MAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO KILL HERSELF Despondent Over Heing Meld cken Stealing Charge and bility to Secure Amount of Ball Asked. Following the third unsuccessful attempt of Mrs. Lizzle Thordsen, an inmate of the county jail, to end her life, Jailer Martin decided yesterday that the woman was a fit subject for examination by the commis- sioners on insanity and accordingly filed an information against her. At the hear- ing the board decided that the woman was not a fit subject to be committed to the insane asylum and ordered her discharged on her promising to refrain from attempt- ing to take her life. She was accordingly taken back to her cell in the county jail. Mrs. Thordsen is awaiting trial on a charge of being implicated in a number of chicken thefts for which her husband, John Thordsen, Is now serving a two years’' sentence in the penitentiary at Fort Madison. Thordsen attributed his career of thievery to the bad influence of his wite. Mrs. Thordsen was tried on one charge after being brought back from Cherokee, Ia., but the jury acquitted her. Assistant Attorney Hess, however, decided to thy her on another charge in connection with the same alleged robbery and she was recommitted to the county jail. On her acquittal Mrs. Thordsen expected she would be allowed to go to the home of her father, where her young son is, and became very despondent when informed the county authorities intended to place her on trial again. Her bail had been placed at §500 and her father was able to turnish a bond for $30, but the authorities declined to reduce the amount. The failure to secure bail added to her despondency. Some weeks ago while in a fit of de- spondency she attempted to end her life by turning on the gas in her cell, but she failed, although as a result she became serlously sick and was unable to leave her bed for over a week. A week or 8o after | she was able tc leave her bed she at- tempted to hang herselt by tying a pair of shoe laces around her neck and attach- ing the ends to one of the bars of her cell. A female prisoner occupying the same ward notified Jafler Martin and Mrs, Thordsen was cut down. Yesterday morning she made another at- bon, but the ribbon was not sufficiently strong to support her weight. This third attempt to take her life decided Jaller Martin that the woman was evidently mentally deranged and he had her taken before the commissioners. Mrs. Thordsen ever since her arrest has been serfously {ll, suffering from a disease needing careful treatment, and Jaller Mar- tin stated yesterday that the proper place for the unfortunate woman was In the hospital and not in jail, where she cannot recelve the treatment she showld.. . It was sald yesterday that a nmumber of charitable women who have Interested. themselves in Mrs. Thordsen's case will use thelr efforts to elther secure her dis- charge or release on decreased bail.

FRANCIS Exercises of Unusual Interest tract Large Number of People, Ate The thirty-second annual commencement exercises of 8t. Francis academy last night were witnessed by a gathering of the friends of the institution and graduates which packed the handsome new audi- torfum to the doors. The commencement exercises at St. Francis academy have al- ways been noted for the excellence and |many pretty features of the program and | those last night were no exception to the rule. | The theme of the program was “The Holy Grall” the legend of which was effectively told by Miss Elizabeth Shea while Miss Anna Stapleton told of the| {spiritual significance of the legend. Miss | | Mary Duff had “The Individual Quest’ as | her part and Miss Phoebe Zessin that of “No Man's Quest is Unto Himself Alone; “Loyalty to the Quest’ was the theme as- igned to Miss Elizabeth Morris, while | “Wandering Fires" was the subject of Miss Noan's recitation. Pretty features of the exercises were the .drill entitled “The Revel of the Nymphs" and the “Poses Plastique.” In' the drill the young women, daintily gowned in white and carrying garlands of leaves |and flowers, were led by Miss Frances Mc- { Millen with a grace and effectiveness rarely | {seen. The “Poses Plastique” were prettily | carried out by the Misses Gertrude Mar- tin, Anna Stapleton and Phoebe Zessin. The musical numbers were no less pleas- ing than the other features of the exer-| cises. Miss Eleanor Riggs demonstrated she was a singer with a sweet soprano volee. Her solo, "I Do Not Ask, Oh Lord," | was very prettily rendered and at the close - | the singer was loudly applauded in vain| | efforts to induce her to respond to an en-| | core, but the length of the program pro- hibited her complying. The effect of Miss | | Riggs' solo was greatly enhanced by the| | accompaniment of Miss Lulu Tholl on the {plano and Prof. Max Baumelster on the iviolln. To Miss Gertrude Martin was as-| | stgned the task of reciting the class poem | |and most effectively did she perfom it. Miss Lulu Tholl delighted the audience |with a plano solo and the Misses Mary | Duft, Frances Flangan, Phoebe Zessin and |Naomi Hamilton gave the grand march from “Tannhauser,’ showing that they were & quartet of musicians. The exercises closed with the presenta- tion of diplomas to the nine graduates— | Eleanor Riggs, Elizabeth Shea, Anna Sta- pleton, Mary Duff, Lulu Tholl, Phoebe Zes- | 8in, Noan Wickham, Elizabeth Morris and | Gertrude Martin—by Rev. Father Dowling of Omaha, who made a short address to the class. Matters in Distriet Court.

