PRISONER DEFENDS
HIMSELF IN COURT
GREAVE, ON TRIAL FOR LIFE,
DISMISSES HIS ATTORNEY.
* Say.
li-
ne Knows Nothing of Law But
Declares He Knows What
Is Right.
t .
». ,.. 8t. Louis, Mo., Dec. 7.—On trial
|F;lor bis life, Austin CJreave arose in
eourt here today and announced lis
5 • would defend himself. Against tbo
advice of the trial judge and an
attorney appointed to defend him, h»
^.Questioned the-men* empaneled to
H r serve on the jury.
Greave shot and killed his boy-
hood chum, Alfred H. Hunter, four
■® months ago. At the opening of the
trial, because of Greave's poverty,
Attorney August Walts was named to
' defend blqi.
Wf The first twelve of the panel had
E, "taken seats when Greave said:
"1 do not want any lawyer. I do
| .-'-uot know anything about law, but I
f| know what Is right, and I can prove
my Innocence."
Greave aeked two questions of each
of the jurors.
"Will you give me a square deal?"
was the first.
"Will you treat me the same as if
I could afford to hire a lawyer?"
was the other.
CUTTING AFFRAY.
C. A. Whitehead of Denton May Not
Recover From Wounds.
Denton, Tex., Dec. 7.—C. A.
Whitehead, proprietor of a marble
works here, was seriously cut yes-
terday afternoon and is iu a serious
condition. He was slashed across the
face and stabbed in the abdomen to
such an extent that the intestines
protruded. He was immediately giv-
:en attention by surgeons and his con-
dition Is pronounced serious, but un-
der favorable circumstances he will
likely recover.
Arthur Brewster, a former em-
ploye of the marble company, sur-
rendered to the officers.

WOULD NOT DISGRACE UNIFORM.
Former Soldier Returns to Court to
Be Sentenced.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—"I would not dis-
grace my uniform by failing to keep
my word, whatever other faults 1
have. I ought to be punished and I
came back to take the punishment 1
deserve."
This statement was made to Judge
Ben M. Smith yesterday, by Edward
Lewis, a former United States sol-
dier, and at one time a wealthy lum-
ber menhfcant. Three months ago,
Lewis pleaded guilty to forging a
check while intoxicated. He told
Judge Smith that he was a lumber
salesman, and that if he was sent to
prison at that time he would be un-
able to find work when released.
He promised that if he was given a
chance to work while business was
good he would meet his obligations
and come back and take his medicine.
"Your word as a United States soi
dier is good enough," Baid Judge
Smith. "You come here December 5
at 10 o'clock for sentence."
When the hour of 10 arrived yes-
terday Lewis appeared before Judge
Smith. His brother-in-law, an at
torney, told the court that Lewis al-
ready had been punished enough, but
Lewis objected and insisted upon be-
ing sentenced.
Judge Lewis gave him six weeks in
the house of correction.
"You see," said Lewis, afterward,
"when I used to drink I had no Idea
how much was enough. When I would
get to feeling good I thought I had
money in every bank in the country,
I did not mean to be dishonest."

New York, Dec. 7.—Photographs
of the city's pioneer and only woman
liack driver, Mrs. John Allen, ninety
years old, were today submitted to
the public service commission with
the application of the Brooklyn and
Jamaica Bay Railway Company. The
application is for a certificate of put
lie conveyance and a necessity for a
new trolley road to Jamaica Bay. It
reveals that the Old Mill section of
Jamaica, which this new trolley lino
proposes to reach, has been served
in transportation needs for thirty
yeara by the hack line conducted by
Mr. and Mrs. John Allen, nonogenar
lane. Mrs. Allen baa driven a hack
for thirty years and Is well known
to the summer colonists Of Jamaica
Bay.
