CORPSE" WOKE UP
AND TALKED 1T OVER

Des Moines, Ia, June 3-"What can
l do for you, coroner?" said Pat War
ner, and Polk County's official inquest
holder gasped with astonishment as
the corpse which he had come to
examine, propounded the startling
query and sat upright upon the cot at
the police station.
Warner was picked up in an alley
last night. His face was crushed be-
yond recognition and there was long
cash on top Of his head. The police
ambulance corps pronounced him dead.
Detectives were busily engaged in
running down clues of the supposed
murderer, when Warner emerged from
the sleep which Coroner Beck was
about to proclaim officially the sleep
of death.

the admiral's action in surrendering his
warships should not be condemned un-
til the circumstances become fully
known. The majority say they could
!. forgive anything but surrender and
point to the precedent set in the case of
the Russian warship Raphael. which In
1890, during the Russo Turkish war;
struck its colors to three Turkish silips
which surrounded It. salfs 4sl
Nicholas meted out a terrible pun
isllnlent to the officers and crew OF the
Raphael, ordering that all of them
should be shot after their exchange and
directing that if the ship should ever
be recaptured Its Infamous history
should Be blotted out by tie total de-
stfuction of the vessel.
The Raphael, strange to say, was re.
captured thirty-f four years later, at Sin
