DEGREES UNCLE TOMS CABIN
Man Declares Work Is caricature and
Has Done More Harm Than Any
Other Volume.

Camden, N. J.-In an address at the
Camden high school. F. Hopkinson
Smith. writer and artist, said that
Uncle Toms Cabin" had done more
harm than any other book ever writ
ten He added that the general condi-
ton of the negro had not improved
since the Civil war, and that The ne
groes of the south were happier. bet
ter cared for and more content in the
days of slavery than they were now.
Mr.. Smiths criticism of Uncle Tom s
Cabin" was based on his belief that
the book gave the world an erroneous
conception of the negroes life and
condition before the war. He said
the chief incidents in Mrs. Stoves
work were such as never could have
happened in the south. He attributed
much of the bit4erness that prevailed
| in the south years before the war tC
'misinformation conveyed broadcast
| by Uncle Toms Cabin"
| Mrs. Stowe, he said. was to be
blamed only for making such use o.
1 incidents that came to her knowledge
at second hand. Uncle Toms Cab
iI.,' as a whole he insisted, was &;
highly colored caricature that did no
reflect real life in the south.

Terms of Mrs. Buttner's Will
Changing Beneficiaries.

BY a decision made by Vice-Chan-
cellorHowell today certain terms of
the will of Lydia Ellen Buttner, who
died September 20, 1911, were set

self and an insurance policy of $500
figured prominently in the testimony.
Mrs. Buttner took out a policy of
$500 from the company on February 6,
1909, designating two orphan nieces
and a nephew as beneficiaries. Those
named as beneficiaries were Olive and
Dotty Schnestull and Robert Schnes-
tull, agreeing that this could be
changed by the filing of a written or
der. A short time before Mrs. Butt
ner's death and while she was living

made to change the beenficiaries, in

which was drawn up by Mr.. Campton.
The will gave to each of the three
children legacy of $50 and to George
Hubert, son of Mrs. Hubert, the
sum of 800, and to Mrs. Hubert her
self the remainder, viz, $3.50, to be
paid from the policy.

STOPS RUNAWAY
AFTER STRUGGLE

After a hard run of four blocks,
Mounted Patrolman Burgher, of the
Fourth precinct, today scceeded in
hating a runaway horse, although he
had to force the animal on the
sidewalk before stopping it. The
horse was attached to a milk wagon
owned by Harry Ziperstein, of 413
Springfield avenue.
While standing at Springfield ave-
nue. and South Tenth street the horse
became frightened and bolted. The
driver of the wagon was in a nearby
house and was unaware of the acci-
dent Gathering speed as he raced
down Springfield avenue, the horse
galIoped on until Mounted Patrolman
Burgher caught sight of him. Burgher
put the spurs to his horse and in a
few moments gained on the runaway.
AS they neared South Sixth street
Burgher closed in on the horse and
grasped the frightened animals bril-
die. The horse attempted to pull
away from the policeman. and in
holding on Burgner was nearly
thrown from the saddle. The run
away clambered on the sidewalk and
Burgher had torn nearly all the har-
ness from the animal before it came
to q halt within few feet of a large
plate-glass store window.
