CANNIBAL SOCIETIES
ARE STILL IN EXISTENCE

According to the Sierre Leone
Consular report for 1911 there
seems to be no decline of cannibal-
ism in the Protectorate.
In addition to the convictions re-
corded for cannibal murder there
have also been convictions on the
charge Of being In possession OF
the insignia and implements of can
nibal societies.
The most active of these organi-
cations are presumably the Human
Leopard and Human Alligator So
cieties, for. although once-in
1914 case purporting to relate
to the Human Baboon Society was
judicially investigated, there ap-
pears to be hitherto no conviction
for murder on record OF professed
members of that body.
Apart from the murders which
take place from time to time to
crafty lust for human flesh,
there are indications that in the
Imperri and Timdale chiefdoms,
which are situate within the latter
district. events such as the corona
ton OF a Chief or the death of a
prominent parsonage are frequent
ly made an occasion for a human
sacrifice by either the "Borni" or
the "Tomah" Society.-GLondon

HIS WIFE PASSED

Straightway Went and
Killed Himself.
HAD FATALLY WOUNDED WIFE
After Seeing Her-Wife Had

TOOK THE DYNAMITE ROUTE

West Pelham, Mass, Oct. A.
George Shaw, q wealthy farmer,
shot his wife, Jennie B. Shaw, prob
ably fatally. here to-day and then
blew himself to pieces with dyna-
mite which he placed in. a stump
and sat upon.
Mrs. Shaw had come from Hart
ford, Conn, to place flowers on her
sons grave. She had not seen her
husband since she left him in jan
uary, 1911, until she encountered
was driving to the cemetery. Mrs.
Shaw at the time was accompanied
by her daughter, Mrs. H. w. Griffin.
OF Chicopee, and Mrs. William
Barnes, OF Springfield.
No words were exchanged be-
tween Shaw and his wife when they
passed on the road. but the man
Immediately went home, procured
"A light-driVing rig, and, following
his wife, caught up with her in The
cemetery. Jumping to the grouni
ne began firing at her with a re-
volver as she sat in her carriage.
Mrs. Shaw's horse ran away,
throwing the three women out.
Shaw ran up to his wife when she
fell TO the ground and pounded her
over the head with his fists and
with the revolver until she was in
sensible.
Leaving her apparently dead, the
man made his way to his home.
When search was made for him a
little later. bits OF his body we're
found scattered about an open lot.
Investigation showed that Shaw
had placed dynamite in the stump
OF an old tree in his back yard and
then. after seating himself upon
the stump, exploded the dynamite.
An examination OF Mrs. Shaw
showed that two bullets passed
through her abdomen. Her skull
was fractured and her right arm
broken. Physicians held out little
hope for her recovery.
Shaw was a successful farmer
and was interested in numbering.
His wife was five years his junior.
The couple had been married many
years.
Nearly two years ago Mrs. Shaw
suddenly left her home and all eff
forts Of her husband to locate her
were unavailing. though he said he
believed he could win her back IL
he could once see her. The cause
Of their separation was not made
public.

JERSEYITE LOSES FIGHT
FOR BIG ENGLISH ESTATE.
Victorious Stepbrother VIII
Have $zOO,O 900 a Year.

VINELAND, Feb. 7.-Word was re-
ceived here yesterday from England
thai George Goodwin Barnham Swifte
has been unsuccessful in his fight of
years for a portion of the estate Of
Goodwin Swifte, who was owner of one
of the finest estates in Ireland. George
Goodwin Barnham Swifte came here
fifteen years ago and eked out a miser-
able existence while telling of his ina
bility to assert his lawful right to his
fathers estate. AS time went on che
people believed in his story of how his
~stepmother had driven him from home,
and how he was forced to go to sea
to escape persecution, and even death.
His story brought him financial aid
from local people, and he returned to
England to press his claim. The House
of Lords, the highest tribunal in Eng
land, has handed down a decision hat
the claimant was an illegitimate
son Of Goodwin Swifte, who was mar
ried three times. He wal a son of the
second wife, which union is declared
Illegal, because the first wife was liv-
ing at the time of the second cere-
mony. =
The decision OF the House of Lords
gives Goodwin Butler Reade Swifte. a
stepbrother, the right to an estate that
is said to yield an income of $3.50, 900
to $1,000, 900 a year.

Dark HALLWAY

Battling in the dark hallway of a
house at Sc Boston street, detectives
today arrested a man ind a boy who
contested their entrance, while the man
they were seeking escaped by a rear
door. This marked a step. it is
believed, in the %endeavors of the police

the members of a gang Of dope" rob-
Der which has successfully operated
in Newark and Jersey City for years.
Detectives Slutsky and Ducker, of
the prosecutors office, and Plain
clothesm>,n Kaas. Of The Fourth pre-
cinct, surrounded the house. Kaas saw
a boy run into the hallway. Fearing
that he would give the alarm the plain
elothesman followed him.
Dashing through the pitch-dark hall
way, he ran into the arms of a man
who hurled him back. Kaas struggled
to free himself and whistled for help.
The other detectives ran in and ar
rested Wydlslaus Szlamka and his 16-
year-old son Walter.
The two prisoners deposited $40 each
as security for their appearance to-
morrow to answer a charge of Interior

TO give q "Ph. D." degree to students in
seven months, in Trenton, today dis
claimed any knowledge o. the univer-
sity. its purpose, curriculum. faculty or
any other %appendage of the peculiar
institution. Mintz says that armand
Spenser, who is named as one of the in
corporators, asked him to sign the doc
ument and that he did 80, tn1hhlng ina
he was acting as a witness to Sponsors
signature.
The university" in question was first
brought to the notice of the educational
world when the petition was filed by
Mintz in Trenton Monday. With him
as incorporators were the names of
Alexander Henault, Jacques Spenser
and Armand Spenser. The last named,
Mintz claims, is the only one whom he
knows at all. The Taost peculiar fact
about the new university is it's claim,
as set forth in the petition, that it will
confer a degree of doctor OIL philosophy
upon students who enroll under its tu-
telage for the a of seven months.
AT all ordinary universities the mini
mum time for winning the degree is

Spenser a special delivery letter this
morning, he told the reporter who was
endeavoring to find out something
about the university, and Spenser
would be home to answer all ques-
lions for himself this afternoon at 6
o'clock"
With the exception of the statement
that he was not in any way connected
with the projected institution, Mintz
refused to answer any questions. That
is Mr.. Sponsors business he said,
land he will know how to answer
you"
He said that he had known Spenser
for twenty-four years, and hat they
were firm friends, so that when the
latter had asked him to sign the docu-
ment Mintz assented at once.
He was a jeweler, he said, and knew
nothing of Sponsors connection with

on the room door, nor, he said, does he
have any claim towards education of
any kind.
