Hiss Law Attended Iurdue in 102 and 12C3, And was enrolled In he school of engineering. 6h was one of the first young women to invade the engineering department, rvhich Is almost exclusively attended bv members of the male sex. Ehe came to Purdue from Wilton.

N. and during; her career at the university she lived at the home of Prcsidit Wln-throp E. Stone. Being an unusually bright student and eager to become prjriclnt In engineering, the president and faculty members took great Interest Ir her ce and lent her all the assistance possible. the worked with the men In tha firaw-ing-room and laboratories, learning with them the use of machinery and the technical side of eng I neering problems.

In the summer of 13 she left for Chicago and was employed as editor of a publication. Friends here heard from her occasionally and she said she was dpp'y Interested in her work. Her rash act Is only attributable to insanity, her friends here say. She was twenty-eix. years old and unusually attractive in ap- pearance and personality.

CHICAGO, January la a note left by Miss Alice committed suicide at 6427 Indiana, avenue, yesterday, the young woman said: "If I were blind, crippled or had an Incurable disease, the fctate would be obliged to take care of me. So I think I will take advantage of my rights and be burled at the public expense.

The prices charged for a casket and burial are so exorbitant for persons in moderate circumstances it just keeps the entire family In bankruptcy for a year. This condition Is outrageous and I do not want this injustice in my case." Mies. Law was an inveterate reader 8nd was familiar with several languages. One of the books that she read often was a volume on Yogi philosophy and another entitled 'From Incarnation to Itelncarnatlon." by Richard and Isa-blla Ingalese. The latter had many notes on the margin.

Some of these were: "Have pure thoughts. Draw purity by mental effort out of the atmosphere, where divine virtue rests, waiting be demanded. "Make haste slowly to develop. your soul slowly to the divine, as the water illy upon the still lagoon opens Itself -to the light and refreshing mists. Cultivate pure, loving thoughts to all unselfishness that! means each one their right.

"Live peacefully, nobly, not anxiously, but truthfully. In God's love and care." Inquiries at the home of the suicide revealed that musto was the passion of her life. Everything she possessed, even the backs of her letters and the margins of her books, were scrawled with musical phrases. Jotted down apparently to preserve the thought of the -moment. In a.

portfolio she kept a lot of her own cofn-pofltlons. a "ttiackhlU's Walts' and a "Funeral Bong" among others. "tel.e. was a queer girl." said Mrs. Hig-yfns.

at whose home Miss Law roomed. "Her music seemed to be the only thing she cared for, and in all the time she lived w'th me I never knew her to speak of a man In any but a casual way. he used to run away to her room when we had men callers in the house. "There was something almost ghostly In the way she played the piano. I know1 it to be a fact that she never studied music, and yet she could play divinely.

I am a little of a Spiritualist. Sometimes I used to think she was under control. Her chif recreation was attending the Thomas Orchestra concerts. She went at least once every week." Although Miss Law requested In her letter that the State defray her burial expenses, the company by which, she was employed -telegraphed through a representative. C.

23 -Dy a mutual agreement between the attorneys in the trial of Harry A. Axtell, former city treasurer of Bloomlngton, a mass of wearisome evidence In open court was done away with and the trial proper adjourned until 1:30 o'clock to-dayto allow the; lawyers to go, over privately the lara of checks which Axtell pall out while In It was agreed that checks about Which there is no disagreement should be Introduced in a -mass and time for individual consideration th ken only for those on vrhkli the attorneys differ. leclaring It will pro-ve that not a dollar Of the city's money was taken by Axt'ii, and that instead of the aefendant's em- beisling I4S.0U0 "bf the building annotation's money, as i cuared. the ns-rla-atlon really ow him the Is well launched iinto Its caste. Mr.

Axtell was the first wftiiess for the defense, ta'-' lng the stand irecily Mr. East opening statemenL him in the witness box and a vast amount of documentary evidence, the defense to brlr.g out the burden of Its cae. Kast. In his opening speech, did not spare those high In political and municipal authority from his scathing remarks. Scores City Council.

'This Is the case of the great commonwealth of Indiana against Harry A. Axtell, but as we progress with our case we will show that under the cloak of the great commonwealth of Indian hidt-s the. City Council and others who are Inter- -ested In railroading my young friend to the penitentiary." said ilr. Kast, "The evidence of the State Is mostly recorus which were made largely by the two experts employed by the City Council. For twenty years back the city treasurer's books have been In such a state that no one could tell anything about them, and Axtell, when he took charge.

Implored the -City Council, time and again, to have the. books put In shape. Gentlemen, the books are wrong and they always have been wrong. I charge no malicious) change of the records to any one. We' expect to show that the leak was not at 'our end of -the line, but at the other, wher meet the 'five wise men! the City Council twice a month.

1 "These experts, who have never x-n perted anything, say In their opinion that my young friend is short 17,000. I ll tell you what we are going to do. We are going to show you In black and white, by the canceled checks, that Harry K. Axtell never took, unlawfully, one penny of the City's money. The Council was at one, end and Axtell at the other.

Axtell pay-' lng out the money as was his duty, on the order of the Council, until the city was broke, and then they went to- Bed-lord and hired the flower of the Lawrence tounty bar to railroad my young friend to th penitentiary. iU' will show that One of these Items is where the city cf llloomlngton went Into the bloodhound business, paid lloS for a pair of dog that -could not trace a skunk, paid Hill Hloan $12 for their board, and finally sold them for 275. Another item la where three city treasurer's books were sold to the city of Bloomlngton by a local editor for 1175 when they were bought from Bur ford, at Indianapolis for $75." Notes of the Y. W.
