AND HE ISN’T DUMB MAN
SHIPWRECKED MEN TO REACH HOME
John Smith, 'of. Kansas City,
Vowed a Vow When a Boy
and Kept It
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. .^2 9.-—This i_s
a storry of a man without words. Also
\t is a true story, however much it may
'np'pear to the contrary.
No man ever heard John S. Smith,
Fifty-eighth street and Monroe avenue,
say, “I’ll buy the n^xt round.” Neither
did maid ever hear Smith’s voice in
those impassioned words commonly ac
cepted as proper at a certain point of
the courtship of a man and a maid. Yet
it wasn't because Mr. Smith never
bought,” for he is a sociable fellow.
And it isn’t because he never courted
•V was oashful, for he nas had love af
fairs. One of them serious.
HE TOOK A VOW.
The whole thing in a nutshell Js that
John Smith, at the early age of eight
years, vowed a vow. And the things that
(would ordinarily move a man to say,
things contrary to the city ordinances
and in violation of the peace and dig-
; rilty of things ih general have never
caused 4*mith \6 forget that vow.. The
vow was that never again would he
speak, except to his mother,-his brothers
and sisters. Since then his voice has
not been , heard of man, Selah. Once,
five years qjgo, a story was written about
him. Smifntfitiught it strange that his
silence was worth a story, for to him,
refraining frtfrft speech is as common-’
place a thing as breaching.
He spent a week bunding -a.J'encc for
a man and when he was through the
owner of the fence, or more properly the,
land around which Smith’s labor was,
in- the shape of a fence, declined to
pay either for the labor or the'raw ma
terial. . ?
All you who wouldn’t have said things
about that time, stand up. The ayes
have it. .
Bujt not Mr. Smith. He broke his
.pencil point numerous times, to be sure,
apd used up his notebook, but-the only
place there was a wprd that cduldn’t be
used on the most polite occasion was
between the lints-. In never talking he
has learned the art of what not to say.
“NOTHING TO MARRIAGE.”
That merely to illustrate what a hold
chis vow' has had upon the conscious
ness of John Smith, it is only right to
explain, pf course, that he came from a
faiYiily who were inclined that way. He
aas a brother and two - sisters, all of
nrhom, those who have known them
.rom childhood say, were inclined to
silence. Not one of them ever would;
recite a lesson in school, or speak to his
or her teacher, until after they had
passed the fourth grade. Then their
speech was meager and was brought
about only by drastic measures, includ
ing direct application by their teacheTS.
i They talked wliat they had to, and other
than that held their silence. But when
•?upid got to work on them ,he loosed
their tongues—all but John’s. Even
love—well. John Smith sums up mar
riage this wise:
“There’s nothin' in it.”
HIS LOVE AFFAIR.
John Smith’s life was marked with one
serious love affair. One night John
Smith came to the conclusion that a
certain amount of conversation in t.he
family wouldn’t be a bad thing, so he
wrote the usual question in his note
book and handed it across to the girl.
“Sure. John, I’ll marry you,” she re
plied, after reading it, “but you'll sure
have to talk if I do. I’m not going to
sit across the table’from a man who
won’t talk to me.”
John Smith’s face took on a rather
crestfallen look, but* it was only for a
moment. He studied a minute, grunted,
picked un his hat .and left. And ho
didn’t go back. Instead he went fishing
and trapping.
Why doesn’t- he talk? You'll have to
ask some of his friends. And each one
of them will tell a different story. By
one it is said his father whipped him
wh3n he was a boy because he wouldn’t
talk, and he became all the more deter
mined not-> to talk. Others say his
mother whipped him because he talked
too much, ^but most of his friends say
there neVer was such a time. This
rrruch is certain: no one outside the fam
ily fcircle has heard his voice, except in
a grunt, for thirty-three years.

ASKED OWN ARREST^
TO START 1914 RIGHT
, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.—“I want
to. start the new year right,” said a
man giving the name of E. L. Aller, an
attorney of Detroit, Mich., as he walked
lip to a policeman today and asked to be

Aller says he misappropriated funds
of an estate of which he was an execu
tor in Maroh, 1912, and that since then
his conscience would not let • him alone.
The police took him in charge until his
story could be investigated.
LIFE SAVING SERVICE
MAKES GREAT RECORD
Out of 1,743 Accidents at Sea
in Year Only 69 Vessels and
73 Lives Were Lost
Angry Crowd F
Storms Jail
Under Fire
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Out of a
total oC 1.743 accidents at sea during the,
fiscal year ending June 30 last, the
highest in the history of the life sav
ing service, only sixty-nine vessels
were lost and seventy-three persous
were drowned, according to the annual
report of S. I. kimbalh general super
intendent of the service, made public
today.
Through efforts of the service,u ves
sels and their cargoes valued at $13,-
860,000 were saved. The crews of. the
service with the assistance of revenue
cutters, and wrecking vessels, assisted
1,364 vessels valued, with their car
goes, at $0,032,935 and carrying 5,168
persons. The crews also warned 182
vessels that were running into dan
gers, practically all of this work being
done at night. Jt also extended aid, to
288 vessels by furnishing emergency 'pi
lots, carrying persons to and from shjps
to shore and caring for injured officers
and men.
Of the total of accidents, small and
unaccounted motor boats comprise 68
per cent, more than two-thirds of all
the persons exposed to danger from the
sea being on board this class of craft.
The danger in / unskilled handling of
small pleasure craft thus is shown to
be excessive. The use of power boats-
instead of the old style oared craft is
recommended by the showing that of
the 4,096 persons endangered. 2,748 were
rescued in .the power boats.

