SlOOLAy OSdIu CS1o Ill CnC OhAIOO
States today, awaiting their execu-
ton. Three states are preparing to
make these four women's children
motherless by legal murder!
While sympathetic people moth
ers, preachers, reformers- are petit
tioning that NO woman be put to
death, whatever her offense, the
hangman's moose is being made ready
for two of the murderesses, and the
coils and straps of the electric chair
are gaping for the two others.
Sister" Mary Johnson, who will
be the first woman ever executed in
Florida, is the fourth and latest in the
list.
The other three are Mrs. Bessie.
Wakefield, condemned in Connecti-
cut, and Mrs. Cynthia Buffum and
Mrs. Magdalena Ferola, upon whom
the state of New York has pronounc-
ed the death sentence.
AS emotionless as the walls that
hold her captive, "Sister" Johnson,
mother of several children, waits in
the Calhoun county Jail at Blouns-
town, Fla, for execution.
Twice she has been convicted of
numbering an aged, defenseless man.
Hot words between Monroe Bess,
a son-in-law to isis" Johnson, and
James Wilmington, on the latter's
farm, several years ago, was the be-
ginning of the trouble.
Bess is said to have left the field
and reported his troubles to his
mother-in-law. Sister Johnson then
armed herself and went to the Whit
tington home with Bess, her two
sons, Johnnie and Zeke, and her
daughter, Mary Bess.
Monroe Bess, the prosecution
claims, stepped onto the porch of
the Wilmington home and shot John
Wilmington to death. AS Whiting
ton fell he fired on Zeke Johnson,
who was instantly killed.
1t was then that Sister johnson

THEIR DEATH CELLS

breast of James Wilmington, aged
father of the family, as he started to
rise from his chair.
Bess made his escape and was at
liberty for two years. He was cap
tured in Missouri and, on pleading
guilty to manslaughter, was sentenc-
ed to twenty years in the state
prison.
Sister Johnson faced trial first in
the spring of 1911 and was convicted
of murder, the jury recommending
mercy. Her attorneys won an appeal
for new trial; but when the case
was brought up the second time the
introduction of the dying declaration
of the Woman'S victim convicted her
of murder in the first degree, with
out recommendation for mercy. I'm
der the laws of Florado, this calls
for the extreme penalty of death. .,
Sister Johnson sits in her cell to-
day, sullen and apparently Indifferent
to her fate.
While few persons sympathiZe with
her any more than she seems to with
herself, thousands have lifted their
voices in appeal for the pardon of the
two other murderesses.
Mrs. Magdalena Ferola, now in
Sing Sing, occupying a death cell
which was especially constructed for
her, will be the first woman executed
in New York in fifteen years. Min
listers and women's clubs are pleading
with District Attorney Martin to pre-
vent the killing of Mrs. Ferola, on the
ground that no woman ever again
should be put to death in that state.
Mrs. Ferola has a little daughter
II years old and son % years old.
1t will be the tragedy of the daugh-
ter's life, when she grows old enough
to realize it, that it was she who iden-
titled the butchers knife with which
Mrs. Ferola is said to have killed
Carmello Canestrano, the lover who
Tilted her.

MINNESOTA PRIMARY
LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
Statute Upheld by the State
Supreme Court.

The nonpartisan primary law passed
by the 1913 legislature was upheld in
a decision handed down by the state
supreme court.
The court holds that the law did
not violate the section of the consti-
tuition providing that no law can en-
brace more than one subject. The
court also holds against the conten-
ton of the plaintiffs that the law
contained matter not germane to the
general subject and the contention
that it was special or class legislation.
The law in question provides for
nonpartisan nomination of all candi-
dates for county Offices, judicial posi-
tons and for the legislature, changed
the primary date from September to
June, permits the Bull Moose party
to select it's candidates at the general
primary, provides that where there
are no more candidates before the
primary than the number to be nomi-
mated they shall not go on the pri-
mary ticket, and provides for the elec-
ton Of county surveyors without pri-
mary nominations

News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
LEE PICKED TO MAKE RACE
Anti-Eberhart Republicans Hold Elm
;nation Convention and Unite on
One Candidate.

Receiving 555 votes out of $50 cast
William Il. Lee Of Long Prairie was
selected by the anti-Eberhart con.
ference at Minneapolis to make
the primary fight against the present
governor Before the vote could be
announced delegations began chang.
ing their votes so rapidly that the
nomination was made unanimous. The
thousand men present cheered loudly
and adjourned feeling satisfied with
the results, since apparent harmony
had been secured out of a situation
that promised in advance to end in
fight.
The only fly in the ointment was the
fact that at the end of the proceed
ings, when the other candidates got
up and pledged hearty support to Mr..
Lee, James A. Peterson was not pres
ent. However. Mr. Peterson had pre-
viOusly agreed to support anybody
but 1verson.
The resolutions were presented by
E. T. Young, former attorney general
and a candidate against Eberhart in
the last state primary
The resolutions charge that the Re-
publican party in Minnesota has
abandoned it's time honored princi-
pies and has become an instrument
for the promotion of the sinister pur-
poses of political machine organized
solely for spoils.''
The governor was charged with
neglecting his duties; with failing to
keep informed on matters of state in
terest; with being away from his Of
fee too much: with being dominated
by invisible influences arrayed
against the public welfare; his &C.
tons openly dictated by the machine
and supported by predatory interests"
"His administration has been notori-
ously incompetent, vacillating and ex-
travagant,'' said one paragraph. He
was scored roundly for vetoing the
Nolan and Minnette bills.
The resolutions urge that the pri-
mary law be so amended as to prevent
the nomination of minority candidates.
The constitutional amendment propos-
ing the initiative and referendum was
endorsed and it's adoption urged.
Laws creating free and open mar
ket for farmers were demanded and
home rule in the control of local pub
! lie utilities endorsed.

Commerce Commissions Order A..
fects Minnesota Rates.
Application of the eastman distance
tariff rates on freight moving be-
tween the Twin Cities and Duluth and
Superior (head of the lakes), which
the Minnesota railroads proposed to
put into effect March Is, will not be
permitted by the interstate commerce
commission until after full investiga-
ton. The commission issued an or
der suspending the proposed increases
until July 16.
The commissions action followed ar
gunents before Chairman e. E. Clarke
and other members of the commission
by Senator Moses E. Clapp and Rep,
resentative G. B. Miller. The eastman
rates must be approved by the inter.
state commerce commission, because
all the roads operating between Min.
neapolis and the head of the lakes
run for a short distance in Wisconsin
and the freight movement is there
fore interstate commerce.

Jealousy Results in Double Tragedy at

Jealousy caused the death of two
persons at Minneapolis.
George Lewcock, a laborer, shot and
killed Mrs. Hattie Benson, rooming
house proprietor, and then fatally
wounded himself. He died an hour
later at the City hospital.
A charge made by Lewcock that
Mrs. Benson had been receiving the
attention Of other roomars resulted in
q quarrel. The woman ordered Lew
cock from the house after telling him
she would not marry him.
Lewcock went to his room. He re-
turned minute later. Before Mrs.
Benson had time to escape he fired
two shots at her. Both bullets struck
her in the head and she fell dead. The
man turned and shot himself in the
head.
