M
NEW HAVEN, .orin., March B.-An
hour after Che body of Lillian May Cook,
the 38-year-old stenographer of Virginias
J. Mayo, millionaire head of the Mayo
llftdlftkbf Cmnnnnv. hnd hen discovered
In a lonely spot on lop "West nock Moun
lain, four miles from Now Haven and
overlooking tho city yesterday afternoon.
a limousine arrived at the crest of the
hltl an,d -Mayo, accompanied oy Police
Cnptyjla Dh6rty, got out, He walked to
the. clfct? of people about the body, took
a look oVef thclC shOUldrrs and turned
atrny with his 'nands to his face. A
bullet had pierced the Rlrl'8 heart and
tinder her body lay a revolver with one
ihamber empty. For a week shcS had
been missing from this city.
There was a dramatic little story about
tho dead girl after bavins been melan
choly for a year. Uut nccompanylnc:
that story there Come to light another,
far more dramatic. Involving two living
women and a man.
It was rovealeU by an Investigation
of Miss Cook's life that Mayo, for four
years has been living a double life. He
has. been, maintaining a costly home on
Ufxwell avenue, this city, with n middle
aged, childless wife, nnd at the same time
has bps keeping up a still more ex
pensive home at SIS 4th st, Brooklyn,
with n. younger and attractive woman,
who has borne him two children. There
he Was known as Jam-fi Dudley and tho
woman as Mrs. Dudley. Until four years
ago she had been employed at Mayo's
factory In the samo position as Miss
Cock occupied later She then was known
as Lois Watcrbury.
XHRU KNEW OF DUAL LIFE.
Two years ago Miss Cook had been em
played as a nurseglrl at the homo of tho
Brooklyn woman. The girl knew of
Mayo's dual life and kept silent, suffer
ing under some sorrow of hor own, until
she, ended everything by suicide.
Just a short time before the girl's body
was found Mayo admitted to a police de
tective that ho was "James Dudley," of
the Brooklyn address.
''I am no angel," ho said. "I do not
pose as one. I have made my mistakes.
It would bo foolish of me to deny them,
because they are known to many living
here, but let me say that there was never
n better girl living- than Miss Cook. Thero
was absolutely nothing about our rela
tions that, could bo questioned, and any
rumor of "that kind that the absence of
the girl hns given rise to Is a terrible in
justice to her."
Captain of Detectives James M. Don
nelly, of the Now Haven police, who has
Investigated the case for a week, said
thero was no reason to doubt tho story
of tynyo.
The girl lived at the Y. W. C. A. here,
spent threq nights a. week at tho Butler
BUslness College, a few blocks away from
the X W. C. A., and was during the rest
of her time almost constantly In tho
company of Miss Ellen WllBon, her room
mate and fellow clerk at Mayo's factory.

PLEADS FOR SPIRtTUAI.
At the conclusion of the dramatic re
cital, "Billy" Jumped Into the lesson of
his sermon-. Ho compared the Ufa of
Nolan to that of the man or woman who
refuses to acknowledge allegiance to the
realm of the spiritual.
"Tho average man looks after his cit
izenship In the material world fairly
well," ho shld,, 'Vs far ns It applies to
temporal, material, personal gratification.
In tho world of dust and dollars tho aver
ago mnn lives most of his citizenship.
This Is all right. A mnn should look well
after his citizenship In tho world of tho
material. It Is n good world. It Is tho
best, I say It reverently, that oven God
could make. It Is not to bo despised
nnd hurried through. But tho man who
never gets beyond his cook, his tailor, his
barber, club or limousine Is nothing but
a refined animal.
"There Is the grcnter world of tho spir
itual. Just as real as the world of tho
material," continued Sunday. "The man
who lguures his citizenship In the world
of tho spiritual and spends his time nnd
energy nnd his citizenship in tho world
of tho material Is tho consummate Idiot
and fool of tho centuries."
Sunday asserted that "o. man may
swear away his citizenship In the world
of ilia spiritual, by one dramatic act, ns
oinn uiu. uy Jits love or money, by his
love of lust, by his unbelief or by allow
ing his spiritual nature to lie dormant
so long that all the best In him Is para
lyzed, so that he has no thoughts of God,
no prayer, no religious duties to per
form." In ctoslng, tho evangelist pleaded with
his audience to consecrate themselves to
Christ.
"Whenever you cancel your citizenship
in the world of tho spiritual you take the
crown from your brow, you dash tho
scepier irom your hand and slink back
with tho rest of the brutes," lie yelled.
"Christianity appeals to you to throttle
the animal In you and give the angel
n chance. It is nn appeal for you to
pray, to recognize that you nre a citizen
of two worldB, to prepare you for your
citizenship In the world of the eternal
by accepting Jesus Christ as your Sa
viour." Crowds began to assemble at tho
tabernacle this morning before 9 o'clock
In order to gain admittance for the
afternoon mectlntr. Not ninr ti, i..
days of tho campaign has there been
such a rush o women in the early hours
ut mu uiiernoon.
Tonight "Bill" will preach a great
salvation sermon, entitled "What Must I
Do to Be Saved?"
Tomorrow promises to be another great
day for the young folk. Sundny lias an

