Newport, R. l., June 13.-Two thou
sand apprentice seamen marched into
the business section of the city from
the naval training station to-day and
subscribed to 100000 in Liberty

their liveliest airs, the young sail
ors filed into three banks and piled
the counters with their bills. Warning
of the rush had been received and many
of the larger stores sent their forces
of cashiers to help out the bank clerks.
Tonight another group of thousand
apprentice seamen made their arrange
ments to march TO the banks tomorrow
TO buy $4,000 worth of bonds.

The lyrical assertion that they are
wearing 'em higher in Hawaii may be
Of no interest to the world in general,
apart from a few enthnologists and
travellers in far places. But, oh the
difference it is making in a hundred
hitherto happy homes in the Hillside
section of Jamaica, Queens!
That one little Hawaiian fashion
note is causing more marital heart
burnings and domestic unhappiness
than a million ukuleles could soothe
and at the bottom of the whole trouble
lies the smoker of the Hillside Civic
Association and Timothy Walsh, a
financial writer.
Mr.. Walsh was secretary Of the Hill
side Civic Association until the
organization held its smoker in q
Jamaica hotel on Tuesday night. He
left the party early, and the next morn
ing he left the association. In his
resignation he said several harsh

smoker. Wives of Hillside are still
quoting these to the husbands who at
tended the frolic.
Many Alibis at Work
Every albi that the combined mascu-
line brains of Hillside can devise is
working a twenty-four hour day now.
II is amazing, now that Mr.. Walsh has
branded the smoker as an indecent per-
Torrance, how many husbands started
for the entertainment and never got
there. They went 10 the club instead
They swooned in a ditch and never
came TO, until the party was over. They
got lost in the wilds of Jamaica and
never found the hotel. They tenderly
cared for sick friends while the sat
urnalia" was proceeding.
Some admit that they got 10 the
smoker, but all these add hastily that
they left early. There are few who
will confess that they remained after

Buy Bonds and Give
Kaiser Solar Plexus
Blow, Sunday Plea
Evangelist Writes Appeal for
Loan Committee. Exhorting
People to Subscribe

This is Billy Sundays appeal to the
people of America to purchase Liberty
bonds. 1t was written by the evange-
list at the request of the Liberty Bond
Committee:
No nation on earth has ever yet
trampled our flag in the mire of de-
feat. and we will not allow Germany
to do il now. We didn't enter this
war to get licked. we are in to win!
That's a cinch.
When J(kle Sam called for men
almost every one between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty-one walked up
and registered like the true Ameri-
cans they are. The contemplate,
sneaking, cowardly cur who did not
Justly deserves our scorn and con-
tempt.
We have the men. the muscle and
the grit. but with all these we can
not win if we hold back our money.
II costs a pile 20 equip and maintain
an army, and the government is
powerless unless we come to the
front with the dough.
We need millions Of people buying
bonds, not simply millionaires and
banks. We all share our country's
blessings. so we must all help bear
her burdens.
This is our one great opportunity
TO upset autocracy and set up lib
erty throughout the world. II you
cannot go fight, you must help sup
ply the money to send the other fell
low.
Don't be a money Stacker. II is up
to you to help rout the ridiculing,
sneering enemy, who still seems 10
think we are bluffing. that we are
lot of mollycoddles without the
punch. II is up to you 70 do your
individual part in helping the brave,
struggling Allies to bring the atroci-
ties, the outrages, the brutalities
and the inhumanities of this horrible
war to a speedy end.
In the name of God and humanity
wake up! Liberty is better than
slavery. Freedom is better than
Prussianism.
Buy Liberty bonds and help give
the Kaiser such a solar plexus blow
that his mustache will curl the other
way.
I would a million times rather buy
Liberty bonds from Uncle Sam than
pay indemnity to Germany.

Woman in 3 Poison
Cases Accused of
Killing Husband
First and Second Mates
Died from Arsenic, as
Did Her Niece
By BRIGGS

New Haven, June 13.-Mrs. Mary
Monahan was arrested here early this
morning, charged with slowly poison
ing her husband, John T. Monahan, By
giving him arsenic. The man died here
tonight. An autopsy will be performed
tomorrow.
John Pallman, Mrs. Monahan's first
husband, died in 1906. Her second,
Joseph Monahan, brother of her
third, died in 1909. A niece of the
woman died in 1913. She was arrest
ed then on a similar charge 10 that adj
vanced against her to-day and released
only after a prolonged tigation.
Police say that John 7. Monahan's
symptoms were similar to those which
characterized the last illnesses of his
wife's other husbands and her niece.
He was so weak at the time OF Mrs.
Monahan's arrest that he was unable
to make any statement.
Jennie McNamee was the name Of
the niece whose death caused her aunt'J
detention in Jail for nine months while
the case was investigated.
In 1912 the girl took out an insurance
policy. At that time she said that she
never had tuberculosis and that there
was no faint of the disease in her fam
lily. A little later Mrs. Monahan tried
to take out an additional policy upon
her niece's life, but was refused.
Miss McNamee at this time became
afflicted with a disease which her aunt
said was tuberculosis. Later she died
and Mrs. Monahan called in a negro
physician to testify to the cause of her
death.
The state held that the woman had
poisoned her niece by giving her small
doses of arsenic. The body of the girl
was exhumed and the contents of the
stomach were examined. Professor T..
P. Underhill, Of Yale, found crystals
of arsenic in her stomach.
IL was urged that bodies of Mrs.
Monahan's first two husbands be dug
up also, but this project was abandoned
after it was learned that arsenic had
been used in the embalming fluid The
woman remained indifferent through
out the whole investigation, and took
her release as a mater of course.

Soldiers Body Found
On Perkins, Estate
Mans Hand Clutched Army
Pistol, but His Hat Was
Made in London

The body of a man who the police,
believe was an army officer was found
yesterday lying beside a pond on the
estate of George W. Perkins. at River
dale. There was bullet wound above
the heart and one hand held United
States army automatic pistol.
George Stewart, of Riverdale, and
Michael Polcher, of Yonkers, discov-
cred the body and notified the police
Il was found that the man had torn
all labels from his clothing. The pistoi
bore the ~. S. A stamp and the mi
tials "V. A."
The mans clothes were tailor
made. One label which he had only
partly destroyed carried the date No
vember %, 1916" In his hat was the
label Of Herbery Johnson, 30 North
Bond Street, London West. His hands
were soft and well manicured.
Two bullet scars were found on his
knee, which led Captain Grant Will.
Jams. of the Bureau Of Unidentified
Dead 10 express the belief that he had
been a soldier.

Joseph A. Nebgen, president of the
association, was of harder timber. He
lasted until the fourth higher" and
then he, too, passed out.

Out of all the strong members of the
association only one could be found yes
terday who would confess TO a real
knowledge of the proper altitude Of an
Hawaiian national costume.
What's Walsh kicking about" this
crude person wanted 70 know. "He
knew he wasn't coming to any Sunday
school picnic. don't see what all this
rows about, anyway"
He walked away, whistling gayly. It
was a tune of which no other member
of the association can ever think now
without snkings OF the heart. The
crude person admitted that he was not
married.
committee has been formed to wait
upon Mr.. Walsh and beg him TO recon-
slider his resignation. He said last
night that he had not made up his mind
what action he would take. One thing
is certain. however. All the wives Of
Hillside will insist upon being present
at the next smoker OF the association.
