WILSON Is AFTER
BASEBALL AGAIN
Editor Star Herald:

Editor Star Herald:
| again wish to inform the many
readers Of your paper that | still
zealously cherish an undying anu
pathy for all manner OF profession
al gaming. am fully persuaded
and think | know, that there Is no
harm in innocent school children
playing baseball, save the physical
hurt that il does Infict on those
who are engaged in the game, aud
perhaps the innocent by'standers,
and very often they are tue ones
who get hurt. | said innocent
children aud indeed they are inno'
cent just as long as they play for
annocent pastime, sport and re.
creation, but when that intoxicating
spirit Of rivalry, competition, emu
lation, and strife enters their inno'
cent minds, hearts, souls, or beings
they then cease TO be innocent.
And, Oh! how long is it until
that hell.born spirit enters their lit
Gle innocent minds, when they are
constantly exposed to the nowexist.
ing environments, taught by pre-
cept and example, they soon imbibe
the spirit Of the times, and learn
that baseball is a national game, a
profession, a something Of great
importance, and that vast sums of

while he keeps them excited, and
intoxicated by indulging them in
those hell.begotton games, how can
he or she expect TO elevate their
minds to lofty ideals when they are
exercised in the most groyeling, and
brutal sports every day, their minds

Do you taxpayers catch on? Every
parent is opposed to their
boys playing baseball, but they
know it will take great effort to
keep them from playing; they know
that boys and even little girls are

Now a number of the good people
of this community know that on

wrong and a violation of the law to
play ball on Sunday in this state.

DOUBLE ELEcTRocuTIoN
Two Murderers Were Sent to Chair
Yesterday at Auburn Prison


Yesterday at Auburn Prison
Auburn, N. Y, June 19.-The sec
ond double electrocution in the his
tory of Auburn prison took place
Tuesday morning when Ralph Fried
man and Jacob Kuhn, the Rochester
burglars, who murdered George A.
Schuchart, grocer, whose store
they were robbing, paid the extreme
penalty. Friedman went to the chair
first without losing the remarkable
nerve that sustained him from the
moment of his conviction, when he
exclaimed, "lll go to the chair with
a smile on my face. They won't see
me finch"
The smile was absent, but calm
resignation and mild interest in the
final adjustment of the electrodes
marked his departure.
Kuhn, who had lost his nerve dur
ing the past few days, had insisted
that his execution would be an in
justice because he did not fire the
revolver that killed Schuchart, chan
ged his demeanor during the final
hours and went to his death smiling.
Sustained by the voices of the priests
at his side reciting the Litany of the
Saints, he surprised his attendants
by stepping directly from the group
that entered the chamber. going al
most eagerly straight to the chair.
His eyes wandered over the witness
es and he uttered Goodbye, father"
as he threw a last glance toward
Father Hickey. the prison chaplain,
and Father Cchellhorn of Rochester,
The electrocution progressed rap
idly, Friedman taking his seat a
minute after the witnesses entered
the chamber. One contact of 1900
volts at from seven TO eight ampheres
was administered and held for a min
ute, followed later by second con-
tact OF ten seconds duration. Fried
mans head was slightly burned by
the head electrode. He was pronoun-
ced dead at 6:l4 o'clock

ed as to his death and the second con-
tact was given for ten seconds. At
6:25 the physicians pronounced him
dead and the witnesses returned TO

connection with the execution.
Both men confessed their. part in
the crime. but the details were not
made public. They received commun.
ion an hour before their death. and

claimed by relatives in Rochester.

ing tooth and nail to discredit Mr..
Howe One of the group has devot-
ed large share of his time for weeks
TO circulation OF falsehood and dis
tortion, and one or two more during
the past week have joined him in his
attempt. Some have been honestly
misled by cunningly circulated false
hood and others by Misunderstanding
of the real facts. The result was the
largest Republican caucus held in
Bennington in ten years and most
representative gathering of the citi-
zens who voted overwhelmingly by
ten to one or more to sustain and en-
dorse a citizen of Bennington in an
honorable ambition. Nine tenths Of
the effort was put forth by the OPP
ponents of Mr.. Howe and yet nine
tenths of the voters were in Mr..
Howe's favor. The lesson ought to
be plain TO any man who can think
for himself Bennington is a public
spirited community and will not stand
for groundless and unfair attacks on
citizen of the town. even though
they may not always agree with him
or approve of his acts on all occa-
sions. 1t was a victory for Benning
ton and the honor OF its citizenship,
much more than triumph for any
man.

1t developed at the hearing that
they had stopped at the Canadian

ward story and as it was evident that
they thought they had compiled with
the law Special Deputy Collector
Hadley released their automobiles
and let them go, with their promise
that they would see that Secretary
MacNamee of the Montreal Automo-
bile club issued warning by circular
letter and through the newspapers
that tourists from Canada must stop
and report at the nearest United
States customs house when entering
the United States.
Special Deputy Collector Hadley
made it clear that those who entered
the district of Champion hereafter in
automobiles without reporting at the
nearest United States customs house

quences.
