rNsuNG HEROES OF THE NORTH

While the world has been thrilled
by the exploits of Pearys and COOKS
and Shackletons, men who have set
forth in well-supplied ships to reveal
the mysteries of Worthless terra in
cognitas, there has been going on IN
the far North, quietly and without
fanfare of trumpets, and amid hard
ships and perils which few polar eX-
plorers encounter, work that within
two yeaSs has entirely changed the
may of the northern quarter of the
continent. And this work has been
carried on by unsung heroes Ike Nc
Cready who went mad and Silkes,
who died-and by others like the man
who wrote down from the desolate
Arctic plain-the Great Barrens-and
said. "I beg to report that our jour
new to Aberdeen Lake was filled with
great danger and misfortune. we
were storm-bound frequently and
| the temperature fell to sixty. Le-
Barge died at Baker Island. Scott
| and 1 pulled in with only two dogs
| living on bark and roots for the last
hundred miles. 1t is unfortunate tha'
three of my fingers were frozen, arc
have been amputated."

SHARP
Trick Is Charged By An
Attorney
Against Alleged Enemies OF
A Detective

Erie, July 25.-The Government
its case today in the trial of Gilbert
b. Perkins, of Pittsburg, and Charles
Franklin, of Philadelphia, charged
with sending Black Hand Letters to
the family of Charles H. Strong, multi
millionaire, in connection with the
desecration of the mausoleum of the
late Congressman Scott, father-in.law
of Mr.. Strong.
Franklin, who is manager for Per
kins at Philadelphia, and who, the
government alleges, Is the author of
the Black Hand letters, was the prin-
cipal witness. He made general de-
nial of the governments allegation.
The sensation OF the day came
when Attorney Thompson, of the de-
fense, said ne proposed to show that
the defendants were in no way con-
nected with the crime charged, and
that they would show to the salts
faction of the court and jury who
wrote the letters to Mr.. Strong. He
stated further that the author of the
letters was in the courtroom, and in
this connection mentioned Thomas j.
Dempsey, manager of detective
agency of this city and Franklin, Pa,
who is under charges of having sent
Black Hand letter to General
Charles Miller, millionaire oil man of
Franklin, demanding $25, 900.
The alleged evidence against Demp-
sey in the Miller case was secured by
the Perkins firm. Attorney Thomp-
son said he would show that q con
spiracy existed between Dempsey and
certain officials, and that the torn
pieces, or irregular parts of letters
had been planted" on Perkins when
he was arrested In indianapolis on
April 10. He also alleged it would
be shown that Detective Dempsey
was in this city when the letters were
sent; that he was In Cleveland, Ohio
when the anonymous letter was mail
ed to Mrs, Strong from that city, and
that he was In indianapolis when G
b. Perkins was arrested.
Attorney Thompson said witnesses
would be brought to testify that
Dempsey had a grudge against Per
kins and his business affairs. and that
Dempsey had said he would get even
with Perkins il it took 20 years tc
do it."

HUMAN
Soul Weighs But One
Ounce

Boston, July 25.-Dr. Duncan Mac.
Dougall, who has been long a stu
dent OF physico-psyc phenomena,
declares his belief, in an interview
here that the human soul weighs from
one-half ounce to nearly An ounce and
II quarter and further that the soul
substance Ia blended with the ploto.
plaam of the brain and spinal cord in
life.
DR.. MaoDougall says It has been his
experience in dozen instances to
watch the dying man or woman
stretched on bed that was part of a
delicately adjusted scale. and to hear
as the patients last breath leaves the
body the noise of the dropping weight,
Again, slttlng In darkened room,
he has watched strong ray of pure
white light rest along the body OF u
dying man, covering him like silver
bar from feet TO head and over the
face.

