PLEADS GUILTY TO MURDER IN
 FIRST DEGREE

New Haven, July 11-Indioted in a charge of murder in the first degree, for which there is only one penalty that of death-James H. Plew, charged with the murder of William O. Wake
 field, caused a sensation in the crim- inal superior court yesterday afternoon by calmly pleading guilty when the charge was read to him. Not in years has anyone pleaded guilty to this charge in Connecticut, for under the laws of this state the judge has no dis cretion and can show no c1emency to a person adjudged guilty of this crime, but must impose aL sentence of hanging. Judge William H. Williams, who was on the bench when Flew was put to plea, urged him to consider well before taking such a serious step and finally persuaded him to change his plea.
 That he was ready to be hanged and didn't have any friends and that no one cares what happens to him, Plew is reported to have said since his ar- rest and that was his attitude through out the proceedings yesterday. He, went through the trying ordeal with out a flicker of nervousness or 8 sign of fear. Even when urged to change his plea, he senaed reluctant and hope less.
 Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield, Plew's aI- legged accompIice in the murder, also showed little nervousness. As the in dictment of the grand jury was being read, she stood leaning against the clerks desk, with her hand over her face She was not crying, however, although she seemed to appreciate the seriousness of her situation and fear the consequences more than her com panion. Mot guilty was her low re- ply when she was asked to answer to the indictment.
 1F< his plea of guilty Plew stepped up close to the judges desk In low voice he said that he had pleaded guilty because he didn't have any law yer and had no one to stand by him. t'Do you realize that this plea means your death?'' asked Judge Williams. Plew nodded his assent Judge Will Hams then explained to P1ew that if he didn't have a. lawyer, the state would furnish him with one. f'You needn't worry about a. lawyer said Judge Williams, ''the state will see that you have counsel and good coun- sell" At the judges suggestion, Plew agreed to change his plea to mot gull ty.''
 Judge williams then asked Mrs. Wakefield if she had a lawyer, or if she had anyone in mind whom she would like to have defend her. She mentioned the name of a "Mr. Devine,'' Waterbury lawyer, whom she said she would like to have represent her. '.I have no money to pay a lawyer" she said, however Judge Williams said the state would pay for a lawyer. He inquired if MT. Devine had had ex- perience in cases of this kind and Mrs. Wakefield said that she didn't know.
 Without appointing any counsel, Judge Williams continued both cases until today, when he will probably ap- point lawyers to defend them.

resulted enabled these men to eccu- mulate gigantic fortunes, all at the expense of the borrowers, and also, more frequently than not, at the awful cost of those who were unable to bor- row. If the majority of the men who shall hereafter rule over the credit destinies of the country lack in exact knowledge of finance, they will at least be free from the taint of sordid desire. If the charge be true that lack of knowledge of financial affairs will be a weak spot in the arnor of the new controllers of credits, and this all Ieged shortcoming may be rated as an evil then the country's unmistakable verdict is that of two evils it will choose the less.

SAYS GOVERNMENT IS ROBBED
Congressman Barton for Naval Ar
NOR Plate Factory.

Maintaining that investigation into
armor plate expenditures had enabled
the Government to 'know without a
doubt that it is being systematically
robbed by the Steel Trust, Repre-
sentative Barton, Republican, of Ne
braska, pledged support to Secretary
of the Navy Daniels plan to estab-
lish a Government armor place fac
tory.
Speaking on the subject in the
House, Representative Barton re-
view ed the reports of the Govern
ment departments on the alleged
Steel Trust armor plate monopoly
and read letter from Secretary Dan
iels.
81 feel sure, wrote the Secretary,
THAT Congress will not fail to back
up the department in whstever steps
seems best to obtain armor plate at
a fair price. This is too great
Government to sit still and allow
any two or three concerns to fix iden-
tical prices. Unless something is
done, they have the Government at

"THE STRANGE WOMAN. !"
Elsie Ferguson at New Academy Of
Music Baltimore This Week.

