Mrs. Wakefield Weeps.

i, cd that an exception be noted. This | was done.
 l Mrs. Wakefield Weeps. 1 The court ordered that Mrs. Wake l field be presented at the bar. By order of the court the clerk instructed the | sheriff to proclaim silence while the death sentence was being imposed, no person to make a noise under pain or ! impri sonment. The woman, supported by Mrs. Donahue. wept silently. The court, rising, asked her if she had any thing to say why sentence should not be imposed Mrs Wakefield made no reply. for she was sobbing hard and seemed not to hear what was said. Upon receiving no reply, Judge Rurpee read the sentence of death, which was that she should be committed to the care of the sheriff of the county for thirty days, and thereupon taken to Wethersfeld, there to remain until Wednesday. March 4, 1914, on which day before sunrise she shall be hanged ''by the neck until she is dead.
 Mrs Wakefield was led out of the court room. and as she left her crying was heard throughout the room.
 PIew Says Nothing.
 While the silence remained over the room, States Attorney filling address ed the court and asked if James Plew
 
 court was ready, and Plew was led from the prisoners cage to the table where sat his attorney, MT. Thomas. The court, addressing the prisoner, said that he stood there convicted of homicide by his own confession, and the court having examined the wit nesses was unable to find any reason why the guilt should not be adjudged that of first degree. Counsel was asked if he had anything to say. and MT. Thomas said he had not MT. Aning moved for sentence. When Plew was asked by the court if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, he hung his head and apparently mumbled No, sir. Plew wore an old black suit, low collar without tie. He has stone gray hair and mouStache and is fully 20 years older than Mrs. Wakefield
 The court ordered again the procla- nation of silence, and rising pro- nounced the death sentence, which was for the same day as that fixed for Mrs, Wakefield. He was then given a seat in the corner of the room
 Bergeron Sentenced.
 MT filling said that Joseph Bergeron, confessed murderer of Mrs Dousetta was in the courtroom Judge Burpee ordered him brought to the bar The same proceeding followed as with I iCW, lnS CO0I 0d1AAS lAdb II IOunO no reason for a conviction other than first degree Attorney ]. Birney Futile said he had no motion to make at this time. For the third time silence was pro claimed and the death sentence passed upon NBergeron, the date being Feb. 4, 1914
 BeFgeron, who is quite short in stat uFe, was well dressed and took interest in what went on When the court asked him if he had anything to say why sentence should not be imposed he looked intently at the court Then he turned and whispered: "Is he speaking to me?' acting as if he did not under stand what was being said. After sen tence had been given Bergeron and Plew were taken out of the courtroom and the court took a recess.

A NEGLIGIBLE QUANTITY.

The Chicago Tribune Of Saturday
publishes a fac simile of a list Of
names OF South Bend corporations
and managers said 10 have been given
|by some unknown person to Col. Null

for governor in 1905.
The list was written on a letter.
head Of the Oliver hotel and contains
the names Of nine concerns and a
similar number of individual names
the latter written opposite the cor
|porations they represented. The ques-
|tion attached TO the fac simile is
|'Who wrote these names?"
The chirography appears to be that
|of person unsccustomed 10 the fire.
|quent use of pen and some of the
|names are misspelled. The letters are
|stifhy formed and unshaded. Col
|Mulhall says ]. ID. Oliver wrote the
|list. but must be mistaken. We cannot
Imagine J. d. Oliver sitting at a writ .
|ing desk in the oliver hotel preparing
T. list of prospective contributors to
the Watson campaign fund for Col.
|Mulhall. Besides. Mr.. Oliver says he
|did not write IT,
What does it matter, really, who
wrote the list. The names it contains
|are those that would have suggested
politics in South Bend in 1908 or pre-
|vious thereto. With one or two ex-
|ceptions the corporations and individ-
|uais named. or the predecessors of
|the latter. have been those TO whom
tine republican organization has look
ed for years for the larger part Of it's
campaign contributions in South
bend.
Among the first and most interest
ling speculations on the opening of a
campaign in years past has been as
Ito how much such and such a con-
|cern or individual would give. These
good angels OF the republican party
|were always expected 10 give literally
and If for any reason they failed to
do so the party went begging for
money TO run its campaign. The ne
|cessity OF getting money from these
concerns and those connected with
them in order TO make a successful
was common knowledge.
Little importance can. therefore. be
attached TO the question, who wrote
these names?" Any one of a hundred
Tor more men actively associated with
the politics Of the day could have
written them.

WORTHY son OF DISTINGUISHED

here from Denver for interment in
the locality in which he was born,
there was consigned to the grave
young man who but needed few
years longer on this earth 70 make
his mark as a person Of unusual

he grew. and developed steadily. Had
he lived 10 the age Of the average

that his career would have been that

ABSURD CRITICISM.

1t is childish TO say, as some Wash
|ingtOn newspaper correspondents
have. that Secy. Bryan is ignoring
the Mexican situation. that he has not
read the daily dispatches 10 the state
from the Mexican en-
|bassy and that he has never seen the
compilations made by state depart
|ment officials. which show conditions
|in Mexico in their relation to Ameri-
can and other foreign interests.
To believe such statements is TO
believe that Mr. Bryan is not only
|derelict in his duty but utterly devoid
|Of interest in or curiosity concerning
the affairs OF his office. Much criti-
|cised as the secretary Of state is by his
|ener1ies, both within and outside Of
his party. Mr.. Bryan is recognized by
|aH as a man of intelligence. and it is
Incredible that any but a veritable
fool would be guilty of the neglect
with which he is charged in the
WASHINGTON dispatches.

