The Fraroingham architect, 'who
left We wife and lovely children to
•njoy the spiritual kinship of Mrs
Chase’* presence at the Chase farm
m Kaet Alstead, N. H., remains at
the lonely farmhouse with the Chase |
children.
Mrs Chase, since the sensational
"ourt proceedings in which she fig
ured last April, and as a result of
which Mrs. Mary Coffin Dennett was
^ awarded the custody of the Dennett
children—two fine boys—has spent
mo*t of her time at the New Hamp
shire farm. Occasionally, however,
she comes to Brookline to visit her
husband
Calls Her “Rap© Woman.”
Dr Chase has the greatest admira
tion for his wife. “A rare woman,
he calls her. “one who is a constant
source of inspiration and delight.
After eighteen years of married life I
never tire of her wisdom and wit.
J^he 1e an ideal companion.”
Mrs Chase, when urged to tell
something of her ideas about life, of
her philosophy of life, of marriage,
gave to The American the following:
“X have become a worker, a doer.!
during the past few years, and I have ;
a philosophy of life w hich is all my
own. I no longer depend on other
people for ideas.
“Life is not what people think, but
what they do. It is very simple, so!
simple, in fact, that people are bound j
to miss the point of It all. Be square i
with yourself; be true to that divine !
idea which God meant that you j
should exemplify.
4 “Don’t Imitate Others.”
“Don’t pattern after others. Make j
••very experience that befalls you yield ,
its fullest measure of character and |
growth. Kind Providence gives us j
opportunities to develop ourselves. !
The way we raed them is the index I
to what we really are.
“The soul of man is all; will power;
Is supreme. Nothing much matters J
except conscience as a guide to con
duct.
“The soul iagreater than any man-
made law, custom, conventionality or i
institution. Be yourself; live your 1
own life, regardless of others.
“True love goes out like the light
in every direction.
“Do not allow' what a husband or |
wife thinks to Interfere with youf
living your own life. If married peo
ple truly love each other they will not
try to control each other's actions.
True love is perfect trust.
“Marriage as a fixed and character
istic institution does not exist to-day.
One can find examples of every form
of marriage that ever existed now in
force in society.
“Everyone Is Necessary.
“Everybody is just as necessary to
the w’hole as you are. Life is real as
you find it Men and women are not
either good or bad—only different,
that’s all.
“Do not try to thrust your opinions
upon others; it's foolish.”
Mrs. Chase will return to East Al-
stead in a few weeks to resume her
daily round in connAetion with the
farm colony there. She says she
often works fifteen hours a day.