FIGHT OPENS TO CRUSH
LATEST TRANSIT FRAUD
After State's Attorney Ailing had con-fprt-.i
-h Coroner Ml today, Mayo
was summoned 'to appear before the local
Coroner Mix also examined Krnnk
Cook, the idcad girl's fafner. .and her
roommate at the local Y. AV. C. .A., Mis
Ellen Wilsons before he sent for Mayo.
Tho Coroner has ordered an autopsy per
formed. ,
Tho father Is confident this will show
no physical condition that might havo
promised tho girl to kill 'nerself.
"Lillian was one of the finest glrl3 In
tho world," ho said, "except that she was
BUbJect. to fits of deepest melancholia.
Wa never knew the cause of these. She
was aa pure and noble a girl as ever
lived. I am confident tho autopsy will
snow that It was her mental and not
her physical condition that caused Vicr
to take her life,"
Cook said his daughter had never told
him she knew Mayo as "Dudley," and
declared he was perplexed at her silence
In tho case.
OPENED WAIST FOft SHOT.
The body was found by Raymond Phil
lips, a 19-year-old youth who was search
ing a little way off the main road near
tho top of West Rock. Tho girl had
thrown open her blue chinchilla coat and
opened her shirtwaist beforo firing the
shot, placing the muzzle ngalnst her
heart, so that the bullet went straight.
From the condition of the body. It Is be
Iloved she had killed herself on the nfter
noon sho disappeared.
For a year Miss Cook h.nri hmn ,!,.
choly, and her friends all knew her as
an odd little gill. Tho fact that she had
been found killed with a revolver caused
no surprise. Tho day before she disap
peared the girl came Into the olTIce from
the factory with n revolver In her nana,
am going to kill myself with this."
Tho fact that the Mnys of Now Haven
was the "Dudley" of Brooklyn was made
known through a number of anonymous
letters sent to the police of New Haven
anil of Brooklyn and to several New
York newspapers. One letter said an in-
vtMHifauun wouiu snow tnis to be a
"second Itosers case."

As a result of the meeting, the Centrui

annual dance. This Is tho first ear in a
decado that It has been omitted.
That Sunday's Induction nimin.f i.
mum uu3iiitjjfa is oeannfe' rrult is again
indlcnted by a letter he received this
morning from the Philadelphia repre
sentatives of n New York liquor Arm
Thn writer of tho letter said he "nit

from Thomas V. Booze, of 5121 Folsom
street. West Philadelphia, that he and
his wife have named an Infant Bon "Wil
liam Sunday Booze." Mr. Booze ex
presses his hope that the baby may grow
up to be ns good a man as Mr. Sunday Is,
Following last night's meetlnc. which
was attended by Mayor Blankenburg and
more thnij K00 City Hah employes,
"Billy" wns surprised when a man who
had "hit; the trail" rushed up to tho
platform, grasped the evangelist's hand,
nnd told him that he had come 3100 miles
to hear him. and that he would find n.
check for $500 In the collection which ho
wanted Sunday to use for himself.
The preacher extended his thanks. An
other check for $1G0 wns presented to Mr.
Sunday by the Associated Councils of
the Roynl Arcanum of Philadelphia,
which wnB represented by about 150
members. The lodccmen also sent "Billy"
a beautiful now Bible.
OVATION FOR MAYOR.
Mnyor Blankenburg was given n great
ovatldTf'by the city employes when he
nrrvcl at the tabernacle. Ho was es.
cm ted to the platform by James Quirk,
his personal bodyguard. As soon as the
men saw him they began to cheer and
applaud It was only after "Hodcy" had
given tho signal to Pianist Ackley to be
gin to play "America" nnd tho nudlenco
had started to sing that quiet wns le
storcd. When the anthem had bopn sung nnd
tho Itov. T. W. Davis, the baseball
preacher and chaplain of tho State Senate
and of the Police Bnnd, bad offered
prayer, tho city employes again applauded
tho Mayor Just as loudly ns they had
greeted tho evangelist when he arrived.
Mr. RodehPaver asked tho Mayor to say
a fow words, and Mr. Blankenburg step
ped to the pulpit.
He spoke briefly, nsklng thnt those who
heard him live up to the words from the
22d chapter of Matthew; "Render, there
fore, unto Cnear the things thnt nre
Caesar's, and unto Ood tho things that
ore Ood's." He said:
"Let us live up to that, not only to
prepare for tho life to come, but to stand
up tor tho life vo live hero. I don't care
how high or low, rich, poor or able you
may be, try to do your part In tho world's
work."
He turned to Mr. Sunday and thanked
him for coming to Philadelphia nnd for
leading so many people from tho wrong
to the right path.
Tho cvanncllst repeated his famous ser
mon on "The Unpardonable Sin," which
ho preached Tuesday afternoon and even
ing. M Its closo thero was n rush of
"trail-hitters," and 47S men found their
way to tho "glory rows." Many of them
were city employes.

