MRS. PATTERSON TO

TELL TO THE JURY HER PITIFUL LIFE Beautiful Woman Who Murdered Her Husband Alleges He Sold Her to Emil -Strouss, a Millionaire. (Continued from Page One.) r 'the slavery into which he had sold me." The amount which she said Strouss ! paid the husband was $1,500. "He threatened to make it all pubtile." she said "and to Bave my people I Pbought him off." "Then he demanded more, and when 1 refused, he filed his suit for $25,000 ! for alienation of affections against Mr. LStrouss. I was heartsick. I knew the disgrace that would be 'brought upon me and my family, and I decided to kill myself. I wrote, though, to Mr. Patterson, to ask him to come to me, that we might talk things over. I thought I could dissuade him from prosecuting the unjust suit. So I wrote bim a note, and then I phoned to find out if he'd see me. Promised Her Divorce. "My suggestion was that we go to he sanitarium, oecause there is a nice ark there where we could sit and alk. but he said he would prefer to eet me at the Rlchtofen Castle. I .went there. I told him what a terrible thing I was doing, and he said that if I would deed to him my bungalow, he .would let me get a divorce without a contest and never mention Strouss's name to me again. "Willingly would I have paid that rice to be rid of the awful worry of he thing, but I had bought him off be'ore on some such agreement and he ad never kept his word. I know that hen I gave him anything I had in the orld he would turn on me again. hen I did the only thing that was left me I killed him." "I hnvn told m v torv." she cried. "It jheems a strange unusual one. Well, in toy heart, I believe it is the old story of other women, at least in the chanters leading up to the final tragedy. .They keeping their sorrow hidden betaeath smiles and laughter. Fate wrung mine out." , Thus it can be seen from Mrs. Patterson's story that her line of defense probably will be in the nature of an ("unwritten law" plea. Another arguItnent that is expected to be advanced us that of temporary insanity. CENTENARY OF ADM. i WINSLOW ON SUNDAY (National News Association) . WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. In this, the semi-centennial year of the beginning of the civil war, when the stirring events of the historic conflict are being recalled by anniversay celfebratlons and historical reviews, it is interesting to note that tomorrow will Lbe the one hundredth anniversary of 'the birth of Rear Admiral John A. iWinslow, who commanded the Kearaarge in her famous fight with the Albabam off the port of Chorbourg, QFrance, June 19, 1864.

Ixv tcal police are seeking two men, who, to play a Joke, on John Valaski, employed in an East Burlington pipe foundry, poured kerosene oil all over him while he slept, then touched a match to his saturated clothing. Val aski awoke with a shriek as the fire touched his flesh, and his tormenters laughed at his antics. ' Screaming with pain Valaski. a hurman torch, rushed through the founIdry. Fellow workmen tried to stop pirn, but he eluded them until George Kears, a molder seized him and t smothered the flames with his coat. Valaski's clothes had been burned away and his flesh terribly scorched. Physicians say his condition is critical.

BENEFACTIONS WITH A

People Who Give Away Money in Lump Sums Generally Want Their Names in Conspicuous Places Why Pretend to Like People?

Why do people give money away i with strings tied to it? I I will eive twenty-five thousand dol-! lars to the United Order of Humbugs j to erect an asylum for their children, ! if somebody else will raise two hun-1 dred thousand, says Mr. Carnegie or anybody. Then a committee is appointed and every nook and cranny of the country In which the United Order of Humbugs is strong is raked with a fine tooth comb. Widows of deceased members of the order with $850 in the bank are wait ed upon by local members of the com mittee and induced to sign a deed of trust, or whatever it is, in favor of the trustees of the asylum. Grandchildren of the founders of the Order are solicited for five percent of their monthly incomes and retired vet erans are assessed on a percentage ba sis for that part of their pensions which they are requested to mortgage. Tag day is Instituted and every citizen of the town from the poor devil who straggles along with only ten cents in his pocket and despair in his heart, to the "tight-wad" who walks down town to save street-car fare, although the rheumatism in his feet nearly kills him, is held up for a contribution to the asylum for the orphan children of the Ancient and United Order of Humbugs. As a finish the committee goes on a whirlwind campaign and every business man teetering on the precipice of bankruptcy is browbeaten into handing over the sole remaining contents of his cash drawer, and the committees announce In large headlines that the total amount has now been successfully bled out of the public and the foundations of the asylum will be put into place as soon as the funds are collected. Later, the asylum is reared and upon Its granite face in letters four feet high is Inscribed the legend "Erected in the year nineteen hundred and something or other by Andrew Carnegie and the grace of God." Or if it isn't Carnegie its somebody else. Notwithstanding the $25,000,000 recently contributed by Mr. Carnegie to education, Carnegie seems a more or less solemn fraud. No man could legitimately accumulate the tremendous fortune belonging to Carnegie. If he gives it back to "the people" although who on earth are "the people" its the only thing In common decency he can do. He robbed them of it in the frst place. Carnegie's owlish pretentions to vast erudition and his eternal presence at the laying of corner stones is nearly as amusing as Pierpont Morgan's assumptions of art connoisseurship. Pierpont Morgan and his ilk are the blight on the fine bloom of art. A collector is born not made. Not In the world is there an enjoyment so exquisite as the pursuit of a collector's fad. To at last, after long search, after ambushing elusive clues, after following a lure ending in a cul de sac, after chasing a wild hope, to run to cover your cherished and longed for artistic inamorata this is one of the superlative pleasures known only to the true collector. The latter is generally a trifle shabby and frayed round the edges. He'd rather buy a book than a coat. Some rare objet. d'art than a pair of shoes. Now step in Pierpont Morgan or anybody. Whoever it is, after robbing and pillaging and stealing and garnering in ducats way up in the millions, says "I've about cleaned up the bunch now I'll become an art collector." He proceeds forthwith to corner the art market. "Ha!" says he. "what's that?" Why that's a Caxton, says poor old out at elbows who's been hungering for a Caxton all his life. "What er is a Caxton. strictly sub rosa, of course. Don't want anybody to know I don't know what they are." "Well, a Caxton" said Out at Elbows "is well, Caxton you know old fellow used to print books and all that" "Buy up the lot," says Pierpont, or whoever it may be. So his agent receives instructions to hit the head of every Caxton that sticks its head out of cover. And poor old out at elbows, or even in at elbows with a moderate income, is barred out. He has no more chance of cornering a Caxton than he has of being translated to Mars. And after he's acquired them he'has them boxed up and sends them to his galleries in London because if he brought them back to this country he'd have to pay the duty and he can't afford that. Sometimes, however, the Pierpont Morgans get taken in. of Cost

