his youngest daughter, Miss Eleanor.
play the star role in a pastoral masque
symbolixing the protest Of the natural
LIST against the slaughter Of birds for
millinery purposes.
With dramatic skill which surpris-
ed her closest friends. as it was her
first attempt, Miss Wilson voiced in
soft and appealing tones the spirit Of
the bird lover exhorting the hunter to
forsake his rife.
The sharp crack of a gun followed
by the sudden fall Of "Ornis, the bird
spirit" Miss Wilson's role, marked the
climax of the piece. Wounded and
sobbing, "Ornis' is consoled by the
fauns, poet, Dryad and naturalist, who
In the end dissaude the repentant
plume hunter and make Of him bird
lover. The Presidents daughter spoke
her lines with careful expression and
was Enthusiastically applauded.
The setting was both unique and
picturesque. Those in the audience,
composed entirely Of the artists, poets,
playwrights and literary folk from
Cornish and the surrounding hills,
were costumed in various colored
gowns and coats and sat on rough
wooden benches fxed on the slope of
hill, at the foot of which was the
stage This was marked by logs, be-
hind which colored footlights threw q
shadowy light on the encircling pines.
Bird whistles and the incidental
strains of an orchestra concealed in
the trees and an occasional dance by
the players, lightened the piece, which
was written by Percy MacKaye.
AS prelude to the performance,
Miss Margaret Wilson, Oldest daugh-
ter of the President, sang The Hermit
Thrush. At the conclusion of the play
Herbert Adams presented on behalf
of the artists and members of the
Meriden Bird Club, to Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, patron Of the performance, a
parchment scroll in dedication of the
Bird Sanctuary, where the play was
given.
Besides the President and Mrs. Will
son, the presidential party consisted
of Miss Jessie Wilson, second daugh-
ter, and her fiance. Francis B. Sayre,
and several house guests.
Mrs. Herbert Adams, wife of the
artist, slipped on rough ground and
broke her left leg and dislocated an.
ankle just before the performance be-
gan She was taken to her home and
cared for by physician.

tween United States soldiers and
Mexican smugglers at Carrie
Springs, Tex, one Mexican was kill

tured. Only one OF the attacking
party was injured and only two cav
airy horses were hurt.
The soldiers came upon the Mexi-
cans shortly after daylight few miles

Grande River, and at once began
firing. An American, who is the re-
puted leader of the Mexicans, but
whose name is unknown, replied to
the order to halt and declared that his
party would never surrender. The
soldiers were then ordered to open
fire, and at the first volley one Next
can was shot dead, two others ap-
parently mortally injured and several
received minor wounds.
The American leader realizing that
the odds were against him, surrender
ed. Besides the leader, Is Mexicans
were captured. All Of the prisoners
were taken to Windmill Ranch and a
surgeon was summoned to treat the
wounded.

ant McLane.
The Mexicans had attempted to
carry large shipment Of ammunition
and rifles across the border from a
point about fifty miles in the interior
Of Texas. They abandoned most OF
this contraband when attacked by the
sheriff's posse few days ago. The
munitions were said to be for Con-
stitutionalists, but the latter announc-
ed they would execute the smugglers

BECOMES AUNT TO HERSELF
Now Young Bride Has Learned That
Her Marriage Was Unlawful in
New York.

New York.-Because American law
does not permit lady to become her
own aunt. little Mrs. Annie Ergas OF
West One Hundred and Fourteenth
street will lose her husband.
Eight months ago, as Miss Annie
Ergas, fifteen, she travelled to the
United States from little village close
to the Dardanelles to join her family.
1t was q case Of love at first sight
when her uncle, her fathers youngest
brother, saw her descend the gang
plank.
The parents smiled and agreed
when he asked her in marriage. The
Ottoman law does not prohibit such an
arrangement, and there is Biblical
sanction for 1t.
Four months ago the couple were
married by an alderman. Ignorant
that they had disobeyed the law here.
they lived happily together until two
weeks ago. At that time the Fedora
ton of Oriental Jews heard OF their
case and explained the situation to
them.
Then they were eager to right the
wrong. At the request of the fedora
tion Monroe M. Goldstein, an attorney
of 140 Nassau street. brought for them
a suit for annulment of the marriage.
This is now pending in the supreme
court.

LIFE Term FOR
MRS. GODBEE
Convicted Of Numbering Di-
vorCed Husbands Wife.
SHOT HIM IN POsToFFlCE
contended In Her Defense That the
Former spouse Had Mistreated
Her Before and After
Divorce.

Millen, Ga.-Mrs. Edna Perkins
Godbee was found guilty Of the murder
of Mrs. Florence Godbee, wife of her
divorced husband Mercy was recon-
mended by the jury.
The verdict was returned after the
jury had been out 10 hours.
Two minutes after the jury returned
its verdict Judge Hammer sentenced
Mrs. Godbee to remain in the peni-
Tertiary the rest of her natural life. :"
She stood while sentence was pro-
nounced Her daughter Sarah broke
down and wept audfbly, but Mrs. God
bee was as calm and stole as she had
been throughout the trial.
Mrs. Florence Boyer Godbee and
her husband, w. s. Godbee, a promi-
ninet resident of this place, we're shot
to death by the convicted woman Au-
gust 10. The killing occurred at the
Millen postofice.
The first Mrs Godbee was in the
postofice when Judge Godbee and his
wife Of a few months came to get
their mail. AS they passed into the
postoffice she took revolver from a
handbag and shot Judge Godbee twice.
He fell mortally wounded The in
furiated woman then turned her re-
volver upon Mrs. Godbee and, firing
three times, fatally wounded her.
Judge Godbee died at once and his
wife two days later.
The case has excited the keenest in
terest throughout the State. Mrs.
Godbee claimed as defense that she
had long been mistreated by her hus-
band before and since his divorce, and
that he applied vile epithet to her as
he entered the postoffice on the fatal
morning. Her excuse for killing the
judges wife was that after she began
shooting she was SO excited she did
not know what she did. The dead
woman was from Williamsport. Pa.
The defense is expected to apply for
new trial at once. and if this is
denied, to appeal the case to the SUI
preme Court.
