Throng Waits to See Coffin
Removed From Home Where
Woman Resided in Mystery

NEW YORK, March 16 (U.S0
"A little ,old lady who devoted
her life to minding her own
business was buried yesterday
while thousands of people who had
never seen her in life, even in
q newspaper photograph, strug-
gled to get a glimpse of the cof-
fin that contained her body.
She was Ella Wendell, spinster,
78 years old, of 442 Fifth Ave.
She Left $1OO, 100000
She went to her grave leaving
q 100000, 900 fortune, which
eventually will be distributed to
charity. Five automobiles fol-
lowed the body to the family
vault in Trinity Cemetery. Only
one relative, a nephew, attended
the funeral for he, George Stan
ley Shirk, was the only kinsman
who survived the last of the
Wendell line.
Around her frail figure, a thou
sand myths materialized, mostly
false-but the crowds that blocked
traffic on the avenue appeared
to think that in death some
melodramatic episode would take
place to vindicate their curiosity.
Little to Be Seen
But this was all they saw:
Locked doors on Fifth Avenue
and Thirty-ninth Street. which
opened only when friends of the
Wendell family appeared-fhcker.

Wendell vault on the hillside in
Trinity's graveyard.

to Holy Cross, Nome and Kotzebue should have the presence of the Glacier Priest before the breakup of the ice. Lack of financial back ing for an airplane may prevent Fr. Hubbard from getting the last named spots which are flung over hundreds of miles of rough and dangerous country.
 COURAGEOUS SCIENTIST
 For that matter, Fr. Hubbard has always been without back ing for his wonderful Alaska ex- ploits and it has become almost uncanny the way the courageous priest explorer overcomes obsta- cles and covers almost impossible distances in gaining his objectives. Every year he has gained his ob- jective So this winter should be no exception
 OFFER DECLINED
 II had hopes the Glacier Priest said in an interview, that certain newspaper interests in the West who have been using my ma terial gratis for years, would come to my aid with a plane this year. In fact definite hopes had been given me recently in Seattle that if I submitted my proposition to the enterpriSing head of the greatest chain of American pa pers, would undoubtedly receive his help.
 His business manager said he considered my request for only a plane very modest in relation to the interesting journalistic stories II could give as the result of its use, especially in view of the $20O,- 100000 reported to have been giy- en to Wilkins for less interesting explorations.
 "A telegram came yesterday de- clining the offer, So it is a case of looking elsewhere now.
 Hopes of covering part of the region by plane now rest on the arrival and fitness of Father Woodley's plane. Meanwhile I in tend to follow up my plans as stated, convinced that Divine Pro- vidence will giude all to the best outcome

could be done 90 that the British
Empire should suffer as little as pos
sible from this move. For this reason
they have summoned the Germans to
come TO London and talk over mat
ters with them. Without the British
support the French seem to have no
chance OF opposing the Germans. They
must, consequently, do all they can to
force the hand OF the British and the
Italians to prevent the German policy
OF tariff unions. II possible They have
only one trump card left in their
hands, that Is the naval agreement,
which the British and Italians are very
anxious to have completed as soon as
possible in order TO stop the heavy
expenses. This last trump card the
French are likely to play for all 1t is
worth.
As soon as the news Of the Ger
man plans were officially known the
French expert negotiatorS who were
drafting the Franco Italian British
naval agreement found that a mistake
Of some $4,000 tons was made to the
detriment of France According to
italian and British naval experts, this
matter had already been fully dis
cusSed by the representatives Of the
respective governments in the early
stages OF the negotiations, and 1t had
been decided to leave the question of
requirements in suspense until Deem
Der 81, 1885. Yet the French raised
this question again as soon as It be-
came evident that the Italians would
not oppose the German plan of tariff
unions. The British, not knowing ex-
actly what attitude to adopt, agreed
at first with the French point of piew.
but later, having decided that the
Austro German tariff union could not
be prevented. they decided TO oppose
the French point Of view.
The French, faced with isolation In
Europe. threatened to become only q
secondary power in Europe within a
decade II the German plans ma
terialiSe, are puttiny up a desperate
fight to prevent this policy Of tariff
unions from becoming an accomplished
the danger. They have been willing
10 extend q friendly hand TO Italy and
thus help Great Britain financially by
preventing her spending large sums on
warshipS. They were willing to suspend
their naval competition with Italy.
But now, when they realize that the
Italians are looking longingly toward
Germany; when they see that the
British are prepared TO talk business,
and possibly treaty reviSions with the
Germans and their accolytes, they do
not see any reason why they should
make any further concessions to those
nations and seem to be determined
TO 60 full speed ahead with their naval
programs regardless as TO what will be-
come Of the naval pacts. 1t may be that
this policy will IeopardiZe the chances of
the next general disarmament confer

Supreme Court Rulings on IS Cases
Are Due at Recovering Tomorrow

and freedom to publish such criticism is
undoubtedly included in the term
liberty" of which one cannot be de-
prived without due process of law. This
case was argued in the earlier part of the
term, but there is movement in the
Minnesota Legislature to repeal the
gag law" and If it is repealed before
the Supreme Courts decision, the case
will, of course, be dismissed as having
become moot
The question arose In the District Of
Columbia whether colored defendant
may examine the Jurors on whether
they have any prejudices where color
ed person is accused of having killed
q white man. Here colored man was
charged with the murder Of white
policeman, and on the first trial the
jury disagreed.
1t was discovered that the disagree
ment was whether he should be found
guilty of first or second degree murder,
and the reason for the disagreement
was that one of the jurors stated she
would not let a colored man get Oh
with anything less than flrst-degree
murder after having killed white
policeman.
On the second trial, counsel for the
defendant attempted to ask the jurors
whether they entertained any prejI-
diceS against colored persons, and the
question was ruled out by the trial
court. On appeal, the Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia held that
in a city like Washington, where the
colored race is accorded all the privi-
legeS and rights under the law that are
afforded the white race" there was no
abuse of discretion on the part of the
trial court in refusing to permit that
question to be answered by the jurors.
The ruling of the Supreme Court is
watched with interest.
