Of the committee were. He also said
that he did not know what procedure
would be adopted to nominate a ticket

Arizona, who has a resolution before
the senate calling for an investigation
of Glass A armor plate contracts that
were awarded the Armor Plate trust
for the new battleship, Pennsylvania.
My investigation of this matter
has convinced me that a
most deplorable state of affairs exists
with regard to the purchase of armor
plate during the last administration $
the senator said. In the case of the
battleship Pennsylvania approximately
eight thousand tons of Class A armor
plate was let to the trust at $454 pei

to testify that a good profit could be
made on such plate at 1854 per ton
The difference in the prices netted the
trust Sl,oUO,UOu.

PROSECUTOR IN A

(National News Association

MUNCIE, Ind, May 19.-Prepared
to spend the entire day in court, WON
en- with lunches in dinner buckets and
shoe boxes, literally fought for seats
today to hear the closing arguments
in the trial of Doris Underwood. the
Hartford CITY school teacher, for
shooting Otis Fisher. the Muncie drug
clerk. Fisher was pale and nervous
evidently anticipating repetition OF
former outbreaks on the part of the
spectators.
The judge cautioned the audience
against violent demonstration. The
counsel for the defense referred to
Fisher as serpent, and made a pa
thetic appeal that Doris be permitted
to return to her home to care for her
baby sister and pursue her policy OF
protecting the virtue of her sex.
| Harry w. Long made the closing ar
gument for Miss Underwood, and ]
Frank Mann was to close for the state
this afternoon. The case probably will
go to the jury tonight.
The peculiar situation in which Pros
ecutor Mann finds himself is matter
of much comment. After virtually de

Another Deal for fremont
Block, Eighth and Main
Streets, Proposed But Has
Not Been Accepted.
HEIRS IN
FAVOR OF LEASING
Dayton Party Makes Accept
able Proposal Including
Agreement to Erect New
Building on Site.

A group of Richmond business men
whose names have not been made pub
lie. have have made an offer OF $780,
mont block, corner Eighth and Main
streets. This offer places a valuation
of $1,000 a front foot on the property.
and is probably the highest price ever
offered for any Richmond real estate.
IL is understood, however. that the
Vaughan heirs are not inclined TO ac-
cept the proposition.
The heirs, il is said. favor a proposal
made by a Dayton business man to
lease the property for ninety-nine years
at a rental of $4,000 per year. This
latter proposal was made prior to the
Dayton food, and ii is not known
whether the Dayton man is now in
clined to put through the deal. but in
the event he is. it is probable that
his proposition will be accepted by
the Vaughan heirs.
Under the terms of the lease which
the Dayton man submitted for con-
sideration several weeks ago, il is
state. he agreed to tear down the struc-
ture. which is one of the oldest build
ings in the city. and erect a business
block which would cost s166.000.
The Dayton man negotiating for the
fremont property. IL was reported to-
day, was in the city several days ago
with Cincinnati parties. and that gave
rise to the report that he was still con-
sidering the plan of leasing the prop
erty.
There is now considerable activity
in Main street business property. Last
week Henry Goldfinger purchased the
building occupied by his store the
Palais Royal. from II. V. McLeland for
consideration reported to be in ex
cess of $50. 1000. and it was reported to
day that another big deal for Main
street property would probably be
closed within a short time.

were placed on trial here today on a

Anna NJ. Burr, are charged by immi-
grafton inspectors with bringing an
alien into this country. Behind the

Mrs. Burr was arraigned before u. S.
Commissioner Hurd, pleaded not gull

Mrs. Sterling was too i'll to appear
and will be arraigned later.
| 1t was only few months ago that
Mercy hospital was closed by the

of a wholesale traffic in babies. Mrs
Sterling admitted at the time that
she had switched babies from the
natural to the foster parents for pur.
poses of fraud.
Girl Tells Story.
! The arrest of the Mercy hospital
operators was ordered after Pauline
/ Benthone, a 26 year old Scotch girl
had told immigration Inspectors Fricb

to Detroit a year ago by Mrs. Sterling
and her daughter for care at the ma
ternity hospital
She told them she gave birth to a
son a few days after her arrival and
| that the child was taken from her
| Months of fruitless search have beer
spent by the young woman to locate

to talk to the inspectors when she

alien yesterday.

HAPPY JACK MEETS
DEATH WITH SMILE
Notorious New York Gang
ster Was Electrocuted at
Sing Sing Today.
(National News Association)


OSSINING, May 19.-Wearing the
smile that had won for him the nick
name of Happy jack" John Null
raney of New York, was electrocuted
today in Sing Sing prison Tor the mur-
der of Patrick Breen, also known as
Paddy the Priest" New York sa-
loon keeper, ON October 8, 1911. -
Mulraney was one of the coolest
condemned men ever put to death in
soundly all night and did not exhibit
trace of fear when aroused an hour
before his electrocution.
Ordinarily condemned prisoners on
the morning of their death are wrecks
from fear But not Mulraney. He
called for a big breakfast and slowly
ate it as though he enjoyed every
mouthful
After breakfast Mulraney arose
from the table with sigh of satisfac-
ton.
I'm ready now," he said. Then
grasping the arm of the prison chap
lain with a firm grip he entered the
death chamber, Mulraney was fatal
ist and up to the moment that the
electrodes were buckled on him he ex
pected something to happen" to save
him.
Mulraney's sentence called for his
execution March 1S but his lawyer
Joseph O'Shay secured a stay in hope
of securing new trial for his client
Mulraney's defense was that at the
time Breen was killed he (Mulraney)
was lying in a helpless state of drunk
enness far from the scene of the mur
der.
