TRAINED NURSE
Remarks about Nourishing
Food
*
“A physician’s wife gave me a pack-
u^Sfige of Grape-Nuts one day, with the
; *iremark that she was sure I would find
**^|he food very beneficial, both for my
own use and for my patients. I was
particularly attracted to the food, >&s
at that time the weather was very
hot and I appreciated the fact that
Grape-Nuts requires no cooking.
“The food was deliciously crisp, and
most inviting to the appetite. After
making use of it twice a day for three
OX* four weeks, I discovered that it was
must wonderful invigorator. I used
tftp suiter greatly from exhaustion, head
aches and depression of spirits. My
fwork had been very trying at times
£and indigestion had set in.
V", “Now, I am always well and ready
i for any amount of work, have an abun-
< dance of active energy, cheerfulness
«and mental poise. I have proved to
\ my entire satisfaction that this change
has been brought about by Grape-Nuts
; food. '
“The fact that it is predigested is a
. very desirable feature. I have had
paany remarkable results in feeding
Grape-Nuts to my patients, and I can-
, not speak too highly of the food. My
i friends constantly comment on the
^cnange in my appearance. I have gain-
*ed 9 pounds since beginning the uss of
t this food.”

ELECTEDBY PEOPLE
Connecticut, the Thirty-sixth
State to Ratify the Federal
Constitutional Amendment,
Acted on Tuesday
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 10—Direct elec
tion of United States senators became
one of the provisions of the constitution
by Connecticut’s ratification of the
amendment to that effect.
Thirty-six states, the requisite three-
fourths of all in the union, now have ap
proved the change. It remains only for
the governors of all states which have
acted favorably to formally notify Sec
retary Bryan and for him to issue a
proclamation announcing the change.
The amendment to the constitution is
the second within the last few months.
Pennsylvania was the thirty-fourth
state to ratify the amendment and Ten
nessee the thirty-fifth.
The new amendment to the constitu
tion for the popular election of United
States senators, is the seventeenth to be
adopted. It reads:
THE AMENDMENT.
“The senate of the United States shall
be composed of two senators from each
state, elected by the people thereof, for,
six years; and each senator shall have
one vote. The electors in each state
shall have the qualifications requisite
for electors of the most numerous branch
of the state ^legislatures.
“When vacancies happen in the repre
sentation of any state in the senate, the
executive authority of such state shall
issue writs of election to fill such va
cancies, provided that the legislature of
any state may empower the executive
thereof to make temporary appointments
until the people fill the vacancies by elec
tion as the legislature may direct.”
The amendment primarily transfers the
power of electing senators from the state
legislatures to the people at the polls.
To effect this change it was necessary to
altar the machinery for the filling of va
cancies in the senate.
For more than sixty years proposals
have been made to change the constitu
tion so as to provide for the direct
election of senators. It was not, how
ever, until June 24, 1911, that the sen
ate was induced for the first time in its
history to give its consent to the
change. On that day it voted to sub
mit to the states the proposed amend
ment. The resolution to submit had
already passed the house in a some
what different form. Before adjourn
ment of the session, both houses agreed
to the language to be employed, and
the resolution was deposited with the
secretary of state, May 1G, 1912, for
distribution among the states.
THE OLD THEORY.
The original theory in establishing
the choice of senators was that they
represented the states, whereas the
members of the house represented the
people of their districts. It was because
of this theory of the state as a unit
that all states, large and small were
given equal represenation in the sen
ate, Rhode Island having the same
number as New York or Pennsylvania.
In the theory of the constitution fram
ers this entity of the state was thus
made more disinct under the federal
system, and the state legislature was
regarded as the suitable fnedium for
expressing this state entity. Later it
was contended that state entity would
still be preserved if the people of the
entire state, instead of the legislature,
chose the senators as the basis of the
new system.
In 1826 the first action was taken in*
congress looking to a change. In that
year Representative Storrs, of New
lork, introduced a resolution making
senators elective by the people. Anoth
er resolution of similar import was in
troduced by Wright, of Ohio, in 1829/
In 1850 Senator Clemens, of Alabama,
introduced the first senatorial direct
election resolution in the senate. Noth
ing resulted from these movements.

