BODY
OF HUSBAND

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec IL
(SpeciaD-The funeral of James J.
Mclaughlin, which was to have been
held today, will not be carried out as
originally planned, because after all
arrangements had been made by the
dead mans sister, Mrs. Sallie Sulli-
van, of 2016 cambridge Street, his
widow arrived on the scene and by
adopting the unusual legal procedure
of taking out writ of replevin OBJ
tanned possession of the corpse.
Mclaughlin who was living at his
sisters during the absence of his
wife in Florida as the manager of a
hotel, died on Sunday Mrs. Sullivan
without notifying the widow prepared
for the funeral. Mrs Mclaughlin
learned of her husbands death
through friends and FASTENED to this
city. The sister refused to give up
the body
Attorney Arthur E. Eaton who act
ed for the widow in securing the writ
took the ground that the corpse was
the property" of Mrs. Mclaughlin
and was subject to replevin. The
widow in her application placed a
valuation of $1,000 on her husbands
body.

REPAYiNG DEBT
OWED TO SOCIETY
Big HdwIey" Speaks From
Rich Experience.

NEW YORK, d e. 17.-(SpeciaD -
William Carroll Woodward, known in
New York prison circles as Big
HaWley," whose criminal career is
replete with sensational incidents
sent for the newspaper reporters
last night and told them that mas
much as society had been generous to
him, he owed to society something
that he wanted to pay before pas
sing from life. Believing that he
might be murdered some day by
either police stool pidgeons or thugs
in the employ of political bosses,
Hawley said he was anxious to pay
the debt he owed society as quickly
as possible.
Hawley invited the newspaper men
to meet him in the cafe of the Park
Avenue Hotel at o'clock last night.
He was there at that hour.
IF you gentlemen will sit down and
smoke a cigar with me for few
minutes" he said, "I'H convince you
that what l once said about the world
being a big bunco game is true.
One-half is busy fleeing the other
half II it keeps on this great Repub-
lie of our will soon go to pieces.
Now / don't desire to pose as a re-
former like these rats who come
out of prison and hurry down to sing
psalms with the Salvation Army
folks while throwing hot air about
their reasons for going wrong, but /
want to do something that will be OF
benefit to society as society has al
ways been good to me-
I'm a poor man today, practically
a tramp, but not day passes that !
don't have to aid thirty or forty
morphine or cocaine wrecks, all OF
whom made their downward start on
cigarettes and then turned to crime.
Then comes the path from prison to
Potter's Field While l myself never
smoked a cigarette in my life | have
served terms in prison in all parts OF
the world l have been in prison in
England, Australia, in Dannemora
Sing, Sing in fact all over. In Danne-
mora cocaine and morphine were
supplied to the convicts by the keep
ers as long as the convicts could
pay for the dope. The keepers were
protected by the prison ring Of poll
ticians, but there was no pro-
lection for the prisoners. 1t would
be better if they were destroyed than
dope be furnished them, for when
they get out of prison their intellects
are gone.
IF some one would establish g
sanitarium for these people and cut
off the prison ring graft of $40 q
pound for gum opium we'd have less
crime in this State"

NAPOLEON HAD
A BRIEF CAREER

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. J. Dec. IL.
-SpeciaD Railroad detectives ar
rested here last Saturday night man,
who called himself Napoleon Bona
parte, and said he was on his way to
Washington to tell President Roose-
welt how to be an Emperor. He was
taken to the Jail and introduced to
Sheriff Church as Mr.. Roosevelt.
The President invited Napoleon to
stay with him for ten days, the time
mentioned in his commitment, and
the Emperor accepted He immediate
ly began to drill the Jail inmates into
a new old guard" but sternly refused
to admit the only Englishman in the
jail.
Meanwhile Henry Hummer, over
seer of the Poor of Piscataway Town
ship, was securing the country for
John SchuIle, a German. He called
at the jail twice, but overlooked Ma
poleon, because he never thought that
his Teutonic charge would adopt a
French name. This morning he hap
pened to catch sight of Napoleon
drilling his recruits.
Here, you John, come out of
that" called Hummer.
John dropped sabre and saluted.
How do, Mr. Hummer" he said. The
overseer got a discharge for John
and trotted him back to the Poor
Farm.

crimes in Australia as Woodward
the American, are all matters of
history. He is man of education,
a clever writer, and an accomplished
musician. When the first fve-cent
pieces with the "V'' on them were
coined, Woodward was arrested for
turning them into counterfeit S.
gold pieces. He escaped from the Sc
cret Service men by jumping from a
train moving over high trestle, and
then paid a blacksmith to remove his
handouts and shackles. He stole a
skiff and made his way down the

Business is Better Than
for a Week.

With yesterdays genial sunshine
dhe holiday shoppers again came
froOping to town and business was
even better than on Monday, which
marked the beginning of the Christ
mas trade in Americas There was
plenty doing yesterday and the mer-
chants felt elated.
when cotton sold in Americas one
season at five cents for the split
silk grades there was a good Christ
mas trade" said a merchant yester-
day morning.
No matter what conditions may be,
people are going TO spend money
at Christmas time.
If the late financial unpleasantness
left its mark in Americas no evidence
of it acn be found in the city's retail
district. There is not the semblance
of a cloud on the horizon Of trade
and an unprecedented season of holt
day shopping is certain. The retail
streets give physical proof" of the fact
that Americas shoppers are not only
turning out in large numbers, but
are spending their money freely.
1t is surprising said a merchant
Yesterday. 1t is true that the
stocks carried this year are espec-
tally attractive and that the assort-
ment is perhaps greater than ever
before, but none expected such a
stream of shoppers this early. And
those who are visiting the stores are
not simply inspecting the stocks.
They are spending their money and
doing it with free hand. Usually

1t was hardly necessary to reassure
candid Americans that a President of
the United States is a man of his
word, but under the circumstances it
was best that the President should
speak The gossip attribpting to him
motives of insincerity and acts Of
selfish purpose must now cease. His
enemies must find some other excuse
for attacking him, now that he has
made it doubly clear that he is not
seeking a third term.

Elk City Won.

In a genuine Oregon downpour,
Elk City's football team defeated
the team of the Toledo High School
yesterday, Thanksgiving day. by a
score of 5 to 0.
Elk City's team was strengthened
since the last game, which, with
the superior weight and speed of the
back field is responsible for their
victory. The Toledo boys, tho out
weighed 10 or 10 lbs. to the man,
played hard snappy ball. As in
the last game many costly fumbles
were made and on offensive the
interference was bad. The failure
OF the men in the line to keep Elk
City's men from tearing through and
tackling the man with the ball was
evident. Elk City played hard ball
They made their yardage by heavy
line plunges and wide end runs.
For Toledo, Nelson, Plunkett and
Ofstedahl were the stars, Hoehein
made good at center, Pickles in his
new position as quarter played a
gritty game, Hawkins played q
good game at tackle, in the last hall
he did the kicking for Toledo and
made some long ones. Woods LIE.
and Abbey L.G. played the game
for Elk City, Abbey's 30 yard run
for touchdown was a sensational
feature of the game.

1000 Mid Cases Of Measles.

That the epidemic OF measles Is
now nearly over in Pendseton is de
elared by the physicians OF that
place, who for a time wene kept ex-
,remeiy busy attending those who
we're afflicted. Most OF the cases are
now recovered. and but few new
ones are reported.
During the past spring almost ev-
cry family in the city was affected
With the disorder, and there were
probably 1000 cases ala told within
the city. However, the disease was
always in a mild form, and not a
single death occurred. In many in
stances the disease was so mild that
patients never broke out, though
showing the other symptoms.
