INSANE SON MURDERS MOTHER
THEN HE SHOOTS HIS FATHER,
INFLICTTNG SERIOUS WOUNDS.
Richa rd Wakeman OF Glen Ridge Had OFTEN
Threatened His Parents-Attacked
Mother With Axe and Told Police His
Father Did It--Not Worried by Crime.


GLEN RIDGE. N. j., March Orchard
Waterman 81 years old who lived with his
parents, John and Augusta Wakeman, at
900 Bloomfield avenue. became violently
insane to-day and attacked his mother
with an axe, inflioting wounds from which
she died at the Mountainside Hospital at
Montolair tonight. He then turned upon
his father and fired four shots at him from
20 calibre revolver.
Two OF his shots caused slight wounds
about the mans head, another grazed
his arm and the fourth shot lodged just
over the heart and may prove serious.
John Wakeman is in the Mountainside
Hospital.
Despite his wounds the father, who was
In the basement OF the house when he was
shot, managed TO reach the upper floor.
When he saw the bleeding form OF his wife
In a chair before the stove he called for
help and aroused the family Of John Jaco-
bus In the next apartment. Percy Jacobus
rushed into the Wakeman home. As he
entered the door young Wakeman fired at
Jacobus, The bullet went wide OF It's
mark.
Young Wakeman did not attempt'to fire
again but rushed out Of the house and ran
toward Bloomfield. At Bloomfield Centre
he met Policeman Baylis and said;
You had better go up TO my home. My
father ~ drunk up tneTe ana mas Juht iIli :
dered my mother with an aIe and also tired
TO kill me.
Baylis observed that there was blood
on the young mans hand and began to
question him about II. The youth grew
excited as he attempted to explain ana
Bayhs decided 10 take him into custody.
He had not gone far when he learned the
facts of the tragedy. He then tookyoung
Wakeman TO the Glen Ridge borough jail.
and the borough authorities were notified
DR. Henry T. Wallace Of Glen Ridge was
called, and Sergt. Brown OF the Glen Ridge
police sent for an ambulance, The police
found the axe With blood upon il in the base
ment where the son had thrown it. Close
by il was found the pistol with which he
had shot his father
Some time ago young Wakeman acted
so strangely that he was sent 10 sani-
tarium and kept there for nine months.
His condition had improved aad ne was
restored TO his parents. The Wakemans
are described by the Jaoobus family as
peaceable neighbors. They had been
married for more than twenty five years.
Richard was their only child and they were
very devoted 10 him. He frequently gave
them with bodily harm that when the
fathers cries for help were heard to-day II
attracted no particular attention among the
neighbors.
AT the Glen Ridge police station tonight
young Wakefnan Insisted that he had not
harmed any one His haud3. still covered
with blood, did not bring him 10 a realiza-
ton Of his crime.
He maintained IA stolid indifference and
reiterated his story that his mother had
been killed 10y his father.

she but some angels dream of modesty,
a dream too rare and pure for earth, an
inspiration too fine for death!
Suddenly the lady was conscious of a
divine awakening. She had loved the
beauty of art-she awoke to the beauty
of life. What picture could compass
this living glory of color, what marbla
goddess could rival the perfect grace
this human maiden in her bath OF
flushing darkening air? Life was after
all the master: art could but follow

The lady had been looking at the
pictures with her friend, the director
of the art museum. Pastures told her
their secrets, as the violin gives its
heart to it's master; M in return she
loved them-yes, and pitied them for
the cold eyes of crowds who came and
gazed and could not understand.
Now let me show you our art
school," said the director, for your
visit to the city is short-who knows
when you will come again?"
So she followed her friend down the
stair and through a long dark corridor.
A number or doors they opened, and
entered large rooms where students
We're at work. This is the class in

Illustrations" or Composition" or
whatever the class might be, and the
lady looked and commented.
At last they paused before a door
screened. The director passed the
screen, opened the door and came back
to her. Here you shall go in alone"
he said. They are sketching from the
nude-this is the women's life class"
Now the lady shivered with dread,
and would have fled away down the
long dark corridor. Yet she dared not

her friend that she, who knew pictures
and loved them-she, the friend of

A Woman Buyers Salary.

or $1,000 a. al INC here and there is
one who gets g salary of $4,000 and
q 1000 asyear. But while some have large
pay, there are more who have not.
There seems to be a tendency to the
subdivision OF departments, and as a
buyer under these conditions requires
less wide experience, as well as less
administrative ability. the pay is not
ias large. For instance. some stores
have a separate department. for corsets,
another for baby clothes and a third for
underwear; while one firm makes still
another distinction with its department
of imported lingerie. On the other hand

There is one woman who has had as
many as eighty girls working under
her at one time. The buyers, as a rule,
cultivate very pleasant relations with
the help. AS business women they real
.ixe that the best o fstheir lives is spent
with the girls" because they can sym
pathize with them in the %hardships Of
store life, they take advantage CT many
opportunities for kindness. The good

makes her particular about many
things. It is needful, too, that her help

that these stones We're a part OF those

be resorted to before these stones could
be obtained. AT clear Spring. Md. one
of the stones was found set up in front
of q place of business. 1t had been
much m%utilated, and inquiry developed
the fact that the owner of the premises
had broken off pieces of the stone from
time to time and pulverized it to fur
nish grit for his chickens.
One OF the stones which had not been
removed from its original position,
near Mount st. Mary's college, at En-

relic hunters until little of 1t remained
above ground. Onetof the crownstones

the peculiar white appearance OF the
stones invited vandalism and the

by small boys throwing other stones
against them.
One OF the most celebrated stones
along the line was dubbed the seces-
