Good Training.
From the Chicago Post.

Some 431 rnidshipmen OF the American
training squadron who have been sight
seeing in Berlin report that they have
been puzzled by the number of uniforms
on the streets, not knowing which they
should salute" We hardly blame them
None the less. the mental effort involved
in distinguishing a sub-sergeant of Berlin
police from an admiral in the imperial
navy is the best OF training for the boys.
II is one of those more or less useless
bits of knowledge that go with the max
ing OF that cosmopolitan SAVIOR faire
which a sailor is supposed to possess
After this trying experience in Berlin,
every one of the midshipmites ought to
be able to tell at a glance the chief
porter of a New York hotel from Admiral
Dewey or Gen. Miles.

MAYREFORM SAMMY ALEXANDRIA,
Experiment Tried on Little
italian Boy.
CUTTING OUT HIS ADEN0IDS
Hoped That Change in His Nature
Will Follow the Surgical
Operation.

Samuel Sabato, who is today a patient
In George Washington University Hos
pital, is a plain little twelve-year-old Ital-
ian boy from Willow Tree alley, but he
is also the subject of an experiment
wherein it will be proved. perhaps. that
adenoids in the nose are to be blamed
for the crimes of youth.
Samuel has been to the Juvenile Court
SO often that he looks upon that instItu-
ton as even greater than his own par
ents OF whom he stands in awe. but not
enough awe to keep him from raising
little italian Cain ever SO often
He wandered to the courthouse a few
nights ago and was found asleep on the
steps When aroused ne said:
Il wan see da judge"
Told Troubles to the Judge.
He wouldn't tell any one his troubles,
either, except the judge. Judge De Lacy.
after hearing them, turned him over for
a few prelim,naries to Miss King, proba-
ton officer. Samuel told her his father
beat him too much for not selling news
papers.
ct coma home weeth two, tree news
pane I gotta stuck an cannot sella more.
Mia padre he YER stronga man. He beata
me too much. l no can stay weeth HIM
i wan get judge to let me stay here.
no like mia padre, you bat my life"
''Oh. but doesn't your father have
right to punish your?
mo. He wheep me too hard. Some day
/ belong Camorra. l steeck knife cen hees
back"
but suppose you're bad and / should
whip your" asked Miss King, in lighter
vein. The big brown eyes of the Willow
Tree alley Neapolitan showed that they
were born under the courteous skies of
the Mediterranean, for he dropped his
rough talk and said:
You? Eff you wan wheep me. l keess
your hand"
Hope of Reform.
Miss King had a talk with the judge.
The two remembered numerous occasions
when young Sabato had been before the
bar of justice for all sorts of escapades.
One recent appearance resulted from
Sanuel's ambition to go back to sunny
Eetaly'' and join band Of Sicilians who
live on grapes and gore. He interested
q boarder in his mothers family in this
scheme, and the boarder took it to heart
SO earnestly that he robbed his landlady
of a hundred dollars and disappeared.
Samuel got one OF those lickings to which
he objects. Judge De Lacy has known
the boy long time, and noticed he is
q mouth He determined to
have that fault corrected, 1t is well
known fact that many children of GRIM
inal tendencies are cured by the removal
of adenoids from the nose.
Therefore with the consent of the par
eDts of the youthful Neapolitan, the op-
GRAFTON on the nose was performed yes
terday. Perhaps with the loss of the
adenoids Samuel has suffered, Also
loss of the ambition to loaf under a
friendly sun in a Sicilian vineyard and
levy tribute on the rich traveller who
passes that way.

Jury SOON FINDS SEE
GUILTY OF ABDUCTION
Head of Absolute Life Cult
Faces Prison Term-NeW
Trial Asked.

CHICAGO. July 14-EveIyn Arthur See
founder OF the Absolute Life Cult, was
found guilty last night of the abduc-
tion of Mildred Bridges, his seventeen
year-old disciple. The jury was out a
little more than an hour.
Throughout the trial. and particularly
in the closing hours, the courtroom was
thronged. many of the spectators being
women.
Only one ballot was taken. The statute
fixes the penalty at from one to ten
years in the penitentiary. The jury also
returned a verdict of guilty of contribut-
ing to juvenile delinquency, which had
been incorporated in the abduction
charge Counsel for See offered the claim
that the return of two verdicts made a
new trial necessary and made an i'm
mediate appeal for a retrial of the case.
See was today admitted to bail in the
sum OF 5000.
Girls Found in Sees Flat.
Sees fat, the home of Absolute Life
named In the cult publications as the
house of the Lord" was entered by the
police in January. See was arrested, and
TWO girls. Mona Rees. aged twenty-one,
and Mildred Bridges, aged seventeen.
who had been living III the apartment,
were taken into custody.
The police investigation resulted in
charges OF abduction against See. stephen
Bridges. a wealthy Jeweler, father of
Mildred, whose wife admitted she had
contributed 81 900, $500 and many smaller
monthly sums to Sees support, aided the
police in gaining evidence. He also be-
gan action for divorce and suit for aliena-
ton OF affections against See.
Letters Found in Flat.
While See was in jail, Mrs. See. who
left her husband two years before with
the AID of a professional safe opener,
went TO Sees fat, searched his safe and
obtained many letters from her husband
to Mona and Mildred. as well as others
from the cult leader 10 the two mothers.

