THE MOST DECORATED MAN.

II is usually said that the French are
the people who have the greatest low"
for decorations. and that a FrenChmau
can be recognized anywhere. because
he eats a great quantity OF bread and
wears a red, purple. or green ribbon at
his buttonhole; but the Germans run
the French very close. for, according to
recent statistics. there were over 5000
persons wearing decorations IN the
Fatherland. and by this time IL is esti-
mated that the 10000 must have been
rea ched-
The German official who holds the rec
ord number of decorations Is Count
Augustus Gutenberg. the grand marshal
OF the EmpeF0r's court. for he possesses
no fewer than eighty different decOra-
lions. and has not room enough on his
chest 10 wear them.

GHOST OF MOTHER
Net Knowing Parent Was Dead,
Child Says He Saw Her
in Shroud.

Special to The Journal
Cambridge, Mass, May ls.-A
Hghost story that has many unusual
features and bears upon it's face the
marks of authenticity has startled that
portion Of this city bordering on the
botanical gardens Of Harvard univer-
sity.
A 3-year-old youngster declares that
his mother appeared before him, spoke
his name and held out her arms to him
and at the identical moment the
into a grave several miles away. More
over, the boy didn't know she was
dead. E-y.-
The boy is Walter Landry and his
mother, the wife of William Landry, a
coachman living at At Stearn street,
North Cambridge, died at the city hos
pital a few days ago.
Mary O'Connor, cousin Of Mr.. Ian
dry, tells the story,
N sa dddn%Sy Miss h ocs 1ns to ths %

Boy Crouching in Corner.
"He had barely time to reach the
kitchen when [ heard a scream that
made my blood run cold in my veins.
Rushing down into the kitchen, I found
Walter crouching in the. corner, his
face like chalk, his eyes staring and
pointing with trembling hand across
the room to the sink.
"'See, he cried, there s mamma. -

nothing there. but the little boy per-
sisted.
N'Yes, it g mamma he cried.
"'Her dress is all yellow and he1
hands are out. She said "Hello Wal

break away from me and rush up
stairs.''
That the baby did see something
there is little doubt, for it appears un
likely that child Of three years would
or could perpetrate a hoax.

BAILEY WAS ANGRY

Washington, May l6.-The calm Of

sonal interruption by Senator Bal ley,

that Mr.. Bailey had been responsible

as authority for the statement that Till
man had been suspicious of Bailey who,
1t was also stated, was really opposed
to rate legislation and was also in con-
slant conference with Senator Aldrich
with the purpose of defeating the rate
bill. After this statement had been
read Mr.. Bailey took the floor and said
deliberately: ~
