This one came from one Of the

country Henry L. Doherty. IN
less a more constructive national

would demand an investigation2Of

All of which will, bring further

SAYS BISHOP CANNON
Quietness of Wedding Due to Wife's
Ill Health, Asserts Prelate.


Ill Health, Asserts Prelate.
FUNCHAL, Madeira, July 25.-
Displaying reluctance to be inter-
viewed, Bishop James G. Cannon Jr.
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, arrived here Thursday with
his bride, the former Mrs. Helen
McCallun.
The Cannons we're passengers
aboard the liner Arlanza en- route
to Brazil, where the bishop intends
to make tour Of Methodist mis-
sions, remaining until November.
After attempting to evade news
paper men on the deck OF the
Arlanza Bishop Cannon finally sub
mitted to a brief interview in which
he said that there was no question
of secrecy in connection with his
wedding which was performed
quietly last week in Christ church,
London, by DR.. G. E. Farron.
The lack of ceremony, he ex-
planned, was due to the fact that
his wife, an Englishwoman, had but
lately recovered from series Of
operations.
Bishop Cannon said he had cabled
ali information in regard to his
marriage to the church press In
America and to his family.

The nearest towns where provi-

The majority Of the towns ordi-

for occasional visits by inhabitants.
The town Of Zungoli is ten miles

WEALTHY HOBO
ALONE IN DEATH
James EadS How Deserted
by Migrants He Aided.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 25.-James
EadS How was deserted in death
Thursday by the hobos he be-
friended and aided with his fortune.
Not a ragged shirt or a broken
pair of shoes was seen in William
Howard Taft's All Souls Unitarian
church at the millionaire hobo'S"
funeral, and six hired pallbearers
carried the caSket from the hearse
to the altar and back again.
Seven women and eleven men sat
in the dimly-lighted church, and of
Howis distinguished family, which
he deserted for the open road many
years ago, only his tall and distin-
guished brother, Louis How, was
there.
One woman put single rose on
the caSket. She refused to give her
name, but said she knew How for
many years and he was "a wonder
full man."
The only eulogy was reading
from the Scriptures, 81 was an hun
gered and We fed me; 1 was thirst
and We gave me drink" we're among
the quoted words of Jesus.
One member of How's hobo organ
ization, the International Brother
hood Welfare Organization, stood
outside the church and passed out
copies Of the Hobo News.
The body was cremated and the
ashes are to be sent to st. Louis.

HAMMER DEATH
IN HOTEL Barred
Find Woman With Skull
Crushed; Man Is Murdered.
RyUuited Press

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, July 25.-Two more
murders, one early today, the other
late Thursday, were added to the
growing list of major crimes i'll De-
troit today.
Jack Brown, "a, a landscape
painter, was shot to death today
while seated in his automobile in
front of a boarding house where he
lived. He was released Thursday
from the Detroit house of correction.
He had been convicted of assault
and battery on the complaint of
Evelyn Littlef1eld, who is held by
police.
Patrolmen caught Miss Littlefleld,
who said she had lived with Brown
six or seven months, fleeing from
the scene. They believe Brown was
killed by man who had been keep
ing company with the woman, while
Brown was in jail.
The other killing, hammer"
murder, was discovered late Thurs
day when the body of an unidenti-
fed woman, her head crushed, was
found in a hotel room. Police are
seeking a male companion who
came to the hotel with, her. A
blood-stained hammer was found

and Ariano is twenty-five miles,
while Villanova is located on a Sec
ondary road ten miles from the
main road.
Virtually all towns in the region
are situated on mountain tops, a
relic of the medieval custom of To-
eating towns high up in the noun
tains to render defense easier.
None of the towns which have
suffered Severely are on the main
national highway except Ariano.
Towns are approached by small
roads which ascend with heavy
grades up the rloIntains, from the
heights of which one can see for
miles around the country. The cor
respondent found the peasants of
these mountain top villages faced
the greatest difficulty in procuring
supplies.
When Morgan reached Monte
calvo, he first heard the cry for
more bread and came TO realize the
position of the inhabitants, who
had to descend the mountain and
then ascend another before they
could reach center Of supply.