the spot once occupied by a bar, In an
abandoned saloon at Norrls and Richmond

Sylvester Successor Chosen
WASHINGTON, March 5. - Ray Pull
man. a Washington newspaper corre
spondent, v.us chosen chief of police to
da, succeeding Major Richard Sylvester,
retired.
A neighborhood feud, the outcomo of a
kids' scrap. In which tho families of piac
tlcally nn entire block are now In
volved, Is slinking iiulet-lovlng Olney to
Its very depths, and though theio Is 11
lull In the Btorm at tho pirsent moment,
the presence of a yellow boaid partition
erected between the porches of 141 and
4I.' Kafct Wyoming nvcnuo Is 11 constant
reminder to thoso who would forget of
tho rancor still lampant In tho bicnsts of
the participants.
It Is the "splto fence" or the "peace
wnll" depending altogether on which side
of tho fence you are
When little Jnmc.sy Tllley spit nt larger
Anna May Carlin, or when Anna May
beat Jnincsy nnd threw him Into the
stieet (depending, also, on your point of
viow) n match was applied to smoldering
neighborhood wrath, which nil tho king's
horses and nil tho king's men to sny
nothing of tho ofllcers on the bent and
sundry magistrates nnd Judges have been
powerless to extinguish.
It was the signal for "Up, fp, to
Arms," and lo tho residents foui d them
selves pnircd off Into two factions, with
Irs. Qeenral Matthow Carlin. 11 lender
of Amazonian proportions, on one sido
and Mrs. Admiral Arthur Tllley, smaller,
but no lens redoubtable, on tho other.
"Peace wall, sho calls it," Mrs. Tllley
hissed this morning over her Ironing
board ns sho spoko of the nctlvlty of
the enemy and her offspring, "but splto
fence Is what It really Is. She's put It
up. to shut her porch off from Mrs.
Christian PfolfTcr's, and If It wasn't for
the fact that It would make her parlor
too dark sho'a put up another on tho
other side, to cut off Mrs. John Beck
man. Thnt woman can't set along with
anybody.
"If you come home from church nnd
happen to stand and talk awhile, you
kiii w, llko women w III, what does Mrs.
Carlin or Anna May do but come to the
window and 'meow' llko cats at you. If
!ou walk down tho stieet her children
spit at j 011 nnd call you names, and she
loos, too. Hut tho climax enmo when
Anna May ran over my Jnmesy's legs
with nn express wagon, and hurt him so
that 1 had to treat him for three weeks.
"I overlooked nil this, however," con
tinued Mrs. Tllley, Itonlng vigorously,
until Anna lla and her brother actually
nttneked mo on tho street. They bent me,
and I couldn't get away from them.
A hile I was trying to defend myself,
Anna Mny's glasses fell off, and in swear
ing out her wnirant Mrs. Carlin said T
uns responsible for breaking them, but,
ns a matter of fact, one or the neighbors
told 1110 the) were already lnoken.
"On the same day that they attacked
me, Carlin waylaid mv husband and bent
him up with ,1 monkey wrench on his
way from our lawyer's. People biiw him
show tho monkey wrench to I.awrenco
Bonner, who lives up the stieet, and who
Is n friend of his. In politics, too."
Tho real animosity started. It seems,
when the Tlllcys and the Pfeiffers re-
ported tho Cnrllns to tho Hoard of Health
for getting into communication with tho
outside world whllo they weio supposed
to bo In quarantine, due to diphtheria in
tho family. The Pfeiffers. who live net
door to tho Cnrllns, had also been visited
ny mo dipntnerla germ, hut, according to
Mrs. Tllloy, they ostracised themselves, to
tho entire satisfaction of tho neighbor
hood. Slnco then the scrap has grown to
feudal proportions.
Bach sued the other, and when tho mat
ter came to Magistrate Renshaw's court
Mrs. General Carlin wiih bulwarked by
Mrs. Lawrence Benner, Mis. John Lovett
John Lovett and Sophie Ploss ns wit
nesses, while those who spoko for Mis.
Tllley were .Mrs. W. Hulton, Sirs. John

