AWE AT SONNY'S FUNERAL

Suggestions Heard That Living Boy Might Appear at Own Rites.

But as "Nothing Happens" Identification Is Accepted as Correct.

There was only one thing that might have happened to make "Sonny" Matthews' funeral different from the funeral of thousands of other little boys. Nobody dreamed it would happen, not even the most imaginative reporters who waited in Louis Hamburg's undertaking rooms. But once in a while some one present would suggest the impossible and some one would whisper: "Don't let his mother hear it."

The thing which might have happened to make "Sonny's" funeral remarkable would have been the appearance of "Sonny" Matthews, running in from the street all out of breath, face shining and eyes beaming, and crying out, "Here I am, mamma, what are you crying for?"

"Sonny" Disappeared Feb. 10.

"Sonny" you know, is the 9 year old boy who disappeared last February. He was seen at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Feb. 10, and that was the last. All over the country detectives searched for "Sonny" Matthews. Clews came in from ev- [[text cutoff]]

WOMAN, 84, ROUTS THIEF

Aged Recluse Fights Off Robber Who Tries to Chloroform Her.

Uses Finger Nails and Man Flees, Leaving Money Untouched.

Mrs. Ernestina Zerbia, 84 years old, who lives alone in a small shanty at the rear of 4447 South 5th avenue, although she owns considerable property in the neighborhood, to-day fought off a robber who attempted to chloroform her. She screamed and dug at the man's face with her fingernails and he fled without obtaining any money. 

Mrs. Zerbia was bleeding from the mouth when Lieut. James E. McCann and "Detective Sergeant William L. Bush of the stockyards station arrived. The robber had lacerated her lips in his attempt to stuff a chloroformed handkerchief into her mouth, the lieutenant said.

Finds Money Untouched.

The Lieutenant found $400 hidden in the aged woman's sewing box in a cupboard. Mrs. Zerbia believed the money had been stolen and she was surprised when the policeman turned it over to her.

The intruder was a well dressed man about 38 years old. Mrs. Zerbia said. She was alone in the shanty when there was

BRYAN TO MAKE PARTY DRY

Plans to Work Four Years to Swing Democrats to Prohibition.

Address at Meeting of Methodist Ministers Is Applauded.

Helping to make the Democratic party "dry" is going to be William J. Bryan's task for the next four years, according to a statement he made to-day at the Methodist ministers' meeting at the First Methodist Episcopal church. He spoke also at a noon meeting of the Dry Chicago federation at the Hotel Sherman, urging the "dry" forces of Chicago to unite in the campaign to wipe out the city's saloons at the spring election in 1918.

Relies on Democratic Party.

"I am going to work in and through the democratic party to bring national prohibition about," he said, while cheers every few moments broke the continuity of his address. "Everything I have attained or accomplished I owe to the democratic party and I love it too well to see it die of delirium tremens or be buried in a drunkard's grave. Several months ago I decided definitely to make the chief work of my life for the next few years the swinging of the democratic masses on to the prohibition side. I intended to do it, no matter how the election went."

"Down in Indiana where I just came from, some brewers managed to put a wet plank in the democratic state platform and place an odium on the party that nominated for the presidency three times a man who never took a drink in his life," Mr. Bryan continued. "Then these same brewers swung over and voted the republican ticket. So they stung both of us."
 
Mr. Bryan indicated that probably the next great issue would be national prohibition, and that the party which failed to write it in its platform would be doomed to defeat.

"Wet" States Against President.

"Profound results for the 'dry' side have been attained in this election that no one ever looked for," he said. "But the best of all is that a president was elected when most of the 'wet' states went against him. That will make it easier for the democrats to indorse prohibition. And it will make it necessary for the republicans to do so in order to win again.

"Sentiment is changing. The economic and moral arguments are unanswerable and the saloon is doomed. Years ago I sat in Chicago at a banquet with a Methodist Bishop. He drank his wine. Anything of that sort would be unheard of now. And women are going to help put the saloon out of the way. The mother's right to have a voice concerning the environment surrounding her child as well as the men who ensnare him converted me to woman's suffrage."

[By The Associated Press.]
New York, Nov. 20.-The recordmaking aeroplane flight of Ruth Law, begun yesterday in Chicago, terminated at Governor's island here at 9:40 a.m. to-day, after stops at Hornell and Binghamton, N. Y. The final 152 miles from Binghamton to this city were covered this morning in two hours and twenty minutes and the entire journey, 832 miles in air line, in the actual flying time of nine hours and one minute. 

Miss Law was greeted on her arrival at Governor's island by Maj-Gen. Leonard Wood and Mrs. Wood, who congratulated her on her achievement. She was considerably chilled and was taken to the house of one of the officers at the post to recuperate. She had little to say about her flight except that she had to fly much longer than she wished to because of the[[text cutoff]]
