TO TO REPLACE E Si KILLED Dying Woman Promises to Guide Husband from Heav- en—Ended Her Life By United Press Leased Wire Newark, Is". J. — With a whispered promise that she would guide her husband from heaven and send him another baby boy to take the place of the one she poisoned, Mrs. Maud M. Fancher. 22 died Monday. The mother, who took poison after administering it to the 2-year-old baby had previously informed the husband, Norman, in a series of letters that a son would be sent him to take the place of the one she was "taking to heaven" with her. "Remember", one of the letters in- formed the husband, "you are going to get yourself another son and a sweet one, too. for 1 am going to guide you from heaven until you do." Mrs. Fancher has lingered between life and death in tho hospital since last Thursday, when the form of her baby with hands clutched tightly around his milk bottle, was found in a cradle beside her. In the bottle police and surgeons say they found poison. The mother also had taken poison. In justification Mrs. Kanchcr told police of her fancied trials and tribu- lations in life and her fear that there would be more of them. Mrs. Fancher said hho was con- vinced she would be able to guide her husband from heaven after death because she had talked with her dead p:ironts at a seance in Detroit some time ago.

The decision was a final victory for the federal government in its second long anti-trust fight against the com- pany. The present suit centered around the practices of the company in leas- ing machines to shoe manufacturers with the socalled "tying clause" con- tracts. These Jeases, the government charged, prohibited manufacturers us- ing machines of the United Shoe Ma- chinery company- and its associated companies from employing machines of competing machinery companies and thus restrained competition in in- terstate commerce. The court Monday affirmed the ac- tion of a district court in St. Louis and in issuing injunctions restraining the continuance of this trade practce. REVOKE LEASES Under the decision all leases made since October 15, 1914. the date of the enactment of the Clayton law must be revoked. The United Shoe Machinery compa- ny conducts virtually all its business on a leasing system, selling few ma- chines outright. The machines are rented to the man- ufacturers of shoes. The government charged that the company not only sought to prevent the manufacturers from using machines of competitors but endeavored through a "factory output" clause in the contracts to con- trol the prices of shoes. An example of the lease, acording to the government, was that "the manufatuors or lesee shall not use any welt sewing, sole stitching, turn sew- ing pulling over or metallic macbinery of competitors upon any shoes while he shall use the machine covered by the lease." The machinery companies of Maine and Now Jersey, as well as tho parent company, claimed their trade practice did not restrain competition and was mainly to protect thrir patents. They asserted a legitimato right to lease their machines ;;s thoy saw fit. The government countered with the charge that the United Companies do domin- ate the industries and shoe manufac- turers were forced to keep competing machines out of (he factories. It was claimed that 95 per cent, of the ma- chines used for buttoning shoes arc under least- from the lTnitcd companies that several competitors have been forced out of business and that tho practice would destroy all competition if unrestrained. The suit was started in 1915. Doctor Drinks Poison; Fails To Save Life By United Press T/aased Wire Chicago—Officials Monday started an investigation into the strange cir- cumstances surrounding the death of Dr. Edward K.

He said we went to get a drink of water and had mistaken a glass in which he had dissolved two tables of bi- chlorida o£ mercury. The fisrht to save th-s doctor's life was directed by the patient himself. He waited calmly for tho end, after drawing up his affairs when he saw' that the tight was to bo unsuccessful.