The company, which was Incorpor
ated on June 2, 1910, and of which
norace J. Subers Is president, filed
its petition through J. Douglas Wet
mere, attorney. It proposes to build
a trolley line from the Intersection of
Moutauk avenue and Liberty avenue
Brooklyn, southerly through Mon
tauk avenue to Fairfield avenue, and
through Fairfield avenue to Railroad
avenue and thence through private
porperty to the mouth of Spring or
Mill creek, where it empties Into Ja-
maica Bay. The application stated
that the nearest trolley road to the
proposed line is the Rockaway av
enue line terminating at Canarsic,
which is more than a mile distant
from the proposed route; that the
proposed trolley road is a necessity
for hundreds of persons from the
Twenty-sixth warfl of Brooklyn and
thousands from other parts of the
city who throng to the shore of the
bay at this point during the aumuer
season.
Among the exhibits which accom-
panied the application were photo-
graphs of the Old Mill and some of
the boatfaouses along did Mill creek
together with those of John Allen
and wife, who, the petition says,
"have driven hacks to and from Old
Mill creek for the past thirty years,
both of whom are ninety years of
age, which will give some idea of the
kind of transportation on which the
property owners and frequenters of
Old Mill Creek have been depending
for many years past."
Notwithstanding their advanced age
the old couple are bale and hearty.
They came from Quebec originally.
The old man Is said to have a keen
senae of humor, and It is bis habit of
late to regale hie patrons with his
wit while he drives them to the Old
Mill.
Mrs. Allen is abl« to drive the
hack herself, and when her husband
baa other duties to perform sbs fre-
quently pilots a hack load of paa-
sengers over the familiar road.

WHITELAW REID ON LINCOLN.
1 place him far above any other of
your shining list of the makers of
history in the nineteenth century—
far above Blrmarck, far above Gam-
betta or Mazzini, or the Marquis Ito.
Though personally modest, .and sen-
sitive, he was from his earliest man-
hood a persistent office seeker, and
the most ambitious of men.
He was an ardent partisan and the
most skillful master of men and of
all the intricacies in the game of pol-
itics known in his state.
He was not perpetually telling hum-
orous and sometimes risque stories
in the White House. For "every one
he did tell a hundred poorer and
coarser ones have been fathered on
him.
At the most critical period of his
life he was the victim of such mel
ancholla that his friends feared for
his reason. Always when not in an
lmated conversation he was the most
melancholy looking of men.
To regard this highest and staidest
statesman of this i^entury as a mere
professlonel wearer of cap and bells
is the last indignity belittling his
blood-earned laurels.
He knew his Bible better than any
other book. He was never a member
of any church.
Birmingham, Eng., Dec. 7.—The Am
erican ambassador, Whitelsw Reid,
today delivered an address before Bir
mlngham university on Abraham Lin
coin, closing the course which has
been in progress on "The Makers of
History in the Nineteenth Century.
Mr. Reld spoke from personal ac
quaintance and close familiarity with
the career of the great American
stateman. His address was notable in
clearing away many of the popular
misapprehensions concerning Lin
coin. Mr. Reid referred to the eman
cipator as not in the least a simple
minded rustic, or a professional re-
former, but on the contrary an ardent
partisan and a master hand in the in
tricacies of the game of politics. A1
though personally modest and sensi
tive, Lincoln was pictured as being
from his earliest manhood a persistent
office seeker and the most ambitious
of men.
Mr. Reid dwelt upon Lincoln's abil-
ities as a story teller, maintaining
that with all his wit and humor, he
was not perpetually telling humorous
and sometimes risque stories in the
White House. Ths ambassador said
that for every story told by Linhpln
while president, a hundred poorer and
coarser stories hav« been fathered on
him. Mr. Reid said that this Bacred
name of Lincoln should not be taken
as a convenient decoration for some
popular humorist and jokesmith by
trade—to so regard him was "the last
Indignity from the sentimental school
which he distrusted in life and which
has belittled bis blood-earned laurels.