The Towns

Ashland, July 25.-Ashland county
voted dry yesterday by plurality of
1922, the total vote being 1856 dry and
2464 wet, The vote throughout the

ing manifested The drys conducted
a vigorous speaking campaign for
three weeks prior to the election and
a determined effort was made by both

Ashland, the county seat, went dry

tion under the Beal law In 1907, when
the city voted dry by 305. Loudon-
Vile, the next largest municipality in
the county, voted dry by AZ. Out of
80 precincts, "a voted dry, five wet

occurring, with very little feeling man.
Tested
There IL only one saloon in Ash.
land county and that in Loudonville.
The most OF the county Is already dry

All TO
Goes Into A Stone Wall And
Is Wrecked
When Driver Turned Out To
Avoid Striking A Rig

Miss Ena Henderson, while driving
her automobile on East Gambler street
Monday evening figured in an exciting
smashup in an attempt to avoid run
ming down Mrs. s. G. Dowds and par
ty of friends in carriage Miss Hen
derson by rare presence of mind
turned the automobile to one side and
went past the rig in safety, but before
she could gain control of the machine
the auto ran over the curb stone and
smashed into the stone wall at the
residence of Mr.. William r. Hogue,
corner Gay and Gambler streets. The
two lamps on the machine were brok-
en- off and the radiator crushed in,
One of the rear tires was cut in two
when the machine went over the curb
stone. A number of young ladies were
in the auto with Miss Henderson at
the time, and all escaped injury, al
though quite badly frightened.

exploded? Ii seems impossible that he
should have overlooked this loaded
cartridge.
The officials believe that Daley de.
liberately saved this one cartridge for
the purpose of killing his wife. There
was not another cartridge found in the
house and thorough search was made
by the officers.
Again the officials believe that Dali
ey purchased the revolver in the city of
Detroit for the express purpose Of
shooting his wife.
The officials believe that Daley and
his wife constantly quarreled and it
was on this account that he deserted
his wife and went to Detroit to seek
employment. 1t is stated that while
in Detroit Daley learned of the fact
that his wife was about to cause his
arrest for non-support and in order to
avoid arrest returned to Mt. Vernon,
but this action on the part of his wife
so angered him that he Immediately
purchased revolver and started for
Mt. Vernon. The officials believe that
Daley premeditated the murder in
Detroit and started for Mt Vernon
with the purpose of numbering his wife
Immediately, but his nerve failed him
upon his immediate arrival home.
The officials believe that Daley care
fully laid his plans for the shooting
and that his falling on the body OF
his wife was reasoned out by the man
In his mind before he fired the fatal
shot.
1t Is The further belief OF the officials
that IL the shooting was accidental, as
Daley says 1t was, that the man would
have made some remark to his wife
when he entered the kitchen last Sat
urday night. If 1t was only for the
purpose of frightening his wife, DALEY
would probably have made some re
mark, but according to Dailey's own
story his wife said nothing.
Daley was absolutely unable to tell
how the weapon happened to be dis
charged accidentally and it would
seem very strange that man SO ex
perienced In the use of fire arms as
the defendant and man who spent
much of his time in shooting at q
mark, would be so careless as to ac
cidentally discharge a revolver and es
pecially at such close range to his
wife as he must have been when the
fatal shot was fired.

COLLISION
Between Auto And Trolley
Car In Cleveland

Cleveland, o., July 25.-Four visit
ors from Toledo, were seriously in

which they were riding collided with

The auto contained Miss Ruth An

II, an adopted son of Mr.. Andrews,

enty-first street, son of j. M. Hor
gan, assistant superintendent of the
Toledo division OF the Lake Shore rail
road.
When the machine reached East
Ninety-third street it struck a west
bound Quincy avenue car.
Miss Andrews sustained a broken
arm and n bump on the forehead,

may have concussion of the brain.

REFUSED
To Obey The Orders Of Mayor
Mitchell
Nancy MetCaIf Brought Back
To Serve Sentence

Sheriff Parker returned Monday
evening from Barberton, bringing with
him Nancy Metcalf who was ordered
out of town last week by Mayor Nit
chell. The woman was given a heavy
fine and 80 days in Jail, but the fine
and sentence were suspended upon
condition that the woman go to Gary,
Ind, to make her home with relatives.
1t appears, however, that Nancy did
not go to Gary, but on the other hand
went to Barberton where she has been
staying.
Mayor Mitchell learned OF the fact
and decided that Mrs. Metcalf must
serve her sentence. Accordingly
Sheriff Parker brought the woman
here Monday evening and she is now
locked up in the county Jail.
