to havo been n relative and another a
friend of Melvln II. Couch, tho man
for whoso love she Incarcerated her
self three years in n secret chamber,

New York.
Dreading being followed nnd observ
ed by the curious, the woman, it "was
learned, had begged the officials to aid
her in getting away without anybody
In the village, especially newspaper
reporters, learning of It.
Because of tho fear that reporters
might have automobiles ready to pur
sue her friends of tho girl provided n
sixty horsepower machine, which sped
away from tho jail at top speed and
disappeared around a corner of the
road leading to Fallsburg.
Because of the report that the young
woman who admits that on account of
her love for Melvln H. Couch, formerly
district attorney of Sullivan county,
she kept herself a prisoner three years
In a secret chamber of his law office
would be liberated practically all of
the townsfolk spent most of their time
around the Jail.
Sheriff Frank L. Klnnle was repeat
edly questioned ns to whether Miss
Branch loft the institution, but he was
at all times evasive. He would not
make a statement.

kind about this woman," ho kept say
ing when he was asked to affirm or
deny reports that Miss Branch has se
cretly left the prison and had been
aided out of town.

VICTIMS ABE BURIED
Funerals of Fifty-nine of
Calumet Tragedy.
SAD SCENES AT OBSEQUIES.
Western Town Still Shuddering From
Blow of Catastrophe All Factions
United For the Time by the
Sorrow and Bereavement.
Calumet. Mich., Dec. 20. Fifty-nine
if those who lost their lives in tho
panic of Christmas eve wero burled.
More than 10.000 men and women
marched In the funeral procession, and
thp day was one of mourning through
out the mining section.
Funeral services were held In six
churches. Five of these are located In
Red Jacket and nnother In Hecla. At
the conclusion of the services the pro
cessions from the churches were joined
iji 11 single procession that made its
way slowly to Lake View cemetery.
There the dead were laid in trenches,
twenty-five 011 the Catholic side and
the others on the Protestant side. Aft
er the ministers had conducted their
committal services n general service
was conducted near the entrance to the
cemetery.
All morning the death wagons went
hurrying through the community tak
ing caskets from the homes to the sev
eral churches. Many of the stricken
families live several miles from Calu
met, and one of the bodies was
brought from Copper City, eight miles
nway, for the funeral service. Tho
collection of the bodies proceeded with
difficulty In many Instances, parents
insisting that they would keep them a
little longer. One young woman whoso
three children died in the panic threw
herself upon the coffin of one of them
and fought to prevent It from being
taken away.
Several of the churches at which the
funeral services were to be held sus
pended their usual morning services.
At each church special seating arrange
ments were made for the relatives of
the dead. Even with these arrange
ments many mourners were unable to
gain admittance to tho churches. At
one of the Finnish churches tho serv
ices wore halted because of the fre
quent outbursts of grief.
All Factions Unite.
Shuddering still from the stunning
blow of the catastrophe, the people of
Ihe entire copper country and many
from outside points paid deep tribute
(o tho dead. All factions were united
for the time by the common sorrow
nnd bereavement as tho lifeless forms'
were laid nt rest in God's Acre and,
gathered about the long rows of yawn
ing graves as the caskets were low
ered Into the earth, a great multitude
breathed a prayer for the dead and a
petition for lasting peace in the dis
trict which has been stricken nearly
half the year of 1013. The catastrophe
and funeral of the victims brings to a
close n year of strife and of sorrow for
the Keweenaw peninsular towns, the
copper mining country, and there was
scarcely one In the vast multitude on
the bleak, snow covered hillsides nt
Lako View who did not wish that all
the sadness, all tho troubles, all the
dissension, might be burled with the
covering over of the graves of the
fifty-nine martyrs of the great strike.
Mingled in the crowds wero rich nnd
poor, (worker and idler, miner and
mine managers, all called out because
of a common nffiiction and n desiro to
pay tho last tribute to the departed.
The day was dark and dreary, but this
did not serve to keep the people in
doors. '
Tho funeral procession, headed by
fourteen hearses, three, death wagons
and one nutomobile truck, the latter
carrying three caskets and each of tho
vehicles one, marched to the strains of
a dirge played by a band of Finnish
miners of Mohawk. Immediately bo
hind the hearses marched the striking
miners, who bore the caskets of all
but three or four of the children, those
three or four being in the hearses.
The bodies of forty-four children and
fifteen adults were taken to tla ceme
tery, tho adults In hearses and the
children In death wagons.
THINK PATIENT A LEPER.
Brooklyn Man Suffered Fifteen Years
From Strange Disease.
New York, Dec. 20. It Is believed by
physlclaus of Bellevue hospital that a
man who applied for admission there
has leprosy. The patient was put In
the Isolation ward. Tests will bo made
to determine whether or not he Is n
leper.
As the board of health has held that
leprosy Is not contagious, tho patient
will not bo confined If It is found that
he has tho disease unless ho elects to
rpmain in the hospltnl. In that case
he probably will bo sent to 'the leper
colony at tho north end of Blackwell's
Island, where there aro now four lep
ers under the care of tho Metropolitan
hospital.

