Will Fix Time of Death Follow*
ing Self-Destruction of
James Delay
LONDON, Dec. 13. —A reward of 125
ha* been offered for thg wrist watch
worn by Mm. Sidney Nowill, whose
body was washed up by the ocean at
Cornwall. Mrs. No will wore the watch
when she disappeared. The position
of the hands of th« watch, It is be
lieved, will show whether she ended
her life before James Arthur Delay
committed suicide, if she was dead at
the time Delay hsnsed himself in the
hotel at Newquay, then the codicil to
hts will giving 9150,000 to her is void,
and this sum will revert to his residu
ary estate.
The reward stipulates that the
uatch must not have been tampered
with. If the hands of the watch point
to a time near that which Mrs. Nowlll
left the hotel, It will be assumed that
she died the same day,- and conse
quently before he did. The position of
'.he hands may show that death did not
occur until some time the next morn
ing, In which case the contention will
lie made that she died after Delay,
and a legal flght will result for the
5150,000.
Delay, who hanged himself in the
Atlantic hotel at Newquay, amassed a
fortune at Singapore. He ended his
life after searching for Mm. Nowlll,
who left the hotel some hours before
Mm. Delay, It has been learned, fol
owing the divorce of a woman In New
York, married her, and then killed
lilmself, because of his love for Mm.
Nowlll, whose body was found at the
foot of Newquay cliffs on November
23.
Widow Will Not Return Here.
Delay, a lawyer, about thirty-four
years old, married Mary Leslie In
New York on November 1, 1911. She
had been th« wife of Edward Young,
of New York, who divorced her.
Mrs. Delay Is a fascinating little
woman of the Spanish type, about 30
years old.
“Will you return to New York now?*'
the New York American correspondent
asked her today.
“Never, never, never!" cried Mrs.
Delay, positively shrieking the words
us she became semi-hysterical.
“f have no plans, no plans. They
rll have been so cruel to me: so
cruel!"
She kept repeating "so cruel" and,
anally, burnt Into almost uncontroll
able weeping. She would not explain
what she meant by "so cruel."
Mrs. Delay lives in an Inexpensive
flat In the heart of fashionable Bramp
ton. She disappeared from her home
after the tragedy. In which her hus
band was suoh a sinister figure, bo
ram# known, but returned to her home
today.
A young man who did not tell who
he was, was with her. Almost weep
ing, he tried to soothe her and arouse
her from her paroxysms of grief, but
it was In vain.
Marriage Unknown to Family.
Delay's lawyers made public his will
today, and also made the astounding
announcement that the dead man’s
marriage In New York was utterly
unknown to his family. He left an
estate worth about $353,445.
In a codicil of his will, written in
his bank In Pall Mall and dated as
recently as September 9. 1912, he left
$150,000 to Mrs. Nowlll. writing:
"I beg her to kOeept this sum as a
slight token of the high admiration,
esteem and gratitude for the friend
ship she has shown me during the last
eighteen months. ,

FAVORS WHIPPING
IN ALL SCHOOLS
Professor Meeker, of Princeton,
So Telb American Prison
Association'
BALTIMORE. Md.. Dec. 18.—Tha\ pri
vate and parochial achools should be
under public supervision and that pub
lic school teachers should have the
right to whip recalcitrant pupils are
two of the opinions expressed by Prof.
Meeker, of Princeton university. In an
address before the American Prison
association on the “Connection of Our
School System and Our Prison System.”
In regard to the first proposition the
professor said:
“All private and parochial schools
must be subjected to complete public
supervision. If ths work dons by
these schools Is thoroughly comtnend
able they should welcome Inspection,
superintendence and the requirements
to c< me up to prescribed standard*.
"If they are not doing this work
(and I know that very many are not),
they must be compelled to do as good
work as our reformed and revivified
public schools, or shut up shop. I
shall be ussailed as ths enemy of the
private and paroohlal schools. I am
not. I am however, the enemy of
sloppy, muddle-headed, pointless edu
cation w herever found. If we can ex
terminate this brand of education we
shall deal a blow dtreotly at pauper
ism. crime and mental deficiency."
In regard to the right to whip, Prof.
Meeker made this observation:
"Laws forbidding taachera to ad
minister corporal punishment are un
wise. A potential whipping la a
mighty force 'for moral uplift. It
need scarcely ever be transformed Into
kinetic energy. The person who can
not be trusted with the* authority to
whip Ja not fit to be a teacher."
HEADACHY, BILIOUS,
UPSET? "CASCAHETS’'
BILIOUS, THROBBING HEADACHE
MEANS BOWELS ARE CLOGGED
AND LIVER STAGNANT.
You’re bilious, you have a throb
bing sensation In your head, a bad
taste in your mouth, your eye# burn,
your skin is yellow, with dark rings
under your eyss; your Ups are
parched. No wonder you fesl ugly,
mean and 111-tempered. Your system
Is full of bile not properly passed off.
and what you need is a cleaning up
Inside. Don’t continue being a bilious
nuisance to yourself and thoee who
love you, and don’t resori to harph
physics that Irritate and Injure, lie
member that most disorders of the
stomach, liver and intestines can be
quickly cured by morning with gentle,
thorough Casoarets— they work while
you sleep. A 10-cent bog from your
druggist will keep your liver and bow
els olean; stomach sweet and your
head clear for months. Children love
to take Oasoareta, because they taste
good and never gripe or slekea.