| Convicted Policeman Becomes
I Leader in Huge Store While
Papers Accumulate Dust.
CHICAGO Dec. 13.—Joshua Tel
ford has been hunted down.
Although the State failed to exa.?t
its pound of flesh, and although in
the seven years of accidental freedom
he pushed his way ahead of his Al
lows and reached a position of re-
epect, trust and responsibility, he was
found.
To-day when he kissed his wife
good-bye she bad tears In her eyes.
She knew hie story. The long ex
pected aad feared Mae had te&en.
The law. lax at times. Is ahway* re
lentless It bad traced Mm, and he
was whirled about to face a term of
five years’ imprisonment In the Jottet
penitentiary. Although he was point
ed out by one of Chicago's most
prominent business men as a man to
be trusted and believed, he must
eventually join the silent army of
the lockstep unless Governor Ed
ward F. Dunne puts out a detaining
hand and paints a different finale to
the story.
A number of Ted ford's personal
friends are negotiating to get a par
don for the man that he may go on
with his climb to success.
Blames Burglar’s Mother.
To-day the man made a short
statement of the case In which he
was convicted. He blamed William
Hickey, who was a burglar and
Hickey’s mother. He had arrested
Hickey, and in connection with that
case he was convicted. This is what
he said:
“I was convicted on perjured testi
mony of Hickey and his mother. You
know what a mother will do when her
son la in trouble. Well, she came here
and told of her boy having reformed.
But Hickey had not reformed, for he
was killed down in New' York as a
burglar while iny case was pending in
the Supreme Court. That, I thought,
ended, or ought to have end#*d, It at
least.”
Was a Policeman.
Tedford was convicted in 1904 o r
conspiracy to defeat justice. He wis
a policeman. It had to do with send
ing a States witness away. Judge
Brenta.no sentenced him to serve from
one to five years in the penitentiary.
The case was tried by Chief Justice
of the Municipal Court Harry Olson,
then an assistant State’s Attorney
under Charles S. Deneen. The case
buffeted the legal channels until the
State Supreme Court affirmed the
verdict of Judge Brentano. The man.
date was returned. The clerk who
received the mandate ordering Ted-
ford’s incarceration pigeonholed in
stead of filing the document.
Days, weeks, months and finally
years passed arid dust gathered upon
the papers which to Tedford meant
probably five years of living death.
Accident Reopens Case.
A bitter remark by a disappointed
attorney, by a queer coincidence in the
court of Justice Olson, pried open a
number of memory storehouses and
the case of Joshua Tedford was re
vived and the law was again on his
trail. Although it had slept for seven
years, the hunt for facts was relent
lessly taken up. It was said that
Tedford was not to blame because the
law did not exact Its dues. But the
penalty must be paid even now.
The city directory told the story ».f
what Tedford had been doing with the
time which belonged to the State.
This was the entry:
“Joshua Tedford, supt.. 239 South
State street, residence 6024 Champlain
avenue.”
In his seven years of liberty lie had
made his way from house detec
tive at one of the largest mens fur
nishing stores in the world to super
intendent of the entire establishment.
George Lytton. head of the store, to
day declared that he improved faster
than his father or he could promote
the ex-policeman.
“To-day," he said, “we trust him
with everything. He is absolutely
pure gold.”
Too Busy to Worry.
This strange victim of circum
stances was found to-day absorbed In
the duties of his position at the store.
His attitude was that of a man too
busy with important things of Lie
moment to worry himself and others
wdth his own private affairs. He was
in the midst of a fire drill on the third
floor of the store. Hundreds of em
ployees. carrying fire extinguishers,
pike poles, robes and fire buckets,
dashed hither and thither under his
sharp eye. Finally he smiled and
shouted. “All right, boys,” and the
drill ended.
After some hesitation, he issued his
short statement and then turned
away with Mr. Lytton, and then went
into the latter’s office for a confer
ence.
He presented <the appearance of the
prosperous business man. He is over
six feet tall, largo, blond and hand
some, His shoulders are square and
his head is erect. He went about his
work apparently oblivious of the fact
that what he had so carefully builded
seemed about to tumble.
Once Defiant Band of Female
Vigilantes Now Subdued and
Peaceful Matrons.
WAUKEGAN. ILL.. Dev IS.—
Women vigilantes in Lake County
have put an end to their rail-riding
and charivari parties. There is no
more talk of lawless festivities. It
Is a very much-subdued band of wom
en who only last week stood on trial
for dragging Mrs. Minnie Richardson
from her crippled husband’s porch In
Volo and riding her on a rail, and who
laughed their defiance at the oonrt.
All of them fo*md giTHty. they re
turned hocne Ohaetcmed In tpAvftL
"Captain” Emma Stadfield, who ad
mitted having led the party rioter*
to the Richwrdwon hosme, declared In
court:
"People do anything they want in
Volo! There is no law nor order
there.”
“Captain” Emma Stadfleld now is
the mildest of the quiet women.
There were six of them altogether,
and five w'ere found gruilty of rioting.
Four of the five were gray-haired
grandmothers and the fifth was a ma
tron of mature years. Altogether, the
case was most extraordinary.
Clatter Tin Pans.
It began when the six women, an
gered at Mrs. Richardson because of
her alleged behavior toward their
husbands, dragged her from the porch
of her home, where she sat w'ith Mr.
Richardson, and rode her on a rail,
banging and clattering tin pans in ac
companiment. They were arrested on
Mrs. Richardson's complaint.
In court the women defendants of
fered as their justification the state
ment that Mrs. Richardson really en
joyed the party, and that she suf
fered no ill effects from her rail ride.
But Mrs. Richardson In court ap
peared to be a greatly overwrougnt
and mournful person, and became
joyfully hysterical when the verdict of
the jury was an; ounced finding her
enemies guilty.
The lawyer for the defense of the
women rioters, dropping many un
savory hints and referring vaguely ta
the unwritten law, endeavored to sug
gest charges reflecting on the char
acter of Mrs. Richardson. But the
jury was not impressed. . State's At
torney Dady made a more forceful
argument.
Gray Hairs No Excuse.
“The question is not one of char
acter.” he said. “It Is whether Lake
County shall permit rioting In its bor
ders and not punish it. You should
have no compassion on these rioters
for their gray hairs.”
The four grandmothers were bitter
ly indignant at their conviction. They
began to mutter among themselves
and to g!fcre with rage at Mr. and Mrs.
Richardson embracing. Captain”
Emma Stadfleld oven broke into
speech, denouncing the verdict &s an
outrage, and starting a tlrado agatnnt
the Richardsons, stamping tip and
down the small courtroom until stern
ly called > order.
But now. back at Volo. Mrs. Stad
fleld is a meeker, milder person. The
other* convicted were Mrs Mary Ba
bel, Mrs. Ann Siadfield. Mrs. Alma
Walton and Mrs, Levina Raymond.

Co-Eds Go 5 Miles
Daily to Class
SEATTLE. Pro. It.—Five miles 1*
the average distance walked by co
eds between classes each day at the
University of Washington, according
to an experiment made by Miss Anna
Howard, a Junior.
Hiss Howard has been carrying a
pedometer in her sweater pftW<et.
which tallied off the miles as she
walked between buildings to her
classes.
“The pedometer registered only
when 1 was outdoors.'' said Miss
Howard. “When I had my sweater
off it was not carrying the miles 1
think it would have recorded several

I worked in the laboratory. One day
I walked less than a mile on the cam

miles.”
