Disposal of Body Retarded

LONDON, Aug. (By The Associated
Press According to a Central News
dispatch from johannesburg, Union OF
South Africa, dated yesterday, shortly
after the death of the Marques Of
Queensberry, which was ascribed to
pneumonia, an affidavit was filed max
ing certain allegations against some of
the persons with whom the marques
was closely connected white in South
Africa. The affidavit is not regarded
seriously by the criminal investigation
department, but its existence retards
disposal of the body.
The ninth Marques of Queensberry
was born October 13, 1868, succeeding
to the title upon the death of his
father in 1900. He was formerly mid
shlpman in the British navy and later
was lieutenant in the Cd Battalion
of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers.
he was twice married and is survived
by two sons and one daughter The
now marques, Viscount Drumlanrig,
was born January II, 1896.
The late marques was brother of
Lord Sholto Douglas, who last May
obtained a divorce from the actress
Loretta Audis Mooney, of California,
IN London. Their marriage took place
at San Jose in 1895.

man learned during the war that
tin foil could be sold. So he gather
ed up from the streets and sidewalks
$12 worth of the stuff.
When his sister wrote to him ask
ing for assistance in purchasing an So
secondhand sewing machine he sent
her the tin foil with instructions to
sell it and buy the machine.
Bread and milk used to be the prln-
cipal diet of the old miser.
He never saw "movie" show, nor
as for that matter any other show.
He passed dozen moving picture
shows every day, but he never spent
cent on amusement of any kind
The Woman in the Case
There was a woman at the bottom
of his case. Seaman was born IN
Keokuk, Iowa. After the civil war
he came out to Council Bluffs and fell
in love with a girl He was said to
be a "high roller" in those days.
Flowers and candy and theatricals
and entertainments were nightly at
fairs.
He won the girl The day be-
wedding was at hand. The day be-
fore the ceremony was to have been
performed the girl suggested that
Seaman place his property in her
name in order to protect it If any
thing happened to him. The propo-
sal made him so angry that he broke
the engagement, left the house and
never returned.
That was nearly half century ago.
So far as known he had not spoken
to woman since that day.
He has lived to himself, buying
tax titles and acquiring property for
a fraction of its worth.
Mrs. Mary Seaman Hickman of AL
bia, Iowa, and A. E. Robinson, Web
ster City, Iowa, claim to be his cous-
ms. He has refused t. have anything
to do with them.
"They want my money! he told
the postman when returning their
letters unopened.
A little while ago small abrasion
appeared on Seaman's hand. The
doctor says it was probably the, bite
of a bedbug. 1t grew worse. Sea-
man did nothing for it. Finally the
place became so infamed that the old
man went to the dispensary. He was
ordered to go to a hospital, but re-
fused to go. Finally he went. 1t
was too late. Blood poison had set
in. He died the second day.
The doctor said his constitution
had been so undermined by under
nourishment that he could not with
stand the poison.
Don't get coffin, it's too expen-
sive," he told the hospital people.
Get a box"
But the hospital got casket.

GEORGIA TO WAGE
WAR ON MALARIA
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH rs AT
TEMPTING AN EXTENSIVE
ANTI-MALARIA CAMPAIGN.

That malaria must be dealt with IN
Georgia. as in practically every other
southern state, can not be questioned
The greatest handicap those who have
been endeavoring to combat this mai
adv have ever met with Is the antag-
onism manifested by the citizens OF the
infected communities They are fear
full of advertising their community as
being "sickly.'
So long as we deny the fact that we
have malaria in Georgia, just that long
shall we continue to have "chills and
fever and lose about one thousand
lives and thousands, even millions, OF
dollars each year.
If one is sick, he musst become aware
of it before he will call a physician.
One must realize the magnitude of has
sins before he will begin to pray earn
estly for forgiveness; likewise we must
get some idea as to what malaria is
costing us. and make final determln-
ed stand if we are to eliminate this NAL
ady and stop paying the high cost OF
malaria.
The State Board of Health is at
tempting one of the most extensive an
ti-malaria campaigns in Georgia this
wear that has ever been undertaken in
the south. The success of this campaign
depends almost entirely upon the
amount of interest manifested by the
citizens of the various infected com

FOOL HENS" MISTAKE
HOT CINDERS FOR CORN
Veterinary Hopes to Save Half of
Owners Flock

COOKPORT, r. Veterinary
J. A. fodder was called to the M. c..
Bevley hennery to treat fifty white
leghorn hens. When the doctor ar
rived an examination revealed that the
bills of the hens were badly burned
Mr.. Bevley said the hens first at
tracted his attention when they were
running around the yard with their
mouths open. He caught hen and
found her bill was burned and later
summoned the veterinary. Bevley
says he was at loss to understand
what burned the bills of his hens until
he saw a hen pick up glowing
cinder in the yard and quickly drop
it. He then solved the mystery.
The hen yard is located five yards
from the railroad tracks. A freight
locomotive standing near threw a
shower of red hot cinders into the
yard. AS fast as the sparks fell the
hens rushed for them and picked them
up. Bevley says the 'fool hens
thought the cinders were corn.
The veterinary believes he will be
able to save at least a half of the
hens.

UNCLE SAM MAY FAVOR
GUSHING THE OTTOMAN
Believed United States May Join
Effort To Accomplish Removal
OF Turk From Europe

Although america has not been at
war with Turkey and this country has
no part in the European negotiations
regarding the Near East, the United
States will make a strong effort to
have the Turk driven out of Europe.
The United States government feels
that the interests of international civ
ilization requires that Ottoman power
be driven forever from Constantinople.
This includes the expulsion of the
sultan from the Bosphorus.
1t is known at the state depart
ment that American cooperation in
the settlement of the Turkish prob
lem is desired and expected by Great
Britain and France, the two Euro
pean powers chiefly at interest.

saying that ratification had been re-

DIET KILLS
WEALTHY OLD. MISER
WORTH CLOSE TO 100000 HE
REFUSES TO CALL DOCTOR
WHEN BLOOD is POISONED

OMAHA, Neb.-A. J. Seaman,
Omaha miser worth $250,000 to $780,
600. is dead here, at the age of ~,
because he would not increase his
budget of expenditures of 10 cents
per day.
Before the war Mr.. Seaman man
aged to live very well on $1.O5 per
week. He refused to increase his eX-
penses when prices went upward and,
in order to remain within the limit
he set for himself many years ago,
he cut down on the amount of food
he consumed. AS a result, when his
hand became infected and he refused
to see a doctor because of the cost
his system could not withstand the
blood poison which set in and he died,
leaving no will.
For years Seaman was called 'the
apostle of cheap living" He went to
bed at dark to save light bill. He
saved coal by staying in bed on cold
days. He roomed at farm house
and got his room for so cents per
month because it had neither heat,
light nor water.
Some years ago when he wanted
to go to Denver on business, he
walked the entire 600 miles, carrying
two pairs of half soles for his shoes.
He borrowed a hammer and some
tacks along the way and made his
own repairs.
His Desk in Coat Tails
Seaman carried on a taX-title bust
ness and bought up hundreds of tax
titles at public sales. He carried his
papers in the tail pockets of his
Prince Albert coat, bought for 40
cents at a secondhand store seven or
eight years ago.
The old man beat the BARRIERS of
Omaha for thirty years by cutting his
own hair and never shaving.
He had a sister, Mrs. Harriet Wolf,
of Los Angeles, said to be in poor
circumstances. She will inherit his
money, in all probabilities. Mr.. Sea-
