Move On to Require All Del
egates to Be Voters.
HARDING GIVES APPROVAL
Purpose of Innovation Declared to
Put Party on Strictly White
Man's Basis.
BT MARK SULLIVAN.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 12. At
the coming meting of the republican
national committee in preparation for
which conferences are now under
way, there will be'just two important
items of business. One will be the
selection of a new chairman to suc
ceed Will Hays. The new chairman
likely will be ex-Kepresentative John
iiiams of Iowa.
That part of the business will be
quickly out of the way. But there
after will come a detail of re-organization,
which is right now the cause
of tense controversy. The proposal,
in short, Is to change the entire basis
of the republican party in the south.
Those who want to do away with the
ancient scandal of the "southern dele
gate" propose that hereafter the re
publican party shall rest upon the
same basis in the south as does the
democratic party.
Negroes Kept From Voting.
In the southern states large num
bers of negroes are prevented from
voting by state laws, which laws have
been held to be constitutional by the
supreme court of the United States.
At present, the bulk of the republican
party in the south is made up of
these disfranchised negroee. The new
proposal is that the republican party
shall recognize state laws In the south
and everywhere else, Just as tne
democrats do. The suggested rule Is
that hereafter no Derson can be
delegate to a republican national
convention or take part in a republi
can Drimarv or in a republican local
convention unless he Is a qualified
voter of the state in which he lives
and has voted in that state.
The practical working out of this
rule would make the republican part
in the south a white man"s party to
the same extent practically as Is the
democratic party.
Tito Groups Oppose Plna.
The suggested rule is opposed by
two groups In the republican party,
which compose a curious combination
of principle and politics. One large
section of the republican party in the
north thinks the party should con
tinue to stand as It has always stood
since the civil war the friend and
protector of the negro. To these
groups are joined a group of old-time
republican leaders of the "hard boiled"
type who have been doing business
with typical southern delegates in
every republican national convention
for a generation or more. They do
not want to abandon the system.
It is not merely that they are anx
ious to maintain an institution which
in the past has frequently been an
occasion of corruption. : It is. rather
out of a feeling of personal loyalty
that they do not want to throw over
board old friends whose political
capital and standing In life rests upon
the fungus republican party of the
south.
Negro Harmed. Say Advocntes.
The more forward looking republic
an leaders who want to adopt the new
rule say the negro in the south has
been harmed 'by being used as politi
cal capital by white leaders of dubious
standing, who trade with them as
pawns in national conventions. They
say the experiment of trying to force
local southern communities to permit
negroes to vote against the will of the
white communities has gone on for
nearly 60 years, that it has never
been successful, and has always made
mischief.
The only sound way for the south
ern negro to become a voter is to so
impress Ms character on his white
neighbors that they are willing to
give him the franchise. That process
is going on all the time and the
number of negroes who have the
franchise constantly increases. The
position of the negro in the south as
oisewhere becomes better every year,
and his worst handicap is the so
called white friend who uses him as
a political pawn.
Innovation Likely to Snceeefl.
The innovation of doing away with
the "southern delegate" scandal and
making the republican party in the
south a white man's party, the same
as the democratic party probably will
succeed. There is little doubt that
Presiden t Harding favors it. His is
the first republican administration
since the civil war which has not
thrust colored postmasters and other
colored officeholders on white com
munities who resent them. In addi
tion to President Harding many other
forces are behind the proposed inno
vation. SLAYING 4 MATES CHARGE

surance company which has its head
quarters in Boise.
Edward Dooley, the first husband,
was insured on May 8. 1915. He died
on August 9, 1915. of alleged typhoid.
The amount of the insurance policy
was S2000. This was collected.
Robert C. Dooley of Filer, a brother
of Edward Dooley, and a bro-ther-ln-law
of the then Mrs. Dooley, was in
sured. May 3. 1915. He died October
1, 1915, of alleged typhoid. The in
surance policy was a joint one with
l.ula Dooley named as a party to it.
The amount of insurance carried was
Ji.'iOO. Mrs. Dooley made proof of
death and the surviving benificiary
and collected $2500 insurance. On Au--gust
10, a baby, the off spring of
Edward Dooley and Lydia Dooley,
died. That was six weeks after the
death of Robert C. Dooley.
