committed, There were but few wit.
nesses at the execution.
The crime for which Javellana paid
the penalty yesterday was particu.
larry ntrocious one. In July of last
year he had been living with Filipino
woman named Antonio Pastora. Find

man he deserted her and their small
infant, According to the evidence sent
to the attorney general by Judge @. II.
Parsons, Of Hilo, who tried the case,
JayellanA went to the room in which
the woman was living at Paauilo;
climbed through window and attacked
her with a cane knife. The woman ran
screaming from the premises. Jayel-
lana caught her and literally hacked her
to pieces. She cfawled under a house
and died there a few hours later.
In his evidence before the court ia.
yellana stated that had he known that
the woman was not dead he would have
crawled under the house and killed her.
Governor Pinkham reviewed all of these
circumstances before signing the death
warrant.

Aged Woman Is
Horribly Burned

Horribly burned about the head
and body. Mrs. Mary Weed, seventy
two years old. of Orchard street, Del
awanna. is in a critical condition at
ST. Mary's Hospital, Passaic. The
aged woman is suffering from burns
caused by her clothing igniting when
she accidentally upset an oil stove
in a bedroom today in the home of
her daughter. with whom she resided.
Before aid reached the woman her
clothing was mass of flames. The
upset heater set fire to the home.
The screams of the burned woman
brought her daughter and neighbor,
Mrs. George Kriciel, to the room,
where they found the woman rolling
on the floor. They wrapped a blan-
ket about her and carried her into an
adjoining room. The Nutley Chemi-
cal engine was summoned and ex-
tinguished a fire which resulted from
the upsetting of the oil stove. Dam
age to the extent of about 800 was
caused to the house.
DIR. Alfred jackson was summoned
and on his directions Mrs. Weed was
removed to the Passaic hospital
Little hope is entertained for her re-
covery.
In an adjoining room to that in
which Mrs. Weed was burned was
Mrs, Ida Conklin. an invalid. Fears
for her safety were entertained by
Mrs. Roman when the house set IRE.

tional League in 1910, and since then
his name has frequently been linked
with various baseball enterprises,
ported on good authority quite re-
Gently, that Powers was making eff
forts to form another baseball league
which would be rival for the Fed
eral League. The theory is advanced
that this movement may have added
strength to the efforts of the Federal
Leaguers to enlist his services.
Representatives of the Federal
League have had several secret con-
ferences with Powers during the past
week. The figures in the contract Of
fered him apparently have satisfied
Powers, but the term of service was
not as appealing to the former East
ern Lacquer. His experience in base
ball has taught him that a president
can do very little in one year, and
he figured that he was entitled to a
contract covering several seasons.
James A Gilmore, who has filled
the position of president of the Fed
eral League, is popular with the
club owners, but he is lacking in ex-
perience. He would probably be re-
tanned by the invading forces but
Powers is regarded as a more val
liable man to the F'ederals at a time
when someone skilled in baseball
lore should map out and execute its
campaigns. TAe Federal League is
rich in legal advice, but civil law
and baseball law are vastly differ
ent and the best legal talent in the
country will find it difficult to
solve some of baseballs knotty prob
lens.
Powers did not attend the meeting
in Chicago, as the Federals ap-
preached him first, and while he is
anxious to become affiliated with the
national pastime again, he will not
accept the proposition made by the
outlaws unless a long term contract
is granted. Powers is in his home in
Jersey City today awaiting the de-
cision of the Federal Leaguers. Strict
secrecy has been maintained concern
ing the proposed move. and it was ev-
identity planned to give the informa-
tion to the Sunday papers.

P. 7. POWERS FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE
FEDERAL LEAGUE
Expected That Famous Sport
Promoter Will Be Named
Today.

