FLAGP0LE SI7TERS
Behind THE times
Simeon, a Monk, Did This Gen.
turtles Ago

Chicago, July 80. R-Even the
history of flagpole sitting repeats
itself.
When "Shipwreck" Kelly picked
out the tallest standard In New
ark. N. j., and assembled 1t to estab-
fish world record for nonstop
flagpole sitting. he thought he had
devised an entirely new invitation
to fame.
And when Joe Powers set out
to break Kelly's record on a staff
637 feet above Chicago's pave
ments, he eyed "shipwreck's" mark
as the one he had to beat.
They have learned too late that
the all-time record for lofty perch
ing was made 1900 years ago, and
that beside Its 37-year duration
their own records of a scant fort
night look puny indeed.
Simeon, a monk. made In the
fifth century the record for endur-
ance sitting which still stands -
only he used a pillar instead Of a
flagpole, and he undertook the feat
not for the vaudeville contracts and
advertising testimonials which lured
Kelly and Powers, but for religious
reasons.
Even more people gazed on
Simeon than peered through rented
telescopes at his modern emula-
tors, and among the crowds Simeon
won converts.
His world record has been periled
only once. A fellow named David
approached it, but lasted only 80
years on top of his column. So
many tried the feat that they be-
came a cult, called "Anchorites"
or Simeon Stylites," but pillar
sitting became nuisance in the
tenth century and laws were pass
ed against it.
Powers displays trace of pro-
fessional scorn as he observes that
Simeon's perch was but so feet
high. a scant tenth as tall as his
own.
But just the same" he adds,
I'm glad I'm doing my act in
Chicago and not under the blazing
sun Of Consta rtinople."

ing, It Is Revealed

New York, July 20 R - Fifteen
years after a lineal descendant of ].
p. Morgan bearing his name ceases
to be member of the banking
house of ]. P. Morgan and company
that famous banking name will pass
into history.
This stood revealed today in an
affidavit made by the financier and
filed as a part of the report of the
appraisal of the Estate of Edward R.
Stettinius, member of the Morgan
firm, who left gross assets of s5,-
948,376 and a net estate Of $685.

This included only his share of
the profits and the money he de-
posted with the firm, as the affida-
Wit disclosed that neither Mr.. Stet-
tinius, nor any other partner, in
GLIDING the financier himself had
any interest in the good will of the
banking house and that the value of
the Morgan name is not taxable at
the time of the death or retirement
of any partner, because the good will
is retained by the firm.
While Mr.. Morgan lives, however,
the partnership agreements provide
that his decision shall be final in any
dispute among the partners. Any
partner may withdraw on three
months notice and upon death or
withdrawal of partner, Mr.. Morgan
is to determine the value of the as
sets of the firm and Judge the
amount due the withdrawing part
ner. He also has power to compel
the immediate withdrawal of any
partner upon written notice.
Upon the death of Mr.. Morgan the
good will and the right to use the
name OF J. P. Morgan and company
and Drcxel and company will go to
the surviving partners, subject to the
provision regarding the lineal des-
cendent's connection with the firm.
II they are unable to agree as to
terms, the majority is to decide and
also has power to determine the
value OF Mr.. Morgan's interest.

INDICTED ON CHARGE
OF ATTEMPTED MURDER
Prospect Plains, n. J., Woman How
ever, Is Given Release IN Bonds
Of $1,000.

New Brunswick, N. J., July 80 R
Under indictment on charges OF
conspiracy to take the lives Of four
relatives, Miss Bessie Morse. 40
years old. of Prospect Plains, today
went about her duties incidental to
keeping house for her father. one
of the four against whom she g al
legged to have plotted.
With Miss Morse was indicted
Mamie Todd, Negro maid. who was
taken into the family thirteen years
ago out Of reform school.
Bills were returned at a special
session of the Middlesex county
grand Jury yesterday accusing both
OF attempts to bring about the
deaths of the father, George F.
Morse. 81, Bessie's sister. Mrs. Ell
mer Dey, the latter's husband. and
Raymond Britain, an adopted son.
Prosecutor John F. Toolan, at
tributed the plot to an attempt on
the part Of Miss Morse to secure the
half-million dollar fortune Of her
father.
Father and daughter scoffed at
the charges, both laying the allega-
tions to the wild imagination of the
maid. The aged man furnished
$1,000 bail for his daughter the day
after her arrest on June IS, and ex-
pressed implicit faith in her.

