ana Kittens were her 1flenQS.
Then came VIM. Wakefield, twice
her age. He was kind to her, kinder
than her own family or any one else
had been-until he married her. She
was II then. He was the first man
she had ever kept company with.
Bessie was married in December,
1906. In March her first baby was
born. Wakefield never liked little
George. The boy is lame. They say
his bad hip and bent spine were caus-
ed by kick from his father when he
was a baby.
Two years later a girl, Clara Belle,
was born.
Bessie's life had been given to
those children. When her husband
failed to provide she went ragged to
cIothe them and hungry to feed them.
Wakefield kept the purse strings. He
would bring home a steak and eat it
all himself. He let little Georges
feet freeze for lack Of shoes, when he
had money. He went away for long
periods. They lived in a cellar in
Bristol.
Then came Jas. Plew. He wanted
Bessie, and saw that the way to her
heart was through her children. So
PleW was kind to George and Cora.
He gave them candy and food and
bought them clothes. He played with
them, as their father had never done.
If Bessie knew that Plew had a
penitentiary record and that he had
deserted his wife, she condoned the
offenses. For she was grateful to
him. And Plew-like most of the IA
nous luke" family of criminals and
detectives to which he belongs
power over women.
Plew wanted a housekeeper, when
his paramour left him alone with a
baby. He asked for Bessie And,
with her husbands consent, she went
and kept his house and cared for the

What will be, will be, she says,
as she said so often to the matron at
New Haven. But my little George
and Cora-Who will take care of
them when Pm gomez"
Here, in brief, you have the life
story of this girl. 1t is story of
misery, toll, immortality, if you will,
perhaps even crime-of destiny
wrought out under the pressure of
bad heredity and sordid environment,
but redeemed by pure and over
powering mother love.
And here are the facts, most of
which were NOT submitted to the
jury that found Bessie guilty of muir
dering her husband, VIM. Wakefield,
and which were NOT taken into &C
count by either jury or judge.
Bessie was one of Is children, born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Webster of
MiddlebUry, Conn. Both parents are
illiterate and of low mentality. In
that home there was not merely
grinding poverty; there was lack
of the common decencies of life and
even, it is said, of the common mo-
ralities.
In such a home Bessie lived for IA
years. She had but little schooling.
She helped her mother with the ire
mendous task of caring for that big
family. Always there was washing
and ironing and dishwashing, always
the infinite toll of caring for flock
Of little brothers and sisters. Of the
Is only six are now alive. Some of
the brothers are obviously defective;
Bessie's one sister, aged II, is par
alytic.
Bessie's youth, then, was slavery.
But Bessie was a good girl. She
worked hard, had no pleasures, had
no girl friends, no boy friends. She
never went anywhere. She had no
clothes fit to wear. She was often
hungry, often cold.

Representative Saunders, however, did
show clearly through citations from the
record of debate when this part OF the
act was under consideration that the
trainers OF the act clearly intended the
United States to bear one-half OF the
burden and that those who opposed this
section of the act did so because they so
understood the meaning and did not be-
lieve the United States should bear one
half of the burden Of the debt. Citations
from Mr.. Saunders remarks In another
column clearly establish this and refute
the contention of Representative johnson
and Chairman Roddenbery that the
trainers of the act intended that the
United States should stand only as
guarantor. and should bear no actual or
ultimate part of the burden.
This proof naturally was ignored by
Chairman Roddenbery in framing his
ruling. inasmuch as the decision was
written before these citations were Of

.|NTERESTSAT WAR
ABOUT CONTRACTS
First Important Decision of
New Attorney General to
Change Supply Methods.

A vigorous fight by all of the interests
that have warred continuously over the
question of the manner of letting con-
tracts for the Government supplies is
impending.
The fight was precipitated by one of
the first important actions taken by
Attorney General McReynolds, in an
opinion given to the new Secretary of
the Treasury. In which he reverses the
ruling Of Attorney General wickersham
with respect to the manner of purchase
of Government supplies.
Attorney General McReynolds holds
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
not the absolute right to contract for
all supplies for all the executive
branches of the Government This de-
cision, 1t is expected. will throw the ex-
isting system into the air.
Congress three years ago created a
general supply committee. to act under
the Secretary Of the Treasury. TIL COM
mittee was organized, and through this
committee the Secretary of the Treasury
contracted for all supplies. Bidders pro-
tested against awards, and many Gov
ernment officers sought to buy outside
Of the committees awards in vain.
Under the new decision, a readjust-
ment will be necessary, it is said. Just
what effect the decision will have on
standing contracts. signed by Secretary
MacVeagh. has not been determined.

Dairymen Must Obtain
Health Board Permits

Dairymen who ship to Washington
from neighboring States milk and cream
which Is made into butter must obtain
permits from the Health Department.
according to an opinion Of Corporation
Counsel Thomas made public yesterday.
The ruling was asked for by Health
Onicer w. c. Woodward. who reported
to the Commissioners that one frm in
the District is in daily receipt of 500 to
$40 gallons OF cream from producers in
adjoining States. few Of whom have ap-
plled for permits to send their products
into this Jurisdiction.
The cream is manufactured into but

Of the Corporation Counsel is that the
manufacture Of the cream into butter
does not absolve the shippers from
compliance with the regulations govern
ing the shipment OF milk and cream
into the District. The Health OffIcer
was directed by the Commissioners to-
day to enforce the regulations as con-
strued by the Corporation Counsel.