Stocker but upon return to the scene
OF the tragedy, found the man was
dead. He was removed to the Knox
undertaking rooms and yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock an inquest was
conducted by Coroner J. F. Rose.
Evidence was insufficient to warrant
the return Of a verdict at that time
evening at 1880.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF TRAGEDY.
There Is scarcely a question as to
how the mans life was brought to
an end, but his reason for commit
ting the rash deed is not apparent.
The revolver which he used was of
the smallest caliber. He took it
from a drawer wherein 1t had been
locked by his wife. No powder mark
was left on his head and the gun was
two feet from the body when the Of
ficer arrived. The room was in a
much disheveled state.
Mrs. Zoeckler told the coroner Of
the domestic troubles and of her hus-
bands condition when he had used
strong drink. She claimed that upon
other occasions he had choked her
and tried to take her life. She her
self has been divorced from two for
mer husbands, and relatives OF the
dead man claim that it was her ac-
ton which drove Zoeckler to his
death. Mrs. Zoeckler, though in &
delicate condition at the present
time, was able to appear before the
coroner's jury yesterday morning.
BORN IN ROCK ISLAND.
Zoeckler was born in Rock Island
Aug. 6, 1886, and had lived here
practically all of his life. He was
a molder by trade. When ne re-
turned from the west a few weeks
ago he secured employment with the
Railway company. He leaves
beside his widow, his mother, Mrs.
Zoeckler, two sisters, Char
lotte Zoeckler. New York. and Mrs

and five brothers, Will in South Da.

and incidentally quarreling over a mao.
When they started in to settle their
differences, the Williams woman got

attitude and was threatening 60 l4OoF

TRAGEDY FROM
DOMESTIC WOE
Fleming Z. Zoeckler Suicides
After Attempting to Kill
His Wife.
MARRIED LESS THAN YEAR
But Cloud of Unhappdness Had Been
lowering for Some Time
Inquest Delayed.

Driven to desperation by domestic
difficulties and drink, Fleming Ely
Zoeckler, "a years old, attempted to
take the life of his wife and failing
in that, turned the muzzle OF a 22-
calibre bulldog revolver against his
right temple, fired and within a short
time gasped his last breath. Satur-
day evening, shortly before o'clock
Zoeckler returned to his home at
1112 Third avenue from work and
left within a few minutes to go to a
grocery store to purchase few sup
plies He had been drinking, said
his wife, and acted strangely. The
couple sat down to supper with two
children in the family and during the
course Of the meal the trouble which
later resulted 80 tragically began
simple question.
Just nine months ago the man and
woman were united in marriage. The
first few months of their life to-
gether was tranquil but later do
nestle disagreements entered with
result that Zoeckler left home and
lived in Omaha for several months.
Two weeks ago he returned and at
the time told his wife that the only
thing that would part them again
would be death and that any difficult
ties would result in the end of 1t
all.
START OF QUARREL.
Saturday evening he asked his
wife what made her seem cross and
downcast and when she refused to
answer she claims he struck her on
the face. She left the house and
went into the back yard. After a
while she returned to the porch and
he appeared, brandishing an open
razor and revolver. She ran
through the house and near the front
door stopped to pick up her little
child by former husband. AS she
did so. Zoeckler fired. The shot went
high and lodged in the door 5amb.
She escaped into the open and
Zoeckler returned to the bedroom.
fired the shot and fell across the bed.
Neighbors summoned the police
and when PatroIman FrankhoUser
appeared the man was gasping Tor
breath. The officer returned to The

PATRIOTISM IS
BISHOPS THEME
Eloquent Sermon Delivered at
First M. e. Church by DR..
j. M. Walden.
TALKS AT BOTH SERVICES
Inspiring Sentiment That Moves Men
in Peace as Well as in
War.

Patriotism was the theme Of the
sermon delivered last evening at the
First Methodist church by Bishop John
NJ. Walden Of Cincinnati. who occupied
the pulpit Of that church at both SER
vices of the day. 1t was an address
full of "reminiscences Of the venerable
OF the people Of the country as well
as of his early work and life.
It was in Kansas before that state
was admitted into the union that he
edited a paper and laid the foundation
for his career.
INSPIRED BY SENTIMENT.
The bishop in the course Of his re-
marks said that patriotism was in
spired by sentiment and that sentiment
becomes the guiding principle in life
The bishop illustrated this fact by the
relating of a visit to Mexico years
ago. He observed there that In every
home and hut as well as in public
buildings and schools, the flag was as
much a part of the building as any
other thing. No home was complete
there without the flag holder and SIS
flag. The fearly training of the child
is so interviewer with the history CT
the flag and the country that patriotism
cannot help but be inspired
IN PEACE AS IN WAR
Patriotism may be manifested IN
times of peace as well as In times Of
war. In order to instill more firmly
such a sentiment into the childr an,
the bishop advocated a change in tbs
methods of teaching history in the
public schools, instead of teaching the
history from the beginning of time and
leading up to the history of this coun-
try, he advocated the idea of teaching
the history of this country from the
time that the child first enters the
school. His own country first and then
patriotism for his own country.
The address in the morning was de-
livered before a large congregation
Sources of Spiritual knowledge" was
the theme.
