SHOT TO DEATH WHILE
ROBBINS DEAD WOMAN
Fiendish GhouI Cut Off Victims
. Hand In Order to Save
JeweIry Thereon.

Dayton, o., March 29.-Enraged
bystanders beat ghoul almost to
death near the Hickory School flood
relief headquarters early this morn
ing.
Suspicious actions of the man
caused party of citizens to seize
him. When searched, the hand of
a woman, upon the fingers of which
were number of rings, was found
In his pocket. Being unable to
strip the jewels from the fingers
cold in death, the ghoul had hacked
the hand off at the wrist to get
away with his booty.
When the grewsome relic was
brought to view,a roar of rage went
up from the onlookers. Blind rage
seized upon the crowd, and those
nearest the shivering, frightened
wretch set upon him with vigor,
while those in the rear of the crowd
fought their way forward for the
privilege of raining blows upon the
robber of the dead.
A determined leader could have
set in motion lynching party. FL
nally cooler counsels prevailed. and
the prisoner was taken from his
captors and turned over to the mil
itary authorities. He was so badly
beaten as to be unable to give his
name.

street, aided in the capture Of the
man.

was fatal.

The police are arresting many
men charged with looting. But few

The Cemetery Association Teas.

To the Editor of The Herald:
In the chain of ten cent teas re-

the Cemetery Association, some of
the ladies have neglected to turn in
to the committee the proceeds there
from. All such are requested to do
so without delay in order that all
matters pertaining to the years bust
ness of the association may be closed.
as the officers wish to start the new
year afresh and with all 1912 matters
adjusted.
1t may not be convenient for those
having moneys to turn in to see the
officers, so the committee has made
arrangements with Ross Alcorn, at
Wheeler's store, TO receive same and
report the names of the ladies from
whom the funds are received. such re-
port to be read at the next regular
meeting Of tbs association and perhaps
to be published. So far about 500
has been handed in by the various
ladies who gave the teas. Had all
taken the interest that had been
hoped for the receipts should have
been double this amount. The cause
for which the proceeds are to be used
is a most worthy one and tbs associa-
tons bills are always heavy early in
the year, so it is hoped all will be
prompt in making their returns. =

was mustered out of service at Rich
mond, Va, or August -, 1880. Mrs.
Stringer is his only surviving child
and as such was granted n pension

A White Minister to Haiti.

In sending Madison r. Smith of
Missouri as Minister to Haiti Presi-
dent Wilson has shown good judg-
ment. Strange as It may seem, 1t
Is the testimony OF reputable mer-
chants doing business in Haiti IT, at
the Haitians would prefer to have
the United States represented by a
white man, although for obvious
reasons they have received negro
ENJOYS without a protest.
The motives for this feeling in the
Black Republic are readily explained.
The better class OF Haitians, while
1t includes many OF pure African
ancestry, has n considerable admix-
ture OF French blood, with the ac-
compartment of French sensitive
ness to sights, real or apparent.
Through superior ability, education,
and ambition the Haitians of French
descent exert a large influence, and
have given the country its two best
Presidents, Boyer and Geffrard.
Intelligent Haitians want their re-
public to be treated just as other
countries are treated In the matter
of diplomatic representation. They
want the same kind of American
Ministers that other American re-
publics have, not because they pre-
fer white men for racial reasons,
but becauce they object to being
singled out for racial discrimination.
In sending Mr.. Smith to Port.au.
Prince President Wilson shows that
he understands the negro nature.
Mr.. Smith will not be isolated In

cellent standard, and foreign bust
ness concerns are represented by

COMMITTED TO NO. 4 AS
CRIMINALLY INSANE

Mrs. Johanna Crecelius, acquitted
Of charge of numbering her hu--
band, on the ground Of insanity, was
committed to the State Hospital for
the Insane ut Pennington, Mo, Fri
day, by Judge q. A. Wurdeman If

