IUTTLK WITH Wlr'K MURDERER After Cutting Hi Wife's Throat Man Was Trapped by Orfiiwi Ami Sells Out Dearly. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 19. Adam J. Boehler, who held a squad of lifty policemen at bay for eight hours this morning, was shot and killed shortly before noon by city detectives who forced their way In to Boehler's btronghold in a down town rooming house after the man tad been partially overcome by the fumes of formaldehyde forced into the room through holes cut In lb walls and floors. Boehler and the police, the lat ter stationed at half a dozen points of vantage in neighboring buildings, exchanged an intermittent fire throughout the raornlng while oth ers of the attacking party succeed ed in reaching the floor above that on which the man was entrench ed. Holes were bored through the floor and quantities of formaldehyde were poured into the room. When all appeared quiet in the room where Boehler was holding, four de tectives stormed the barricaded door .nd in the exchange of shots Boeh ler's body was riddled with bul lets. Throngs of persons crowded the streets in the immediate vicinity of the building and did not disperse un til the final act la the tragedy occur red. Spnulding Parsons was shot and probably mortally wounded; Jesse Wooten, police officer, was seriously wounded and Charles Davis, a po licemnn, was slightly hurt early to day as the result of an attempt to capture Adam J. Hcehler. a tinner, who almost severed his wife's head with a razor last night. Boehler was supplied with ammunition, and barricaded himself in a rooming house in the central part of the city and efforts to dislodge him were fruitless. Policemen armed with riot guns had been stationed at positions com manding nil the exits or the build ing. It was not thought that Boeh ler, who had declared his ententlon to fight so long as his amunition would hold out, could be taken alive Parsons, who is a drug clerk, wag shot through mistake by Po lice Sergeant Julius Brett, Wooten and Davis who were standing guard in a hallway Jjust outside the room occupied by Boehler were fired on by the fugitive. Boehler who came to Memphis from lndlanna in a house boat, at tacked his wife, from whom he was seperated In a boarding nous? where she had apartments with her four-year-old daughter. Other oc cupants of the house heard the two scuffling but the only witness to the killing was the child who met officers who had been summoned with the announcement that "Papa has killed mamma." The ninnia was found lying on the f! Mr, her throat cut. She died within a few minutes. According to the child Boehler, alter cutting the woman's throat, deliberated a mo ment, washed his hands and left be fore the policemen arrived. Boehler was traced to his room Ing house on M.iin street nenr Ad inns street, where ha had entrench cil himself after driving his doom mate from the room. A demand that he surrender was replied to wad a moment later, Parsons, at traded by the shooting appeared on i; balcony of cn adjoining building Brett, armed with a riot gun was (landing guard on the sireet fifty ycards distant and when he saw the figure of the man and an exclania tlon of warning from a bystander, onenrd fire. Ono of tbo bullets lodged iu Parsons abdomen, anoth er in his leg and another in his thigh. It Is not thought that he tan recover. Wooten and D;ivls were shot an hour later. Opening the door Just enough to put forth the barrel of his rifle, Boehler opened fire in the darkness. One of his bullets struck Wooten In the right shoulder and nasscd through his body. His right lung was perforated and while hlB wounds are serious it is not regarded as necessarily fatal, A bullet grazed Davis' face but aft er the abrasion was dressed he re turned his post with tho besieging party. Boehler s lira was returned Lut Is Is not thought that he was wounded. The building v.hcro the man was holding forth Is an old four story structure nnd the cnty means of ex It are narrow front and rear stair wars and a window. Ha was in a room on the second floor toward tho center of the build ing. All tho other occupants of the house made hurried exits when warn ed by Boehlers 'room mate. Winm r in !tr ('urn Club.

