Mrs. Wakefield's Lover Hanged

Hartford, Conn.,, March 4.-James
Plew, companion of Bessie Wakefield
"the woman who never had chance"
convicted with her of numbering her
husband, William Wakefield, last June
today was hanged in the death yard
at Weathersfield state prison. Plew
and Mrs. Wakwefield were both SEN
fenced on November 5 to die on the
gallows, following Plew's admission
that he planned the murder and aided
the woman, who is but "a, carrying it
out. Judge L. F. Burpee passed SEN
tence.
immediately the woman was SEN
fenced to be hanged statewide fight
was be~un to save her from the gal
lows. The fight soon became nation
wide, but Governor Baldwin declared
he could not commute the sentence to
life Imprisonment. 1t was argued that
Connecticut has not taken the life of
a woman by hanging for more than
100 years; that Plew exerted an al
almost supernatural influence over the
woman, who had been maltreated by
her husband both before and after
their marriage. She has two children
living, boy six years old and a girl
of four. Shortly after the court or
dered both Plew and Mrs. Wakefield
to be hanged on March 4, the woman's
lawyer secured a reprieve for her
until the court meets later this month
to receive the complete printed records
of the case.

Cleveland, March 4.--The futility
Of mechanical punishment as a remedy
or prevention for crime is today re-
sponsible for the establishment here
of municipal criminal research bu-
reau, the first of it's kind in the United
States. Crime and criminals are be-
ing studied scientifically by a commits
sion of seven experts under the super
vision of the director of public well
fare.
A psychological clinic is in opera
tion in connection with the criminal
branch of the municipal court system.
The commission composed of alienists,
psychologists, physicians and jurists
has charge of the clinic. Before Jail
sentences are imposed on offenders,
the prisoners are taken before the
clinis and subjected to an examination.
The plan was initiated by Municipal
Judges Manuel Levine and George P.
Baer whose long and daily expert
ences in courtrooms have led them to
conclude that present laws deal only
with the effect of crime. "Science
deals with causes and effects of crime"
said Judge Levine. "Hitherto law has
ignored the causes. 1t has only been
1ealing with the effects. The law has
stood still in its attitude toward
crime. Every other profession has
advanced. The physician has discov-
ire dthat certain hereditary influences,
diseases and physical conditions influ-
,9nce men TO crime. The psychologist
has analyzed the minds of the Grim.
nal and has learned lessons which the
law ha signored. The alienist has
old us crime and abnormal mentality
IRE closely associated. Hence our eff
'ort to remedy both the cause and the
fleet"

Baby Department" Celebrates

Washington, March 4.-The "baby''
department-the department of labor
celebrated its first anniversary to-
day. One year ago William 3. Wilson
became its first head. For a good
many long months Wilson worked
away without any salary, no offices
and no clerks-nothing but his title
since congress, while creating the new
department, had overlooked the little
matter of appropriating money for its
operation. However, Wilson got back
pay later.
The anniversary will be celebrated
at banquet of all labor department
employees tonight. Terence V. Pow
derly, chief of the bureau of informa-
tions, will be POSTMASTER and Secre-
tary Wilson will make the principal

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, March 4.-The fight fans
here have risen up in protest against
the new practice of boxers performing
two and, three times a week because
eventually it forces the scrappers to do
lot of stalling.
Battling Levinsky, white hope and
war horse, started the fashion here
some months ago when he mingled
in about three bouts each and every
week. For while the public huz-
zahed loudly at the gameness of the
battler. Other fighters, seeing it was
fine little publicity stunt-and Incl
denally money getter, followed suit.
For while the pace did not affect
Levinsky, and he went along at a whirl
wind clip. But there's limit to even
the greatest endurance powers, and
le continuous performance has begun
70 tell on Levinsky. He has been
forced to slow up, and in most of his
recent bouts he has beenl inclined to
"stall" and thereby save his strength
for the next battle. The same is true
Of the other ring warriors. The re-
suit is that most of the recent bouts
"stalling" matches-and the public has
called halt.
Here's the hope that no ailment,
organic or otherwise, afflicts the oft
afflicted Mr.. Richie, or the equally
oft afflicted Mr.. Wolgast, before next
week, at which time, unless one or the
other is afflicted, they will stage n
bout
The scrap ought to be dandy
that is, if neither principal has an
ailment Both men are top notchers
in their class, and most of the fight
fans long have felt that Wolgast de-
served a chance to try to win back
his title.
Ad rightly is called the michigan
Bear Cat" He's real scrapper. And
so is Ritchie. Both men are natural
mixers, and it's a cinch if they get
together again the battle will be worth
the price of admission-and little
more besides.
All signs point to the battle being
staged on schedule time, but when
those two little stallers are concerned
one never can be sure about it. Both
have a funny little habit of contract
ing some sort Of ailment right on the
eve of a battle and then calling the
battle off.
Wolgast, as many will remember,
decided on the eve of one of the
battles he was to participate in while
he was champion, that he had an ap-
pendix that ought to be pruned. So
the appendix was pruned Richie
was billed to fight Tommy Murphy a
few months back and the night before
the battle he found there was some

School Opens for Police

Paris, March 4.-Prefect of Police
Iennion today opened his much her
lded school for Paris policemen. The
'asic principle of all courses will be

owing explicitly the rigid rules sci
1own in the Paris police manual. All

thing wrong with his sniffer. And so
he called off the bout A short time
later he was rematched with Murphy,
and once again, on the eve of the
scheduled bout, Richie found he had
an ailment that necessitated the call
ing off the bout.
The public just now is demanding a
meeting between Battling Levinsky
and Gunboat Smith, the acknowledged
leaders in the "white hope" line. Le-
whisky is quite willing to meet Smith,
but the Gunboat person seems to be
coy about swapping punches with the
ferocious Hebrew.
Smith seems to take the attitude of
"when Levinsky gets reputation I'll
meet him." But, from any angle you
view it, Levinsky's reputation right
now seems to be equal, even superior
to Smiths. The battler lately has
been putting to sleep a large number
of white hopes that were many pounds
heavier than he-and doing it with
ease. Smith in the meantime has been
resting on his laurels.
"Smith is afraid to meet Levinsky,"
remarks Dan Morgan, manager of Le-
Whisky. Gle knows if they ever meet
Levinsky will put him to sleep in d
hurry"
How about it, Mister Gunboat?
