CRISIS IN FRANCE
John Blgelow Says Present Labor
Troubles Create Perilous Situation.
John Bigelow, the veteran author
and diplomat, who represent the Unit
ed States in France during the civil
war, was a passenger from Havre or.
the steamer La Provence, returning
from a visit to the scenes of his foi
mer triumphs.
Mr. Bigelow, who Is now 52 years
old, said that he regarded the present
labor troubles In France as ono of the
most perilous situations which that
country has faced In modern times.
"The leniency which wns shown the
strikers in the settlement of the postal
diiTlculties," he said, "will always be a
source of regret to the far-seeing
Frenchman. The government's weak
position at that time has incited the
workers In all the other departments
to push outrageous demands, and the
whole battle, which might have been
fought and won at the time of the pos
tal strike, must be gone over again,"

BOYLES AR
Man For Life Sentence, Woman
For Twenty-Five Years.
Woman Said to Have Taken Poison
Sunday Night and to Have Narrow
ly Escaped Death Razor Found
Concealed In Boyle's Necktie Story
of Boyle Implicating Harry Forker
In AbdiMion Not Generally Credit
ed In Mercer and Sharon.
Pittsburg, Mey 11. James Boyle and
his wife, Helen Boyle, were lodged la
the Western penitentiary here last
night shortly before 8 o'clock, the for
mer under a sentence of life-Imprisonment,
the latter sentenced to serve a
term of ?!i years.
The prisoners were taken first to a
side room and told they would have
to say good bye, as the rules of the
prison would not permit them to see
each other again. Mrs. Boyle threw
her arms around JImmle's neck and
kissed him. She said "We must take
it the best we can."
The prisoners then shook hands and
the matron escorted Mrs. Boyle from
(he room. When Bhe reached the cor
ridor she hurst into tears and asked
to be permitted once again to see her
husband. The request was granted
mid she tgaln kissed and embraced
Boyle. The man maintained silence.
When Mrs. Boyle gave her belong
ings to the matron, she asked permis
sion to keep a small mirror she car
ried, saying "I do not want to leave It
behind as that would make me have
seven years of bad luck." The mirror
was returned to her and she will be
allowed to keep it In her cell.
During the trip here from Mercer,
where they left late In the afternoon,
the kidnapers spent most of the time
In quiet conversation together. They
discussed the sentence which they al
lege was unjust and asked what steps
they would have to take to get a re
view of the case, and how to see an
attorney. Mrs. Boyle tried to cheer
"Jimmie" and wanted to know if he
would be permitted to smoke at the
penitentiary.
When asked how she felt, Mrs. Boyle
said. "Pretty bad." On arriving In
Pittsburg she remarked: "Mercer will
sleep quieter tonight sleepy old Mer
cer, since we are out of It."
Sheriff Chase said he was glad to
get the prisoners out of his custody
as he was afraid they would be suc
cessful in their announced Intention
to commit suicide. The Bherlff stated
he believed Boyle had intended to kill
his wife and then commit suicide with
the razor the sheriff found In the kid
naper's tie yesterday. Neither of the
prisoners would deny that this was
true.
Sensation? followed each other thick
and fast. The severity of the sentence
appalled Mercer, where it was pro
nounced, and surprised many else
where. Then came, the sensational
scene In the courtroom, when both
prisoners collapsed and had to be car
ried from the room. Hardly had they
reached their cells when the word was
given out that the woman had taken
poison during Sunday night and had
narrowly escaped death at her own
hand, and that a razor had been found
concealed in Boyle's clothing.
Before this thrill had lost its force,
Boyle gave out his statement Implicat
ing Harry Forker, brother of Mrs.
Whltla, In the kidnaping case. In
Mercer and Shut on the story does not
seem to be generally credited, and as
the assistant district attorney has no
faith in It, there Is little likelihood of
any formal action In the matter.

YOUTH ENDS LIFE
Boy Hangs Himself to Tree; Little
Brother Find Body.
Washington, Pa., May 11. "There's
a man standing under a tree out there,
looking straight up, and he doesn't
move a bit!" excitedly announced two
little sons of Mr. and Mrs. William
Orum to their mother at 6 o'clock Sun
day morning, running into the house,
near Ten-Mile, after starting to get
the cows from pasture.
Investigation revealed that Robert
Orum, an 1S-yenr-old son, had hanged
himself from a limb of a maple tree
200 yards from his home. The boy,
who weighed more than 200 pounds,
had taken a cow halter, climbed the
tree, fastened one end of the halter
to a limb and thn other about his
neck, and dropped. His neck was not
broken and death resulted from
strangulation.
The motive for the suicide is not
(leflnitely known. A week ago the
bey was severely rebuked by his fa
ther for whipping a horse while the
two were working In a hay field. A
quarrel followed and the boy, leaving
the field, did not return to his home.
His parents were ignorant as to his
whereabouts during the week, but it
Ib snld he had been staying at the
home of an aunt near Ten-mile.
Saturday night Orum called at Miss
Loar's home, leaving there at 10
o'clock. He gave no hint of his plans.
Later he was seen by several resi
dents of the village from whom he
tried to borrow money. It is now be
lieved he intended to buy a revolver.
Failing in this he resorted to the cow
halter, which he took from his father's
bnrn.
CAN'T FIND BODY
OF EMMA PROCH

by 200 Men Proves Fruitless.
Latrobe, Pa., May 11. Search for
the body of Emma Proch, who mys
teriously disappeared from her home
on Friday evening, April 30, was re
sumed yesterday morning. When the
body of 5-year-old Alvin Proch, who
disappeared with his slHter was re
covered from Loyalhanna creek Thurs
day it was supposed the girl's body
would be found near. With this Idea
over 200 men began work in the creek
at the Proch farm.
Fifty sticks of dynamite were ex
ploded at various places where it was
thought the body might have lodged.
No trace of the body was found, and
the search was nhandoned after the
father returned home, declaring he
was satisfied his child either was not
In the creek or had been carried by
the current miles down stream.
In the midst of the search a terri
fic thunderstorm added to the discom
fort of the workers. The Pittsburg
and Independent breweries furnished
wagons nnd men and hauled the drags,
poles, axes and hooks used.
Farmers served luncheon for the
searchers at noon, Including coifee,
sandwiches, pie and cako.
