THE MALoNEY ELoPEMENT.
"Undue Liberty" Says the Pope OF
Mrs Osborne.

ROME. November 14.-"The excessive
liberty granted to young people in Amer
lea may lead to unple asant results
This opinion was expressed by Pope
Plus. it is said, in conversation with Car
inaI Vincenzo Vanutelli about the case
Of Mrs. Helen Maloney Osborn. daughter
of Martin MaIoney of Philadelphia.
Because of the prominence of the Ma
oneys at the Vatican court there has
been much interest in the details that
have been printed here of the trip to
europe Miss Maloncy took with Clark
son and her previous marriage to Os-
BORN. The pope was deeply panied when
the matter came to his attention.
In his anxiety to learn the truth he sum-
moned Cardinal Vanut Iii, whom he
knew to be close friend of Mr.. Maloney.
He inquired for details, but the cardinal
had heard nothing from Mr.. Maloney and
knew nothing but what he had seen in the
press.
In the discussion the pope made the re-
mark quoted above about the liberty
granted the youth Of America.

sCHURMAN DEFENDS CAPITAL.
Wants Tariff Revision With Regard
to Workingman's Needs.

ITHACA. N. Y. November 14.-Presi-
dent j. G. Schurman of Cornell in an ad-
dress to the members of the Civic Club
yesterday urged an investigation as to
that part the tariff plays in regard to
commodities that the workingman needs
and uses most with a view to revision.
DR.. Schurman believes that too much
money Is spent on the army and navy,
and declared that 1t would be for the
best interests of the United States to get
out of the Philippines and the oriental
problem.
The President decries attacks on CAPT
tai, wealth and corporations. All of the
things that distinguish the United States
from savage nation come from the use
of capital, and 1t should be the highest
duty OF legislators to protect property.
The reform movement, he thinks, has
given us a conception and practice of
absolute disinterested public service. Last
years New York leg stature did better
service for the state than any other IN
century. We have also begun to realize
that we must all be subordinate to the
law, and President Roosevelt deserves the
credit for bringing this idea about.

RICH, DIES IN SQUALoR.
Mrs. Barry, Eccentric Recluse,
Found Dead in Her Home.

NEW YORK, November 14-Possessing
a fortune believed to amount to more than
half a million dollars, and living in a
handsome house in fine residential dis
trict. Mrs. Caroline Barry, recluse. sup
posed miser, and one Of Brooklyn's queer
est characters, was found dead yesterday
morning ip her home, All Greene avenue,
a victim of starvation.
Yesterday Mrs. Isabella Ramsdell Of 127
Fort Green place. who had long known
Mrs. Barry, called at the latters house.
She rang the bell repeatedly, but there
was no sign of life about the place, and
she became suspicious that all was not
well with the aged recluse. A policeman
who was called made his way through the
adjoining house into the rear yard of Mrs.
Barry's home. The kitchen door of the
Barry house was unlocked.
Entering, the policeman tumbled across
the body OF Mrs Barry, surrounded by
boxes, barrels. tin cans, cooking utensils
and odds and ends, covered with dust
Coroner's Physician Wuest later perform
ed an autopsy. and said that Mrs Barry
had starved to death. She had appar-
entity been dead from four days to a week
A nephew of Mrs. Barry Is said to live
in Manhattan, and there are other rela-
ttveS who 1t Is expected will come for
ward. If the woman left a will none
could be found in the house yesterday II
Is generally believed that Mrs. Barry
owned many valuable pieces of real es-
tate in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and 1t
Is thought that her fortune amounted to
at least 100000. Public Administrator
Teale has taken charge of the estate.
It seems that Mrs. Barry had a sort of
mania for collecting tin cans, hundreds
of which were found in the house. She
spent much time polishing these worth
less cans until they shone, neglecting
everything else in the house.
Caroline Barry was the widow of Alex
ander Barry. who made fortune in the
manufacture Of patent medicines. He
died about thirty years ago. At that
time the Barrys lived in an old frame
mansion on Clinton avenue, in the heart
of neighborhood where are the homes
of some Of Brooklyn's wealthiest fam
lilies. Mr. and Mrs. Barry travelled a
great deal and spent much time abroad.
After her husbands death, however, NJ IS.
Barry practically cut herself off from
the world.
The old mansion in Clinton avenue
neglected, began to go to decay and be-
came an eyesore to the wealthy neigh
bors. But Mrs. Barry turned a deaf ear
to their urgings that she fix the place
up. Eight years ago. however, a syndi-
cate of neighbors offered her good price
for the property. and with a shrewd and
grim smile she accepted it. Then she
bought the three story brownstone house
In Green avenue and moved into it.
Mrs. Barry first came to the notice of
the public few years ago by taking
