Well Known Woman Dies Miss Mary L. Jewell, Popular Evanston Church Worker and Chicago Teacher Suc- cumbed Wednesday. FUNERAL ON THURSDAY Miss Mary L. Jewell, sister of Miss Helen M. Jewell, probation officer of Evanston, and daughter of the late Dr. James Stuart Jewell, died early Wednesday morning at her home in Evanston after a short illness. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the chapel at Graceland cemetery. There were no services at the house. Dr. Amos W. Patten, professor of Biblical history at Garrett Biblical Institute, and a close friend of the family, officiated. Though the death of Miss Jewell was sudden, it was not unexpected. For some time she had been complaining of terrific pains in the head. A week ago she was strikened. A hemorrhage the brain developed and then little hope was held out for her ultimate re- recovery. End Was Peaceful. The end came peacefully early Wednesday morning, her sister, Miss Helen Jewell, her only relative, being present when she passed away. Though for years she had been in delicate health she never complained to her friends and she was noted for her happy disposition and winning ways. For a number of years she had been a teacher in the Rogers Park pub- lic school, where she carried the love and esteem of her pupils. It was with the greatest sorry they learned yester- day of her death and their loss. Had she lived Miss Jewell would have been 44 years old the 13th day of this month. She was born in Evans- ton and received her early education from a governess employed in her home. Her father, the late Dr. James Stuart Jewell, was one of the best known physicians in this country, being a specialist on nervous diseases. Family Moved Away. After residing here for a number of years the family moved to Chicago. After the death of Mrs. Jewell, Dr. Jewell and his two daughters resided in Florida, after which they returned to Evanston. Miss Jewell was a prominent and ac- tive worker in the Covenant Methodist church and the news of her death brought genuine sorrow to the mem- bers of the congregation, to whom she had become so intimately known by her loyal and faithful services in the different societies of the church. For the past two years Miss Jewell had resided with her sister in a bun- galow which they had erected at 2708 Hartzell street. Little Tells Experiences Famous War Correspondent Spoke Monday Before Members of St. Mark's Men's Club. TOLD GOOD STORIES Richard Henry Little, better known as "Dick" Little, noted war corres- pondent, lecturer, humorist, and Chi- cago journalist, gave the members of St. Mark's Men's club on Monday an inkling of the hardships endured by war correspondents, the lack of com- mon sense of desk editors relative to the conditions the correspondent is working under, and of the handicaps war correspondents place general of armies under. The talk by Mr. Little was exceed- ingly interesting and greatly enjoyed by the 200 members present. The de- livery of the speaker is as unusual and as odd as his appearance, but when he started to mix his humor with cold facts, intermingled occasion- ally with a new joke, his listeners soon forgot his delivery and laughed with him as he told the different ex- periences he went through while a correspondent in the Japanese-Rus- sian war. "The days of the war correspondent are about over," said the speaker. "Armies now consider them a nui- sance, and rightly, too. Many of the men who are sent out by newspapers to 'cover' a war are men who have had little experience in a campaign. They are generally men with an office pull. They are unfamiliar with army life, and their demands upon the officers are so great that they become a real nuisance. "The telegraph is what has killed the war correspondent game. Before the telegraph system was perfected to the high eartent it is today the cor respondent* mailed their stories, Which aid mot reach the home office tor nearly a months In that way they could ..writ* in full Just what was going on and what was expected to take place. , All Is Changed. "But now all is changed. If you wire a dispatch to your home office and It contains any news concerning an army movement it is wired back to the opposing army within a few hours. On account of this the army censor allows nothing definite to be sent out. In fact the war corres- pondent cannot send anything until a battle has been fought " "Armies treat the correspondents well enough, but they block every at- tempt to send out information to their papers. The Japanese had this down to a fine science. They were so cour- teous that we were unable to do any- thing. They wouldn't let us get any- where near to the front for fear that we would obtain information relative to their movements. They gave as their reasons that they feared for our safety. In this way they kept us month after month miles behind where the army was entrenched. They treats ed us nicely all the time, but their system of preventing news to leak out to the outside world regarding the movement of their army wan so per- fect that nothing definite ever was released." Told of Experience.. Mr. Little then told of an experi- ence he had in attempting to get some information to his hornet office; He knew that the battle of Mukden was to be begun in the spring. "He re- mained awake all one night to arrange a message that he thought would im- part the knowledge to his editor and at the same time be approved by the censor. This is the message, he de- cided upon: "Will need great amount of money when battle starts insuring." When spring arrived he sent this mes- sage: "Now need great amount of money." To his surprise he received this message a few days later: "Be more definite relative amount needed." Mr. Little stated that instead; of the telegram going to the managing editor It bad gotten into the hands of the business manager. With no ear for news he had looked at it from a purely business standpoint The speaker told of several other humorist incidents that arose when correspondents at- tempted to cheat the censor. COMMEND DEEDS OF NAVAL DISASTER HEROES Letters of commendation for their gallant conduct Sept. 15, when a naval training station cutter capsized near Lake Bluff and eleven seamen lost their lives, were mailed Sunday by Acting Secretary of the Navy Beck- man Winthrop to Stanley Field of Lake Forest and Leo Butman, Stewart Grant and Herbert L.

His winter residence is at 1808 Prairie Avenue. He aided in the rescue of fourteen naval station recruits who survived the wreck of the cutter.

Grant, 18 years old, saved the |ives of three in a like manner, and Flint distinguished himself at the same work. The naval station cutter, in com- mand of Gunner's Mate Walter K.
