Mrs. Henry G. Wallace Dead.

40 o'clock Mrs. Henry c. Wallace
died at her residence corner of |
10Th and Main streets, from neu-
ralgia of the stomach and heart. |
Mrs. Wallace has been in poor
health for more than year and
confined to her bed since Octo-
Der l, 1909.
Mrs. Wallace's maiden name
was Elizabeth Ann Sharp. She
was born March 2S, 1884, near
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and was
in her 10th year. She moved to
Lexington in 1850, and lived with
her two brothers, Fidelio and Lee
j. Sharp, who were prominent
lawyers in Lexington for many
years. She was the youngest and
only survivor of family of
eight children. On June 4, 1863,
she was married to Henry C. Wal
lace, who died October 1, 1901.
To this union five children were
born; H. G. Wallace, F. Lee Wal
lace and Mrs. Birdie w. MacDon-
aid of this city, and Mrs. George
R. Cooper and Maxwell Wallace
of Kansas City, all of whom sur
vive.
Mrs, Wallace united with the
Baptist church early in life and
was ever a consistent member.
She loved her home and Family,
and the administering to the com
forts of the one and the wants Of
the other, was a great pleasure
to her. She lived in her belief
and was always ready to do a
good act. Her kindnesses were
not confined to her family, but
were distributed to every one in
her acquaintance.
The funeral services were held
at her home on east Main street
on Sunday at 2:30 p. m. They
were conducted by the pastor
Rev. R. Y. Mansfield, assisted by
Revs. Il. c. Gordon, @. M. Rick
man and r. B. Briney of the Pres
byterian, Methodist and Chris
tan churches and were simple
but impressive. Rev A. E. Rog-
ers of Lexington college paid a
beautiful tribute to her memory

SUICIDE OF AGED
SHIP CHANDLER
IS MYSTERIOUS
No Apparent Reason for Rash
Act of A. c. Hobby in
Arlington.

Shortly before 0 o'clock this morning
the Kearny police were notified that
Augustus C. Hobby. a retired ship
chandler, formerly Of West street, New
York. had hanged himself in the attic
of his home at the corner of North
Midland avenue and Alpine place, Ar
lington. An investigation revealed the
fact that the family were very ayerse
to admitting how the deceased met his
death and would neither affirm nor
deny thai Mr. Hobby had committed
suicide. much less would they give any
reason for his rash act.
1t is stated that the deceased had not
been feeling well recently and that he
left his bed at 8 o'clock. when his wife,
Elvina. last saw him. and went to the
attic and ended his life with a halter,
suspending himself from a beam. As
soon > as his absence vas noticed a
search was made for him and, it is
said, that he was found hanging by
the neck in the upper part of the house
at $40 O'Clock.
The body was at nee cut down, 1t
Is asserted, Inc DIR. Widmer M. Dore-
mus was called. When he arrived life
was extinct. Notice was at once given
the Kearny police, and Deputy County
Physician Henry Alters, Of Harrison.
The deceased was &C years old and
leaves, besides his wife, a married
daughter, Mrs. George w. Heath, who
was married a few months ago, and
who lives with her husband on Alpine
place. Mr.. Hobby has been a resident
of Arlington about twenty years. and
the family has long been prominent in
local church and society circles. Thus
far no IA has been given for his
act. Yesterday he was outdoors and
greeted some neighbors pleasantly.

AND GIRL

LONDON THURSDAY
Inspector Dew Ready TO Go
Home with Prisoners on
Next Steamship.

QUEBEC. Aug. 16.-Dr. H. H. Grip
pen and Miss Ethel c. LIE Neve,
charged with the murder of the ply
sician's wife. Belle Elmore, were today
turned over to the custody of Inspector
Dew, of Scotland Yard, and they will
start for England Thursday on the
steamship Royal Edward.
The pair will remain in the prison
here until within a few hours of the
sailing of the Royal Edward.
Miss lie Neve, having been granted
permission, today began answering the
bundle of letters hat were brought
from England by Sergeant Mitchell.
She is likely TO spend her remaining
hours in prison here writing to her
family.
The letters cannot start for England
until Thursday. and win go on the
same steamship with her.
Many Write 10 Prisoners.
The mail for the prisoners continues
to be heavy. The last delivery brought
not less than a dozen letters for Miss
lie Neve. most of which were anony-
nous. All declared deep sympathy for
her.
The principal communication for DR..
Crlppen was q sermon IN pamphlet
form on the text, BE sure your sin
will find you out"
Miss lie Neve has declared repeatedly
that she would do what DIR. Crippen
did; would go where he went.
Nc case in the province in recent
years has been a source of more con-
fusion than this. 1t is practically with
out precedent. Only once before has
the fugitive offenders act been resorted
to in these courts. That was in the
case of an embezzler. and there are
differences between the cases hat rem
dered this other instance of doubtful
service at the present time. Its bear
ing on the Crippen case has been fur
complicated by the fact that eight
days elapsed before the order of sur
render reached the sheriff.

his discovery of the North Pole.
The subcommittee OF the House Conf
mittee on Naval Affairs. which has

olution calling on the Secretary of

ris1iction Peary was exploring In tile
Arctic Circle when he dropped in on
tho pole. to submit to the subcommit-
tee any official reports or proofs that
may have been turned In By Peary
bearing ON hts discovery.
1t was explained by members OF the
subcommittee that the Naval Affairs
Committee had merely general re-
ports that pcary had reached the pole,
and wanted to see something detailed
conclusive and official before going or
record or making any move to ,ewarc
him. Consequently no action was
taken on the Hale and Allen measures

QUESTION OF PRECEDENT
senator Gordon May BE Permitted to

Senator Gordon May Bc Permitted TO
MIKE Farewell ~
Washington, D. c., February pa
One of the burning questions which IL
agitating the Senate is whether Coll
onel Gordon, the retiring Senator from
Mississippi. will be permitted to de-
liver a farewell address In that body.
Senator Gordon said to-day that II
was his desire to say a few words
before retiring. but unforeseen COM
pl!cations in the shape of the election
Of successor have arisen to prevent.
All depends upon the construction of
senatorial precedents. and 1t Is prob
able that these will be decided In the
interest of the venerable MISSISSIPPI
plan. Some of the Senators hold that
now that Mr., Percy has been elected
to the Senate. Mr.. Gordon Is without
rights in that body. Others contend
that he Is entitled to hold his seat
until the certificate of the Mississippi
testifying to the election
of Mr.. Percy Is presented to the Sen
ate. As 1t Is not possible that this
document can reach washington to-
morrow, 1t is believed that Mr.. Gordon
will continue to occupy his seat for
at least another day.
Senator Gordon was to-day awarded
the high distinction OF being invited
by the Nice-Presidcnt to preside over
the Senate.
