Jcnown to those near and dear to her, and especially by the 'children, as "Aunt Nora," closed her eyes in death on Friday afternoon at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. aud "Mrs. C. R. Winfield, 18 Seventh street, her passing being as beautiful as her long and fruitful life.

She died as she slept and those who watched by her bedside did not realize when the last spark of life had faded. For the past few days she" "had slept peacefully and when she awakened it was on the other side, with husband and children. She had for "years been in "In: valid and during those long years, seldom has there been seen such' devotion, as that shown by the daughter, Mrs. Winfield, to her aged and failing mother. For years WlnQeld has denied herself all the pleasures dear to most people in order that her parent should not for a moment be neglected.

She anticipated her every3rantand as does a fond parent for an ailing child. It was a wonderful example of devotion and affection. Mrs. West had been fib long nn invalid that her loved ones rejoice that her trials are o'er and would not bring her back if they could. SANTA ROSA; Sr James Sebastopol grammar school principal and former Petaluma minister, denied last night that he had been cruel or violent in his punishment of Henry Fowler, 10-year-old pupil, S.

D. father of the boy, announcced that he would swear to a warrant in the Sebastopol justico court today, charging Allen with battery for what. Fowler terms "an inhuman beating." At the same time the Sebastopol grammar school trustees will begin 'an investigation of the accident, which led Fowler yesterday to confer with authorities hero ItU a view 1 0 action against the educator. Allen, in an interview with the Press Democrat, admitted having punished Henry Fowler and his playmate, Jin Hem Hop, 11, Chinese, on Thursday afternoon for lying. But, he said, ho substituted a willow switch for the usual strap to lessen the severity of" the punishment, and did not apply the switch in temperor unwarranted vigor.

The punishment was witnessed by Mrs. Ethel Howard, vico-principal. Marks that appeared on Henry's and which Fowler displayed to officers here yesterday, he accounted for by the theory that tho boy's skin bruised easily. There were no marks on tho body of Jin Hem Hop, although he was punished more severely than the Fowler boy, Allen asserted. Teachers "of the grammar school and members of tho board of trustees, it was reported here from Sebastopol, appeared confident yesterday that Allen had not used force in punishment.

Henry was punished, it was explained, because hp and his Chinese playmate had lied in claiming ownership of knife found by another boy near the schools and which they took from.

Polk. PRESIDENT Coolldge's congressional program calls for tax reduction as well as debt reduction. Recently it was intimated that his interest was entirely in debt reduction, but from the White House a definite intimation went forth that he was also hoping for a saving in taxes. His success in either or both of these fields, however, will jfo nd a I utely on the 1 11 1 g-- ness of the congressmen to curb their own desires for expendi tures out of the public funds.
