DEMANDS INQUIRY INTO
SEN. STEPHENSON'S ELECTION
Wisconsin Senate Adopts Resolution
Which Declares He Was
illegally Elected.

MADISON, Wis, June S.-The ques-
ton Of an investigation into the
charges that United States Senator
Isaac Stephenson secured his toga by
bribery and corruption will probably
be brought up for consideratin in the
United States senate within week.
Members of the state senate declar-
ed today their belief that the house
would speedily concur in the Blaine
resolution, passed late yesterday by
the senate, declaring Stephenson IL
legally elected and asking senator
ial probe.
The Blaine resolution was a substi-
.tute for one introduced early In the
session by State Senator Husting.
who. as a member of the special In
vcstsating committee looked into the
statement that Stephenson spent
$li0, 900 TO secure his election in the
primary and election OF 1908 and the
legislative vote of 1909. In a speech
late yesterday Husting declared the
proofs OF bribery and corruption were
conclusive. The bill passed the sen.
ate by l6 TO 8, twelve senators absent
ing themselves. two votes being
paired" and several refusing to vote.

WIDESPREAD PLEA
MAY SAVE WOMAN
Women Of United States and Canada
Ask That Mrs. Napolitano Be
Saved From Gallows.
BY HONOR o. TANNING.

SAULT STE MARIE. Ont, June s.
The women OF the United States
and the women OF Canada are work
ing together TO save the life OF An
gelino Napolitano. the young Italian
woman now under sentence OF death
here.
The story OF the Napolitano muir
der committed Easter Sunday and the
circumstances which led TO the trag-
edy were told yesterday In The Times.
The condemned woman Is a native
OF Italy; she's a resident OF Canada,
but her pitiable plight appeals TO wo-
men OF all countries. Womanhood
and motherhood make a universal APP
peal. This woman In her sorrow Is
kin to all women.
To most women Ii seems sin
against humanity that this young
mother, who has four small children,
and who Ii soon TO bring NTH into
the world, should now stand In the
shadow OF the gallows. To most peo-
pie IL seems an act or barbarism to
hand a woman, and a mother. no mat
ter how grave may be her 'offense
against the law.
So a concerted effort Is now being
made by women's organizations. by
club women, and church societies, and
especially the. women's Christian
Temperance union TO save the life OF
Angelina Napolitano so that the child
10 be born within the next few weeks
may not be robbed OF Its birthright OF
mother love.
The woman herself is not permitted
to know anything about the move
ment started in her behalf. In her
cell in the picturesque old gray stone
Jail she waits, and perhaps, she hopes,
No one Is allowed to speak 10 her
about her sentence. She makes no
complaint. Matron Hearst says she
is very patient prisoner. only at
night she means and talks often OF
her little children, the two little boys
and the two little girls who are now
in charge OF the local Childrens AID
society.
Angelina Napolitano realizes that
In killing her husband she committed
terrible crime. Yet she knows so lit
tile of the laws Of this country and OF
the English language that she cannot
quite understand what Is going to hap
pen. She knows she Is TO die, she
knows she will not be allowed to care
for the baby that is soon to be born
10 her; she knows she will never see
her other four children-h the laws
sentence Is executed
Quietly she waits In her cell. II
may be that she waits for death-out
| IL the women OF the United States and
Canada succeed In their mission OF
mercy the birth Of the prison BABY
will mean life for two peOple-tne
baby and its mother.

MILLIONS OF FOLKS
USE ONLY 'GASCARETS'
They never have Headache, Bilious
ness, Sluggish. Inactive Bowels
or Bad Stomach to make
them miserable.

A million boxes a month. That's
the sale of Cascarets And every tab
let In every box means day of good
cheer. Think what a world OF hap
piness this candy laxative has brought
to men and women--also the chill.
dren. Are you getting your share?
Cascarets cure bowel troubles when
they have developed. But that is the
least OF their uses. Their best serv-
ice is TO prevent the many ills that
come from inactive bowels. Think OF
the days when you are not at your
best. The mornings when you don't
feel right. the afternoons when you
are loggy, the evenings when you are
irritable. The cause lies in the
bowels.
One Cascaret makes everything
different. Don't say IN take IL to-
night" Take IL at once. Garry a box
in your pocket. The hours before
bedtime are too coed to be wasted.
Cascarets are gentle and pleasant.
Their action Is as natural as the
action of fruit on the bowels. They
are sold by all druggists at 10 cents
per box.

DhDng Pressure Is Brought To Bear

Into Fight.
BY OLSON GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, June S.-tThe for
nal announcement OF LaFollette "a
he progressive candidate for presi-
Dent may be expected almost any day.
A vigorous and aggressive cam
Daign for progressive delegates will
4 b made from the date or the an
|nouncement until the Republican con-
vention meets In June. 1912.
The strongest kind OF pressure has
been brought to bear on LaFollette
urging him to get into the fight at
onca DELEGATIONS from Illinois, Cali
fornia. Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
Pennsylvania and New Hampshire
have come here TO urge that there be
no more delay.
LaFollette has been engrossed with
the many tasks which have been
thrust upon him by this extra session
and has not been willing to be divert
ID from these labors. He has turned
the matter OF his candidacy over to
the progressives In congress and all
plans are In the hands OF Cummins,
Bourne. Bristow. Borah and the other
members OF the progressive group.
The surprising thing is that sup
Z port seems probable from profession
f ii politicians. These men, whose only
trade Is politics, do not relish the
Idea OF inviting sure defeat for the
party and q consequent separation
from the payroll for themselves by a
denomination OF Taft Most surpris-
ing Of all is that some OF this folk
comes from the southern states,
where jobs, pure and simple, are The
only consideration.
IaFollette does not count on any
great help from these standpat re-
cruits He Is willing to win or lose
With the support OF genuine progress

the word and are devoted TO progress

TRAIN RUNS DOWN PARTY OF
BEET WEEDERS; KILLS THREE
Two Others Are Dangerously Injured
While Walking on Track
In Fog.

DURAND, Mich, June ga Grand
Trunk train ran down a party OF No.
hemian beet weeders, who were walk
ing along the track early this morning
In a dense fog. Simon Bahula, 80;
Frank Bahula, his son, aged s, and
Mihulik Yohan. 35. were killed. and
the wives OF the two men were dang
erously hurt
The fast passenger trains are due
here in the early morning on the
Grand Trunk. They come from each
direction. east and west. The tracks
are double.
The little party of Bohemians. new
corners in this country, clad In the
rough clothing which they wore when
they landed In New York only four
weeks ago, were seen to set out from
the neighborhood Of town about sun
rise, bound for one Of the numerous
sugar beet fields west OF here. In a
little over an hour they were brought
back by the train which had run then,
down. and the only mourner to re
ceive them was a brother of the
women, the only one OF the family
colony who did not set out on the
fatal walk.
1t is evident that the party OF Ave
as they trudged along heard one train
approaching and stepped over on the
parallel tracks. The timidity of the
women seems TO have been their sal
walton. When the fast passenger
train on the second track came boom
ing down on them they were far
enough over toward the ditch TO es-
cape the direct onslaught OF the loco
motive. They were thrown across the
right of way. while the two men and
the boy were run down.
The train came to stop, and the
crew assisted by the people from tho
farms nearby, gathered up the dead

20 years, drowned in a pool OF water
a foot deep on the John A. Kenyon
