ROMADKE, A MILWAUKEE MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE, TELLS REASON FOR TURNING BURGLAR i Olamour Thrown by a Yellow Newspaper Over Adventures of Criminals Attraoted Her to n Similar Llfe--Sho Craved Excitement and Had Nothing Else to Do. Chicago. Mrs. Evelyn Romadke, wife of the Milwaukee millionaire trunk maker, who was sentenced to serve a prison term for burglary, told the story of her downfall to Judge Bretano. She left a home of luxury In Milwaukee, where sho had everything a woman naturally would desire, to corns to Chicago to associate with thieves, and eventually entered upon n career of burglary to satisfy her own morbid craving for excitement. She declares emphatically that she owes her down fall to the constant perusal of stories of crime printed in what she called tho "yellow newspapers " "I had nothing else io do," she said. "I was married, but no ono tried to add to my amusement or happiness. I read all my books, nnd then I took to redding copies of this newspaper." She mentioned one by name. "The glamour which It threw over tho acts und adventures ot crlmlnnls, tho exaggeration of everything but the iniquity of their offenses, attracted me. "I wanted to meet these thieves," Mrs. Romadke continued. "I had the Idea I would be absorbed In the stories a real burglar could toll. I wanted to test the Interest awakened iu mc in their Uve3 and see whether It was real. I even had a desire to try whether I myself could steal without detection. "Well, I came to Chicago. Part of tho time 1 lived In n South Side flat. It was there I met Albert Jones, the negro. He carao to do some cleaning for the woman from whom I rented my room. I saw him and asked him the time. He drew from his pocket a woman's watch, and with it inad vertently a woman's diamond ring. "Ho glanced at me surreptitiously, and stealthily put It back In his pocket. Here was I face to faco with n thief. We wero at the dopr of my npartment. I pulled him into it. 'I believe you are a burglar,' I said, and thon stopped him as be was about to speak and move away. " 'Stay boVo,' I said. 'I have wanted to meet a burglar for somo time. I am interested. I want to know you. I will not give you away.' 'I can tell you somo stories about stealing that would make your hair stand on end,' JoneB told me, or something like that, and that was tuo way we became acquainted. I talked with him, getting tho stories at first hand and not from' tho yellow newspapers any more. Then I planned with htm to try my own hand. I did it, you know not how many tlmos, and I thought 1 was doing It undetected. I guess I wouldn't have been caught if 1 bad kept my head." Mrs. Romadke was weeping when she finished her story. expensive Co-opera t Inn. Many wagon roads of Illinois ara, in wet seasons, mere canals of sticky black mud. because the soil Is a rich mixture of loam nnd vegetable mold. In hot and dry weather they nre lane:i thickly carpeted by dust through which It Is not easy to drive. Be tween the wet nnd the dry seasons thes? roads are rutted, rough and sometimes impassable. During meetings In 1905 of the Gnlva Farmers' Institute, in Henry County, there was some talk about road Improvement, and the sugges tion wbb offered that thero should be systematic effort at co-operation lor road improvement. One result was that the Gnlva Road Improve ment Association was organized, and money wni raised to provide for pay ment of premiums for the best three sections, of four mllca each, of main roods leading out from Calva. The first prize was $10, second $25, and third $15, and the points, of the standard by which the judges were to be guided were: frown or slope, thirty points; dragging, flftv loluts; approaches ((Abridges, ten; woods, rubbish and general appear ance, etc, ten points. The Judges were free to make subdivisions of tliis scale. The farmers living beside thse roads were Invited to organize under an agreement that each member would do his fair abate oT the work of the association. More than thirty miles of these roads were properly leveled or graded, but the work of organization was completed on only four of the roado-, covering eighteen miles. More or lea: dragging With Split-log or other drags was done on others of these roads, but not Iu continuous four-Mile stretches. Three Judge were chosen to make these awards. Ona effec: of this simple and Inex pensive method or co-operative rood Impporement is illustrated, by- the accompanying engraving. It shovs a road near Golva, IU., which wai rough and at. times impassable before dragging, and suggests an idea ol the good which may be done, at small cost, by a little neighborly effort at the right moment. Farmers, merchants and road officials agreed in October, after the plan bad a fair trial through months, that better results had been Obtalni .1 in this way than by any other method they had tried.

Finland furnished this week a striking example of the effects of universal suffrage combined with virtual control by Socialist theories. Its Legislature consists of a single chamber of 200 members. Flfty-slx per cent, of the voters at the last election in the towns and fifty per cent, in tho rural districts wero women. Nineteen women were elected members of tho chamber. The Social Democratic party elected eighty members, und it has other sympathizers. It h;.s jus' passed a drastic act for the total prohibition of spirits, wine, beer And alcohol, which may be kept only for medical and technical pur poses and for the use of Russian troops. Even the use of wlno for tho communion service is forbidden. No one may keep alcoholic drinks in his house unless ho can prove that they were In his possession beforo tho act was passed. The police havo full rights of Bearch and the penalties vary from $20 fine to penal servitude for three years. There is no provision for loss of capital in breweries, distilleries or private houses. Tho Baroness Gripenberg, one of tho best known women members, said that in dealing with a question of this vkul social importance it was quite time "to leave reason aside and let sentiment provall." This moved tho Times to remark: "There we have the true Inwardness revealed of tho Social Democratic revolution naked and unashamed. The earlier revolutions were content to Inaugurate tho 'Age of Reason,' and we know what that meant. It was reserved for the Social Democratic revolution to inaugurate the 'Ago of Sentiment,' au.l we have yet to learn all that that means. At any rate it means, so far as it has gone In Its chosen homo of the Grand Duchy of Finland, one heavy blow at the principles of liberty."

Never before perhaps in tho history ol France has there been such occasion for pride In the wealth of the country as during this week, when practically every Stock Exchange in Europe and America has been sending petitions to Paris for more gold. Although much gold baB left Paris in the last fortnight, France still has more of the precious metal than she knows what to do with. French thrift knows no limits. In Prance no one is idle; every ono saves. Nor Is money saved to be hoarded. Tho huge semi-official banks which have no counterparts in America, and which not only accept deposits but give advice concerning investments, have more customers to-day than ever before. The Postofflce Savings Bank, State controlled, where a deposit of one sou is as welcome as that of a hundred francs, also shows a tremendous Increase In business for the present year. Although the maximum account allowed to ono depositor is only $300, It is estimated that tho deposiu In tho Postofflce Banks this year will run up to near a billion dollars by the end of December. Money lent abroad is doubly profltablo In the case of France, for a fall percentage of it is brought back to France by tho horde of foreigners who annually visit this favored land.