Later Mrs. Dooley was married to
William G. McHaffie. He was in
duced to take out an insurance policy
for faOOO bv his wife, it was alleged.
McHaffie died October 22, 1918. The
socond premium was unpaid and the
policy lapsed. Death occurred at Twin
Falls. Mrs. McHaffie failed to col
lect the insurance tor that reason.
Becoming suspicious of the sudden
leath of McHaffie, the authorities
investigated the cause. It was al
leged that arsenic was found in the
stomach.
The next beard of Mrs. Dooley Mc
Haffie was in Montana. There she
married Harlan C. Lewis of Billings.
On June 14, 1919. Lewis was alleged
to have been induced by his wife to
take out an insurance policy with a
Spokane company. It was for $5000.
The beneficiary named was Lydia
Ltwls. Lewis died July 6, 1919. The
stated causa of death was "euremia"
following acute neuritis. The body
later was exhumed and arsenic in
large quantities was found in the
stomach.
Mrs. Lewis, the authorities said,
collected the insurance after submit
ting proof of death.
Returning to Twin Falls, where she
was employed In a restaurant, Mrs.
Dooley-McHaffie-Lewis married Ed
ward F. Meier of Twin Falls, a highly
respected citizen of that county. Later
he visited the local office of the Idaho
State Life insurance company and ap
plied for insurance. He wanted a
$5000 police. Later, after consulting
with his wife, he returned to the of
fice and asked to have the policy made
out for tlO,(M)0. This policy was never
issued. On September 7, 120, Meier
died. The cause of death was given
as "atypical" typhoid. The authorities
became suspicious. An autopsy was
held. Arsenic was found In the
stomach.
At this time and just before the
funeral of Meier an agent of the New
World Life Insurance company, who
was then in Twin Falls, met Mrs.
Meier on the street and not knowing
of her marriage or the death of her
husband, spoke to her, calling her
Mrs. Lewis, for he had known her by
that name in Billings when he insured
her husband. He made the settlement
after the death of Lewis and paid the
$5000 to Mrs. Meier, then Mrs. Lewis.
Mrs. Meier refused at first to speak
to the agent, but later reconsidered
and, it was alleged, fearing detection
she informed him that she did not care
to be known as Mrs. Lewis at Twin
Falls: that her name was Meier and
that her husband had just died. This
aroused the curiosity of the agen
who, on meeting some friends later
told them of the incident. The
thorities were then in possession of
the clew that took them to Billing3
to Investigate the death of Lewis.
It was the Montana investigation
that placed the authorities in posses
sion of the evidence they believe
will result in the conviction of th
accused' woman.
The body of Lewis was exhumed".
Arsenic was found. An- investigation
was made of the quarters in which
the Lewises had lived. Then the pro
prietress was queried. She said she
had her suspicions about the cause
of Lewis' death, but she could give
no clue as to what brought it about.
She was asked if there had been any
thing left in the apartments of the
Lewises that would throw any light
on the subject. 'The woman replied
that she had taken all of the things
and placed them in the cellar and that
they were there yet.
The authorities found a barrel into
which the thinks taken from the Lewis
apartments had been placed. Included
among them was a large amount of
common poison fly paper. Some of
this was torn into small bits and had
been soaked in water, the arsenic in
the paper having been rajnoved in this
way, it was alleged. The authorities
declared that the arsenic in this solu
tion form was given the various vie
tims of the Twin Falls woman. To
drink it was fatal.
When the authorities told Mrs.
Mayer after the death of her husband
in Twin Falls that they desired to
hold an autopsy, she demanded to
know what that meant. When in
formed as to the meaning of the
word, she was alleged to have said:
"Go ahead and cut him up all you
want to.
Turning to her proprietress, Mrs
Meier said: "They want to cut Ed
up, and I told them to go ahead. They
tmnK they can find poison, but Im
going to get out of here before they
ao.
It was when she failed to collect
the insurance on the policy that Meier
had taken out that Mrs. Meier left for
Los Angeles and later was married to
Southard. She is the daughter of
Oliver Trueblood of Twin Falls, a
highly substantial citizen of that sec
tion of the state.
