TO SAVE A WOMAN.
Five Persons Have offered to Go to
the GalIows in Her Stead.

Sault ste. Marie, Ontario, July s.
Widespread interest has been aroused
in Canada and the United States over
the case of Mrs. Angelina Napolitano.
who is under sentence to be hanged
here August u, two weeks after tine
expected birth of her child. The wo-
man, already the mother of four chill :
dren, killed her husband, who tried to
force her to receive the attentions of
other men.
No fewer than five persons have Of
fered to die in her place, and from
every section of Canada and the United
States petitions have been sent to Earl
Grey, governor general of Canada, and
to Sir Allen Aylesworth, minister Of
justice Some of these petitions ask for
an absolute pardon; others merely u
Communication of the death sentence. 1t
is estimated that the petitions carry
more than one-haIf million signatures.
Public attention in the United States
first was called to Mr. Napolitanos
case when DR.. Alexander Aaltc of Ash
tabula. O., offered to take her place on
the gallows. In a letter he said:
TT would only be fair to Mrs Ma
politano for 4 man to give his life for
her. inasmuch as her life is in peril on
account of a mans persecution of her
and because men condemned her 1
know my old mother would consider
that was hOnoring her motherhood in
dying for Mrs. Napolitano."
A few days later a similar offer came
from a man in Les Angeles, and since
then three other offers have come, two
from Canada, and one from the United
States. A week after DR.. Aalto's offer
became known petitions began to come
in from the United States and Canada
and already they rumber fully one
thousand. There is much sympathy
for the woman here. and it is believed
when the facts in the case are laid be-
fore the higher authorities her life will
be spared.

DOCK WILSON AGAIN.
New Jersey Governors Check Is
Short $50.

Trenton, n. J., July s.-Governor
Wilson has been "docked' again.
When he received his salary check
yesterday for June as executive of the
state he found that it was short about
$50. He sent for John Riker, clerk
in the treasurer's office to ask If he
had not made q mistake. Riker re-
minded his excelIency that he had
been absent three days in June, when
he had been finishing his western
trip.
The state constitution provides that
during the absence of the governor
from the state the president of the
senate shall be the acting governor
and shall receive the governors sal
airy while so acting. The pay for the
three days had been sent to Senator
Alderman. who occupied the COVER
nor's chair for the three days.
This is the second time Governor
Wilson has been locked since he was
elected The first time was when he
was away during the greater part of
May on his western trip.
He then received $50. instead of
$3.50, his regular months salary.

! ears. It is believed that one-fourth
of the corn in this county and a less
amount in the counties to the west
is in this condition The corn that is
not tasseled seems to be affected by
the heat and drought to such an ex-
tent that its future growth will be
much injured, although all corn is
hurt to some extent. Fields of corn
look as green as at any time, especial
ly where intensified farming has been
the rule. Farmers this year have
given their corn more attention than
in any past season. Scattering show
ers have fallen.
Wichita, Kan, July S.-Dry and hot

ma line.
A heavy rain fell between Eldorado
and Fort Scott. It amounted to a half
inch at some places. Conway Springs,
ern Kansas report rain. Heavy local
showers are reported along the line Of
the Frisco road east of this city. Rock
Island railroad officials here have re-
ports of rain at Enid, Ok, and
numerous other points in Oklahoma,
near the Kansas line.
Fredonia, Kan, July S.=One inch
of rain fell here. The fall was lighter
in the south and heavier in the north
part of the county. Four inches are
reported twenty miles northwest.
Fort Scott, Kan. July S.-A fairly
good shower fell here, relieving con-
ditiona temporarily
Eldorado, Kan, July S.-Damage
to the corn crop in this county on ac-
count of the drought is slight up to
the present time. A small proportion
of the crop has tasseled. Rainfall
has been local and in some sections no

PEACE OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
President Taft Talks to the 4. c. E. on
Arbitration.