Mr. Reid traced the oareer of Lin-
coln from his earliest pioneer days
and dwelt at length upon the final
stages of his career during and at
the conclusion of the civil war. He
summed up his estimate as follows:
"You have rightly selected him as
the chief Amerkhan maker of history
in the nineteenth century. The world
long ago chose another as our chief
maker of history tdr the eighteenth
century. I venture to think Qeorge
Washington and Abraham Lincoln
not inferior to any bobs of the race
born in those centuries under any
skies—nay more, I venture to^hink
that In the whole long and glorious
history of that race, while its history
was ours as well as yours, they have
never been surpassed."

YOUNG WOMEN MAP OUT ROUTES
FOR WINTER JAUNTS
Long Trips Are 8aid to Be a Cuie
For Insomnia—School Sanc-
tions the Club.
New York, Dec. 7.—Ihe Tramping
or WfcMtou Club, uiMcle up of a iiuuiL>t*r
of athletic young women students of
the normal college of the city oi New
York, Park avenue and Sixty-eighth
street. Is beginning to map out ruulea
for its peregrinations during the com-
ing season of cold weather. That it
undoubtedly benefits uem, both from
an eduh«iuonal aud physiological
standpoint, is readily been, lur not
one ot the members of Ihe club baa
any bodily ailments, 'lbey plan to
keep their rosy cheeks, bright eyes
and happiness by their walking They
never worry or lake their Kcbool dui-
les too seriously.
As one of the yoang ladies viva-
ciously remarked when asked whether
she was ever seized with the "blues.
"Why, no, How can you when your
blood Is really red?" Thus, the old
adage "I'll sleep over it" has been
changed to "I'll walk over It" by some
tP».y normalites.
No one in the club knows positively
Just where she will tramp on the days
given over to recreation. The- stu-
dents simply start out and make for
the Central Park reservoir, fhere
they make a tour asewf thai body of
water. Then again ttsjr may "bike"
It up to Bronx Park and roam in Lbs
woods for hour». Once they took a
long gtroll while the weather was
most Inclement. All bad very wet
feet, but not one suffered from colds.
Again the time-worn proverb that
"wet feet and coldS are companions'
was disputed, because people who ars
healthy are not susceptible to holds.
When asked where the Idea of the
tramping club originated, none of the
girls seemed to be able to answer.
One of them said however, that in-
stead of sitting in their stuffy apart-
ments, bending over a pot of fudge,
as most college girls are wont to do,
they organized the pedestrian club.
Helving In heavy tomes for five or
six hours causes many of the students
to be all fagged out when they are
dismissed, so in order to offset this
confinement, it was suggested by the
profsasor of hygiene and physiology
that the girls band together and or-
ganize a walking club and take long
walks to various places «f interest in
the city.
The first day only a few students
started out on their walk, but in less
than a week so enthusiastic had they
become with the idea fhat some fifty
students were enrolled as members of
the society.
While the walking club is a student
organization, the committee on athlet-
the haa approved the scheme and has
given some sage advice to the Weston-
lans as to Just how far to walk without
doing bodily injury to themselves.
Most of the girls walk five miles.
Some however, more athletic than
their comrades, have made a practice
to walk ten miles at least three times
a week.
Although nothing has been said by
the committee on athletics. It Is ex-
pected that many' of the candidates
for athletic honors this year will come
from the ranks ot the tramping club.
All of the young women who take
long walks woke most enthusiaatlca!-
ly about tBfeir latest fad. It is a well
known fact that one who uses his
brain to any extent during the day
Invariably suffers with Insomnia—
not so with the walking club.
"Go home and take a warm bath,
followed by an alcoholi^ rubdown!
and there is nothing In the world
that can Induce yon to stay awake
more than Ylfteen minutes after you
have retired," said one of the young-
eat girls of the club as she said good-
bye to some of her more delicate
friends who were about to board a
trolley car and ride some ten blocks,
while she of the athletic turn of mind
Joined her companions who were about
to start on a short jaunt of not less
than five m<lea.
