mound boys in this part of the country,
Patsy Drouillard, the light weight

pion of the U. S. Navy and a Toledo
boy, meets ALIVE Miller, of Lorain, in

SAYS HE SAW A REAL GHOST
"Materialized Spirit" Visits Clergy
man In London

man In London
,-eI ~ lu9luoo 9lmb sBM GU lsIu Nv
London.-A wonderful ghost story
is agitating high society, according to
The London Express. The principals
are people of the highest social posi-.
ton.
The vicar of Kensington church
was leaving the church after the choir
practice when lady stepped out of
the aisle and asked him in agitated
tones to come with her at once to an
address near by.
"a gentleman is dying there" she
said. HE is extremely concerned
about the state of his soul and anxious
to see you before he dies"
The clergyman followed her to
waiting taxicab, and short drive
round the corner brought them to a
mansion. The lady, who seemed to be
hurry. He sprang out of the cab, rang
the bell, and butler appeared.
Does Mr.-live here?"
"Yes, sir"
81 hear he is seriously i'll and has
sent for me-"
The butler seemed astonished al
most beyond words. He expostulated
that his master was not ill, that as a
matter of fact he was in the best of
health.
"But this lady exclaimed the
vicar, as he turned around and then an
expression OF blank establishment came
over him.
The taxicab and the lady had COM
pletely disappeared.
The butler looked on the clergyman
as either a madman or a practical
joker, and was about to slam the door
when his master came along the pas
sage and inquired what it was all
about
Are you Mr.-9' asked the cler-
gyman. 81 heard that you were seri-
ously i'll, that you were concerned
about your soul and that you had sent
for me-"
He described the lady who had
brought him, and the dying" man said
he could not identify her; that he had
no such friend of acquaintance. They
discussed this matter on the Doorstep
for few moments, and then the cler
gyman was invited to come inside.
ut is very strange" said Mr.
that you should have been sent OF
such an errand in such a mysterious
way. AS a matter of fact, though, an
perfectly well, l have been troubled
lately about the state of my soul, and
have been seriously contemplating
calling upon you to discuss the matter
with you Now that you are here lei
US brush aside this strange incident
and if you will give me the time We
will discuss what has been on my con
science"
The clergyman stayed for an hour o.
so, and it was then arranged that hi
new acquaintance should come to tn,
church the next morning and the.
would continue their discussion afte
service. He did not appear at th'
church, and the vicar, very much in
terested, called to see what was tn,
matter. He was met at the door by tn,
butler, who told him that his maste
had died ten minutes after he left th
house on the previous evening.
They went upstairs to the bedroom
where the dead man lay, and on tabl
in the middle of the room stood POI
trait of the lady who had brought tn
clergyman in the cab from the church
who is that?" asked the astonishe,
clergyman
'That, sir" replied the butler, 81
my masters wife, who died fifteel
years ago."

LONDON, Jan. al. Hamilton
Lewis, United States Senator from Illi-
nois' who Is paying London one of his
periodical visits, is creating the usual
sartorial sensation. AS he strolls along
the principal West End streets, clad in
the latest Lewisesque creations, the
schoolgirls sigh, while the young
oloods" turn green with envy. At the
Savoy Hotel. where Senator Lewis is
stopping. much the same state of af-
fairs exists. No one has any chance
while the Senator Is around.
Clothes apart. Senator Lewis has been
much entertained.
Senator Lewis, referring to Mr.. Pin
dell and the Russian Ambassadorship,
remarked:
That's all right. Pindells confirma-
ton only awaits my return, as it is
necessary, according to custom, that we
move 1t in the Senate. AS regards a
new treaty between the United States
and Russia, that should only be nego-
tiated on the same terms of a similar
treaty with England, France or any
other civilized country"
In conclusion Senator Lewis said he
thought President Wilson had made
good in every way.

