Senator William Alden Smith of

Ownership of Telegraph.

Grand Rapids. Mich. Aug T-SenatOr
William Alden Smith indOrses the stand
taken by Senator Burrows on the ques-
ton of government ownership Of The tel
egraph lines of the United States, and ad-
vOcates their inclusion with the postal
service.
The idea of government telegraph SER
vice is not a new one with me-" said the
senator today. 81 have favored il when
ever the time seemed oDportune for many
years, believing it was a natural appur-
teaance to the postal service.
81 think our citizens should be given a
choice of mediums by the government
in communicating with their friends. and
in business way. and that the telegraph
service may appropriately De installed as
a part Of the postal system. We can
then have the privilege of communica ting
by postal card. letter, or wire at mini
mum cost
Generally speaking I am opposed to
any attempt on the part of the govern
ment to invade the field Of individual
activity or legitimate enterprise. [ think
our citizenship is improved and made
more self-reliant when it is permitted to
initiate and carry out enterprises of i'm
portance."

SCATTERED HIS
ASHES ON RIVER
Last Wishes of Camden, N. J.,
Suicide Carried Out by
Faithful Friends.

Philadelphia, Aug-With brief cere-
mony the ashes OF Henry Vanzuelin, the
eccentric Camden man VINO committed
suicide a week ago last Saturday were
cast into the Delaware from the ferry
boat Arctic of the Pennsylvania Railroad
line, yesterday by Bernhard F. Schroe-
der, friend. 1t was in accordance with
the request Of NanZuelin, a Dutch-Ameri-
can, that this unusual means of disposing
of the body occurred.
With few personal friends Schroeder
boarded the ferrybOat exactly at noon
and while the whistles were blowing he
consigned the ashes to the Delaware. At
the time there was stiff breeze blowing
and this caused a large quantity of the
ashes to fail upon the stern of the boat.
No time was lost, however, for they were
at once swept into the wafer Then the
following words We're said by Schroeder:
For as much as it has pleased the Al
mighty Cod in his wise providence to
take out of this world the soul of Henry
Nanzuelin. we, therefore, commit his
ashes to the four winds of heaven and the
waters of the Delaware river, in ac-
cordance with his last wishes. Ashes to
ashes. dust to dust. Amen"
The ashes were in q tin receptacle, and
weighed four pounds and four ounces.
VanzuoliT mad lived in Camden for a
quarter OF a century, having come from
Holland. When his wife died about two
years ago he was greatly depressed and
left the city. He was not seen until
about two weeks ago, when he registered
at the West Jersey hotel under the name
of George Smith He was so well known
however, that his identity was not hid
den long. His actions were such that a
strict watch was kept on him Saturday
night week ago he went to his room
and swallowed laudanum. which resulted
in his death an hour after his admittance
to the Cooper hospital
Besides the body several letters were
found, in which the suicide had left direc-
tions as to the disposal of his body. He
asked that il be cremated and the ashes
be thrown into the middle of the Della
ware He assigned this duty to SchrOe-
der, VINO had known him many years.
Years ago Nanzuein was in the Dutch
army. and was given a medal of honor
for his bravery in one of the wars. He
