SMOTHERING IN FOLDS OF HIS OWN BODY, MOTORMAN
 DEAKIN WAITS FOR DEATH
Weight Has Increased 255 Pounds in Five Years--Present Weight is 1885 POundS--Diet and Exercise
 UnaVang

Within the last year life has become burdensome to Deakin. Several years of experience on the cars made him a dependable and proficient motorman. Lately it has been a great effort for hlm to get from his home to the car lines. but once settled in his position at the controller box he was as use- full any motorman.
 The constant increase in his weight alarmed DealIin more than three years ago. At that time he was not enor- mously fat, but he resolved to take time by the forelock. if possible, and reduce his weight, or at least to keep from increasing. But Deakin's eff forts at dieting were unavai.ing. He was never a heavy eater. In fact, his physicians were astonished on exani- nation to find that he ate much less than the average man, and never had what would be considered a. hearty ap- petite. Efforts at exercising proved equally unavailing.
 About a month ago Deakin exper- fenced slight mishap for which the company officials suspended him for a few days. When it came time for him to report for work he was unable to do so. He was forced to take to his he'd, weak from the exertion of breath ing.
 Deakin's immense body 1was so far out of proportion to the capacity of h's lungs and heart to replen!sh the vitiated blood, that his body became blue. Physicians attending him at his home felt that the task of caring for him was more than his wife. the. mother of three sma children, could stand. Besides, Deakin's family was dependent wholly upon his earnings, and there were many little things that would make him more comfortable that he couldn't secure at home. They decided the hospital was the best place for him.
 Deakin's case comes under the head ing of obesity. Attending physicians have little hope for his recovery He is well known and popular in the neighborhood of his home, 137 Boards ley street, and the outcome of his af- friction is awaited with much con cern-

 Pretty Girls Death
GreenviIIe Citizens Reuse to Believe Charges Against
 White Haired Preacher
(SpeciaI from United Press. ]

Greenville, Tenn, Jan. 1s-Bowed by the weight of years and grief, Rev. w. D. Mcfarland, clergyman-educator. paced the narrow confines of his cell here, today, pausing now and then to reiterate his innocence of the death of pretty Elsie Dodds Coe. his secretary when he was principal of the Central High Schol of Pittburgh.
 l. County Detective Jerry Lutz is ex- morning, from Pittsburgh and it is expected he will start back with Mo Farland, tomorrow night. Mcfarland according to his jailers, slept little, last night, repeatedly rising to come to the barred door of his cell and declare he did not perform the operation that killed Miss Coe- He still expresses a desire to go back to Pittsburgh that he may prove to the thousands of scholars who once honored him, he says, that he is not guilty.
 It is believed the aged minister will return to Pittsburgh without extradi- ton papers. the necessary documents having: however, been sent to Gov ernor Tyner; for signature and will be they become necessary.
 Mcfarland, after his arrest. was rs; manded to the local jail for three rival of the Pittsbufgh officer. Mo Farland's visitors, today. were his aged wife and his daughter. They wSpt silently as they were SnOWng to the cell. They expressed the utmost confidence in the minister's innocence and declared they would stick to him to the last.
 Greenville citizens. today. refused to- believe the charges against the whitehaired preacher. Since the Me Farlands have been here they have built up a prosperous school in which mother, father and daughter compos> ed the faculty. The elder McF'ar- lands conduct has been absolutely proper in all respects. the townspeo- pie say.
 McFarlands versatility was re- markable to the simple minded peo- pie of Greenville. He was an ordain- ed minister, to them famous teach CT. a we'll known lecturer. a writer of ma gazine stories and was supposed to have been versed in medicine. GreenviIle never knew so accomplish ed an old man and it honored him as such.
 The charges against the minister have proved a great shock to the townspeooie who are stea dfast in thai- belief that he is innocent Both McFarIsnd's wife and daughter prepared. today, to accom- pany him to Pittsburgh to be with him at his trial.

Special from United Press

 London, Jan. 1S-Threats by Orange men to break up the home rule meet ing to be held at Belfast, on Feb 8, have greatly alarmed the local press and Unionist newspapers, today, ap- pealed to Chief Secretary to Ireland Btrrell. to prevent bloodshed.
 According to reports circulated here today, 1000 men have volunteered t0 seize Ulster Hall, a few days before the home rule meeting is to be held. barricade the doors and prevent any one from entering. Arrangements have been made to transport 100000 Orangemen to Belfast on Feb. g. Practically all Of them will carry re- Vo-vers and there is prospect Of a bloody battle if police attempt to re- strain them
 Correspondents at Belfast today. insisted that there was no doubt oe the Ulsterites' determination to start trouble. The Express seriously sug- gested the arrest and detention Of Winston Churchill, first lord of the speech he is to deliver for home rule will provoke a breach of peace. Churchill replied that he will not be intiR1idated by any threats. Churchill has promised to outline the home rule measure which will be introduced ir month.
 Dispatches from Belfast indicate that the feeling there is at fever pitch. Secret meetings are being held by unionist clubs and the proposed home rule meeting is bitterly de- opponents of home rule to Belfast and violent rioting is almost sure to result despite the elaborate y1repars- tions of the government.

Burglars Invited To Open Safe In

Combination Written Out and Left in Plain Sight-Open it Gently Please, Don't

 Druggist Switzer falls into the ouali- fication described by the newspapers as charming host, for he has done many thoughtful things to make pleas ant any visit that the light-fingered gentry may choose to pay to his place of business in Southport.
 In back of his drug store is a, hand some safe. On the knob of this safe reposes a slip of paper with the com in plain, legible characters. No cor respondence school could make it's in- structiens plainer than has MT. Swift ger: Beginning at 53, turn twice to the left, stopping at 10; then to the right, at g, then to the left, stopping at 4, and open safe-'
 Thus any thoughtful burglar who visits the drug, store may spend a quiet evening unmarred by the use of dynamite or other high explosive, and may open the safe and explore its con tents at leasire, without the risk of waking the neighbors or creating an untoward disturbance.
 MT. Switzer, in addition to his pri- vate capacity, as druggist, holds pub lie position as town treasurer. Ask ed why he chose to make access to his safe so easy, he explained that he has just purchased a brand new safe at considerable expense, in which he plans to keep valuable books and pa pers, of use to him but no good to anyone else. Rather than risk being visited by a burglar who might blow open the safe or destroy it in some other manner, MT. Switzer has frank ly written out the combination and enclosed with 1t a precise inventory of the contents of the safe to save trou- ble for any burglars that may happen along, and expense for himself.

 Deakin has gained 100 pounds with in the last year and his weight at present is 3S5 pounds. Physicians who cared for him lately at his own home are not hopeful for his recovery. They sent him to the hospital to reheve his young wife of the arduous duties of caring for him.
 Deakin's case is one of the most re- markable in local medical annals, and since he has become incapacitated, it has excited considerable interest among the members of the medical

 Deakin was married when he was 21. He weighed 130 pounds, and at that time had apparently not whit of excess flesh upon him. He was well built, muscular and inclined to be angular. About five years ago five years he has taken on 265 pounds Of this 100 pounds has been added during the last year.
 Deakin remained steadily at his work, despite his constantly increas- ing weight. For the last two years he had never worn a vest. and his ample body sagged comfortably into the folds of a loose fitting coat and trousers. His bulging waist showing through the narinR sides of his coat attracted widespread attention. He possessed the proverhial good nature of the fat man, which by the way he had always displayed even before he began. to grow corpulent. and he held the esteem of all his associates.
