RADIO LISTENER
BULLET VICTIM
Amazed Fan Finds Shot Is
Real One.

The radio in the home Of An
drew Mcfarland, 848 South Penn
sylvania street, was Shrieking with
the whistles and bells announcing
the advent of the New Year at mid
night Tuesday.
Mcfarland stood beside it, thrill
ing to the merrymaking in a famous
night club. His radio lacked tele-
vision, but, for moment, he be-
lieved the inventors had excelled
themselves.
A shot struck his right arm. He
looked, astonisfed, at the radio.
Then, realizing that the merry
makers hundreds of miles away
could not have been responsible for
the wound which was sending blood
down his arm, he investigated and
found a bullet hole in the tran
som.
The shot had been fired, probably
by some New Year merrymaker from
elevated Pennsylvania railway tracks
near by. Mcfarland was attended
at city hospital. The bullet did not.
break the bone in his arm.

Sacrifice
Gary Priest Is at Point of
Death as Result of
Mercy Act.

BIZ United Press
CARY, Ind, Jan. 1.-Such as
" he had, Father John B. De-
vile gave freely unto others, after
the teaching of the Man of Cali
lee, whom his life was dedicated.
That was why death came near
today and why the priest, who
numbers President Hoover among
his personal friends, awaited the
end unafraid.
A shivering down-and-outer
passed Father Deville on the
street on Christmas eve. The
priest took off his overcoat and
gave it to the unfortunate, bidding
him a cheerful Christmas greet
ing.
The priests thin garments were
inadequate protection against the
cold and he reached his home
chilled through. Pneumonia de-
veloped and he was taken to
Mercy hospital. Physicians said
today his recovery was doubtful.
AS the pastor of st. Anthony's
church and director Of the Judge
Gary-Bishop Alerding settlement
house, Father Deville was known
as a kindly and God-fearing man,
always ready to help any one in
need.
He was knighted by Albert, king
of the Belgians, after he had per-
Suaded a German army comman-
der to allow him to rescue Belgian
orphans and bring them to this
country during the war.
Prayers for his recovery were
said in Roman Catholic churches,
home and business places over the
city today.

BIZ United Press
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-Charles P.
Taft, Sc, half-brother of Chief JUS
tice William Howard Taft, died at
his home here Tuesday night from
complications resulting from an at
tack of pneumonia several months
ago.
Taft was noted as an editor, phi
lanthropist and art collector. He
was probably best known as editor

developed many other interests.
He graduated from Yale univer-
Sity in 1864 with an ABB. degree
and three years later received an
Am. degree. He was admitted to
the bar in 1866 and practiced from
1869 to 1879.
In 1879 he purchased the Cincin-
natl Times and less than a year
later consolidated it with the Star.
In 1871 he was elected to the Ohio
house of representatives and in
1895 was elected representative
from the first Ohio district to con-
greSS.
At one time Taft owned the Chi
cago National League baseball team
and later purchased a half interest
in the Philadelphia National League
team. At the time of his death he
owned a half interest in the Nc
Alpin hotel in New York.
Taft is survived by his widow;
two daughters, Mrs. Albert S. In
gals and Mrs. William T. Semple,
and one son, Charles Howard Taft.

That Natalie, cultured. charming,
beautiful. could be guilty of such
an exhibition of temper as she ha
shown that afternoon. seemed to
him uneXplainable. And for what
reason? Simply because he had
kept her waiting.
PhIlipa glanced discerningly at
his brooding countenance when
they returned to the office, and
quietly effaced herself. She felt
she had wasted an opportunity, but
she was too wise to intrude upon
a man with unpleasant thoughts.
Alans mood did not change be-
fcre the office closed Then he told
Pl.Niipa, IN reference to some work
that she said needed his immediate
attention. that he would return to
the office after dinner and take care
o.. it.
She saw, while putting his desk
II order after his departure, that
he had not been able TO work that
afternoon, at least not since Nata-
lie had been there.
It was unusual for him 10 work N
the office at night, but he did it oc-
c2slonally. when Natalie attended
concert or lecture n which he
lacked interest He rarely came
down from his home for the sole
purpose of working
When he left tn office he did
not mean to 80 to Westchester AMI

which restaurant Ought to tele-
phone Natalie, though They'd had
scenes before. No Use making
matters worse by worrying her.
He turned toward a cigar store
and a public telephone, but on the
way he decided he'd like a hot bah
and a cnanrc before dinner He
stopped and looked about for taxi.
And in the hack OF his mind there
was something more important to
Inn than his comfort.
