CHICAGO, May 29. A letter pack
et of letters, tied with ribbon of faded
blue, has hared the life story of Louis
von Heilman pnd "Babette." Von
Heilman was the aged recluse who
died facing starvation rather than to
part with a store of grimy canvases, a
few believed to be priceless master
pieces, which littered his squalid bed
room. The letters were found care
fully tucked away from peering eyes
in a closet corner.
They came to light as James F.
Bishop, public administrator, assist
ed by Lawton 8. Parker, a prominent
Chicago artist, was endeavoring to
value the paintings.
Von Heilman died intestate. Most
of the letters, written in German, bore
date marks of the 70’s and 80’s. They
were deciphered by a translator.
Loved Peasant Girl.
From out of the mass of family goa-
s.p which burdened most of them and
the bits of Von Heilman’s story, which
bad been told to his friends, the fol
lowing narrative appeared:
Von Heilman, the son of a landed
proprietor near Plena, in Silesia, one
of the provinces where the German
army is now encamped, loved Babette,
a peasant's daughter on his father's
estate. His parents disapproved, and
upon his return from the Franeo-
Prussian war In 1873 she was gone.
He suspected his parents of having
sent her away. A stormy scene en
sued. after which he came to Amer-

ica. Few spoke a good word for Ba-
bfctte, and after a fruitless search for
her Von Heilman lost his faith Jn
wo mankind. He even refused to ait
I at a table where women were present.
The years passed by arid Von Hell- ,
i man h id come to Chicago. Letters
j came from his relatives. With the ]
I exception of those from his little sis- ]
ter. Martha, who held his affection,
j they remained unanswered.
Slater Defends Her. *
J Then came a letter from his sister,
l She had h aid that Babette was in a '
I convent. On January 4, 1893, Mar-I
(ha wrote .is follows:
"I saw Babette to-day and talked I
I with her for the first time since sin
left our father's house. I came away
feeling as never before that this wom
an, who has given her life to God,
could never have done great wrong.
Oli, brother, could you only have seen
and talked with her as I did to-day,
you would feel that she had never
done anything which would cause you
to lose faith in her. Will you forgive
ni‘ once more when 1 * I tell you that I
believe you have done her a great in
justice?"
Martha’s pleadings availed not, and
soon after Von Heilman broke all tiej
with his family, as Is indicated by the
telegram, dated in 1908:
“Have received no word for three
years. Have you forgotten your little
sister? "MARTHA."

wanted was her claim against the moth

babe was the best and she had been
keeping it "off and on" for a long time.
Judge Baggott directed the child be
placed In the County Children's Home

E-2. At the New York Navy Yard
where she was towed with a cracked
battery tank, which permitted the
leakage of ?»alt water Into the forward
battery and resulted In the escape of
chlorine gas which severely affected
the crew' with its fumes.
Some Never in Shape.
Furthermore your records at the
time the second division was ordered
for this “routine overhaul" will show
that the batteries of E-2 and D-l had
been out of commission for about six
months owing to battery explosions.
Such was the condition of the sec
ond division on November 1 when the
mobilization took place.
Outside of the Panama Canal sub
marines, the Atlantic fleet consists of
the second, third and fourth divis
ions. Where were the third and
fourth divisions? Let us see. On
November 9, 1914, you wrote to Ad
miral Fletcher as follows:
“Information is desired as to the
reasons for the unprepared ness of the
submarine flotilla for active service."
On November 23, you got your an
swer 1 quote from the reply of the
sumarine flotilla commander.
With regard to the four boats of
the third division, he said: "G*l, G-2
and G-3 never ha\e been satisfactory
in design, and have been at the Navy
Yard, New^York, since last spring un
dergoing alterations.”
"G-4. . . . This vesel is yet un
satisfactory in its material makeup
and its personnel are not adequately
trained for participation In maneuv
ers."
Should Explain Matters.
iWth regard to the four boats of
the fourth division, he said: "The
K-l and the K-2 have been at Fro-
ti^n Conn., undergoing machinery al
terations by the contractors since
October 15.
The K-5 and K-6. flttinir out of the
Boston Navy Yard, were not ready
to leave that yard, due to material
deficiencies, until after the mobiliza
tion at Hampton Roads. Nor were
their crews in any respect trained.
I think you will agree with me that
it Is a great pity not to explain these
matters clearly and simply. For In
stance, you said that the submarine
fleet had Just accomplished "one of
the longest steady runs ever accom
plished by American submarines."
This wording resulted in a very false
impression. One of the greatest met
ropolitan dailies, friendly to you,
commented on It as "breaking the
world’s record "
Wants Letter Published.
When the Atlantic fleet steamed
out for maneuvers the other day, D-3
and 0-3 could not accompany it. K-l
(the latest model completed) and E-2
broke down the first day of the ma
neuvers.
There are eighteen submarines in
the Atlantic, of which five are at the
Panama Canal. Twelve of them were
paraded the other day at New York.
Eleven of them went to sea to ma
neuver with the fleet. At 1 a. m.
Sunday last a certain radio message
was intercepted by your department.
This message was sent from the Prai
rie, submarine flagship, to Admiral
Fletcher and it read: "Only five sub
marines remain available." Don’t
you think It worthy of reflection that
out of the pitably small fleet of thir
teen submarines only five remained
available after less than a week's ma
neuvers?
I challenge you to publish certain
letters from the commander of the
submarine flotilla dated November 2
and November 23. 1914. Both are ad
dressed to Admiral Fletcher. They
describe the condition of the Atlantic
submarine flotilla.
Very respectfully.

‘Uncle Joe’ Cannon
Dances Like Expert
SAN FTtANCTSCO. May 29.—“Uncle
Joe" Cannon would not dance the Vir
ginia Reel In San Francisco, but no
sooner had he picked up his sea legs
on the Hawaiian trip than his feet be
gan to itch. The veteran Congress
man was dancing with all the ardor of
a spring lamb out for a frolic before
the. ship reached Honolulu.
“ ’Uncle Joe’ seems to be having the
time of his young life,” said Congress
man Dyer, of Missoi#i. who has re
turned from the island. “He has
learned to eat poi with one finger, and
as for the Hula Hula, he is getting to
be an expert. He spends half the day
In the surf.”
What Georgia is and why Georgia
is great and going to be greater is
all displayed in the latest State pub
lication. a booklet Just issued by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture.
Its title, simple yet comprehensive, is
just "Georgia."
The publication is a detailed hand
book of Georgia's resources. Its pur
pose Is to set forth in a foreword by
J. D. Price, Commissioner of Agricul
ture, as follows:
"To tell the world of Georgia’s re
sources, industries and possibilities;
to show the prospective settler, in
vestor and developer what of promise
Georgia has for him, by telling him
what others have done here; to point
a road to peace, prosperity and con
tentment where others have attained
It; to give new’ and timely informa
tion of her riches, developed and un
developed; to answer the many hun
dreds of inquiries which reach this
office from day to day from every
State and many countries, this little
book is published."
There are more than 200 pictures;
there is an analysis of its governmen
tal and tax systems; its variety of
climates and altitudes, and the diver
sity of its interests, all are set forth—
cotton, corn, grain, hay, tobacco,
arm mntitled
to the beet rmmulta from
yoor~effortn and expense.
