Iand court attaches pleasantly. Ten
minutes later, Judge Chapman
took the bench.
Attorney Lefebvre made short
but eloquent appeal to the mercy
of the court, stating that he
would withdraw his motion for a
new trial.
while the defendant may again
be a free man, he will never again
be able to hold his head up as an
upright citizen. He has suffered
greatly, and we wish to ask, In
view of the extenuating circum-
stahces In the case, that the court
extend to this defendant all the
mercy possible"
Prosecuting Attorney McMurray
lalso spoke a few words, pointing
out the fact that a human life had
been taken and that punishment
was necessary.
Judge Chapman asked Weller
Iif he had any legal reasons to
give why sentence should not be
passed. Weller arose and said,
l"No, SIR" in a scarcely audible
voice.
{ To See Children for Last Time.
Weller will probably be taken
to the penitentiary at the end of
tnext week when the guard from
the prison make his round Of the
jails. Tomorrow his two little
children will make their last visit
to him and say goodby.

clubs today received reinforce
ments in the way of. commenda-
tlon for Mrs. Macready as pure
food inspector, in a petition sent
to Mayor Fawcett by the Tacoma
society and Woman's union
for her retention in the
place.
The issue seems to be lining
up clearly between the progressive
citizens who want the places keep
ing foodstufss cleaned up, and the
dealers who want to do as little as
possible. The dealers, in their pc
tition to the mayor asking for the
removal of Mrs. Macready, sug-
gested that they desired a man ap-
pointed who had had some expe-
riencc In the grocery or meat
That is, they want a
man as inspector who views things
through their own spectacles. and
who has been schooled to think
that 1t Is impossible to make a

years at hard labor at the peni-

Weller showed no emotion

For that very reason he would
not be satisfactory to the women

Macready is Just the one to take
the lead. 1t is the women who
have led all the way in the matter
thus far. They are not going back
now. They suggest, in advocating
Mrs. Macready, that the time has
come to advance. and apply its
more drastic provisions, and they
insist that woman with wom-
ans instinct of cleanliness, rather
than a man with his instinct of
pure commercial utility, is the one
to be Inspector.

of persuasion, and that she will

MANAGUA, May 6.-Refugees
struggling into San Jose today
declare that fully 500 persons
were killed in the earthquake
that wrecked Cartago. The first
heavy quake, they declare, Was
followed by minor .quakes and
the city today is in state of
chaos.
LEADING CITIZENS KILLED
The first shock wrecked the best
residence section of the city, and
many of the best known people in
Cartago were killed.
Soldiers are now patrolling the
city to prevent looting, with Or
ders to shoot looters on sight.
Survivors are helping the soldiers
in the work of rescuing the MAIN
ed and injured caught under the
falling buildings. Bodies are be-
ing hastily buried to prevent q
pestilence, and steps are being
taken to conserve the water anG
loOup supply.
FIRST SHOCK HEAVIEST
The initial shock was the
heaviest. 1t lasted for several
minutes and the earth's move
ment was apparently from north
to south.
The shock came Just at dusk
after sultry day.
The telegraph line is working
today between
Cartago and San Jose. Over this
wire the story of disaster is COM
ing slowly. the details of the ca
|tastrophe being interspersed with
appeals for aid.
SEARCHERS AT WORK
In the morning searching par
ties were organized, and began
the work of rescue. While only q
small number of the dead had
been taken from the ruins at the
time the last news was received,
1t is declared that fully 500 per-
sons lost their lives. The num-
ber of injured has not even been
estimated as yet.