SPOUTING NOTES.
Young Matlicwson Being Taught
Fadeaway by Fnther. ,
" Big Six " Mathewson has hopes
of making a great twirler out of his
son, Christopher, Jr. A picture re
cently taken at Los Angeles, after
the Giants' famous pitcher had left
the members of tho New York team
who are on a tour around the world,
shows Matty teaching the youngster
how to handle his famous fadeaway
delivery. With this delivery Math
ewson has fooled all of the great
batsmen in tho National league, and
he thinks that it will be just as good
when the kid butts Into fast com
pany many years hence. As Matty,
Sr shows no signs of falling off In
his pitching ability there Is a chance
that ho will bo on the same team as
the youngster, when the latter final
ly breaks Into the big circuit.
MANY THOUSANDS GIVEN
CHRISTMAS DINNERS
It was estimated that 50,0u0 men,
women and children, all of them
practically penniless and many of
them homeless, wero treated to boun
tiful Christmas dinners In New York
city on Christmas. The Salvation
Army alone gave 25,000 dinners and
the Volunteers of "America, which
give all their dinners out In a basket,
provided for from 15,000 to 20,000.
In addition, hundreds of the home
less sat 'down before well laden tables
provided by numerous church and
charitable organizations in all sec
tions of the city. Not only were the
hungry well fed, but hundreds of the
Ill-clad were given warm winter
clothing.
MAKING TOYS A BIG INDUSTRY.
Berlin. The world's Toyland is
Germany, and Santa Claus' capital
and headquarters Is not at the North
pole but at Sonneberg (Sun Moun
tain,) a town In the Duchy of Meln
ingen, on the edge of the great Thur
ingian forest. Almost the entire
population of the city of 15.000 in
habitants is in the employ of Santa
Claus. Every house is a workshop
for Santa. Germany exported toys
to the value of $20,000,000 last year.
From the raids made on the shops by
Old Kris Kringle this year, the fig
ures are expected to reach between
?24,000,000 and $25,000,000.
Santn Generous Here.
Santa Claus Is more generous to his
little friends in the United States
than to the children of any European
country. Last year ho shipped 307
'carloads of toys from Sonneberg and
Nuremberg, to New York, Philadel
phia; Boston, Baltimore, Galveston
and San Francisco, from which cities
he distributed them to American
boys and girls all over the country.
That some complained to him about
being forgotten seems to bo the case,
for this year Old Santa shipped 320
carloads to America. America is
Germany's best toy customer. It took
this year considerably more than one
third of the total output of Santa's
workshops for the entire world.
America's toy bill for the year 1913
will approximate $8,000,000.
Tho toy Industry of Germany has
very little competition. In It are em
ployed thousands of men, women,
boys and girls. Tho centers of the
industry are thequaint old towns of
Sonneberg and Nuremberg. Nurem
berg is Santa's workshop for railroad
trains, tin soldiers, aeroplanes, air
ships, guns, cannon, swords, drums,
and countless other toys that on
Christmas gladaen the hearts of
countless kiddles. Sonneberg, how
ever, is the aristocratic capital of
Toyland. It is tho doll-shop of the
world, and where dolls of every
shade, clime and country are made.
Sonneberg also Is the Paris of Doll
Land, for Sonneberg sets fashions
and styles In dolls and all things per
taining to dolls, as arbitrarily as Par
Is sets the styles for the world of
fashion.
Little Fingers Work.
Thousands of deft little fingers
work In the millinery and dress-making
shops of Doll Land, designing and
making the latest in hats and gowns
and all that goes with the outfits of
Dolldom's elite. Tho tendency of
mama toward extravagance In dress
IS having its effect in Doll Land.
Dollies nowadays must be more beau
tiful than ever. Wealthy little misses
nowadays demand of Santa that he
bring them nlollies with as many
dresses as a Newport or Washington
society bell. Many of these elabor
ate outfits represont an outlay of
money that would keep several poor
children in comfortable clothing all
Winter.

A Christmas entertainment and a

"NATIONAL JIONOU." H
The reservation of questions of
tional honor from the sphere of fl
is as absurd as would be any cjH
responding limitation by individual
of their liability for tho acts befH
the law. It is as though a man wM
to say: " If I cdmmlt a theft, I JH
willing to appear beforo tho couH
and will probably pay tho penalty iH
manded, but If it is a question S
murder, then my vital Interests
at stake, and I deny altogether tfl
right of the court to Intervene." S
Is a reservation fatal to peace, S
could not be accepted If pleaded!
the bar of any International trlbunS
with the power to enforce its declfl
ions. "Imagine," says Edward Jenkfl
In his "History of Politics," "a moil
ern judge 'persuading' Mr. Wllllafl
likes to mako it up with tho relative!
of his victim, and) on his remalninl
obdurate, leaving tho two families tl
light the matter out." Yet that
what was In some degree done 19
England until mediaeval times as rel
gards Individual crimes, and it iH
what Is still done as regards natlon-i
al crimes, In so far as tho appeal td
arbitration Is limited and voluntary.
Tho proposals, therefore, lately
mooted In the United States, In Eng
land and. in France, to submit inter
national disputes, without reserva
tion, to an impartial tribunal, repre
sent In advance of peculiar signifi
cance. Havelock Ellis, In " The
War Against War."