NAVAL STANDING

which the main differences of the
conference appeared to be centered,
are only incidental to the main is
sue about the size of navy which
England would require this country
to build under its plan. Mr.. Cool
idge in calling the conference, it
was recalled, had expressed the
hope that a reduction of the size
of navies of the three nations and
a resultant economy In their gov
ernmental expenditures would be
evolved together with concom-
infant development of peace and
better understanding between the
three countries.
Tho British proposals likewise,
according to the views OF Washing
ton officials, would be of no advan-
tage to the United States nor pro-
duce economy in naval construc-
ton. One official, analyzing the
plan, said that, while America was
asked to build from IL to is ten
thousand ton cruisers which its
navy needs, the British also pro-
posed the construction or retention
Of nearly 100000 tons of smaller
cruisers which it does not need nor
want.

FULLER MAY MAKE
HIS Finding We'd.
Convicted Radicals Soon to
Know il They Must Die

Boston, July 80 R-Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti will, in
all probability. know their fate next
Wednesday.
The two internationally known
radicals whose seven year fight for
life against a conviction for double
murder has stirred interest in every
quarter of the globe. had that as
surance today.
Gov. Alvan T. Fuller after listen
ing for eight hours to final pleas
of defense counsel all but concluded
his review of the trial of the two
men and announced his decision
probably would be ready Wednes-
day night.
A few more witnesses for the de-
tense will be heard Monday and
that will close the case. The gov
errors special advisory committee
handed in it's recommendation
earlier in the week after conduct
ing an inquiry that somewhat par
alleled that Of Mr.. Fuller.
The governors council which
considers with the executive petit
lions for clemency is due to meet
Wednesday and it was apparently
the governors belief that the fate
of the two condemned men would
be decided finally at that session,
the last which the council is sched-
uled to hold before the week OF
August 10, the date set for the
double electrocution.
In answer to the thousands Of pc
titions rejecting opinion OF wide
ly divers flied nature which have

ernor and council may take any one
of four courses, it was pointed out
today.
They say pardon the prisoners OF

of the death sentence.

since the start of his long inquiry
which included two visits to the con.

outcome. The advisory committed
has been equally taciturn.
The prisoners entered today the
fourteenth day OF their hunger
strike despite the earnest persuasion
of DR.. Joseph 1. Mclaughlin, prison
physician, and their own counsel.
Both men showed plain indica'
tons of weakness but were sleeping
undisturbedly and have been able te
take their daily exercise in the
prison corridors. The fast, it wa,
originally announced, was in protest
against the secrecy which has sur.
rounded the double investigation o.

PROTEST DECREE
IN MURDER CASE
About $50 Friends Of SacCo and
Yanzetti at Meeting Here

About $50 sympathizers of Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti who
are awaiting the decision of Cover
nor Fuller of Massachusetts in con-
nection with their execution for
: murder. gathered last evening at
United Hall to voice protest
against the intention of Massachu-
sets to electrocute the men.
The speaker of the evening. NJ. A.
Masmano of Boston, outlined the
history of the case, pointing out how
the states case was weakened by
the crumbling of circumstantial
evidence which, he said. decided the
issue. He stated that in his opin-
ion there was a very good chance OF
Governor Fuller's decision being in
favor OF the two men and alleged
that no right minded person could
decide In favor of the execution
While Masmano had only words of
praise for Governor Fuller, he took
several chances to let fly criticism
at the ability of Justice Thayer who
sat during the trial of the men. No
startling statements were made at
the meeting, the speaker combining
himself to a history of the case and
a discussion of the probable deci-
sion of Governor Fuller.
The crowd, which was made up
mostly of Italians. conducted itself
in an orderly manner and no heck
ling was evident during any of the
addresses. The audience was adj
dressed In both English and Italian.
After the meeting, a petition asking
for the release Of the two men was
circulated and was signed by a
greater part of the audience.