Charles Mayo of visited Mr. Wilson and pronounced his condition as wma'flkable. j f c attri- buted the restoration almost entirely to Mr. Wilson's indomitable will. Mr. Wilson has obeyed his physicians' in- structions implicitly and has not at- tempted to engage in public, contro- versy or debate. The temptation to do so has at times been overwhelming. Ho hasn't written any books for pub- lication as yet nor has he accepted any of the numerous opportunities of- fered him to write for newspapers on current events. Ho conceives the duty of an ex-president is to keep si- lent. Ho has steadfastly refused to do anything that might embarrass the incumbent president. In this course, Mr. Wilson is said to feel a. certain sense of self-satisfaction for he be- lieves his example is in contrast to the activity of cx-prosidonts dur ing his own term as president. Russia Now Has Backing of Germany in Demands at Genoa Conference Genoa—Germany and Kussia have signed a treaty here reestablishing diplomatic and commercial relations. The Genoa conference was complete- ly overshadowed Monday by official announcement of this event. George Tchitcherin. foreign minister of soviet Russia, and Walter Rath- enau, representing Germany, signed a reciprocal treaty at the Russians' headquarters at Rapallo, near here. "A most favored nation" clause stamps the treaty as a possible basis for a German alliance. The terms of the treaty further show that Germany and Rusia have between themselves agreed upon many of the very points on which the main con- ference is split. CANCEL WAR CLAIMS Respective war claims of the two countries are cancelled. Russia waives any claims to Gorman repara- tions, while the. Germans cancel their claims for losses through soviet na- tionalization of Germany's property or that of German citizens seized in Rus- sia. A clause in the treaty provides that this cancellation is conditional upon Russia's refusal to compensate any other countries. Allied delegates declared the impor- tance of the Russo-Cicrman ;;grcement. plans for which were laid in Berlin when Tchitcherin passed through on his way to Genoa, could not be over emphasized. (United Vress dispatches from Berlin at the time of Tchitchcr- in's visit reported the probability of such nn alliance.) It meant that Rus- sia at Genoa now has the open back- ing of Germany in much for which she stands .-.nd that of the soviet delega- tion leaves summarily it can .still count upon relations with Germany for com- merce xvi th the outside world. The German and Russian represen- tatives got together at Rapallo on a. day when the conference itself ad- journed and concluded their treaty after a brief session. Rxisting treaties, such as t h a t of Brcst-Utovsk. when the bolsheviks surrendered on condition of no fur ther aggression by Germany, nre super- seded by tho present agreement.

Al l that remained to tell of this grim northland tragedy were the trapper's bones, pieces of clothing and a rifle with a broken stock, which were scat- tered over a. considerable distance, but the bones of eleven huge timber wolves which were found near the spot where Cochrane had been attacked, bore tes- timony of the unfortunate man's fierce struggle for life against overwhelming odds.

Tho feeling between the McAdoo and Cox factions of tho Democratic party is very intense and it was gen- erally believed hereabouts that tho McAdoo wing of tho party had been in- fluential in persuading Mr. Wilson to repudiate the Tumulty message.

By United Press Leased Wire Chicago — Storms and floods, un- equalPd in the last half century, swept Illinois and Indiana Monday causing hugp property loss and devastating villages and farms. A cyclone during tho night killed seven at Irvington. 111., a village. of 250 in the Illinois coal mining regions. Xearly every building in the village was demolished by the storm, accord- ing to reports brought out by train- men. The Illinois river reached the high- est stage in 50 years, flooding nearly 200.000 acres of fertile farm lands and causing1 intense sufering among fam- ilies driven from their homes. Indiana rivers, running bank full, were further swollen by a cloudburst over the central part of the state Monday. HOMES COLLAPSE In every town along the Illinois river, families driven from their homes wore camped in tents on high ground. Heavy rain and bail storms during the night and today add^il to their discomfort. Danger of disease because of insani tary conditions was being fought by physicians and health au- thorities'. At Benrdstown every downtown bui lding w.is flooded. With their foun- dations undermined by tho swift run- ning water, homes collapsed.

As for tho McAdoo supports, there is no evidence to show they are receiving any direct encouragement from Mr. Wilson. There is on the contrary every rea- son to believe that for the present at least Mr. Wilson is trying (o keep hands off and is anxious to have the Democrats of the country know ho is maintaining absolute neutrality. This may be one reason why he was irri- tated over the use made of the Tum- ulty message by some of those who interpreted it as friendly to the politi- cal fortunes of James M. Cox.
