MRS. WOODS DIES
AT HER HOME here
Continued from PAGE One,)

- d q
she was woman fitted to assume
her pant in the life 10 which she was
called. Perhaps Tho dominant note of
her life was her beautiful devotion
to her home and family TO her hus-
band, her children and her church.
In this devotion she was the personi-
fcation of loyalty, of sacrifice and
of affection
In the circle which made up her
earthly world, and among those who
knew her best, she was a highly-re,
spected figure, held in esteem by all.
1t is seldom that one may say with
equal sureness, that she made a
deep impression upon all with whom
she came in contact during her many
years in this city Strong and uncom-
promising in her religions beliefs,
holding steadfastly to the higher
ideals of life. possessing many yir-
tues and qualities of splendid woman
illness, she was a figure which any
community could i'll afford to lose.
That she will be deeply missed is as
sure as that her works and words
will live long after she has been
consigned to that earth whence she
came.
Mrs. Woods is survived by, her We
nerable husband and four. children:
Rev. David J. Woods. pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Blacksburg.

$4,000 FIRE LOSS
AT co. BRICK PLANT

The brick plant at North Mountain
of tae Granite Clay Products Co. was
badly damaged by fire early this
morning and, as result the mon
employed there are temporarily out
of work. The blaze was discovered
shortly before 3 o'clock, but the eff
cient work of an inlpromptu bucket
brigade saved the more valuable por-
ton of the plant, particularly the
machinery from destruction. The roof
covering the kilns for some 200 yards
and the 3o-foot roof over the produc-
ers were burned and the gas pipes
leading to and feeding the kilns fell
down. Altogether, loss of about
$4,000 was entailed. The blaze was
seen for quite a distance. This
particular plant has been unlucky in
the past few years. Once before it
was seriously damaged by fire and on
two occasions heavy SHOWS crushed

men when the coal ukase went forth
and their supply cut down to the
lowest possible degree. After the
firm was able to secure requisite coal
1T was struggle then to get back
their men because of the scarcity of
=
labor. Up to the present time all OF
the kilns had been filled, the contents
properly burned and everything was
ready to draw and ship the product,
when along comes this blaze. The
plant was erected and operated for
quite while by the old Adamantine
Clay Products Co Business difficult
ties and controversies resulted In the
industry being sold and it is under
stood That the Kelley Island people
are now really back of the plant. Mr..

Nat Goodwin Has
Busy Day in Court

Life for Nat C. Goodwin, the actor,
these days is nothing but one court
proceeding after another, apparently.
For the last three days he has been
deep in a suit he has brought against
the Mirror Film Company for back sal
ary. Yesterday proved more or less
of d banner day in court for the actor.
Then, just as he was starting for home.
up stepped a process server and handed
him a summons in suit brought by
Klaw e. Erlanger to recover $5,S4S
which, it is alleged, the actor owes on
notes.
The court proceedings yesterday
were largely taken up by the testimony
of Lawrence Marston, formerly en-
ployed as a director by the Mirror COM
pany, who. besides telling the jury that
Mr.. Goodwin was the best actor in
America, explained at length why il
wasn't such terrible thing after all if
he was late when ordered to report to
the studio.
Part of the defence made to Mr.
Goodwin's suit was that he was incom-
petent. In the opinion of Mr.. Marston
however, that was utterly impossible.
There is no way Mr. Goodwin could
do his work improperly" Mr.. Marston
testified. "He played like Nat Good
win, and what more is to be said?"
There's more to come to-day.

After the official reception the truck
proceeded to the general postotfice

consignment of chickens to the McNitf

consignments to various concerns
along Greenwich Street, ending up at

tertainment OF the club after the din
ner, makes Lancaster suburb OF

stutfs in this nation, which should
bring immeasurable benefit TO the ulti-
mate consumer"
1t reduced the number of operations
involved in transporting an egg from
chicken to Harlem fat breakfast table,
he showed, from fourteen to six. with
corresponding decrease in handling
and overhead costs. Mr. Blakslee also
traced in detail the economy of the op-
GRAFTON of such a government distrib-
uting system. and predicted that. if it
attains to the extent that the post
office department anticipates, the gov
ernment demand for motor trucks will
be greater than all the manufacturing
companies of the nation can supply
The total postage on the coDsign-
ments that arrived in New York yes
terday was S31.6l, with a war tax OF
Sl.56. The trip, of $50 miles. was the
longest Of the sort ever attempted by

Chicago Opera Deficit
Will Exceed $4,000, Despite
Unusually Good Runs

CHICAGO, March 0.-Notwiths stand
ing the great success of the Chicago
Grand Opera Company in New York
and Boston, and what was considered
an exceptionally good run here, the
hackers OF the enterprise must dig
deeply to meet a deficit that is the
greatest in the history of the organi
zation. 1t will exceed $4,000, probably
a large sum in excess of this figure,
but the guarantors are good sports and
will not whimper.
Under the terms of the guarantee
fund Harold F. Mccormick meets the
deficit after it passes the $4,000 mark
1t has already passed $4,000 and the

Riveting Gangs
Graduated Weekly

The skilled men who We're sent to
the teachers training schoo! conducted
by the Shipping Board at Newport
News have come back first class IN
structors, and are able in & remarkably
short time to show their pupils how
to do their work. These men are
graduating" riveting gangs, for eX-
ample, at the rate of eleven or twelve
gangs d week, and as each gang, after
a little experience, can be diluted with
green men, thus turning it into two
or three gangs, it seems certain that
the Submarine will have its 500 rlvet-
ing crews as rapidly as needed, with.
out drawing on the existing supply OF
labor skilled in this kind Of work.
Men who have been making bridges
and tanks find no lnsuperable difficulty
in learning quickly how to build ships
in so far as they are called upon under
this system of minute division of labor.
My prediction is that gentlemen who
are on record as scofiing at the fabri-
Gated ship will ere long wish to have
the minutes expunged," as they say,
speaking parliamentarily.

