PARENTS OF MRS. WAKEFIELD
CAN NEITHER READ NOR WRITE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 22.-
Three hours from New York, the
richest city in the world, and one
hour from one of the greatest uni
versities in the country, live an Am
erican born man and woman who can
neither read nor write and whose
lives have been one constant strug-
gle for bread. The man is Frank
Webster, father of Mrs. Bessie Wake
field, sentenced to hang for the murd-
er of her husband, William Wakefield.
The woman is the girls mother.
The shack is the Webster home
tucked away against a hill at the
north end of Lake Quassapaug, near
Middlebury, Conn. One room serves
as kitchen, dining room and living
room. The ceiling is low. There is
not picture of any kind on the rough
painted walls and four or five old
chairs ard rough wooden table con-
stitute the furnishings. This is the
type of twentieth century civiliza-
tion Bessie Wakefield knew. The en-
tire surroundings of the Webster
home bespeak direst poverty but out
from the terrible conditions, little
Clara Bell, Mrs. Wakefield's daugh-
ter, stands as a veritable flower in a
garden of woe.
George, the boy is quiet and SER
ious. Mrs. Webster said Wakefield
kicked him when he was baby and
his back pains him so at times that
she has to rub it for hours before he
can sleep.
81 will never believe Bessie had a
hand in the killing Of Will Wakefield"
said Mrs. Webster today. "She was
too tenderhearted. She clung to
Wakefield even when he was treating
her the worst, because she loved these
children so. He often threatened to
kill her and she remained with him
for her chldren's sake."

SOCIAL WAR TAKING PLACE
IN THE NATIONS CAPITOL

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 22.-
A merry little social war that is
bound to make the coming season.
unique has developed in Washington
as the result Of the determination OF
cabinet members wives to break q
convention of nearly 100 years stand
ing. In the early days, when there
were only few score members OF
congress, the wives of the congress
men received formal calls from the
ladies of the cabinet in return foi
their own calls.
In the last few years, with more
than 400 ladies in the congressional
set, cabinet ladies have been rushed
to death in following the custom.
Many Of the present set of cabinet
hostesses determined to end it, pro-
posing merely to drive around to the
homes of the congressional hostess,
leaving cards, instead of paying form
al calls.
The Congressional club, composed
of wives Of members, is expected to
take cognizance of the new departure
if the cabinet ladies actually carry
out their intentions.
