DOLLARS WORTH OF FUN
FOR EACH PENNY SPENT
And John Jay McDevitt's De-
sire for MiIIionaire'S Life
Is Appeased.

WILkESBARRE, January 15.-With his
pockets shrunk by emptiness. John Jay
McDevitt gave up his play as a million
aire when he stepped from a Pullman
sleeper here at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. When he awoke he discovered there
remained in his clothes $1.53. This he
counted carefully and. after making a
strict search of his pocketbooks to be
convinced that no more remained, he
ordered a colored porter to seize his grips
and help him from the train. AS he step
ped to the ground he handed the porter
$3.50 and the three remaining pennies he
chucked to newsboy. He was then dead
broke, without the price of breakfast,
but possessing very strong appetite.
Merry to the Last.
John Jay had not parted with his nerve
and this he carried with him to the
nearest beanery. Taking his seat on
stool at the hash house. he yelled "One
thousand" which in the vernacular OF
lunchrooms here is the signal for plate
of beans. Coffee was ordered and with
slice or two of bread he started in to APP
pease the pangs of hunger.
When the meal was over McDevltt
grabbed his satchels and started away.
AS he neared the door the man in
white apron gently but forcefully asked:
"McDevitt, haven't you forgotten some
thing?"
That's all right said John Jay; IF
have will call for it again.
With his bundle of nerve still with him
Butch started across the way to the
Hotel ReddingtOn, where a crowd of his
friends had assembled. He fell into one
of the upholstered chairs, uncorked a
smile and for several minutes was busy
relating his experience as "one-day
millionaire"
Pm dead broke" he said. Little old
New York got everything / had. They
gave me one grand run for my money
and showed me how easy 1t is to part
company with the coin. While the kale
lasted I was as gay as any old bird who
fioated in New York with a million at his
back.
Dollar in Fun for Every Penny.
"For every penny 1 spent got 81 worth
Of fun. That bunch down in the city
Of the Great White Way slipped nothing
over on me. 1 was a millionaire for a
day. and not a cheap one. I paid for
everything 1 got at better prices than
most millionaires do. I was game to the
finish.
II am now back in my natural state
hungry, broke, but happy. I couldn't
buy a toothpick If some one wedged ham
in my teeth. / am broke from cellar to
garret-cleaned up like they usually
clean them in New York. But lay down
a bet that no money king has thing on
me in the way of happiness
Il wouldn't be a millionaire If they
paid me for it. It's the old beanhouse
ard the same old circles for yours truly.
got what wanted and am satisfied"
McDevitt has no plans for the future.
He will spend a day or SO hitting the
hay any place with the space to let,
and when he gets slept out, which prob
ably will be the end of the week, he may
start for Waymart, a familiar haunt.
where he will begin work on another issue
of his Scrap Book"

AUSTRIAN BARON SEES
WAR AHEAD WITH ITALY
Declares Hostilities Will Begin
When italian Conquest of
Tripon Is Ended.

VIENNA, Austria, January l5.-Consid-
cradle sensation has been caused in po-
litical circles here by some recent speech
es delivered by Baron Fuchs. the clerical
leader who declared that Italy is arming
against Austria, and when the war In
Tripoli is over the King OF Italy must
either fight Austria or go into exile
Baron Fuchs also insisted that the init
mate relations which have for so long ex-
listed between Austria and Germany are
becoming weaker as the result OF Aus
trials failure to support her ally during
the Moroccan crisis. He likewise COM
planned that Austria's relations with the
Russian empire had not been well han
died.
Demands an Explanation.
Baron Fuchs is said to have demanded
an explanation from the Austrian foreign
minister. Count Alois Lexa Won Aehren-
thai. of the sad differences between Aus
tria and Germany. Of which he said he
possessed accurate knowledge. but the
foreign minister maintained absolute 81
lence ON the subject Baron Fuchs there
fore considered that he was perfectly
justified in expressing publicly his dis
satisfaction with Count Won Aehrenthais
foreign policy.

death Of CAFE owner
TRACED TO MONOX|DE
Antonios PanopoMos Asphyx-
lated by Poison Fumes From
Gas Water Heater.

Antonios PanopOulos, Greek, was
found dead from the effects of asphyx-
iation this morning in a room over the
lunchroom conducted by him and his
partner, Theodore Cheakalos. at 1916
NJ street. Carbon monoxide, generated
by a gas water heater. is blamed for
the tragedy.
Panopoulos retired last night earlier
than usual. complaining he was not
feeling well. Shortly after 1870 o'clock
this morning his cousin went to the
room and found him dead.
1t is thought Panopoulos was in need
of hot water and lighted the gas. and
that while waiting for the water. he
was overcome by the deadly fumes.
Cheakalos applied home remedies to
restore his cousin to consciousness, but
without result. Cheakalos then called
a policeman and had him summon the
patrol wagon.
Physician Summoned.
Satisfied that Panopoulos was dead.
but wanting a physician to pass upon
the question, the police hurried the
body. to the Georgetown University
Hospital. Physicians there pronounced
life extinct.
Coroner hewitt visited the NJ street
house this morning. and made an exam
ination of the premises, later seeing the
body in the hospital morgue. The condi-
tion of the body, the coroner afterward
stated. made it conclusive that carbon
monoxide poisoning had caused death.
The coroner ascertained that the small
room in which Panopoulos died was
closed last night. and was without ven
tilation other than what air entered
through crevices about the window.
There was no ventilating pipe running
from the room to the roof or street.
And even IL there had been such a
ventilator," stated Coroner hewitt. IT
doubt if 1t would have been a protection
poisoning. Wind frequently blows into
the house through the chimney or ventila-
tor but it is reasonable to suppose that
such a wind would only carry the fumes
about the room.
Inquest Not Necessary.
Coroner hewitt found the pipes of the
water heater covered with SCOT.
The question of holding an inquest was
discussed and quickly disposed of. the
coroner concluding that nothing could be
gained by such an investigation. There
was federal inquiry into the carbon
monoxide gas question at the time three
members of the Bremerman family were
asphyxiated. the coroner recalled, and at
that time the jury made an exhaustive
recommendation.
A certificate of death from gas poison
was given in the case of Panopoulos
Relatives of the dead man had an under
taker prepare his body for burial Ar
engagements for the funeral have not been
completed.

pearance. When seen by his mother last
October Mr.. Gaines appeared to be In
