KILLS BOTH BRIDES

Brooklyn, N. Y. March 13.-Mrs.
Mary p Carlton, wife of the chief COM
last Friday, from lockjaw. Last De-
cember she pricked her finger slightly
with needle. Among her household
pets was a white kitten and with the
slight needle prick upon her hand, Mrs.
Carlton is said to have fondled the cat.
A few days later Mrs. Carlton found
on her arm several brown spots. 1t
was thought Mrs. Carlton had been poi
soned by stroking the cat, thus infect
taken to the Long Island college hos
Pital, where her death in agony fol-

The death of Mrs. Carlton recalls the
death Of Carlton s first wife, which was
also due to lockjaw from wound in the
foot.

FAVORS HEAVY PENALTIES
Rev. Mcdonald Mckenzie Believes 1r
CAPITAL Punishment,

Rev. Donald Mckenzie presented "a
Study in Crime' at the Methodist min
isters' meeting this morning and
evoked a lively discussion. He named
among the factors of the rapid increase
of crime in twenty five years the great
force of corruption applied by monopo-
lies, yellow journalism and the efforts
Of criminal lawyers to clear the guilty.
AS remedies he proposed better train
ing at home and in school and the use of
textbooks on morals in the schools. He
would increase rather than tighten PEN
alties for crimes: He approved the bill
before the legislature making the
sentence for highway robbery forty
years and opposed absolutely capital
punishment. -:.', :t<.a
: Next week DR.. Fayette L. Thompson
will give paper on "The Relation of
the Press to the Church, and repre-
sentatives of all the daily papers will
be asked to be present and take part in
the discussion.

without decision, and the demand that
he take the initiative and abandon the

was that of many Of his principal gen.

the western attack by the Japanese, the
