To the girl had come the dis- tracting revelation of the consequences of love yielding to temptation, and death seemed the only solution of the tragic problem of shielding her loved ones and herself from the disgrace that she believed she would bring upon them. May Hume, the loving and lovable 19- year-old lass, had been the sweetheart of During for the future, while the lad told the girl he would marry her as soon as he earned enough to support a wife. With thbis understanding Short came to live in the house with Miss Hume at the home of the woman, a clairvoyant, who passed as the girl’s mother, at 1228 Mar- ket street. The woman, a Miss Melbourne, gave her name to the police as Mrs. L. Hume, and has a daughter. With this daughter, however, May assoclated but little, as the two girls bad little in | common. Up to last Saturday, May, who was em- ployed as a waitress in the Westerfeld bakery on Market street, had appeared | happy and contented. She left her position abruptly Saturday noon, never to return, and told her lover that she was going away. On Sunday morning she announced that she was going to Oakland, but would not tell Short whom she. was going to see or the cause of the visit. Nothing is known of her movements in Oakland, but it is thought that she visit- ed a physician there. Then she returned to the city and spent the evening at home. Just before retiring she slipped a gold ring from her finger and gave it to Short, earnestly requesting him to wear it al- She then took down a volume of ways.

Moody took an active part to-day in the trial of the packers’ case. At the opening of court he was called upon by Attorney :John S. Miller, who represented Ar- | mour & Co., to produce the original | copy of a letter written to him by | President Roosevelt, or to admit the authenticity of a copy which Miller produced in court. The Attorney General admitted the accuracy of the document as a copy, but declared that the clause in the let- ter which the attorneys for the pack- ers construed as meaning that the De- partment of Justice and the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor were working on the case in unison was not correct. His assertion caused much ex- citement among the attorneys for the packers, and they objected to the state- ment of the Attorney General as being improper before tHe jury. The letter was not offered in evidence, but was marked for identification. But three witnesses were on the stand during the day, and their evi- dence was not of general interest.

Lawson of Boston to-day called on and invited Governor Albert B. Cummins to serve with four pther distinguished re- formers of America on a committée to which he will turn ‘over his New York Life and Mutual Life of New York prox- fes.- Lawson will ask this committee to attend the coming annual meetings of these companies for the purpose of elect- ing good, honest, sound bu: ness men as directors. Governor Cummins replied that he would consider the proposition, and after a conference with Governor Johnson of Minnesota, one of the other members, would make definite answer. The conference between Lawson and Governor Cummins was held in Governor Cummins’ private office at the State- house. Lawson was accompanied by E. J. Ridgeway, a magazine publisher. Lawson told Cummins that the other members of the committee will be Governor Johnson of Minnesota, Senator La Follette of Wis- consin, Governor Broward of Florida and ex-Attorney General Monett of Ohio. He said he had received a large number of proxies in the New ¥ork Life and the iMulual Life of New York, which, with the others he expected to get and which he is confident will come in if the com- mittee plan goes through, will give him | control of both companies. | The proxies are so worded that Lawson | cannot vote them himself. He must turn | them over to a committee of unquestion- ably responsible men to be named by him, which committee will attend the an- nual meetings and vote the proxies. Lawson also told Cummins .aat he de- sired the committee to take steps to have the New York statutes amended to make | a majority of the directors for the two | mutual companies elected annually. At present less than a majority are elected | each year. = COURT CLOSES " HANDVER BAWK BOSTON, Feb. 6.—The Savings Bank Commissioners alleging that the contin- uation of the institution would be haz- ardous to the public and to those hav- | ing funds in its custody, Judge Bradley | of the Supreme Court to-day issued a | temporary injunction against the Han- a West Virginia corpora- tion, which has its main office at 133 | Hanover street, this city.

He took the album and wrote in Latin the following: “Peace on ‘earth; toward men, good will.” The Marquis passed this pacific in- scription to Count von Tattenbach, who smiled grimly his approval. This glimpse behind the scenes gives the keynote to the present efforts to reconcile the Franco-German relations.