The Idaho state chemist, Edward
Rhodenbaugh, examined part of the
contents of Meier's stomach sent to
Boise some weeks ago. Arsenic was
discovered.

CHIEF RAIL BLIRDErJ
Union Pacific Official Testi
fies on Situation.
HIGHER RATES NO RELIEF
Chairman Kruttschnitt Tells Con
gressional Committee AY ages
Are Wrecking Railways.
WASHINGTON. D. C, May 12.
During a long cross-examination be
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee today, Julius Kruttschnitt,
chairman of the board of the South
ern Pacific, held firmly to the views
he had given In direct testimony as
to the causes of the financial plight
of the railroads.
Expenditures for labor, fixed par
tially or wholly by government ac
tion, ' are too high and must be re
duced, the reiterated in reply to
questions.
Present Tevenues as affected by
recent rate advances are justifiable.
he add';d, and must be sustained.
Arguments and queries by sena
tors designed to bring out the views
of the witness, as to whether lower
freight rates might bring the roads
more business and increase profits
out of smaller tolls, met not the
slightest encouragement.
Lines Near Death Throes.
In reply to the suggestion of Sen.
ator Townsend. republican, Michigan,
that railroads might gain popular
favor by dealing with rate reduc
tions and wage reductions at the
same time, the witness retorted that
the railroads are "almost in death
throes."
A similar reply was given Senator
Myers. democrat, Montana, who in
quired as to the possibility of rail
roads attempting to encourage traffic
by granting lower rates. Such a pos
sibility was "speculative," Mr. Krutt
schnitt said, "while losses in revenue
are certain.
Senator poindextor, republican.
Washington, said many complaints
were being voiced because of the
slowness of action by the railroad
labor board in deciding complaints.
Delay Is Serious Factor.
Mr. Kruttschmitt agreed that this
was a difficult factor, and insisted
that the recent increase in freight
rates had not operated to bring about
drop in railway freight business.
The only trouble is. he said, that the
Increase in rates "came simultaneously
with the depression in general busi.
ness."
Haven't you seen the risk of alien
ation of public opinion by that policy
of increasing rates before reducing
wages?" asked Senator Townsend,
republican, Michigan.
Roads In Desperate Situation.
The roads were in ; a desperate
situation," was the reply. "All these
claims for reduction bear the ear
marks of a well planned propaganda
on the present rate structure. : The
fact is that commodities for which
the producers now receive very little
are taxed so very greatly by middle
men and retailers that consumers
must pay altogether disproportionate
prices, while the transportation
charges are very email parts of the
increases."
'If I understand you," said Senator
Townsend, "you have got to have
nearly $1,000,000,000 a year more than
you are now getting, if you are to op
erate these roads properly. How are
you going to get it "
Two Ways Out Proposed.
"There are only two ways increase
revenue or reduce expenses," the wit
ness replied. "The first relief, and it
is substantial, will come from a re
duction in common labor costs. Farm
ers along our lines are employing
men at $1.75 a day for 10 hours. The
railway labor board requires us to
pay several times that. Railroads
must be allowed to purchase their la
bor at market prices, but the board is
very slow to act.
Some of the press reports are get
ting my proposals wrongly. I have ad
vanced reduction of labor costs as
the first and most necessary step.
Less Expense Chief Hope.
The chief hope lies in reduction of
railway expenses. What I have said
about the Panama canal and highway
competition only bore upon the possi-
Dimy or increasing revenues.
labor costs to class one roads were
greater by 115 per cent in 1920 than
they were in 1917, Mr. Kruttschnitt
declared in a statement submitted to
the committee. During the same
period, he added, gross revenues of
the carriers increased less than 54
per cent.
Statistics on labor costs were given
by the witness. Since the Adamson
law was enacted, he said, "labor costs
have been increased by government
action by $2,229,639,957." The tota!
for 1920, he added, was $3,698,216,351.
. Labor ill is Tremendous.
The statement said in part:
"The labor bill to the carriers n
1916, which was before the Adamson
law took effect, stood at $1,468,576,
394. In 1917, when the Adamson law
was in effect, the aggregate com
pensation of the employes of the car
riers of class one amounted to $1,
739.482,142. an increase over 1916 of
$270,905,748.
