SEEKS COIN THAT SAVED HIM.
w. E. D. Stokes Wants Half Dollar
That DETECTED Shot.

NEW YORK, July 5.-W Z. D. Stokes
is making a search for a half dollar
which he believes saved his life by de-
f1ecting a bullet when he was shot while
on a visit to two women in the Varuna
apartments June Z. He paid out this par
ticular piece with other money he had i'm
mediately after the shooting, and al
though he is making thorough search
for it, fears he will be unable to find it
now.
MIR. Stokes has returned from his Long
Branch estate, and declares he has en-
tirely recovered from the effects of the
shooting.
IF 1t had not been for bunch of
keys" he said, while discussing the
shooting. lone of the bullets would have
penetrated a vital spot. and silver half
dollar detected a bullet which had started
for another vital spot
Have you had that half dollar mount
ed?" he was asked.
do you know that piece is about my
only worry l paid it out after the shoot
ing, and while efforts have been made to
trace 1t. they have been in vain. l fear
it will never be located, much less iden-
titled l would like to get it back not
only that it may be used, as evidence, but
as a keepsake On account of it having
been passed from one person to another
SO that it could not be traced, l suppose
it would not have any value in a court
of law as evidence, but that is rot really
necessary. as the surgeons can testify
that the bullet was DETECTED by metal
of some kind

T. &. Boyer of New Bedford in an ad-
dress yesterday before the New England
conference for church work. in progress

THE world is tired of the church of

continued. THE formulas of a Christian
commonwealth are still read in our
churches but they are very little prac-

life after death, but the workingma1
struggling for bread believes that God
ought to prove His justice here. They
want God who is working here today

COURT PAYS TRIBUTE.
Adjourns as Mark of Respect
to John B. SIeman, Jr.
REVIEW OF HIS LIFE WORK
Remarks in Eulogy by Attorney r.
Ross Perry and by Justice
Anderson.

Justice Anderson of the District Su-
preme Court today took cognizance of
the death of John b. Sleman, jr..
member of the bar since 1925. and d.
rected an adjournment of court out of
respect to his memory. The notice or
the death was made to the court by
Attorney r. Ross Perry.
In the course of an elaborate portrayal
OF the character of Mr.. Sleman and of his
life work devoted to the uplift of his fei-
low-men. Mr.. Perry said: From what |
lave learned of him. he realized in his
life that character is of very much more
excellence than mere achievement of pro-
fessional or personal success. Mere intel
lectual success is more or less selfish, but
when a young mans energies are turned
to helping his fellow-man my heartfelt
admiration is demanded and accorded.
Loved His Fellowmen.
After speaking of the almost world
wide results of the humanitarian work OF
Mr.. Sleman Mr.. Perry said he was re-
minded of the dream of Abou Ben Ad-
hem, who besought the recording angel
TO write him down as lone that loved his
fellow-man." Mr.. Perry expressed the
hope that a review of the angels tablets
would show the name of John B. Sleman.
ir.. near that OF Abou Ben Adhem. at
the top of the list whom God has blest."
In conclusion Mr.. Perry declared Wash
ington can i'll afford to lose such a char
acter MIR. Sleman, but that 1t had the
consolation that reward had come to him
before the burden became too great for
him to bear
Justice Anderson, in granting the mo-
ton for adjournment. took occasion to
life work of Mr. Sleman, which he char
acteriZed worldwide. He declared the
whole city of Washington and much
wider circle was shocked to hear of Mr..
Sleman's death. and 1t is not surprising.
he said. that this community Is so deeply
touched thereby.
Justice Anderson told of his personal
acquaintance with Mr. Sleman and of his
cooperation in raising friends for the
Young Mems Christian Association build
ing. The justice declared he was i'm
pressed with the young mans ability,
which grew on him constantly.
But Few Accomplish So Much.
1T is given to but few men to accom-
plish SO much.'' said Justice Anderson.
in SO short a time. He could not have
done SO much but for the fact that his
soul was in sympathy with the work for
humanity, and he threw his whole heart
into the work He was broad minded, I'M
selfish, devoted to his fellow man and did
all in his power to aid him.
Washington should feel the loss" the
court continued, mot only Of fellow
citizen, but a man more widely known
for his age than any other young man of
this country.
The justice declared he had not been
apprised previously Of the fact that Mr..
Sleman was member of the far, but de-
clared the bar was honored in having
him among them. and that his memory
viii be revered and his reputation en-
dure.

Hammond Eulogizes Taft.

Mr. Hammond, replying, devoted his
speech to a character sketch Of President
Taft, whose dearest hope, he said, was
that out of his service to his country
something may come leading to solution
of the problem of the worlds peace.
He expressed the conviction that there
vas no President since Lincoln who could
have so ably guided the ship of state
through the tortuous and treacherous pas
sages to the present happy and united con-
dition. In conclusion, he declared that If
Anglo-Saxon civilization is to hold its
place in the forefront of human NE and
progress carrying the spirit of liberty
to mankind, it must be cherished. not by
an English-speaking people. but by those
in all parts of the world having a COM
mon reverence for it's traditions and a
common determination to maintain its
standards.

CLEARS JEWEL ROBBERY
Edward Taylor, Ex-Convict,
Gives Details of Theft
at ThaW Home.

CHICAGO, July 5.-EdWard Taylor. a
former convict. now in the county Jail,
has made confession to the states at
torney, in which he gives names. time
and much detail regarding the diamond
robbery in the residence of Mrs. William
Thaw in Pittsburg five years ago, the
sensational Alberti jewel robbery on Mil
waukee avenue in this city last year and
a delivery plot for the release of Maurice
Enright labor leader, charged with the
murder of Vincent Altman and William
Gentleman.
TAYLOR agreed. if released. to deliver
the plotters into the hands of the authori-
ties. take them to the Chicago fence
which has bought much of the robber
bands loot and try to locate the cache
where unsold jewels have been hidden.
Jewels Worth $4,000 Stolen.
When searched a key was found which
ttted the room of Norman Strauss, a
New York diamond salesman. Strauss was
in the Alberti store on Milwaukee avenue
when a gang OF four robbers drove up
to the store in an automobile. bound its
occupants and escaped with $4,000 in
jewelry. Half of the loot belonged 10
Strauss.
A week ago Taylor wrote to the Pitts
burg police, promising to disclose the
whereabouts OF the Thaw diamonds.
Taylor named Martin Thorsen as the
moving spirit in the Thaw burglary and
the Alberti burglary. Thorsen is now in
the county Jail under indictment for the
Alberti robbery. He also charged Thor
sen with originating the plot for the Jail
delivery of Enright.
His statement indicated a community
of interest between the jewel thieves and
the labor sluggers. who, he said, were
to work the jail delivery together.
