laid upon them. There is a strong ten
dency among them TO associated &C
tion in many directions. With so many
facilities for combined action there is.
in my Judgment. a loud call to them to
do something to shield their sex from
some grave mistakes. Certain customs
that are rapidly gaining ground among
women in what are called the higher
social circles demand a vigorous ef-
fort on the part of intelligent and
high minded women to secure the
elimination Of the element OF gambling
from amusements and games innocent

Cady. Of Hudson, called upon Governor
Odell yesterday at the latter's request to
confer with him regarding the applica-
tion for Communication of the death sen
tence Of Frederick. Burton. and Willis
Van Wormer, the three Kinderhook
brothers, sentenced to death In the week
beginning July for the shooting OF
their aged uncle. Peter a. Hallenbeck.
at Greenport. Columbia county. on
Christmas Eve. 1901. Justice Chester
was the judge who originally sentenced
the brothers to death upon the jury's
verdict of guilty. MIR. CGdy, who was
counsel for the Van Wormers, argued
that the successive electrocution of the
three. the youngest only twenty years of
age, might encourage sentiment in
favor of abolition OF capital punishment.
Even in time of war a President would
hardly sanction the execution of three
brothers. Governor Odell gave no inti-
nation Of his probable action, but prom
ised careful study of the case.
