IS old MAN Sane IF He
SEEKS A YOUNG BRIDE?

PITTSBURGH. Nov. '27.-The fact
that an old man wants to marry a
young woman is no reason why he
should be judged incapable Of manag-
ing his own affairs. This statement
was made yesterday by counsel for
Henry Deniston. the wealthy recluse,
who, although he has amassed a for
tune of S1,5O0,000, has been living for
years in a three room shack with his
companion Charlie" a pastrymaker.
Such an intention, the lawyer declar-
ed. Is rather an indication that his
faculties are keen and that he knows
what he is doing.
Arguments were heard yesterday by
Judge J. ]. Miller, of the Orphans
Court, in the Common Pleas Court on
the petition filed by two or Deniston's
relatives 10 have a guardian appoint
ed for him "to prevent his estate
/ from being dissipated and to protect
him from designing persons" A
hearing was held on the petition two
weeks ago. during which IL was es
tablished that the wealthy hermit wa'
contemplating marriage. the intended
bride being a cashier at the Monon
gahela Hotel, 40 years his junior.
Willis r. McCook, for the plaintiff
said: There arc two periods in mans
life I'm which he requires assistance
in his childhood days and in old age
The law protects the child and throws
protecting hand over Il until the
age of 81 Is reached Old age is only
young age. Is this man able TO look
after his affairs? Is he so enfeebled
that he Is unable to do that7 Your
Honor heard from the witnesses that
were called the kind OF a life he has
lived. He has been n recluse, he has
not mingled with his fellow man. he
banished them from his own narrow
life. His mind lacks the development
that we derive from our associations
with others be they good or bad.
There is one phase of this case
upon which I do not wish to touch.
Your Honor has heard OF the impulse
OF old men for young women. That is
all I wish to say upon this subject"
Attorney Freeman, counsel for Mr..
Deniston addressed the court in be-
half of the respondent. He said
Every witness for Mr.. Deniston
testified that he never did one single
act nor said one single word that
would indicate that he was weak
minded or unable to take care of his
own affairs.
Because an old man wants 10
marry young woman is no reason
why he should be judged incapable
Of looking after his affairs. II is
! rather an indication that his faculties
are keen and that he knows what he
/ is doing"
The Judge took the papers and an
nounced that he would make a deci-
sion at an early date.

AZ this time-i.3 i.35-the stands were

COUNTY BUTCRERINC
NOW At IT'S HEIGHT

Country butchering which has been
i'm prograss in New Castle county for
several weeks reached its height yes
terday. Traditionally. Thanksgiving
Day rs hutchering day on a number OF
farms, while on others a more practi-
cal reason is that members Of the
family employed in the industrial es-
Establishments OF some neighboring bor-
ough are at home on account OF the
holiday and can assist.
The late fall this year has been an
influence which delayed butchering on
many farms where cold weather was
being awaited. An influence In the
other direction. however. has been the
prevalence OF hog cholera in some
parts OF the county. Fear Of this dis
ease carrying of their fattened pork
ers has led many farmers to hasten
butchering.
During the past few weeks. evil
dences that this season is at hand
have been found in the numerous Of
ferings OF fresh meats on the stands
Of farmers In the city markets The
larger portion Of the products of the
butcherings are. however, worked
up" In various forms and preserved
for use until the next butchering sea-
son comes around.
Butchering Is a slde-line I'm which
many New Castle countians engage
proiitably as a profession at this sea
son. The average country butcher com
mands so cents apiece for killing and
working up porker OF medium size.
He earns his money, for unless he has
plenty of assistance he can scarcely
dispose of more than two hogs a day.
For slaughtering and dressing a beef
the price is usually 81.

BELIEVE Wilson Will
MAKE Peace move.
Foreign Women Are En-
couraged After Interview
With the President
NO INTEREST IN
THE FORD PLAN
BY the United Press.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-wn
President Wilson act? This question
was pppermost today in the minds of
the women peace advocates. Mrs.
Philip Snowden. wife OF British par.
lament member and Nine. Rosika
Schwimmer. of Hungary. who yester-
day pleaded with the President to call
or send a United States delegate to a
European peace conference of neu-
trails. say they believe he will meet
their wishes.
81 think think-he will act,' said
Mrs. Schwimmer This expression
followed careful choice of her words.
She added: my impression is that the
attention afforded us by the President,
his pointed questioning along certain
hnes-and other things may be re-
garded as indicative that he will do
something at this time.
"He thanks US very kindly and said
he was deeply interested. particular
~ in certain new things which we
laid before him and upon which he ad-
mitted he had not previously been in
formed"
Nine. Schwimmer was asked
whether she desired to have the
President name a delegate to accom-
pany Henry Fords party on the
"peace ship"
"Oh, no; we are not asking any
thing like that We are working on
something bigger than this ship"
Mrs. Snowden interposed.
The women declare IL is not neces-
sary for the President to take the
initiative in the peace congress. They
would be satisfied and encouraged,
they said. II he would officially
recognize and approve the plan to
get Europe's fighting forces out OF
the trenches by Christmas. They
cherish hopes. however. that the
President will so even further and
sound ont other neutral nations.

