EARNEST FIGHT
FOR Her FREEDOM.
Is Being Made in Behalf Of
Mrs. Wakefield by the
Women Of New
Haven.
THE WOMEN ARE ACTIVE
In Circulating Petitions and other
Movements Being Made
In Behalf Of the
Accused.
THE WOMEN ARE ACTIVE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 26.-The
investigation into the case of Mrs
Bessie Wakefield now under sentence
OF death on the charge of having been
implicated in the murder of her hus-
band by James Plew had reached such
a stage today that the women of Con-
necticut working in the young woman's
behalf, saw their chances of saving
Mrs. Wakefield instead of the one to
ward which their efforts have been di.
rected.
1t was first thought that the woman
who never had a chance" might,
through her ignorance and lack of
self-will, have been lead to have part
In the planning Of the murder by
Plew. There is now the greatest
doubt however, as to whether she had
any knowledge of Plew's intentions the
night Of the killing. Mrs. Wakefield
has declared In an interview that 1t
was not until after the murdsr that
Plew took her into his confidence.
Thomas F. Devine, attorney for Mrs
Wakefield has all but completed the
appeal which he will submit to the us
preme court of errors requesting a
new trial. Deyine will cite twenty rea-
sons why the condemned woman
should be given another hearing, and
SO confident are thoes working in her
behalf that the appeal will be granted.
the case may not be taken before the
board OF pardons In December.
It IS the women Of the state who
have been back of the movement to ap-
peal to the board of pardons imme-
diately and with the increasing conf
dence that new trial may be granted,
the movement looking toward a ON
mutation of the sentence may be held
in allegiance
The work Of circulating petitions
will be kept up, however and no stone
will be left unturned to save the unfor.
tunate woman.
Should the motion for a new trial
be denied the appeal to the board of
pardons will then be made.
Governor Baldwin has the power to
call special meeting of the board at
any time and the women are confident
the public sentiment would compel the
executive to hear their appeal without
delay. Instead of single appeal to
the board of pardons for mercy, the
women of the state now see their
three chances Of saving Mrs. Wake
field--a new trial, the board of par
dons and in executive clemency. There
is ..e greatest confidence that either
the newy trial or the appeal to the
pardon board will bring results. but
should the sentence against Mrs.
Wakefield still stand after the appeals
have been made the women are conf.
dent the sentiment that has been
arousd will lead Governor Baldwin to
exercise his power toward saving the
condemned woman.

SCHENECTADY, Nov os.-Two
thousand strikers of the General EIec-
tric Company were crowded about tho
gates OF the company's plant early to-
day and workers who sought to re-
turn to their benches were turned
back by the strikers and pickets.
Several hundred women and nirls
were the most active. Their pickets
were led by Miss Jennie Tredeau.
About $1,000 employees Of the cleo
trictl company are out and at least
1,5co turned back by pIckets. About
1000 got inside and were ready to
work but the shops were closed and
no attempt made to operate. Tho
pickets did not attempt to stop mem
bers Of the office force.
When General Manager Emmons
was asked today IL he would refuse to
take back the strikers, he said he
would take no technical advantage
of the men," but went no further The
strike has yet to be sanctioned by the
American Federation OF Labor The
shops are only partly unionized, but
the leaders declare the non-union
workers are joining the organization.
The crowd about the plant early to,
day was composed mostly of the
younger employees and women and
| girls. Some OF the elder men want.
ed to return to work. Those who did
get into the shops rushed through
the gates or climbed the high fencs
about the plant
John .. Cole, socialist commissions
er of public safety. was in charge of
the police about the plant today. A
sergeant and three patrolmen were
posted at each gate. AS the workers
arrived and saw that the pickets
would prevent them from entering
the plant, they soon returned to their
homes BY o'clock practically all
of the crowd had dispersed and only
the pickets remained about the plant
The various unions held meetings
today. Mayor Lunn and President
James F. Hooker sent word they were
ready to give any assistance toward