volver himself when. unarmed, he
pursued and sought to capture the
man.
The highwayman escaped and is
being sought by Sheriff Doyle and
a posse. Many prominent residents
of Westchester aroused by this lat
est of several recent holdups, are
aiding in the search. Arthur Bocock,
of New York, a clerk in the Lawyers
Title Company, whose Offices are in
Liberty street there, was victim of
the highwayman, who took $40 from
Mr.. Bocock
Mr.. Reid was driving an automobile
with his brother-in-la law, William
Rogers. AS they approached sum-
NIT they saw a man standing by the
roadside with both hands held in the
air. Another man stood close by.
Help. I'm being held up!" the man
with hands up shouted. Reid caught
his words and so did Rogers. but
neither was much impressed.
Thought II Was q "Movie" Drama.
The moving picture dramatic COM
panies have overrun this part of
Westchester County for years. and
the natives have become accustomed
to representations of all sorts of
bloodcurdling crimes They are con-
tinually coming upon lifelike imita-
lions of murders, holdups, bandit
raids and other exciting performances
done to the life in the woodlands, the
roads and the villages of this county
Reid was driving swiftly and his au-
tomobile shot past the two men in
the road at high speed.
Reid and Rogers turned and looked
with some curiosity at the two men
at the roadside. Only then did they
discover that one of the men was,
masked by bandanna, and that he
was pressing a revolver against the
stomach of the other man. The ex-
preston on the face of the latter, Bo-
cock, instantly caused the men in the
automobile to realize that this was
a real holdup and not play.
Stopping the automobile quickly,
Reid drove back just as the high
wayman started for the woods. A
few words from Bocock told Reid
and Rogers all they needed to know,
and both started at a run on the
trail of the bandit. Neither had any
weapon, but both took the trail, and
after going a quarter OF a mile came
upon the bandit. He will still masked,
and when they were close upon him
he whirled round.
Halted by Revolver.
IF you come any nearer I'll kill
you" he called TO Reid, who was In
advance. The robbers pistol was lev
eled at Mr.. Reds breast. The pur-
suers halted while the bandit backed
away into the woods.

the home of the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough, who was formerly Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt. 1t is one of the
most attractive residences in London.
Mr.. Duke was delighted with the
house because of Mrs. Dukes partic-

feature of Crewe House, which is only
two stories high, greatly pleased Mr..
and Mrs. Duke, who will undoubtedly
buy the place unless the price asked

There is wonder, too, in London as
to what will become Of the beautiful

Somerville, N. J. 1t, with its 1900
acres, is one of the show places of
America. Thirty-two miles of drives

conduct. Lawyers throughout his dis
trict are the main witnesses against
him, although none has been more
fearless than Colonel w. A. Huff, the
aged Macon man, former mayor of
the city and one of its foremost citi-
Zens.
Huff Denounces Judge.
Colonel Huff minced no words, call
ing Judge Speer a rascal" charging
that he is unfair, arbitrary, partisan,
oppressive and despotic.
Major E. w. Simmons, an attorney
Of Lawrenceville, Ca, testified that he
had withdrawn all litigation, in which
he appeared as counsel, from Judge
Speer's court, transferring it to the
State courts. This was due to the be-
lief that he could not get fair treat
ment from Judge Speer, because of a
personal antagonist growing out Of
political estrangement. He an
nounced that in every suit brought by
him before Judge Speer following this
estrangement, a judgment adverse to
his cause followed and that these
decisions invariably were reversed on
appeal.
j. Tom Hill, an attorney of Cordele,
testified that 'he often had been hui
inflated by Judge Speer. once partic-
ularly when he was, cited for con-
tempt in a case concerning an attor.
ney's fee, half of which he had been
ordered to return to his client.
Speer Called Tyrant.
w. f. Snodgrass, an attorney of
Townsville, declared that Judge
Speer was tyrannical and arbitrary,
and that litigants were slow to file
suits in his court, fearing they could
not get justice. One of the witnesses
admitted that he once had paid j. n.
Talley, former private secretary to
Judge Speer, a fee of $50 to represent
him in an effort to have bank desig-
mated as a depository for bankruptcy
funds, and that his request had been
granted.
One of the most serious charges
came from w. e. Simmons, a Law
renceville lawyer, who declared that
Judge Speer appropriated 1920 out
of the registry of the court in Savan-
nah. Clerk of the Court King, now
dead. paid it back to Simmons, to
whom the money was owing, in in
stallments, 1t was declared, and
that Judge Speer afterwards borrowed
the money from a Savannah man,
and reimbursed King.
Attorneys for Judge Speer, at first
confident, have begun to lose little
of their nonchalance with the progress
of the investigation, which has now
passed its fifth! day. Judge Speer at
tends all the sessions, appearing in
different and even bored, as the wit
nesses denounce him.

Special Gable TO The American.
LONDON, Jan 24.-Now that James
b. Duke, the American tobacco king,
and his beautiful wife, Mrs. Nannelie
Holt Inman Duke, the former Allan
ia society woman, have taken over
the historic Crewe House of London
and have established themselves in
princely style, all social London is
wondering whether the Dukes will
come to live entirely in England and
become British subjects.
At least there Is an eminent prece-
dent for this course in the action of
William Waldorf Aston, and London
ers are beginning to talk of the AS
tors and the Dukes in the same
breath. The renting Of the house will
mean that Mr.. Duke VIII spend at
least six months a year In England,
mainly on account Of his increasing
duties as president of the British
American Tobacco Company.
Crewe House is the property Of
the Marquis of Crewe, and is on Cur
