TWO SHAKERS ARRAICNED ON : MURDER CHARGE. Admit Relieving Hacking Agony of Dying Sister With
 ChlOrofOrm Entire Shaker Colony Standing Behind Accused Who Be- lieve They Did Exactly
 Right
Especial from United Press,

Kissimnee, Fla, Sept. 13-Wfth calm resignation, two meek, gentle Shakers today faced a charge of murder, for agony of a dying sister with chloro- form'
 Sister Elizabeth Sears and Brother Egbert B. Gillette had no apologies to make for their deed. Calmly, they told the authorities that when the wrenching pain of death by consump- tion attacked he disease -ravaged frame of Sister Sadie t. Marchant, they were unable to withhold the drug that gave her peace When the dying woman begged to be taken out of misery the defense says, her loving, sympathetic friends administered the cl1loroform, stiIaed the convulsive wrestling with pain and allowed the Spirit to pass from the body" quietly, painlessly.
 Before God and men, I believe that we did exactly right" declared Broth CT Gillette, today, and the soft-voiced Shaker woman beside him, without a tremor of agitation, echoed the belief.
 Never before have the members of the little Shaker community at Ash ton appeared in court. Regarded as the personification of quiet, peaceful righteousness, they have the universal respect of their neighbors. Judge G.. F. Parker recognized their standing when the couple after confessing their part in the death of their friend, were next arraign0. He took the unprece- dented action of admitting them to bail. Brother Gillette in $5,OO0 and Sister Elizabeth in $2,000. Public sen- tinent is, strongly in favor of the Shakers.
 Tt,a ay,tiro csJa lxe, <rvlo,,xy c+,rd;,, cr firm behind their accused brethren, raised the necessary amounts and the couple were led forth from Kissimmee jail. A group Of quiet placid, drab clad Shakers greeted them with affec- ton as they left the prison.
 Surrounded by his faithful brethren, Brother Gillette defended his ac- tion with quiet certainty.
 Sister Sadie had always longed to die in peace, without pain,'' he said. "On August 20, the climax came One of her lungs had issen totally destroy ed by consumption. Hemorrhage be- gan and that night she was in awful agony. We knew she couldn't live She begged us to relieve her. I am at peace with God for what I did.
 we worked over her all day Mon day and until noon, Tuesday. She grew steadily worse and at noon went to St. Cloud and got two ounces of chloroform. I gave it to her on cloth and she slept peacefully I went back to St. Cloud for more choloro- form and when the effect ofathe first dose wore away, gave her more She passed quietly. peacefully just at dusk
 My conscience is clear Every time T gave her chloroform | asked her if she did not want to wait and try to fight but she begged me to give her the drug. She wanted us to do as we did.''

DEMOCRATS LIKE
 PROSPECTING
 BILL VERY MUCH
Fate of Tilson Conjectural Be- lieved That Hill Cannot
 "COme Back"
Special from United Press.)

Hartford, Sept. 13-Democrats are well pleased today with the redistrict- ing bill passed by the Senate in con- curuence, yesterday A comparison of the figures at the last election showed that in none of the new dis tricts have the Republicans what may be considered a sure thing. In none of the new districts did the Republi- can pluralities at the last Congress sional election go as high as 1000, While in the third district, now the New Haven district, the Democrats had a substantial lead.
 The principal interest in the redis- trioting question today centered around the fate of Congressman att large John Q. Tilson, of New Haven. If Tison is nominated by the Re- pubicans in the new Third district he must overcome substantial plu- alty won by the Democrats at the last election. Tn the cities and towns comprising the district, Reilly, Demo- crat, polled 16.92S to 14,139 for Shepard, Republican. In the same cities and Thus, Reilly beat Shepard by about 2800 votes and beat TTlson by about 1.6O0.
 The fate of Representative E. J. Hill, of the Fourth d strict, was large ly discussed today Politicians say Hin will have a hard fight bringing home the bacon if he makes the race again.
 Representatfv Henry and Higgins will both have hard sledding under the new plan. Particularly Higgins faces danger of defeat. There will be less than 600 votes difference between the two leading parties in the last election in the new district and the result is still being contested by Jo- dOin, Democrat.

