Wife OF DR.. R. B. COOK
IS TAKEN BY death

Mrs. Louisa L. Cook, wife of the
Rev. DR.. Richard B. Cook, died at her
country place, Kerfoot Farm, near
ROckland, on Saturday noon af-
ter an illness Of more than a year.
Mrs Cook had been suffering with
q weak heart, and on Friday she con-
tracted pneumonia, which caused her
death. She was "A years of age,
and was a native of Fauquier county,
Va, her maiden name being Louisa l..
KerfoOt
Mrs. Cook is survived by her hus-
band, DR.. Cook. and five children:
Miss Florence E., Miss Ida W., Mrs.
George Medill, Mrs. Joseph +. Sage
beer. of Berwyn. Pa, and Edward
Glenn Cook, of this city.
Mrs. Cook had been a member of
Second Baptist Church for many
years. DR.. Cook was pastor Of the

tanned Conference since Union had it
last.
Conference next year will be larger
than usual. as the quadrennial lay
mems conference will be held then,
in addition to the ministerial confer
ence.
Members of Conference will leave
for Laurel tomorrow afternoon. The
Conference will formally open We'd
nesday morning. There is much
speculation about ministerial assign
ments, and some prospective changes
that have not been looked for are hint
ed at. The Rev. DR.. George e. Reed.
pastor of Grace Church, this city, is
shipping his household goods to Har-
risburg, Pa, where he and Mrs. Reed
will live, probably retired from active
work, with DR.. Reeds son, at the resi-
dence that has been in the possession
OF the family for many years.
DR.. Reed will preach his farewell
sermon next Sunday at Grace Church.
1t was said today there is q possi-
bility that Grace will not secure a
permanent pastor until Fall. as the
minister they are seeking is a mem-
Der of a Conference that does not
meet until six months hence. Should
this prove the case, the church may
have TO get various ministers to Off
oiate there until a pastor is ap-
pointed
One Of the possible changes spoken
of today included st. Paul's Church,
this city, in it. According TO a re-
port the Rev. DR.. V. S. Collins may
leave St. Pauls, either to become SUI
perintendent of Salisbury district or
to become pastor at Laurel. The Rev.
G. c. Williams is pastor at Laurel,
and it is said there is a possibility
that he either may be named as SUI
perintendent Of Salisbury district OF
be appointed pastor of st. Paul's
Church, this city. These changes also
would afford an appointment for the
Rev. DR.. G.. p. Jones, who is to retire
from the Salisbury district superin-
tendency.
Another report today was 10 the ef-
feet that there is a possibility of the
Rev. J. l.. Johnson being transferred
from New Castle to the pastorate OF
McCabe Church. this city.

rived early this morning. He was ac-
companied by clerk from the Hitch
cock drug store where Drug Clerk
Merrill was shot and killed by two
masked highwaymen last fall. 1t was
planed to have this drug clerk look
at the prisoners today at the court
house to see if they resembled the
murderers and thieves who raided the
store.
That Kralzus has served in Jail in
other places for robbery was verified
today when Chief of Police Black re-
ceived a portrait of Peter Krakus.
alias Peter Kulunis, a Russian shoe
maker, who was sentenced to five to
ten years for breaking and entering
in June, 1911, at Plymouth. Mass.
Krakus was paroled on October %
1914
Chief Black also received word from
the Massachusetts, State RefOrmatOry
that finger prints of Kralkus sent to
that institution by Chief Black Tailed
with the print of Kral1us fingers in
/ that States Identification bureau.
| Krakus was examined yesterday by
Chief Black and Detective Wardle at
! the workhOuse, as also was Montyid-
Krakus refused to talk while Montvid
did not tell anything that would throw
any additional light on the murder Of
the Rev. Joseph Zebrows and his
housekeeper, Eva l.. Gilman, at New
Britain, Conn. February s. Krakus
was affected when shown a portrait
of the dead priest. The prisoner was
again affected when the dead priests
watch, which krakus had pawned at
Maggs pawnshOp is Philadelphia, was
shown him.
Efforts 10 get the man to talk when
he was shown the signed confession
Of Montvid, in which Krakus was
named as the murderer of the priest
and his housekeeper, were fruitless.
Montvid, on the other hand, was
as talkatiye as ever, and he made an
| additional statement TO the effect that
he had seen one OF Krakus friends
who had assisted i'm the murder of
New Britain, at French street station
OF The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in Wilmington when he and
KTakus arrived on March from
Philadelphia. MOntyid renewed his
declarations TINT he only watched
outside the priests house while Kra-
kUs and two other men entered the
building and committed the double
murder. Montvid also told Chief
Black that Krakus had threatened him
with death if he (Alontyid) ever told
any one OF the murder.
The local police place no credence
in Montvid's story of other men be-
ing involved in the Connecticut crime
or that Krakus' friends have been
here.
During the interview with Krakus
yesterday, the prisoner kept saying,
MY sister is coming This diff
fered somewhat from the past NUT
terings of Krakus. which were to the
effect, "Send for my sister and sha
will come"
Sergeant Rutherford and the Brook
e line. Mass. drug clerk had good
look at Krakus and Montvid at the
Court House, but the clerk was un-
able to identify them as the murderers
OF the clerk, Merrill. 1t was said
by the clerk that the men when they
entered the drug store and started 10
shoot, wore mask. The two prisoners
here we're of the same height as those
who committed the murder and rob
berry there.

