An Urgent Appeal

The Times several days ago asked
for help for an aged colored woman,
who has been i'll six months, and got
a small response. This poor old wo-
man needs wood and coal, warm night
gowns, wool stockings, sheets, pillow
cases and something to eat. Friends,
she is old and worn out and her days
are numbered and we ask you to help
make her last days on earth pleasant
and happy. She has served many
white people in this town in the years
gone by and was faithful and true,
and now it is our turn to show our
appreciation.
If you will help please send the con-
tributions to Mrs. George T. Keller,
South street, or leave at The Times
office. Help today for tomorrow may
be too late.

Sea Air Rotting Iron Bridge

Toxic, Oct. 25.-The famous iron
bridge on the San-in Railway at
Amurube on the sea Of Japan, one Of
the highest and longest in the world,
ir rotting although completed only
ten years ago. The action Of the sea
air is given as the cause but critics
blame the railway authorities for
having failed to regularly apply \
coat Of paint. The cost Of the bridge,
1919 feet long and 127 feet high,
when labor and material were cheap,
was given as $4,000 yen. It is now
estimated that 1t will cost 100000
yen to repair It.

WOMAN'S BODY
FOUND in WOODS

Cleveland, Oct. 25.-The body of
Mrs. Henry j. Burns. 35, of this city,
partially clothed, was unearthed from
a newly dug grave, covered with
dead leaves, in a lonely woods five
and one-half miles northwest of
Painesville late today.
Discovery of the grave was made
by two Cleveland dentists, DR.. D. C.
Connell and DR.. w r. Beattie, who
were chestnutting in the woods, when
they came across hat with splotches
of blood on it. They notified deputy
sheriffs at Paineseville who dug up
the body.
Identification was made by Mrs.
Burns husband here after he had
seen necklace, wrist watch and keys
found on the body Of the murdered
woman. "Why they belong to my
wife," he told officers. He was then
told of the murder.
Shortly after the two dentists had
discovered the bloody clothing they
saw man with basket hurrying
through the woods. They called to
him, police said, but he refused to
stop. The two men, however, ran to
the road past the woods and saw tho
license number of the machine in
which he drove away. Detectives
here were at once given this and trac-
ing it to the west side of the city took
the driver to police headquarters for
questioning. He declared he had been
chestnutting all day, police said, and
denied any knowledge of the murder.
He said It was the first he had heard
of it.
Examination Of the body showed
that Mrs. Burns had been sho.
through the left eye. The back of
her head was crushed, while her face
was marred by long scars and
scratches. No other wounds were on
the body. Her wrist watch had stop
ped at three minutes past IL and
deputy sheriffs said that was the time
when the murder was committed.
They are of the opinion that the mur-
derer left the victim in the woods last
night and completed the burial this
morning.

HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
FOR DEMOCRATS

Washington, Oct. 25.-Availablc
members of the Democratic national
committee with Chairman Cordell
Hull and Harrison Nesbit of Pitts
burgh, chairman of the finance com
mittee, met tonight in local head
quarters and, after a canvass of the
situation, announcer satisfaction with
the prospects. 80 With the foregoing,
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
chairman fthe senatorial campaign
committee, and Representative Nc
Clintick of Oklahoma, chairman of
the campaign committee of the house
consulted. Senator Pat Harrison,
who has completed speaking tour
in Oklahoma and Kansas and is now
en- route to New Jersey and Connect
cut, attended and reported on condi.
tions in the sections he had visited.
1t was announced following the
meeting that Democrats would great
ly reduce the Republican majority In
the house and may win in house, that
Democrats would hold their own in
races for the senate with the indica-
tions favorable for gain of one or
two i nthe East. The leaders declar-
ed, however, a woeful handicap in
lack of money and expressed convic-
tion that if they were able even to
send all available speakers into
doubtful districts and meet their re-
quirement for advertisement they
would certainly win the house.
1t is learned that when the national
committee renders some time this
week its preliminary statement to
the house of collections and disburse-
ments, it will be shown that contribu-
tions to both campaign committees
an the national committee have
totalled not more than 100000. The
Republican national committee will
expend $5O0.OOOO.
More significant than the actual
shortage of money are the desertions
Of liberal contributors who have kept
the wheels moving in past campaigns
The receipts thus far have come al,
most entirely from the little fellows
who can always be counted on for
donations of 81 to 500.
Bernard Baruch is said to have
been one of the few generous regu.
lars of the past who have displayea
the same spirit Of liberality this time.
Harrison Nesbit of Pittsburgh, chair.
man of the finance committee, also
has roGaaed up some fairly good coz
tributions among his friends in that
city. Besides these donations
sprinkling of checks for $500 to ST.
600 have been received from Demo
Gratis, who formerly held high posts
in the government departments or in
the diplomatic service.
Former President Wilson has sent
IT. contribution, but not more than
half of the members of his cabinet
have responded to the party's appeal
for cash. Many of the other cele-
brated names that adorned the Will
son campaigns likewise are conspicu
ously missing this year.
