Woman at Jail Governor.
Mme. Jenny Porchet, who has
charge of the prison at Algle, In the
Canton of Vaud, France, is now 52
years of age, and 31 years ago she
married the then prison governor.
At his death the authorities adver
tised for a successor, and among the
applicants was his widow, who had
managed tae prison during her hus
band's long Illness. Another point In
her favor was her physique. In height
she wants only an Inch of six feet,
and possesses the muscles of a wres
tler. The prison commission doubted
her fitness, but when she offered to
try her strength against the most
powerful gendarme, all doubts sub
sided. The prison Is said to be the
best managed in Switzerland.

blithely on our business all this day,
bring us to our resting beds weary
and content and undtahonored, and
grant us In the end the gift of sleep.

MRS. GRACE IS
FREEDBY JURY
Cheers and Tears Follow "Not
Suiitf Verdict
HUSBAND TO SUE FOR DIVORCE
Defendant in Georgia Shooting Case
Thanks Jurymen For Their Verdict.
Philadelphia to Be Future Home.
"God bless you, gentlemen," cried
Mrs. Daisy Virion Ople Grace when
the Jury at Atlanta, Ga., found her not
guilty of the charge of shooting her
husband.
There was a note of hysteria In .Mrs.
Grace's voice and she seemed on the
erge of a collapae, but her lawyers
urged her to restrain herself and she
soon became calm. Then the crowd in
court cheered the verdict and surged
about Mrs. Grace, many of the women
weeping.
"I feel like kissing and hugging you
all," said Mrs. Grace to the Jurors.
"I trusted you all the time. I knew
you did not believe what they said
about me."
The verdict was generally exported.
It was conceded that the state failed
to sustain the charge that Mrs. Grace
had drugged and shot her husband
and locked him in to die In order to
get $25,000 insurance on his life.
Mrs. Grace's testimony had a tre
mendous effect on the Jury and IU
main statements were generally credit
ed, especially those relating to tlie
sums she had lavished on Grace and
his attentions to other women. It de
veloped that Mrs. Grace's story of the
shooting of her husband was a care
fully prepared declamation, pruned,
amended and polished by her lawyers,
and as carefully rehearsed as a
dramatic offering by a professional
actress.
For over two months Mrs. Grace re
hearsed the statement until she was
letter perfect. There wore 8.000 words
In the statement but Mrs. Grace never
faltered once during its delivery.
Eugene Grace was not In court. He
was taken back to his home In New
nan and there heard of the verdict. "I
don't care what the Jury said," de
clared the paralyzed husband. "She's
guilty as h and she knows it."
Grnce announced that he will make
a statement about the case and at
once sue for divorce.
At her lawyer's office the freed wo
man gave out this statement: "1 have
been asked to make a statement since
my acquittal. I am gratified beyond
expression, but not surprised. I knew
that God would not forsake me In my
troubles. I was taught to believe that
He will never forsake the innocent. I
am thankful for all who have helped
me. I will return to my little boy In a
day or so and devote the rest of my
life to him. I'll live with my mother
in Philadelphia and try to comfort her
as long as we live."
WARNING TO OTHER NATIONS
U. S. Will Not Allow Foreign En
croachment on Western Hemisphere.
Behind closed doors the senate, 51
to 4, adopted the Lodge resolution
defining the attitude of the United
States in disapproval of the acquisi
tion by foreign interests of any terri
tory on the western hemisphere which
might be used as military or naval
bases or menace "the approaches" of
this country.
"The declaration rests on a muca
broader and older ground than the
Monroe doctrine," said Senator Lodge.
"This resolution rests on .the generally
accepted principle that every nation
has a right to protect its own safety,
and if it feels that the possession of
any given harbor or place is preju
dicial to its safety it is its duty and
right to Intervene,"
Senator Lodge said the Monroe doc
trine did not touch on the precise
point involved In the Magdalena bay
case.
It is understood that the administra
tion Is Inclined to look with disfavor
upon the Lodge resolution regarding
It as unnecessarily Inviting discussion
abroad of the Monroe doctrine,

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Revival Felt in Increased De

Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Inasmuch as the .increased In
dustrial and mercantile operations In
volve larger demands for money, while
requirements In connection with mov
ing the crops will also be heavy, it Is
on the whole fortunate that there i
no great speculative activity to add
to the burdens of the money market
which is giving signs of an advancing
tendency.
"A noticeable note of optimism pre
vails in business circles In most sec
tions of the country, which is not ap
preciably affected by the usual excite
ment of a presidential year. The
further price advances on steel prod
ucts testify to a large volume of new

Congressman Edward W. Townsend

riedly through the swinging doors out

Dy the arm and rushed him down

"What'a it all about?" demanded the
Irlend when he got his breath.
"Something tells me that a roll call
Impends," said Townsend, "and, for a
reason I have, I'd like to be reported
dead or absent. Either would be easier
explained than my vote. Which re
minds me of a story.
"A long time ago I worked on a
newspaper In Carson City, Nev. There
was another fellow on the pnper who
was a good denl pf a rummy Bnd who
used to go off on long sprees. One day
he disappeared and nothing was heard
of him for a month. He just got
aboard of a train and started east,
and at St. Louis he got a bun, the
record of which Is still preserved In
the archives of the brewery Just back
pf the town. He forgot home and
mother and everything else. When he

felt that be was up against It a bit at

Conquering Smallpox Scourge.
Smallpox Is no longer feared by civ

no doubt, to the immunization of the
races through vaccination, and partly
to the better methods of sanitation
and preventive treatment generally.
In the first year of our occupation of
thfi Philippines, where smallpox was
then an endenilo or constant disease,
there were 675 cases among our sol
diers nnd 240 deaths. A system ol
rigid vaccination was ndopted, and In
the last five years there have been
only five cases and not a slnlfl uVnth.