Gov. Hay Talks On Workmen'S
 Compensation
Explains Insurance System in Vogue in State of Washington to Benefit of Employer and Empl0ye
Especial from United Press.)

Spring Lake, N. J.. Sept 13.-De- nunciation of those fungoid, social parasites-the indemnity, casualty or liability ompanies-enlivened Cover nor Hays address before the House in which the state of Washington solved the workmen's compensation problem. Asserting that no private enterprise or institution can cope with the problem, Hay pointed out the abuses which induced Washington to take upon itself the work of making amicable adjustment between employ CT and workman when the latter is killed or incapacitated while laboring.
 Through the absurdly refined and elaborated doctrines of fellow ser vant,' 'contributory negligence and assumption of risk but $10O,0O0 out of $6OO,000 collected from Washing the injured workman or his family" said Hay. Consequently, the state was willing to go any length by way of radical legislation to correct the enormous abuses of the old system. I was reasonably certain that the still further encumbering the statutes with technical legislation, but in es- system of state. insurance whereby certain percentage should be levied on the employers payroll and set apart as fund to care for the victims of industrial accidents.
 Accordingly, dhe legislature has enacted a law, the object of which is to provide full and certain protection to employer and employe at the flat cost of compensation to the injured workman. Working on the belief that insofar as the state depends on many industries and more upon the welfare of its wage-earners. the com that administers this law is doing its utmost to protect both sides. And, for the most part. manu- lecturers are aiding in every way. finding the system far more satisfac tory than the old, uncertain methods of adjustment"
 Governor Hay then explained in detail the provisions of the act that makes independent schedules for nearly 50 classes of industry and the success that has attended the admin istration of the law

MELLEN AND BOARD DISAGREE.
New Hayen's Head May Withdraw if
 Dividend is Cut.

New Haven. Sept. 13.-In financial circles the belief is general that the raidroad directors have President Mellen's resignation, and that they are at liberty to lay it on the table or accept it as they deiire. It is also believed that the directors, much against the wishes of President Mel len, have determined to reduce the dividend rate from to $ per cent, and that President Mellen's willing ness to retire dates from their decision to reduce the dividend rate.
 The absence of General Manager Samuel Higgins because of ill-health has led President Mellen to combine that office with the office of assist ant to the President, which has been held by H. J. Horn. MT. Horn has assumed the duties of both positions. It is not believed that MT. Higgins will return to the railroad. This measure of economy will save the railroad about $15,000 year.

 Ward, in a biplane, ascended at Governors Island, N. Y., in an effort to fly from the Atlantic to the Pacific following the tracks of the Erie Rail- road to Middletown, N. Y.. but after leaving Jersey City lost his course and soon found himself sailing over Newark, far from the Erie. He winged his way south until he saw railroad tracks four miles north of Elizabeth, They were due west and ing they might be the Erie tracks. Mile after mile his engine whirred. Then he spied the Black Diamond Ex- press scuttling over the rails below him. AS the flying train disappear ed around curve, he concluded he was hopelessly lost He sailed on and on until he spied what later proved the best landing place he had ever used-the Misses Robinson's wheat field. Down went the planes and moment later the aviator was climb ing out of his machine.
 He strode toward where the great ly astonished spinster stood in rigid contempla tion of the whirred visitor. The population of Ashbrook never seemed so big as it did a minute after Ward landed. Rustics and summer visitors poured into the field apparently from nowhere.
 Hospitality was not overlooked and while townspeople hurried from all directions, Ward enjoyed lunch in the Misses Robinson's parior-the room that is only opened for funerals, we'd dings-and wayfaring skymen.
 Meantime, all Ashbrook could not produce one map suitable for the purpose of the aviator and a special was dispatched to Picton, four miles away, where it was re- ported the village schoolmaster had an Atlas that might be available.
