Public Memorial in New
York, Where Body Halt
i ed, Simple But Earnest
NEW YORK, April 23—Services
as simple as his wholesome life, at
tended the tributes paid here today
to Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain).
New York City was the last stopping
place in the dead author's last Jour
ney, as bis body was brought here
This morning from bis home at Red
ding, Conn., where he died, to be
taken to Elmira for burial.
But It was here that the chief ex
pression was to be found of the lov
ing regard In which he was held by
the American people. The Brick
Presbyterian church at Fifth avenue
and Thirty-seventh street was se
lected for the funeral service this
afternoon. Two close friends of Mr.
Clemens were chosen to speak
eulogies. They were Rev. Dr. Henry
Van Dyke, professor of English lit
erature, Princeton university, and
Dr. Joseph Twltchell, of Hartford.
In keeping with the known senti
ments of Mr. Clemens the program
Included no vocal music and no pall
bearers. Two organ selections, brief
prayers and the few words of eu
logy constituted the service.
Attending the services were repre
sentatives from the Lotus and Auth
ors and Players clubs, prominent
publishers and <*ditors, eminent mem
bers of the bench and bar and liter
ary men and women of note. The
Brick church was by no means large
enough to accommodate those who
desired to see for the last time the
face of the beloved author.
REDDING. Conn., April 23.—The
Tillage of Redding was In deep
mourning today for its benefactor
and friend. Mark Twain, who endear
ed hmself by his kindly nature and
generosity. All business was sus
pended and the villagers and farmers
from the surrounding bills paid their
last tributes to the dead.
The body, dressed in the white
flannel he so constantly wore In the
later years of his life, was placed in
a plain mahogany casket this morn
ing and taken to the train which con
veyed It to New York.
Many messages of comfort were
received by Mrs. Ossip Gabrllowitsch,
Mark Twain's only living daughter.
Among them were telegrams from
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt. A message was also re
ceived from the authorities of Han
nibal, Mo., asking that Mr. Clemens’
body be brought there for burial.
Mrs. Gabrllowitsch. in reply, said
•that as the family burinl grounds
were In Klmlra, N. Y., it whs thought
best that the body be taken there.
The body was taken to the station at
10 o’clock by Mr. and Mrs. Gabrllo
witsch. Albert Bigelow Paine and
servants who have been In Mr.
Clemens' service for many years.

PARIS, April 23.—Theodore
Roosevelt delivered his eagerly
awaited lecture on "Citizenship in a
Republic” in the Sorbonne this after
noon. His audience was composed of
all the members of the French cab
inet, students selected from the Uni
versity of Pairs, and many distin
guished guests by whom the occa
sion was regarded as the most im
portant feature of the distinguished
American’s visit to France.
In the course of his address Mr.
Roosevelt made reference to the sub
ject of hnman rights and property
rights.
"My position as regards the
monied interests,” said the former
president, "can be put in a few words.
In every civilized society property
rights must be carefully guarded. Or- |
dtnarlly, and in the great majority of
cases, human rights and property
rights are fundamental and in the
long run identical, but when it
clearly apepars that there is a real
conflict between them, human rights
must have the upper hand. Proper
ty belongs to man, and not man to
property.”
Mr. Roosevelt spent the early part
of the day in the old Latin quarter,
across the Seine, which for centuries
has been one of the intellectual cen
ters of the world. At 1 this after
noon, in his capacity as the foreign
member of the French Institute, he
attended a regular session of the
academy of moral and political sci
ences. At 3 o’clock he delivered his
lecture in the grand amphitheatre of
the Sorbonne, where he was most
cordially received and his remarks
followed with intense interest.
PARIS, Aurll 23.—In his lecture
today at The Sorbonne, Col. Roose
velt spoke on individual citizenship
in the republics of France and the
United States. In part he said:
"With you here, and with us in
my own home, in the long run, suc
cess or failure will be conditioned
upon the way in which the average
man, the average woman, does his or
her duty, first in the ordinary, every
day affairs of life, and next in those
great occasional crises which call for ,
the heroic virtues. The average citi
zen must be a good citizen if our
republics are to succeed. The stream
will not permanently rise higher
than the main source; and the main
source of national power and nation
al greatness is found in the aver
age citizenship of the nation. There
fore it behooves us to do our best
to see that the standard of average
citizenship is kept high; and the
average cannot be kept high unless
the standard of the leaders is very
much higher.
"It is well if a large proportion of
the leaders in any republic, in any
democracy, are, as a matter of
course, drawn from the classes rep
resented in this audience today; but
only provided that those classes
possess the gifts of sympathy with
plain people and of devotion to great
ideals. You and those like you have
received special advantages; you
have all of you had the opportunity
for mental training; many of you!
have had leisure; most of you have
had a chance for the enjoyment of,
life far greater than comes to the
majority of your fellows. To you
and your kind much has been given,
and from you much should be ex
pected.
"It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the
doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood; who strives valiant
ly; who errs, and comes short again
and again, because there is no ef
fort without error and shortcom
ing; but who does actually strive to
do the deeds; who knows the great
enthusiasm, the great devotions: who
spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows In the end the
triumph of high achievement, and
who at the worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who know neither
victory nor defeat. Shame on the
man of cultivated taste who permits
refinement to develop In a fastidious
ness that unfits him for doing the
rough work of a workaday world.
Among the free people who govern
themselves there is but a small field
of usefulness open for the men of;
cloistered life who shrink from con-1
tact with their fellows. Still less

