FIRST VIRGINIA
WOMAN EXECUTED
Virginia Christian Electrocuted This
Morning for Murder of Her
Employer. !.

By United Press.
Richmond, Va, Aug. 16.-Virginia
Christian, a negro girl, was electro
cuted here this morning. She had
been tried and convicted of the muir
der of her employer, Mrs. Ida Be-
lette. She was the first woman to be
executed in the state of Virginia.
Virginia Christian was seventeen
years old and was shocked to death
in the chair which recently was used
to kill Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. She
was led to the chair shortly after
dawn this morning and was pro-
Rounced dead after the second ap.
plication of the current.
The approach Of death did not
change the attitude of sullen and I'M
concerned stolidness which belonged
to the girl since her conviction. All
efforts to arouse some manifestation
of conscience in her met with no re-
spouse and she accepted administra-
tons without emotion.
Governor Mann made it plain yes
terday that he would not interfere
with the execution and it was car
ried out this morning as planned

SNIFFERS FIND RELIEF,
Absence Of Rag Weed in Minnesota
Helps Hay Fever Sufferers.

st. Paul, Aug. 16.-(Special to the
Pioneer) -There are thousands Of
men and women who look at the
third week of August with terror and
realization that there is no escape for
them except to flee their native habi-
tat. Hay fever is no respecter of per-
sons and if the lining of the nose is
in proper condition for the tickling
effect of the pollen of weeds the suf-
ferer can only seek another locality
The open season for hay feverites
has begun in Minnesota and every
day sees thousands of sufferers with
pockets full of handkerchiefs travel
ing North. A nights ride from the
Iowa line brings relief as suddenly as
the trouble came
''Hay fever is caused by the pollen
of rag weeds and Golden Rod" said
DR.. Howard Lancaster, St. Paul's
commissioner of health. "In the
Northern part of Minnesota there are
large areas where this weed is total
ly unknown and there is no hay few
err" :
The large bodies of water in Min
nesota tend largely to diminish the
weed crop, and as there are 10000
lakes in this state, the help for pa
tients is great. In fact the state is
rapidly becoming known as a resort
for all who have hay fever and asth-

GOODWIN NEAR DEATH.
Thrown on the Rocks in Stormy Sea
for Sake of Woman.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 16.-Nat
G. Goodwin, actor, was seriously and
probably fatally injured about noon
at Rocky Point, twelve miles south
of Hueneme, by first being thrown
from skiff On the rocks by break
ers, and then by being struck by the
boat itself as it was dashed ashore.
At the hospital tonight Goodwin
condition was said to be grave. His
injuries were suffered while he was
attempting to reach shore from a
launch in a row boat on an errand
in response to a request of a woman
companion. The captain Of the
launch had refused to attempt to
reach shore because Of roughness Of
the breakers.

FAILURE MARKS
THIRD ATTEMPT
House Leaders Could Not Muster Suf-
fcient Two thirds to Override
the Veto.
WILL VOTE AGAIN TODAY
Measure Scheduled To Be Shorn of
Proposed Seven Year Civil
Service Term.
REPUBLICANS ARE INSURGENI
Twelve Stay With the Democrats OF
the Measure-May Kill Com
mon Court.

Washington, Aug. 16. - House
Democratic leaders failed yesterday
in the third successive effort to over
ride the president when they sought
to pass the legislative, executive and
judicial bill over Taft's veto. The
vote 1873 to 1O7 was twenty short of
the required two-thirds voting AS
result the bill will be taken in hand
today and shorn of the provision to
which the president objected, fixing
a seven-year tenure for government
employees under the civil service, and
send it on it's way again.
Another feature to which the presi-
dent objected, the abolition of the
commerce court will be left in the
measure but the temper of the SEN
ate on this program is yet to be as
certained.
1t is acknowledged at both ends of
the capitol that there is strong senti-
ment against continuance of the
court, and objection by the senate for
this reason is not expected. So strong
is the sentiment against the tribunal
that leaders Of both senate and house
believe if the president vetoes the bill
as changed it can be passed over his
objection. Eighteen Democrats de-
serted their party on the roll call
while twelve ''insurgent' Republi-
cans voted with the majority.
The Democrats were: Allen, Sharp
Curley, Murray, Peters and Thayer,
and Whitaker, Ohio; Brandtley, Gay,
Massachusetts,; Donahue, Pennsylva-
MIA; Hammil, Kinlaid, Mccoy, New
Jersey; Levy, Sulzer, Talcott, New
York; Lorbreck, Nebraska; Onslaught
ensey, Rhode Island, Riley, Connec-
ticut.
The Republicans who remained
with the Democrats on the vote and
who have voted roll calls were: An
derson, Lindbergh, Davis, Minnesota;
Good, Green, Haugen, Pickett, Ken
dali, Iowa; French, Idaho; Jackson
and Young, Kansas; LaFollette, Wis
cOnsin; Morse, Washin gton.

