DEATH OF JULIA WARD HOWE.
End of Career OF Gifted Authoress
and Philanthrorist.


Middletown, r. Julia Ward Howe
is dead. Bowed under the weight of
her 81 years, the noted philanthropist
and authoress succumbed peacefully
to an attack of pneumonia at her
home on Monday.
Julia Ward Howe was born in New
York City on the 9th day of May,
1919.
During the course of her long life
Mrs. Howe was at the very forefront
of many movements which had to do
with American literature, philanthropy
and the emancipation of her sex.
From the early days of her woman
hood she was woman of conse-
quence, woman of affairs. a woman
who had very high conception of
the duties of life. Although of the
gentlest spirit, Mrs. Howe was for
years most ardent woman suffragist.
Mrs. Howe was frequent contribu-
tor to some of the best magazines of
the country. She was also a poetess
who found a ready response In the
hearts of the people and then, as an
evidence of her versatility, she turned
her pen to play writing, at which she
was also successful. Perhaps her
most famous work was the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" which is
taught to every school child in the
country today.

CAPTURE MURDERER
MAN WHO SHOT DOWN SALT
LAKE SCHOOL BOY BELIEVED
TO BE BEHIND BARS.
Hungarian Youth Admits Participation
in Robbery, But Denies That He
Fired Fatal Shots, Placing
Blame Upon a Companion.

Salt Lake City.-It is believed that
the man who murdered Thomas Kar-
rick, the 14-year-old schoolboy, at his
home in this city at noon on October
IL, has been captured.
Julius Szirmay, Hungarian, aged
81, is in prison, and has confessed to
having participated in the robbery OF
the Karrick home, but denies that he
shot the boy. He declares that he had
q companion in the robbery, and, by
Inference, places the blame upon that
person. This companion he declares
he knew ony by the name of Joe. and
had only known him a short time. As
to the present whereabouts of this
mysterious companion, Szirmay de-
clares he has not the slightest idea.
A strong chain of circumstantial
evidence is being woven around the
self-confessed burglar. Three times
since the murder Szirmay has at
tempted suicide. Once, the day fol
lowing the crime, he attempted to end
his life by using chloroform, but was
found by some boys and his life saved,
Again he slashed his wrists with the
blade of safety razor, but declares
that the pain was so great that he
could not go on. Again, he attempted
to throw himself in front of a moving
train, but his courage deserted him.
A saw left in the cellar at the Kar-
rick home led to the Hungarian's ar
rest The ownership of the saw was
traced to a family who had besriended
Szirmay, and its owner admitted he
had loaned the saw to the young man
Szirmay says that when he read in
the newspapers that the saw had been
found in the house he had robbed, he
feared it would be traced back to him.
and that he would be charged with
the murder of the boy.
The officers believe they have a
strong case against Szirmay, and it is
predicted that he will yet confess that
he shot down the boy who had gone
order to get his lunch, discovered a
man burglarizing the house, grappled
with him, or attempted to escape and
give the alarm, and was brutally muir.
dered, three bullets being fired into
his body by the cowardly house.
breaker.
The capture Of the alleged murderer
was made by the sheriff, but talk of
mob violence caused that officer to
take Szirmay to the state prison for
safe keeping.
