all of the Wood activities would in
the end but serve to call the atten-
tion of the country to the desirable
ity of nominating a military hero
for the presidency, and that what
ever influence the Wood campaign

ment would eventually result to the

advantage of Pershing.

"If the country really wants q

Firemen and Matrons Do Heroic Work

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.-Fire
early yesterday destroyed a twO-story

ing a loss estimated at 100000
Sixty-eight children, all girls, between
six and 10 years old, were asleep in the
building when the fire broke out, but
through the heroic work of nurses, ma
irons, and firemen all were gotten out
safely. Twenty-six of the children. two
matrons and one fireman were overcome
by smoke.
The blaze had gained great Roadway
before 1t was discovered.
Led by the matrOns. the children
CROPPED their way toward the fire c
and stairway but found their path
blocked by flames. When it appeared
as though all chance of getting out safe
~ had passed. two fremen appeared Mt
one of the windows. They entered the
smoke-illed room and. aided by the ma
irons, carried the children to windows.
where other firemen took them down lad
ders to safety. Fifteen of them were un-
conscious and were taken TO hospitals
where they were soon revived. The ma
irons were scOrched and suffered from
the effects of the smoke.

WIFE TESTIFIES

Identifies Husbands Neutrality-suspicious.
Witnesses Tell of Intimacy Of
Mudgett and Miss ShOniO.

HYDE PARK, Dec. 2O.-Apparently
handwriting that will tend to incriminate
Arthur Midget, on trial here for the
murder of Amy Shonio in Johnson last
August. the state Saturday afternoon
called Mrs. MIDGET to the stand. She
and Mudgett have been separated seven
years.
Mrs. Mudgett testified that she received
a letter from the respondent on May 4,
1920. The letter was introduced in court
but was not read and Mrs. Mudgett tes-
tilted that the handwriting was that of
Mudgett. She said she did not know
whose handwriting appeared on the en-
velope containing the letter she received.
While testlfying, Mrs. Mudgett APP
peared on the verge of tears. Her
answers to questions of Attorney General
Archibald were hardly audible in the
crowded court room. Her presence in con-
nection with the handwriting of the re-
~spondent has occasioned speculation as
to the purpose. As yet the state has in
troduced nothing purporting to be Mud
gett's handwriting.
Court adjourned after a three-hour ses-
sion to meet again at 2 o'clock this after
noon. The state Saturday introduced a
number of witnesses who testified as to
their acquaintance with the Shonio girl
and Mudgett. of the finding of the body
and of living conditions at the Foster
house where both roomed on the same
floor.
Fred f. Leslie. secondhand dealer OF
johnson, told of ~telephoning for Mudgett
on the evening of July 81 and said the
conversation was with a man who wanted
Mudgett TO do some work for him.
Selma LEM McLaren of East Fairfield
said she formerly worked at the Foster
house and knew Mudgett before he went
there to live. She told of seeing him
throw his arms around Amy and kiss

Mrs. Eta w. Miller of Johnson testi
fed that Mudgett on one occasion had
a bar of candy and urged her to wall
with him up the path back of her house
She did not go.
Mrs. Susan c. Nye of Johnson identi
fed a piece of blue bingham as like some
she had sold Amy Shonio three years be
fore. Miss Mary Nye, aged 1G, of John
son told of seeing Amy or the street the
night of July 81. Miss Emery of johnson
also saw her that night about 8 o'clock.

John I. WiIIers Admits He Stole Funds
from Military COmpany-Sent
Here Because lie stole.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-John l.. Viii
lers, former captain of the 4Sth infan-
try, now being tried by court martial at
Governors Island for desertion and the
theft of more than $4,000 of his com
pany's funds, yesterday after being de-
clared by u board of medical officers
mentally competent at the time OF the
alleged theft and desertion, took the wit
ness stand in his own defense.
WillerS testified hat he was born in
the province of Holstein, Germany, in
1891, and that from the age of 10 years
he had a tendency toward kleptomania.
When he was ii, he said, he ran away
from home, and as a result of his way
wardneSs his family sent him to the
United States in 1905.
Willers said he enlisted in the army
while stranded in Albany, n. Y. After
serving a part of his enlistment he pur-
chased his discharge in 1914. In 1916
he again joined the army.
Later he was sent to the Plattsburg
training camp, where he was commits
stoned a captain of infantry. Subse-
quently he was assigned to the 4Sth in
fantry and sent to Camp Sewer.
Willers testified that after the armis-
tice two Liberty bonds. belonging to the
men In his company, were entrusted to
his keeping. This proved too much of
a temptation, and the next day he with
drew other bonds and the company's
fund from the bank. He was in a weak
condition, he said, as the result of infu-
enza, and the desire to appropriate the
Liberty bonds and money proved toe
strong. He deserted.
1T was an uncomfortable impulse that
| was unable to resist" he said.
At the time of Willers's arrest the DO.
lice reported he made confession, stating
that he was detailed to the United States
IN 1917 by German military authorities
to act as IA spy in gathering data per
tanning to the organization of the Ameri
can army.

CURIOUS PROCEDURE.

Eminent Englishmen, Sir Robert Baden.

Grant Ramsey, president of the Institute OF
Hygiene, to issue individual licenses to men en-
titled to use alcoholic beverages. These cards,
revokable on misuse would, as is argued, put
drinkers on their honor and build up character
by imposing self-restraint. Perhaps the plan
would work; in any event the man who uses al
cohol in moderation is no enemy OF society TO
be restrained by law.
Prohibition is singular in that it attempts TO
reform the few who need it by putting out OF
existence the object of their desire Instead OF
making over the sinner, it would make over the

but should men who deal fairly be put out OF

an evil, but should temperate men be placed

a harmful and repulsive vice, but should people

He has always been a fighter OF

one has sacrificed his lifelong prin-

THE BEST CENSORSHIP OF ALL.

( Public opinion left to itself is the best censor
ship of plays movies and public morals. The
public without self advertisement Of it's virtues
and without fuss, discriminates constantly be-
tween the good and the bad and chooses the
good Is there a conscientious attendant at the
Itheater or movie house who will not agree to
this?
Take for example a suggestive and salacious
song that finds its way the stage, The per-
former uses this song in the fond hope that it
holsters up his act What happens? The audi
ence stands for the song politely, and gives 1t
and the singer the magnificent insult Of silence.

most unmistalzable kind has been brought to

What is the result of this censorship by pub
lic opinion? None other than that the majority
of songs and stories, plays and screen dramas
offered to the public are clean and decent. Self
appointed censorship brings howl of protest
from the public. as it should, but the uncon-
scious censorship Of silence goes inexorably on
and none is more keen to listen to it's decisions
than the manager.