At the New Academy of Music,
Baltimore, this week, with two matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday,
Klaw and Erlanger will present Elsie
Ferguson in 1.-The Strange Woman. +"
A wise man once said: Hitch
your wages to 3 star" Managers
these days, on the other hand, are
having great difficulty in finding We
hicles to hitch stars to. When Will
lam Hurlhut, the young American
dramatist, whose earlier work, tThe
Fighting Hope, at once stamped
him as a playwright of exceptional
promise, it took these resourceful
managers but a moment to decide
that there was an ideal play for Miss
Ferguson. In looks, in temperament,
poise and personality she splendidly
realizes the authors conception of
his somewhat complex heroine
''The Strange Woman" is three
act comedy of American life, all its
scenes being laid in a small town in
Iowa, the time being the pese Mt.
Inez de Pierrefond is young woman
of rather advanced ideas on such
important questions as marriage and
her unconventional theories prove
startling, to say the least, when she
makes her advent in the middle west
ern town. Miss Ferguson's mana
gers have spared no pains or expense
in mounting the play, and have sur
rounded the star with a company of
uncommon excellence. The produc-
tion has been staged under the direc-
tion of the author. Mr. Hurlbut's
description of Inez is as follows:
"Her appearance is not only beau
tiful, but brilliant. There is about
her the atmosphere of perfection,
the perfection of what she stands
for the last word of the Continental
woman of intellect, smartness and
te mperament She radiates an exotic
vitality, there is a sensuous allure
ment about her, but tempered by
intellect, and underlying all her ma
ture is felt the steel of her will that
can fuse into a white heat Of pas
sion. She is certain of herself, su-
perior in the pride of her intelli-
gence, yet never because OF that intel.
i igence overbearing or patronizing in
manner or word. Very feminine, a
plant and keen humor, and about
her, always as intangible as an odor,
the magnetism of her charm.

TWO-REEL DRAMA.

'The Sacrifice at the Spillway. "
which the Palace offers tonight, is a
headline feature in two parts. The
drama deals with life on picturesque
old canal and superb photography

beauties of the scenery to be oerlook-

The story concerns Bob, young
man employed by canal company as
loader. who incurs the enmity of the
captain. The captain, who is guilty
of cowardly attack on Bob, loses
his position ana the loader is given
charge of the boat. Curtis, the dis
charged employee, plots revenge and
entering the plane house, overpowers
the keeper and throws lever con-
trolling a cable which damages Bob's
boat on the plane.
Bob manages to creep to the trestle
and is attacked by Curtis. Martha,
the forgotten sweetheart of the rogue,
appears at the foot OF the spillway,
through which the overflow from the
flume dashes in miniature Mia CARA,
and fires shot which sacrifices her
lover, who plunges headlong into the

New York, October 1l-Notwith-
standing the mass Of business dis
posed of on the second day of the Gem
eral Convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, now in session at
the Cathedral of st. John the Divine,
Manhattan. most of the picturesque
happenings of the strenuous day CEN
tire about the women of the church,
be longing to the great missionary
order called the Auxiliary.
The day was be gun for thtm by a
service called corporate communion,
in which every member Of the Auxil-
larry who is also confirmed member
of the church took part Though the
official number of delegates to the
Woman's Auxiliary is less than five
hundred, so keen is the interest of
affairs of the church body rolitic that
there are pr Jbably five thousand
members of the society in town to
attend the convention.
OF this number, thirty-five hum
dred partook of the Sacrament in the
Cathedral--the capacity of the build
ing. The Right Reverend Bishop
Greer, of New York, was the cele-
brant, assisted b. Bishop Arthur Sell
don Lloyd, president Of the board OF
missions, and half score of the visit
ing clergy. A prelude to the service
today was the meeting at the Parish
House Of St. Michael's Church, Nine
teenth and Amsterdam avenue, of the
delegates of the Woman's Auxiliary
from every part CT the United States,
at which the question of the use of
the fund of s275, 600 raised by the
women of the organization was dis
cussed.
The matter was not settled at the
time, but at the mass-meeting held
today at Carnegie Hall it was an
nounced that this money being the
fruit of woman's self denial and
prayer W 'uld be used only for the aid
of women in the mission field, both
at home and abroad and for the work
among women in those fields. At the
communion service today the offering
was so far augmented that three
clergymen found it difficult matter
to bear away the offering, and the
amount could not be announced at the
expected time during the meeting at
Carnegie Hall at the time expected,
so at this writing impromptu address
es are being delivered to fill in the
time before the treasurer g report of
the receipts can be announced.
Three tiers of boxes, two galleries
and an immense floor at this hall were
filled to capacity during the whole
afternoon to hear the missionary Bish-
ops tell of their work and listen to
words of cheer and congratuIation
from Bishop Greer, of New York, and
Most Reverend Daniel Sylvester Tut
tie, of Missouri, the presiding Bishop
OF the church in America Many mis-
sionary hymns werA rendered by the
thousands of feminine voices, led by
stringed instruments and women's
choirs of city churche the effect
being magnificent. When one remem-
bers that every member of the socie-
ty of the simple name is pledged to
offer a prayer at noon each day for
the spread of the Gospel, one can
hardly doubt the effort will bear
holy fruit.
