MISS McCANR'S BODY FOUND.
Cast Vv b- tar f at Coney Ten
Fret From Where Last Seen.
The body of Miss Jessie Kvelyn McCann
has been found. The high waves of yes
terday morning washed It high on the
shore at Coney Island not ten feet from
where she was last seen alive late In the
afternoon of December I.
The identification Is absolulp. Al
though the body li in such shape that It
did not aid the Identification, three pieces
ef Jewelry, the shoes and almost all the
clethlng that was left are those worn by
the young woman when she disappeared
a month ago. Her brother, father, uiotlier
and sister made tlio Idcnlltlc-itlon.
Coroner's Physician Georite L. Hefners
made an autopsy late In the day. II raid
that death was due to drowning and that
there were no signs of Miss McCann hav
ing been the victim of violence. He also
aid that the uutopsy proved that there
was no physical reason why she should
desire death.
The police believe that Miss McCann
Id commit suicide, although the family
aid last nlsht they believe her death was
an accident. The police believe that the
fact that Miss McCann was III and ner
vous, the fact that she met death at a
pot remote from her home und where she
was not In the habit of going make a logi
cal conclusion that she killed herself.
Itobcrt McCann. Jr.. refused to make a
statement yesterday, but his sister Kthel,
It years old, said the Identification is be
rand any chance for doubt.
Deatli Thought Accidental.
"Wo do not believe that Sis committed
Ulelde," she raid hesitatingly. "We be
lieve It was an accident: that she went
down to look at tho ocean and get the
fresh air, and that while sitting on tho
rocks shc.trlDoed and fell over. She may
have struck her head on a rock and
drowned without any one near to help her
out."
The body was discovered at 7:10 A. M.
by George Neusse, a watchman at Sea
sld I'a'k. It had been cast up by the
. cs during the high tide ot the night
and v.a out of reach of the morning tide,
it njs a few feet fiotn tho shelter house
on the ocean side ot the park about mid
way between Hie Parkway Hatha and the
municipal baths,
Neusse called Policeman John J. Kclll
her and the body was ent to tho morguo
attached to the Coney Island Hospital
Tlnro It was searched for marks through
uhlch It could be Identified. The possl
bllltv of It being Miss McCann struck Ktl

MOTHER JONES DRIVEN OUT.
Mltltarr Officials Deport Her
Force from Trinidad) Col.
Dk.vvkb, Jan. 4. Mother Jones was
forcibly deported from the coal strike
district after her arrival at Trinidad
this morning from Kl Tnso.
On orders of Gen. Chase, Capt. E. A.
.Smith i.ltli a detachment met her at the
station, took her from a Santa Fe train,
kept her under surveillance until a Colo
rado nnd .Southern train for Denver ar
rived, and then put her aboard that.
Lieut. It. O. Nichols nnd four soldiers
accompanied her to Denver.
"1 ill-l not think you would dare go this
far," she told Capt. Smith. The troops
formed n cordon around her nnd mnrched
her to n hotel. She received breakfast, but
was not allowed to speak to tiny one of
the strikers.
Jutt before the Denver train's arrival
she; 172.-. matched back to tlio station and
again surrounded by soldiers. Sho hnd
meant to make a speech to-day nt a mass
meeting of strikers at Walsenburg. When
the Denver train reached that city a
large crowd wns wnltlng at the station.
The strikers had been apprised by tele
phone of her deport.ttlon.
The stop at Wulscuburg was brief.
Mother Jones started to make a speech
through an open window. The crowd was
kept at a distance. As the train pulled
out she was saying:
"I expect to visit you again when
Colorado Is made part of the United
States, but now "
"I'm going back In two days," she de
clared here to-night. "This Is a free,
country."
HAN SWEETEST IN ANGER
SAYS A HARVARD DON
Itafrc nnd Fear. Declares Prof.