CAMP WALTON PLEASANT
PLACE FOR THE TOURIST

Editor Pensacola Journal
While spending the winter in Pen
sacola, courting the balmy breezes of
the southland, I was persuaded to take
a trip to Camp Walton, "On The
Sound, forty miles east of Pensaco
The trip by boat is q, very pleasant
ride. After passing several little set
Elements. each with its wharf where
the passing steamers stop to take or
deliver passengers or freight. We ar
rived at Camp Walton a little after
noon. I found the people a very
friendly sociable people, and a people
that enjoy their homes, as well as
their friends,
After spending five days there, re-
turned to the city and soon, more fully
than before, appreciated the quiet and
rest OF A little. town by the sea, where
enc may sit on his own gallery and
see all kinds of small water craft pass
by within hailing distance.
So determined to try the trip again,
and was pleased at the greetings I
received as I stepped onto the landing
Of e. S. Buck, who is the postmaster
and proprietor of the only general store
in town.
The foundation is going in for an
other store and 1t will rot be long be-
fore ye housewife can choose the place
ar which to do your trading.
Most Of the inhabitants are northern
people, and this week another one has
cast his lot with the Waltonites.
F. T. Bryer, from Saratoga, New
York, has bought lot, fronting on the
sound and will proceed at once to
build thereon.
w. H. Alkire, from Ohio. and Mr..
Hall of Chicago, are staying at the
Brooks House, Allie Ryera, the king
fisher and duck hunter Of Pensacola,
is at the Indianola>1nn. He is a true
sportsman, an expert with the rod
and line. Last Tuesday we have it
on good authority, he caught twenty
five trout in twenty minutes. AS proof
that Ryera is without a peer when
making long casts with rod and line,
we have 1T on the same good authority,
that the next day but one. when the
fish spurned his lure, a deer came down
into the water to drink. He now saw
the sportsman's opportunity and by one
great cast succeeded in landing the
deer. Now those that are fortunate
enough to eat at the Indianola Inn are
revelling in fish and venison.
Camp Walton sure does look good

Work of a Small
Florida Boy.

Mallory weIeh lives at Apopka in
Orange county. Along with about 80
other boys he qualified last spring in
q corn contest in that county. A few
days ago he was awarded prize Of
500 for growing fifty bushels of corn
On one acre Of ground. The boys aver
aged over thirty-six bushels to the
acre, most Of them following plans of
cultivation laid down by the govern
ment agricultural department.
While fifty bushels is not such an
enormous yield for Florida, It is big
enough 10 make the Florida farmers
rich.
And it should be remembered that
Apopka lies way to the south and is in
not nearly 50 good corn section as
Escambia county or any section of
West Florida.
This contest and its result has bene-
atted Orange county IN several ways
and demonstrates the wisdom and good
policy OF the Boys Corn clubs.
The Pensacola Journal has all along
encouraged these clubs and we again
say their Importance cannot be en-
phasized too strongly.

Romantic
Rourr1ania.

Perhaps the present trouble in the
Balkans will bring the somewhat his
torfc and altogether romantic Rou-
mania more into public view. Very
little has in fact been known by the
general public of this most interesting
little kingdom. We should know still
less than we do of this Balkan state,
which has so far kept out Of the Balkan
war. were it not for Carmen Silva,
the poet queen of the country. She Is
the author Of number of beautiful
fairy stories, which have been evolved
from the folk lore Of the people.
It is said that the bagpipe and the
shepherds flute are the musical in
struments of the Roumanian people
and that the peasant will have moth
ing to do with the fiddle which he
despises because it is the instrument Of
the gypsies.
1t Is said the roads swarm with
beggars, whose requests are seldom re-
fused, for the Roumanian has faith that
aims will be returned to him a hun
dredfold hereafter.
Altogether this is most interesting
country, and whatever may be the out
come of the Balkan war, is one that
viii probably be more progressive in
the future.

The Value of
Home Speech

No parents who have the means to
buy decent clothes would allow son
or daughter to go out in search of a
position without seeing to it that he
or she is neatly dressed. Appearances
count for much, and clothes and a
clean face are so obvious that they are
usually well attended to.
Manners come next. Maybe they
should come first; but, not to quarrel
about that they generally get some at
tention in the final instructions, if it
is nothing more than Now, your man
ners. Jimmie, and be polite to the gen
tleman'
There still remains one other thing
we are still considering appearances,
not CHARACTERISED that is the speech
of the applicant, the language in which
he states his case and answers ques-
tions. Here 1t is that many a boy or
girl undoes all that neat clothes, clean
hands and an acceptable Difference
have accomplished.
Are your parents living?"
Nope -er-that is, not both of 'em
amt. got a mother, but I amt got
no father
He gets little further. because the
prospective employer does not want a
boy from a home where such Ian
guage is used.
This may be an unjust way to judge
boy. In particular cases it would
be very unjust, for correct speech is
no guarantee of morals or intelligence
or industry. But in the long run it is,
IL not entirely just, practical. In meet
ing a stranger about whom one has
had opportunity to learn little or moth
ing one can hardly avoid judging him
largely by his manner of speech.
1t is in the home, in the ordinary
course of daily life and conversation
that habits of speech are learned and
become fixed.
In many families the trouble is, OF
course. lack Of early advantages Of
the parents themselves. Here the only
remedy is the resolve that the chill
dren shall have those advantages.
But more often the blame must be
laid to carelessness and slipshod ways
of speaking. A little thought. little
attention here will count for much.