IOWA BETTER WORK AT HOSPITALS Oenference Lays Plans for Soentifio and | Or'ginal Research. ALL TO BE ALLIED WITH STATE UNIVERSITY Auctioneers Want a State Board to Pass on Qualifications of Those Who Are to Cry Sales. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 17.—(Special)—~The conference of the heads of state institu- tions with the members of the Board of Control today adopted the report of a com- last conference, consisting of the superintendents of state hospitals, on the subject of the betterment ofescientific work at the state institutions, and the suggestions thereln contained, which are to be transmitted to the legisla- ture by the Board of Control, may lead to innovation in the matter of sclentific study and investigation In this state. Messrs. Witte, Applegate and Crumpacker, Dr. Voldeng, who originally brought up the The report rec- ommends, In brief, that the sclentific work, particularly it relates to original re- search in the four state hospitals for the insane and the institution for the feeble minded, be consolidated under the guldance of a general director who shall preferably be assoclated with the State university, and who shall be competent to engage in this spectal work. The association with the State university is suggested because of the advantages he will there have of well equipped laboratories as well as the co- operation of men of advanced and special knowledge in other and contributory sclences. There shall then be a medical as- sistant who shall have psychological and pathological training and be able to do ad- vanced work under the guldance of the general director at each hospital. The committee would then require at the several institutions that the personal and clinfcal history of all cases be obtalned and kept with the greatest accuracy; that the super- intendents be legally empowered to order post-mortem examinations, ete. This mat- ter 18 to be taken up and pushed by the state board before the legislature. It would result, 8o the members belleve, in securing greater practical results in sclen- tific Investigation, which has thus far been much neglected at these state Inatitutions. An interesting paper was read by Super- intendent Greene of the Nebraska State hospital at Lincoln on the increase of in- nity and the way to prevent this in- crease. He declared that undoubtedly there is & positive increase in insanity in the civ- flised countries. As a reason for this he assigned, first, heredity, which it 8 shown in a cauge of most of the Insanity; second, is the .use of alcohol. and, third, is the prevalence of certain diseases polsoning the blood. He urged in regard to heredity, that it should be made forever impossible legally for persons known to be predis- posed to insanity to marry. A paper read by Judge Kinne of the state board followed ::mlhr lines and reached the same coneclu- jon. Plan for Decoration at 8t. Louis. Members of the Bfaté Capitol commission and of the St. Louis commission, at a con- ference today, lald plans for the decora- tion of the Towa bullding now being erected at the Bt. Louls exposition In a way that will surpass all other states. The matter was laid before the capitol commission in a letter from L. A. Palmer, in charge of the art work for the Jowa commission, in which he suggested that the capitol com- mission loan the exposition commission the mural decorations which are purchased for the adornment of the state capitol and which will probably be finished on can- vas by the time the exposition opens. This suggestion Is looked upon with favor by both commissions. It will be a way In Wwhich the state of Towa can have a most beautiful interior with comparatively small expense to the state.