Yurlwirough Threw n from Buggy anil Died Yesterday .Morning Mule itecamv Frightened at Cigarette Caused A not li r Kunaw ay Deail Young Man .Showed No Marks of Vio lence. Raymond Yarborough, the twenty- year-old son of Mr. E. G. Yar borough of Jackson township, was thrown from a buggy in Waxhaw Sunday evening and died from the effects yesterday morning. The tragedy occured Just after dark. The boy had spent the day in his community and attended church at Rehobeth, his home church, and In the evening drove over to Waxhaw. He was standing with his buggy and mule in front of the Rone drug store preparing to start home when the mule start ed. Mr. Yarborough struck a match to light his cigarette and this fright ened the mule. As the animal Uarted, he sprang Into the buggy, but failed to get the lines up In time to control the mule. The ani mal dashed to the left and near tho A. W. Heath Company's hard ware store, Mr. Yarborough was thrown out. No one saw him fall. and Just how or where he received the fatal blow is not known. The supposition is that he cither struck & telephone post or a tree that was near, and then fell to the cement sidewalk. He was taken up uncon scious and carried to the home of his uncle, Mr. Green Austin, near by. As there was no serious marks on his body, only a slight scratch on the head, his Injuries were thought not to ba serious. Some time in the morning he became con- j8clous and was raised to i sitting JOY TO THE WORLD. I.

The Christmas spirit Is the Mess ing the day brings and not the pres ent that too often mean nothing at all. It is the time to be at peace with all the world; to curb the pas sions and repress the evil that rises in our hearts; to lift no our eyes and see beyond the narrow circle of our lives. This Is the time fcr us to prac tice the Golden Rule, though all through the year we may be hard and cold. It Is the day on which the genial currents of the soul should run full and free the sunshine of our lives. The burden of giving presents has overshadowed and obscured the larger blessing of the Christ mas tide and we shrink back from what should be the happiest period of the year for fear we have not ful filled the commercial obligations it entails. From year to year we offer our readers the same advice nnd that is to read the "Christmas Carol." by Charles Dickens and learn there how homes of poverty and toil may be radiant and beautiful because of the sweet, spirit cf the Christmas' time. Lame and little as he was Billy Crate-hit said Tiny Tim told him coming home from church on Christmas Day, "that he hoped the people saw hiin in the church, be cause he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant for them to remember upon Christmas Day. who made lame beggars walk and blind men to see.

Last night the ladles of the lo- cal betterment association at Rock Rest held a most unique and inter esting spelling match, for tho pur pose of raising money to paint the interior of tho school building The rule was that eneh speller agreed to pay ten cents for every word he missed and to keep it up as long as his pocket book would hold out If his nerve was as strong as his pocket book. Some of them were not. Mr. Tom Ashcraft faint ed when he had spelled up a dol lar and a half's worth, and others dropped by the wayside. Mr. John H. Williams, a staid citizen of the community, spelled till his change got low and his heart weak. The honor of the occasion was carried off by Mrs. Ashcraft, widow of Ma J. J. B. Ashcraft. who used to be a teacher. She Is perhaps about the best speller in the county. They gave her about everything in the blueback, and finally quit without having won a cent of her money, for they could not find a word that she could not spell.

For Christmas is the one day that belongs to the poor, and that man is at mighty poor business who at tempts to change it into a day for the rich.

