your generosity, on behalf of the poor
and needy at Christmas time, are be-
ginning to bear good fruit. Dona-
tions OF small sums of money, CLOTH
ing and food are coming In In ever
increasing numbers, and 1t now looks
as though our Christmas Cheer Fund

And this is as 1t should be. we
have tried and shall continue to try
to make the public in general feel that
it Is to be a fund to which each fndi-
vidual contributes something. be II
ever so little, and that the sum total
OF all these small contributions shall
make up an amount sufficient to pro
vide hearty cheer for majority OF
the needy families, and bring JOY in
the shape of visit from Santa Claus
to as many OF the children who write
him in our care as is possible.

ones seek to take advantage of d
movement Of this kind, we say that
all the cases presented by the Bureau

positively guaranteed to us by these
societies as being genuine and emf

Trial OF Politician Who Killed
Son-in-Law Starts in New
City Today

NEW CITY. N. Y. Dec. .17.--Brck-
en-hearted Mrs. Anna Newman. q
beautiful girl widow. came here today
to see her father, william v. Cleary,
placed on trial for the murder of Eu-
gene Newman, her husband. The muir
der occurred last July. few hours
after the young people were made
man and wife. It rests with the girl
TO decide whether she shall yolun-
tarily take the stand and give testi-
mony that may send her father to
the death chair at Sing Sing or to
hfe imprisonment.
When the machinery of the court
was set in motion today 1t laid bare
one Of the most tragic life dramas
In the recent history OF the State.
Eugene Newman, an eighteen-year-
old boy, son of prominent resident
of Haverstraw. and pretty Anna
Cleary eloped and were married July
18. The young husband went TO the
office Of his new father-in-law to tell
Cleary a straightforward story Of
his marriage. It was then he was
shot dead.
There were witnesses In the room
and all the facts Of the killing were
substantiated. One point in dispute
which is expected to have the great
est bearing on the case is whether
Cleary knew OF the marriage before
he killed Newman. Cleary's defense
is expected to be that he was tenn
porarily crazed with drink.

WILSON TO KEEP
LYNN IN OFFICE
ASA TEST CASE
To Resist Senate on Question
Of constitutionaIity Of Re-
cess Appointment.

| WASHINGTON, Dec. t7.-President
Wilson has accepted the challenge of
the Senate on patronage matters and
the fight is on. The President is
ready to meet the issue and that he
intends to continue John d. Lynn. of
Rochester, In the office OF United
States attorney for the western dis
trict Of New York, notwithstanding
the unanimous action of the Senate
In rejecting the nomination.
Lynn was cetapulted into office by
recess appointment few days be-
fore the Senate met and after thus
becoming ensconced there was nomi-
mated by the President in the regu-
lar way. Evidently the President be-
lieves in the old saying that pos
session Is nine points of the law"
BY comforting this recess commits
sion on Lynn that gentleman was
promptly transferred from an out
into an i'm and will be able to hold
the office through the presetn session
OF Congress and probably beyond 1t.
II was tntimated that the President
would make no nomination, but al
low Lynn to continue in office during
the session and then probably try tc
continue him on the job by another
recess nomination after the session
of Congress adjourns.
The President, 1t was also made
known, intends to stand pat on the
other recess appointments of the
same character made by him in New
Jersey and Missouri.
The disposition of the President to
continue persons in office after the
Senate has rejected their nominations
was the subject of much comment,
and If threats of senators are carried
out there will be stirring times be-
tween President Wilson and some of
his party followers in the upper
House.
The senators insist that such nomi-
nations as are involved in the pres
ent controversy do not belong exclu-
sively to the President. The power
of appointment is a divided one in
that the constitution prescribes that
such nominations shall be made "by
and with the advice and consent of
the Senate"
The Senate having unanimously re-
fused TO consent to the nomination
of Mr.. Lynn, the attempt Of the
President to continue him In office
will be resisted by the senators Bit
terly. One prominent Democratic
senator said today that the Presi-
dent should pause before he attempts
10 invade or ignore the constitutional
authority OF Congress in the matter
of nominations
'He took an oath to uphold and
defend the constitution" said this
senator. ''and there is q power in
Congress and In the Senate to deal
with public officers who disregard the
constitution. This is serious business,
and the President will find it out If he
persists in the course which he has
taken in one or two nominations al
ready, and which, it is said by his
spokesman, he intends TO take in the
future"
The Administrations view OF the
situation was reuected yesterday
from the attorney generals Office. II
was stated that Attorney General
Gregory had looked up the legal as
poets of the appointments and that
he concurs in the view of the White
House that a commission issued by
the President during recess OF Con-
gress continues until the end of the
succeeding session.