Your Uncle Samuel, eXasperated by
delayed freight shipments and failure
of express companies to deliver con-
signments of perishable foods before
they reach the willing stage, stepped in
yesterday and convinced New Workers
that they may have fresh food, even if
he has to deliver it himself
For the first time IN the history Of
the local postotFice department the gov
erament mail service yesterday deliv-
cred in New York live chickens. eggs
and honey which but ten hours before
had been in the hands of farmers of
Lancaster County. Penn.
mail motor truck delivered the CON
signment to four concerns and proved
the system OF direct parcel post deliv-
cry for food so feasible that it is not
unlikely that it will be instituted this
spring and summer for the distribution
of truck garden products.
With S. B. Mcneil. of Oxford, Penn.
a postal service chauffeur, at the wheel,
the truck left Lancaster yesterday
morning at 4:15. Just ten hours and
two minutes later it made its first de-
livery in New York. Among the con-
signmeuts were 400 day-old chickens, q
crate of full-grown chickens, fifty
crates of eggs, each holding thirty
dozen, and six pounds OF honey. The
farmers near Lancaster, Oxford Hol-
land and Ephrata, Penn, contributed tc
the shipment.
Lancaster is 180 miles from New
York, and the running time was con
sidered remarkable by postal officials
Harry Moore, OF Ardmore, Penn, rep
resenting the manufacturers of the
truck which carried the shipment, sale
that the entire cost of the trip would
not exceed $40 and the wages Of the
driver. However, the speed of the de
livery was the most important accom-
plishment.
1t is almost certainty that line oi
trucks Will be established over the
route travelled yesterday. Lancaster
has been making such deliveries tc
Baltimore with great success.
The truck viii make a return trip to
day laden with parcel post packages fol
Philadelphia and Lancaster. On its side
it bears a huge sign reading:

Miss Amelia Bingham to
Appear in New Play

Amelia Bingham, who has not ap-
peared on Broadway in several years,
has been engaged by William Moore
Patch to appear in the leading feminine
role of his production of the new spy
melodrama, THE Man Who Stayed at
Home" which will be presented at the
Forty eighth Street Theatre beginning
Monday, April /, THE Man Who
Stayed at Home" is described as a new
version of the celebrated English spy
melodrama, "The White Feather"
which was produced on Broadway three
years ago. Although success in Lon
don, the play then failed to interest
New Workers because it was three
years ahead OF the times. Under the
new title Mr.. Patch has presented this
drama in other cities with considerable
success, notably in Pittsburgh. where it
played for fourteen weeks; in Boston,
where it ran thirty,two weeks, and in
Chicago, where it is now concluding a
run of eighteen weeks

Con1proniseCandid
Board Of Education Said To
Be in F Favor of Elect
ing Him

Having run through the entire list
of associate superintcndents, naming
each in turn the successor of Dr. Max
we'll as head of the city schools, rumor
yesterday transferred its attentions to
the board of examiners Of the Depart
ment of Education, and selected Jerome
O'Cornel, chairman of that body, AS
the prospective appointee. Every off,.
cial in the Education Building. at Fifty
ninth Street and Park Avenue, heard
at some time during the day that Mr..
O'Connell, who has been connected with
the public schools all his life, was GER
tain OF election as City Superintendent.
lie is the compromise Candidate, &C
cording to the report, although Dr. John
II. Finley, State Commissioner Of Edu-
cation, is still being urged strongly for
the place by many friends OF the school
system, in spite of the fact that he
is in no sense q seeker Of the position.
DR.. William l.. Ettlnger. the assc-
ciate superintendent, who has been
mentioned most frequently since Mayor
Hylan's declaration for "home talent
only" apparently shut the door on DIR.
Finley, whom the Mayor first favored.
has failed, it was asserted, to overcome
the opposition to him within the Board
OF Education. He had three of the
seven votes in the board, so it was
stated, and had tentative pledge of a
fourth, but threats of sgnations de-
stroyed his paper majority, leaving a
deadlock. which is said to have been
broken only by the proposal Of naming
Mr.. O'Connell
The new candidate is ffty-two years
old. He was for time & student III
the College of the City of New York,
but never completed his course. Short
ly afterward he became grammar
school teacher, and later was promoted
20 the grade Of evening school princi-
pal. In this rank he served only q
short time before his appointment, in
1898, to the board Of examiners. When
DR.. Hunter retired as head of Hunter
College. Mr.. O'Connell, though he held
no college degree. was proposed as his
successor, and came near winning the
place.