"Li,

STRING TIED TO THEM

Sometimes bogus old masters are palmed off on them by designing picture-dealers and not infrequently old vases of ancient dynasties, made out of New Jersey mud, are displayed admiringly in glass cases in the galleries of multi-millionaires. But it is these very millionaires that, as before stated, rob collecting of much of Its charm. By buying some particular object of art or virtu in whatever "job lots" it may have accumulated, the collector of ordinary income is ruled out since he cannot possibly run up a price in an auctionroom to the dizzy figure that some plutocrat's agent has been instructed to do. He has no chance whatsoever. The plutocrat does not, ten to one, know anything about, or even, care for the object purchased. It merely feeds his vanity and adds to his possessions. You rarely hear of these people doing art a genuine service by purchasing pictures by contemporary artists which may become the masterpieces of a later day. The only one of this latter clasB who has become conspicuous as an encourager of living American artists is one Evans, with whose given name the writer is not familiar, but whose famous collection of American paintings includes many of the most notable examples of modern art. Bundy, by the bye, Is represented in the Evans collection. What a lot of time people spend pretending they like things they not only don't give a hang for. but at times positively detest. How nice it would be to be able to say, as do children to one another "I wish you'd go home," or "I don't like you any more." That is it "I don't like you any more." As quoted here before "there's nothing so permanent as change." People change twenty times a day. You're never sure you will like the person you're with alternating half hours. Sometimes you like people and again you don't. There's a certain little verse which had great vogue a few years ago which is worth reproducing here "Yes, people change we did, you know. Last August, just a year ago, You wore red poppies in your hair That night at Brown's. I thought you fair And you were pleased I thought you so. The music pealing soft and low Seemed filled with joy or was it woe ? I could not tell for you were there! Yes, people change. Tonight your gown's like drifted snow. The wedding march peals softly, low low For Tom, a bridal wreath you wear And 1 someway I do not care I should have cared a year ago Yes, people change! Herein lies a philosophy, or fact, or whatever you choose to term it, that if generally recognized and accepted, would tend to the abolition of much social strife. Don't you remember the time you fell in love with a girl at a party? You pursued her. Wouldn't let her alone. Your infatuation was positively assinine, and the disgust and derision of all your friends. You hung on her words and on her front veranda. To touch her hand was intoxication. To help her on with her coat was bliss. The time she let you kiss her you were blind with joy. She had the general appearance of an angel and you loved to look at her long moments. Then one day suddenly you couldn't explain it but you noticed that her nose was red. How funny you had never noticed it before! And, in the batting of an eyelash, you perceived her as she was a common little thing. And she never could understand why you gotyour hat and never did come back. And, don't you remember how you had your feelings severely jarred by Sal's drug-store complexion and her glaring effrontery in appearing in it without a veil and trying to pass it off as the bloom of youth when you EZ-UM Will Tired Fee Tadr. sore aad achln feet are lartaaUy relieved by this perfect "foot-oamfert." ti-Un U not like otter toot preparauooe you b totod.

