because her husband took the young
woman's part. Another cause of fam
lily pickering was Places refusal 10
have his wife's adopted son live with
them. The woman was much inferior
to her husband and stepdaughter in
education and social qualities, and
many friends of Mr.. Place had cut his
acquaintance on account of his mar
riage to the woman. Miss Place was
popular with the families in the neigh
borhood and this also made the STEP
mother jealous. Mrs Places story Of
the crime was that she had thrown
carbolic acid in her stepdaughter's
face during one of their quarrels, and
then got the axe to defend herself from
an attack by her daughter, but it came
out during the trial that she had made
preparations for flight and had writ
ten to her brother that she would go
to him.

vine, Dr. McKenna and Dr. Griffin per-
formed the autopsy in the afternoon.
The body was then removed from the
prison to the understaker's where it
was embalmed. The body will be
shipped to New Brunswick, N. j. where
the interment will take place.
Mrs. Place killed her stepdaughter,
Ida Place, % years old, at their home
in Brooklyn, on February I, 1893.
While the girl was taking an afternoon
nap, Mrs. Place split her skull open
with an axe, and poured vitrol on her
face and into her mouth. The same
evening the woman lay in wait for her
husband, William w. Place, in the
1arkened hallway of the house, and
when he entered she struck him in the
face with an axe, inficting a serious
wound. He managed to get outside
the front door and alarm the neighbors
before he became unconscious. When
the police and neighbors entered the
house they found Mrs. Place in a bed
room in which gas was escaping, and
she was shamming Inconsistencies.
Mr.. Place recovered consciousness and
said his wife had tried to murder him.
The motive for the womans crime was
jealousy of her stepdaughter. Place.
first wife died six or seven years ago,
and about 10 months afterwards he en-
gagged the woman who became his
second wife, to act as his housekeeper.
Her maiden name was Garretson, but
she had been married to man named
Savacoll, now dead. AS long as she
was housekeeper she was extremely
kind to Places daughter, Ida, but she
became quite different person when
Place married her. She was possessed
of an ungovernable temper which led
to frequent quarrels with Ida, and
Mrs. Place was very much embittered

MRS. PLACE ELECTROCUTED.
Pays the Penalty for Numbering Her
Stepdaughter, Ida.

New York, March 21.-Mrs. Martha
Place was executed at Sing Sing pri-
son yesterday. She was the first Wo-
man to die in the electric chair in New
York, and she went to her death quiet
ly. Death was instantaneous, but two
shocks were given. State Electrician
Davis threw down the lever at exactly
lilo a. m. The voltage was 1,760 and
it continued four seconds. 1t was then
gradually diminished to 200 voltage,
which continued Sc seconds. DR.. r.
vine, prison physician, examined the
woman and then ordered second
shock. That was the same as the first
in power and continued for the same
time. The second shock has always
been administered at Sing Sing. This
was the Goth electrocutiOn at Sing
Sing. Mrs. Places body was allowed
to remain where it was strapped about
20 minutes and then carried to the
room. Prison Physician r.

PRESIDENT AND PARTY Al
HANDSOME RESORT.
SPEAKER REED THERE TOO
Visit of Two Political Rivals at the

Given a Warm Welcome When he
Arrives at Brunswick.

Brunswick, Ga, March 21.-Presl-
dent Mckinley rested last night on
JekyI island, at the beautiful Wlnte3
club home of a number of eastern MIL
lionaires on ST. Simon's sound, ten
miles up the coast from Brunswick
With him were Mrs. Mckinley, Vice
President and Mrs Hobart, and Sena-
tor Hanna. They are guests or ex-
Secretary of Interior Bliss, whom the
president promised to visit last sum-
mer In another cottage on the IS
land is Speaker Reed. All the persons
in any way concerned in their presence
at Jekyl island assert positively and
unreservedly that the visit of the two
rival political leaders at the same time
is a mere coincidence. The speaker
probably will leave Jekyl this after
noon or tomorrow and the presidential
party tomorrow forenoon. When the
president arrived here in the
afternoon from Thomasville he
was welcomed by ex-Secretary
Bliss, Author Thomas Nelson
Page, Cable Promoter j. A Scrymser
and Coal Operator Joseph Stockney Of
Philadelphia, who with Mayor Atkin-
son and Former Mayor Crovatt, es-
corted the president to Jekyl island
Late in the afternoon the president
and vice president went out driving
The stay of the president at Jekyl will
be made as pleasant and likewise as
informal as possible. The president
and party are quartered in the cottage
of Frederic Baker, who is in Europe
travelling.