W. 11. Cameron, Have IJcne
ficial HesnlK
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 4. A lecture on
the unusual subject, "Rodlly Kffcetn of
Pear and Hage," was given at tlio Har
vard medical school tills afternoon by
Prof. W. H. Cameron, during the course
of which he announced as one conclusion
derived from experiments that "man is
sweetest when he Is angry."
This paradoxical statement, the lecturer
said, is allowed to stand because of the
fact that the experiments have shown that
the emotional activity caused by rage and
fear cause a marked Increase of sugar In
the blood of the body.
Prof. Cameron sliowid that tho emo
tions In human beings were very similar
to those In nniriats. There arc four note
worthy result of the emotional evlt.nient
caused by rage and fk-ar. and these results
are evident in both man and lowi-r
animals. Most of the tests havo been
made by means of the .-rny principally
on the dog und cat.
The first result Is n cessation of action
In the stomach nnd Intestines anil tho
flow of the gastric Juices; tho second Is
an Increased discharge of adrenalin, the
fluid product of tho adrenal gland : the
third Is the dotting of tho blood, nnd the
fourth Is the marked Increase of sugar
In the blood, as mentioned above.
These are Immediate reactions to outer
conditions nnd are reflex responses, not
thoe of the will. Theso Involuntary
changes caused by emotional crises have
all proved useful In different ways to the
body, so froip a physiological standpoint
nt least It may be Inferred that rago and
fear are to some extent beneficial.
When digestion Is stopped, for Instance,
the blood Is carried In larger quantities
to other organs and thereby aids In pre
venting organic diseases. Tho Increase
of sugar Is an Immediate source of mus
cular energy. Tho common knowledge
that chocolate nnd other sweets have
nutritious qualities Is based on this fact.
Moreover, the discharge of the adrenalin
fluid quickly relieves muscular fatigue,
and it has nlso been known In great
emotional crises to have been the source
of the sudden cure ot chronic diseases.
The clotting of blood Is tho fourth ad
vantage, a very evident one, though more
accidentally beneficial than the others. It
is while In tho stnte of fear or anger that
one Is most likely to receive bodily wounds
and the quick clotting of the blood pre
vents loss of blood.
Of theso four principal results of the
emotions rage and fear on tho bodily con
dition the discharge of tho nlrcnalln seems
to be tho most beneficial. The same effect
as that produced on tho nervous system
by theao emotions may be obtnlncd by nn
injection of the drug adrenalin Into tho
blood.

lNEW "STRONG ARMS"
TO SCATTER ROWDIES
Mayor Mitchcl Orders Immedi
ate Action to Mfikc the
Streets Safe.
WAR OX PICKPOCKETS TOO
Forty Plain Clothes Men to Keep
Watch in Subways nnd
Elsewhere.
"Make tho streets safe. Arrest the
pickpockets nnd rowdies. If you can't
Jail them make the city too unpleasant
for them to live In. And start now."
Tills Is a fair paraphrase of Instructions
which Mayor Mltchel has given to Police
Commissioner McKay.
McKay and his deputies already have
worked out a plan of action. Tho result
will be the establishment, possibly to-day
of the first special Headquarters squad to
clear tho streets of thieves and other birds
of prey since tho dlBbnndmcnt of Lieut.
Charles ltecker's strong arm crew.
It will consist of about forty policemen
In plain clothes, picked for their sharp
eyes, good memories for the countenances
of crooks, good records In the department
and likewise, for proficiency In rough and
tumble scrapping men who will be ex
pected, not to pick fights, but to be ready
or them; the strong arm governed by
Intelligence.
McAdoo Promise Aid.
The Police Magistrates have been asked
for whole hearted cooperation. It has
bcn promised by Chief Magistrate Will
iam McAdoo and the others will help.
Maglstratu McAdoo favors Jail sentences
for ull pickpockets, even for those plead
InK first offence. He says that to fine
them Is folly, for to a successful thief a
fine means nothing.
