BISHOP M'CABE HAS
APOPLECTIC STROKE
METHODIST DIVINE STRICKEN AS
HE STEPS UPON FERRYBOAT.
CONDITION FAvoRABLE-cHA
LAIN DURING WAR,

New York, December 11.-Bishop Charles
Cardwell McCabe, who before his cleo
ton to the blshopric of the Methodist
Episcopal church was popularly known
as chaplain McCabe," was stricken with
apoplexy just after he arrived in this
city today lie was at once removed to
the New York hospital, where tonight it
was said that though the outcome of the
bishops attack could not be positively
predicted, his present condition was de-
cidedly favorable to a speedy recovery.
He will remain at the hospital for a few
days at least and probably longer, unless
he wishes 10 leave.
Bishop McCabe makes his home in Phil
adelphia. He came here today from Ter
rington, Conn, on business connected with
church matters. He had stepped briskly
upon a Pennsylvania railroad ferry boat
at the West Twenty-third street terminal
when he suddenly staggered and fell. He
was carried into the ferry house and an
ambulance summoned. The bishop was
unconscious for a few moments, but had
recovered consciousness before he reached
the hospital.
The bishop became known formrely as
Chaplain McCabe because his service

national reputation by his lectures on
army life, and his book, "The Sunny Side

BURNHAM IS FOUND
GUILTY OF LARCENY
Vice President Used Mutual
Reserve Funds
$1,000 BY FALSE ENTRIES
State Shows Check Payable to lnsur-
ance Superintendent Payne and to
Senator PIatts Express
Company.
$1,000 BY FALSE ENTRIES

New York. December 11-George Burn
ham, Jr., a vice president and general
counsel of the Mutual Reserve Life In
surance company, today was convicted of
larceny of $500 of the company's funds.
The prosecution and conviction of Burn
ham was an outgrowth of the investiga-
ton OF insurance companies in this state
by a legislative committee year ago.
Two other officers of the insurance COM
pany, Frederick A. Burnham president,
and George D. Eldridge, vice president,
were indicted at the same time as the
man who was convicted today. Five in
dictments were returned against each of
the defendants,
The charge against George Burnham,
Jr.. is that in 1901 he paid j. Douglass
Wells with company funds for a loan al
legged to have been made to Frederick A.
Burnham, the president. and that the pay
ment was concealed by false entries in
the books of the insurance company.
One of the sensational features of the
trial which ended today was the produe-
tion OF a check by the prosecution which
bore the name Of Louis F. Payne, former
superintendent of insurance, and the
United States Express company, of which
United States Senator Platt is president.
1t was not claimed. however that Burn
ham paid the amount of this check to
Mr.. Payne but that it was used to re-
slst an alleged demand by Payne for
100000 from the lifa llenpance company.
Tue prosecution ehFrgeH that President
Frederick A Burnham borrowed $5575
| from j. Douglas Wells saying that he
wanted the money to meet this alleged
demand by Payne. and that George Burn
ham repaid this loan with additions from
the funds of the company.
In charging the Jury Justice Greenbaum
said that in order to arrive at a verdict
of guilty it must be found that the al
legged fraud was committed with felonious
intent. The jury was out four hours be-
fore returning a verdict of guilty. BY re-
quest of his counsel further proceedings
were postponed until Friday and Burn
ham was remanded to the Tombs prison.

WANTS REVISION
OF CONSTITUTION
MR.. DE ARMOND SAYS ARTICLES
MIGHT BE AMENDED TO SUIT
coNpITIoNS-GR oP-
POSED TO LATE ELECTIONS.

washington, December 11.-While the
executive appropriation bill was under
consideration in the House today Repre-
sentative DeArmond of Missouri spoke
at length on the advisability of a general
revision of the constitution, saying that
many of the articles might be amended
to suit conditions. He contended that the
principle of initiative and referendum
should be written into the constitution.
He called attention to the discussion GO
ing on throughout the country over the
length of the Presidents term, and he
was of the opinion that something should
he done toward meeting the desires of
this large element.
New constitutions of the several
states" said Mr. DeArmond, 'are plac-
ing in the hands of the executive power
to veto items in appropriation bills. This
power should be given to the President,
for it would be of incalcuable benefit and
protect the treasury in numberless
ways"
That Congress should meet shortly after
election and not thirteen months after,
was another suggestion. He also con-
tended for more expeultlouS way ol
removing a federal judge recreant to his
trust
In reply to Mr. DeArmond's plea for a
change to permit legislators to finish their
two years term prior to the election of
their successors, Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio
said he entered his solemn protest against
such legislation.

