MOTHER OF OUTLAW BEGS
HIM TO GIVE HIMSELF UP

Hillsville, Va, March 2S.-The
mother of the Edwards boys had
long talk last evening with Tom A.
Felts, field marshal of the sheriff.
posse in search of the Allen outlaws
She rode into Hillsville on a side
saddle, escorted by a scout of the
sheriff's posse.
IF there is any way you can help
me get into communication with my
poor Wes," she told the detective
chief, 81 will send him a written plea
straight from my mother heart. l
will beg him to surrender himself
and come in without resistance"
1t was suggested that the case
against Wesley Edwards looked very
black and that conviction would be
likely to confront him.
I'm spite of that" said the mother.
81 would rather have him face trial
like a man than to be lying awake
nights, as / am now, thinking that
the poor lad is probably slowly starv-
| ing to death or dying by inches from
exposure and fatigue. How could a
mother ever bear the grief of learn
ing that her boy had starved or been
/ shot like wild beast?
81 am confident Wesley has not es-
capped from the mountains. l fee
sure he is within a few miles of my
home and it is an awful thing for me
to feel all the time that he dare not
come to his own home for food OF
| warmth, that we cannot go to him
and that unless be surrenders him,
self he must die either the death Of
a fugitive vagabond, frozen anC
starved in the hills, or the death oil
a beast at the muzzle of your mems
rifles"
1 Captain Felts said he wished hi
had knowledge of Wesley's where
abouts, that the mothers message
might be delivered to him. He ad
mitted he and his men were as mucl
in the dark as ever on that point.
II II was reported last night, how
ever, that posses were moving upol

j. STEELE
DIES SUDDENLY
Taken III Monday and Is Unable
to Rally From Shock of
Operation.
FORMER CITY INSPECTOR
Resigned Position Last October
With Central Union Telephone
Company Since.

Frank ]. Steele, 1900 Fifth-and-a-half
avenue, commercial agent for the Cen
trail Union Telephone company, former
sidewalk inspector under the present |
administration, and well known insur- |
ance man, died at st. Anthony's hospi- /
tai this morning after brief illness of
three days. Death was caused by a
complication of diseases.
SUDDEN ATTACK MONDAY.
While down town Monday afternoon
Mr.. Steele was suddenly taken i'll, it
being necessary to assist him to his
home. A physician was summoned,
and as his condition, instead of show
| ing improvement seemed to take
| turn for the worst, it was deemed ad-
visable to remove him to the hospital,
which was done yesterday morning.
He submitted TO an operation yesterday
afternoon at 1870, but never entirely
rallied from the shock, although he was
conscious until an hour before the
time of his death.
His wife was present at the bedside
at the time of death. He was well and
favorably known in the city and during
his residence here made a great many
friends, to whom the news of his sud-
den death viii prove a severe shock.
IN CITY II YEARS.
Mr.. Steele was born in South Bend,
Ind, Aug. 3, 1871, and had been a resi-
dent of that city until IA years ago,
when he removed to this city. He re-
ceived his education in the public
schools of South Bend, and was engag-
ed is the tailoring business there.
Upon his removal to this city he open
ed a pantatorium in the old Buford
block, where he conducted business
for two years. He was married to Miss
Anna D. Kuhn of Mill Creek, Ind, at
Davenport, Nov. %, 1899. After dis
posing of his pantatorium business he
engaged in several occupations. He
was general agent for the Illinois Life
Insurance company for a number OF
years, having charge of the territory
in Rock Island and vicinity. In April
1911, he retired from the insurance
business to accept the newly created
Office of sidewalk inspector for the
city. When this Office was abolished
last October, he accepted position as
: commercial agent with the Contra
Union Telephone company, and was
employed in that capacity up until the
time of his death. He was a member
of Local No. $50, B. P. o. E., and Camp
309, NJ. w. A. Besides his widow, he is
survived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
John S. Steele, and a sister, Mrs. vii
liam A. Duttera, all of South Bend
| The remains will be taken to that city
for burial, but definite funeral arrange
ments have not been made as yet.

genuine gain in religious education
due to a decline in the severity OF
both doctrinal teaching and scientific
opposition and to a new emphasis on
the fundamentals of religious faith
and living.
Politics still play large part in
the appointment and dismissal of
state university boards, presidents
and professors, and in lobbying for
legislative funds. Public criticism of
recent action of this sort in Kentucky
and Oklahoma, however, indicates a
movement toward more careful con-
stitution OF governing boards. The
influence of organized alumni also
needs to be more carefully directed,
so that instead of insisting on low
athletic ideals as recently In Michi-
gan and Alabama, it shall become
real educational influence.
| In general, the sense of public OBJ
! legation to the cause of education ap-
pears to be stronger and more wide
spread than ever, but the time has
| plainly come when private and local
initiative need more guidance from
the point Of view of the state and OF
! the nation. Education is the most
important interest in any nation, and
/ is nowhere so important as in a ma
tion in which every citizen assumes
full political responsibility.

WILL SACRIFICE
SPEED TO SAFETY
Pennsylvania and New York Cen.
tral Roads to Do Away with
Eighteen.hour Trains.

New York. Nov. S.-The Pennsylvania
and the New York Central railroads have
determined to sacrifice speed TO safety
and to furnish additional safeguards for
the travelling public by lengthening the
running time Of their eighteen-hour trains
to Chicago for the winter. The new
schedules. which will go into effect on
each road about November "a will make
the running time Of these trains twenty
hours instead of eighteen
One of the reasons for this change Is
that during the winter months there are
many distractions to trafic which do
not obtain in good weather. But the
main reason is that investigation follow
inging wrecks which have occurred in
winter have shown that frost SO acts on
the rails as to make them unsafe when
a heavy train Is driven over them at
high speed. The slower running time
for these fast trains. the railroads say.
will lessen the proba bility OF wrecks.
The Pennsylvania issued its official an
nouncement of the change OF time to-
day. The New York Centrars announce
ment has not been made public yet. but
Vice President c. F. Daily said tonight
that the change would 20 into effect on
that road at about the same time as on
the Pennsylvania.
The eighteen-hour train will be the
only one affected said Mr.. DAILY, ''as
the other trains to Chicago make the
run in from twenty to twenty-four hours
and there is no necessity for lengthen-
ing that time"
The new twenty-hour train on the
Pennsylvania will be known as the
broadway Limited II will leave New
York at 2:45 o'clock in the afternoon
arriving in Chicago at 9:i5 o'clock the
next morning. Eastbound, It will leave
Chicago at 1c:40 o'clock and arrive In
New York at $40 o'clock the next morn