Tho enscs were quashed, and now tho
Tllleys havo begun a civil suit.

even when he talks in his own defense.
Skabutch wob seen going from door to

But Hkabutch raised a technical objec

that he was handling pans or better still,
putting handles on pans. lie Is somewhat
of a tinker or kitchen plumber, or per
hop both.
In arguing his own casa before Magis

Ab Skabutch didn't peem to have any

ha repaired the household articles with.
Then the prisoner produced a small

"I fix anything bad right away now

to go ahead and engage the enemy.
,Hut when they got closer, they threw
down their revolvers and gasped. The

along tho ground without an occupant.
The engine had evidently been started
by boys In the neighborhood who yearned
for a little excitement.
Trolley cars annoy Samuel Bench, and
when he hears the clanging of their bells
the noise exasperates him. He proved his

ALARM INTERRUPTS SERVICE
Firemen Leave Prayers to Answer
Call of Duty.
Firemen of engine company No. 0 and
truck 13 were Interrupted In their weekly
prayer meetlng.by a telephone nlarm for a
small llro on tho roof of Convention Hall
today. Tho men were on the second floor
of the tlrehouse, bowed In prajer con
ducted by the Rev. Dr. F. F. Hann, of
the Cookmnu Methodist Episcopal Church,
when the alarm camo In. The devotional
service was not allowed to Interfere with
duty, and the .men were at their places
on the apparatus In record time.
The blaze was confined to the comer of
the toof, where It, aturtedWvhen a spark
from a portable forge set fire to the tar
paper. The damage is slight, Nearly 100
members of tho Meadowbroak Hunt Club,
who were lu one of the 100ms In the ha)l,
ware thrown Into a nanlc hpfn ir was
learned there was no danger.