Go Over the Platform Job Hunt ers Had Betttr Not be tt:o Anx lulls About it. Princeton, N. J., Dec. 21 After a day of lengthy conferences in Ttenton the most important of which was with W. J. Bryan, President elect Woodrow Wilson returned to night to his home here, tired and ready for rest. So far as light or. tiie gossip as to Mr. Bryan's future relations with the administration, th,' conference between tho two to day was productive of nothing more than speculation. Mr. Wilson said very frankly that while ho had talk ed about ni'ii for his cabinet with Mr. Bryan the name of the Xebras- k;:n was not mentioned. As to furth er conferencis with Mr. Bryan, none whs talked of or arranged, .Mr. Wil son said. Discussing tonight the subject of patronage, the president-elect made It evident that those who expect to get political appoint ments from him bad better not try to manifest their ambition In person cr apply directly to him in any way. "I have a sort of general princi ple." he said, "that those who ap ply for offices will be the least like ly to get them." Then a great number has been disqualified alrendy," he was asked. ' i OS, was the smiling reply. The question reminded the presi dent-elect of a letter he had receiv ed from an office seeker. "One man wrote me," related Mr. Wilson " saying he was thinking of applying and would like to know from me personally what was the best way to go about it." 'There was no reply, he said. Ho added that he, of course, ex pected to take advice about patron age and would be guided 111 a great many appointments by the recom mendations of members of Congress. The summoning of Mr. Bryan to discuss legislative policies and the personnel of the cabinet was, the resident-elect indicated, one of a series of steps which he is taking to determlno upon the fitness of individuality for the cibinet. Mr. W llson intends, morover, to carry out literally his plan of being the "best listener In the United States" and expects to contluue to "take common counsel" for some time, perhaps as late ns March 1, before making final decisions of an nouncements. In view of Mr. Bryan's connec tion with the drafting of the Demo cratic platform today's conference concerned largely plans for carrying out platform pledges. The governor was asked If Mr. Bryan seemed to be In favor of any precedence In the order of leglsla.- tion. "We went over the platform In a general way," replied tha govern er, "with no special emphasis on one plank more than another." The Lever bill to remove the special tax of 10 cents a pound from colored oleomargarine is tied up In the House committee on Agri culture. A desperate fight was Law ; into f'ffeet Jaiiuuiy 11 and there are many tioiiitN that You Should Know Sixi-inl Stamp Ibquintf ILivv Pack age Should be ln'mn'd for the .Mail. Mr. Willie Love, of the Monroe post office, tells the Journal that there is great interest manifested in the new parcels post law which goes Into effect the first of January. Of course the people are at sea as to just what the requirements are, and hence the following informa tion will be timely. In the first place, anything that is not of a very perishable charac ter ana not liable to cause injury may be mailed, and any size that Is not more than 72 inches in both girth and length combined, tnd docs not weigh more than eleven pounds. The price depends upon the weigh and distance. The country is divid ed into zones. The first zone is a distance of fifty miles, the second is 150. the third is 3"0, the fourth is 600 milts, mid so on. Besides this there is a local rate applicable to packages to be delivered at the same office at which they are mail ed and on rural routes therefrom. The local rate is five cents for the first pound and one cent addi tional for every additional pound, making the maximum of eleven pounds cost fifteen Pints. In zone one.a distance not to ex ceed fifty miles, the price is five cents for the first pound and three cents additional for each addition al pound, making the maximum of eleven pounds cost thirty five cents. In zone two, a distance no! exceed ing 150 miles, the price is six cents for the first mile and four cents ad ditional for every additional pound, making the maximum of eleven pounds cost 46 cents. In third zone, not exceeding a distance of three hundred miles, the rate Is seven cents for the first pound and five cents additional for each additional pound, making the maximum of eleven pounds cost 57 cents. In zone four, not exceeding 600 miles, the first pound is eight cents and six cents additional for each ad ditional pound. This runs cn up the scale till the package may be mailed anywhere in the United tates fcr twelve cents for the first pound and twelve cents ad ditional for each additional pound. Parcels weighing four ounces or less are mailable at the rate of one cent for eneh ounce or fraction of an ounce, regardless of the distance. Parcels weighing more than four ounces are mailable ut the pound rate. A fraction of a pound being considered a pound. Parcels must he prepared for mail ing in such a manner that the con tents may be easily examined at the office of mailing. Stumps are oflen placed across strings with which packages are tied, thereby rendering them first-class, and doubling the losta?;e. A parcel will poe.tivcly not ha v.r orpted for mailing unless it botira the name and address of tbo send er which Is required. It is permissi ble to write or print on the cover ing of a parcel the occupation of the sender nnd to Indicate In a small space a brief description of the character of the parcel, but ainplrf space must be left for the full ad dress, and the necessary stamps. In scrlptlons such lis "Merry Christ mas, "Please do not open until Christmas," "Happy new year,", "With best wishes" nnd tho lll.e may b? placed on the covering of the parcel In Bitch a manner as not to interfere with the address. Parcels may be insured against loss In an amount equivalent to lis actual value, but not to exceed $50, for a fee of ten cents. Fourth class matter will no long er be admitted to the registered malls because of the insurance fea ture Mentioned above. Parcels will under no circumstan ces bs accepted for mailing until distinctive parcel post stamps have been attached. Ordinary p:sta-'e stuups are of no value on this class of nuttier. Much time will be saved, and the mails often advanced by using a little precaution in the preparation of mail for mailing befo.'e bringing it to the office.
