Annapolis, Nd. Dec. 22.-The illustrious
remains of John Paul Jones, America s
greatest naval hero. which now repose in
metal casket on two wooden saw
horses under stairway landing in Ban
croft Hall, will be given third and final
burial in June, as the big event Of Che
week preceding graduation.
At that time the body will be placed
in the memorial crypt under the marble
and granite chapel which forms the key
note OF the reconstructed Naval Acad-
emy. Congress recently appropriated s75,-
900 for the completion OF the crypt. and
the expenditure Of this money will begin
shortly.
Meantime there is a widespread feeling
that a lack of respect is shown in al
lowing the body to remain under the
stairway.

WRIGHT LORIMER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Actor and Author Unable to
Stand Adversely.

New York, Dec. 22.-Disheartened by
continued adversely, and despairing of
eny immediate Improvement in his for
tunes, Walter NJ. S. Lowell, known on
the stage as Wright Lorimer, committed
suicide by inhaling gas to-day in his
apartments at 124 West Sixty-fifth street.
Lowell, who was the author of many
famous plays and was a graduate OF Ok
ford University in England, ended his
life on the very day on which the date
for the trial of his suit against William
Brady, the theatrical man, was arranged.
He had instituted an action against the
theatrical man for $14S,O00 for breach OF
contract in connection with the play en-
t,tleI THE Shepherd King" in which
Lorimer had played the principal role.
When Mr.. Brady heard of the suicide
he declared that he much regretted the
death OF Lorimer and that In view of the
circumstances he would at once surrender
ell his interests in the production of
THE Shepherd King" to Lorimer' S
widow.
When the body of Lowell was found
to-day by the caretaker OF the apartment
house, all the windows in the room
were closed. The keyhole was stuffed
with papers The gas Jets In the Eoom
were turned on in full His head was
found lying entirely within the oven
Of an old gas stove. On the dresser
were a number of old plays in which he
had figured as leading man. Near by
was an empty revolver. In a money
chest was the sum Of 81 cents
A number OF letters were found on the
dresser. One Of these was addressed to
Charles A Meacham, "Ben-Hur" dressing
room, New Amsterdam Theater. He also
left one to his friends" There also were
letters to actors and one to Charles Mac
Kenzie. his lawyer.
One Of the extracts OF the letter adj
dressed to his friends read as follows:

pawn tickets were found. showing that
he had pawned everything that was

PACKERS APPEAL
FOR BIG BUSINESS
Attorneys Impress on Jury
Need for Slow Action.

Chicago, Dec. ga process of injecting
into the minds of the jury which is try
ing the beef packers a realization of the
momentous task before them, how they
hold the fate of a nations industries in
their hands, and may pitch the country
into chaos by their decision, was begun
by attorneys for the defense to-day.
Attorney John S. Miller, wizard of i'm
munity bath and priority immunity fame,
put the finishing touches on a two days
appeal by pointing out to the jury that
the business systems of the country were
on trial, and intimating the dire effects
of anything which might disturb the
even tenor of commerce. His final and
personal appeal to the hearts and pocket
books of the jury was as follows:
You may be rich and living on your
income: you may be poor earning your
living by the sweat of your brow; you
may be a merchant, Manufacturer, or a
farmer; whatever your station in life is
the condition of trade and commerce in
your country vitality affects you"
The weight of responsibility on the
jury was increased by the opening state
ment of Attorney John Barton Payne
when he said that "Whatever affects
Chicago affects every hamlet in the
Middle West
The defense closed its opening state
ments in relays, with Attorney NJ. w.
Borders appearing for the defendants
of the Morris group, Attorney Payne for
Edward Tilden, and Attorney John S.
Miller for the Armour group.
Attorney Borders declared that poll
tics was behind the general prosecution
of trusts. He pointed out that it would
he a physical impossbility for the pack
ers to govern prices except to agree as
to the amount of meat to be shipped
into certain territory and promised that
the government would be unable TO sus-
tain such n charge.
The most startling statement he made
was the admission that a fixed margin
of cost was the same thing as a fixed
price for beef. but denied the existence
of such a fixed margin.

the floor and half way up the wall
when Philip reused himself from what
| he had intended to make the merest
cat-nap on one of the hunks, and with

already in his nostrils.

hours and hours"
Looking fairly at him as he sat
there on the bunk she saw his hands
clutch tightly over the edge OF it;
saw the color go ebbing out of his
face and then come surging back
again. She had seen him do that once
before
"Why-what's the matter, Philip"
she asked.
It's just the wonder of you" he
said slowly; "of waking up to find you
here, busy about this home of our

When they had finished, and while
they still sat face to face across the

for table, Cayley leaned forward q

them vas enveloped in the sapphire
shadow of the cliff. and the little clus-
ter of huts toward which they were
trudging was hardly distinguishable.
1t was not until they had halved the
distance that the girl made out the
little plume of rose-colored smoke that
fioated above Philips newly construct

But the next instant he laid hand
upon her arm and, with the other,
pointed imperatively down the beach
toward the hut. Whether you saw
him before, or not" he said, with q
short grim laugh, you can see him
now"
Looking where he pointed, she saw

one. You're not to be afraid. This is
