CHILD, DECAPITATED.
Street Car Runs over Son of j
NJ Francois.

A sad fatality occurred at 1850 yester-
day afternoon on the electric extension
of the Seiby avenue car line, in which
little Toy, aged two and a half years,
lost his life. He was playing on the
track near the Prior avenue police sta
ton when an electric Car came along.
Motorman William Lord and Conductor
Anton Stevenson were in charge of the
car
The little fellow was too young to
appreciate the impending danger. The
car came rushing along at a furious
rate and knocked the little fellow down.
The wheels nearly severed the head
from the body, and the child was fright
fully mutllated. The little boys father
name is Joseph NJ. Francois, and he
lives at APO Blair street. The city direc-
tory states that he is in the employ of
T. J. Giesen, and that his occupation is
that of book binder. Lieut.. NJ. Fran
co.'s, of Hook and Ladder Company No.
z, at Merriam Park, is brother of the
child's father.
The point where the accident oc-
cured is distant about 100 yards from
the Prior avenue police station. and the
car that killed the enid was making its
return trip from University avenue.
The child's body was carried into the
station, and Coroner WhTcomb imme
diately notified. Sergt. Klein, of the
Prior avenue station. promptly arrested
both the conductor and molorman.
When Coroner Whitcomb reached the
scene, and made full Investigation, he
concluded that there was not sufficient
evidence of criminal careiessness 10
warrant holding the men longer, and
they were allowed 20 GO.
There was a report abroad that there
was great Indignation over the fatality,
and that if the motorman and conduc-
tor had not been Immediately taken in
charge by the police department. they
would have Jared badly. The police,
however, deny this report.
Coroner Whitcomb stated that he was
undetermined as to whether he will hold
an inquest Oh the child.

Long before the hour of opening the
different classes came marching from
every portion of the city, led by their
teachers, with flying banners and neat
ly dressed in becoming Sabbath attire
They formed apleasing picture as they
were grouped about the state capitol
grounds and in all the streets leading
to the Auditorium, waiting for their
turn to he admitted. 1t took fully all
hour and half to seat the large ag-
gregatlon of people, and when the
classes had all been assigned to their
seats the doors were thrown wide open
and spectators admitted to whatever
room remained unoccupied.
The spacious building was entirely
inadequate to accommodate all who de-
sired to be present. and it was found
necessary to hold an overflow meeting
in Central Presbyterian church, near
by. Inside the auditorium the eye was
greeted by solid mass of humanity,
which filed the hall from floor to cell
ing. All ages were represented. from
the infant III arms to the stately matron,
and the color line was obliterated
There were at least 10000 people crowd
ed into the building. The sixty-two
Sunday schools represented had applied
for 7,S10 seats for the scholars and LAS
seats for teachers and officers, making
total of S,95S, without fguringa single
spectator, of whom there were many.

PAPA CALLED HOME,
Remarkable Scene in a Denver
Gambling House.


Denver Times.
A lady and little boy raided the
Collender club rooms Saturday plight
very effectively. The lady called OH
Robert Colder, in charge of the billiard
room below. and asked if she could go
up stairs to the club rooms, stating that
she thought her husband was there
spending the last dollar he had in the
world.
"Of course" said the polite Bob. Ego
right up there and root him out If you
need any help will go with you"
The modest little lady thanked Gold
er. and said that nothing but dire ex-
tremity would have driven her to in
wade such an establishment. She and
the little lad clambered up the back
stairs that lead from the billiard room
and cautiously entered the gaming
room. 1t was full to crowded with
quents the gaming resort, and the
CHATTER was almost deafening. 1t
looked like hopeless task for the
invader to make the discovery she
wanted, but she undauntediy set to
work. The crowd looked up in aston
isliment to see woman enter. but i'm
mediateiy dismissed the matter from
their minds and resumed business as if
nothing had happened. After a few
sharp giances ABOUT the room the lady,
failing to espy her worthless liege lord,
hit upon aStratagem.
She told her little son to go around
among the manipulators of the green
cloth, and, if he saw his father, tell him
to come hon.. mother wanted him. The
lad did as he was bid aud began sys-
tematic search from table to table. He
had been at it quite while, when a
shrill voice piped out above the uproar
of the room; Here's papa. Come
home; mother wants you"
The man redeemed with extreme
modification. He had been hiding from
his wife the whole evening, and. now
that he was found out. arose from his
seat. dropped his head and followed the
lad to where his mother stood. With a
reproachful Look only that meant vol
umeS to the recreant husband. the lady
took his arm. and together they left the
establishment.
That night the Collender club rooms
closed for good.

BODY IDENTIFIED.
Albert johnson the One Who
Jumped in the River, IN

The body of the ''fioater" found in
the river Saturday afternoon, aud taken
to the morgue. was identified as that of
man named Albert Johnson He
formerly lived in SWede Hollow, where
he has brother and half brother
residing. He left his home a week
ago yesterday. All the circumstances,
his personal description and the way
he Was dressed exactly tally with that
of the man who recently leaped from
the Bethel boat at night. 1t is all inter
esting fact. which assists in confirming
the theory that the body at the morg ue
and the nah VINO leaped from the boat
are one and the same, that an eye witness
who saw the fatal leap, says that his
watch showed that it occurred at ex-
actly at 1920 at night. On the dead
body was found an Elgin watch, the
hands indicating just 1922. The police
argue that it must have taken the water
about two minutes to enter the case and
ekrest thu action of the works.

That Country.
The feature of yesterdays meeting of
the Crusaders Total Abstinence society
was a most excellent and instructive
paper upon Alaska by P. Kayanagh.
He opened by giving the dimensions of
the country-fgures so large as to be
most startling. 1t certainly has the
American characteristic of bigness. Its
coast line is greater than that of the
east and south of the United States.
The British boast OF the fact that the
sun never sets on their dominions. The
statement is equally true of Uncle Sans
domInlons. The western point of Alaska
Is as far west of San Francisco as that
city is west of the eastern shores of
Maine. Thus the sun rises in Maine
before in sets on the western extremity
of Alaska. The gold mines of Alaska
give great promise. The salmon fish.
cries are wonderful-the largest can.

islands. We have all heard much in the
last few years concerning the seal fish

take these Indians out Of the state, and

II was decided. that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all Of the
Philadelphia morning papers ANNOUNCE
ing the arrival at the capital Of Captain
William J. Palmer, stating in what par
ticular lines Of the enemy he had oper-
ated, and adding that he had brought
much important information that could
not be given to the public at the time.
These dispatches appeared next morning
in all the Philadelphia papers, promi-
nently displayed. and Of course reached
the southern lines within 48 hours.
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended. In q little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there was o
vacancy made in the list of the exchanged
men by death. Palmer's friends had
him take the place and name Of the dead
soldier, and he thus escaped and returned
to the service Philadelphia Times.

"Well, whichever Smith wants to get

the porter.
Both these Smiths slammed their doors
with q vehement protestation that they

The right Smith had not been walked

pounded on the door so hard that every