Continued from I'nge One
nance was signed by me on the ath
and everything seemed to go along
smoothly and harmoniously.
But lo, nnd behold! by the papers
of February D and 10, we nre suddenly
Informed that Senntor McNIchol is
opposed lo the building of the business
delivery loop. He declares this would
be nn unwarranted expenditure and
should bo postponed until all the other
proposed lines have been completed.
And presto! after this declaration by
Senator McNIchol, a sumion nnu cum
pleto change takes place In tho at
titude of the organisation members of
Councils, ns shown by tho Connetly-SeBer-Costello
"Joker" ordinance In
troduced several weeks ago nnd pnBsed
yeslcrdav What an unaccountnbto
change on the part of our City
Fathers!
I do not care to niako further com
ment nt the present time.
John Q. Johnson hns declared the omis
sion of the subway delivery loop from tho
Broad street subway plan to be a legal
(law In the plan. Two weeks ago, whan
It first became known thnt tho Organiza
tion lind planned to 1:111 the loop nt all
costs, Director Taylor declared:
"1 now wurii the people of North and
South Philadelphia thnt tho passage of
hn ordinance will defeat tho construction
of the Broad street subway."
"I," KXTKNSION INVALIDATES.
Tho extension of the Frnnkford cleVatod
to Rhawn street through three mllca of
open country Instead of ending at Bridge
street, ns Intended by the Taylor iplan,
nlono lit destructive of tho entire program
for real rapid transit, It has been shown
by Dliector Tnlor.
It wns known that tho Public Service
Commission would nover approve the con
struction of nn elevated lino from Bridge
I lo Rhawn street through sparsely set
tled farm lands Tho refusal of tho Com
mission to approve tills part of tho plan,
ns the ordinance now stands, wilt be fatal
to tho entire scheme, including tho em
ployment of the $6,000,009 loan for any
rapid transit development.
Uxposlng the trickery In this feature of
tho Organization scheme, John O. John
son said:
"There would be n lack of Rood faith
In obtaining the popular consent to tho
creation of a loan to build a railway
which the city authorities know cannot
be constructed and Is not Intended nt tho
present tlmo to bo constructed."
Pointing a warning finger against tho
dangers which lay In this scheme, City
Solicitor Ryan, In his opinion made public
yesterday, said:
"It Is, of course, to bo bomo In mind
that the money once being borrowed In
pursiinnco of a popular vote cannot be di
verted from tho use Indicated In tho
oilglnal ordinance, and If that purpose
should prove to be Impracticable or Im
possible of fulfilment, much delay, as
well ns a partlnl exhaustion of the city's
borrowing power, would ensue."
TAYLOR STUDIES SITUATION.
Mayor Blankenburg, when asked this
morning whether he would veto or np
provo tho ordinance as It now stands,
replied thnt ho had nothing to say at the
present time.
Director Taylor likewise refused to com
mit himself upon his futuro course, do
clnrlng that he wanted to study tho
Councllmanlc ordlnanco from overy possi
ble anglo beforo making any public state
ment. It Is generally understood In administra
tion c I roles that the Mayor will refuse to
approve tho trick ordlnnnce. While n veto
would mean delay, and delay would be
exactly suited to the piogram of tho Or
ganization, nevertheless it li understood
that tho Mayor will sanction delay rather
than nppiove a subtle trick which, It has
been declared, would hand over the city,
bound hand nnd foot, to the Philadelphia
Rapid Trnnslt Company.
Director T10I01 early this week declared
that should the ordinance pass In tho
foun It was first reported from the
Finance Commlttco ho would go into
every wmd of Philadelphia nnd ask for
its defeat at tho epeclnl election. While
Councils removed one "Joker," the change
mndo In the entire ordlnanco Is so timing
that It Is not believed Dliector Taylor
will alter his position.
Should tho Mayor veto the bill and tho
Organization attempt to pass It over his
veto, a thrce-llftha majority of the mem
bers w'lll be required. In Common Coun
cil this will mean 61 members nnd In Se
lect 29.
As any delay would delight the Organi
zation, whoso whole program had been
to prevent real rapid transit from becom
ing n reality in tho present Administra
tion, tho Councllmen's action upon tho
Mayor's veto Is doubtful.
In tho anomalous position which tho
obstructionists have forced It was ob
served today that their wish for delay
coincides, strangely enough, with tho
transit fighters' demand for the defeat of
tho ordinance, it was declared tho do
feat of tho present ordlnanco would please
them because It would Insure delay of
several moro months nnd probably carry
over tho plans, still unsettled, until Coun
cils meet again In tho fall.
To defeat the present ordinance and
to forco Councils to adopt on ordinance
providing for real rapid transit will mean
the hardest fight of the entire campaign
for real transit Improvement.

WAR TOLD IN "MOVIES"
Evening Ledger's Wonderful Pictures
Coming to Forrest Theatre.
Tho Eveninq LRDaEn's wonderful war
pictures, which will be shown as an ad
junct to the Illustrations published dally
in this paper, will be exhibited at the
Forrest Theatre next week. The first
showing will bo at 2:30 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Thero are altogether 7500 feet
of film, and fully 1000 feet are devoted to
depleting the German Kaiser on the bat
tle line. These Pictures nre unnupsHnn.
ably tho best that have been taken of the
war. They grip one and hold the atten
tion from start to finish.
One nlm depicts a body of Germans
crossing a long stone bridge under fire
from the Allies. One can see both the
Oermans and the Allies at one and the
same time. The Germans gallop across
madly Jn nn effort to escape the llro of
the enemy.
Another sensational film shows an
armored train of the Belgians In action,
One sees the long-distance guns loaded
with shells, A flag Is waved and the
guns nro fired in unison,
One of the quieter but equally Interest
ing pictures shows .Antwerp fugitives
tramping along a highway. There are
all sorts and conditions of men, women
and children. One mother Is seen coax
ing her young hopeful along while ho
hangs back holding to the end ot her
apron string.
There Is that spot in a garden of Melle,
Belgium, where flvo German ofllcers He
buried. The Belgian owner of the ground
was given a revolver and ordered ua he
valued his life to guard their grave and
keep it from being harmed.
