NEGRO THUG GETS
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Assailant of Aged Mrs. Glad

Twenty-Five years Imprisonment was
the punishment given today by Justice
Wright, in Criminal Court No. l, to
John Henry Purcell a negro, convicted
Of severely assaulting Mrs. Annie Glad
mon, aged seventy years, in her George
town grocery store, November 13, 1908.
Your assault was heartless, brutal,
and barbarous crime; utterly cold
blooded," said Justice Wright, to the
negro, as he pronounced sentence.
You did not hesitate to let a human
life stand between You and a dollar or
two you could steal, and the protection
of society demands that you be put
away where you are rendered harm
less"
Purnelrs attorney, James O'Shea,
noted an appeal to the District Court Of
Appeals from the sentence.
The negro attacked Mrs. Gladmon
with a large bottle, crushing It against
her head, and nearly severing an ear.
Sight Of one eye was almost entirely
DESTROYED, following which the negro
choked her into Inconsistencies and
left her for dead.

STORY FACTION IS
" PLAYING POLITICS"
g-
Members of D. A. r. Finance
Committee Discuss
Amendments.
WITHDRAWAL URGED
BY AUDIT COMPANY
Names Omitted Because Those
Women Did Not Attend the
Conference.

Declaring that the Story faction of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
has been, since the meeting of the ma
tional congress last spring. attempting
to make political capital of the pro-
posed amendments to the bylaws Of
the organization, members of the finance
committee today assert that they have
neitherSdeiense nor apology to make to
the Storyites concerning their with
drawaI Of these amendments.
The comment being made today by
Mrs. Story's followers on the omission
of the names of Mrs. Bushnell and Mrs.
Cuflop, wife of Representative CuHop
of Indiana, from the circular-letter sent
out by the finance committee, announc-
ing the withdrawal of the amendments
is also made, the committee members
assert, lin the hope of generating more
political capital"
Mrs. Mabel c. Swormstedt, chairman
Of the finance committee of the organi-
zRtion, this morning made the following
statement TO a representative of The
Times:
Question of Authority. e.
From a story published today, it
seems that the conservatives are MAX
ing an attempt to show that the finance
committee has overstePped the bounds
of authority in Withdrawing these
amendments. We do not consider this
to be the case, for a proposed amend
ment is exactly like a motion. II may
be withdrawn at any time.
''As the conservatives and everybody
else knows, however. the amendments
are not an administration measure.
They were proposed by the American
Audit Company, and it is upon the sug-
gestion of his company, in the light of
additional information which ii has
gained concerning the organization, that
the amendments are withdrawn by the
finance committee.
The finance committee has sent no
tice 10 the various chapters throughout
the country Of the withdrawal of these
amendments simply because these char-
tiers should como to the congress in
April informed or the matter.
In Hands of Congress.
''As for the omission of the names
OF Mrs. Pushnell and Mrs. CuIlop. ev-
eryone knows that neither of these
women is in Washington at present
and that, therefore, they could not pos
sihly have attended the meeting of the
committee held This week" -
The Story faction. on the other hand.
claims that the finance committee has
withdrawn the amendment for political
reasons wholly, and assert that mas
much as these amendments were sub
mitted TO the congress last year, they
are new in the hands Of congress and
not of the finance committee The
Storyites objected strenuously to tire
amendments on the ground that they
gave the powers of car" to tfe
president general.
Mrs. Scott's supporters declare that
the amendments weaken the power Of
the president general, and that they are
not an administration measure.
