BURKE BACK HOME

TELLS STORY OF DOWNFALL.
Gives Name Of Convict Who Black

Philadelphia, Aug. q. - william ].
Burke, Philadelphia's reform council
man, who disappeared on Aug. 16, after
writing a confession that he is an ex-
convict and second story worker and
resigning from councils, returned to
the city and became reconciled to his
wife and stepdaughter, who have been
loyal to him through his trouble.
After greeting his family at 2020 East
Tioga street, Burke Immediately went
to the home Of John L. Fehr, the local
business man who offered to set him
up in the cigar business provided he
would come back and face the music.
Today Burke will take charge of q
cigar store and barber shop at 1915
Race street.
Following his talk with Mr.. Fehr,
who insisted that the councilman,
whose resignation has not been accept
ed, tell the entire story of his downfall
and the exposure of his old record,
Burke repeated it substantially as 1t
has been printed many times, but he
gave one essential detail. He gave the
name Of the former convict who black
mailed him and drove him from his re-
spected position as a reform council
man to a back room in a lodging house
on West Thirty-sixth street, New
York, where he has been hiding since
his disappearance.
when l first made my confession
Burke said, certain people declared l
was lying-that l was seeking notori-
ETY.. One newspaper suppressed the
name of the convict who blackmailed
me. The other newspapers did not
have It The eX-convict who black
mailed me was Jimmy Foley, a man
who has known me for twenty five
years. We worked alongside Of each
other in the harness shop at Charles
town prison. When l was youngster
In New York he was STALL for
gang of pickpockets. Later he went
west and came east, landing in Charles
town. He got every cent l had, and
after l made my confession he left
Philadelphia. Now he is in New York
probably trying TO blackmail some poor
fellow who has tried to forget prison
past. He is siXty-seven years old and
has been crook all his life. Foley
never will blackmail me again, and
from now out l fight the battle Of
life, no matter what people may say"

CLOSED SUNDAYS.

Postmaster NJ. B. Allen has receiv-
ed notice from G. p. Grandfield, first
assistant Postmaster General, that
there will be no more delivery of
mail here on Sundays as heretofore.
A section of the law was given, part
of which follows:
"Sir:-The postofflce appropria-
ton act for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1918, provides: That here
after postoffices of the first and sec
ond classes shall not be open Sun
days for the purpose of delivering
mail to the general public, but this
provision shall not prevent the
prompt delivery of special delivery
mail.
Under the law you will close the
general delivery, carriers windows
and lock boxes and discontinue the
deliveries by carriers on Sunday.
You will note, however, that special
delivery mail is excepted and you
will therefore arrange to have on
duty a sufficient force to handle this
mail matter promptly.
The department desires to reduce
the Sunday work to the minimum so
that as many of the employees az
possible may enjoy a complete day
of rest on Sunday. You should
therefore require only a sufficient
number of clerks to report for duty
on that day In order that transit mail
and the mail collected for dispatch
may be handled without delay. II
no mail is dispatched on Sunday a
very early collection should be made
on Monday morning and the mail for
local delivery distributed before the
carriers leave for their first trip.
Respectfully,
&C. p. Grandfeld,

York, Pa, Aug. 27.-The court here
released Mrs. Mildred Cartledge of
Lowell, Mass, without hesitancy and
suspended sentence after hearing evil
dence in the case which charged the
woman with throwing vitriol in the
face of Cora Krout, pretty young girl,
whom the woman charged with being
too intimate with her husband.
The affair occurred on July 10, 1907.

eluded the officers by escaping to Lo-
well, where she has since lived, until
located few weeks ago and brought
back for trial.
The action of the court seems to have
been commended by the general public.

ENVOY DENIES
TALES OF CRUELTY
Japanese Ambassador Replies to
Charge Of the Presbyterian
Mission Board.

viscount Chinda, the Japanese Am
bassador. replied yesterday to the
charge of the Presbyterian Board OF
had been arrested in Korea last year
upon representation that they were i'm
plicated in a plot to assassinate the
governor general. and that they had
been subjected to torture in order to
extort confession from them.
The persons arrested" said Ambas-
sador Chinda, are charged with a
grave criminal offense, and their COM
plicity or innocence can only be deter
mined by the courts in strict conform
ity with the provisions OF the law.
How can the Board of Missions truth
fully state that the charges are false
before the courts have rendered their
decisions? 1t would seem proper that
all impartial men should reserve judg-
ment as to whether or not the charges
are false until the courts have acted.
Besides, there is no foundation for
the charge that more than 5000 Ko-
reans have been locked up. In fact,
have in my possession documen-
tary evidence which shows that about
100 individuals were locked up in con-
nection with the case in question, and
that Of this number about twenty have
been released.
"As to the report OF torture, the un-
equiyocal and responsible denial OF the
governor-general ought to be sum
cient to refute the charge which is
supported by nothing further than the
vague entirely trustworthy sources.
In this connection. may say that the
practice Of torture in Korea was abOl-
ished in 1907 at the instance of the
Japanese government. which among
the other reforms, introduced the abol-
ition of this barbarous system by vir-
tue of the Japan-Korean agreement.
las to the insinuatiOn that the trial
is aimed at Christianity. l can say most
emphatically that every subject or in
habitant Of Korea is guaranteed full
