evidently Disguised with the long dead
lock in the state legislature over the
election of d successor to United States
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, has ap-
propriated a considerable sum from his
own pocket to call public attention to the
dilatory tactics of the democratic major
ity. On top Of a tall office building
on the main street of the city, looking
toward the capitol, he mas caused to be
erected a big sign, flaring red by day
and brilliantly Illuminated at night by
flashing electrics. The sign reads:
"Wanted-Volunteers for United States
senator. Apply to Deadlock New York
legislature"
Only a handful of legislators are in
Albany today. and there will not be a
quorum for legislative purposes until
next week.
Reports are current that a conference
is to be held in New York within a few
days among the democratic leaders sup

ton of Gov. Dix that Mr.. Sheehan he

dren who were without parents were
received at the home, and for many years
Rev. and Mrs. Davenport took care OF
them at the rectOry in Anacostla during
the winter months.
The necessity of securing permanent
winter home for these children became
more apparent as time went on and Mrs.
Eva S. Cochran of New York became in
terested in the matter and purchased a
large tract Of land and a house at the
head of Talbert street.
This house was occupied for many
years. Mrs. Thomas Ewing. daughter OF

to be assisted in obtaining positions, but
are to be permitted to remain at the
home until such time as they are able to
provide for themselves.
1t is the purpose of the managers to
tear down one of the old buildings now
standing and to remodel the other and
use it as an administration building, and
for some of the older children. The new
buildings will be used. one for boys and
the other for girls. For the very young
children it is proposed TO remodel the
large playhouse.
The managers have announced that tho
property is free from all debt, but have
issued q call for subscribers to assist ir
promoting the work.
The present structures We're erected al
a cost Of about $4,000 by Richardson &
Burgess of Washington. York & Sawyer
of New York city were the architects

When Mrs Melber was escorted into
the court to hear the verdict her face was
just a trfie less blank than it had been
during the trial She stared vacantly at
the mob of men and women-mostly wOn-
en--Crowded in the room. AS the fore
man made his announcement she made no
move, and even when Justice Howard
asked the defendant if she had any reason
TO advance why sentence should not be
pronounced, she sat immovable and silent
as statue.
! The crime for which Mrs. Melber was
convicted was the killing of her four-year-
old son, George, in an out-of-the-Way
bog on the outskirts of Albany. The
boy was strangied with carbolic acid.
Five days later his body was found by a
hunter and Mrs. Melber's arrest at

Mrs. Melber exhibited not the slightest

her arms about her, the tears came and
she writhed in agony.

Convicted of Killing Her Four

TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON
Prisoner Hears Sentence Unmoved,
But Gives Way Later and
VIRTUES in Agony.

ALBANY. y. Y, March IA minimum
sentence of twenty years at hard labor in
Auburn prison and a maximum of life i'm
prisonment was imposed yesterday by
Justice Howard on Mrs. Edith Melber
following her conviction of killing her
only child by forcing acid down his throat
in desolate Albany suburb on the night
of January & last
4 verdict of murder in the second de-
gree was returned by the jury after about
two hours deliheration. Last night Mrs.
Melber's attorneys were unprepared to
say whether they would take an appeal.
After giving the verdict several jurors
sought John H. Dugan Of Mrs. Melber's
counsel and one of them, with tears in
his eyes. explained that the jurors had
agreed that the rendering of such a YER
dict would not keep Mrs. Melber from the
insane asylum, if she is demented, but
would operate to prevent her confinement
in such an institution with the chance of
a discharge later on insanity proceedings.
Three ballots were taken by the jury.
On the first there were six votes for con-
viction of murder in the first degree.
Eight jurors favored a verdict of sec
ond degree murder on the second vote,
and on the third ballot all agreed on this
verdict.

suit was surprising in improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for so long time, followed the
morning meal.

satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
