She holds within her native right
The wealth of Natures varied guise.
In sunlit day, and starlit night,
Where rugged miles OF forest rise.
Or where ner rivers meet the sea
And mist marsh rests silently.
The red CLINT Of her rolling hills
Fies with her shore lines silver sand
The dance and song of mountain rills
Rival the hymn of wave-w washed
strand.
The jasmine and the ropes bloom
For winter days are kin 10 June.
Entrenched within his statehood s
strength,
Content to live within her lines
And die in her dear arms at length.
Each loyal son in peace reclines;
Nor will he brook an alien hand
To touch the mainsprings of his land.
Graded uron her sunlit breast
The cid plantations lie asleep;
While sturdy oaks their vigil keep:
Like giant sentinels they stand
ia guard the homes of "Dixieland."
Under her blanket-moist with dew
And nartured by thousand tears
Sleep those whom, to their statehood
true
Fought bravely thro those awful years,
Then laid their banner nobly down
TO kiss the cross and win their
crown.
An, Sunny Georgia. you have yet
The greater victory to attain.
Those far-off, bitter years forget,
For God and Nature still remain,
And this dear state in which we stand
Shall know no peer in Dixieland.

FATE OF MRS. kERSH
IN HANDS OF JURY
WEBB MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES OF THIRD DEGREE"
METHODS PORT LAND POLICE.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 5-The
fate of Mrs. Carrie Kersh, eharg-
ed with completely in the murder
of William A. Johnson at the
Grand Central hotel June 20, was
placed in the hands of the jury
shortly before noon after Judge
Morrow had instructed them.
During the afternoon session
yesterday Webb created a furore
by declaring that third degree
methods were being used in the
city Jail of Portland to exact con-
fessions from prisoners. Webb
who Is under sentence of death
for numbering Johnson, was tes-
tifying in Mrs. Kersh's behalf.
Speaking in connection with
the alleged existence of the third
degree system, Webb said "There
Is a man down at the county Jail
now who had to have doctor
for three days after he came up
from the city jail. The third de-
gree is worked in Portland. 1

the end is near. l would not sit
here before you and tell things
that are untrue while l am in the
shadow of death"
Webb reiterated his previous
declaration that Mrs. Kersh did
not aid or abet him in Staying
Johnson nor did she know, he
said, that the crime had been
committed.

ELECTION JUDGE
GETS TERM

w. H. Robinson, one of the five
election officials of the second
precinct of the Third ward, ac-
cused of malfeasance in office,
concretely stuffing the ballot box
and committing Irregularities in
the primary election, was sentenc-
ed by Judge Chapman yesterday
to serve five months in the coun-
ty Jail and pay a fine of $3.50.
His attorneys have appealed the
case to the supreme court and
Robinson was released ON $4,000
bond.
The cases have been retarded
for some time through legal tee
nicalities, but the others will not
be tried until the supreme court
hands down a decision in the case
of Robinson.

Tacoma is bumped again.

Tacoma is bumped again.
For years the Western Union
company has been operating a fire
signal and burglar alarm service
and never a dollar has it paid in
franchise fees as required.
And John NJ. Bell, eX-cOuncil-
man, who is a competitor. is in
the same boat.
Ii all came out this morning
when Bell asked the council to
allow him to reconnect his lines
with the city fire signal service.
When he left the Postal Telegraph
company he cut his lines out and
had not yet cut them in again.
The permission was granted but
before it was done some queer
things were brought up.
Freeland started to reading the
franchise on which Bell operates.
He discovered that Bell was due
to pay the city per cent of his
gross receipts. He never did it.
Yes, that's right, but | am
willing to pay; my bill is small.
But the Western Union has been
going Is years years and never
has paid anything" said Bell.
Then the commission looked at
the Western Union franchise. 1t
provides that l per cent was to be
paid the first couple of years, then
the council could raise it. The

