ARM THAT SAVED
RE|LLY'S LIFE ALSO
CAUSES HIS DEATH
Gets Into Wrong House,
Breaks Glass Panel and Is
Shot as Burglar.

IT was the right arm Of Michael
Reilly that saved his life six weeks
ago, and il vas that same right arm
that caused his death late last night.
when he was mistaken for a burglar
and shot dead.
Reilly. who lived at 40. 81 Ninth
Avenue. was an employee Of the City
Department Of Docks and Ferries. and
he worked at the coal pockets on
Staten Island. The story OF his dra-
matte escape from death in such a
pocket last January was told II do
tail by The Evening World. Buried
under 200 tons Of frozen coal. Reilly
kept his right hand straight over his
head, and 1t guided the rcscuers who
worked more than Ave hours to re-
lease him.
Last night Reilly accidentally en-
tered the wrong house, accidentally
thrust his right arm through n glass
panel In n door hat he thought was
his own, and received a bullet in
the head. Joseph Bcnvcnuto. No. 95
Smith Avenue, is held on a charge OF
homicide.
II is believed Reilly was confused
by the similarity OF the two buildings
when ne entered No. 95. lie went to
the second moor and stopped at a door
corresponding TO that Of the apart
ment in which he lived at No. 81. Ills
efforts TO open the door resulted In
the breaking OF the glass panel that
forms the upper half.
The crash OF glass awoke Benvc-
nuto, who was asleep inside with his
wife and baby. Believing the figure
he saw silhouetted against the han
light in the broken panel was that Of
a burglar, police say Benvenuto drew
his revolver from under his pillow
and fired. The bullet entered Reilly's
head through the right temple. killing
him instantly.
At Police Headquarters Benvenuto
Is said to have told the officers he
always slept with a revolver under
his pillow. although he had no permit

SETTLE A DEED DATE
Employe of Firm That Printed Blank
Was Important Witness.

dispute over the date when a
deed for the valuable property at 1928
Kansas avenue was made out was set
tied today in Judge Whitcomb's divi-
sion of the district court when an EN- :
ploye of the Hall Lithogra phing Co.
took the stand and testified that the
blank form on which the deed had
been written had been printed in May.
1914. The testimony was offered in a
suit for the property brought by Mrs.
Rose Harris against her mother. Mrs.
Sarah G. KEEL.
Mention of sensational divorce and
alienation of affection suits in which
Mrs. Harris figured several years ago
was made during the trial. Mrs Har-
riS told the court she merely trans
ferred the property to her mother at
the time Mrs. Frank Hardesty threat
ened to bring an alienation of affec-
ton suit against her. Frank Hardesty,
who figured in the suit. is the son of
wealthy Usage county farmer.
The mother. Mrs. KEEL, claimed she
received the deed in return for val
liable consideration. She claimed she
entered into the deal in 1913 but the
deed was not recorded until 1915.
Mrs. Harris claimed the deed was not
transferred until 1915.
On the deed appear the name of the
Hall Lithographing Co. and the fig
ures STA. An employe of the company
was called and he testified that those
figures were placed there to indicate
that the form was printed on the fifth
month of 1914. After this bit of testi
mony attorneys for Mrs. KEEL asked
for two weeks continuance.

church Sunday at IL o'clock Imme-
diately after the afternoon, band con-
cert a platform meeting will be held
and DIR. Dean will deliver an address
on The Kaiser and Martin Luther's
Bible. At Sis p. m MISS stockton
will speak to- the young people and
The Crowd at the Cross" will be the
theme of DIR. Deans sermon at the
100 service ALI day the singing will
be led by the large chorus choir I'M
der direction of Professor Hausmann.
Friday night was Patriotic Night"
at the evangelistic services at the
church, and it was, indeed, an enthu-
siastic gathering. The veterans of the
Civil war were the guests of honor
along with the mothers and fathers
who have sons in the training camps
or on the firing line, or daughters en-
listed in the service of the Red Cross
Mr. Hausmann inspired the audience
as he sang, The Old Flag Never
Touched the Ground Doctor Deans
address on The Keynote of Ameri-
can History" was one which thrilled
with patriotism and eloquence thru
out.
Doctor Dean reminded his audience
that there were three reasons why
fri. "One was the patriotism of
Washington and the American SOL
diers: the second was the generous
help of France, and the third was the
secret sympathy of the commanding
officers of the main British army
with the American cause" he said
Lord Howe was a Wing in politics,
as was his brother. the admiral. Their
friends in England were also sympa-
thet-c with the colonial cause. When
ever General Howe was compelled to
act by his government, he took the
fled. He would then lapse into in
difference and fail to press his van
tage.
"A great section of English opin-
ion has always been pro-American.
Washington, in designing the Ameri-
can flag said, The red stripes will re-
mind us of the mother country from
which we sprang. In the Spanish
American and Philippine wars the
English sympathy with America was
very marked, and equally so the hos
tllity-of the German government"

Made Her Subject to Gossip.
1t was alleged that as a result of
the display the woman became the
subject of common gossip among her
friends and acquaintance. She
brought suit for damages, but the
Wyandotte county district court sus-
tanned a demurrer and threw tine case
out of court.
In deciding the case the trial court
held that the woman failed to intro
duce evidence as to specific DANA ges.
Some of the plaintiffs friends even
stated on cross examination that the
picture display did not lessen their
esteem for the woman. But the SUI
preme court held that such admissions
were mere admissions of friendship
and did not remove the woman'S right
to recover. The state supreme court
quoted extensively from opinions as to
right of privacy.
Right of Privacy Sacred.
THE right of privacy" the court
held, has its foundation in the in
stincts of nature. Each individual as
instinctively resents any encroachment
by the public upon his rights which
are of private nature as he does the
withdrawal of those rights which are
of public nature. . If ones pic
ture may be used by another for ad-
vertiSlng purposes, it may be repro
duced and exhibited anywhere 1t

be used on poster or a placard. 1t

MODS MUST STOP
Citizen Violence Against Pro-
Germans FrOwned Upon.
President Will Urge Laws To
Punish DislOyalty.

Washington, April 6.-Mob violence
must be ended. This edict was issued
from the White House late Friday at
the conclusion of the cabinet To
make it effective the administration
will urge the immediate enactment
of the pending legislation which
would empower the federal govern
ment to deal severely with the several
forms of disloyalty.
President Wilson is said to regard
the growing tendency of communities
to make and execute their own laws
to suit the suspicious of the hour as
representing a serious menace to the
country. The cause is attributed to
existing laws without teeth" and un-
der which the department of justice
has been unable to get convictions in
the courts.
Lynching Stirred President.
The circumstances surrounding the
lynching at Collinsville, ILL.,, of Robert
p. Praeger, an alleged pro-German,
brought the issue to a head. The in
cident is declared to be a character
istic example of a disposition by the
American people to settle problems in
their own way when the laws are in
adequate.
The seriousness with which the sub
ject was presented at the cabinet
meeting is said to have emphasized
the determination of the president to
minimize disorders growing out of ex-
aggerated patriotic impulses such as
have developed in various districts
recently.
In this connection congress may be
asked to enact a statute, in addition
to the proposed amendments to the
espionage act, making amenable to
the federal government as well as to
the state. all persons who participate
in mob violence