ARRANGED FOR CREMATION.
Woman, Planning Suicide, Paid
Undertaker in Advance.
JERSEY CITY, April 23 —
Threatened with blindness, Mrs.
Josephine A. Weldon decided last
Friday to end her life. She went to
an undertaker and paid him $69 for
the cremation of the “body of a
friend.” she said, “who was ill and
probably would die.”
Mrs. Weldon went to her room in
a boarding house last night, placed
a gas tube in her mouth and turned
on the gas. Her body was found to
day. She left a note to the under
taker, leting him know that it was
for the creamation of her own body
that she had made arrangements.
NEW YORK, April 23.—Albert
Wolter, a youth of 19 years who
gloated over lewd pictures and was
“crazy” about women, must die in
the electric chair for the murder of
Ruth Wheeler.
After one hour and fifty minutes
of deliberation a Jury in the court
of special sessions found him guilty
of murder in the first degree at 10:30
o’clock tonight, bringing to a close
a trial marked by its swift move
ment and its testimony of horror.
The boy’s counsel with eloquence
declared that Wolter was too tender
hearted to harm a cat, but twelve
men decided tonight he had strangled
Ruth Wheeler and thrust her while
yet alive in his fire place, soaked with
oil, where her crumpled body writh
ed and burned.
With the same wax face indiffer
ence he had shown tnroughout the
trial, Wolter listened to the verdict. |
With almost inhuman complacency
he had been found asleep in his cell
whue the jury was deliberating.
He will be sentenced Wednesday.

Testimony of Nurse Un
der Cross Examination
is Considered Weakened
KANSAS CITY, April 23.—Dr.
Hyde’s attorneys were well pleased
with developments in the cross ex
amination of Miss Anna Houlihan,
nurse, which took place this morn
ing. Hhn Houlihan admitted that
she did not nee Dr. Hyde administer
| the capsule to Chrisman Swope on
December 5th, the day the patient
' had his first convulsion.
Practically all of the entries on the
chart on which she kept the record
of Chrisman Swope’s condition, were
made at her convenience, from mem
ory, she "eid.
Today, however, she was unable
to recall many facts about the pa
tient’s illness without referring to
her chart. She also said she had left
her records at the Swope house when
she left In December and did not see
them again until she was called be
fore the grand jury during March.
Among new points brought out
was that seven days after I)r. Hyde
gave Miss Stella Swope a box of
candy the young woman developed
typhoid fever. The mention of the
candy came as a surprise to Dr.
Hyde, who was sitting tilted back in
his chair, smilingly listening to the
nurse’s testimony. He quckly mov
ed over to his attorneys and entered
into a conference with them. Mrs.
iiyde soon joined the little group.
For several minutes they talked
earnestly.
"It is a significant feature, but I
cannot say Just what will develop
from an investigation of It,” said Spe
cial Prosecutor James A. Reed later.
Attorneys for Hyde said they did
not regard the testimony seriously.
The death of Chrisman Swope and
the illness of Margaret Swope were
reviewed by Miss Houlihan. It was
filled with striking utterances and
vivid descrlptons that held the at
tention of .^e spectators.
At times her testimony was almost
grewsome. In telling of Dr. Hyde’s
actions, after Chrisman owope had
died, lying crossways on a bed, she
said:
“Dr. Hyde grasped the dead man
by the feet and turned him around
in bed.
"How did he do it?” asked Attor
ney Reed.
"Roughly,” she replied.
In attempting to Imitate the moana
of Chrisman and of Margaret Swope,
the witness gave utterance to a weird
cry of anguish like that of a suffer
ing animal. Spectators, unaware ot
her intention to make the sound, rose
quickly from their seats, thinking
some ill had befallen her.