whom she was tried. In committing
her, Judge Wurdeman declared he
was sending her there because the
evidence showed she was not men.
tally sound enough to be allowed
her liberty.
Should she attempt to regain her
liberty, writ OF habeas corpus will
have to be applied for. She then
would be tried for sanity in the Cir
cult Court OF st. Francois County
Mrs. Crecelius, who is 80 years
old, displayed no emotion Of any
sort Thursday night when the Jury,
after an absence Of 10 minutes from
the courtroom returned and through
It's foreman announced It's verdict
mot guilty; insane" Her aged
stepfather, her halfsister and other
relatives, who aided her at her trial,
all showed citation, but Mrs. Gre
celius' countenance was almost de-
void OF expression.
The instructions OF Judge Wurde-
man and the arguments of counsel
followed testimony by several ex-
perts In mental diseases Thursday,
all asserting that Mrs. Crecelius was
insane. One OF them declared she
never had been sane.
The jury in returning the verdict
1t did technically violated an In.
struction of Judge Wurdeman. In
his charge Judge Wurdeman told
the jury they might find one Of three
verdicts, guilty as charged not
guilty, or guilty and insane. The
jury found her not guilty, but de-
clared she was insane, but the effect
or the verdict will be the same AS II
the woman was found guilty and in
sane.
Mrs. Crecelius' daughter, Mildred,
10 years old, was not in the court
room when the verdict was returned,
nor at any time during the trial.
She was in Clayton at the home of
friend. The child will be cared for

Congressman Hensley would
place a strong check on the insidi'
Gus influencing of national legis.
lators and judges by corporations
seeking favors in the way of iegis.
Ation or otherwise. On the 22d
nit. he introduced a bill, which
was referred to the Committee on
Judiciary, prohibiting the giving
or receiving of gifts, employment
or other compensation, with heavy
penalties for both the giver and
the receiver. In the case of SEN
ators and Representatives, a viola
ton of the proposed law would be
deemed guilt of high misdemean-
or. on conviction of which the VIC.
lator would be heavily fined and
barred from holding any Office Of
honor or trust under the Federal
government. The penelty of cor
pOrations or their agents for vio-
lation Of the law is heavy fine for
each offense and Imprisonment as
well as fine in the case of agents.
Mr.. Hensley also introduced an.
other bill on the same day asking
for an appropriation of 800, 900
for the protection of the banks of
the Mississippi river at aud south
of Ste. Genevieve, Point Rest and
Wittenberg from erosion, by re.
vetment or other permanent struc.
turess.

Down in the Hills.

A revolution is taking place down
In the mountains OF Kentucky, land
Of the feudlst and dynamic white
corn whisky.
From the language, the traditions,
the isolation ana the very atmosphere
OF Elizabethan times, whole coun.
ties, an area well.nigh as large as
some American States, are moving
into the Twentieth Century under
the direction Of woman.
Two years ago in September Mrs.
Cora Wilson Stewart, superintend,
ent Of schools in Rowan county,
Kentucky, conceived the idea OF
moonlight schools" These were
not to supplement the education OF
the younger generation. Her idea
was to reach the tremendous illit-
crate population among the adults
OF the mountain counties.
She carried out her plans. 1t was
like "a crusade Of the Twentieth
against the Seventeenth Century.
The teachers gave their time to the
cause without pay.
Out of the little cabins, the noun.
tain stores, even the mountain
churches, came stream of "learn-
ing-hungry" graybeards and women
grown old in the hills. Three noun
tain preachers learned during the
first year Of the moonlight schools"
to read their own Bibles.
The effects of the movement have
been farreaching. The other noun
tain counties have felt the thrill of
the world civilization that has been
beating for generations against the
Kentucky hills.
As an example of what may be
done In wiping out illiteracy, the
United States Bureau of Education
has prepared bulletin giving a
brief account of the work of the
moonlight schools" The results
ana the manner in which these re.
suits were achieved are worth
thoughtful consideration from every
citizen of the United States who is
a foe to illiteracy.- Republic.