Always In the holiday season the thieves
of the streets Increase greatly In numbers
ind boldness. Among the Magistrates
there is difference of opinion as to whether
or not recent sidewalk and car crime has
been more pronounced than In other years,
but they ngiee that on trolley ears and In
the subway, around the moving picture
theatres, on the elevated nnd wherever
else crowds gathered It certainly has been
an open season for the nimble fingered
pickpocket. Every newspaper ottlce has
heard of casis unreported to tho police.
Mayor Mltchel uses the subway nearly
every day. I'ndoubtedly cases ot "Jos
tling," sometimes amounting to no more
than that, sometimes a real pocket pick
ing episode, have come under his own ob
servation. The police, who havo been ex
pected to havo eyes for everything since
the abolition of the special squad which
watched for thieves, have done the best
they could. Hut for a long time they
have complained .that even if they saw the
theft or attempted theft It Is of little ue
to arrest the thief unless there were two
or three other witnesses, for tho Mails
ratcs often demand more than a police
man's woid.
I'sually the victim of the pickpocket
mu't appear ns the complainant, the dlfll
culty of which procedure lies In the fact
that tho pickpocket works no skilfully that
In most cases the victim doesn't know he
has been robbed.
Nome Magistrate neiirlmand."
When a policeman steps up with a prlv
oner and says, "1 saw him rob you, and
the vlotlm finds that his roll Indeed Is
gone, he Is quite iiweiy to uincve me police
man, but he can't swear In court tsjat the
prisoner Is the man who did It. And It
there Is no complainant in court to make
positive Identification tho worst that tho
prisoner can be charged with usually Is
disorderly conduct.
Some Magistrates are very lenient even
If guilt is clearly Indicated, Imposing
$10 fines or even letting the culprit oft
"with a reprimand."
That Is the pollco view. The Magis
trates always say that they are eager to
punish when the proof Is clear, nnd If
guilty men get away It Is because the po
liceman bungles his evidence.
Thero certainly Is a general Impression
that tho police light against pickpockets
ha3 not been very keen since the late In
spector McCafferty ruled tho detective
bureau and that they have not tackled so
many rowdies since It was made plain
that a policeman would be held jcsponsl
bio for any Injury done with his club.
I.lbr Vil en, Hays Mnulstrnte.
This Is what Chief .Magistrate McAdoo
said yesterday:
"I nm positively ngalnst fining pick
pockets. If 1 were to flno one I should
feel as If 1 had gonu Into partnership with
him to rob the joor. Jail sentences should
be. dealt out In all enses where guilt is
shown.
"The most dangerous criminal In the.
city to-duy Is tho young tough botweon
tho ageu of 10 nnd 25 years. Few of them
am more than 23. They are like wolves,
roving the streets after dark.
"Thero Is also a set of lawyers who pro
tcct them. Their faces uie known In
every Magistrate's court. Many young
women ate members of tho gangs. I call
thn a trust because all theso young
crooks seem to be together and to have
the same lawyers. Thero is a condition
that must bo dealt with at once and se
verely.
"My advice as Magistrate and former
Police Commissioner would be to pick out
forty or fifty poltcomen of known reputa.
tlon nnd fitness to he assigned every night
between 10 P. M. and 0 A. M. to clear the
streets of thov) nlghthawks.

There are 700,000 men and women In
New York under 36, most of them
under 30, who nre not married, nnd so
far ns appearances go do not Intend to
get married. Such Is the opinion of the
Itev. Dr. George It. Van Do Water or
St. Andrew's Kplscopal Church, Harlem,
who In his sermon yesterday advocaUd
social centres, by the city If need be; to
bring theje young people together.
The rector said there are 130 divorces
a day In this country, nnd ho atgucd that
If more attention were given to marriage
there would bo fewer dlorccs. He
thought that people after marriage or
before ought to bo Instructed and en
couraged In tho matter of children, for
he said that children hnvo prevented
mnny a separation.
