BY law"
'Loponio. standing perfectly still
and not betraying the slightest sign
of nervousness, looked straight at the
judge as Interpreter Federico repeated
the words to him. Federico was far
more nervous than the man receiv-
ing the death sentence Loponio, in
matter of-fact tone, not even

Loponio during the three minutes the
imposition of sentence lasted.
Judge Martin then slowly and inn
pressively pronounced the words pro-
.vided by law in sentencing prisoner
to death. naming the week beginning
Sunday, April 6, as the time when
Loponio must be put to death, and
concluding with "and may God have
mercy on your soul"
Interpreter Federico rapidly gave
the words of the judge in the Italian

is not necessary to wait so long to
die" and then turned toward the
keepers who had him in custody and
started of his own volition back to
the prison pen.
Irving w Teeple. counsel for Lo-
ponio had previously announced that
he would apply for new trial by
Filing an application in the secretary
Fof states office, after he has asked
for a writ of grace from one of the
e-chancellors. He had also made
"a motion that the State cause the
Testimony taken in the trial to be
printed and copies furnished the pris
oner for use in his appeal to the
higher courts.
The law provides that this can be
done in the case of prisoners convict
ed of first degree murder, and was
done in the case of the last man
sentenced to death in this county,
Allison NJ. MacFarland-who gained
"a new trial and was found not guilty
of the murder of his wife by admin
istering cyanide of potassium poison
ing.
Judge Martin in granting the mo-
stion said he believed the case should
go to the higher courts for consider
alton, as the question involved in the
admission as testimony of the letter
dictated by Loponio in the county
fail to Charles w. Rochefort, fellow
prisoner, and in which he confessed
the crime, was of sufficient impor-
tance to call for a ruling by the
upper courts.
The admission Of this letter which
Loponio had supposed was to go to
a lawyer. who was to be retained to
defend him, but which instead was
turned over to the prosecutors ONCE
BY Rochefort, was bitterly but UNI
successfully opposed by Mr.. Teeple
at the time Of the trial.

voters of New Jersey. We believe
that no demand for the submission
of an amendment more general than
this has ever been voiced in New
Jersey. We have not made this legis-
lative campaign of ours upon the
merits of equal suffrage at all, We
have made it solely and entirely
upon the right of the voters to de-
eide the question, and our right to
take that question to them for de-
cisicn.
"Since New Years the Legislatures
of four States have voted to submit
the question to their voters, Mon
tana, South Dakota, Nevada and the
great State of New York. In Penn
sylvania it has passed the House,
and is now before the Senate. In
Minnesota 1t has passed the House
and is now before the Senate. In
view of these facts, and with women
voting In nine States of the Union,
we do not know why the women of
New Jersey should be forbidden to
take their question to the voters.
1.-The people generally have recog-
nized the fairness of this position.
Within the past few weeks l have
been in every county in the State
except Cape May. Everywhere the
people have been friendly and kind.
the meetings large responsive and
often enthusiastic l have cam
paigned in five States, and l never
found the general public Qore
friendly and responsive in any one
Of them, and that includes two
Western States in which our amend
ment was carried AS I have spent

We're Miss Helene Bergmark. of
Marble, Colo. Mrs ". p. Rulon.
Mrs. W. r Williams of this city; Miss
Virginia Patschke, of Lebanon, Pa.
and Mrs. William White, a resident
of wyoming. who voted for the late
President Mckinley.
This happy fourteen, however, must
not be taken as the whole strength of
General Joness army Mrs. Olive
Schultz, the official scout. who drives
ahead in her little automobile, must
not be forgotten. She's a real, in
tegral part of the party SO is Mrs
Marie Elizabeth Baird, who has been
riding with Mrs. Schultz since she
literally fell by the wayside in an at
tempt to negotiate the distance be-
tween New Brunswick and Princeton.
Then, of course, there's Miss Eliza
beth Freeman, who, although She S
been Jailed for her stunts with the
militant suffragettes in England,
doesn't walk, but rides in a little
gypsy wagon spreading oratory and
literature over the countryside as she
progresses.
Alphonse Major, the volunteer bag
gage express driver and Ed Van
Wvck, the courier, wouldn't care II
he march were to San Francisco
across the great desert instead of
merely to Washington-they ride in
an automobile. The war correspond
onts are almost similarly situated
Having no foolish pride about MAX
ing the entire journey on foot, they
can hop a train whenever the going
becomes too rough.
The mixers are just a little worried
- the prospect of passing through
the town of Darby, a little hamlet
light In their path. There is an cpl
demic of measles there. But at that
the army would as lief as not pass
through leper settlement. Every
sather's daughter of 'em can't be-
lleve that there's any worse afflictior
than swollen, blistered feet and stiff
tired limbs. and a visitation of the
plague wouldn't be looked upon with
any fearful apprehension by them.
A special medal of honor ought t.
be handed to Miss Minerva Crowell
of Brooklyn and Smith College. Mis-
Crowel is limping along with enor
NOUS blisters on the soles of her feet
Worse than that, although she an
nounced on the first day Of the hik
that she was setting out with the in
tention of losing twenty pounds, he
weight has been steadily increasing.

The suffra gists have challenged

a recent declaration of the congress-

duties and that voting should be left
to the men. He severely criticized the
suffragists and their attitudes.

pIete Stopping of Dispatches.
Fierce Fighting Reported.
CONTINUED from First Page,

public by Secretary Knox today as
follows:
From your excellency's telegram,
peared that your excel1eney was
somewhat misnformed as TO the poll
icy of the United States towards
Mexico. which has been uniform for
two years, as to the naval or other
measures taken, which are measures
of natural precaution The ambas-
sador telegraphed that when You
were good enough 10 show him your
telegram to me he pointed out this
fact.
Your excellencv must, therefore be
aware that the reports which appear
to have reached you that orders have
already been to land forces were in
accurate. The amba ssador, who is
fully informed. is nevertheless again
instructed to afford you any desirable
information. Fresh assurances of
friendship to Mexico are unnecessary
after two years of proof of patience
and goodwill.
MUST Protect Americans.
Tn view OF the special friendship
and relations between the two coun-
tries, / cannot too strongly impress
upon your excelleney the vital inn
portance of the early establishment
of that real peace and order which
this government has so long hoped to
see, both because American citizens
and their property must be protected
and respected, and also because this
nation sympathiZes deeply with the
Affiliations of the Mexican people.
In reciprocating the anxiety shown
by your excellency's message, | feel II
my duty to add sincerely and without
reserve that the course of events dur
ing the past two years eliminating in
the present most dangerous situation
creates in this country extreme pessi-
mism and the conviction that the
present paramount duty is the prompt
relief of the situation.

The Nebraska, another fifteen thou

a layout that any officer might be
proud to take the field with.
Many are here because they are
not garrison soldiers They are fight
ing men. The inonotony of life at a
post was too much for them. Many
have had baptismal fire in Cuba,
China and the PHILIPPINES. What we
want is a chance to serve in action
and then retire to civil life with a
good discharge instead of a bobtail."