ZELIE EMERSON FREED
JETER HUNGER STRIKE
American Suffragette Releas
ed From English Prison After
Becoming l!l From Hunger
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. 10.—Miss Zelie Emer
son, a suffragette of Jackson, Mich.,
was released from Holloway jail at
9 o’clock last night. She was taken
by her mother to a nursing home where
she will be given medical treatment.
Mrs. Emerson feels grave anxiety for
her daughter’s condition and will not
permit her to see anyone.
Certain of the more militant friends
of Miss Emerson, including a number
of Americans, who were displeased at
Mrs. Emerson’s abandoning the cam
paign to force intervention by the
American embassy, planned to take
aw T ay the daughter without her moth
er's knowledge in an automobile, so
that they might get an interview with
out the mother’s moderating influence.
The militants placed a relay of pick
ets to watch for Miss Emerson when
she left the prison, but were forestall
ed by her unexpected early release. The
home secretary had announced that she
would be set at at liberty today. Mrs.
Emerson had been informed of the date
of her daughter’s release by the Amer
ican embassy. She took her immedi
ately to a hospital where physicians
isolated her.
The more radical among the Ameri
cans held the belief that the case of
fered a chance lo make the question
of forcible feeling an international
matter while the militants generally
welcomed it as another opportunity for
getting the government into hot water.
The .more moderate members of the
Woman’s Social and Political union,
including their attorney, support Mrs.
Emerson and some of her American
friends in their opinion that Holme
Secretary McKenna has made an ex
traordinary concession to an American
suffragette.
Miss Emerson, who was taken from
the jail in a motor ambulance, was
cheered by a. large number of suffra
gettes who had gathered in momentary
expectation of the release of Mrs. Erne-
line Pankhurst.
FLORIDA LEGISLATURE

to Request Ousting of Ne
gro by President
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 10.—A
resolution was offered In the senate by
Senator Stokes, of Pensacola, and by
Representative Acosta, of Duval, in the
house asking the president to remove
forthwith Joe Lee, the negro internal
revenue collector at Jacksonville. This
was passed by both houses without di
vision.
Senator Bryan is hack of the move
and the entire Florida delegation in
Washington is determined to rid Florida
of the negro officeholders. Senator
Bryan is on the ground. He will take
the joint resolution with him to ^Wash
ington when he leaves next week. Rep
resentative Clark, now in Washington,
is handling that end.

of Kidney Trouble.
I have been a resident of Couders-
port for thirty years. My age is 52, and
I wish to testify to the wonderful re
sults of the use .of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root. I have used it off and

years, and always with immediate ben-
eflt.
About two years ago my husband
had a severe attack of kidney trouble,
was unable to sleep and suffered great
pain. Could eat no breakfast ’ and be
came very thin in flesh. After he had
taken half a bottle of Swamp-Root,
he felt much better. The pains in his
back left him and his appetite re
turned. I have never doctored with the
doctors because of my faith in Swamp-
Root.
I heartily recommend it to anyone in
a run down condition from trouble with
the kidneys.
Yours very truly,
MRS. JAMES MORAN,