MAY FREE KATE EDW ARDS

Reading, Pa, Aug. 16.-Freedom
is believed to be in sight for Mrs.
Kate Edwards, the most remarkable
woman prisoner in the United States.
For eleven years the woman has been
confined in the Berks county jail I'M
der sentence of death. Once a gal
lows was erected where she could
see it from her window. Then came
reprieve, which reached the jail
while a minister was administering
the last rites to the condemned wom-
an. Since that time three governors
of PENNSYLVANIA have declined to sign
the death warrant, and now her case
is to be brought before the board of
pardons with the probable result, it
is believed, that she will be given
her freedom.
Mrs Edwards and negro named
Gleason were arrested for the murder
of the womans husband. The negro
was a paramour Of the woman and
the husband declared he would kill
her. In fear of her life, Mrs. Ed
wards killed her husband one night
and threw his body into we'll. On
a second trial Gleason was acquitted,
but the woman was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged
Mrs. Edward came to prison VIC
ious to the last degree, a drunkard,
unkempt, desperate and intractable
She was like wild beast. Good
women and patient ministers worked
years to reform her. The success of
their efforts has been nothing less
than marvellous. Today the woman
possesses a very fair education, is an
adept at needle work, extremely neat
in her personal appearance and deep
~ religious in her nature

MAY SAVE GRAVES.
Girls, Make Stubborn Fight For Sen
timent Against Business.

i Kansas City, Aug. 16.-Word that
the house Indian affairs committee
had reported the bill prohibiting the
removal of the Huron cemetery in
Kansas City, Kan, is the first encour-
agement in several years that has
come to three sisters, Misses Conley,
descendants of the once powerful
Wyandotte tribe in their fight to pre-
vent what they term dissertation of
the graves of their ancestors.
When it was announced several
years ago that the old Indian burying
ground, now one of the most valuable
pieces of property in Kansas City,
Kan, was to be sold to make way for
twentieth century improvements, the
sisters objected.
When they saw that the order to
vacate the burying ground would be
carried out, one of the sisters, Miss
Lydia Conley, studied law and was
admitted to the bar to fight the sale
in the court. She appeared before the
supreme court of the United States
in her effort to have the order re-
scinded, but failed.
Then the sisters erected fort in
the center of the cemetery and for
three years guarded it with shotguns.
The ground was given to the Wy
andotte Indians in the early ffties
when it was not worth a good pony.
The deed declared that aas long as
grass grows and water runs this spot
shall be used as burying ground for
the Wyandotte Indians

GIVE AWAY DoUGHNUTS
Model Manufacturing Company Plant
Will Be Opened for Inspection
Saturday Afternoon.
NEW MACHINES INSTALLED

In order that his plant may become
better known to Be1nidji people and
that they may appreciate it's clean
iness, Frank Koors, maaager of the
Model Manufacturing company, will
throw the plant open to the public
tomorrow afternoon from 2 until g..
Visitors will be presented with
doughnuts, fresh and hot from the
ovens, and new candies. 49,
Since Mr.. Koors bought out the
w. A. Mcdonald interests in the COM
pany, the plant has undergone sew
eral changes. A general houseclean-
ing resulted in everything now be-
ing made under sanitary conditions
and the kitchens present as neat an
appearance as those of the most par
ticular housewives in the city.
One of the new machines recently
purchased by the company is a bread
mixer, which mixes a batch of 1000
loaves at a time. This work form
erly took two men several hours day
but with the machine, the work is
turned out in less time and it has
the added advantage of doing away
with the necessity of having any
hands working in the dough. The
machine gives the bread an even tex
ture.
Bread, and other such stuffs, are
baked in large pans which are set in
a. brick oven, heated to the right
temperature. AS soon as the bread
comes from the oven, it is wrapped in
waxed paper and is not touched by
any hands until opened by the con-
sumner. Other bread stuffs, such as
doughnuts, buns, rollers, ETC., are
placed on long racks until cooled and
then put in glass cases until taken
away by the customers.
A machine which automatically
cuts doughnuts was added to the
equipment of the plant few weeks
ago. The dough is fed in through
the top and as fast as mar. can turn
the crank, perfect doughnut is
dropped onto the pan below. This
machine not only saves time but does
away with much handling of the
dough which was formerly necessary.
In the ice cream department, ten
gallon ice cream mixer has been in
stalled to replace the apparatus
formerly used. The new machine is
cooled by a current of water auto
