Beautiful Actress Says He Tired of Being
Pointed to as Man Who Married Her.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Pauline
Frederick, the actress-wife of Frank
NJ. Andrews, the well known archi-
tect, who last autumn returned to
her beloved profession, bent upon re-
establishing herself as one of the
leading women on the American stage,
is playing a real life part similar TO
that of Sarah in The Little Prin-
cess" it was learned yesterday.
The sudden change of social station
for this beautiful young woman, she
declared yesterday to a reporter for
The Sunday American is because her
rich husband is in some business
trouble and has failed to provide
properly for her maintenance. She
still resides in a handsome apartment
but even this is to be given up just
as soon as the lease expires.
Where she viii then reside she does
not know and won't know for some
time. 1t depends upon the income she
will make hereafter, and also upon i
settlement with her husband.
There have been continuous rumors
for several months that Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrews We're legally separated. This
is not so. They are living in separate
apartments.
When l married Mr.. Andrews,
about four years ago" said Miss
Frederick, Il decided to choose a ca
reer of love instead of fame. But /
soon saw that the pursuit of love and
happiness was not silvery path

companion of a stage celebrity, but

FRANK JAMES
SPENDING LAST
YEARS At HOME
Former Famous Bandit Traced
Back to Missouri Farm Where
Brother Jesse Is Buried,

DENVER, July 12.-Within the last
few months there have come many
stories regarding Frank James, the
one-time bandit. Frank James has
died in oregon, California and a few
other States, he has gotten religion
in the East, and he has been active
generally. And the queer part about
t is that he is alive and in good
health, and is spending his last days
on the old James farm a few miles
from Kearney Mo-, where Jesse
James is buried.
Brings Citizens Statement.
This is the information that is
brought to Denver by L. Wright, a
motion picture proprietor, who re-
Gently made a visit TO the farm in
Missouri. When he returned he
brought a statement with him, signed
by various citizens of Kearney, and
which reads as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that we, the
following citizens of Kearney,
Clay County, Missouri, hereby af-
firm that we are personally ac-
quainted with the original Frank
James, brother of Jesse James,
and that he is now enjoying good
health and is living on the old
James homestead about three
miles northeast of this city, and
we Furthermore state that he is
an honored and respected citizen
of this community.
Il went back to get Mr.. James
opinion regarding law and order" Mr.,
Wright said. Il am the proprietor of
a set of Jesse James pictures and
had received the criticism that they
were not moral l contended exactly
the oppOsite-that they showed the
bad effects Of a life of crime. So
went back to get some expression
from Frank James on it. He told me
this.
James Maintains Innocence.
IF anyone thinks he can violate
the law and make a success of II, ]
consider him insane, and his finish
will be the gallows or the peniten-
tiary.'"
Frank James contends that he was
innocent of all the charges of out
lawry placed against him. He points
to his acquittal as evidence.

on their farms as these pesky con-
du-tors earned in their vocation.
and that the poor farmer was in
danger of becoming a serf to the
aristocracy of union labor"
Called Indictment to Murder.
Here is a man clamoring for the
supremacy of the law" and yet
he says that if another strike is
brought about, and a railroad is tied
up then, ye gods! the people will
rise in their anarChistic wrath and
burn the homes of the strikers and
their families will be scorched by
the flames, and perchance these
1000 wicked and desperate railroad
employees would likely be hanged to
1000 lampposts!
What is this but a crazy incite-
ment to murder?
Governor Brown concludes his
speech by eXtolling the action of
the militia in killing three non-of-
Tending citizens of Augusta during
the street car strike, a short time
previously. But as surely as God
lives, the militia, who ruthlessly
and unlawfully shot these innocent
victims down in cold blood, are
guilty of manslaughter.
These people We're not connected
with the strike. They Were simply
going alone the public streets,
wholly ignorant that the military
had established an imaginary, or
unmarked, dead line" There was
nothing of a physical nature to
show that any such dead line" had
been ordered or fixed. and no pre-
YiouS warning was given them, or
known command given to halt
Nothing in this whole wretched
speech shows more convincingly
Governor Browns true bent of
mind than this laudation of half
cooked" irresponsible militia. Gov
ernor Brown is another Glasscock
of West Virginia, types of men who
would violate Federal and State
Constitutions by eNalting the mill
tary above the civil powers. He
would substitute military rule for
civil government, running ruthless
ly counter to the very spirit and
letter Of republican institutions.
Legislation Is Dangerous.
The act of 1912 is the most in
sidiouSly dangerous piece of legis-
lation ever enacted in Georgia. The
first bloody fruits of such legisla-
ton We're made terribly manifest at
Augusta. What locality will suf-
fer next?
The Augusta massacre should be
Investigated by legislative COM
mittee.
The workingmen, particularly of
the South, being Ito the manner
born" object TO having their labor
regulated by bullets and bayonets.
as did their fathers powerfully re-
volt against Federal bayonets and
bullets, regulating their ballots dur
ing Reconstruction days.
We of the South. laborers and
capitalists alike, and other classes
of citizens, are of good old Amer
lean stock homogeneous people,
songs of Revolutionary sires. peo-
pie who won't submit TO military
ascendenCy over the civil authori-
ties.
In conclusion, we beg to say that
while organized labor has its faults
(what institution or organization
has not?) il is the only practical
method yet devised by man which
measurably protects and uplifts the
working classes, and until some bet
ter plan be devised it will continue
to be the greatest power for good
to the tOilerS OF the civilized world
And ii has no apologies to make
to the Browns, and Posts, and Kir-
bys and Parrys, and others who let
their spleen beCloud their judg-
ments and embitter their hearts.

ANOTHER HUNTERS WILD RIDE

Denver, Col, Nov. 20.-Caught in
his own bear trap while on a hunt
ing trip in the mountains near En-
budo, N. NJ, Henry Severson, 65
years old, wealthy mining man,
formerly of Denver, fought against
death by starvation and thirst or
being killed by wild animals for
several days before he finally sue
cumbed.
News of the .finding of his body,
torn into shreds by the claws of
mountain lions and wildcats, has
just been received here by friends.
His Identification is made COM
plete by papers found in a pocket of
his coat.
Severson was wealthy and had in
Vulnerable friends in Denver, espec-
tally among the mining men and the
earlier settlers. He was an eccen-
trio character, living the life of a
hermit.
About Is months ago, unable to
withstand the call of the wild, Sew
erson went into the hills from En-
buda, N. NJ, and often returned to
that point for supplies. The last
seen of Severson was on one of his
trips to Embudo. more than two
months ago.
A few days ago a party of hun
ters stumbled across the body of a
man, stripped to the bones, lying in
the snow.
Closer investigation showed that
the mans two arms We're caught in
bear trap and that he had been
unable to eXtricate himself. The
territory Immediately surrounding
the spot where the body was found
tells a wonderful story.
While it is felt certain that he
carried some food in his clothing,
which he was able to reach with the
tips of the fingers, the persons who
discovered the body believe that the
man was forced to eat the bait he
had brought along for the traps
Shrubbery for several feet around
the trap had been gnawed almost to
the ground. and there are indica-
lions that Severson attempted to
chew the bark from a nearby tree,
which he was able to reach only af-
ter a desperate struggle in moving
the trap and the heavy chain.
