EXTENDS TO ALL CLASSES Under Provisions of Measure Intro- duced by North Dakota Senator the Government Would Undertake to Receive Deposits and to Pay Inter est Thereon, the Annuity to Begin at Age of Sixty. Washington, Feb. 19. — Senatol Heansbrough has introduced a bill pro- viding for a system of old age an- nuities designed to take the place of the demand for an old age pension for government employes, but extending to all classes. Under it the govern: ment would undertake to receive de posits and to allow 3 per cent com: pound interest thereon. - If a person at the age of twenty years deposited 25 cents a week at the age of sixty years such person would be allowed an annuity of $129.91. In the case of death of the annuitdnt prior to reaching sixty the amount deposited, together with the interest, would be paid to his or her heirs. . “It is also provided,” explained Mr. Hansbrough, “that a person of any age may deposit a lump sum equal to the amount they would have accumu- lated had such person become a de- positor at the age of twenty and re- ceive the annuity at the close of the sixty-year period. The minimum an- nuity is fixed at $50 and the maximum at $1,200 for any one person, but the head of a household may make old age deposits for the members of the family.” FLEETS URITE IN MIDOCEAN Arnold's Squacron Joins Returning Battleships.

WOMAN LOANED NORD $690 Five Dollars and a Kiss All the Re- turns She Recelved. * Kansas City, Feb. 19.—Charles E. Nord, who attained notoriety recently because of numerous love letters found in his trunk by the police from women all over the United States, was arraigned here at the instance of one of his alleged victims charged with obtaining money on false pre- tenses. Nord entered a plea of not guilty and was bound over to the criminal court. Five dollars and a kiss are all the returns that the prose- quting witness, Mrs. Carrie A. Ham- {lton of this city, testified that she re- ceived for $600 which she gave Nord in one lump and about $90 in cash gjven at other times. “I had only 35 cents in the world when he left me” said Mrs. Hamil- ton. Nord went to Omaha and did not return, so Mrs. Hamilton swore out a warrant for his arrest. Following his arrest the police unearthed hundreds of love letters from women in all parts of the country, all written in endearing terms and many of them showing that their authors had sup- plied Nord with funds.

They first attempted to march in procession, but their line being broken up by the police they mingled with a crowd of the curious ‘who had gathered to witness the scene and sauntered singly toward Downing street. The police, bowever, had compltte- 1y blocked all entrances to the thor- oughfare and twenty of the more mil- itant suffragettes, who tried to break through the lines, were arrested charged with interfering with the po- lice. For a time there was a scene of great disorder, women time and time agaln throwing themselves valiantly against the double line of police, only to be forced back, or, if they were unusually persistent, to be handed over to constables, who marched them off to the police station amid cheers, hoots and hisses from the throng. The police finally cleared the street and the women who were not arrested returned to their hall, where they were addressed by leaders. MRS.

Springfield, -1ll, Feb. 19.—For the first time in many days excitement was injected into the deadlock on the vote for United States senator in the general assembly by Representative John L. Flannigen of East St. Louls, ‘who, in explaining his vote, which he shifted from Hopkins to Shurtleff, de- clared it his belief that no man now in the race could be elected. The action of Flannigen was regard- ed as indicative of a coming shift by the other Southern Illinois men and may be the entering wedge which WIII result in a dark horse capturing the toga. After the close of the session legis- lators commented on the announce- ment of Mr. Flannigen and recalled that he had nominated Senator Hop- kins on the floor of the house. The opposition to Senator Hopkins was jauick to assert that the shift of Flan: | nigen could be regarded as a with- drawal of the candidacy of thé man ‘whom he had nominated. The Hop- kins men were apparently undisturbed by the desertion and were firm as ever in their declaration of ultimate victory.

The automobile was brought to a stop as soon as possible, but not until the girl’s leg had been almost torn from her body.
