PLOT CHARGED BY WIDOW Woman Held for Larceny Says For- t one's Being Kept for Her. NEW YORK, Dec 19. Protesting-that she was the victim of a conspiracy, Mrs. Edith Wilson, a young- widow, who asserts that a large fortune Is be ing held for her, went to the Tombs un der an Indictment charging her with grand larceny. She Insisted that she had been victimised by those who were trying to prevent ber from getting pos session of her money, and that she was entirely innocent of the crime with which she was charged. Mrs. Wilson got the nickname of "The Vanishing Widow" in March. 1914. when her disappearance from a hotel here caused creditors to attach ber strong box In the United States Safe Deposit Company. In It they "found newspsper clippings and railroad time tables instead of the 11.000.000 In se curities and gems it was supposed to contain.

Christinas on the Off-Trail. W thought we had forgotten all the years thut lis buhlnd us; And though no virion beckons through th years that wait ahead. Tb white and scarlet berries of th season still remind us That dreams were merely sleeping whlfth we tliought forever dead. For. vagabonds. It's Christmas. And the clans are congregating; O, vagabonds, it's Christmas, And we've come so far away; And 1b the lonesome shadows Thav are waiting, walttnc. waitlnr For those who've loat the road that leads Ta home on Christmas day. We met our mate, the tramping wind, and so w let it land us From one with rose-blood In her veins and sunshine in her batr: It called us from a mother who we thought would never need us tTntil the gray December winds brought In her silent prayer. For Christmas on the off-trail Isn't what we used to think it; The little horns are calling With the roll-best of tne arum; And as ai lift our mocking toast And sullenly we drink. It, A kid calls. "Mother, mother" And w know how far we've come. Gray ghosts across th drifting years, they come upon our dreaming;. The kids we used to know before w knew the rover's fate The little strclilnss by the hearth, in mother lov a-streaming-From weary eye that look In vain beyond an old-time gate. O. vagabond, tomorrow W e will start wun rag ann p. And leave a merry song behind without a nartlne word: But now we'd give our soul to know The Christmas highway back again. To vhlsper. "Mother, mother," An-1 to know tnat sne nao ntara. e e e rt PEAKING of 1915 records, we have a. run across the most Inspired K-J printer of- all time. In a certain Middle Western sporting- page he set it up "Organized Bull." a a a If the baseball scribes are ever sent to Europe to cover the war, it takes no wonderful prophet to know their headquarters will bo, viz.. La Panne. France, a a . The Fed slogan Is "Peace at any slice if the slice is big enough." a a a The Idea seems to be highly preva lent both among the Feds and O. B. that sportsmanship depends upon the sixe of one's bankroll. The more kale a man has the finer sportsman he is. Which, most of the time, he Isn't. Money Is the greatest coward that time records. Peace Plus Something Else. "I thought." writes L. H. G., "that you were strong for peace between the Feds and O. B. Tet when peace is launched you break out in violent de nunciations of both." We were and we did. Peace is the nnlv thing that will save baseball. But peace isn't aU. Even peace won't save it If the same old bunch continue to handle the game in the same old way. The time haa come for a new deal for the game for a higher, cleaner type or sportsmanship. Unless that comes, too, peace alone will only put off for a while the day of the death rattle, ant th Klght." Dear Sir It Is announced in today's paper that Theodore' M. McXair. Prince ton '79, is dead In Japan, where for 30 years he had been engaged In mission ary work. He was a hard-hitting dominie. Dr. McXair waa one of the greatest football players Princeton ever had. He played three years against Yale "77, 78 and 79 and never lost a game. He was a great runner and a great kicker. In '73 he beat Harvard by kicking a field goal, the game's only score. In '78, when Walter Camp captained Yale. Mc Nair was largely responsible for Yale's defeat. He was a classmate of Presi dent Wilson. Justice Pitney and others who have attained prominence. Old Princeton grads have always ' ranked him as one of the great players of all time. L. E. p. The Marvel. Forty-one years old and still leading: the pitchers of a Big league. That is the record now maintained by Eddie Plank, the -Gettysburg Guide, who, in his 41st year, led the pitching, in earned runs, as depicted by the Feds. Plank worked in 42 games for St. Louis. Of the S3 games completed, he won 23, lost 11 and tied 1. He allowed but two earned runs to the battle, leading- such men as Tom Season. Claude Hendrix, Cy Falkenberg and other stars. The game has had its pitching won ders, but none to lead a big league with a pitching arm 41 yeara old. The fourth Fed pitcher in the list was Miner Brown, who waa still good enough to win' 17 games and lost but six. Brovrn and Matty. The careers of Brown and Matty, old rivals from eight or nine campaigns back, have had queer and curious twists. In the campaigns of 190S. 1907 and 1908 they were the leading pitching rivals of the game. Then three years ago Brownie wrenched a knee and was shipped back to. the minors. He waa apparently through, as he was then 37 years old. Matty, only 82 years old then, waa figured with a long spin ahead. Yet last season, where Brown won 17 games and lost but 8, Matty drew the worst year of his career, through a neurltic left shoulder. But there Is balm In all this for the Giant star. Plank is a star at 11, and Brown still there at 40. Mathewson at 35 should be a long way from the fin ishing line from the first lap. With that kink unraveled he should still have five seasons ahead, and then be no older than Plank or .Brown Is to day. Another Class Champ. Dear Sir Here is a team that I should back with my little roll against Aymar Embury's from the class of 1900 at Princeton. That was a good array, but how about this one from the class of 1915 at Harvard: Right end, Hardwick; R. T., Trum bull; R. G., Pennock: C, Wig-pies worth: L. G., Weston: L. T.. Withlngton; U K., J.
