' Yale Man A By Soul Kiss » Everett P. Ketcham Says Claimed to Have cating E There have been soul kisses of many species described on witness “ stands in various parts of the supreme court, but the record for the longest one ever described in the same court is held by Everett Phoenix Ketchum, wealthy lawyer and Yale graduate, who told Supreme Court Justice Blanchard of New York, that the soul kiss invented by his wife Ada, who is 3suing him for separation, lasted two Y hours. Through such a prolonged oscula- tion taxed the ¢redulity of the spec- tators in the courtroom, Ketchum, who took the witness stand in his own defense, described the kiss in detail and explained how he had to grasp for breath and struggle to free him- self from the caress. And the original soul kiss was not the only one the ~ouple indulged in, he said. His court- ship, he told the court, was Just one round of soul kissing—morning, noon and night. Nearly Suffocated Him. “l was bewildered flabbergasted, mystified and nearly suffocated,” Ket- chum told his lawyer, Abraham Lev Ketchum accounted for his wife's originality in the Kkissing line by stating that he was the first man who ever kissed her—at least she told “him that and he had good reason to believe she was right. “I have never kissed a man in all my life,” my wife told me,” the wit- ness said. ‘“ I believe that the first pick of the roses should be reserved for the man to whom I become be- trothed,” she told me. Then she kiss- ed me and it seemed so unusual— -her kiss—that I doubted her inexper- Yence and she accounted for it by saying that her wonderful love for me was responsible.” Her First Kiss. Ketchum declared that he was introduced to his wife by L. Harding Rogers, a classmate at Yale, who told him that he knew a girl who had ¥ever been kissed. Every one ac- Man Almost Overcome Lasting Hours Wife Though Inexperienced Originated Suffo- mbrace. religious feeling made me feel that way. I told her that it was the good will of the Almighty and His love for His children that brought about our meeting and this greatly im- pressed her. “That afternoon Rogers said she was the only girl whom he knew that hadn’'t been kissed. Then of a sud- den Rogers seized her hands and drew her to him. She turned her head and resisted so forcibly that her hair became undone, and when she freed herself she struck Rogers on the nose, which, of course, irritated him consid- erably. Then turning to me he said: ‘Now yvou see that Miss Brown can- not be kissed. You've seen with your own eyes that it is impossible.” * Said One Senator Proposed. The following day, Ketchum testi- fied he felt that God had sent her to him, so he went to her home in Green- wich and proposed to her. “She told me that 25 men had al- ready proposed to her,” the witness said. Som of them were wealthy, one a senator—young men, college men and other ineligibles. But none of all those men attracted her af- fections. “She told me I was the only one who had ever impressed her. She said I had opened her eyes to a new love and a new light and we were ideally suited to each other.” At the second meeting less wag said about kissing and more about money. Mrs. Ketchum inquired about his fi- nancial conditon and when he told her he was wealthy she seemd satis- fled, he testified. “Then before I proposed to her.” the witness went on, “she suggested that Florida would be a good place for lovemaking and a honeymoon. She agreed that with a bank account T was ideally situated. Due to Her Great Love. “It was at our fourth meeting I pro- posed. Before she accepted she quainted with Mrs. Ketchum, previous to her marriage,. Rogers explained, knew she was an unkissed girl and she was much sought after by suitors. “I became interested when Mr, Rogers told me about my wife,” Ket- chum continued. “I wanted to be- come a manly man and marry a nice young girl and rear a family so that I would be happy in my old age. At ur first meeting I was very much inipressed with the young lady. She was of musical mind and so was I 1 have sung in many clubs and so- cieties.” Discussed Wife's Duties. “What did you discuss at the first meeting?”’ asked Mr. Levy. ‘Chiefly of our duties to one ng"ncr. wife’s first duty was to her husband above all others and vice versa. agreed with her, and she told me later on that I was the only man who had talked to her like that. I assured her it was for some good purpose that God had brought us together and my SUFS AND ANTIS TO CALL ON WILSON i an- Also Request Hearing Before Repub- lican National Committee—Ad- vocates in Convention. ‘Washington, Dec. 14.—Both rage and anti-suffrage organizations were active here today. Delegates rep- resenting the two camps were to call on President Wilson at the White House and also requested a hearing béfore the republican national com- mittee. The national American Woman Suffrage Association began its forty seventh annual convention today. The principal business before it was the election of a president to succeed Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, who after serv- ing eleven years, has announced her inféntion to retire. The Congressional Union for Wo- man Suffrage and the National As- sociation Opposed to Woman Suffrage concluded their business sessions latc Yesterday. The antis adopted resolutions de- claring that a lack of patriotism was shown by the suffragists in forcing their issue before congress in a ses- s¥6n called to solve important na- tional and international problems, and reelected its present officers, including Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, of New York. as president. suit- pUTC REAM IN NOSE AND STOP CATARRH Tells How To Open Clogged Nos- trils and End Head-Colds. = \ ) ) ) You feel fine in a few moments.