DIFFERENTIATION DAY

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A number of cities are giving favorable con.
sideraton to the suggestion that the Fourth
each year be observed as Amercanlzatlon Day
The nomenclature is extremely awkward, but
the idea behind it is good.
The thought Is to pay special attention on each
national birthday to American citizens recently
naturalized and to aliens who have taken al
least one step toward acquiring full partnership
in the affairs of the nation; to make the Fourth
q great festival of Americanism. Cleveland has
several times observed what might be made Of
such an occasion. Adding such inspiring
formality to the process of attaining citizenship
may well be considered worth any community's
effort.
The fight for a sane Fourth has been won in
most cities and the rest will follow the ma
jority. Now arises the problem of giving the
day something more than the mere negative
character implied in series of prohibitions. The
day might well be utilized to give new Ameri-
cans taste of American patriotism mixed with
American cordiality, 1t would be an annual
occasion as significant to citizens of long stand
ing as to those of more recent allegiance.
1t Is an idea worth thinking about. World
events during the past year add to the timeli-
ness of the suggestion

HANDICAPPING THE COMMANDER
General Jores Experience With Domestic Intrigue Out
matched by the Story of the Plots and Vaccinations
Against Washington in the Revolution
BY RAYMOND G. FULLER

of the Revolution. It was Washington who
foresaw the British plan to separate New
England from the rest of the colonies, who
laid the counter-plans which worked out so
successfully. He aroused New England and
New York, and to keep Howe from joining
Burgoyne he kept Howe busy. Credit to
Gates yes; but credit to Washington for the
terrible sacrifices he made while Congress
was assailing him and his own officers were
plotting against him, to secure victory for
Gates at the north.
The Conway Cabal
The success of Gates greatly encouraged
those who were trying to drive Washington
out of power. We come now to the Infamous
Conway Cabal," and can leave the Adamses
out Of the story. The story now to be told
has curious sound when we compare 1t
with the description of Washington as First
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen." A part of the machinery
of this wretched cabal was the publication in
London and the republication in the colonies
Of a collection of forged letters bearing the
name of Washington and intended to prove
his insincerity in the cause of the Revolution
1t was only in 1896, when he was about to re-
tire from the presidency, that Washington
fled in the office of the Secretary of State,
denial of its authenticity
The moving spirit in the cabal was an Irish
adventurer named Conway who had obtained
a commission in the American army and who
made eXorbtant claims to promotion Lowell
and Gates and a number of minor officers of
the American army were also concerned in
the plot against Washington Gates. bv the
way, had not taken the trouble to send wash
ington report of the victory at Saratoga
and the commander-in- chief had received
his first information through accidental chan
nels. Then Gates had refused to send the
troops which Washington urgently needed in
the effort to control the Delaware The cabaI
went down to apparent defeat, but rail-
lied and late in the year 1777 secured the
enlargement of the board of war to a mem
bership of five, with Gates at it's head ana
Conway as Inspector general After the
known Vaccinations of Gates and Conway
1t was direct insult to Washington.
The story of Lee is insignificant by COM
parison, yet Lee had tried to ruin Washing
ton, in the expectation that he would succeed
to supreme command. His first disobedlence
was in November, 1915, when he made neces-
sary the retreat through New Jersey. Not
only did he disobey orders, but he began a
ietter-writing campaign in the effort to dis
credit his chief. Disobedience was in the
way of becoming his habit until II was
checked at Monmouth two years later.
% The greatness of Washington triumnbed
over domestic malice The Revolution came
to successful end. But Washington's later
experience in the service of the country he
loved so we'll was such that a lesser man
might easily have surrendered to bitterness
of mind. No wonder that phrase survives
1.-THE ingratitude of republics"
