SPANISH WAR HERO IS TAKEN BY DEATH HERE Ora E. White Was Given Congressional Medal for Bravery. Ora E. White, holder of the congressional medal 01 honor lewbravery in the battle of Manila in the Spanish-American war, died Monday in his home, 1823 BrookSide avenue, after four weeks' illness. Bom in Indianapolis, Mr. White enlisted in the navy at the outset of the war with Spain. As captain of a gunner’s crew at Manila, he kept his gun firing after others on his ship, the S. S. Baltimore, had been disabled. Asa result, one more enemy craft was sunk. Mr. White's hands were wounded In the Manila encounter, and he suffered a shrapnel wound in his side. Misshapen fingers were a reminder of the battle throughout the rest of his life. On the return from Manila, Mr. White was transferred to Admiral Dewey’s private yacht as coxswain. Until the admiral’s death, he was sent a box of cigars every Christmas by Mr. White, who was the recipient of what is believed to have been Dewey’s last letter, extending thanks for a gift received Christmas, 1916. The letter was written on the ,day Dewey was taken with the illness that resulted in his death. After serving nine years in the havy, Mr. White returned to Indianapolis. Successively, he was fireman, special policeman for the Coffin golf course, and special policeman for the Marmon plant. United Spanish War Veterans, of which he was a member, will have charge of the funeral at 2 Wednesday in the home. Military burial in Crown Hill cemetery will follow. FIND BATTERED AUTO; MAYBE DEATH CAR Investigation in Hit-Run Tragedy Reopened by City Police. Discovery Monday of a battered automobile abandoned at Fiftyninth and Harding streets opened an investigation by police and deputy sheriffs to determine if it is the car which struck and killed Tobias Becker, 86-year-old inmate of the Marion county infirmary. Body of the aged man, who incurred a skull fracture, and whose legs and hands were broken, was found Friday in a clump of bushes one-half mile west of the intersection of Forty-second street and Kessler boulevard. He had been missing from the infirmary since last Tuesday. A fender, bumper and the windshield of the abandoned automobile were broken. The car had been stripped of all accessories and bore no license plates. A number on the engine failed as a clew, there being no record in the office of the secretary of state of such a number for the kind of car.

Jimmy Smiles Is Changed Man, Even to His Name

Cheery Cognomen Discarded With His Happiness as He Gets Term. Jimmy Smiles is a changed maneven to his name—which he has decided was not In keeping with the sad, expression on his face. For the law had frowned darkly on Jimmy, an ex-convict, who thought maybe new clothes, another name and a bouquet 'of flowers would bring happiness. But they didn’t. Instead, his dream ended in criminal court where he pleaded guilty to issuing fraudulent checks and received one to five years in prison as the penalty. He then discarded his cheery cognomen, declaring his real name to be Joseph Bier. That was the name he used when paroled from the state reformatory last July, he admitted. That was the name he left behind him on a crisp, sunny morning last October, when he set out to find happiness in the wrong way. His first exploit was to steal the new overcoat of Gaylord Mills, 15 Pembroke arcade. Finding a check book in the pocket, he hastened to a downtown department store and bought anew hat, a derby hat and pair of shoes, signing fraudulent checks for the purchases. He thought flowers might finish rejuvenating a life that had grown weary in the state reformatory—so he tried another $5 che<' on a flower dealer. But the flower dealer was smart, took him to a bank and called detectives, who hustled Jimmy to jail, where he was shorn of his new raiment.