Tho trreat problem before New York,
said the rector, is this matter of social
relations under proper conditions of joung
men and young women. The churches
provide In part for this social life, but not
adequately. Thousands who need social
Ufa most do not go near the churches.
I)r. Van De Wnter said later that It
wns his Idea to bring young people to

Skipper of Manuel Calvo
Sends Word of the Wreck
The Sun received the following
message this morning from Capt.
Bonet of the Spanish steamer Manuel
Calvo:
"I sighted the oil steamer at 4 P. M.
She was then 4pwn by the stern. I
drew close to try and rescue the crew.
I had a boat lowered, but it was lost
without the rescue having been ef
fected. The crew of the boat was
saved, but some, of them were seri
ously injured.
"The steamer is fifty-seven miles
southeast of Sandy Hook. When
night fell I withdrew from the wreck
because her position was a peril to
navigation. BONET."
Out of tho ferment to tbe north of her
courso the Spanish liner Manuel Calvo,
plunging through the seas off the Vir
ginia coast bound to this port from
Mexico and Cuba, caught the wireless dis
tress call of a steamship about noon cs
terday. Cnpt. Donet headed for the position
given by the distressed eklpper and Just
before nunwl was within hailing distance.
At that time the wlrele?." equipment of
the steamship, which was probably the
German oil cirrler Pennoll. Capt. Hreek
woldt, had gono by the board. Her
engines had stopped and sho wits wallow
ing In the trough of tho sea.
As the Manuel Calvo's captain knew
little English and the-men aboard the tank
were unable to understand Spanish com
munication was by pantomime, and even
If they had been nblo to understand each
other otherwise It la Uoumtm u rney
could have been heard above the sea's
tumult.
Kinctly what happened after the Manuel
Calvo came within hailing distance was
not told In the Kevural wlrulei-s messages
iwnt out from tho Spanish Unci.
She had a catgu of petroleum and was
bjunrt from Port Arthur., Tex., by way of
Dover. Del., for Liverpool. All her boats
had been canted uway In her battle with
the combers nnd her captain or the officer
in chargo eo Indicated by signals.
Volnuterra for Lifeboat.
This Information impelled the Spaniard
to call for volunteors to man a lifeboat
and take the mighty risk of rescuing tho
oil tank's crow. In charge of one of the
ottlcers. the lifeboat waa lowered on tho
lee sldo of tho ship.
It had hardly struck ths water When
it was flung against the steel wall and
Mnashed to flinders. All the boat's crew
were hauled ntxmrd by lines thrown hy
their shipmates. Three of them wore quite
seriously hurt and were sent to the hos
pital. Tho sea hnd grown wilder and tho
Spaniard, seeing thnt the launching of an
other boat would merely result tn Its de
struction and tho loss of the boat's crew,
was forced to content himself with stand
Ing by.
Night camn on and It was noticed that
tho electrical equipment of the tank was
out of commission. This mado It very
dlftlcult for tho Manuel Calvo to keep the
wreck in view, Cnpt. Donet ordered his
wireless operator to call for assistance.
Among those who responded to his dis
tress signals wer the lloyal Mall liner
Caribbean, on her way from Bermuda
to this port, nnd tho Whlto Star freighter
Ocorglc, which ran far out of her course
to assist In suocorlng tlio men of tho
tank.
The revenue nutter Seneca was also
heading for the Pennll.

Tho first message sent out by Capt.
Donet said explicitly he did not know
the name ot the tank, as ho could not get
near enough to decipher tho name on
her bow and ns the largor name on her
stern wns completely submerged, that part
of tho ship being covered by the seas up
to her tnffrall.
One of the messages which Donet sent
to this city said that he had sighted tlio
oil tank at 4 o'clock in the nfternoon and
that sho was down by thn stern, He
tmtna'uvrod his ship, went to the wind,
