SPANKS HIS DAD.
College President Is Summoned by the
Grand Jury.

Terre Haute, Sept. 13.-Witnesses s
are being summoned today by the
county grand jury investigating an
attack made by President E. A. Han
ley of Franklin college upon his faith
er, Calvin Hanley. at the latter's
home at Middletown last Thursday.
Professor Hanley is one of the lead
ing educators of Indiana and a for
mer Baptist minister. At one time he
was pastor of the John D. Rockefeller
church in Cleveland.
1t is understood the son switched
and spanked his father because of i'll
treatment of his mother and sister
in-laW- In resisting his son, the faith
er fell against a window sill and it is
reported was seriously injured.
Issues a Statement.
Indianapolis Sept. BE. A. Han
ley here today in signed statement
admitted that he had switched and
spanked his father. For twenty-five
years. said Professor Hanley, 81 have
kept my hands off my father but
when 1 learned that he had called my
mother by an unspeakable name, and
wished she were in HE'LL could not
stand it any longer.
Il don't think L hurt him seriously.
/ tried not to do so. / did not strike
him with my fist nor did 1 use a club.
l wanted to be severe enough to warn
him for all future time. but not vio-
lent enough to 1nJure him, continued
the statement.
Il have been brought to this sor-
rowful deed by his (rhe father) long
continued cruelty to my mother
owe everything to my mother. When
I was boy my father would want me
to leave school in order to help in the
work of the farm, and mother has
picked apples or gathered a load of
corn that ] might not miss a day from
school. Her sympathy and prayers
have followed me every step of my
life and year by year L have seen her
spirit droop; 1 have seen her deprived
of all reasonable privileges until she
wished for death.
I'm spite of everything, I still love
my father and will gladly do any
thing to help him. Only he shall not
continue to abuse mother.
Ten years ago I purchased a home
for father and mother. Mother, how
ever, has made the greater part of the
living.
81 know not what effect this bitter
experience will have on my future
usefulness. Whatever that may be, I
do not see how 1 could have done
otherwise. L now feel that 1 ought

BIG Tim IS DEAD
Body of the Missing Man Has
Been Identified.
After Lying in the MOrgue for
Thirteen Days.

! New York, Sept. 13.-"Big Tim, Sui
livan, the New York politician. who
rose from newsboy to congressman, IS
dead. His mangled body was identihed
today by his stepbrother, Larry Multi
gan, after it had lain for 13 days in
a local norgue. Sullivan, who was i'll,
eluded his nurses in the early morning
of August 81 and a few hours after
was struck and killed by a train at
Pelham Parkway.
SulliVan'S body was on its way TO
Potters field when the chance observa-
ton of Policeman Purified led to its
Identification. The transfer from the
Fordham morgue to the one at Belle
vue hospital is the usual preliminary
to interring the city paupers and uni
Identified, dead in the public burying
ground.
With no identifying marks on the
clothing or articles in the pockets, the
body lay in Fordham morgue for 1S
days awaiting Identification. This morn
ing it was sent to Bellevue morgue.
There was stationed Peter Purified,
policeman who had known Big Tim
and liked him before his mind became
clouded. Something about the express
sion of the features stirred Purfield's
memory.
The Identification.
It's Big Tim he said. Big Tim"
met his death two hours or less after
he had wandered out into the night
from the home of his brother, Patrick,
at Williamsbridge. The neighborhOod is
sparsely settled there and Sullivan had
but dollar in his pocket. He struck
out across the fields for the railroad
apparently with the thought in mind
that he would take a train for New
York and visit his former cronies on
the East side.
Pelham Park station lay not far
away. 1t is possible Sullivan saw its
lights and made it his immediate des-
tination. In any event his body was
found at o'clock in the morning near
the tracks by policeman. 1t was
taken to Fordham morgue. For many
months Big Tins mind has been
under a cloud. Elected to congress last
fall ne had never taken his seat be-
cause of this trouble. A commission
was appointed to administer the affairs
of his large estate and to watch over
his person.
On the night he disappeared, he sat
up till = o'clock playing pinochle. The
brother went to bed at midnight leav-
ing the third nurse to continue the
game. The nurse became drowSy, big
Tim did not. When the nurse finally
slumbered. Big Tim crept noiselessly
out of the house and went to mis- death.