HAUNTED HOUSES

HAUNTED HOUSES.
There's the queerest street in town,
All the houses. old and brown,
Have been vacant years and years,
1 have often guessed the fears,
That forbid men living there.
Round about them all is fair,
Grassy mounds and trees and flowers,
Birds that sing for hours and hours.
And when rains come pouring down,
On these houses old and brown,
All of nature seems TO sing
Some delightful, happy thing,
That inspires the very soul
To rejoice and be made whole.
Little gold flowers, buried low.
Lift their pretty heads and glow,
Blue-bells twinkle, as in glee,
Pansies shyly smile at me.
And / think il is so queer
That these houses, year on year,
Stand so empty, bare and brown,
With their blank eyes on the ground.
There's a queer thought comes to me,
Like a whisper, when Isee
on the street, or anywhere.
Faces that are rightly fair.
Yet some power that's underlined,
Shows to me a vacant mind.
And they stand as bare and brown,
AS those houses. looking down,
With their blank eyes on the ground.
vacant mlnQS, what tragedy.
Eyes that open, never see.
Souls that withcr day by day,
Wither slowly and decay.
And that heritage divine,
That was ever yours and mine,
BY the gift of Him alone,
Battered, thrown away and gone.
Vacant houses everywhere,
Monuments of grim despair.
Stand unlovely bare and brown,
Blank eyes ever looking down.

Oh, bother me not with duty
And hector me not with work.
No possible sum of booty
Could make me do aught but shirk

And business can go to pot

benefited by the arrangement in the

no lockout or strike is to be ordered
until arbitration fails.
The efficiency of the agreement
will depend upon the strength Of the
arrangements for. arbitration. This
is to be left 10 a joint arbitration
board. which will be equipped with
all the power possible in a body that
cannot be endowed with compulsory
authority. Beyond the agreement to
exhaust the services of arbitration be-
fore a lockout or strike is ordered
neither party can be prevented from
disturbing the peaceful relations
sought through the means of settle

trouble it can do so, but it will not
be quite as easy as before.
The agreement is a contract of
which the courts can take cognizance
and compel performance to the ex-
tent of exhausting the resources of
arbitration. Beyond that each side
will be a free agent

HOUSE OF DAVID HEN
LAYS STRANGE EGGS

Special to The News-Times.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, July 21.
Once upon a time a goose laid a
golden egg.
That was a long, long time ago.
And now it has come to pass that
hens of the House of Israelites have
gone the goose one better.
1t has come to pass that each
night as the Sons of the House of
David gather the eggs they find them
all stamped and labeled. The eggs
OF one white Leghorn hen especially
have been noticed. The hen has laid
II eggs during the past few wekes.
All sorts of strange inscriptions and
signs have been found on these eggs.
Besides the strange Inscriptions the
eggs are of enormous size for hen
eggs. Some of them measure six
inches in circumference and eight
inches in length.
On one egg laid by Miss Leghorn
are the figures 1918" and the word
keep" on the side is 20. K. Benja-
min" Another egg displays an odd
Fellow emblem. three links being
easily discernible. On the side are
the words Benjamin Mary" and on
the other "Harbor" and under this
NAB"
on egg No. near the top is the
word woman" and under this Free
man, Abraham" One inscription in
which the order places much stock is
the figure of the sun on one side; on
the other is a coiled serpent. The
Israelites hold that the serpent, mean
ing evil, is fighting goodness or light
On egg No. Il is the inscription
"1915-Not die" and at the bottom
''TareS 1912" On egg No IA is
Peace Return No. Is Eden
Springs" and on No. Is Revelations p"
Name" Gabriel" Under these is
the word Christ"
Colonists have traced the letters on
the rough surface OF the shell with
pencil. When asked il they had
seen the other recent stories OF letters
on an egg, the Israelites said they had
read accounts, but could not under
stasd the phenomena. They believe
in the signs and think the lettering
shows the House Of David is accept
able with the Master.

POLITICAL BREACH OF PROMISE

The third-term mayor OF Cam
bridge, Mass, classic home of historic
Harvard. is Irish, 40. and a bachelor.
Last time he ran he told the women
he wouldn't change his race and
couldn't change his age, but would
sOlmenly agree not to run again be-
fore he had changed his bachelor
hood.
His blarney got him by. but did he
marry? Did Barry marry?
Divil a bit!
So now he's running again and a
lot of indignant women are after his
scalp for political breach of promise.
Thereby showing up another value in
this growing enlistment of women's
interest in public affairs. For with
votes for women political bachelors
will have TO go. In their restraint of
matrimonial trade guilt will be penal
lied and he who would bear the
honOrs will also have TO wear the
chains.
When Penrose of Pennsylvania was
once reproached for not having taken
a wife. he said he was ready to marry
whenever the organization" would
pick out the woman.
Mayor Barry can't escape by that
excuse. for the Woman's Homestead
association. Bostonese home boomers
say they're ready TO help him choose
if he's unable to do the choosing un-
aided.
So we guess. Mr.. Mayor, it's up to
YOU.
