Albany, N. Y.-Shortly before 'Da,

Harry Vallon, an informer, fired the

Cirofici averred he was five miles
away at the time the crime was COM
mitted and that Whitley Lewis" Sci

scene of the shooting, did not fire any
of the shots. Cirofici made no at
tempt, however, to deny that he was

Rosenthal, even admitting that he and

Washington. - Mandamus proceed
ings to compel the production of books
and papers to disclose financial deal
ings between the New Haven Rail-
road and the Billiard Company will be
started Immediately by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Chief Counsel Folk announced that
he would bring the proceedings proba-

at the end of morning of examina-
tion of witnesses who refused TO an
swer questions intended to develop
evidence of dealings involving millions
Of dollars. Upon the advice Of their
attorneys they denied the right Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
inc ire into the financial affairs be

When the hearing adjourned there
was a probability that the testimony
of Charles S. Mellen, former president
of the New Haven system, might be
delayed to await the outcome of the

WILSON WEDDING IN MAY
Presidents Youngest Daughter to Wed
Secretary of the Treasury.

Washington.-While no date has
been announced for the wedding OF
Miss Eleanor Wilson, the presidents
youngest daughter, and Secretary Nc
Adoo, Washington society expects it to
take place within a month. Dress
makers are already at the White
House and it is believed an announce
ment of the wedding date viii be made
within a short time and that it will
be some time in May.
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, who
were married at the White House last
November, reached here Thursday
from Williamstown, Mass. and joined
the president and Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Eleanor and Margaret Wilson and
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones on their
trip to White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
Prospects are that after the family
returns to the White House active pre-
parations for the wedding will be be
gun. That the reception after the
wedding may take place out of doors
is not altogether unlikely, as the White
House grounds are never prettier than
in the spring.

FOUR GUNMEN DIE |
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
GRIM TRAGEDY ENACTED IN THE
DEATH HOUSE AT OS-

MET THEIR DOOM STOICALLY
Went Praying to Their Doom, Sending
Words of Admonition to Friends

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ossining, y. Y.-The four gunner
paid the death penalty for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal in the electric
chair just as day broke Monday morn
ing: Whitley" Lewis the last man to
die, was pronounced dead at 6:21.
The men were electrocuted in the
following order:
Frank Cirofici ("Dago FrankD.
Frank Muller ("Whitey LewisD.
Harry Horowitz c'Gyp the Blood').
Louis Rosenwdg ("Lefty Louis').
Easter Sunday and the night that
followed was almost one continuous
prayer for the condemned. They were
on their knees most of the time that
they were not talking with relatives.
A prisoner in a distant cell now and
then blew from a battered cornet the
quavering notes of Nearer, My God
to Thee" and in the death Louise prop
er a phonograph played sacred music.
On the walks in front of the prison
curious townspeople passed to and
fro, whispering, and every now and
then a party Of dusty automobilists
swung down from their car to survey
the buildings.
OF the scenes in the death house cor
ridors Sunday, that which stood out
boldest concerned the visit of two
nuns. AS father Cashion, the Roman
Catholic prison chaplain, led the four
gunner in prayer, two Italian Fran
ciscan Sisters who had come from
New York to see "Dago Frank" whom
they had taught in his boyhood, knelt
outside his cell. Raised curtains, show.
ing the cells bare and immaculate after
Saturdays cleaning, disclosed the four
gunner also kneeling. Suddenly the
spirit of devotion spread to the whole
death chamber. Every one of the 16
condemned, among them three China
men and Hans Sshmidt, slayer of Anna
Aumuller, joined the service.
To the boys of the East Side in New
York the Jewish trio of the gunmeli
sent a final message through Rabbi
Jacob Goldstein. Whitley Lewis
wrote: There are many boys who
are we'll brought up and have good
parents, who do not look out for the
company they get into. Bad company
is the cause Of their downfall. They
get bad record, and then no matter
whether guilty or not they would be
framed up.
Keep away from bad company, i!

Washington.-Mai. Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff of the army, sent
cut to school superintendent all over
the country a letter endorsing the stu
dent military instruction camps to be
held during the coming summer. Al
hiding to the fact that these camps
have the hearty endorsement of Presi'
dent Wilson and former President Taft
as well as leading educators, General
Wood says:
knowing the benefits OF a certain
amount of military training TO a ma
tin and that in the United States
su.h training can be obtained only by
voluntary effort and that the great ma
jorty of young men are unable to
affGd this training as given in the
various military schools and colleges,
the secretary of war has decided to
establish four students military in
struetion camps during the coming
summer, which students IS years
of age or oyer-members of the grad
uating classes at high schools through
out the country, are eligible to attend;
this is the minimum cost for food and
clothing and transportation.
These camps are of great value, not
only to the student from a physical
and educational standpoint, but to the
nation in that it spreads among its
citizens a considerable amount of
sound military information and in
creases by just that much the number
of partially trained men who would
be available and greatly needed in
time of emergency.
knowledge of these camps, their
organization, purpose and the instruc-
ton given is either not generally
known or thoroughly understood, 4
knowledge that is vial to success"
The camps will be held at Asheville,
n. c.; Burlington, VT, and Ludington,
Mich, from July 6 to August Z, and at
Monterey, Cal, from June 26 to July
81. The University of Illinois, with 15
students enrolled for the camp at Lud-
| ington, leads all other institutions.

FERTILIZER AND

SPECTACULAR CONTEST OF 1919
TO BE RENEWED IN THE NEXT
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-That the fight of 1912
will be renewed at the coming session
OF the General Assembly to place the
fertilized and feed stuff inspection
work under the direction of the expert
ment station, is indicated in the re-
port OF w. r. DodsOn, director of the
State Experiment Station, to Governor
Hall
THE fertilizer and feed stuffs con-
troll work should be reorganiZed II
the best results are to be secured"
said DR.. Dodson.
Legislative enactments from time
to time have so entangled the duties
of those engaged in the agricultural
activities of the state that sCme OF
the old laws should be repealed and
new laws enacted, that will clearly set
the state is to engage in promoting
agricultural development, and more
clearly define the responsibilities of
those who may be elected or employ
ed to do the work, as well as the au-
thority of the boards to whom respon-
sibilities are entrusted.
"As a illustration of this entangle-
ment | cite you to the fact that the
Board of Supervisors of the Louisiana
State University elected the professor
of agriculture at the State University,
who, ex-officio becomes director of the
| experiment stations. The work of the
stations is under the supervision of
the State Board of Agriculture and I'm
migration. We thus have one board
electing a man to have have charge
| of the work over which we have no
control, and another board having con-
troll of the work without authority to
employ or discharge men to do the
work.
Again, there is division of authority
in the inspection and analysis of ferti-
lizers and feedstuffs that is detrimen-
tai to the best service.
Scientific investigation is pre-emi.
nently the first function of the ex.
pertinent stations. For the best re.
suits. those engaged in this work
should be relieved very largely OF
other responsibilities.
There are but two reasons that
know of from the farmers viewpoint
why the work of fertilizer and feed
stuff inspection should be participated
in by the experiment stations, since
we have passed through the pioneer
stages of investigation along these
lines. One reason that has been ad
vanced for such participation is that
the analytical work is scientifically
technical, and only technically train
ed men should be employed to do this
work: and that such men being out
of the realm Of politics would not be
employed by political officers. The
other reason is that the stations have
received pecuniary aid in carrying or
their work by the net revenue re
manning after paying the expenses o
the inspection and analytical service.
