First Funeral Ceremonies.

The body of Admiral John Paul Jones
was recovered from an unmarked grave
In the heart Of Paris about seven years
ago by Gen. Horace Porter at that time
ambassador to France. When the remains
were brought to this country at that time
they received great public reception.
The funeral ceremonies, first held in the
American Church in the Avenue d lima,
in Paris, were made the occasion for the
French government formally turning over
to the United States the body of the great
est naval organizer and fighter in Ameri-
can history.
- The body was brought to the United
States by squadron under command of
Rear Admiral Sigsbee, and the movement
which will today result in final resting
place for the hero was begun before Con-

president of the Naval Academy Alumni

Friends Attempted to Cheer Her.

Women in the house expressed deep
sympathy for Miss Elwell, and a number
of them undertook the task OF cheering
her. Different ones invited her out TO
dinner, took her to places OF amusement
and visited her in her apartment, i'm or-
der that she would not be alone much
of her time to brood over her troubles.
Until Miss Elwell spent so much time
Friday night writing letters after she
had engaged in an earnest conversation
over the telephone her friends thought
she had abandoned all thought OF sui
eide. The great change that came over
her, however, suggested TO them the prob
ability that she was again in a despon-
dent mood and they spent much time IN
her company.
None of her friends seemed to know
much of Miss Elwelis movements yes
terday and. il is stated. none OF them
knew she had written a letter TO me
Star, although she had threatened that
if she ever did do such a thing as take
her life she would send a picture of the
man broadcast and let the world know
her life story.
While the tragic death of Miss Elwelt
was not unexpected. ii came as A severe
shock to most OF her friends in the apart
ment house. Some of them knew that
she had been receiving male VISITOR
part of the time during the four months
she resided there.
He has not been here for a Week or
two" Policeman Hughlett was told by
persons in the apartment house. but
Yesterday she had a talk over the teie-
phone with some person, probably the one
she blamed for her troubles, and after
that she seemed greatly changed.
