pressure of public sentiment will
force the members of his party In
the legislature to back down and

Paris, April 21.-In drizzline

Monier, three of Bonnet's notorious
automobile bandits today were gull

The execution carried out premature

Cured at 4.30 a. m. In the boulevard
Arego, outside the prison Del la San

entirely surrounded the guillotine,
and prevented the small mob that
gathered from seeing the men die.
Soudy. Callemin and Monier, were
carried in a rumbling two-wheel cart
to the instrument of death and
quickly prepared for the execution.
Soudy who Is twenty-one years old
was the first to drop his head in the
basket of sawdust, he was very col

ran over him was due to the damp

Under the law, the doomed must
be guillotined in public. The march
ing of the soldiers and the rumbling
of the cart attracted many people
and though the guards and police
formed such a solid wall about the
beheading stand that none of. the
mob could see, the people knew what
was going on ana there was more
cries of long live anarchy" Several
arrests were Immediately made then
the mob subsidized satisfied to see
nothing but the backs of the guards

sweeping of the knife as 1t descend

The men We're members of a gang
that terrorized Paris for months and
were charged with many crimes
Sentence was passed when they were
convicted of the shooting of Gaby, a
bank messenger after they had rob-

money. It is predicted that the put
ting to death of the bandits this
morning will mark the end of such
executions in France.

BATTLING THE POLICE
Sp.cial ~ United Pr.ss Wire.

London, April 2t-The disappear
ance of Joseph Wilberforce Martin,
the missing Memphis cotton broker,
was just as much Of mystery today
as it was April 3. when he dropped
from sight somewhere between his
fiat and the Royal Automobile Club.
The Daily Nails wireless dispatch
from the captain of the steamship
Walmer Castle, bound for South
Africa, effectively disposed of the
rumor that Martin sailed on the YES
sci April 3. Nobody has yet appear
ed at Vebay, Switzerland, to claim
the letters and kilograms there ad-
dressed to j. w. Martin. Several
are from London. Telegraphers in
Vebay, who handle the mysterious
messages sent from there signed

were not filed by any one resembling
the missing man.

MANY OUT TO
HEAR BISHOP
Refers to Health of Rector
of st. Peters

Large congregations at both the
Holy Cross and St. Peters Protestant
Episcopal churches greeted the Rt
Rev. John Scarborough, bishop OF
the diocese of Trenton, upon his Wis
| 1t to this city yesterday. The bishop
came here from South River where
he had confirmed class of four at
the morning service.
Services at the Holy Cross we're
held at 4 o'clock at which time u
class of thirteen consisting of nine
girls and four boys, was confirmed.
He preached a forceful sermon fol-
lowing the confirmation.
In his remarks the bishop highly
mplimented the church and con-
gregation on the good showing dur
ing the past year. Rev. Sidney
Dixon, rector In charge, made the
prayer and presented the class. The
church was crowded with the mem
bers of the church and the friends
of the class. There was special mu-
sic by the choir.
In the evening Bishop Scarborough
visited st. Peters parish and took
part in evening prayer. In speaking
of his visit he said that while there
was no confirmation class, that there
were other duties for a bishop to per-
form In q parish other than confirm.
He said the bishop was responsible
for the general welfare of all the
parishes in the diocese. He spoke in
the highest terms of Rev. James l..
Lancaster, rector of ST. Peters, and
said he greatly regretted that he was
in such poor health. The bishop de-
clared that the time had come when
something must be done regarding
this, that the parish must get an
assistant for the rector, the rector
would have to resign or be granted
long vacation. Just what was the
proper course, the bishop refused to
state saying he had explicit confin-
dence In Mr.. Lancaster and he knew
that he would do what in his good
Judgment was deemed best. The
bishop advised that the matter be
taken up with the vestry of the
church and acted upon in way
that would be for the best interest
of all concerned.
A rumor was prevalent about the
city this morning that Mr.. Lancaster
had resigned as rector at st. Peters.
When Mr.. Lancaster was seen today
he denied this. He said the bishop
came to st. Peters last night
as his guest and spent the
night at the rectory, goln 20 \ 2

A few years ago. with all the SPLEEN

presence or scholars gathered from the
ends OF the earth, occurred the inaugu-
ration OF the president OF one OF the
greatest American universities. The
outgoing president. in tho fulness OF
years and honor, delivered his vale
dictory, in which he lavished praise
upon his successor The new presl-
dent then delivered his inaugural. but
he made no reference to his great
predecessor, who had successfully de-
voted more than a generation to the
work OF building a provincial univer-
sity into one OF the mightiest educa-

WHAT DOES VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY
MEANf

Democrats from every city and coun-
~ In Maryland met in State conyen-
ton this week for tho solo purpose of
formulating a platform defining tho
party position on public Issues. They
decided with practical unanimity upoh
declaration OF principles. by which
the representatives of the party will
he guided in constructive State legis-
lation Not note OF discord was
struck. Tho proceeding was alto
Sether harmonious: yet its work won
the commentator of tho severcst OF
its Republican and Progressive Repub-
lican critics.
Why should not the Democrats Of
Virginia do the same thing? What
Valid objection Is there to their having
q similar platform convention. which
could and would adopt q statement OF
principles, upon which all Democrats
would agree? II the Democrats of
Maryland feel the need of n platform,
surely the Democrats OF Virginia must
also. If the Maryland Democracy can
agree upon n broad declaration for
home rule for municipalities. tax equal
ization, abolition of contract labor. So
cial reform. game protection, and the
like, the Virginia Democracy can do
the same thing.
What does Virginia Democracy mean?
For what principles inside the State
does the Democratic party OF Virginia
stand? Complete answer is imposs!-
bic. Democracy means one thing TO
one Democrat and something else to
another Democrat Ask men well-in-
formed politically TO interpret Viy-
ginia Democracy in terms of princi-
pies and observe the divergence in their
replies. Every Virginia Democrat car
res his own Individual Democratic
platform under his hat.
Let the Democratic party OF the Com
monwealth assemble some time in Oc-
tober and adopt n declaration of the
broad principles TO which It is com
mitted Let 1t chart the course over
which constructive legislation is to
proceed.