SPAIN HAD NO DOMINION

WASHINGTON. Nov lin view Of
the current discussion of the military
agreement between General Bates and
the sultan OF Zulu. the views OF Presi-
dent Schurman Of the PHILIPPINE COM
mission on this subject are interesting.
Mr. Schurman was one Of the first
Americans to visit Jolo, the seat Of the
Spanish government In the sulu arohi-
pelago, and had an extended interview
with the sultan before the arrival of
General Bates. The arrangement en-
tered into between General Bates and
the sultan was considerably influenced
by this meeting. Although the full text
of the agreement with the sultan has
not been made public by the Washing
ton authorities, It can be stated that It
practically conforms to the previous
convention existing between the sultan
and the Spanish government,
In this agreement, Spain never
claimed any more than an external pro-
teotorate in the Sulu group, the right to
suppress piracy in Its waters and pre-
vent the periodical mgrations Of oath
bound Mohammedans who went to the
northern islands under a vow to kill
Christians and thus secure an entrance
into paradise.
Professor Schurman said today when
questioned about the probable continu-
anoe OF polygamy and slavery in the
islands after they came under American
dominion that this was a subject which
would have to be dealt with in the most
careful fashion to bring about an ult-
mately satisfactory solution.
1T seems to me-" said he, that were
II not for the ignorance displayed, the
present hue and cry about polygamy
and slavery in these islands would be
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-11-02

absolutely criminal. In taking over the
Sulu group We have Acquired no rights
except those bequeathed to us by Spain
She was bouud by her agreement with
the sultan not to interfere with the re-
liglon or customs Of the Islands. and It
would be most unwise for us to attempt
this by force when 1t can be ulti-
mately accomplished by the slower
method Of civilization and education.
The sulu group contains about 1OO-
Geo inhabitants. They are all Moham-
medans as are about 10000 OF the res
ldents Of MIndanao directly east, To
attempt to interfere with the religion
OF these people would preeipitate one
OF the bloodlest wars in which this
country has ever been engaged. They
ape a different race, physically and
mentally, from the residents Of the
Vlsayan islands, powerful men and re-
llglous fanatics OF the most pronounced
type, who care nothing for death and
believe that the road to heaven can be
attained by killing Christians, Polyg-
amy is a part Of their religion, and the
slavery about which so much is being
said is a mild type of feudal bondage,
"The sultan believes from what he
has seen of Americans that they are
ready to be friendly and deal honestly
with him. Our soldiers and officers al
ready travel into the interior Of Jolo
with perfect impunity where Spaniards
never dared to set foot. 1t has been
suggested Indirectly TO the sultan that
he should maintain an American of
good standing as a confidential adviser
at his court to aid him in the work of
material development, for which the
beautiful group OF islands is ready, and
which is bound to come when they are
thrown in touch with the civilized
world,
II believe that he will take kindly to
this suggestion, and the leaven of civ
ilization introduced In this way ulti-
mately will do the work which armed
interference with immoral religious
customs never could accomplish, We
have before us in this case the exam
pie of England in her various posses
sions and the Dutch in Java, where a
remarkable work Of civilization and
progress has been accomplished. We
should take leaf out of their book,
which shows that semi -barbarous peo-
Pile frequently can be led where they
could not be driven,
II have been already harshly criti-
cized for taking this stand in regard to
the sulu islands since returned to the
