FOUND DEAD IN CHAIR.
Demise of Colored Woman Due to
Heart Disease.

Acting Coroner Glazebrook was called
upon last night to investigate the death Of
Rebecca Short. eolored forty-nine years of
age whose body was found in a chair at
her home, 1926 I'd street southwest. She
had been dead a considerable time when
her son entered the house and made the
discovery that life was extinct. When he
entered the room he spoke to his mother
and was surprised that she paid no atten-
ton to what he said. Then he walked to
the chair and was shocked to find that she
had passed away. The police were told of
what had occurred Later a message was
sent to the acting coroner telling him that
he was wanted at the house to make an
investigation and give a certificate of
death.
Mrs. Short was an exceptionally large wo-
man and had been a sufferer from heart
disease During the storm yesterday after
noon the loud reports which followed the
flashes of lightning caused her uneasiness.
and 1t is thought may have had an effect
upon the action of the heart. She was
at the dinner table with her family, how
ever and seemed in her usual lively humor
Shortly after dinner she was left alone In
the house.
Acting Coroner GlaZebrook visited the
house and heard statements made by mem
bers of the family respecting her death and
gave a certificate Of death from heart dis
ease.

Mrs. E. A Haines, who runs big de-

Another letter of a characters ic sort
was from the L. p Darrell Advertising
Agency written in display ad form in vari-
colored ink, suggesting the virtue Of pub
licity for the movement, and asking tG be
allowed to take up that end of it.
There was one kick in the batch of mail,
complaining of the delay in delivery of local
freight and the extra charges for hauling
to portions of the city beyond what used to
be known as the boundary. This is a mat
ter OF considerable local interest, and it is
one of the things that the Shippers Asso-
citation will naturally take up among the
many local problems. with view to re-
ducing any inequalities that now exist in
hauling
The work that is now being done by the
committee that has the organization of the
Shippers Association in hand is the APP
pointment of the committees on freight,
publicity and finance. This is a very deli
cate and important work and one on which
much of the future usefulness of the asso-
citation will depend. 1t Is desired that the
men on these committees shall be workers,
men familiar with the business needs of the
city and adequately representative of the
business interests. 1t is in these appoint
ments that the organizers will have a
chance to follow out Mr.. Hbbs suggestion
in getting the leaven of local patriotism TO
work so that there will be no turning back
once the movement gets well started. Every
one is looking forward with interest to
the meeting next Monday and there Is
every prospect of "a full attendance.

POLAND QUITE SUBDUED
THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN KILLED
AND BUSINESS is DEAD.
People, However, Busy Organizing for
Next EIections-Command at
Radon Manned by Bomb.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Dec. H.
Reports received from points through
out Russian Poland show that the
governments policy of firmness has
been successful in subduing the last
of the smoldering sparks of revolu-
ton. This result was accomplished
at terrible cost to the Polish people,
the number of victims being estimated
at thousands. Business has become
stagnant, the trades and industries
are bankrupt and the masses are
dispirited and in a state of poverty.
Reports from Czenstochowa, which
is a typical Polish town with a popu-
lation of about $4,000, including many
Jews, show that seven so.called ter
rorists have been tried by drumhead
court-martial and executed in the last
two days.
In the early part of last week, five
terrOrists were tried, convicted and
shot here, as also we're three at Sier-
adj, near Kalisz, two at Tomaszow
and one at Lomza These executions
have been going on so constantly
throughout Poland generally that it
, has become almost superfuous to re-
peat the daily chronicle of military
executions.
Despite the depressing effect of this
martial rule the Poles are busily en-
gagged in organizing their forces for
the next parliamentary elections.
For the time being party differences
have been forgotten and the national
spirit has brought about a merger of
the three great Polish parties
sentative, progressive and demo.
cratic. These are selecting fusion
candidates representing Polish ma
tional ideals. The new Polish school
system is also bringing out evidence
of national energy, as the permission
| to establish private schools with Pol
| ish teachers has already resulted in
the formation of 800 schools with an
attendance of $4,000 Polish children
Altogether, despite the darkness OF
the present martial conditions, the sit
uation has been somewhat relieved
by new evidences Of the indomitable
spirit of the Polish people asserting
itself.
Radon, Russian Poland, Dec. H.
A bomb was thrown at Col. Plotta
commander of the gend armerie of the
