solemn, quiet house today. 1t is the
house where there was recently revealed
one of the saddest tragedies known in
Chicago for months There the body of
Mrs, Winifred Henry was discovered
clasping the form of her dead son after
she had ended her own life.
The boy had been dead for several days.
The mother held the secret of his death
SO that the body could not be torn from

until. torn with anguish and crazed with
grief. she decided to end her pain by turn
ing on the gas in her room.
Detectives were summoned to the lodg-

woman who lived across the hall from
Mrs. Henry. She had detected escap-
ing gas. The leak was traced to Mrs.
Henry's door.

arms clasped the body of her boy. The

Little at first could be learned of the
dead mother and her child.
Mother and Son Chums.
Only the neighbors and the dodgers
knew that the two had been chums-
the mother had been the idol of the boy
and the boy had been the life of the
mother. Always they had been COM
rades.
A few days ago the boy had been COM

a lingering illness. The mother who had

OF his bed she knelt by his side Through
the day she watched him, and then
through the night, never leaving to eat or
sleep. Neighbors did not come in fire.

was seen by them. they concluded she
had taken her boy to hospital.

FRENCH AvIATORS PROTEST
AWARD IN GERMAN BALLOON
RACE OBJECTED TO.
Towed, When He Could Have Cut
Rope, and Landed in Sea, Con-
trary to Rules, Is Alleged.

PARIS, November 1.-The decision of
the German Aero Club placing Lieut. Col.
Schaeck, the Swiss competitor first on the
list of the competitors for the Coupe In
ternationale des Aeronautes, before the
pilots who descended on land, but at a
shorter distance from the starting point,
is causing a great sensation in French
aeronautic circles. and on all sides pro-
tests are raised.
NJ. jacques F'aure, who was member
of the French team in the contest, says:
Unless the federation Immediately re-
pudiates the verdict of the German club /
shall tender my resignation. / do not
doubt for one moment the decision of the
federation. 1t must apply the rules drawn
up some months ago, in which it is en-
phatically stated that any pilot who de-
scends in the sea must be disqualified.
Could Have Cut Rope.
Lieut.. Col Schaeck descended i'll the
sea, and though he says he was towed
against his will. the argument cannot
hold Many times, even in the neishbor-
hood of Paris. my guide rope has been
seized by peasants. but such incidents
never brought my trip to an end. / sim
ply cut the rope and continued.
Lieut.. Col Schaeck could have done
this if he really intended TO prolong his
journey to the bitter end. 1t cannot be
admitted that the Helvetia was lowed into
port against the wish of its pilot. The
fact that he climbed on the vessel is a
sufficient argument against him.
why cid the French pilots and Lieut..
Dunville stop on the seashore? Simply
because they knew the regulations. |
am not afraid OF the sea. | have proved
this often enough by ms trips across the
channel, but l do not take risks which
prove nothing and which mean disqualir-
cation when they fail
Il am certain the members of the fed
Grafton VIII be unanimous in declaring
that Lieut.. CO... Schaeck. however mar
velous was his voyage, did not comply
with the rules and is disqualified
1t is pointed out. on the other hand,
that the rules in force when the trophy
was presented made no mention of de-
scents in the sea.