company never paid even the two
per cent.
Good Percentage.
1t is estimated the Western
Union has 900 boxes out. Each
pays at least 81 a month. That
makes $1,000. One per cent
would be $40 a month. For a
dozen years this will amount to
something.
But the city may make it five
or even more per cent. Then the
return will be more.
Commissioner Freeland was or
dered to look into all these mat
ters and get after everybody that
may owe the city anything.
1t also was charged in the
meeting that the Western Union
is practicing eXtortion. The fran
chise expressly provides that no
charge shall be made more than
81 a month for an alarm box. 1t
was stated by Bell that the COM
pany was charging as high as IS
and 81 for soc boxes in violation
of the ordinance.
The commission VIII look into
this business.
Also the commission will look
into the Western Union clocks.
The company has no franchise for
these yet 1t collects 81 a month
from a lot of them. The city will
a share of this also.

The women have made a dra-
latic fight for the right to vote,
and the effects of their victory,
if it comes Tuesday, will be far
reaching.
If women are given the right
to vote, they can enter at once
into political affairs of city, state
and nation. Probably their first
opportunity in the state to use
their prerogative will be in the
Seattle recall election to choose a
successor to Mayor Gill.

ABOUT THOSE BONDS

In view of the fact that county
commissioners have recommended
that bonds aggregating $400, 900
be issued at the coming election
it may be pertinent to tell of the
following facts:
Last winter the commissioners
requested the Tacoma Chamber
of Commerce as to their opinion
or idea regarding a call for bonds.
A communication from the
Chamber of Commerce suggested
that it would be we'll that an ex-
pert accountant be put upon the
county books and that a full re-
port be made to the people as to.
how things we're running and how
money had been expended in or.
der that the people know just
where they stood.
No response is on record to this
letter of the hamber Of Commerce

by the administration.
This will have an effect on
Tuesdays election, but will only
strengthen the cause with the peo-
pie who want an honest and de-
cent city administration.
Have Covered State.
No single district of the state
has been overlooked in the wom-
ems fight. Women speakers have
been sent to every country fair,
to the Walla Walla state fair, to
special meetings arranged by club
women in every city of any i'm
portance.
Literature by the ton has been
distributed. Hundreds of thou
sands of leaflets have been sent
out, and countless personal let
ters written.
Women had the right to vote
once in Washington, but were
tricked out of it when the new
state constitution was adopted.
Since then the women have never
given up hope that it would some
day be restored. Their dramatic
fight at the last session at the leg
islature, aided conspicuously by
Senators Piper and Cotterill Of
King county. Senator Paulhamus
of Pierce, and others, who have
since gone on the stump during
this suIfmer's and falls cam
paign, got the measure passed as
a charter amendment through
both houses.
That put the matter up to the
people of the state. for them to
endorse or turn down Tuesday. On
the ballot 1t is listed as:
"For the proposed amendment
to Art. VI. of the constitution, re-
lating to qualifications for vot-
ers"

DENIED AN
APPEAL
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Nov. 5.-The court
of appeals today dismissed the Pc
tition of DR., H. H. Crippen for a
ret-rial on a charge of having
murdered his wife, Belle Elmore
Crippen. The decision means
that Crippen will hang Novem-
Der 8.
Only the interference of the
home secretary can now prevent
Crippens execution. 1t is not
likely that the clemency of the
crown will be extended in this
case.
Crippen's step was firm but his
jauntiness of manner had vanish
ed. He walked steadily to his
seat and conferred with his attor-
neys. Barristor Tobin's plea was
that the trial jurors had not been
sufficiently isolated and that out
siders could confer with them.
His plea was overruled.
Crippen DOwncast.
Crippen's attorneys announced
that the next step would be an
appeal to the home secretary to
commute the death sentence to
one of life Imprisonment or to
grant Crippen pardon.
Crippen evidently had anticipat-
ed dismissal of the appeal but
when the verdict was announced,
despair was written in his face.
He stood erect but did not speak.
Later, after being led to jail un-
