GUARDING PUBLIC SAFETY

Main street is badly congested these
days during the preliminary work, and
as the pipe line is being removed it
is necessary for cars to park on
either side of very narrow space,
leaving but little for passing vehicles.
1t occurs to us that several things
might be done to make traffic more
safe. particularly in slower driving
Many persons dash up and down this
narrow avenue at rapid rates of speed,
endangering the lives of pedestrians.
Only yesterday afternoon a boy was
struck and knocked down, and this
driver was not moving rapidly or the
boy would not have escaped with a
bruised knee as he did.
Another wise precaution would be
to rope off Main street from Second
to Fifth. Sooner or later this will
have to be done when the actual paw
ing begins, so we might as well get
used to it now and help make Main

THE TRIBUTE PAID BY
DAWES TO SON

On September 6, 1928, Rufus Fearing
Dawes, the only son of Charles G..
Dawes, was accidentally drowned at
Lake Geneva, a summer resort, fifty
miles northwest of Chicago He was
81 years old and had just been gradu-
ated from Princetown. At the funeral,
in place of the usual eulogy, General
Dawes, at that time President of the
Central Trust Company of Chicago, be-
gan to read from typewriter paper
which he had sat up through the night
to complete. He broke down. 1t was
finished by the Rev. W. T. McElyeen.
In it, besides the strong love of a
father for his son, was reflected an
insight into the character of Charles
G.. Dawes as different from the He'll
and Maria conception as is the picture
by Whistler of his mother. Here it is:
"The most of us here assembled are
the personal friends and acquaintance
of my dear son. So far as the outer
world is concerned his promising life
cut off so early must ever be envelop-
ed in obscurity. But I, his father. owe
him one last and solemn duty-to pro-
ject the high lesson of his life, as far
as lies in my power by using this last
assemblage of his friends when their
minds and grieving hearts will the
more indelibly receive the impression
of his memory.
"Rufus's business career covered his
Ia ct fO,Ir c,,r,n,ar Vacations dad;ro+ad
by him to preparation for
his life's work. Personally fond of
sports and of social recreation to
which the balance of the college year
entitled him, he gave
them up and spent in the comparative
solitude of small engineering corps
in Western South Dakota his summer
vacation of four years ago. Here he
lived uncomplainingly a life of ter
rible hardship, without my knowledge,
until it was over. Every man in the
corps went down with malignant
typhoid fever. Rufus was the last man
up and for days, while suffering with
the fever himself, took charge of and
ministered to the balance of the camp,
finally succeeding in moving them to a
place of comparative comfort He then
collapsed, only to pull himself togeth-
er again, and, alone and sorely strick-
en-, he set out on the long journey
home. 1t is hard to speak of the suf-
ferings of the fifty-mile trip to the
railroad station, of his long wait there;
of the terrible railroad trip home when
he was unable to sleep or eat, and of
his final arrival which was our first
knowledge Of his trouble. For weeks,
without word of complaint. he fought
the fight of life or death, and then,
when convalescence came, it was only
to usher in a relapse for long and
severe second attack.
How He Spent His Savings
"Gaunt and haggard. yet happy and
cheerful, he finally left the sickroom.
He had saved out of his compensation
for surveying work the sum of $50. OF
his own initiative and without sugges,

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.--A federal

William j. Fahy, former "pet" Uni

guilty on five charges Of rob5ing

mail robbery last June.
Government attorneys made their
most vigorous attack on Fahy.
''Fahy has gone a step further
than the ordinary grating public
official" John Elliott Byrne, gov
eminent prosecutor. told the jury.
"The evidence shows that he plotted
and planned with other men to COM

prevent, the very crime he vas

testified for the prosecution. The
confessed robbers were termed
thieves and murderers' and the jury

Colonel John V. Clinin, Ne

government had not connected him
with the robbery at all. 1t was

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Nov. Is.
-(By Associated Press. 1.-The
body of Mrs. c. v. Sheatsley,
who was burned to death in the
furnace of her home here recent
ly, was exhumed for an examin-
alton.
This step was taken after a
conference was held late last
night between county authorities
and Edwin Abbott, undertaken,
who removed Mrs. Sheatsley's
remains from the furnace.
At the investigation held
here between county authorities
and Edwin Abbott, undertaken.
over the remains of Mrs. Sheats-
ley it was stated by Abbott in
answer to a question by Prose-
cutor King. that a portion of
Mrs. Sheatsley's skull was brok-
en-, but that the break might
have been caused by the intense
heat of the furnace, rather than
by a blow on the head while the
deceased was living.

HOUSE CAREFULLY
SEARCHED

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. rs
Evidence tending to show that Mrs.
Addie Sheatsley, who was found
practically cremated in the fur
mace of the Christ Evangelistic Lu-
theran church parsonage in Bex-
ley, a week ego, was murdered. was
unearthed yesterday in minute
search of Tie house by investigat
ing officials. according to a state
ment by C I.nty Prosecutor John R.
King.
Dark stains which may be spots
of human blood, found on a table
covering stuffed away in an up
stairs closet, on a pair of blue trouY-
ers, on a floor rug, on the asbestos
covering of the heat conduit direct
W above the furnace door and in
other places, Prosecutor King said,
proves to him, with other evidence
he has, that Mrs. Sheatsley was a
victim of murder and that her
body was cast into the furnace in
an effort to hide all trace of the
crime.
The only other possible theory
which Prosecutor King has in mind
is that she might have committed
suicide and her body been placed
in the furnace by some person who
did not want it to become known
that she had taken her life, he said
last night.
