LIFE SENTENCE
FOR MURDERER

Milwaukee. wis, Dec. 11.--Car1 Woj
ciechowsli and Adam Pietrzl1y, alleged
murderers Of 14-year-old Hattie linda,
were taken into court unexpectedly
this evening and pleaded guilty. They
were first taken to district court, where
they waived hearing and were bound
over to the municipal court. Trial
there began at once. The two men
pleaded guilty and were about to be
sentenced for life when Peitrzyk, who
made the confession Wednesday of the
murder by Woijciechowsld while he
himself stood guard outside, asked for
an attorney to secure clemency. This
resulted in delaying of sentences. Reg
ular hearing was begun at once.
After hearing lasting about three
hours, both men were sentenced to life
Imprisonment and arrangements made
to send them to the state prison so
that they would leave Milwaukee be-
fore daylight.
The hearing was behind closed doors,
heavy guards of police being present to
prevent any disorder.

DAY OF RESPITE
FOR MRS. BROKAW
MOVE FOR RECONCILIATION ON
PART or HUSBAND FAILS
BITTER CONTEST WILL
CONTINUE.

New York, Dec. 11.-Today was one
respite for Mrs. Mary Blair Brokaw
from the ordeal to which she mas been
subjected during the, past days Of trial
of her suit for separation and ALI
mony against her millionaire husband
w. Gould Brokaw.
The trail so far has been replete
with sensations, counsel for Mrs.
Brokaw bringing out through a pro-
tracted questioning of his client and
the introduction Of numerous telegra-
phic messages, testimony to support
her charges that she had been spled
upon, Ill treated and her life made
miserable through ner husbands jeaI-
ousy and Ill temper.
That the evidence to come will not
be less sensational was indicated by
an intimation today from Brokaw'a
counsel that when the trial Is resumed
Monday Mrs. Brokaw will be cues
toned on cross examination in an ef-
fort to obtain from her admissions
that her husband was not entirely UNI
justified in his jealousy. A tentative
attempt. on Mr.. Brokaw's part. at
reconciliation failed yesterday. and
Indications today were That the trial
would continue on its bitterly contest
ed way.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE annual
report Of Fred bennett, commissioners
q. the general landoffice, l. not calcu-
lated to cause much enthusiasm
among the registers and receivers Of
iandoffces throughout the country.
The reason for this is plain. Com
missioner bennett would consolidate
the offices and thereby cut In half the
expense of maintaining two officers Il,
every land district In the country!
Fortunately for the men In the ser.
vice there is little chance for con-
gress to carry out the North Dakotans
recommendations at this time. In
deed there is no disposition upon the
part of the senate to deprive itself Of
this important BIT of patronage. There
is already too much civil service and
the like for these gentlemen.
The very latest thing is to put the
diplomatic service In li-civiI ser
vice status. This already has been
done with the consular service. Abo11t
500 offices are involved in this little
item alone.
Mr.. benefits report is regarded az
a model for concise statement and
treatment Of the public land question.
He concluded with long list az

Bluefields, Nicaragua. Dec. IL
This city, the headquarters Of the pro-
visional government has been thrown
into alarm by a sudden realization OF
the strength of the government army
against which General Estrada. the
leader of the insurgents had been sup
posed to be making Irresistible head
way.
| Estrada apparently has been hood
winked by zelaya and no one would
be surprised IL the latter's troops
should appear before the city at any
nour Estrada is hoping for timely
aid from United States
1t turns out that the conference
which was sought by General Vas
quez, of the government troops near
Rama, which the insurgents had in
terpreted as a sign OF yielding on the
part of Zelaya's troops, was blind
intended to secure the delay OF an
expected battle until the loyal army
had obtained a decided advantage OF
position.
1t is also learned that while zelaya
had kept a scattered force before
Rama, his real army of 5000 men was
hurrying by forced marches towards
Bluefields.
The report that a descent upon this
city from Rama was possible only by
river is known to be untrue.
General Estrada endeavored to
cover his alarm by informing the cor
respondents at the front that all was
tranquil with the prospect that Cen
eral vasquez and Major Eva would
surrender. Ten minutes after he had
talked with the reporters, the insur-
gent leader had his chief diplomatic
aide. Adolfo Diaz on the telephone
and was telling him what was believed
to be the true situation
General Estrada declared that the
Americans should send more marines
ashore as vasquez had apparently
outflanked him. Estrada also express
ed the opinion that requests should be
made OF the United States govern
ment for protection to $50 Americans
In Bluefields.
Diaz rushed to United States Con-
sui Moffat, with the new intelligence.
and the consul assured him that

able to control the situation here In
the event that the royal army should
suddenly surprise the city.
