 s.The claimant and her husband W4fe represented by competent C6unsel and he personally prepared the award and stipulation, which award was subsequently signed by Commissioner Williams, (the late Frederic M. Williams) at the re- quest of all parties. The present claimant was 2 party to that stip- ulation and agreement and he ex- pressly released the respondend from any and all claims which she should have, either as wife or possible dependent.
 ssThe respondents have paid a subsfantial sum of money in adjust inkA claim which they disputed as as to liability and which certainly was doubtful as to disease from which the employe was suffering. The terms of the stipulation were carried out in every detail and l do not believe that the commission CT has the power at this time to make an award in favor Of the pre- sent claimant.

 Then last July Miss Mczechnie informed him that she would be- come a mother within five months. Edwards told her they would elope August 1. But the night of July
 30, he took her swimming at liar. vey's lake in the mountains near Edwardsville. e
 They put on their bathing suits in Edwards car which Miss Grain had bought for him. Edwards con. cealed black jack in his blouse. They waded out; then Miss Mo- Kechnie began swimming. When
 she swan past him, he allegedly hit her with the blackjack.
 The body was found several days later. Edwards, arrested immes diately, gave three confessions. In court he repudiated them all, claiming that Miss McKechnie died of shock when her body came in
 contact with cold lake water that he blackjacked her only to make her death appear accidental.

ComnitteeWoman Of
Nebraska Attacks
Their Lethargy

Women in this country are in
a state of "superorganization."
Socially and culturally. their
organizations are plentiful-from
one end of the country to the
other. They have clubs for nice
little tea parties and for lectures
on climatic conditions in Mesopo-
tamia.
But politically their organiza-
ton lacks strength. They have
much to do to perfect a power
fuI political organ in many Sec
tions of the country.
NebraSkan Speaks
This was the comment today
made here by Mrs. Charles G.
Ryan, Democratic national COM
mitteewoman of Nebraska, who is
in Washington to get firsthand
information on the workings of
the new Administration.
Mrs. Ryan urged women all
over the country to organize them
selves in preparation for the com
ing congressional elections and to
do it in such a way that their Or
ganization will be a permanent
thing. She said:
There is q certain lethargy
