DIR. WILSON'S STATEMENT
DR. Wilson's unofficial statement
made this cVenhg is as follows:
II performed the autopsy upon
the body. and while | am unwilling
to be quoted as announcing the def
mite result of tho inquest. i'm advance
of any evidence before the coroncr's
jury, ! am willing, in view of the
great public interest in this case. To
make some of the facts clear
Tho body of the child was i'm a
well preserved condition. due. posi-
bly, To the heavy clothing he wa
wearing There were no outward
INJURIES observable, excepting n
slight abrasion over the left eve.
which could not have been serious.
and slight discoloration upon one
side of the neck. which upon cxami-
nation. however. proved not to have
reached the innor skin
The liver was the only organ
which appeared to be congcstcd
The lungs were absolutely collapsed
They contained no sign of water. and
this fact makes It certain that a..
was not caused by drowning. tn,
entire body showed signs OF having
been part of the time above water
and part of the time under water
but death was not caused by water
II should say that death was caus-
ed by exposure. I might possibly
assign starvation aS an additional
cause, but would prefer not to com.
init myself upon this at present
There was absolutely no trace ol
food. This matter was gone into care
fully by all the physicians and cx.
cited considerable interest I'm fact

child certainly lived for from n to
rs hours after eating his last meal
No one can tell positively how
long the child had been dead. !
should say at least four To- six weeks.
but at the same time the body was
well preserved We have had some
worry warm weather since the attn of
March, but the effect OF this upon
the body would depend largely upon
where the body was at the time"

ANGRY IRISH SAVE
BRIAN BORU RELIC
Historic Mound Of Clontarf, Where
King Fought, Rescued
from Van5als.

DUBLIN, Jan. 1e.-PatriOtic Irishmen
have saved the historic mound al Clon-
tart. near Dublin, from the vandalism
OF the Dublin municipality which had
actually commenced fits destruction.
The mound is regarded as a monument
commemorative the battle fought there
800 years ago between King Brian Boru
and the Danes. and as the tomb Of the
Irish heroes who fell IN the fray.
The leveling of the mound was un-
dertaken by the city as a means Of re-
lieving the distress among the Dublin
unemployed, but as soon as the national
patriotic societies heard OF it they or
ganized an indignation meeting, where
q resolution was adopted protesting
against the ''unspeakable act Of van
dalism" and "ghoulish operations
which threatened the generated and
historic mound"
The opinion of the meeting was tele-
graphed 10 the lord mayor, who
promptly visited Clontarf He ordered
the operations TO cease forthwith and
every particle OF soil that had been re-
moved from the historic spot to be
restored.

Princess Ballet Dancer.
A real princess, and a Russian one at

little white trunks which are called in

'Cordelia" IN the salons OF Countess
MARITIME de Beara.
II would be impossible 70 describe the
spectacle. Princess Abameleck is pretty.
but she has not much ability as

outrageously conceited. When, after

singsong.
She stood looking off across the
valley with leveled eyes.
'T'm going back" she said, de

"I'm going back and build up my
playhouse again"
The mans gaze rested on her with
lingering interest. The keen pene-
tration of his intellect began to
compass her nature.
She was the kind of girl, he told
himself, who would be an idealist
to the end. The tender, impractical
woman over whom the man that
loved her-if he were self-confdent
and successful-would whisper in
his heart "angel."
She turned to him merrily.
"I'm surely going back and build
up my playhouse again." she reit-
Grated.
Her picturesque whimsicalness as
she said this brought back to the
man a sharp consciousness of where
and what she was. From that mo-
ment there seemed to him less sum
shine in the morning.

said, decisively, keeping to the
thought that had taken her fancy as
one would with a child, 81 want you
