Lockport Wets Prove Poor Losers

The saloons in most of the cities that were voted
dry in the April elections closed their doors without
any demonstration Of ll-will Many of them had bar

sales conducted in peaceful and orderly man

Passing of jacob E. Meeker


For more than year the temperance forces have
been troubled in various places by the appearance OF
Rev Jacob Z. Meeker in their campaigns in defense
for the existing liquor traffic The thing that gave him
weight with some people the claim that he had
been preacher in charge of Congregational congre-
cation in ST. Louis upon time.
Many things could be said at this point but it is
sufficient to say that people who are not looking tor
some apology for their liquor preudces and who have
sense enough to think utterly disguised with any
preacher who attempts defense of such abomlna-
ton the liquor traffic The inevitable result is that
Mr. Meeker has already gone to the ministerial Junk
heap there lose his identity and liquor value along
with the half dozen or SO of other "Reverends of his
type.
Here is the Ecclesiastical Obituary as composed
by the official body of his church:

GERMAN INSURANCE PLAN
DISCLOSES ITS WEAKNESS
Special Glass Will Have to Be
Formed to Care for Do
nestle Servants.

BERLIN March l.. 1914
Although the amended and consolidated
system of sick insurance i'll the German
empire came into force only OF January
l. the provisions for the insurance of
domestic servants-the most important of
all the new classes OF workers involved
have already broken down.
The long and the short of the matter
is that domestic servants viii have TO
be insured as 4 separate class in sepa-
rate ''krankenkasSen." and on a basis
which reflects the real risk of illness,
and SO reduces the cost OF insurance.
The main trouble has arisen in this way:
The law leaves it to the municipalities to
decide whether they will found rural
catesorles of insured persons into the
existing urban krankenkassen. Having
no indu cement to take action. and being
faced in any case by the appropriately of
the scheme they Rave for the most part
done nothing.
The result is that very few new rural
krankenkasse have been formed. and
domestic servants have TO so into the
as if they were engaged in any other sort
OF labor. In Berlin it costs them and
their employ erS-iu practice their en-
ployers-from $50 to $40 a year to insure
them or about 10 per cent OF their
wages 1t is recognized Inat such rates
are out of all proportion to the risk. and
also that il is absurd to calculate do

owing to the inability of the house of

naval estimates by a considerable sum

agreed to by the members of the house

believed that the cabinet will resign.
The difference between the two houses

passed an appropriation for this purpose
amounting to S62,U00oJo. but the peers

VII use Dr.. Eranham's admission in an
e'tort TO convince Gov. Goldsborough of
ne existence of a reasonable doubt"
The McCleary case excited widespread
interest. Mrs. Henry was found dead in
her home in August 1912. The coroner
gave a certificate of death from natural
causes. Marks being discovered on the
body. suspicion of foul play was created
and McCleary was q few days later ar
tested in Washington. where he had
gone in search OF Miss Lupah Henry,
daughter OF the dead woman. with whom
lie is said to have been infatuated The
contention of the prosecution was that
Miss Lupah Henry left Hagerstown to
escape McCleary's unwelcome attentions
and that in fit of anger he strans!ed
Mrs. Henry because she would not tell
him her daughters whereabouts.
McCleary was tried before the court,
all three judges-Chief Judge Hammond
Grner and Associate Judges Edward c.
Peter and Glenn II. Notwithstanding
in the case. The big fight at the trial
was over the admission of a confession
McCleary signed shortly after his arrest,
in which he admitted choking Mrs. Henry
because she would not tell him where
her daughter had gone. The defense con-
tended that the confession was extracted
from McCleary by the most extreme third
degree methods and that he signed the
confession to escape further tortures. The
confession. however, was admitted as evil
dcnce, although Chief Judge Urner did
not concur with the other Judges.

PARDON FOR M'CLEARY
SOUGHT FROM GOVERNOR
Lawyers Plead There Is Reasonable
Doubt as to Cause of Mrs.
Henry's Death.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

ROCKVILLE. Nd. March -. 1914
That Gov. Goldsborough will be asked
- pardon Norman B. McCleary. who
was convicted in the circuit court here
about year ago OF the murder of Mrs.
Mamie b Henry. his sweetheart
mother. at her home in HagerstoHu. and
who is now serving a life term III the
Maryland penitentiary, the ground
that there was a reasonable doubt of
the cause OF Mrs. Henrys death, has
been announced by McC!eary's attorneys
--Wasaman 4 Wagaman of Hagerstown
and Thomas Dawson of Rockville.
The hope of executive clcmency is
based upon statement OF Dr. Henry
g. BraHham of Baltimore. who was the
principal medical witness o. the prose
cutioa. Dr. Branham conducted the
autopsy on Mrs. Henrys body and testi-
lied at the trial that the Woman's heart
lungs and throat indicated that death
ad resulted from strangulation, and that
the hyoid bone was broken and the
trachea bruised. indicating strangulation
by throttlinS. Dr.. Branham has since
stated that subsequent investigation has
led him to doubt the correctness of those
conclusions.

Mrs. Henry showed death to have resulted
from spontaneous hemorrhage, and DR..

nave been Strangulation.
