PLANS BIG CHANGE
IN SECRET SERVICE
Department of Justice Ar
ranging to Take Over
Much of Work.

The Department of Justice is making
arrangements to establish permanent
headquarters in the large cities of the
country for its force of secret and spe-
cial agents. This force will supplant
the Secret Service as the great force of
the Government for the detection OF
crime.
Permanent headquarters will be in
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, FL
Paso, San Antonio. New Orleans, Kan
sas City, St. Louis, Denver, Buffalo,
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, and Atlanta. The New York and
Chicago offices have already been es-
tablished, with six men each. Efforts
are now being made to establish several
OF the agents of the department perma-
nently in Philadelphia.
In the past year agents of the Depart
ment of Justice have been gradually
taking over work formerly done by the
Secret Service. Reports are af1oat that
the Secret Service force of the Treasury
will be done away with entirely, and
that all its work will be taken over by
the agents of the Department of Jus
tice, while Chief Wilkie will be perma-
nently deputed as head Of the customs
agents.
The reason advanced for the change
is that Of economy.

Citizens Fight For
First Aid Hospital

Members of Columbia Heights Citi-
xens' Association will make continued
efforts to obtain an emergency hos
pital fer that section of the District
The plan to establish an auxiliary
emergency hospital in connection with
Garfield Hospital again was discussed
at a meeting of the association last
night, and DR.. B. F. Gibbs and others
urged the association to stand strong
ly for it.
The fact that Garfield Hospital is
the center of a large population far
from an emergency hospital and that
not even an ambulance is available
within a long distance, it was said,
made the plan to establish the auxil
iary there an admirable one.
The proposal that nothing be done
to establish an emergency until the
new city hospital is constructed did
not meet with favor. as that project
would keep the community without
Its desired convenience for year or
more.
The association decided that the
committee which raised $500 for the
maintenance of the Fairgrounds at
Fourteenth street and Columbia road
should continue to have custody of 1t
and assure it's application to the pur-
pose for which 1t was collected.
]. Clinton Hiatt introduced a resolu-
ton asking the District for a new
school house. and H. A. Coleman NOV
ed that plans be made to obtain
public hall for Columbia Heights.
The. duties Of parents to the public
schools and the relation of the home
to the school were the themes Of
an address by E. L. Thurston, super
vising principal of the third district.
Mr.. Thurston urged the advisabtlity
of frequent visits by parents to the
schools and a more intimate knowl-
edge of conditions and methods.

A nat for two, cozy and full of joy,

objection. has borne Margaret Naomi

father and Miss Waldron's sister were

The objections proved pretty serious

HEARS TALE
ESPRIT" WIFE TELLS
Real Mrs Prall in Court When Soulmate Relates Incl
dents of Union With Promoter Whose Insur-
ance She Now Claims.

NEW YORK, Jan. "A story of a
married man who lived with woman
other than his wife, because he found
that the soul OF the woman was wed
to his in the spirit world" was re-
counted before Justice Blur in the su-
preme court when Miss Reba Lawson,
a clerk in the comptroller's office.
brought suit to recover a 5000 insur-
ance policy on the life of William E.
Prall from Superintendent Hotchkiss,
liquidator in the Union Life Insurance
Company.
Prall died In Hackettstown, N. j., in
1907, after living with Miss Lawson for
nine years, she asserted, az spirit hus-
band and wife" Two children survive
the spirit marriage.
Mrs. Julia z. Prall, the material
wife" that Prall is said to have left for
his soul partner, was in court to tes-
tify for Superintendent Hotchkiss. al
though she is not party to the suit.
She was accompanied by her young
niece, Miss Helen Healy, who whispered
words of encouragement to her aunt
whenever the older woman seemed over
come at the memories which Miss Law
sons story called up.
Also Wants Policy.
Mrs. Prall admitted on the witness
stand after much hesitation that She
had a hope of recovering the insurance
policy herself should Miss Lawson's
claim be declared invalid. The earthly
vie is now living In Saranac Lake.
where she owns three houses.
Miss Lawson recountcd the history of
her spirit marriage" at some length
for Justice Bijurs benefit. She was
employed, she said, by Prall as private
secretary at a salary of s2.4Oc a year.
PralI was promoting traction and power
companies.
According to Miss Lawson's testimony
Prall was an ardent Spiritualist. So it
was not long after, she assumed her
duties as private secretary before he
learned that their souls had been
welded hy higher power than preacher
of mortal clay.
The same feeling dawned within her.

