WOMAN IS HANGED.
Maintained Her Sioclal Indifference
70 the end,

Windsor, VT. Dec. 11.-Without
tremor and without a word, Mrs.
Mary Mabel Rogers marched to her
death on the gallows at the state
prison here and paid the penalty for
numbering her husband, Marcus Rog-
ers, at Bennington, on August -,
1902. To all appearances Mrs Rog
ers was the calmest person in the
chamber of death She faced her end
with the same stoical Indifference
that had marked her demeanor ever
since her arrest, more than three
years ago.
Greatly to the relief of those Off
Gals who were assisting in executing
the sentence, Mary Rogers last hour
was remarkably free from narrowing
incidents 1t had been feared that the
woman's wonderful nerve would de-
sert her at the final moment. and that
she would be carried to the scaffold
in a state of collapse. Instead, Mrs
Rogers met death bravely.

MANY OTHER BILLS IN HOUSE.
The Ending of the First Week of the
5sth Congress Shows Many Bills
Before That Body Besides Regular
Routine Work

Washington. Dec u. The first
important measure which will re-
ceive the attention of the senate will
be the Panama canal emergency APP
preparation bill and its consideration
will begin this week. Some senators
predict that it will become a law be
fore the close of the week, but 9TH
ers have expressed the opinion that
final action will be deferred until the
week following. There will be no eff
fort to prevent the passage of the bill
in some shape, but there will be some
opposition to the proposed restoration
Of the $5,50O,000 subtracted by the
house from the amount to be appro-
priated. Regardless of the sum, the
bill will be utilized as a basis for the
general discussion of the canal ques-
ton. 1t is expected the debate will
deal largely with the question as to
whether the canal shall be construct
ed on the sea level There is some
conflict of opinion as to whether the
bill shall be referred to the commit
tee on appropriations or to the com
mittee on interoceanic canals.
The general expectation is there
will be comparatively little addition
al legislation before the Christmas
holidays. Several other measures will
be vigorously pressed during the SEES
sion, but with the exception of the
merchant marine bill. the sponsors
of the bills do not count upon getting
early answers. Senator Gallinger will
call up the merchant marine bill at
the first opportunity and is hopeful
that action will not be long delayed.
No one counts upon even getting a
report from committee on the railroad
rate bill until some time after the
holidays. The three measures men
toned are considered the most i'm
| portant that will come before the sen
ate this session and they will receive
much attention until they are finally
disposed Of
The consideration By the senate of
the joint statehood bill and the bill
| for the reduction of the duty on
Philippines importations into the Uni
| ted States will necessarily be post
poned until after the holidays. No one
now expects any effort to modify the
| tariff unless in the direction of Sena-
| tor Lodges bill providing for a maxi
mum and minimum rate. The Massa-
| chusetts Senator regards this propo-
sition with much favor and will press
it strenuously if he receives any en-
couragement to do So
Much of the time during the pres
ent week will be devoted to the re
organization of the committees and
there is hope the announcement OF
changes can be made before Thurs
day. Senator Mitchell's death will be
announced by Senator Fulton soon
| but it is not probable the announce
'ment will cause an adjournment Of
the senate.
