ENGLAND MAY GIVE POISON INSTEAD OF HANGING ITS
 CONDEMNED IN FUTURE

London, Dec. 29-A bill will be in- troduced at the next session of Par lament for the abolition of the gal lows and the strictly private dispatch of condemned men in their cells and under the influence of an anaesthetic. The measure has already been draft ed and its passage is being agitated by a group under the leadership of A. c. Benson, the author, and son of the late Bishop of Canterbury.
 "I cannot help thinking" Benson ex- plains, ''that a condemned man should be able to choose both the time. with in fixed limits, and the manner of his death. and that the resources of med ical science should be employed to make that death as swift, as quiet and as painless as possible.
 eff a prisoner in the solitude of his cell might be allowed to swallow a potion, or be done to death by an anaesthetic, death would at least have some touch of privacy and decorum about it. But the awful ceremony and disgusting apparatus of violent death seems to me utterly barbarous and medieval. A man at such a crisis of his fate Is not a thing to exult and gloat over, whatever his crime may have been, and believe that the solemn barbarity of the whole pro- ceeding has an entirely degrading and dnha sing effect llnon the n,I'slic mind"

DOSE OF HENBANE MADE
 THEM TEMPORARY MANIACS

Munich. Dec. 29-A local medical journal prints the following description by Dr. Philippi, a German physician of Geneva. of the curious effects of henbane poisoning at boarding house at Dawes.
 He states that some 25 persons in- cluding visitors of various nationalities radish at dinner. A quantity of the hembane root waS accid dentally mixed with the horse radish. and two hours later all the persons who had eaten horse radish were suffering from cur ious cerebral troubles.
 A Russian woman who always spoke German. forgot that language com pletely: o8hers could not stop laughing. An Englishwoman insisted on giving body: another woman, on her hands and knees. searched the floor for an article of jewelry which she thought she had lost; still another thought herself statue and would not move.
 When the physician was called in haste one of the women guests greet ed him as am old friend. and would crossed in the counting of imaginary bank nobes which he snatched from the air. Another man set out to find a chemist. but lost his memory on the way and bought many useless articles in a shop.
 One of the servants carried twenty hot water bortles. intended for the guests. to her own room: while the pro prtetor Of the boarding establishment took a tureen full of soup to his bed- room and emptied it over the pillows.
 Antidotes were speedily administered to the sufferers. and after a few hours they regained normal consciousness.

FATAL BLAZE IN
 THE MARSH HOME IS
 SHROUDED IN MYSTERY

How the fire broke out yesterday in the home of James Marsh, 7S0 Og- den street and caused the death of Mary Bell, the IS months old baby, is mystery. Mrs. Marsh left the house shortly after dinner yesterday to carry home baby that had been boarding at her home. She left four children in the house, Mary Bell, the baby, Edward aged 4, Anna aged 6, and Edna. aged 2.
 When the annex of the Marsh house containing the kitchen was discover ed in flames by the neighbors they hurried over and got out the three eldest children. Having seen Mrs. Marsh go out with a baby in her arms the neighbors believed she had the youngest child with her and no one braved the smoke or flames to see if there was another child in the kitch- en.
 The eldest child said after the fire that none of the children was near the stove when they first saw the fire. She says that the fire came from beneath the stove.
 James B. Marsh, employed at the plant of the U. M. Co., the father of the family and his wife were almost distracted with grief upon reaching home and hearing of the burning of their child. The remains of the little victim were buried this afternoon.

TRY TO SAVE NAVAL STATION New London Making Big Fight to Defeat Plan to Abandon
 Base There

Washington, Dec. 29-All the Con- necticut members of the Senate and the House have received resolutions adopted by the New London Business Mems association, urging them to use their strongest efforts to prevent the abandonment of the government prop erty on the Thames river. now used for coal station, and school of in- struction for the marine corps.
 Quite fight is expected in the house committees on naval affairs when the naval appropriation bill is taken up, and the recommendations of Secretary Meyer to abolish several navy yards are given consideration. It is generally believed that the com mittee will retain most If not all the yards now in existence.
 The New London yard is, however, somewhat differently situated from some of the others. The appropriation for New London is in the general sum allowed for the marine corps and coaling stations, and if the navy de- partment saw fit to refuse to send any marines to New London the sta- tion might be abandoned in that way. The Connecticut members will, how ever, unite in opposing any action looking towards the abandonment of the station.

Protest Action of Art Committee In
 Julia Howe Case
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Boston, Dec. 29-Several days ear today, was looked for from the Bos- ton Art Committee. in defense of it's action in deciding against placing a portrait of Julia Ward Howe in Fam euil Hall. The protest that has been raised against the commissions deci- sion was undoubtedly unexpected but nevertheless strenuous.
 Some of the personal comments on the commissions action were:
 Mrs. Henry W. Savage: "Who owns Faneuil Hall, the people or few art critics?'
 Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott: 'Mrs. Howe was my mother and 1t would not be dignified for me to comment in any way"
 Rev. Mrs Florence K. Cracker: we will take the matter to the Legisla- ture."
 Mayor Fitzgerald: "we shall have a public hearing to determine the req sons for that body's opposition. I see no reason why the portrait of Julia Ward Howe should not be hung with those of the men patriots there, even if hers would be the first woman's portrait. She was National patriot. loved and respected throughout the land."
 Back of these are, the protests of thousands of persons here. Thomas Allen. chairman of the art commission stated. today, that the body will meet today or tomorrow, after which it will be prepared to make known it's report. The setting of bust of Mrs. Howe in the library or some other appropriate place was suggested by the commission as an alternative. The commission members have intimated that they hesitated to put a woman's picture where none ever had been hung, but even precedent respecting New England takes unkindly to the idea.
