.FATE'S DEATH DEAL
FILLS LIES WANTS
Real Funeral To Be First Lux
ury to Enter Bare Life of
Waller" Starved Outcast.

Fate has played her last grim prank
on "Yaller," namsless, homeless and an
ioutcast. Through the hand OF death
she has granted him the measure of
recognition and respect that life per
sistently withheld.
This morning the body of the man
who never had home nor an intimate
friend Is lying in state in Frank Mon
tenes's undertaking room, North First
Street and briggs Avenue, Williams
burg, awaiting n burial that will cost
more than "Yaller" ever saw, much less
possessed, in life. Friends for whom he
yearned during his days Of loneliness
have come forward and contributed
funeral for him.
IL Is another freak Of "Yaller's" eX-
istence that he ate his way to fame in
a pie-estng contest and died for want
of the little nourishment necessary to
hold his tired body and soul together.
On the records OF the Metropolitan
Hospital, on Blackwelps Island, where
he died yesterday morning, it is set
forth that quick consumption caused
his death. But anybody who had fol-
lowed "Yaller's" checkered career could
have added that lack Of nourishment
was the real trouble.
Unless the memories of old residents
Of Brooklyn play them false, il was
thirty-three years ago when a police
man sauntered up TO hungry but
cheerful child who sat on O box at
briggs Avenue and Lorimer Street. in
Williamsburg, swinging his short legs
The boy didn't know how he had found
his way TO the spot, and nobody took
the trouble 70 find out. Since inditfer-
ent parents had supplied MIN with no
name, street loungers later supplied
the substitute "Yaller" because Of his
striking resemblance 70 the Yellow
Kid. The name chung TO the boy as
persistently as did his other misfort-
unes.
"Yaller" slept, ate and lived nobody
knew where, until he leaped 20 q tran
STORY fame at a pie-eating contest at
the old Unique Theatre, Brooklyn, by
consuming eleven mince MES.
On the morning OF Christmas Eve
Waller" awoke on q hard bench in a
lodging house at Bedford and South
First Streets. This was nothing un-
usual TO him. but what did surprise him
was that he found 1t impossible to rise
when the attendants threw open the
doors and ordered the sleepers out at
o'clock.
"Yaller" suspected he was sick. A
physician verified his suspicious and
sent him to Blackwell's Island. There,
amid greater comforts than he ever
had known in life, he died.
James Short, one Of the men who had
known and been interested In "Yaller,"
notified business men who had been ac-
customed TO accepting him with the
rising sun each day, and a purse was
made up 20 buy the Injuries that the
outcast never dreamed would surround
him on his last journey.

HONEST "ADS" WINNING
Postofiice Department Reports Decrease
in Frauds.

IRON 1Lr lrlbune Bureau
Washington. Dec. 26-Full credit for
the decrease in fraudulent advertising
which has been caused in the last few
years by the vigorous efforts Of certain
newspapers, including The Tribune,
many magazines and intelligent adver-
Using men, is claimed for the Wilson
administration in the report Of the
Solicitor OF the PostofFce Department,
made public tonight. The report points
out the growth Of the clean "ad" move
ment and comments on the reasons
which are making il effective. and says:
Another and very striking effect OF
the policy of this administration with
respect to fraudulent operations
through the mails is that the leading
organizations of advertising men and
newspaper proprietors throughout the
country have inaugurated and are now
actively carrying out plans TO clean
up" all false and fraudulent advertis-
ing. 1t is strongly urged by those be-
hind this movement that the public will
have more faith in advertising matter
generally and that il will patronize the
advertising columns to greater extent
when advertisements are uniformly
honest, and that the standing Of the
newspapers themselves will soon be
rated by the character Of the advertise
ments they carry.
Many newspapers and magazines
now make IL a rule to accept none but
absolutely clean and true advertise
ments. and some papers even 60 so far
as to guarantee the truth of the repre-
sentations contained in their advertise
ments and 20 offer 20 reimburse any
one defrauded by having placed reliance

Plans are we'll under way to have at

This years exposition will open O.

pete Tor $4,000 in prizes offered by the

The association expects to retain
