ArfVAAAWNAAAAAAWWAwvvl' , Di to Life WOMAN KILLS UNDERTAKER THEN TURNS GUN ON SELF Bodies Were Frozen Indicating Vic tims Had Been Dead for Several Hours Sioux City, la. William F. Dickin son, undertaker, prominent Sioux City business man, and Miss Anna Gid dings, a graduate nurse, wer.o found shot to death in a blood smeared lim ousine on tho Perry creek . road at Thirty-sixth street. That MIhs Glddlngs first shot her companion and then herself id the theory held by the police. A .32 cal iber automatic rovolver was found cluched In her hand. Dickinson's body was found toppled over on the front seat with the head resting against tho right fore door. Ho had been shot once, tho bullet en tering back of tho right ear and pass ing out to tho left of the center of tho temple. The woman's body was In th6 ton noau. Tho bullet which killed her, crashed through tho right temple. Tho bloodbespattered car, which was owned by Dickinson, had rolled from tho right of way into tho northeast corner of tho intersection, where It was found by tho police. Tracks mado by a women's feet to rear of tho spot on which the car had stood before it ran down tho declivity, indi cate that Miss Glddlngs first shot Dickinson and then got out of the automobile. Tho footprints were plainly visible in tho snow. As the glass "in tho loft fore door, which was partly lowered, was stained with a sploch of blood it is thought probnble that Dickinson's body re mained in an upright position until tho lurch of the car as It camo to an abrupt stop In tho ditch threw it to the right. The glass In the right front door was shattored, apparently from tho force of Dickinson's body bolng thrown against it. According to tho police, Miss Gld dlngs probably tried to open tho foro door, but finding Dickinson's body against it, catered tho tonneau in stoad. A farmer living near tho sceno of tho trngety told police that ho heard shots at about 12 o'clock. Tho fact that both bodies wero frozon indicates that tho victims had been dead for at least six hours, police say. A large diamond, in a ring sotting, which was found on tho hand of Miss Glddlngs, was proof that robbery had no place in the motives behind the shooting. Try to Get Charles Out, Budapest.

SENATE Pennsylvania Senator Last of Those Who Dominated G. O. P. for a Generation. Washington, D. C. Tho passing of Boles Penroso marks tho end of an era characterized by the domination of tho senate by eastern senators who woro thomselves great political bosses. It directs attention to tho rise of the west to commanding lnfluenco In congress, a process that has been in progress noticeably for a decade. Ponrose was tho last of tho eastern bosses who dominated tho republican party for a generation and shaped leg islation In the senate. Tho group In cluded such mon as Aldrlch, of Rhode Island; Quay, of Pennsylvania; Hale, of Maine, and Piatt, of Nsw "York, a quartet which ruled congress with an iron hand and dictated tho high protective tariff and other legis lation on which the Industrial and fin ancial interests of tho east waxed fat. Penrose succeeded Quay as boss of Pennsylvania and rose to tjie grand marshal of tho old guard In and out of tho senate. But It was not long before the twilight of tho 'josses set In with tho progressive revolution during tho Roosevelt and Taft admin istrations and Ponrose found hlmsolf tho sole survivor of the old oligarchy. Whilo he lingered the figures of the eastern leaders faded from tho picture and were replaced by western men. With Ponrose gone thpro is not a man left in the senate who holds his stato politically in the hollow of his hand. The only one of the eastern leaders left is Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, and he is not boss of tho stato and never has been. Ho is the republican leader of the senate, but while he reigns he does not rule. The outstanding leaders of the .sen ate today aro such mon of tho west as Cummins and Kenyan of Iowa; Mc Cumber, of North Dakota, who suc ceeds Penrose as chairman of tho fin ance committee; Lenroot, of Wiscon sin; Borah, of Idaho; Johnson, of California, nad Warren, of Wyoming. Senator Watson, of Indiana, falls heir to the mantlo of Penrose as lead er of. the conservative element of tho senate and tho day probably Is not far distant when ho w'ill succeed Sen ator Lodge as the republican leader. vHis influence commands a wider grasp than did that of Ponrose, for Watson can count on the support .of more pro gressive republicans than could the Pennsylvania boss at any period of his career. There will bo a test of this new pow er of the west at no distant date when tho proposal to construct tho St. Lawrence Beaway in cooperation with Canada comes before congress. Tho west Is almost solidly in favor of It. The plan Is being fought in the east. Tho" west has tho power in con gress to put It through. Undersecretary of State Henry P. Fletcher is being considered for ap pointment as senator from Pennsyl vania to fill tho remainder of tho term of tho late Senator Penrose, accord ing to Washington political gossip.
