TALE OF TWO CITIES Attempted Suicide on Train With Poison From Woman's Hair, Was Arrested in Toronto and Was *- Being Taken to Philadelphia. Philadelphia May 14. -Avery Mc- Clain and ham Bessie Smith, who were arrested in Toronto last week, the _woman on a charge of taking the jewels of her employer without per- mission, and the man as an accom- plice, to -day endeavored to commit suicide as the train upon which they were passengers In custody of local de- tectives, pulled into the outskirts of the city. Although the young -woman was supposed to have been thoroughly searched, in some Manner she had succeeded in secreting a package of cyanide of potassitun in her hair. Pri- or to reaching for the cyanide, Miss Smith had been eating candy, She was just about to empty the box of cyan- ide into lied mouth when Detective Ulrich, who had the couple in charge, noticed the poison label upon the box, He made a hasty grab for it and the woman struggled. She scratched and bit at the detective and he endeavored to pinion her arms without hurting her. In the melee, the box containing the cyanide dropped and she yelled to McClain, her fellow -prisoner, "Swallow it Av, swallow it! End. your trou- bles now. Don't let them send you to prison." McClain made a. movement as if to follow her instrnetnons and 'Chihli transferred the attack from the girl to the man. Eventually, both were subdued, and they vsere brought here without further trouble. Until the girl reached the city limits she was gay, chatting with the detective and giving him all possible information which might lead to the recovery of the jewels which she had stolen. She gave him the addresses of the loan offices where some of the jewelry had been pledged and said that she had friends here- who would come to her rescue and reim- burse Mrs. Margaret Jones, the rightful owner ofthe jewels. e•et MAILS TO SKEENA.

The action, which Is with- out precedent in the annals of the church in this state, follows the intro- dnction into the last Legislature pro- viding for the abolition of the corpora- tion sole of the Portland diocese by which control of all church property is vested in the bishop. This bill, which wan backed by a pe- tition signed by nearly 000 Roman Catholics, sought to place the manage - 'talent of the property of the church in Maine, in the hands of a board. of direc- tors, It Was adversely reported on by the legislative committee, Nvhieh con- sideree it was overwhelmingly defeated in the House. The men mentioned in the bislaopes decree signed the petition as "members of the executive of the Fre» eh -A merit% n Rome n Catholic Church of Maine." They are Godfrey S. Dupree, attorney-at-law; Dr. George Precourt and Dr. Albert C. Maynard, prominent physicians; Albert J. Deland and Alfred Bonean, editor and publish- er of a weekly newspaper, all of Blade - ford, and John B. Couture, of Lewis- ton. In the letter read in the churches tos day it. is announced that these mon have been interdicted, the rights and privileges of the church and the recep- tion of the sacrament.

Mr. James Johnston, a farmer near here, purcha.s- edfrom a merchant a quantity of salts and administered an ordinary dose to a cow, whioh died almost immediately. The supposed medicine proved to be so- dium nitrate instead of the salts ord- ered. The merchant declined. to settle for the cow 'saying las had purchased the article in good faith from a London wholeeale home, The action followed and judOent was reserved by his Hon- or Judge Ermatinger. It appears that there is it. further complication owing to the faet that the London wholesalers claim they did net personally supply the dreg, but that when the order was received, not having the article in stock they direct- ed firm in Montreal to forward a keg of salts direct to their Springfield ens - tomer. There is much curiosity excited by the case and the public are wonder- ing where the liability will eventually end. *44 "In Wen there is strength." iittotet the Wier Ony.

Trial Arising Out of the Buck Stove & Range Co. Case. Company May Proceed Against Leaders With Civil Suit, Washington, May 15. -Setting: eside the sentencee of imprisonment impoeed by the Supreme Court a the Distriet of Columbia for alleged disobedience of a boycott injunction, the Supreme Court of the United Stetee to -day held that Samuel Gonapers, John ;Mitchell and Frank. Morrison, President, Vice -Presi- dent and Secretary respectively of the sernerican Federation of Labor, had beet erroneously sentenced to jail on a charge of contempt of a local eourt. The Court uuanimotisly held that the only senteoces that could. be imposed upon the labor leaders were lines. In so holding the Supreme Court found that the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia and the Supreme Conn of the District erred in treating the contempt proeeedings as a -criminal ease and not a civil one. The effect of holding the pro- ceedings a civil one was to make jail sentences imposaible. Hence the jail sen- tencee had to be set aside. To correct the error, the ease was sent beck to the local courts, with direction that it be dismiesed. At the same time the court expressly made it possible for civil proeeedirigs to be instigated against the labor men and the Buck Stove ets Range Co., at whose instance the oriel - nal contempt ease was brought. 0, The court was led to hold that the contempt proceedings in thie case must be civil in nature, because criminal pun - ;aliment is exercised by- cootie. to force persons to do acts commanded. In the present ease the court took the view that the labor men were being sent to jail not to make them do something the court ordered because of "something they had done." Dimino& as all the differences betoseen the labor men by the Buck Stave & Range Co. have been adjudicated, includ- ing the boycott case, out of which the contempt proceedings arose, to -day's de- cision ni probably .t.11e laat fa m tale action.

WOMEN'S VOTES. Woman's Suffrage Bill May be Passed by Commons. London, May 14. -It is by no means certain that the necessary facilities for' the further progress of g(he wo- man's suffrage bill during the present session of Parliament- will be refused by the Government. It is reported that, in view of the impeeseively large majority by •whioh the second reading was carried, Mr. Lloyd -George and other members of the Cabinet who favor this meae.ure are of thit. opinion that the two or three days necessary for the comple- tion of its remaining stages in the House of Commons osught not to be denied, and they will, it is .expeoted, pressthis view upon the Prime Min- mter; who is the moat formidable op- ponent of the bill in the ranks of the Government. Although Mr.' Asquith is naturally reluctant to do anything toward facilitating the progress of the hill, it is thought that he may recognize the tactical advantage la passing it on to the House of Lord, where it would, probability, be rejected. By that means the active hostility of the militant women euffragiste in the constituencies would be deflected from the Government and turned upon the Lords. The obvious ad- vantages of suede a tranefer of an- tagonism, from the Ministerial point of view, may quite conceivably tempt Mr. Asquith to grant thrs neceeteary facilities and allow the bill to be sent to the upper House in time for it to be dealt with there before the prenent session closes.
