and sixteen minutes.
The condemned were pitt to death
In the following order:
John w. Collins, Lorenzo l.. Cali,
Calvatore De Marco, Felepo De Marco,
Angelo Guisto, vincenzo Coma and
Jos. Ferrone.
Prison guards expected that Ferrone
might put up fight on his way to the
execution chamber, but he walked
meekly to the chair
Coma tainted as the straps were be-
ing adjusted about his body. The cap
was fixed quickly and the current sent
through his body. All the prisoners
with the exception of Collins walked
into the death chamber protesting
their innocence.
Collins came in smillingly and seem
ingly happy. He did not deny his
guilt. He prayed on his knees at the
chair for a minute before he was exc
cuted.
Guisto, Coma, Cali and the two De
Marcos were convicte dof the murder
of Mrs. Mary Hall in lonely farm
house at Grifins Corner in West Ches-
ter county, on November 9, 1911. Santa

of assassins, was electrocuted July 8,
after he had confessed in a letter to

of employees and their $100,O00 payroll
The house bill aggregated $4,000, 900,
but the senate ran it up to exceeding
$4,000, 900, then, when the bin went
to conference, the senate yielded on
almost everything except the agencies.
Accordingly the bill, which the con
ferees are expected to sign tomor
row, will show, among others, the fol
lowing changes and concessions.
Concessions Are Made.
The senate gives up the demand for
$S,0OO,OO0 for payment fthe Ute In
dian claim and accepts an appropria-
tion OF 100000 on account for these
Indians which the house is willing to
give.
The senate recedes Internationally
on the John West claim from Okla
homa for $4,000,
The senate recedes from it's demand
for $1,500,OOO irrigation scheme for
the Yakima Indians in Washington.
The senate yields to the house in
the matter of the Hampton school for
colored children and agres to having
the 100 Indians in that institute sent
to Carlisle.
Finally, the senate agreed yester-
day to give up the sixteen agencies
and save 100000 on that item after
which it was decided to sign the con-
ference report tomorrow.
The report is tonight that the con
ferees will again be deadloeked to-
morrow over the agencies.
The house readily agreed to the
Gore amendment appropriating $780,
600 for Indian school children in Ok
lahoma.
The senate further yielded to the
house and accepted the provision that
no money shall be expended out Of
the tribal funds of the Indians unless
authorized by specific appropriation
by congress, except for school pur-
poses.

TO DIE FOR MURDER OF
HENRY BEATT|E'S AUNT

Richmond, Va, Aug. Thursday
will see the dawn of the last day Of
life to be accorded Virginia Christian,
young negress who brutally murder
ed Mrs. Ida Belote in her home in
Hampton, Vt, on March 1S, last. The
black girl is scheduled to go to her
death in the electric chair on August
16, unless Governor Mann grants her
reprieve.
Added interest is lent to the crime
both because Of its extreme brutality
and the fact that the murdered wo-
man was an aunt Of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., who murdered his young
wife in July, 1911.
The crime was perpetrated after a
quarrel between Mrs. Belote and the
negress, whom the murdered won an
accused of secreting some linen that
had been given her to wash. The
white woman was found with her head
battered in and towel stuffed into
her mouth.
Many attempts were made to save
the negress from the death penalty
but all were in vain The execution
of the Christian girl will be the first
electrocution of a woman in the MS
tory of Virginia, though several other
women have met their death at legal
hangings.

CONFEDERATES WILL
MEET At ADA
Reunion to Be Held in Ada September
4, 5 and 6.
4, 5 and g..

Since before even the paleolithic
period of man he has been clannish.
1t is inherent. They love assemblies
and conversation. Especially is this
so as related to interest in common,
and more especially if those common
interests have called forth fellow
ship in sacrifice and shedding of
blood. Out of this innate principle
has come the church. the assemblies,
the reunions.
It is this love of gathering in a
common interest that brings the old
Confederate Veterans to Ada on Sep
tember 4, and 6. And it must be, as
the years increase there is a cores
ponding decrease in the ranks. These
reunions represent the greatest day
of the year in the life of many of our
sons of the Southland Many phases
of the reunion contribute to this, there
fore not one should fail to be at every
gathering until his taps is sounded.
Realizing that these gatherings are
freighted with much that is tender,
sacred, reminiscent and pathetic, Ada
is undertaking to make it real oasis
for the Veterans. On arrival in Ada
free transportation will be furnished
to the homes and headquarters and
entertainment will be- provided free
to each Veteran and his wife A COM
mittee of ladies will be at the disposal
of the wives of the Veterans For
those who want it there will be tents
and cots of regulation government
type Many local features will add TO
the reunion.

THREE MEN
ATTACK TY COBB
Three Men Stabbed The Baseball Star
Early This Morning in Detroit.

| Syracuse, N. Y, Aug. H. Ty Cobb
was attacked and stabbed in the back
fby three unknown men in Detroit early
this morning while on his way to the
train which was to bring him and the
team to this city for an exhibition
game this afternoon.
Cobb's agility saved him from pos
sible death. His injuries are slight.
Cobb was driving his motor car to
the station, accompanied by his wife,
when three assailants appeared from
behind building at the corner of
Trumbull and Bagg streets and ordered
the car to stop.
The men were paaNy under the in
fiuence Of liquor az when the machine
came to a stop Cobb jumped out and
began to argue with them.
The men then demanded money and
made a lunge at Cobb. Cobb attacked
them. One man was knocked down
with blow to the chin and then one
of the others began to run, while the
third one grabbed Cobb around the
neck. While the two were struggling
the thug stabbed Cobb in the back.
Cobb finally shook off the assaiIant
and regained his car.
Cobb was treated at the Yates hotel
on the arrival of the Detroit team. Two
stitches were taken in his back. Cobb
tried to keep the matter quiet and
would not discuss it.
