Murderer Electrocuted.

rostoD, july 9.-Hslf crazed with
fear. vet anxious for the ordeal of death
to be over, John Schidlofski, wife muir
derer, the second man to be eiectrOcuted
in the Charlestown State prison within
month, died in the electric chair at
1924 this morning. Assisted to the
death chair by two persons, Schidloiski
recovered sufficient cOmpOsure at the
last moment to seat himself. but the
moment the straps were applied be
trembled from head to foot and without
parting word he mOaned continually
until single shock ended his life. Half
an hour before Rev. Robert Walker,
chaplain of the Middlesex county house
of correction, who has been Schidlofskis
spiritual adviser since his first incarce-
ration, notified the man that he was to
die within few minutes, and he unas-
sisted sat upon the edge of his cot and
dressed for the execution. Schidlofski
entered the death chamber at l2:l6:30.
de was supported on one side by prison
gusrd and on the other by Chaplain
Walker, who spoke words of consolation
TO the condemned man.
As the three reached the chair, the two
who we're helping Schidlofski paused for
a moment to allow the condemned man
to make a statement, if he so desired,
but he stepped forward and took his
seat without word of any kind. After
he reached the chair, Schidlofsk leaned
back and closed his eyes, without a muir
muir, but when the attendants stepped
up to adjust the head.gear and tighten
the straps that kept him in the chair, he
moaned sudibly and continually until
the deadly current had been applied.
The current of 1850 volts was applied
for sixty seconds During this time the
intensity OF the current was gradually
decreased and at the end Of the minute
it was turned on to its intensity and
kept at 1880 volts for five seconds and
then shut of. The attending physicians
then approached the chair and endea
vored to detec; signs OF life Their ex-
animation consumed four minutes and
at the end of that period they declared
the man dead. The electrocution was
said to be the most successful of any
that have taken place in this State.

The New York World of Sunday says:
zone of the most intimate friends and
associates on the stage and in private
life of Evelyn Nesbit Saturday gave to
Assistant District Attorney Garvan a
complete history OF the relations between
the Nesbit woman and Stanford White

Fhaw met Evelyn Nesbit before White

Thaw for White dated from the time he
first saw the two together.
This jealousy, the young woman de-

Evelyn Nesbit, who always retained her
fondness for Stanford White and who
delighted to bring his name up in Thaw's
presence. When Thaw, as he invariably
did, broke Out into curses against the
architect, Evelyn and friends. if they

The President and the Meat Packers.

The President and the Meat Packers.
Chicago, July 9.-Another clash Is
imminent between President Roosevt It
and the packers. This came to light to-
day when Secretary Wilson, of the
Department of Agriculture, having es-
tablished himself at the Auditorium with
the staff of experts whom be has brought
here to revise the meat inspection bu-
reau, gave out an interview in which he
expressed IN measured terms his "iisap-
rointment' at the grudging spirit 10
which, he said, the 'Chicsgo packers are
meeting the demand for reform. He
went further and questioned the sincerity
of their declaration that they wanted
government inspection. He said drily
that it looked to him as il they wanted
"auother fight" and that he let it be
known that the government was ready
to give them one rather than accept any
halfway measures in the amelioration of
conditions surrounding the meat inquiry.
Indirectly, the report of the Manufac-
turers' Association is responsible for the
situation. Ever since its publication
Saturday the secretary and his depart
U.ent heads have been making close
study of it, line by line. They found it
anything but "whitewash." They ex.
pected to discover evidence that these
plants we're being made to equal the abb
batoirs abroad. They fonnd petty econ
omy instead. cit seems to me that the
packers of Chicago have not yet learned
their lesson" said the secretary. "This
report of the experts retained by the
Illinois Manufacturers Association and
the Chicago Commercial Association
is eloquent in their egasions. 1t
.eems to us that the packers have had
ample time, if they were so disposed, to
LAUNCH much greater Improvements, for
instance, 10 the sanitary conditions OF
their plants. There will be no contro-
versy between the government and the
packers. That won't be necessary. ln
The event that they object to our close
inspection of their canned products, for
instance, there will he no label for the
coming. That is all there is to it,"
The secretary today is presiding over a
meeting Of the superintendent of federal
meat inspectors from the different cities
about the west.