SHOOT TWO CITIZENS
Robbers Surround Summer
ville, Blast Safe, Fire on
Posse, Cut Telephone Wires
and Secure $4,000
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga., April 10.—Auto bandits
early this morning- dynamited the vault
of the Bank of Commerce, at Summer
ville, Chattooga county, and while
loaded down with loot, waged a desper
ate pistol battle with awakened citi
zens, who rushed into the public square.
Th© thieves made a successful get
away in the touring car which they had
concealed in the woods, near the town
after shooting down two men. They se
cured more than three thousand dol
lars in cash, together wtih valuable
negotiable securities and $3,000 worth
of stamps kept in the vault by Post
master Neal.
Deafening explosions shortly before
1 o'clock brought citizens to the
scene, First to arrive were Deputy
Sheriff William Alexander and Steve
Garrett, who opened fire upon the rob
bers a>s they appeared from the wreck
ed bank building.
A pitched battle followed in which
Alexander and Garrett were shot twice,
but both will recover. Everyone of the
town’s 1,800 people surged around the
wrecked building and mad© arrange
ments for a hurried pursuit, while the
bandits were making haste to get away
over rough roads.
Bloodhounds were secured and the
trail was followed as far as Gore, a
small town eight miles directly west
of Summerville. Here th© trace was
lost and the men may have gone north
to Chattanooga, or south to Rome. Dogs
from Floyd county’s convict camps
have been sent to, assist and hundreds
of men are engaged in the search over
the north Georgia hills, but with small
chance of success.
Many telephone wires leading to
Summerville were cut by the bandits
before the robbery and communication
with the outside world is extremely
difficult. This showed that the rob
bery had been planned carefully. At
least five men were In the party.
Guards were stationed at the four
corners of the public square to head off
the citizens who might rush to the build
ing before the thieves got away. The
explosion was terrific and people were
thrown from tneir beds, while the big
vault was completely wrecked. The
Bank of Commerce is one of the strong
est in this section. John S. Cleghorn is
president, and N. K. Bitting, cashier.
The bank will not be affected by the loss
and will continue operations.
Married.Women for
Jewelry and Then
Left for Others
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, April 10—“Jack” Lewis,
detained here on complaint of Miss
Ethel Newcomb that, arter what pur
ported to be a marriage ceremony, he
deserted her with jewelry valued at
$3,500, was identified by operatives of
a private detective agency as Weaver
E. Clark, of Richmond, Va.
This agency and the Milwaukee police
have been looking for Clark since last
summer, as he is charged by Mrs. J. E.
Temple, of Little Rock, Ark., with the
theft of jewels worth $5,560.
According to the records the alleged
swindler met Mrs. Temple while pro
moting a mining scheme. She accom
panied him to Milwaukee to be married,
but, stopping on the way at Chicago,
she yielded to Clark’s persuasions and
purchased a large amount of jewelry.
OLSON IS FREED UNDER
THE UNWRITTEN LAW
(By Associated Press.)
ST. PAUL, Minn., April 10.—The jurj
in the case of Prof. Oscar M. Olson, for
merly of the University of Minnesota
farm school, charged with the murder of
Clyde N. Darling, alleged wrecker of
the Olson home, returned a verdict of
not guilty at 8:35 last night.
The jury had been out since 5 o’clock
and kt 7:40 the foreman announced that
a verdict had been reached. Judge Orr
was called, arriving nearly an hour later.
As the words of “not guilty” fell from
the lips of the foreman, Olson, who had
been brought to the court room, at
tempted to rise, but dropped back^ into
his seat. He recovered his composure,
and with tear-dimmed eyes shook hands
with the jurors, the judge and the news
paper men.
“There is going to be a happy re
union at the Olson home tonight,” was
all Prof. Olson would say as he started
for his home, where his coming was
being awaited by his wife and little
daughter. Prof. Olson had not seen his
daughter since his arrest, the night of
the shooting.
In April, 1911, Darling, a laundry
wagon driver, began paying Mrs. Olson
attentions. Her husband was out of
the city much of the time. After se
cret meetings had been going on for
nearly a year her conscience began
troubling her.
Acording to the testimony, she begged
Darling to stay away from her. He re
fused. When .she threatened to tell her
husband all, he replied that she wouldn’t
dare, and kept her in fear by threaten
ing the life of her husband, she testified.
Finally she made a confession to her
husband. She did not tell everything,
but enough to have him warn Darling to
stay away. Later, she revealed the
entire story to Prof. Olson. On March
5, Prof. Olson returned from a trip over
the state. Mrs. Olson was in Monte
video, visiting, and had intended return
ing that day. It was late at night.
Olson was half dozing when he heard
a sound in the yard. He went to a win
dow and saw a figure approaching the
back door, according to his testimony.
He took his revolver and waited. As thef
dor opened Olson fired two shots. Both
bullets went through the right lung of
Darling.
The trial lasted six days. Mrs. Olson
told her story from beginning to end.
At the end of her testimony she col
lapsed.
NEW FLAG IS UNFURLLD
BY CHINESE
No Official Recognition, How
ever, Has Yet Been Given
by Powers
fBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 10—The new re
public of China was successfully launch
ed today, according to a cablegram re
ceived from Pekin at the Chinese lega
tion here by Minister Chang Yin-Tang.
Within a few minutes after the re
ceipt of the news the great five-barred
flag of China with its red, yellow, blue,
white and black stripes, was hoisted to
staff over the legation building.
Recognition of the new Chinese re
public by the United States and other
world powers came to a point today,
meeting of the Chinese constitutional
assembly.
No official word was forthcoming at
the White House or the state depart
ment early this morning as to what the
United. States proposed to do.
It was taken as settled that neither
Great Britain nor Japan would recog
nize Yuan Shi Kai’s government at this
time and there was some doubt if other
powers would.

