Paris, Aug. 8. Paris has two mar
tyrs to feminism, Mile. Jeanne Block
, the popular music hall artist, and
Mile. Hadolcine Pelletler, one of the
few lady doctors practicing in Paris,
The martyrdom in neither case will
be very terrible. Mile. Block, was
accused of infringing the regulations
concerning motor .cars, and paid no
. attention to the summons from , a
court composed of mere men.
She has just been sentenced by a
default to forty-eight hours imprison,
ment. Mile. Pelletler made that ter
rible onslaught about a month ago
on a ballot box, which she trampled
under foot, and which was fully de.
scribed at the time. The Correo
tional Court has sentenced her to a
fine of 16f. When Mile. Block heard
of her condemnation she stamped her
v foot on said it could not be, true. Then
' why did she not go to the court?
Because she had forgotten about it.
: When Mile. Pelletler heard of. her
condemnation sho exclaimed: "Mas
cullne egotism surpasses 'anything
that can be imagined. Mle. Block, of
course, is going to appeal, whereas

Columbia, S. C, Aug. 8. The indica
tions are that the railroad commission
will render its decision on the renewed
protest of the traveling men's organ
izations against the regulations of the
Southeastern . Passenger Association
with regard to. the new mileage books
next Monday, but a majority of the
commission has not yet indicated what
the nature, of , the decision will be.
It seems A comparatively safo bet,
however,, that the commission will by
a vote of two to one sustain the
present arrangement, as It did on a
former occasion. Commissioner Caugh-
man, who has a campaign for re-election
on bis hands,' voting for the de
mands of the traveling men as before.
The railroad people claim the com
mission has no authority to change
the present status, which protects the
revenues of the railroads, and inti
mate that ft the decision is against the
roads Its effectiveness will at least be
long delayed by appeal to the courts,
And It Is hlntfld that If. tha
forced to mike' an exception of this
state they 'will' withdraw the reduced
rates,, which will cause the travelin
public generally to suffer.

Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 8 Special build-
tigs for the white insane persons under
the care of the state who have tuber
culosis are to be erected in connection
with the state hospital for the insane
at Morguntoui', an order to this effect
being just made by the state hospital
commission which has in hand the ex
pending of $100,000 per year for five
years for the enlargement and better
equipment of the state hospitals. There
are to be separate buildings for the
male and female patlcats, each to ac
commodate 25 patients. This is con
sidered ample for the present The
commission also orders similar build
ings for colored insane tuberculosis
patients at the negro hospital at
Qoldsboro.
In considering the matter of enlarge
ment of the capacity of the hospitals
the commission decided to confine the
principal operations in this direction to
the Central Hospital here until this
Institution is brought somewhere near
an equal size with tile Morganton in
stitution, especially for the reason that
the managements will be thrown more
Into competition In tho matter of keep
ing down operating expenses.
There was a conference last night
between the commission and Governor
Glenn and soveral members of the
council of state discussing a knotty
problem that has bobbed up with the
commission as to the location of the
colonies for insane and epoleptics
that it is one of thoir specific orders
to provide out of the $50,000 appropria
tion. The commission Is divided as to
the best course. The big Grimes tract
of land here adjoining the Central Hos
pital farm was bought some months
ago for this specific purpose but an
effort has since developed to have those
institutions located elsewhere. The
'whole matter, however is to be settled
at once. . .. ( - v-

