DIES OF FEAR AFTER NINE DAYS.
Girl Seemingly Unhurt in Auto Wreck
Sinks Into Fatal Coma.

Worcester, Mass, Jan, 5,-Niss Anna
Wheeler, daughter of Dr. Charles d,
Wheeler, died at 1880 Saturday in the
City hospital, after a period of 2ll1a
hours of Inconsistencies, resulting from
an auto accident on Christmas day.
The auto in which Miss Wheeler was
riding with her sister, Miss Mary
Wheeler, was struck by trolley car
and wrecked. Miss Mary Wheeler es-
capped without injury, but at the shock
of the collision Miss Anna Wheeler sank
into a state of insensibiIity from which
il was impossible to arouse her.
1t is the opinion of the hospital ply
stefan that the fear of the impending
blow from the trolley car caused blood
vessel in the girls brain to break; in
other words, she was frightened to
death, There was not scratch or a
bruise on her body.

AMERICAN POLICY
IS UNCHANGED
Speculation Rife as to Why
Envoy Was Not Per-
mitted to Land

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. with
the departure late Saturday from Pass
Christian of the scout cruiser Chester
bearing John Lind, the presidents per.
sonal envoy, back to Mexico, to con-
tinue his observations of Mexican affairs
the mystery which has enveloped Mr.
Lind's visit to President Wilson was
only partly cleared. Just why the presi-
dent decided not to permit Mr.. Lind to
have any "shore leave" and took upon
himself the Inconvenience of being trans.
shipped four times at sea has not been
explained. President Wilson volunteered
no explanation, but one of the SUPPOSE
tions current is that he did not wish
the special envoy to be subjected to
the inquisition of newspaper correspond
ents, Another theory is that the presi-
dent desired to show Mexico that there
is no change in the American policy and
no actual interruption of Mr.. Lind's
mission to Mexico.
The peculiar movements of the rev.
enue cutter Winona and the long delay
before the president and Mr.. Lind actual
ly met were partly accounted for Sat
urday, when it became known that the
lack of wireless facilities on the revenue
cutter had confused plans. When the
Chester reported her arrival, the Vino
mas launch had to make a l5-mile trip
to shore and back again before arrange
ments could be made for the presidents
visits.
The president was the only source of
information concerning the conference
with Mr.. Lind. He spoke of it Satur-
day only in broad generalities, declar-
ing that nothing specific had been de-
veloped and that nothing of any definite
character oecasioned the meeting. The
president asserted that he discussed no
particular plan of action.
Norman and John Lind, ir., returned
to Pass Christian from the Chester late
Saturday and after five hours visit with
their father, They said he gave them
but little information about the Mexican
situation. The Linds started for their
home in Minneapolis yesterday. Presi-
dent Wilson worked in his study all the
afternoon reading documents and writ
ing letters. He had enjoyed morning
of golf and seemed greatly benefited by
Saturdays balmy weather.

ton, Ill.,, and vigorous protest against
vile insult to the women of the
American stage, we, the undersigned,
respectfully ask that you give pub
licity to the following:
A young woman member of one of
the visiting dramatic companies now
playing in Chicago was forced to un.
dergo an emergency operation. The
surgeon whom she consulted-a DR..
Edwin H. Pratt of Chicago-advised
the st. Francis Hospital of Evanston,
ILL.,, but warned his patient that she
must conceal the fact that she was an
actress or she would not be admitted,
women of the stage being barred. Sub
sequently the patient was taken to the
Streeter Hospital and the operation
successfully performed. Investigation
of this unbelievable attitude of a
Christian institution toward suffer-
ing woman brought from the Mother
Superior of the st. Francis Hospital
an emphatic denial of the charge. No
such discrimination had ever been
made, nor would be. AS between the
yeracity of the Mother Superior and
the physician there can be no question.
Later when DR.. Pratt was called upon
to reiterate his statement, he replied;
Eyes, the st. Francis Hospital is a
very narrow and bigoted institution.
1t refuses to receive criminals, cpl
leptics, actresses and other undesir-
ables." This was the statement of DR..
Pratt to one of the company of which
his patient is a member.

ly, the ex-president said:
"The Philippine Islands themselves
are an example of what ancient for
eign missions could do. They hold the
only people, the only race, in the
Orient that are Christians, made so
three hundred years ago by the earnest
effort of Augustinian and Franciscan
friars. They led them on, taught them
the agricultural arts, and induced them
to lead peaceful and religious life.
And that which they wrought has
been to our great advantage in work
ing out the problem that we are set
to there-the problem of teaching
them self-government. They are
Christian people. and they look to Eu-
rope and America for their ideals, and
they recognize those ideals. And that
makes it possible to instil in them the
principles of civil liberty and the free

DISPENSING CHARITY.

The St. Vincent De Paul Society can
be shown by statistics to be a one
hundred per cent charitable institu-
ton, with true Christian charity add
ed for good measure. We have com.
pared the statistics furnished by other
charitable organizations with that of
st. Vincent De Paul Society, but, to
be candid about the matter, there ia
really no comparison. Father Dona.
hue, city missioner of st. Paul, has
shown that ninety-seven cents out of
every dollar collected for relief are
used for the purpose for which the
donors intended and that but three per
cent was necessary for administration
purposes. Comparing this with other
forms Of public charity, 1t Is very EVIL
dent that the old saying, Charity
must begin at home," does not govern
the administration of every form of
charity. The business man, who gives
his name and donation, can not be
classed in the same sense as a giver
toward charity as the man who gives
his donation and, instead of giving
his name, looks up the condition of
dependent and unfortunate and gives
his name instead. Thus charity ia
made real, the ends of charity are
furthered and the purpose of charity
is carried out. The giver takes real
interest in those to whom he gives, an
acquaintance with the poor is fos.
tered and the duty of the more fortu.
nate is brought home to them. Where
great per cent of the money paid
toward charity is spent for administra.
ton purposes, one is impressed with
a logic underlying, the explanation
given to the collector for foreign mis-.
sions. The donor in this case made
habit Of giving one dollar and one
cent each year when the ministers
held their conference. When asked to
explain why he made the practice of
giving this particular amount each
year, he explained that he had always
been taught to contribute any sum,

IRISH FREEDOM.

How significant it is that the publ

suppress because of it's anti-recruiting
sentiments should be the publication
known as Irish Freedom" Whether
by fate or coincidence it matters not,
Irish freedom is the object at which
England has aimed her malicious par

Irish freedom has been always the sub