late hour tonight for the purpose of per-
sonally reading the kilograms and going
over certain documents concerning the
situation in France. With him at work
is Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secre-
tary of state, who is proving an indefatlg-
able assistant.
Both the Pope and the cardinal are be-
ing aided by the substitute secretary of
STATELY Monsignor Della Chiesa, and the
secret,ry ordinary of ecclesiastical af-
fairs. Monsignor Gaspari. Persons thor
oughly familiar with vatican affairs de-
clare that no such excitement and appre-
henson has prevailed at the vatican as
tonight since the loss of temporal power.

MANSLAUGHTER IS
VERDICT OF JURY
Mrs, Birdsong Sobs With Child
in Her Arms
SAD SCENE IN COURT ROOM
Friends So Sure of AcqulttaI They Had
Left-Senator McLaurin Returns
to Move for New
Trial.
SAD SCENE IN COURT ROOM

Hazlehurst, Miss, December 11.-In one
of the saddest court room scenes on record
in this state, Mrs. Angie Birdsong was
today found guilty of manslaughter for
killing DR.. Thomas Butler and was recom-
mended to the mercy of the court. After
the verdict, while the young defendant
sat crying with young child in her
arms, a deputy approached to take her
to jail. When he lifted the child from
its mother, the little one sobbed in fear;
Mama, don't let him have me-
Among those whose eyes filled with
tears at the scene of the verdict, was the
district attorney, whose conduct of the
case secured a conviction, where the ma
jority of those interested looked for either
an acquittal or a mistrial.
So sure had Mrs. Birdsong's friends been
of a favorable verdict that she was near
ly alone in the court room when the jury
entered, even her husband being among
those absent. Mrs. Birdsong was not COM
peeled to remain in jail, but spent the
night under surveillance at a hotel.
Her uncle, United States Senator Nc
Laurin, who had left Hazlehurst, was
telegraphed for to return and make the
motion for a new trial, which the de-
fense announced would be done tomorrow.
The court did not attempt to pass sem
tence today. The minimum penalty for
manslaughter in this state is fine of
$500.
Mrs Birdsong, % years old, and mem
ber Of II leading Mississippi family. in
November, 1905, shot and killed DIR. Thom-
rs Butler, also prominently related. She
alleged that he had boasted of Illicit re-
latlons with her, and that his boasts were
untrue. The tragedy occurred in Month

INHERITANCE TAX
BEST FOR ROMANCE
WUULD KEEP HElRESSES AT
HOME AND INCREASE THEIR
HAPPINESS, SAYS PERKINS OF
NEW YORK.

Washington, December 11.-"Unless the
supreme court should change its views.
there seems no question but that the
general government may constitutionally
impose an inheritance tax was an opin-
ion laid down today in the House by Rep
resentative Perkins of New York, who
spoke at some length on the subject.
Expediency. according to the speaker,
was the only question that should be
debated in connection with an Inheritance
tax.
He said that there was no reason that
a man having $50 100000 to dispose of
should assert the right 90 give every
dollar of it 10 his children.
'1f the father has the desire that his
descendants should be enormously rich

gar desire entitled to no consideration.
he said. Certainly it is no advantage
to have daughters if they are allowed
to inherit a sum so vast that it becomes
temptation to some worthless foreign
nobeman to marry them"
Recent scandals connected with two of
Americas s best known rich families, gave
Mr. Perkins opportunity to say that, 1T
is no advantage to Miss Vanderbilt or
Miss Gould that enormous fortunes at

diminished inheritances keep American
heiresses at home and render them in
eligible in the eyes of foreign husbands,
their happiness will be increased and the
prosperity of the land will not be dimin-
ished.'
