Bailey Decker Pays The Penalty Of a
Heinous Crime - Murdered His
Pretty White Wife.

New York, January 9.-Bailey
Decker, colored, was put to death by
electricity in Sing Sing prison to-day
for the murder of his white wife The
current was turned on at 1922 and at
11:27 he was pronounced dead. Two
shocks were given him.
After the current had been turned
on the mask fell from the dying mans
face. Otherwise the execution was a
success.
The crime for which Bailey
Decker was executed to-day was COM
mitted on May %, 1898. His wife was
a pretty white woman, the daaghter of
Jason Luke, of Perth Amboy Decker,
who was an oysterman and worked
only occasionally, was jealous of his
wife, and in drunken rage went to
his home from a saloon in Tottenville
Mrs. Decker had retired and fled from
the house dressed only in her night
gown. Her husband followed her,
and catching up with her shot her in
the back. After leaving the body
lying in the road Decker fired bullet
into his abdomen with the intention
of committing suicide, but he re-

THE CITY CAMPAIGN

The ring organ of Fourteenth street
is naturally very bitter against the
independent movement against the
city ring. It's frantic efforts to make
it appear that it is only a Demo-
cratic scheme will hardly be we'll re-
ceived by the numerous Republicans
in this city who have identified them
selves with the movement to defeat
ring rule in the interest of good and
economical city government. These
Republicans are just as good Republi-
cans as any in State and national
affairs, but they understand that par
tisanship has no place in city affairs
or in a city campaign where the only
issue is between honest and efficient
government and dishonest and ineffi-
cient ring rule.
The organ attempts to make a point
of the fact that a ticket has been
nominated through the regular Demo-
cratic channels. But this is no point
at all, since it manifestly would be
folly for the opponents of the ring to
divide their forces while those of the
ring itself are compact and working
in complete organization and har-
mony. 1t would be ridiculous for the
opponents of ring rule to attempt to
work through any other than the reg
ular Democratic organization to ac-
complish their purpose, since it will
require the combined forces of all the
opponents of the ring to GUST that
thoroughly entrenched body, which
has organized every department of the
city government into an adjunct of
the machine.
The less the ring organ flaunts its
partisanship the less it is likely to dis
gust decent Republicans honestly
striving to purify the city government
and purge its departments of partisan
political influences, which render them
less efficient in the protection of the
lives and property of the citizens, who
pay taxes regardless of party for such
protection and are entitled to the
very best service.

Mr.. Edmunds says that an army OF
at least $4,000 men must be steadily
maintained in these islands to support
our supremacy This force must be
augmented by many warships. As no
white man can live long in that
climate these soldiers and sailors
must be constantly reinforced and
the old troops and sailors withdrawn
four or five thousand miles to the
United States for ,recuperation at reg
ular intervals, while constant
stream of supplies must be kept going.
ITO accomplish all this says Mr..
Edmunds, N'the annual and continuous
expenditure of millions upon millions
of the earnings of our people must go
on indefinitely.
While Mr.. Edmunds believes that it
would produce an extremely embar-
RAISING situation if the Senate should
refuse to ratffy the treaty which the
President has submitted he is equally
firmly convinced that IF the Senate
believes the treaty to be wrong it will
doubtless have the courage to reject
it and to face the consequences
The Senate may, however, in his opin-
ion provide for the independence of
the islands and their people with
such guarantee for order and per-
Sonal safety of the inhabitants as
shall be adequate to the preservation
of order" which guarantee "can be
enforced at infinitely less cost of
blood and treasure than our undertake
ing to assume and exercise sover-
eighty over the islands.
These well-matured views of this
ablest of Constitutional lawyers and
Republican statesman of long stand
ing and eminence in his party can
not but give intelligent and thought
full Republicans pause as they con-
template the mad rush of the admin
istration and its supporters toward
the dangerous policy of Imperialism,
with its equally dangerous, costly and
un-Ameriean twin evil-militarism.

THE wORKINGMEN AND SCOTT

Between 900 and 700 workingmen of
this city have already signed petitions
praying the Republican. members of
the Legislature to oppose Mr.. n. B.
>Scott, of this city, for United States
Senator.
When Mr.. Scott sold out the old
Eentral Glass Works in this city to
trust he little thought that he was
would later return to roost.
Mr.. Scott is the candidate of Boss
Elkins, who will control the Republi-
cans in the Legislature to a greater or
less extent in the selection of a United
States Senator-providing they shall
be in position to elect the Senator
But it remains to be seen if the big
boss can hold them all in line for his
candidate in the face of the practically
solid opposition of the workingmen of
Mr.. SCOTS own city, where tley are
in the majority.
The Republican bosses are very ten
der and solicitous of, not to say obse-
quious to, labor before election, but
after e1nntion they are inclined to take
it as affront if labor demands a

)hio cod ~ delegation who, during the
late campaigy found so much difficult
ay in steering between popular opinion
and their pledges to Messrs. Scott and
Elkins.

mer is hard land sore beset with snares
and pitfalls,l while the candidate with
a guilty paft is never sure that the
day of apparent success will not turn
suddenly int % day of reckoning.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ON THE PHIL
IPPINES

The uncSmpromising opposition of
ex-senator Edmunds to the admins
Iration's policy of forcible annexation
of the Philippines is said to be par
ticularly embarrassing to the imperial
lists of the Republican party, since Mr..
Edmunds is easily the greatest con-
stitutional lawyer since Daniel Web
ster. and during his Senatorial career
was the Intellectual leader of his
party.
1t is interesting to know in this
connection that when the trouble with
Spain began Mr.. Mckinley at once
sent for Senator Edmunds to advise
him, recognizing the Vermont states
man as the ablest counsellor to be had,

 Anniversary exercises will be held at the Zion German Lutheran church, cor ner of Davenport avenue and Ward street, next Sunday The church has existed about fifteen years and first held services at the Bethel, corner of Orchard and Oak streets. Rev. Professor Henry Feth, now director of the Lutheran col lege at Neperan, N. Y.. was the first permanent pastor of the church. After several years pastorate Rev. Professor Feth was succeeded by Rev. William Koepchen now pastor of St. John S German Lutheran church in Meriden. After about years pastorate Rev. MT. Koepchen succeeded in buying for the society the present place of worship, the Bethel proving too small to accom- modate the rapidly increasing member ship. This was ten years ago. Two years afterward Rev. MT, Koepchen re- signed to accept his present pastorate and Rev. Edward H. Fisher of New York was called to the pastorate. Rev MT. Fisher accepted and he has been pastor of the church ever since
 The. anniversary exercises will be held in the morning at 10:30 o'clock, when Rev. MT. Fisher will preach an apniver- sary sermon and in the evening at 730 o'clock Rev. MT. Koepchen of Meriden will deliver an anniversary discourse. The choir will render special music at both services.