NACO, Arizona, April 10—In keepfng
with their superstitions, the Yaqui In
dians, fighting in the state ranks, sto
ically refused to attack Naco during
last night. The chiefs explained to the
constitutionalist leaders that if killed
at night the Indian braves believed their
souls would float through indefinite dark
ness. The Yaquis did some of the hard
est fighting yesterday.
Seven Mexicans, arrested by the
Ninth cavalry patrol yesterday, carried
dynamite and hand-grenades, supposedly
to assist in the early at^ick from the
Arizona side of the line.
Major Reed, of the Ninth cavalry, U.
S. A., placed a row of railroad cars to
load with coke along the border, thus
to lessen the danger to residents of the
Arizona town.
As in previous border battles, Ameri
can physicians and volunteers were not
wanting. Two army physicians and a
native doctor, visited the state troops’
camp to find more than fifty wounded
soldiers uncared for on the field.
The leaders would not permit their re
moval to the American side, where the
federal injured are being treated. The
civilian physician remained during the
night operating on the most serious
cases.
MICHIGAN’S VOTE, MONDAY,
TO TELL “MOOSES’ ” FATE
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, April 10—Michigan’s
vote, cast Monday will undoubtedly
have an important bearing upon the
Progressive party and upon the spirits
of th© downcast Republican. The vote
will be taken here and the country over
as an indication of the extent to which
the Progressives have etsablished them
selves as a party, independent of the
dominant personality of Theodore
Roosevelt. Last fall Michigan’s well
known loyalty to Roosevelt personally
was without question a factor in the
70,000 plurality which the state gave to
his party. But has the new party
“struck in” to such an extent as to re
tain even a large percentage of the vote
which went to Roosevelt last fall?
Some "of the old-line Republicans are
chirking up a bit. In November, De
cember and January it looked to them
as though the old party had gone on
the rocks. But they say that things are
getting better now. They think that the
Progressive noe which has been sounded
in Republican circles, even though pal
pably forced and prompted by an evi
dent political purpose, is having its ef
fect. They rejoice in the wavering of
certain of the progressive Republicans,
who, a little time ago were disposed to
fight, but now are showing a desire -to
co-operate with the regulars. This co
operation is prompted evidently by the
expectation of men like La Follette, Bo
rah and Cummins that they will be al
lowed to have their way in the parity;
but the effect upon the party is consid
ered just as good, whatever the terms
upon which the regeneration is to be
effected.
“OLD-LINERS” TAKE HEART.
The old-line Republicans have taken
heart from the recent results in St.
Louis and Chicago. Last November
Chicago gave Roosevelt 24,183 more
votes than Wilson and 76,533 more votes
than Taft. In the municipal election this
spring, though having a candidate for
alderman in every ward, the Progres
sives elected only three aldermen, as
against twenty-two Democrats, eleven
Republicans and one independent. The
Progressives, triumphing in November,
fell to a bad third in April. In St. Louis
the Progressive candidate for mayor
polled only 4,511 votes out of a .total of
125,000, the Socialists getting 35 per
Cent more votes than the Progressives.
It seems to be in the air that the
Republicans will win today’s election
in Michigan. If they do not win the
national leaders of the Republican
party wil be greatly surprised. Even
the Progressives are not counting
largely upon success, recognizing the
disadvantage under which the new
party is laboring and the large part
played last fall by the personal popu
larity of Colonel Roosevelt. Congress
man Kelley, regular Republican, has
been freely prophesying Republican
success this spring. Senator Townsend
after speaking at several important
points in the state, returned to Wash
ington with the decided impression that
the Republican party was in shape to
win.
