Some Very Plain Lam
guage.

Fairview, KY, June S.--Capt. w.
J. Stone spoke here this afternoon
in the interest of his race for Gov
ernor. A fair crowd was on hand
and the Captain had on his fight
ing clothes. The fight in Todd

Hardin and Stone forces. The Har-
din men have flooded the county
with literature attacking Capt.
Stone, and his friends made this ap-
pointnent and one at Daysvllle to-
night for him to answer the charges.
He discussed the attacks on his
record in a very pointed style and
paid his respects to Gen. Hardin in
very plain language. His speech
had a decided impression here and
his already large following was
considerably increased.
Capt. Stone is very much satisfied
with his prospects for the nominal
ton.
He left for Daysville at the con-
clusion of his speech.

Lexington, KY, June Chair

They Show Tlmidity In Handling
the Crowds In Havana.
Havana, March II. - General Fitz-
Hugh Lee has returned here from Glen
fuegos.
Chief Of Police Monocal, owing to the
recent censures Of the force. carries his
resignation in his pocket. He has ten
dered it two or three times, but, on re-
consideration. has withdrawn 1t.
The police force has unfortunately
created a bad impression. During the
last few days the policemen have shown
timidity in handling the people. They
appear to be undetermined and unde-
cided what to do or how to do 1t. Peo-
pie have no respect for them and pay
little attention to their orders, which
are not enforced.
Besides this, the force has no past
traditions. esprit de corps or experience.
Since M~cCullagh's departure the only
American police official here is Detect
i've Crowley, and he is concerned with
the detective bureau alone.
There have been several amusing in
showing lack of respect for the
force. and several Of the policemen rave
asked for a detail Of American soldiers
to help them arrest lawbreakers, saying
our soldiers are the only men the law
breakers will obey.
1t will take some time for the police
regain the prestige they have lost.

Warden Sage Begins Making Ready
at Sing Sing For First Electro
cution In New York state
Of a Woman.

Sing Sing, March II. Mrs. Marths
NJ. Place, who will be the first woman
to suffer capital punishment in this
state since execution by electricity was
introduced, received in her cell at Sing
Sing prison the news that Governor
Roosevelt had declined to interfere In
her behalf either by pardon or by com
mutation Of sentence.
Mrs. Place was convicted In July last
OF the murder of her s~tepdaughter In
Brooklyn on Feb. 7 Of last year.. at
which time she attempted to kill her
husband also. The court Of appeals
unanimously affirmed the judgment Of
; the lower court.
The only hope for the woman's life
rested on an application for executive
clemency. based on the ground OF al
legged insanity, although 1t was possible
that she might tax an appeal to the
United States supreme court, which
might give her a short stay. The result
Of her examination by insanity experts
showed that she was sane.
After days OF suspense the condemned
woman shook with apprehension when
Warden Sage entered her cell. His
words to her were:
! io-C, J ain ooIIy W say ludt 1
have come to you again with bad news.
The physicians who were designated
for the examination into your mental

to keep her from breaking down when
Warden Sage made the announcement.
She trembled. but did not cry out.