I'D PROBE SHOOTING
 OF THOMAS ON TRAIN
Boy, Before Dying, Claimed He Was Shot by One of
 Crew Near Irondale

The body of Gable Thomas, the IT, year-old boy, who, it Is alleged, was shot and killed by member of the crew of an Alabama Great Southern freight train last Friday night, was brought to Birmingham yesterday from Attalla, where he died Sunday City Physician Charles Whelan held an au-
 topsy on the body last night and found
 one bullet wound in the abdomen of
 the deceased.
 According to witnesses who were at
 the boys bedside in Attalla when he
 died Thomas declared that one of the
 crew shot him in Irondale imme mediate-
 ly after he had boarded the freight
 train. It was the intention of the
 youth to go to Chattanooga and from
 thence to Gainesville. Ga, his home
 The youth declared that the man who
 shot him had a lantern in his hand
 It Is said that he was able to give a
 fairly accurate description of his as sailant before dying. AS the man with
 the lantern in his hand approached tho boy, who was in a freight car, Thomas
 claimed he begged the man not to
 shoot and fell upon his knees in an effort to keep the man from killing him. His efforts were in vain, ac-
 cording to the statement of the boy. and the man shot at him three times. Only one bullet wound was found in
 the body by Dr. Whelan.
 After the boy had been shot the man who did the shooting waited until At talla was reached before putting him of the train. Coroner Spain made the | following statement to an Age Herald reporter last night:
 According to what information have at hand, the boy boarded Ala bama Great Southern freight train No. 6s about o'clock last Friday night at Irondale Shortly after he had climbed | in one of the box cars, a man with a lantern came along and shot him with | out any warning. After he had been | shot and mortally wounded he was car 1 ried Into Attalla and put off the train. | At a local infirmary there he made the | above statement to the hospital au- | thorities. The train on which Gilbert | was shot was In charge of Conductor James McCooms. I shall hold an in- quest into the murder this morning at | S o'clock and intend to probe to the very bottom in order to pin the crime | on the proper person"
 l The remains of the deceased are be- | ing held by Johns.

CROW |S OVERRULED. BY JUDGE FERGUSON; MOTHER GETS CHILD.
Second Habeas Corpus Pro- ceedings as Result of Legal Fight Over
 2-Year-Old Boy

By an order Issued by Judge Charles W. Ferguson of the city court Henry Elm melt Etter, Jr., the 2-year-old baby who parents who are separated was given Into the custody of his mother, Mrs. Ola D. Etter, at the conclusion of a habeas corpus hearing held yesterday afternoon It will be recalled that last Saturday a habeas corpus hearing was set before Judge D. c. Crow of the circuit court, in which the childs father. Henry Emmett Etter. sought possession of the boy, who was then In the custody of his mother.
 W T. Stewart. attorney for Mrs. Etter, contended for a continuance of the hear Ing owing to absent witnesses. After a legal discussion Judge Crow granted the continuance until Wednesday and pending the hearing placed the child in the custody for the hearing. Mrs. Etter and her moth- CT. Mrs. Salle Gum, held on to the child despite the courts order and quite a scene was enacted before tho boy was taken from them.
 Yesterday Attorney Stewart secured a writ of hsbeas corpus and had the child again brought into court, and at the hearing of the cause 1t was shown to tho court that Judge Crow had made no order on the habeas corpus docket regarding the custody of the child. It was also con tended that Judge Crow heard no evil dence in the case and the child was taken from its mother merely on his verbal order.
 Mrs Etter testified that the child need- ed her care and attention and stated that 1t was not thoroughly weaned. Judge Ferguson In making the order, stated that he had no intention of approaching any order of Judge Crow but from the evidence before him there was no legal order as the docket failed to show any thing about the case at all. He further stated that under the evidence he was strongly of the opinion that the child-s place was with it's mother. He held, how ever that she would be compelled 10 ap- pear in the circuit court on Wednesday with the child when the hearing on the | original habeas corpus proceedings wei | be had before Judge Crow and placed her under a 5000 bond for It's appear ance.
 Divorce proceedings are pending between MT. and Mrs Etter in the circuit court.