Before the Federal League pro-
moters. in session in Chicago today
adjourn they win probably announce
that Patrick T. Powers, of Jersey
City, well known in local sporting
circles, will be the president of the
invading organization.
The outlaw forces, 1t is claimed,
want the services of a first-class
baseball man, one with some backing
and experience in baseball and one
whose word and judgment would be
worth a big salary to taem. A propo-
sition was made to Powers at his
home in Jersey City, but he asked
for a long term before giving his con-
sent, and it is believed that the re-
quest made by Powers will be
granted during the conclave in
Chicago today.
Powers is well known in the sport
world because of his connections with
the old Eastern League, now the In
ternational, and the six-day bicycle
races which he has promoted at Mad
ison Square Garden. Powers was de-
posed as executive of the Interna-

CORONER HALTS
LANKFORD BURIAL
Demands Strongbox, Saying
Letter Will Prove r. r. Vice.
President Was Suicide.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Efforts by
the coroner to gain further informa-
ton concerning the death of Richard
D. Lankford, vice-president of the
Southern railway, asphyxiated by gas
last Thursday in his Brooklyn home,
delayed the departure today of the
funeral party which accompanied the
body to Princess Ann, Md, where the
body will be inferred tomorrow.
As the pail bearers were leaving
the Lankford home at the close of
the funeral services the coroner in
terferred, ordered the coffin to be set
down. and demanded the production
of a strong box belonging to the rail-
road man, which he had been told
contained papers which would throw
light on the question as to whether
Lankford had committed suicide.
Not until promise had been given
that the box would be turned over to
him would the coroner consent to
the removal of the body from his
Jurisdiction. He was told by friends
of Landlord that II contained letter
to Miss Helen Patterson, of Brooklyn.
to whom Lankford was to have been
married today. and their wedding
ring.
He was further assured that the
letter would not furnish the coroner
the information he desired.
The same clergyman who was TO
have married the railroad man to
Miss Patterson tonight conducted the
funeral services
Miss Patterson was member of
the funeral party.
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern railway. and other officials
of the road were the pali-bearers.

CONF F|RMAT|ON OF
BRANFORD PLACE
AWARDS DELAYED
Final Hearing Adjourned to
Feb. IL to Hear
Objections.

Judge Adams, sitting in the Circuit
Court today fixed February II as the
date for final hearing on the confir-
nation of the amounts awarded by
the assessment commissioners to the
property owners along the line of the
proposed opening and widening of
Branford place. Judge Adams was to
have confirmed the amounts today.
The delay in the hearing is due to the
fact that the property -owners have
engaged counsel to object on various
scores the report of the assessment
commissioners.
City Attorney Herbert NJ. Boggs, at
the opening of the hearing which had
been set for today, said: "Your hon
or, l understand that there are one
or two objectors in this matter, but
so there will be no delay l move that
the part of the report which is not
objected to be confirmed"
Former Governor John Franklin
Fort, representing the George A. Hal
sey estate, objected to this and asked
the court to lay over the report for
reasonable length of time so as to
give counsel time to file objections.
Judge Adams ruled that all objec-
tions would have to be filed with the
Wlllilll tCH eiid thde oit
February 18th the objections would
be considered in open court. County
Attorney Alfred N. Dalrymple is as
sociated with Mr.. Fort in handling
the affairs of the George A. Halsey
estate in the matter. The part of the
George A. Halsey estate that is named
as being necessary to purchase for
the opening of Branford place is To-
Gated at 80 to SO Springfield avenue.
and the damage amount is placed at
$163, 900 by the assessment commits
sioners.
Mr.. Fort stated that he had one or
two objections to present before the
court but had not had time to pre-
pare them in the proper way. Mr..
Fort intimated that his objections
might effect the entire project of the
proposed opening. He would not say
at the present time what they were
however.
Fred Prout, of 142 Market street,
representing the Peddie estate on
v hich the amount of $202, 900 was fixed
as the damage award also objected
to the report of the commissioners
Mr.. Prout stated to an Evening Star
reporter that discrimination had been
shown in the rating of the value of
the different properties. He claimed
that the property of the Peddie estate
was worth over half a million dol
lars, and that the rating by the COM
missioners was too low. He also