Atlantic City. n. J., July Sin a
speech to the International Christian
Endeavor convention here, President
Iaft declared that the negotiations for
the arbitration treaty between Great
Britain and the United States have
reached a point where there is no doubt
as to the signing Of the pact
II am glad to say" said the presi-
dent, that today we have reached such
a point in the negotiations for treaty
OF universal arbitration with one Of the
great European powers, that We can
confidently predict the signing of sat
isfactory treaty. The arbitration treaty
heretofore, with Great Britain an0 9TH
er countries, has excepted from the
causes which may be arbitrated those
which involve the vital interests or
either party or its honor. The treaty
which we are now closing with Great
Britain, eliminates these exceptions
and provides that all questions OF IN
ternatiOnal concern, of justhanie
character, shall be submitted to the ar
bttration of an impartial tribunal.
The president expressed the hope
that eventually six European countries
may make similar treaties. Such action,
he said, win not abolish war, but would
furnish a forcible instrument in pre-
Venting it.
The president left here amid the
closing freaks Of severe thunder
storm. His private car was 20 degrees
cooler than it was early in the week,
WQen ne JOurQey6Q through O4llOs III
diana and Pennsylvania, with a tenn
perature indoors Of 100 degrees
The president spoke from a platform
on thu Million Dollar pier. Several
thousand persons heard him and cneer-
ed him as he entered and as he left
the pier.
The first part of the presidents
speech was devoted TO a brief review OF
the work Of the Christian Endeavor
societies.
From praise Of the society, the presi-
dent turned to peace and arbitration
which he said could be expedited by
the influence Of such organizations He
said, in part;
In the last 25 years we have made
great progress toward an international
condition in which war is less likely
than heretofore. It is true that in that
time we have had several wars The
war between China and Japan, the war
between Russia and Japan. the war be-
tween the United States and Spain, the
war between England and the Beers
and perhaps some others.
Nevertheless, as between the great
countries of Europe which have armed
themselves to the teeth since the Ger
man-French war Of 1870, peace has been
maintained: and under the inspiration
of a common desire for peace. treatl IS
have been made with reference to arbi-
tratfon and for the establishment of
court at The Hague for the settlement
of international disputes"

WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY.
Heat Leads to Crop Scare
Prices Unsettled.

New York, July s.-The intense heat
which prevailed for several days over
the great grain growing sections OF the
country led to a crop scare which TN
settled prices OF stocks. The market
fell off abruptly in the first half of the
week, on the receipt of reports from
many sections of damage to crops from
heat and drouth. Rains and rslief from
the heat were followed by a brisk re-
covery of prices. The movement of
stocks through the week demonstrated
that the condition of the crops was the
predominating influence.
The disturbed condition of the for
eign markets which grew out of the
Moroccan situation led to some selling
here for foreign account and pressure
from this source will be a factor n
weakening the market early in the
week. Depression of the coal road
stocks was associated with the decision
of the interstate commerce commission
against Lehigh Valley in the anthracite
rate cases. United States Steel was
benefited by reports of distinct i'm
provement in the steel trade and dis
PLAYED marked strength.

SEE DEFENSE RESTS.
Founder of absolute Lifer Is Kept
from the Stand.

Chicago, July S.-The defense in the
trial of Evelyn Arthur See, charged
with the abduction of Mildred Bridges,
concluded its case today without the
leader of Absolute Life" taking the
witness stand in his own behalf. The
announcement that the defense rested
was made at the opening of court by
Attorney CantWeu and came as a sur
prise to the prosecution who confident
~ believed that See would take the
stand to tell his own story and inter
pref certain passages from the book
of life"
It is said that See was anxious to
testify but finally was persuaded by his
attorney to keep off the witness stand
The state announced it would call Po-
lice Captain Max Danner and Mona
Rees in rebuttal.
1t is expected the case may be con-
Guided and given to the jury Monday.
Mrs. Lucille Bridges frequently kiss
ed See, called him "her doll" and
wrote letters to him while he was in
jail, telling of her love for him, ac-
cording to her testimony given at the
trial
"Fhe many kisses I exchanged with
Mr. See were holy and sinless saluta-
tions," Mrs. Bridges testified. They
had none of the meaning of the kiss
the world outside of absolute life
knows. Mr.. See is a pure and chaste
man. Tt was not sinful for US to kiss.
We had the true light. We were
above sin and safe from temptation.
Nothing we could do would be wrong
Mrs Bridges also admitted that she
frequently visited the temple" of abso-
lutte life, where See made his home, on
many nights while her husband was
away from Chicago. She also said she
had made contributions of $1,000 and
$500 respectively to See in the cause
of absolute life