(By Associated Press.)
, CHESTB.RTOWN, Md., Dec. 29.—At
midnight a mob which nad gathered
around the Kent county jail here, de
termined to lynch. Norman Mabel, ne
gro, self-confessed slayer of John R.
Coleman, a farmer, Tuesday night, forced
two doors of the jail. Shots were ex
changed between the defenders and the
attacking crowd, but no one was hit on
either side.
The mob was met inside the jail by
State’s Attorney H. M. Vickers, Sheriff
W. E. Biown, and fifteen special depu
ties with drawn revolA’ers. Vickers
pleaded with the men to leave the jail.
This proving ineffectual, the sheriff or
dered his deputies to fire over the heads
of the mob. Two volleys brought the in
furiated crowd to a halt.
A suppressed growl ran through their
ranks and cries of vengeance were
heard.. Here and there from the crowd
came scattered shots, but none of the
bullets entered the corridor where the,
officers were gathered.
REFUSE TO LEAVE.
The determined front of the officers
held the mob at bay for the time at
least, but apparently did not lessen its
determination to wreak vengeance upon
the negro Mabel. They refused to dis
perse and crowded close to the broken
doors, seemingly waiting for some one
to make the first rush against the little,
band of officers.
Presently five men bolted into the
corridor, the leader bearing a sledge
hammer. The others in the mob pressed
around the door waiting to rush to the
assistance of the leaders.
For a moment it looked as if the
guards would be overpowered. Former
Sheriff William H. McKee, serving as
a deputy, faced the would-be lynchers
singlehanded, wrenched the hammer
from the leader’s' hand and forced him
and his four companions from the cor
ridor.
FIRE OiN WINDOWS.
In sullen silence the mob withdrew a
short distance outside, but only to open
fire upon the windows 6n the second
floor where Mabel and the other negroes
under arrest in connection with the mur
der are confined.
Volley after volley from half a hun
dred pistols and shot guns was directed
at the second story and scarcely a pane
of gldss in the windows was left.
The negroes lay down close under the
windows to escape th^ bujlets.
Finding its reckless fusiladc of no
avail the mob desisted, but only to again
crowd close to the jail waiting for an
opportunity to make another rush. That
it would be made kerned certain.
Sheriff Brown and Mr. Vickers in
structed the deputies as a last resort to
fire into the mob and not over their
heads.
The midnight attack came after hours
of waiting by the officers. At 10:30
o’clock the first determined effort to
force the jail was made.
: EDEWIL PROBE ASKED
FOR GALOMET DISASTER
Request of Miners’ President
Forwarded • to President
Wilson From Washington
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The re
quest to President AVilson by Charles
H. Moyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, for a federal in
vestigation of- circumstances surround
ing the fire norror at Calumet, Mich.,
was forwarded today to the president-
at Pass Christian, Miss., by Secretary
Tumulty.
Secretary of L^bor Wilson today or
dered John B. Densmore, solicitor of the
department, to Calumet. Mich., to ren
der any assistance possible in settling
the copper strike situation. The sec
retary said he thought the tragedy was
a matter for state investigation.
In a telegram to President Moyer
Secretary Wilson said It appeared the
tragedy “was not in any way connected
with the strike situation.
“I cannot conceive of such’ a con
nection existing,” the secretary’s mes
sage continued. “It is almost incon
ceivable that any one could be so in
human as to plan sucli a catastrophe.
From information In my possession it
woiild appear to b© purely a statutory
crime, solely within the jurisdiction of
the police powers of the state.”
All Bitterness of Strike
Wiped Away by Disaster
CALUMET, Mjfch., Dec. 29.—All bit
terness and ill reeling that existed in
this strike-ridden community the past
months is wiped away by the one great,
common affliction caused by the false
alarm of fire which cost the lives of
seventy-two. Today the people of Calu
met can only see their neighbors, their
brothers, their/-' sisters and their little
children, staggering under an almost
unbearable burden of distress and grief.
A mass meeting of Calumet citizens
was held to express sympathy and de
vise ways and means to amelioriate the
suffering and sorrow of those families
on which the hand of death had fallen.
The strikers named a committee com
prising Representatives of the nationali
ties of the victims to call on the Sor- 1
rowing relatives and learn their Wishes
regarding the funerals.
The authorities have so far been un
able to trace a man who is said to have
gone up the stairs of the Italian hall
and raise the cry of fire, to which is
ascribed the panic that led to the fear
ful crush in the stairway and caused
the death of the nearly four score men,
women and children. There seems to
be little hope that he will be appre
hended.

The steamer is bound from Philadel
phia for Avonmouth and was twenty-
five miles at sea when the fighting start