IN NPOTTSWLLE,
WIPES OUT BLOCK
insufficient Water Supply Ac-
counts for Rapid Spread.
Holiday Goods Destroyed.

POTTSVILLE, Pa, Dec. 17.--F1re
in the business section of Pottsville
early today wiped out property val
ued at nearly two million dollars. An
entire block of business buildings,
which was stocked with holiday
goods, were destroyed It was the
worst fire in Pottsville's history.
The area burned over is bounded
by Centre, Second, Norwegian and
Mahantongo streets. Twenty stores.
the Pennsylvania National Bank and
the Academy OF Music, one of Potts
ville's leading playhouses. were
among the buildings destroyed. The
postoffice caught fire, but was not
badly damaged.
The fire started in the rear Of the
Woolworth store and spread on the
one side to the Britton- Hoffman fur
niture store, and on the other to the
City Department store. owned by a
New York Cleveland syndicate. The
upper floors of the department store
were used as offices. The flames
communicates with stores and other
buildings. Inability to secure SUM-
cient water supply in the early stages
of the fire is given as cause for
the rapid spread of the flames. The
electric power was shut Off because
of the danger of broken wires and
the city is without electric lights and
power Street car service is also sus-
pended
The Pennsylvania Bank building
was occupied by lawyers and others.
The hanks valuables were locked in
a fire-proof vault and are believed to
be undamaged. The Union Safe De-
posit Bank building, nearby, was
slightly damaged, but the bank
opened for business while the fire was
burning itself out.
Much OF the loss is not covered by
insurance, especially that on the
large stocks of holiday goods laid in
by the stores.

$40 week. Almost every day since
late in last July 70 early in August he
stole from the road, the police allege

simply to withhold money from his
daily collections. He Is said to have
taken from $40 to $50 a day.

lice he spent his money for taxicab
rides, theatre parties and dinners in

POLITE BURGLARS
STRIP RESIDENCE
OF CHARLESPO
Bid Time Of Day to a Servant
and Exchange Greetings
With a Maid.
Special to the Evening Star.

SUMMIT, Dec. 1.-Two polite,
methodical burglars entered the
homes of Charles II. Post and Alex
ander r. Nicol here this morning
and stopped for a minute to discuss
the weather with a choreman on their
way out of town. They stripped the
home of Mr.. Post of all valuables aft
er a thorough ransacking, but just
how much they got cannot be told
until the Posts return from New
York, where they are spending the
week buying Christmas presents.
The burglars first called at the home
of Mr.. Nicol, at 215 Springfield ave-
nue., forcing the kitchen door with
a Jimmy. They awakened Mr.. Nicol.
however. and he threw on all the cleo
trio lights In the house by turning a
switch at his bedside.
This scared the intruders away, but
they took a pair of gloves which were
lying on a table. Mr.. Nicol said later
he believed this happened between
and o'clock, but he could not say
Just when.
From here the pair went to the
home of. Mr.. Post, which Is but a
short distance away at the corner of
Whitredge place and Dogwood road,
and was burg.arized about a year
ago when articles valued at S1,500
were taken during the absence of the
family.
This morning the burglars forced a
kitchen window with a jimmy and
went from room to room in a leisurely
manner, leaving u trail of cigarette
stubs behind They first found a
bunch of keys which fitted the closets
and bureaus and turned out the con-
tents of everything on the floor.
Politely Requested Money.
No one was aware of the presence
of the burglars until a knock came
on the door of Alice Martin, Mrs.
Posts's maid, about $40. She asked
who was knocking and a pleasant
mans voice replied suggesting that
she open the door and produce what
ever money she had. Miss Martin
said that she had no money, and
when they told her not to try to de-
ceive them with such a fiimsy pre-
text, she said they could go down in
the sewing room on the first floor and
find her bank book on the sewing
machine and this would show that
she had deposited her money the day
before.
She says they did go down stairs
and that she listened at the door and
heard one say. That's right. there's
the bank book" Then the other
said: "They are trying to get out"
and the two ran upstairs again and
told the girls not to move or they
would be hurt.
An incident of their thoroughness
was found in the dining-room, where
they emptied pitcher partially
filled with water to find out whether
il was sterling. The pitcher was
plated and thrown to one side, but a
wet rug in another direction from
which he pitcher was thrown showed
