often at the rink
while we were playing.
"She seemed then to be in mo-
rose mood. She talked hazily Of
her future, and said that she feared
she would have to leave town. She
said she might take commercial
course somewhere and try to earn
her own living.
II saw her skating with other
people that night, and also alone.
Some Of her friends came in, but
all agreed not to talk to her about
her mother and to try to make
things as pleasant as possible for
her.
II liked Bonita, and I saw her on
a number Of occasions, but I was
not in love with her, and I didn't
know she regarded me as other
than an acquaintance"

MALT TAX ADOPTED
House Adopts Levy Amid
QuipS About Dry State.

Although it has turned a deaf
ear to pleas that Indiana's rigid
liquor enforcement statute should
be weakened, the house of repre-
sentatives now tacitly admits that
the state is wet.
The lower house Tuesday after
noon passed, 52-37, the Galloway
Black bill placing tax on all malt
and wort sold in Indiana despite
sarcastic and ironic statements by
several representatives that such
taxation is useless when Indiana is
such a dry state"
The measure, which failed to
gain a constitutional majority on
its first vote last week, would tax
malt at the rate of 2 cents a pound
and wort, or unfermented beer, at
rate of cents a gallon. The
original provisions of the bill called
for taxes of 5 cents a pound and
Is cents a gallon respectively.

Feared Worlds Scorn

Bonita only last Saturday had
read an interview which told of her
fathers divorce action against
Vivian Gordon.
In this statement attributed to
the master in the divorce case, 1t
was said that Vivian was common
law wife, having married Bischoff
in South Carolina in 1912, three
years before Benitas birth.
Some Of her playmates called her
ugly names subsequently, it was
said.
This with the revelations coming
from New York that her mother
had turned adventures apparently
preyed on her mind until she felt
she was no longer able to fac. a
scornful world.
The New York reports, however
had made it clear that no matter
what paths Vivian Gordon NAV
have trod, she kept alive through
1T all a love for Bonita.
1t was consuming desire for
'v1ndication, vindication, vtndica-
tion"-aS she wrote in a recent
letter-that apparently led Vivian
to her death.
She had harbored the thought
that If she could wipe out charge,
allegedly framed against her, that
she would thus stand rehabilitated
In the eyes Of her daughter and
thus be able to get her guardianship
again.

Insurance Bill
Sent TO Senate
After argument

Increased protection for policy
holders in reciprocal insurance
companies today awaited senate
consideration of the McKeSson-
Bates-Dean bill which passed the
house Tuesday night, 81 to is, after
stormy debate.
The measure would raise the re-
serve requirement Of reciprocal
companies to conform with that Of
stock insurance companies, by re-
quiring firms doing business In q
single county to deposit $25, 900
with the insurance commissioner
and those operating In more than
one county, 100000 Twenty-Five
thousand is the present requirement.
Representative Jacob Weiss (Dem.,
Marion) led successful fight TO
defeat efforts of Representatives
Gerritt M. Bates and Russell J..
Dean (Dem., Marion), two of the
bills authors, to amend it elimi-
mating the necessity Of the larger
reciprocal companies posting an
additional $4,000 and giving COM
panies until 1884 instead of until
1882, to comply with the act.
Fifty thousand policyholders
who thought they held insurance
contracts we're left holding the bag
when some Of these companies
failed" Weiss declared. Reciprocal
companies have no capital other
than that deposited with the insur..
ance commission. If they are un-
able to raise this amount to 500, 900
they have no business TO be op-
Grating"

FINANCE BILL
State Appropriations Re-
duCed Only $421, 900.

With half Of its journey completed
and only pruned to the extent of
$421, 799, the biennial appropriation
act now totaling SIS, aS5, 491, is ex-
pected to be considered by the SEN

mansion maintenance fund which
also was cut in half.
The bill passed the house $50
Monday after almost two days had
been spent in discussing and prun-
ing the measure.
But to the disappointment of
Democratic leaders who had. been
urging cuts totaling a million dol
lars, slashes were less than half that
figure.
Besides the pruning of the Gov-
ernor's two funds, the house cut
SIG, 900 from the $50, 5000 allotted the
state industrial board for salaries,
500, 900 from the $4,000 conserva-
ton departments land appropri-
alton and $4,000 from that depart
ment's operating expenses.
Appropriation for the state auto
mobile lists was cut from $4,000
to $500, and the Office Of state at
tendance officer was wiped out by
cutting the salary of Miss Blanche
Merry from $1,000 to 500.
Attempt to add 100000 to the
appropriation for the Central State
hospital in order that additions may
be constructed to house the inmates
of the Julietta hospital, failed.

their fight in the senate.
Friends of the naval militia, led
by Representative Russell W.. Smith
(Dem., La Portet, restored the $40
900 appropriation cut out Monday
and the Indiana navy is saved, tenn
porarily at least.