"This was increased by the rail
road administration in 1918 so that
the labor cost for that year was
$2,613,813,351, or an increase over
1917 of $874,331,209.
Increase More Than Billion.
"This was further increased by the
railroad administration in 1919, so
that the labor cost for 1919 was
$2,843,128,432 or an increase over
1918 of $229,315,081 and an increase
over 1917 of $1,103,646,290, and over
1916 of $1,374,552,038. ,
"This labor cost for 1919 was fur
ther increased by the railroad labor
board in 1920, so that the labor cost
for 1920 was $3,698,216,351 or an in
crease over 1919 of $855,087,919."

planatlon, but was interrupted by Mr.
Volstead, who inquired why cereal
beverages -were not as good for the
invalid as beer with a "kick."
Sardonic Reply Hurled Back.
"Ah, that's the point," replied the
witness. "Near beer is just like near
statesmanship. It can t accomplish
any noticeable result.
"I don't think you know what you
are talking about," returned the
chairman. "Nor do I think your In
suits will get far with the commit
tee.
Several committee members evinced
interest in the kind of diseases for
which the witness said he would pre
scribe beer. Most of them, however,
were said by the witness to yield
slowly to curative treatments. Some
were curable only in exceptional
cases, he added..
E. V. Claypool, superintendent of
the Rhode Island Anti-saloon league
declared that the Volstead law was
unpopular in his state.
Law Enforced, Says Witness.
Asked if the law was being en
forced as veil there as in other sec
tions, he answered:
"Yes, the draft act also was en
forced throughout the United States,
but nevertheless, Bergdoll is in Ger
many and Edsel Ford did not go."
Officials of the American Drug
Manufacturers' association were be
fore the committee to discuss techni
cal provisions of the bill. The asso
elation was represented by spokesmen
as favoring the prohibition of beer,
but as objecting to some of the pro
visions appertaining to their lines of
industry.
Several expressed fear that If the
prescribing of. beer was permitted
drug establishments would be trans
formed into mere dispensers of beer
and that the change would lower the
ethical standard of the business.

BEAUVAIS DOSS GRAXD TOGS
Wonderful Transformation Is
Wrought by Notoriety.
BY JOHN M. GARDINER.
MONTREAL, Quebec, May 12. (Spe
cial.) From shoe packs to daintily
shaped oxfords and from heavy cor
duroy hunting, garments to "jazz"
trousers is somewhat of a transforma
tion, but nevertheless that is the
transformation that Fred Beauvats,
erstwhile guide and co-respondent in
the Stillman divorce suit, has under
gone. The mighty hunter of the north-
land, since acquiring notoriety
through his connection with the Still
man case, has undergone a change
that would cause his acquaintances
of .the vast Quebec bushland to sit
up and marvel. Gone is the -rough
and ready Fred Beauvais, woodsman,
clad in sweater and bush clothing.
In his place we have Fred Beauvais,
startling example of sartorial ele
gance, wearing trousers commonly
affected by three-a-day vaudeville
actdrs, with a four-inch seam down
the sides and cuffs to wonder at.
The steel gray, eyes that in the past
scanned the forest . trails for the
tracks of the moose or caribou are
now camouflaged with demountable
rims of the tortoise shell variety, im
parting to the doughty guide an ap
pearance very similar to a certain
well-known movie comedian.
His shirts, as varied in hue as ti e
forest in autumn, are of such texture
and quality to make any self-respecting
Celestial glad he is a laundrynvm
and these combined with collars bear-'
ing military -names and ties, more
blessed than the ones that bind, make
Beauvais present "a front - that Foch
would call a "spring offensive."
The stubby briar, that so often
played such an important part in
many of the Beauvais hunting trips,
filled with its quota of "bon tabac
canayon," has abdicated its throne in
favor of the slender cigarette, which
is sometimes replaced by a Havana
of delectable quality. .
And, let it be whispered, the hero of
the bushland is sporting a cigarette
holder anything from eight inches up
in length one of the variety that is
taken down in lengths and reassem
bled whenever its owner feels like
indulging in a cigarette. The one
metamorphosis is complete. The real
Fred Beauvais belongs to the pa9t.
While his old friends may mourn the
loss, his new acquaintances are wel
coming in their midst a "jazz baby
de luxe."
