only Joy was the return to her of a
photograph of the late Melvin II. Couch,
which had been taken from her effects
in the attorneys office, where she had
lived for three years in a secret room.
Mrs Couch got possession of the photo
graph and refused to give it up to the
woman whose secret companionship with
Couch was discovered after his sudden
death last Sunday. Miss Brance plead
ed and threatened and late this after
noon Mrs Couch sent the picture to
her.

earth" Miss Brance said tonight. IT
is the best Christmas present l could
have received"
Miss Brance waited expectantly the
coming of her brother, II. o. Brance of
Hartwick, N. Y, but he did not arrive
during the day. She received more
than so letters today from sympathiz-
ing persons
A thorough search of COUGHS effects
revealed no will. In searching through
her fathers safe today Miss Louise
Couch found Miss Brance's will, which
was made two years ago. She willed
to Couch everything she possessed
which included two mortgages amount
ing to $500.

Sane" Idea Jubilant as
Reports From Various
Sections Come In

Atlanta, December 25.-Chamrions of a
safe and sane" Christmas in the south
tonight We're jubilant because of the ap-
parent success of their efforts
Reports generally indicated that the
celebration had not been attended by the
loss of life and property which in the
past has characterized observance of the
day.
In most southern cities rigid regulations
governing the use of fireworks and fire.
arms in connection with Christmas cele-
brations have been forced with the result
that accidents were comparatively few.
AT New Orleans a campaign against the
careless use of fireworks brought good re-
suits. A similar campaign at Birming-
ham resulted in the quietest Christmas
tbat city ever has seen. Many Industrial
works there were shut down yesterday
and today, but there was nc disorder.
Reports of an exceptionally quiet
Christmas came from virtually every city
in Texas. At Dallas there We're no Sc
rious accidents. Snow at Memphis pro-
vioed a white Christmas unmarried by
disorder or serious catastrophe. Louis
vile, in the throes of q sleet and snow
storm. reported a Christmas sngularly
free from accidents. Atlanta's safe and
sane Christmas was strictly observed
here.
