". H. Heap Ignores Physicians
Order and Carries Boy Presents.
Had tuberculosis and the Results
Caused His Death on Tuesday.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 24.-Little Will
bur Harris, eight years old, son Of a
poor mother, will have his Santa Claus
Christmas, but w. H. Heap, philan-
thropist, who came to Denver from
Paterson, n. j., because he was dy-
ing of tuberculosis and who made pos
sible the salvation Of the Christmas
myth for little Wilbur, is dead. His
death came yesterday because he ig-
nored his physicians order to remain
in bed, and walked several blocks
through deep snow in the impoverish-
ed section of the city. He carried a
sled, train of cars. clothes, rubbers,
candy and many other presents for the
destitute Harris family.
To Heap had come word, through
his interest in a local Legion of Good
Fellows" that Mrs. Harris had, in
desperation, told her little boy there
was no Santa Claus for poor children.
Mr.. Heap rose from his bed and in
his automobile was driven to the shop
ping district, where he himself made
the selection of gifts which were to
bring happiness to the boy. The au-
tomobile could not penetrate the deep
drifts of snow in the lower part of
town, so Mr.. Heap staggering under
his burden, walked to the Harris door,
couple of blocks away. In present
ing the sled to dhe mother Mr.. Heap
remarked:
1.-The sled will do him lots of good.
I think If the youngster (who is a
cripple) can get out into the open with
plenty of warm clothing, he may be
cured, partially. of his ailment. Gods
open air Is the best thing we have
anyway"
A violent coughing spell seized the
philanthropist, who was half carried
to his motor car by the happy mother.
He was hurried home and specialists
were summoned. But 1t was too late.
He had died.

Christmas in the
Vatican, Rome.

Rome, Dec. 24.--The recent deaths
in the cardinalate have clouded
Christmas festivities at the Vatican,
but the season will be generally OBJ
served with the usual formalities. The
Pope will send his personal greetings
to all the Catholic sovereigns OF Eu-
rope with the exception of the King
of Italy, with whom he Is supposed to
hold no communication. The cardinals
residing in Rome likewise have many
greetings to send while those living
abroad, including the three American
cardinals. send letters to the Pope
which are read personally by the Pom
tiff and answered by Cardinal Merry
del Val, the Papal secretary of state.
Today the Pope received the cardi-
nails. Christmas day ITSELF, however,
is to be day of rest for the Pontiff,
as after celebrating early mass he will
receive only his sisters and pass the
remainder of the time in the library
with his books.
At the ,Quirinal Christmas will be
very quietly observed. The sovereigns
after presenting gifts to theif house!
hold, will retire to their private apart
ments and pass the day with their
children.

Mrs. Young Will
Accept Chicago
Supt. ofSchools

Chicago, Dec. 24--Although she did
not receive the unanimous vote of the
members of the Board of Education,
when she was reinstated yesterday as
superintendent of Chicago schools by
vote of 13 to I, Mrs. Ella Flags
Young will accept the reelection, ac-
cording to the understanding OF Mayor
Harrison and Peter Reinberg. presi-
dent of the board.
At the annual meeting Of the board
two weeks ago, Mrs. Young declined
to stand for reelection after she was
not chosen on the first ballot, saying
she did not want the position unless
she could have the undivided support
of the board members.
By the action of the board yester-
day. John D. Shoop, who was elected
superintendent to succeed Mrs. Young,
may retain his old position as Mrs.
Youngs assistant, but 1t is not known
whether he will accept. He said his
case was in the hands of his attorney.
Members of the board, whose resig-
nations were placed in the mayor
hands, when they were appointed, were
accepted two weeks ago after MIS-.
Young was not reelected and who re-
fused to vacate their seats at yester-
days meeting in favor of new MEM
bers appointed by Mayor Harrison,
will contest the election in an effort
to retain Mr. Shoop in the position or
superintendent.
AS both Mrs. Young and Mr.. Shoop
now claim the superintendent the
question probably will be taken to
court for a decision.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Special Meeting of the Governor and
Council at'4 p. M, Tuesday, Dec. 80


Inquiries are being received at the
State School Department in regard
to the observance of New Years day
as a school holiday. This day is no
longer designated as a school holiday,
the change being made through a re-
vision of the school holiday law by
the last Legislature. Schools are to
be in session on January first as on
other days of the year which are not
designated as holidays.
It is interesting to note the revised
list of school holidays. Patriots Day,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christ
mas Day are to be observed by the
closing of schools; teachers may draw
their pay for these days the same as
if their schools had been in session.
Arhor Day is not recognized as
school holiday unless it is observed by
the teacher and pupils for the purpose
for which 1t is designated by the
Governor and Council. Lincoln s
birthday is to be observed by the
devotion of some part of the day to
suitable exercises. Washington's birth
day and Columbus Day are to be OBJ
served by exercises of suitable char
acter when the experimenting school
committee shall vote to do so. II,
however, the committee takes no ac-
ton to authorize such exercises the
schools are closed.

ures and painstaking accuracy In all
matters made him a valuable worker
in that capacity. He worked unre-
mittingly for many years and rarely
took vacation. Mr.. Powers spirit OF
willing industry was made evident In
many other directions. In 1883 he
united with the Madison Congregation
al church and always took an active
interest in all that pertained to its
welfare. At different times he has
served as Sunday school superintend.
ent, a member of the board of trus-
tees, and on the soliciting committee
of the church. Mr.. Powers was men,
ber of Indian Spring Lodge, l. o. O.
r, and served term as noble grand
of the lodge. He was also a member
of Old Point Lodge, A. o. u. W., serv-
ing as master of the lodge and later
as district deputy. Mr.. Powers was
one of those who favored the main
tenance and strict enforcement Of the
prohibitory law. In politics he was a
Republican and was actively identi-
fled with the work of the party serv-
ing as chairman of the Madison town
committee. In all interests which might
be named Mr.. Powers showed dis
ciplined good will and benevolence
of spirit which were the most marked
traits of the man. He was patient, OBJ
liging and thoughtful of others, full
of wit and humor, and delighting to
speak his mind frankly but not harsh
ly on all subjects. He was a. wide
awake, energetic, lovable, Christian
man whom all the people Of the town
will miss. He was a great lover of
home and family and untiring in his
devotion to their interests.