Hangs Himself AS Joke
And Rescue Fails Him

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 4.-The old
fable Of the boy VINO called wolf,

Illustrated than in the death of Millard
Estep, who accidentally hanged him
self in a cell at the county jail.
1t was Es.ep's habit to pretend to
hang himself and. just as help arrived
to cut him down, he would release him
self and laugh at his ''rescuers." Yes

his calls for help and he was dead

ASKS FOR $4,000.
Associated Committee Issues
Annual Statement of
Its Needs.
OFFICERS ELECTED
FOR ENSUING YEAR
Organization Also Adds to Its
Membership at Yearly
~ Meeting.

That the poor of Washington may be
cared for in their homes; that the des-
titute may not be forced into the street
to sit shivering while they wait for
aims; that the little children of the
penniless may not be driven to seek
charity, publicly begging for a crust of
break-that none OF this may come to
the deserving wards of poverty-the
Associated Charities today made its an
nuaI appeal.
Thirty thousand dollars from the
purses of more than three hundred
thousand residents is what they ask. 1t
is what the organization must have IL it
hopes to carry on the work of succor
and aid among a class of the poor
whose worth is established beyond a
doubt.
The annual finance campaign Of the
Charities and of the Citizens Relief As
sociation was launched officially yester-
day at a meeting of the joint finance
committee at the Chamber Of Com
merce.
The activities of the Associated Chari-
ties are defined for it by the provision
the District makes to care for the sick,
aged, and infirm, in the hospitals and
city institutions, and by the Districts
failure to care for the poor in their
homes. This is left for private charity.
and the Associated Charities is the chan
mel through which these people look
for aid.
Hennen Jennings has come into the
work of the Associated Charities. at
tracted he says by the criticisms which
were made of the work last spring,
and which led him to investigate for
himself
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were: Chairman, Corcoran Thorn;
treasurer, Howard S. Reside; secre-
tary, Walter S. Ufford.
In addition to its present membership
the committee elected the following per-
sons: William P. Emo, George N. Ever
ett, William ]. Eynon, William T. Gal
Mher, William D. Hoover, Frederic L.
Huidekoper, DR.. George NJ. Kober, NJ.
]. Lawrence, George X. McLanahan,
Edgar D. Shaw, Thomas w. Smith, J.

The committee voted to give the
statement to the public inviting its
support in its present campaign to raise
$780, during the next two months.

There they got In touch with the soul
or former wife, who informed Prall,
so the testimony went, that her soul
had been transferred into the temporal
body OF Miss Lawson.
Nine Years Bliss.
Both responded to the call Miss
Lawson said. Then for nine years
they lived together in perfect spiritual
bliss. But at last Mr.. PraIrs mortal
being seemed ailing. They took a
trip abroad together, Miss Lawson tes-.
titled, which lasted year. But PIalrs
earthly frame continued to fail in
spite Of appeals to the spirit world.
They returned to this country and
lived in Philadelphia, where Miss
Lawson tried to nurse PralI back to
life. But at last he felt that he was
dying.
Il was nearly worn out" Miss Law
son exclaimed on the witness stand, "I
not only had to take care of Mr..
Prall, but I had an infant very Ill
with pneumonia Mr.. PraII told me
that he thought ne would go South.
Tor my first duty was to our baby and
l ought to spend all my labors to
bring 1t back to health.
He left me in New York. I was
destitute, impoverished. There was
nothing for the babe and me to eat.
Then 1 learned that he was in Hack
ettestown with his family. I went
there to make him take care of the
baby and me-
Visit to Dying Man.
When arrived telephoned to his
hotel and told his wife that 1 was Mrs.
Prall. who had nursed her husband in
Philadelphia.
Il did this so that I might be ad-
mitted to his room. This happened
only two weeks before his death. When
we were left IN the room alone he
turned to me and cried: For Gods
sake, Reba, don't make a scene. Don't
you see that I'm dying, dying?'"
Prall, Miss Lawson claims, took out
policy of 5000 in the Life Association
of America in in 1901. This he made
over to her. The Life Association sub
sequently changed its name to the
Union Life Insurance Company, and its
affairs were later wound up by Superin-
tendent Hotchltiss.
Wilson B. Brice, attorney for the
superintendent, claims that Prall made
misstatements when he took out the
policy and hence 1t was not valid.
Prall, he asserts, was sixty-hve years
old at the time of his death, whereas
make him only sixty.
Mrs. Prall testified that through an
the nine years covered by Miss Law
sons tale she and her husband wrote
to each other daily, and he kept her
supplied with funds.
