While worshipping at the forty hours
devotions at the Cathedral of ST. John
the Baptist last night, Mrs. Margaret
w. Dowell suffered an attack of heart
failure. Accompanied by her daughter
Miss Carrie Dowell, she left the church
as soon as she began to grow faint
from the attack. Anxious to gain some
place where relief might be admins
tered, the mother and daughter made
their way to a neighboring house
There Mrs. Dowell sank upon the
stoop, while the daughter rang the bell
to appeal for aid. When the occupants
of the house reached the door, the
stricken lady was dead. She was rar-
ried into the house and two physicians
were summoned. Upon their arrival
they pronounced the lady dead.
The body was later removed to the
home, No. 171e Habersham street,
whence the ladies' had gone to the serv-
a parishicner of the Sacred Heart
Church. Rev. Father Aloysius,
pastor of the Sacred Heart,
conducted the service at the
Cathedral and it was for the especial
purpose of hearing him that she at
tended. Her last words, as she left the
Cathedral, were of regret that was un-
able to hear Father Aloysius preach.
Mrs. Dowell was 81 years old and the
widow of the late w. T. Dowell. She
was lifelong resident of Savannah,
having been born here, and had many
friends in the city, who will be grieved
to learn of her death. She leaves three
sons and two daughters. The sons are,
Mr. w w Dowell pavrnaster of the
Plant System: Mr.. Louis Dowell, an
engineer on the Plant System, and Mr..
Charles Dowell, also an employe of the
Plant System. The daughters are Mrs.
c. c. Cambridge and Miss Carrie Dow
ell
The funeral will take place this aft
ernoon at ; o'clock from the Sacred
Heart Church. The interment will
take place in Laurel Grove Cemetery.

ACCESS EASIER TO ST. PIERRE.
Definite Facts as TO the Catastrophe
Now Being Obtained.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
May Is, via Paris.-As a result of the
measures taken by the authorities, ac-
cess to st. Pierre is now easier. The
ruins of the town have ceased smok-
ing. Two thousand corpses have been
found in a carbonized condition.
1t has been learned that the rain CT
fire ceased at a distance of 200 yards
of the village Of LIE Garrett.
Talk with survivors of the disaster
confirms previous statements as to the
awful suddenness of the catastrophe.
It is thought that an enormous guam
tity of gas was liberated, producing
great atmospheric pressure which over
whelmed everything before it. The
gases absorbed by the bodies of the
victims caused them to burst, and the
fire coming afterward carbonized them.
This was followed by a rain of stones
which enveloped the town, but there
was not, as has been said, any flow Of
incandeScent lava.

Queer Means by which Currency Is

The regulations of the Treasury De-
partment require that at least three
tffths of bill shall be recovered be-
fore the government will pay for the
mutilated bill. Each mutilated bill is
carefully pasted on backing of paper
the size of the complete bill. The ex-
pert has a piece of glass the exact size
OF the bill. This glass is divided into
forty squares. When placed over the
bill if the expert can find that the
remnants of the bill fill twenty-four
of the squares, or three-fifths of all of
them, the bill will be redeemed.

Burned money is the hardest for the
government experts to work on, with

had been burned to the condition In
which it was forwarded. Evidently
with the idea that the original package
ought not to be broken, the sender in
closed the charred pieces with some
silver coins that had also been badly
burned in the same safe.
During the passage of the money
through the mails the heavy silver was
shaken through the charred bills until
there was hardly a piece left big

ness that had allowed the silver and

She called two OF her assistants and the

WALTER N. HALDEMAN DEAD.
and President of Louisville Cour-
ier-JournaI Company Is No More.

NeneraDte anu veteran Journalist
and President of Louisville COur-
ier"JournaI Company Is No More.
Louisville, May 13.-Walter N. Halde-
man, president of the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal Company and one of the
oldest active newspaper men in the
country died suddenly at o'clock this
morning from the effects of injuries by
being struck by trolley car Saturday
morning. He was over 81 years old.
At the time of the accident it was
not thought that Mr.. Haldemans in
juries, which consisted apparently of a
scalp wound and sprained shoulder.
would result fatally. The change for
the worse. however, came almost with
out warning shortly after 3 o'clock this
morning, and physicians were immedi-
ately summoned to his bedside. He
sank rapidly and shortly after the doc
tors arrived passed away. The MEM
bers Of his family were at his bedside
when he died.
The attending physicians ascribed
death to the development of peritonitis,
intestinal paresis and consequent heart
failure. He was conscious until the
end.
The name of Walter N. Haldeman
was inseparably linked with the his
tory of Journalism in the South and
he was one of the oldest active news
paper men in the country. Although
over 81 years of age he personally di-
rected the affairs of the Courier-J Jour
nal until the time of the accident
which caused is death. Mr.. Haldeman
was born at Maysville, KY, April 81,
1921, and was educated at Maysville
Academy with Gen. U. S. Grant and
other men of note. In 1910 he became
bookkeeper in the Louisville Journal
office and four years later started the
Daily Dime Paper, which was soon
converted into the Louisville Courier
This he conducted until 1851, when it
was suppressed by military domino
ton, Mr.. Haldeman being Confeder-
ate sympathizer. The Courier soon ap-
peared at Bowling Green, Ky, and
then at Nashville, and at the close
of the Civil war Mr.. Haldenan resum-
ed the publication of the Courier in
this city until 1868, when in concert
with Henry Watterson of the Journal
the two papers were consolidated and
appeared as the Louisville Courier
Journal, which has since continued I'M
der the same management. In May,
1884, Mr.. Fadleman started the Even
ing Times.
Mr.. Haldenaan was man of Consid-
cradle wealth and was connected with
a number of business enterprises in the
South, as well as in this city and state.
His wife, a daughter and two sons, w.