If He were Al- mighty and all-loving He would have done so long ago,” was a remark quoted by the Rev. Father Bernard Vaughn Sunday in opening his ser- mon before a large congregation. He added that this was a sample of the blasphemies sent to him by post. His answer was that God did not stop the war because, being almighty he could draw out of it, and, being all-loving He did so. “Personally,” said Father Vaughn, “I feel that it would take eternity to thank God for not having stopped this war, as He might have done. If it had been deferred ten years my be- loved country would have been a Mongolian desert, or the Serbians and THE OLD BAKING TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 4, 1915. RELIABLE ROYAL POWDER Absolutely Pure No AcLum—No PHOSPHATE WINTER SEVERE TEST IN DARDANELLES First Blizzard Early WDccember Found Turks Entirely Unpreparcd of —Australians Withstand Cold. London, Dec. 14.—Winter in the Dardanelles is proving to be a severo test for the Australians and Turks alike. Reuter's correspondent at this front reports that the first blizzard of early December found the Turks entirely unprepared. It was positions, as the trenches were flood- ed. The bodies of severa] Turkish sol- diers, as well as a number of dead lied trenches. Prisoners taken by the Australians were poorly clad and, the Turkish troops were on half ra- tions, pending an improvement in their communications. The colonial troops, including the Maoris, from New Zealand, withstood the cold, although many of them had never seen snow before. The British authorities believe that owing to their hardy physique and excellent equip- ment the colonials will get through the winter in satisfactory condition. Turkish activities recently have been comparatively unimportant. Such attacks as have been made have not been pushed. Severe weather is expected through January and Ieb- ruary. NO SUNDAY MOVIES FOR WALLINGFORD Prosecuting Attorney Wrynn Declares He Will Punish Violators of Law —Shows Held for Charity. ‘Wallingford, Conn., Dec. 14.—*T in- tend to prosecute within a reasonable time.” With these few words Prose- cuting Attorney W. F. Wrynn vyes- terday dismissed the complaint filed with him by Wallingford citizens against Sunday moving pictures. The complaint followed a second al- leged violation of the statutes which provides against the showing of mov- ing pictures in this state on Sunday. Until he was informed of the viola- tion yvesterday Prosecuting Attorney ‘Wrynn said that he did not know of the pictures being shown Sunday eve- ning. A large attendance was attracted to the Bijou theater Sunday night by the sign ‘“free,” which appeared on the door of the theater. Frequently dur- ing the evening, a slide requesting that those present donate to charity, as they departed from the theater, brought a good offering. Donations varied from one cent to $1. O. J. Mason, the local thaater man- ager, sald vesterday that the show was given in aid of the Tuberculosis asso- ciation of New Haven. Dr. David Lyman, superintendent of Gaylord Farm Sanatorium denied .any knowl- edge of the society benefiting through the performance. F. T. Sheronas, of New Haven, own- er of the Bijou, and also a playhouse in New Haven, sajd that he had open- ed the house on his own accord plan- ning to give the proceeds to charity. He further stated that it was his in- the Armenians—that is child’s play to what would have become of hated England.

I answer in the So- cratic method by putting another question: ‘What is Christianity?’ Tt is a body of doctrine and code of mo- rality making for the salvation of peoples embracing it. Christianity has not failed because it has not becn used.” It was fashionable today with those who kept borrowing their philosophy, theology, and methods of mentality from Prussia, he said, to say there was no such thing as sin, but in these matters England has been tyrannized over by Germany, and he thanked God that this war had come about, because He had made England turn from Odin back again to Christ.

ATTACKS OSBORNE’'S CHARACTER Assistant District Attorney Makes Charges Against Warden. White Plains, N. Y., Dec. 14.—Se- rious charges against the character of Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of Sing Sing prison, were made in open court yesterday before Justice Mors- chauser by Assistant District Attorney William J. Fallon who is directing the grand jury investigation into con- ditions at the prison. George Gordon Battle. Mr. Osborne's counsel, objected to such statements becoming a matter of record, whereupon the district at- torney replied that he had twenty af- fidavits to support the charges. Though the Sing Sing investigation is merely in the grand jury stage, it came into court over the question of Mr. Osborne’s refusal to reveal con- fessions made to him hy convicts at the prison. He contended that if he revealed such confessions the prison- ers would lose confidence in him. If after going before the grand jury Mr. Osborne still refused to answer the questions, the court said he would deal with the matter then. MINIMUM WAGE $70 MONTH.

(GOVERNWENT FIGHTS RABIESINFAR WEST Forest Service and Biological So- ciety Using Rabid Coyotes (U. s. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service.) Wash. Dec. 14.—The Department Agriculture taking action, of is Forest Service, to combat a serious wave of rabies infection of wild and domestic animals that is in danger of becoming widespread in the far West. The fact that the extensive dissemination of the disease is tak- ing place through the agency of coy- otes makes the situation a difficult one to meet. Outbreaks of rabies among coyotes have been noted from time to time for several years in parts of Wash- ington, Oregon, and northern Idaho, and the Forest Service undertook last year to aid in bringing the diseasc under control by employing hunte to make war on coyotes in the N ities. Since, however, breed in the foothills and around the outskirts of the Forests, a more comprehensive campaign is called for. Very Difficult Task. The eradiction of coyotes in sparse- ly settled or rough country, is said to be an exceedingly difficult task. Inasmuch as these animals are al- ready a source of considerable losses to the livestock industry of the West, Congress last year provided a special fund of $125,000 to be spent by the Biological Survey for the eradication animals both in the National Forests and on the public domain, and from this fund a special allotment has now been made to provide for fighting the rabies. The disease first appeared in parts of eastern Oregon and Washington and northern Idaho, in a region sur- rounded by natural barriers which tended to confine the outbreak. Do- mestic animals and human beings were bitten, and a good deal of alarm was manifested by residents of the infected districts, many of whom feared for the safety of their children on the roads to and from through the Biological Survey and the | tional Forests of some infected local- the coyotes | CASTORI/ Children Cry for Fletcher's The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the ture of Chas.