mission in session here yesterday and
last night showed that the work om the

GRAND JURY
ON CITY HOME
Richmond in Sensation
al Excitement
MAKES EXHAUSTIVE CRITICISM
Accompanying The Report is An In.
dlctment Against a Nurse, Mrs.
Gaylord Woman in no Condition to
Be Removed from Home.
By Wire to The Sutf
Richmond, Va., Aug. 8. After less
than an hour's deliberation yesterday
the grand jury presented Its report
on the Baby Vaughan murder to
Judge Witt and handed in a true bill
of lndicement, charging Mrs. Ethel
Gaylord with the killing of the ehild.
The report is exhaustive and com
prehensive, as well as sweeping, in
Its drastic criticisms.
After examining many witnesses
connected in one way or another with
the management of the City. Home,
the Jury declares that the Condition
of affairs at that institution is la
mentable, that there is practically no
head, and that the rules of the Home
as provided by Council, are entirely
inadequated to the demands.
The management of the Home and
those associated with it are severely
censured. The report also hauls the
young doctors iver the coals and
gives a .dig n't fhe City Council.
Accomp?r?p& the report was the
mcueemenc against Mrs. Gaylord.
This document covers thirteen pages
of typewritten matter and charges the
woman with having murdered the
child by administering bichloride of
mercury and chloroform.
The indictment relates the story of
the first appearance of the child at
the City Home, and states that the
father's name lis unknown.
In presenting the report Foreman
Taylor stated to the court that he was
sorry to have taken up so much time,
but that the jury had been given a
tremendous task.
The court room contained but few
spectators when the report came In,
but those who were present listened
attentively to the reading of the paper
No comments were made, except that
the "management of the Home had
been severely roasted."
Imemdiately upon the reading of
the lndicement against Mrs. Gaylord,
in the Hustings court this morning,
Judge Witt issued a capias against
her, and Deputy Howls was detailed
to execute it. He conferred with Su.
perintendent Davis and Dr. Trevillian,
and it was decided to allow the wo
man to remain at the Home for the
present, under surveillance.
"She is In no condition to be taken
away at this time," said Dr. Trevil
lian. Acting upon this opinion, Superin.
tendent Davis decided ' to place a
watch upon Mrs. Gaylord, and when
her condition becomes such as to al
low her to be taken to jail, he will
inform the officials, who will then
remove her to Jail pending a hearing
in the October term of court

THE CAMPAIGN IN ANSON
Only Two More Meetings to Be Held
In The Connty Canvass
Wadesboro, N. C, Aug. 8. The coun
ty canvass in Anson continues alter,
nately hot and cold. The candidates
have only two more points at which
they will speak, ending the campaign
here Friday before the election on Sat
urday of thi3 week. It seems im
possible to get up any enthusiasm
among any of the candidates except
those in the senatorial race, as stated
a few days ago, the speaking was
a tame affair, at White Stare, having
been quite lively for the two days
before. The next day following, at
Polkton and Peachlahd, there was no
lack of interest. Mr. Lockhart in his
speech charged that his opponent for
the senatorial toga, Dr. W. J. Mc.
Lendon, was a candidate of "special
interest" (whatever that means) and
that his campaign was being managed
and paid for principally by the North
ern insurance companies. These, Mr.
Lockhart says, are bitterly, opposed to
a law which he shall endeavor to
have passed compelling them to invest
more of their surplus in North Car
olina securities. Mr. Lockhart says
these companies are very much afraid
of what he will do for them if he
is elected to the Senate and for that
reason they are willing to spend a
great sum of money right here in
Anson county to defeat him. He said
that he believed that Prof. D. A. Mc
Grepor, chairman of the Democratic
executive committee, was employed by
these insurance companies in their
effort to defeat him. Since Mr. Lock
hart made these attacks on Professor
McGregor at Lilesvtlle the latter has
been going with the candidate at ev.
ery speaking place. He has some du
ties to perform in connection with
his office and his aroused Scotch
blood wants to be present when his
integrity and Democracy are being at.
tacked. At each point he rises and
replies to Mr. Lockhart, and each time
many of Mr. Lockhart's followers, just
as It it was already understood, rise
with him and apparently start for
home, at the same time yelling so as
to drown out much of what Professor
McGregor says. But at Peachland,
Professor McGregor and Dr. McLendon l
replied to the attack of Lockhart and
had a"very respectable hearing by a
large part of the audience. The tjde
seemed to turn here, so those present
say, and after the speaking Mr. Lock.
hart sent Professor McGregor word
that If he would go back to Wadesboro
and remain that he, Lockhart, Would
not attack him or make any charges
against him again. Professor McGre
gor did this and yesterday when the
candidates spoke at Burnsvllle, iall
seems to have gone on . as merry as
