Jeff Couldn't Resist the Temptation While He Had Mutt in Position

f itV4lfIJ. - - 1 MATTY IVu Tu..... . V .CIC BUTTON. tUTPLL Sot Believed That Martin Haberkern Committed Suicide by Drowning in Thistlethwaite's Pond. HE HAD NOT BEEN SEEN FOR 8 DAYS Was Despondent Over Inability to Cease Drinking Had Been Arrested on the Charge of. Intoxication. The body ot Martin Haberkern, aged t2, 35 S. Fifth street, a brother of William Haberkern, proprietor of the Oakland Wine company, was found "floating In Thistlethwaite's pond, north of Richmond. According to Coroner Pierce, the body may have been in the water for more than a week. A verdict of suicide will probably be filed by the coroner. It is believed that the man was despondent over his inability to stop drinking. He has been arrested on various occasions on the charge of intoxication. The body was first seen this morning by Paul Edwards, 13, Russel Carrington, 11 and Harry Carrington, 13, while the boys were preparaing to fish in the pond. Chief of Police Gormon was immediately notified and went with Prosecuting Attorney Reller and Patrolman Vogelsong to the pond. The body was ten feet from the west bank below the C. and O. railroad tracks. It was some time before it could be recovered. A rake was necessary to pull the body near enough to the bank so that it could be pulled from the water. No Identification could be found on the man and for some time no identity could be ascertained. His clothes were searched and an empty pocketbook, keys, spectacle case, a meal ticket and a gold locket and chain were found. The meal ticket had writing on It, but it was Impossible to determine the name as the paper had been soaked with water. The identification was determined by Patrolman Vogelsong. He had examined the locket and found in it a pteture of a woman whom he knew to be a friend of the unfortunate man. He had not been seen in this city for eight days, Patrolman Vogelsong having talked to him on April 11th. The flesh of the man was slightly decomposed. Coroner Pierce stated that the water in the pond is very cold and for this reason the decomposition was slow. It is believed that the body has been in the water from five to eight days. The boys who discovered it say that they were playing around the pond on Thursday and that they saw no trace of it at that time. Haberkern has not been at his home for more than two weeks. On March 26 he was released from the county jail after having served a jail sentence of 11 days for public Intoxication. For one night he remained at home and then left. He has not been seen there since that time. The theory of foul play was not entered Into by the coroner as it is believed the man either fell into the pond while in a state of intoxication or committed suicide. . Residents of Bridge avenue say that Haberkern often walked along that street towards Thistlethwaite's pond. They claim that this was done only when he was intoxicated. The last time he was seen in the vicinity was three weeks ago when he was released from jaiL At that time he passed several persons near the pond. At one time Haberkern was one of the most expert stone masons in the city, owning a stone yard on South Tenth street. He is survived by his brother, William Haberkern, two children. Hazel and Roy and his wife from whom he was divorced. Funeral arrangements have not been made, as yet. Missouri now forbids serving free Junches in saloons.

toNrr BELIEVE POPE HAS PASSEOJHE CRISIS Prayers of Thanksgiving Will Be Offered Sunday if He Still Improves. (National News Association) ROME, April 19. Hope that the crisis in the condition of Pope Pius X has been passed was aroused today by reassuring bulletins from the Vatican physicians, Drs. Marchiafava and Dr. Amici. At 11 o'clock this morning the following announcement from the sick room through the channels of the pa-i pal secretary of state: "The general condition of his holiness is satisfactory. Temperature, 99." This temperature is normal and says that the fever has left the prelate. At 5:10 a. m. this bulletin was issued : J "v "The Pope is resting easy and dozing at this hour. He had the Bible read to him for half an hour. The sick room is now perfectly quiet." This bulletin had been issued an hour earlier: "The pontiff is wakeful but tranquil at this hour. His lips are moving, evidently in prayer. Only one attendant was present, as he insisted that all others retire." The following bulletin had been issued at 3:20 a. m.: "As the night proceeds the Pope is showing signs of rather disquieting weakness. Brandy is administered frequently in small quantities." At 2 15 a bulletin stated: "The Pope is resting easy and taking nourishment passively. His distressing vomiting has almost ceased." Up to noon today his holiness had been without fever for three days and the chief cause for worry was his weakness and the disordered condition of his stomach. While the pontiff is much better the danger of death has not been removed by any means. In the weakened condition of the pontiff he is susceptible to the slightest adverse circumstances. There were signs of rejoicing throughout Rome when the news was circulated that the Pope was not only holding his own but was gaining against disease. Prayers of thanksgiving were offered up and if the improvement continues prayers of thanksgiving will be formally offered in the Catholic services In the churches tomorrow.

BANKER SLAPS SOLON And House May Take Action On Matter Monday. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, April 19. The house probably will be asked on Monday to take official cognizance of the attack made yesterday up on Rep. T. W. Sims by Charles Glover, the millionaire banker of this city. Rep. Sims is disinclined to raise the constitutional question of immunity from accountability for words spoken in debate but some of his colleagues have positive views on the subject. It is understood that Rep. Garrett will attempt on Monday to cite Glover for contempt of the house. The admission by the banker that he struck Sims twice in an ger over statements Sims had made about Glover In the house is held by parliamentary experts to bring the banker under the constitutional provision, which provides that no members of congress shall be held accountable elsewhere for words spoken in debate. Glover is 63 years old and Sims is 61. Both weigh nearly 200 pounds. The feud was over charges that Glover bought land in the path of public improvements in Washington and made too much money.
