EultOr herald.
The writer finds upon looking over
the published report of the city COM
missioners an item of $4,000 covering
the services of a stenographer.
For the information of the tax pay
ing public would like to ask of the
Powers in charge, if it is their inten-
ton to allow this item to remain as
a fixed charge on the regular month
ly expenditures of our city govern
ment.
In establishing the present form of
government, one of the benefits that
we were to derive from its use was
the curtailment of expense. Up to
this time this expense has been held
down to a small sum below the cost
of the old aldermanic form, should
the commission allow this to become
a permanent charge, the boundary
line will have been crossed, a new
precedent established which will pos
sibly open the way for further ex-
penditures of like character.
AS the matter now stands the clerk
has this deputy, why should not the
mayor and the water commissioners
as well enjoy the same privilege?
By referring to the records of the
charter commission it brings out the
fact that special committee was ap-
pointed from that body to confer
with the clerk and ascertain just
what his duties consisted of, and al
so as to the amount of time required
to fulfill same
1t was decided by the commission
that this official would have ample
time to personally attend to all of
the duties incumbent upon this of

WILL NOT HANG, BELIEF

Bessie Wakefield will not hang.
When the women of an entire state

man being, mercy must be shown"
The women of Connecticut are max
ing determined fight to save the life
of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield and this
was the confident assertion today of
Mrs. Sarah Devlin, one of the lead
ers in the fight. The state board
of pardons will meet December 8 and
petitions signed by thousands will be
presented asking that sentence be
commuted to life imprisonment. Mrs.
Devlin told the United Press today of
her efforts to arouse public sentiment
that the state might not strangle to
death young mother of two children
who was wronged when only child
and then dragged into the shadow of
the gallows when only "a years old"
Mrs. Devlin is president of the
Fairhaven branch of the New Haven
Political Equality club, but in this
fight she is acting as the mother of
ID children, working in behalf of an
other mother.
In the state penitentiary Bessie
Wakefield is awaiting her death, set
for next March. In the same prison
is James Plew, the murderer of the
woman's husband. He also is to be
hanged. In little house near Wood
bury, are the father and mother of
Bessie Wakefield and with them are
the two children Of the condemned
woman. The girl Is four, the boy six.

son and premises will not make him

to the unclean. Then if they become
clean and stay clean, it is because
cleanliness is their nature.
'The town is mirror. 1t reflects
the people. A man who is clean in
mind will be clean in person. He will
have clean front yard and a clean
back yard. A Uttered door yard and
dilapidated house reflects a litter

"The reason we cannot make silk

is a sow's ear. 1t is not silk. A nat
urally dirty man can not be made a

as long as the dirty people exist. We
must start our future citizens right
by giving more time to instructing
young school children evil results of
the crime of dirt"

CHINA MAY ESTABLISH
A NAVAL COLLEGE i

SHANGHAI, Nov. 21.-m prepar-
alton for the arrival of Captain Har-
old Christian, of the British navy
who has been loaned to China for a
period of three years, Chinese gov
ernment experts today are looking
over Nimrod Sound near here in
search of site for a new naval col
lege. The government has naval
training schools at Tientsin, Marking
and Canton, established under the
monarchy, but the proposed college
will be much more comprehensive and
modern. The minister of the navy
hopes to develop it, with Captain
Christians aid, into a national insti-
tuition. The training schools at
Marking, Canton and Tientsin will
not be discontinued for the present
and they may be retained perman-
entity as feeders to the proposed col
lege. Correlative with the naval col
lege and the training school courses,
will be actual service at sea. A num-
ber of up to date training ships for
this purpose will be added from time
to time to these now in use.

"This poor, ignorant girl has per-

the act of man."
When Bessie Webster was ID years
old she obtained employment nursing
children. Someone wronged her. She
knew Wakefield then and neighbors
declare her parents insisted that she
marry him. Wakefield was 80 years
her senior and abused her. Their
children were without shoes and
stockings and their clothing was in