Then you pretend when you see her that nothing has happened, and all the time you long to fall upon her throat and throttle her. Business College Notes Mr. C. E. Markey, who has held the position of clerk of the house of representatives of Ohio, called at the school and had some letters written, announcing his candidacy for Second assistant secretary of the constitutional convention of Ohio. Mr. Markey is a very capable young man and has made his mark since leaving school, having been employed in a number of political positions, as well as with such firms as Armour, Swift & Co., of Chicago and the Athens Hardwood Finishing Co., of Athens, O. He has the best wishes of his many friends here. Howard Steen and Paul Harris finished their bookkeeping and entered the shorthand department this week. Russell Reynolds, of New Madison, Ohio, Alfred Archer, Clarence Berg, Cyrus Showalter, of Richmond, entered schgol during the past week. A. U. Martin of the Newcastle Business College, spent Saturday and Sunday with friends in Richmond. The employment department has filled thirty-four positions and had ten other calls. Mr. L. B. Campbell made a business trip to Muncle and Anderson in the interest of the College. He also accompanied the Boosters on their northern trip on Wednesday and reports a very pleasant time. There are 118 students enrolled now, which is the largest number at this time of the year for a long time, and the work is progressing nicely. HUNTING CASE TO BE GIVEN HEARING Persons are not required to have a hunter's license in order to hunt rabbits in the township in which they live. This is the statement of Prosecutor Ladd. He says that this fact is not generally known. He savs that hunters with or with out a license are required to secure permission of the tenants or land owners before they are allowed to hunt upon a man's place. He declares that the license protects the hunter only when the game warden visits a locality, and these visits are few and far between. This statement was occasioned by an argument in the Wayne circuit court room about the case of the state versus George Boval, charged with hunting on a premises without a permit. Boval's case is set for December. RAIGHEA Superior Electric VIvlnres Direct Emm mkir to VOI1 VALUtS Craighead ?H2S.c Co. 910 Main St. Poone 1286 E. C.

LIVES Itl OLD HOUSE SEEKS CANCER CURE Backed by Sprague Fund. Woman Experiments, Surrounded by Rodents. CHICAGO, Nov. 18. A lone woman,

living in a shabby two-story brick house, with the northwest wind driving quantities of snow in through broad cracks, and having for company a small menagerie of rats, white mice, dogs and guinea pigs, is at work in Chicago, eighteen hours a day, seven days in the week, "in the interests of science." The woman is Maud Slye, a former instructor In the medical department of the University of Chicago. The goal for which she is striving is a cure for cancer. Her bouse of experimentation is at 5S37 Drexel avenue. The experiments are being conducted under the direction of the Institute for Medical Research founded by the late Otho S. A. Sprague. Miss Slye has been engaged in her present line of experimentation since early la6t spring. Strict secrecy is being observed as to the nature of the experiments. A maid, who is present at the laboratory during the day, is the scientist's only attendant. The lower floor of the building is arranged for the accommodation of the animals which serve as subjects for the experiments. Cages for rats and mice line the walls. In the center of the room a little area is fenced off for the dogs. The second floor contains sleeping quarters for the scientist and the chemical laboratory. When, after repeated attempts, a reporter was finally admitted, Miss Slye gave only the most meager outline of her work. "At present the public can be interested only to know that my every energy, night and day,' she said, is being expended in prosecuting a line of experimentation which it is hoped will result in a cure for cancer. "It would be unscientific to boast of any success which I may have had so far, or to express my hopes for the ultimate success of my experiments. "I have made known no details concerning the nature of the experiments, nor will I do so until something definite is accomplished." I The scientist admitted that the methods which she was- using had never before been tried. She said they were partly original and partly a crystalization of the thought of the American medical profession on the question of a cure for cancer. "We may have that knowledge which the world in general and the medical profession in particular is awaiting within a few omnths. However, nothing will be announced until we have found a certain cure," sno said. "The collection of animals which I keep here is for use in testing out the results of my experiments. It will not be necessary to try out the cure, when found, in a clinic. I can arrive at positive conclusions here, by the use of the animals."

STOCKYARDS SMELL TO BE ELIMINATED

Chicago's Notable Claim to Fame-.Stands in Great Danger. CHICAGO. Nov. IS. Chicago may lose its most notable claim to fame. The stockyards odor often called by a less polite and more emphatic name, is to be trailed to its liar it appears that it has a number of them, cornered and bagged and exterminated. This was decided on today by Health Commissioner Young. He appointed a commission of eight strong men, of which he himself will be the head, to go out and hunt the stockyards odor down. The commis sioners will take up the scent imme diately. Just why so large a commission was needed to find something which every man, woman and child in the South Side of the city is able to discover at almost any time single-handed and alone, was explained by Commisioner Young after a meeting of the commissioners. He said the stockyards odor in the state it reaches residents of distant parts of the city is a conglomeration of smells, an army of smells, in fact.

OBESITY NOW CURED BY USE OF KNIFE PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 18. Dr. W. Wayne Babcock at the Samaritan hospital here demonstrated the most up-to-date method of making a stout person slim and sylphlike, and allowing all women to glory in the straightest of "straight fronts" should they dechee that such shall be the style. The technical name of the operation performed by Dr. Babcock for the edification of the surgeons attending the clinic is "resection of abdominal wall for obesity." The patient was a woman. Twelve pounds of at had been removed. The operation itself seemed to be simple. Dr. Babcock said that with a skilled surgeon such an operation was not dangerous to the patient. Great care had to be exercised so that no muscles were severed. HAS GIVEN THIRTY YEARS HAS LED UN. MINIATURE PICTURE OF PACKAGE.
