AY THE UNITED CHARITIES CHASED A
MOTHER AND SON ABOUT

Did you ever see a puppy chasing
its tail? Seems sort of foolish, but it
fills in time for the puppy and it
makes him believe he is really doing
something.
That's what the following story of
the United Charities interference
suggests puppy chasing its tail in
order that it might seem to be doing
something. ,
Mrs. Jane Carmody is a feeble old
mother, and her son, Charles, is, ac-
cording to the Rush Medical Clinic,
tubercular
They had lived in one neighbor-
hood for % years before the U. c.
started Investigating" and all of
their friends were right near them,
so that even though the CaFmodys
were having trouble they were re-
ceiving lot of sympathy, which
helps quite little.
Enter the United Charities.
Two investigators. Not both to-
gether, but one after the other.
They first persuaded Mrs. Car
mody to stop working and stay at
home and take care of her son, and
then they handed her 81 a week on
which to live. They handed this 81
allowance for quite a few weeks, and
while it might seem a small pittance
81 for seven days for each person,
this is such unusual generosity on
the part of the U. C. that it deserves
mention.
Then they concluded they weren't
doing enough.
No, they didn't raise the allowance
per week for an old lady and her
sick son-they just started chasing
their tails.
you must leave this neighbor-
hood" they said. you must have
nice house with nice porch where
Charles can sleep out of doors. Now,
wouldn't that be nice?" and they
made just the same gleesome noise

dears it to one. One remembers how
many children have been born-how
many have grown to womanhood-
how many have died. One becomes
sentimental over the very houses,
themselves. g..
But there is no sentimentaIity
about the U. c. They moved the
Carmodys. Incidentally a mirror
was broken in the moving, and other
furniture damaged, but then the
puppy chasing it's tail usually does
some damage to the furniture, too.
No, the U. c. didn't fix up the
porch. They didn't eve nselect a
house with a porch worth fixing up.
This particular porch faced a filthy
alley and was cluttered with heaps
of dirty wall paper.
But Mrs. Carmody didn't know
about the puppy chasing it's tail, so
she took the U. c. seriously and ask
ed them what they were going to do
about the porch.
The U. G. looked just as surprised
as the puppy does if you whack him
across the snout with a stick.
Fix the porch?" they echoed. LET
your pastor do that" ri
Charles, the invalid, for whose sake
the U. c. had done the tail-chasing,
got busy and filed several bags with
the dirty paper, took them into the
yard and burned them, and then was
worse.
His friends heard about it and got
up a rattle for him and collected 500
to send him to the country.
You ought to have seen the u. C.
then. The puppy smelled fresh meat.
Right after Charles friends they
went and asked for the 500 that they
might send Charles to Oak Forest
"a county institution). They also
proposed to send Mrs. Carmody to the
poorhouse, and judging by the fuss
they made over their willingness to
do this, one might get the idea that

from the confined, the guard simply
said "juror?" in a questioning tone
and the man who was to witness the
awful work of the electric cnair NODDED
his head an assent and passed through.
The news of the short respite was
not generally known, and it was not
until after the jurors arrived at the
penitentiary that they were told of the
postponement.
About 7:20 Superintendent Wood as
sembled the jury in his private office
and told them that the original time Of
execution had been deferred, that GER
tain legal proceedings were being con-
sidered and requested them to return
to the prison at l o'clock.
At the same time Superintendent
Wood requested Assistant Superin-
tendent Lamb to have six Of the
guards return to the prison at
o'clock in addition to the regular day
force of officials.
There was no excitement on the out
side of the prison. Only very few
persons had THE morbid curiosity tc
appear and these were told by city po-
lice that no crowd would be allowed tc
assemble there.
The two men, who expected to be
ushered into eternity about Z o'clocE
yesteray morning, knew nothing what
ever about what had happened, ant
that the execution had been deferred
for few hours. When Superintendent
Wood appeared at the cell doors Of
Floyd and Claude Allen he found tbs
men calmly waiting the announcement
that everything was ready and Il
i prepare for the solemn march to The
chamber of death.
| When the prisoners were informed
by THE superintendent of what hat
been done, very little emotion wa:
shown and they simply thanked the Of
fetal for the efforts that were being
made 10 save their lives. The super
intendent made no suggestion of hope
or encouragement, and the prisoner:
gave every evidence of hope absolutely
abandoned.
This was possibly the most trying
ordeal that Superintendent Wood has
been compelled to undergo in this re-
markable case. For several days tht
strain has been something terrific, ant

Crowds View Remains.

Over the vigorous protest Of Victor
NJ. Allen and Rev. J. j. Scherer, Jr.,
10000 20 $4,000 Richmond people yes
terday afternoon and last night made
a public spectacle Of the bodies of
Floyd Allen and Claude Swanson AL
len. For six hours men, women and
children, white and black, poured
through the gates of Bliley's under
taking establishment at Third and
Marshall streets, were ushercd
through the mortuary chamber by en-
ployes and by city police, and made to
pass quickly out to the street.
The scene was one of the most as
founding that can be conceived, re-
vealing an extent of morbidity diff
cult to comprehend.
Women with young girls took them
through the chamber, crowds of ragG-
ed, barefoot boys, children barely
large enough to walk, and who had to
be held up to view the ghastly spec
tacle, hundreds of negro laborcrs,
were admitted. In spite of the pro
tests from the surviving member CT
the family, the astounding spectacle
was kept up until about 1880 o'clock,
when the caskets were closed and
were removed to the railroad station.
The people were put out of the NOR
tuary chamber, and snort service
was held. Victor Allen bore up well,
after the first shock of seeing the
dead features of his father and
brother.
A little girl, eight years old, brought
small box Of flowers marked "FOr
Claude Allen" Several other packa-
ges of flowers were received.
Victor Allen remained at the Hotel
Richmond until II o'clock, when, with
a few friends. he was driven 10 the
Southern Railway station. The bodies
had already been placed in tie bag
gage car. He shook hands with all of
his companions, and boarded the train
almost Immediately. Those with him
barred their heads as the goodbye
were said.
Several police officers accompanied
him to the station. A dozen more
were on duty there, but the crowd
was small and there was no disorder.
Mr.. Scherer remained on the train
until it left at Has o'clock. He left
with Victor Allen the medal which
was to have been presented to Claude,
but which he never saw. 1t will be
given to Mrs. Floyd Allen, Victor's
mother, who, in her mountain home,
awaits the bodies Of her husband and
son.
