A SLAYERS co To
CHAIR IN TERROR
Italian. in Hysteria, Exonerates
Five Others Condemned for
Same Crime.

ossINING, N Y, July 8i-Three
r,urderers were electrocuted in rapid
,uccession in Sing Sing prison early
today The three men were the most
hvsterical ever executed here, and each
rsnt moaning or praying to his death.
The men electrocuted were:
ssnto Zanzara, Italian, implicated in
tbe murder of Mrs. Mary Hall at Gro
tor Lake. November 9, 1911
giuseppe Cerelli Italian, who killed
fellow workman at the Millville res
ervoir in Yonkers.
George Williams negro, who killed
Charles Couklin. station agent at Gro
ton Lake, in April, 1911.
The same voltage was used for each,
but three contacts were required to kill
zanzara and Williams. Only two were
necessary for Cerelli.
Zanzara showed greater terror of the
electric chair than any man previously
executed at Sing Sing. He moaned and
.obbed in hysteria. but before he was
strained in the chair he knelt In prayer.
BEFORE his execution Zanzara wrote
statement to Warden Kennedy, in
which he declared he alone was guilty
of the murder of Mrs Hall. There are
Ave other men awaiting execution for
This crime -Vincenzo Zena, Angelo
Gusti Filcho DeMareo, Lorenzo Cali
and salvador DeMarco The statement
made bv Zanzara, that all the others
we're Innocent, was the fifth that he
had made. No two were alike, and the
other Italians probably will be unable
IN obtain new trial.
Zanzara was in the electric chair
nine minutes and fourteen seconds be-
.ore the 1 900 volts killed him.
CerelH prayed in loud voice before
he was strapped in. He was in the
hair for five minutes. Williams was
In the chair eight minutes.

CONNOR WOULD
Be A CANDIDATE
Commissioner May Announce
to Succeed Self Despite Al
legged Promise to Brown.

Will j. j. Conner, commissioner Of
agriculture. be a candidate to succeed
himself?
That is a pertinent question politi-
clans in Georgia are asking themselves
nowadays, and thereby hangs one of
the most interesting and absorbing
tales current in political circles.
If the commissioner does announce
as a candidate to succeed himself he
must do so. so the inside story goes, in
direct violation of promise made to
the governor when that gentleman ap-
pointed Commissioner Connor~ in sue
cession to Thomas,G G. Hudson. resigned,
unless he can get the governor to re-
lease him from said promise
When Commissioner Hudson re-
signed there. were two aspirants for the
office he vacated. James D Price and
j. ]. Brown. The governor was en-
barrassed in the matter Of appoint
ment then for. both candidates had
claims on his consideration, and he
was loathe to give the plum to either,
and thus express a preference between
them.
Conner Made Pronnise7
Finally the governor decided to ap-
point some one who would say he
would not be candidate to succeed
himself. and thereby leave Brown and
Price even at the start Of the big race,
so far as the governor was concerned
Of appointment was put squarely up to
Mr.. Conner, who after a days hesita-
ton, agreed to the terms of temporary
occupancy Both Price and Brown
stated frankly that they would be can
,didates for the long term. and the gov
ernor passed them from his mind
therefore, as probable appointees Aft
er his appointment to the Office of COM
missioner of agriculture Mr.. Conner
appointed j. ]. Brown his assistant.
but that was none Of the governors
affair.
Now. it is said, Commissioner Con
nor has. become greatly enamored of
the office he holds and would like to
have try for it before the people.
1t is said Mr.. Conner would an
nounce at once but for the promise he
made the governor. Moreover it is
said that he has sounded the governor
on the matter of a release from that
promise, but has met cold response.
The governor has had nothing to say
about the matter, and probably will
have nothing to say, unless, in his ma
ture judgment, it becomes necessary
for him to make clear certain features
of the situation

REDUCTION OF PEST
INCREASES COTTON
Big 1911 Crop Due to Great Extent
to Decrease of Boil Weeyil in
Cotton Region.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Reduc-
ton of boil weevils in the cotton
belt during 1911 undoubtedly had
an important bearing on the pro-
duction Of the record cotton crop, in
the opinion of w. D. Hunter of the
department of agriculture's bureau
of, entomology. In report on the
movement of the Mexican cotton
boil weevil, Mr., Hunter says:
During 1911 the boil weevil
was greatly reduced throughout the
entire region, This resulted from a
combination of climatic influences
extending over period of about
three years. The insect was eXter-
minated in about 90, 900 square
miles in Northwestern Texas and
Western Oklahoma. Undoubtedly
these conditions had an important
bearing on the large crop of 1911
