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.

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.

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. NEW HAVEN ROAD HEADS ,FA€E CRIMINAL TRIAL (By Associated Press.)

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 ASK LEE’S Both Houses Pass Resolutions 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.

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.

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 on in my family for the past twelve 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.

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.

COUNTY MAY ADOPT COMMISSION FORM (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 10.— Chattanooga and Hamilton county are voting today to decide whether or not the county is to be placed under a com mission form of government similar to that now enjoyed by the city proper. A very light vote is expected except the suburbs of Oakgrove and Ridgedale, who are simultaneously voting upon an nexation to the city. It is believed that they will join hands with Chattanooga, in which event the population will be bodily increased 10,000. At present at least 40 per cent of the city is outside the corporation limits, (By Associated Press.) 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.
