HANG 5 MURDERERS
FINALLY EXECUTED WHILE LAW.
YERs PETITION IN VAIN FOR
STAY ORDERS.
ONE NEGRO, FOUR POLES
Men Go Calmly TO Meet Death on
GaiIows.-Four Pay Penalty for
Brutal Murder Of Young
Truck Farmer.

Chicago, ILL., - Five murderers
were hanged in the county Jail while
counsel were vainly trying to secure
a stay order to prevent the execution.
The men were:
Ewald Shiblawski, aged "a.
Frank Shiblawski, aged 81.
Philip Sommerling, aged "a.
Thomas Schultz, aged 10.
Thomas Jennings, a negro, aged 80.
The first four were the slayers of
Fred w. Guelzow, Jr., a young truck
farmer, who was held up and muir
dered in cold blood while he was re-
turning to his home in the outskirts
of the city last October. Jennings,
while invading the home of Clarence
Hitler railway clerk, was discovered
by Hitler, whom he killed
The Shiblawski brothers were the
first to mount the scaffold, and the
drops scarcely had fallen when bail
if from the superior court rushed into
the Jail Office and summoned Jailer
Davies to appear before Judge Nc
Kinley.
The command was not obeyed, and
instead Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters
telephoned to the judge that two of
the men had been hanged and that
the executions would proceed unless
formal writ prevented. No writ
was issued, and Sommerling and
Schultz followed their companions in
crime on the gallows.
Word that the sentences had been
carried out was taken to Judge Nc
Kinley's courtroom while Rev. j. S.
Morris, one of the clergy who had Wis.
tied the condemned men in the jail,
was testifying to his opinion that the
four were insane. The proceedings
were dismissed without further cere-
mony.
The men murdered Guelzow last DC.
tober on the northwest side while he
was on his way to market with load
of garden truck. Guelzow, who had
been married little more than year,
pleaded with his assailants to take his
money but spare his life for the sake
of his wife and month-old baby. In
stead, his slayers attacked him with
clubs, knives and revolvers. After
they had killed him they mutilated his
body. They were arrested while try
ing to sell GuelzOw's horses.

Mexico City, Mexico-Emulating
the methods of General Weyler in

more serious than the growing num-
Der of Vasquistas and their increasing

Without explaining how it was re-

Grandma Bass was not at home

the visitors could see no door at

Type of Mother Instructed by Nurses

boarding mistresses who were really
criminally negligent in the prepare
ton of the bottled food given their
charges; many children, struggling in.
fants Of but few months of age,
were left to the care of grandmothers
who had had no experience with bot
tie babies and who did through ignor-
ance everything the wrong way, and
some Of the infants were found to be
starving.
The nurses, therefore, quickly clas-
sified the hundreds of babies they
saw, planning to see some of the
healthy, well-cared for babies once a
month and the sickly ones once or
even twice day By concentrating
their attention on the care of the ba-
bies who were really in desperate
need of assistance, DR.. Levy's little
MISUNDERSTANDING corps was able to
obtain remarkable results in keeping
alive and we'll children who, had they
been left to the sole care of their
mothers, would have died within a
few months Of starvation or disease.
In regard to the care Of children,
the work Of the Richmond department
of health is simply one for the con-
servation Of the human race. Miss
Detwiler, whose expert advice is at
the disposal Of the mothers of Rich
mond day and night, says, in regard to
her work among the mothers in the
districts visited by the city nurses:
In our work here we started with
four definite objects, viz, to give
babes chance to be born without Sc
rious prenatal handicaps; to make
mothers understand how to feed their
infants properly: to give mothers a
chance to carry out the instructions
given them, and to provide well for
infants who have lost their mothers,
either by death or desertion.
wherever it was possible, we I'M
sisted on mothers giving their babes
food supplied by nature. When this
was not possible, especially women
who had to work in factories, we in-
sisted as far as possible on half breast
and half bottle feelings.

SAVING THE BABIES.
How One City Is Conserving

Expert Finds Examples Of Gross Care.
Iessness and Ignorance In the
Care Of Youngsters Among
Both Whites and Blacks.

Richmond, Va.-That there are hum
dreds of thousands Of American ba-
bies sacrificed yearly on the altar OF
incompetent motherhood has been
proven conclusively by the officers of
the department Of health of this city.
That tens Of thousands of these in
tants may be saved, may be raised
into strong men and women, has also
been conclusively proven by DR.. Err
nest G. Levy, chief health officer of
Richmond, and his able assistants,
For the sake Of the nation, for the
sake of humanity, and for the sake

ers. DIR. Levy has proven that munich
pally supervised babies stand a bet
ter, far better, chance of living than
do unsupervised babies be they even
of the families of the very we'll to do
citizens.
Retaining the expert services of
Miss Elizabeth Detwiler a trained
nurse specialized in the care of babies,
DR. Levy planned the active campaign
for the saving Of infant life in Rich
mond. Two great sections Of the city
were chosen for the initial campaign,
one section in which whites of the la
boring classes lived. the other tenanted
by blacks. In these sections of the
city the infant mortality for years
had been exceedingly high. Securing
two more trained nurses, house-to.
house canvass for babies was made In
these two sections. 1t took but a few
weeks for the nurses to recognize the
great need for the supervision of the
care of babies in these sections Of the
city.
Examples Of gross carelessness and
ignorance in the care of youngsters
We're found among both the whites
and the blacks. Scores of young moth.
ers were found who had to leave their
