Becker Must HANG.

Albany, n. Y, June 19.-The court
of appeals today denied the applica-
ton of Charles Becker, for re-argu-
ment on it's decision affirming his SEN
tence of death.
Becker, convicted of inspiring the
murder of Herman ROsenthal, is in
the Sing Sing death house sentenced
to die during the week of July y. In
terVention by Gov. Whitman or the
United States supreme court alone
can save him, according to local au-
thOrities, little hope is expressed that
the federal court will act favorably,
Or that the governor, who prosecuted
the former police officer, will be in
clined to grant him clemency.

the Woods" by the self-stvled apostle
Kie Herbert. As Herbert is not vested
with the usual rights of the clergy,
doubt was expressed about the legal
ity of the wedding of he performed
the ceremony.
So Hanks and Miss Armenter were
married by a Protestant minister.
The bridal party and guests retired
to a nearby home for the wedding
feast. While the festivities were go
ing on merrily the bride it is charged,
slipped away with Richards.
When she was discovered missing,
the bridegroom led the chase. The
trail led down the road, but, it is said,
the bride and "other man" threw their
pursuers off the track by cutting
through a rice field.
The next morning, the story goes,
the bride returned to her parents
home not far away from Crowley. In
the meantime, the bridegroom return
ed to the wedding feast, the fight
started and the half dozen guests were
marched to jail.

ASSISTANCE GIVEN
PELLAGRA VICTIMS
$40 OR $50 A MONTH WILL BE RE
OUlRED, HOWEVER, TO KEEP
FAMILY TOGETHER.

The story appearing in The News
on yesterday, of the family of ten
in the shadow of the city, nine of the
members of which are suffering with
pellagara, was responded to nobly by
the citizens of Hattiesburg.
The stricken family, not member
of which is able to do any work OF
any kind, will require at least $40 or
$50 a month for its support until all
suffering is relieved. The inquiries
made of DR.. Robert Donald, county
health officer, who is looking after the
destitute people, have convinced him
that the citizens of the city will con-
tinue to give assistance to them.
On the day the sufferers were dis
covered, DR.. Donald personally gave
them money with which to purchase
a stock of provisions to last them for
a few days. Today one of the city's
turned over to Dr.. Donald s. worth OF
provisions, while another person gave
him $40 for the family.
1t will require $40 to $50 a month
for a few months to keep the family
together, DR.. Donald said.

of the Southern kingdom into the Eu-

Italian NEWSPAPERS today are com
menting on this fact.
Along the Isonzo front, the battle
on which hinges the fate of Trieste,
is assuming greater proportions. Aus
tria has sent her finest troops as re-
Inducements, while the pick of the
Italian army has been hurried to sup
port the advance guard sent into Aus

A raid by Italian seaplanes and di-

The Russians are making one last

WAR CLOUD SPREADS
Continued from Page One.)

The population of the earth totals |
approximately 1,732,0O0,000. The to-
tai population affected directly by the
war is SIG, $40, 626. Nearly one half of
the inhabitants of the earth, there
fore, are at war in which their gov
ernments are involved.
The total cost of the war to date in
life and treasure, to those involved,
it is impossible to estimated, even ap-
proXimately. Any cO-called estimate
that may be advanced must be a wild
guess merely, and therefore barren
of value. Not until months after the
close of the conflict will any statistics
on this line be worth the paper on
which they appear. This general
statement, however, is true-that no
war in history has approached the
present war in destructiveness of
life, prosperity and useful industry. 1t
is costing many millions of dollars
per day, and more than a million men
have fallen since the opening gun was
fired less than eleven months ago.
Some idea at least of the compare
tive insignificance of other great con-
1icts may be had from the fact that
the total financial cost of the Civil
war, lasting four years, was $4,000
100000, and the total cost of the
/ Anglo-French war, continuing from
1893 to 1915, was $6,250,O00, 900. The
total cost of all wars from 1893 to 1918
-120 years-is estimated at $26,
$4,000, and the total loss of life in the
conflicts of 120 years at 5,49S,100
OF striking significance is the fact
| that the aggregate strength of the
| armies engaged in all these wars of
100 years was 1882 00--a grand to-
| tai equalled, at least, by the present
war alone, if the estimated field
strength of Russia be accepted as re
liable.

SMALL VOTE At PRIMARY
CONTINUED From Page Oue.)

some of these counties, perhaps, the
election officers may allow the delin-
quents to vote anyway, which has
been done in the past but the state
election machinery is in new hands
this year, and the disqualified ele-
ment will probably find hard time
getting to the polls.
In nearly all the counties the local
executive committees have made mi
tial preparations for the primary, and
will meet again about the middle of
July to name the election officers.
Thus far the committees have been
very moderate with their assessments
on candidates to defray election eX-
penses, and in some of the counties
state candidates have been exempted
from these payments, owing to the
large number of local candidates
whose names will appear on the tick
cts.
Persons otherwise qualified, but
who have not been registered, may
perfect their registration prior to July
2. which is only thirty days prior to
the primary, and four months prior
to the general election. In event OF
failure to do so they cannot partici-
pate in either event.

A Timely Message to
Careful Investors

There has just been started a large company
capitalizing the richest field of the most lucrative
business in the world, monopolizing a vast field of
business never before commercialized a business that
has the world for its market, a proven field as its
guarantee, and a new and wonderful industry for its
enormous profits; a business of guaranteed success,
where returns on the investment have no limit.
This company is backed and differed by the
most substantial and influential men in the West, in
conjunction with large Eastern capitalists and bust
ness men: far-sighted men who see the big oppor-
tunities and grasp them; men who do not affiliate
themselves with any but the largest, soundest
and biggest paying propositions, and who, when they
do, invest their time, money and name.
For purposes of substantial afiliation and associ-
alton, of becoming moulded to the West in which it
does business, this company has instituted a CO.
operative business policy and is offering to Western
investors, for a limited time only, an opportunity of
sharing in this wonderful, fortune-makine enterprise
on a ground-Aoor basis. This offer is limited and
open for a short time only.
Appreciate that this merely gives to you the
privilege of investigating this wonderful opportunity,
and does not obligate you in any manner whatso-
ever. Full particulars will be mailed to you upon
request. The company wishes you and the West to
know what it proposes to do, and how you and the
West share in this world enterprise. And further
understand that you have never before heard of this
opportunity, nor has anything like it even been
Appropriated before.
And also understand that fully appreciate the
utter uselessness of inviting your investigation unless
| have the wonderful opportunity | have promised
you. Knowing this, | still guarantee you will not be
disappointed and will be well repaid for your trouble.
Opportunities of a lifetime knock but once,
tomorrow is the FOOLS paradise. All l ask is that
you fill out the coupon and mail it now while the
chance is yours. Whether you take advantage of
this exceptional opportunity we are offering you for
reasons of broad business policy or not is your gain
or loss, not our business. Mail it to me personally
and will guarantee you full particulars and satisfac-
ton by mail without trouble or obligation in any
manner whatsoever.

AIDS TO DIGESTION

Whatever improves bodily condi-
tions in general aids digestion.
Cheerfulness, exercise. fresh air,
baths and good habits make your di-
gestion better able to take care of any
burdens you impose upon it, But the
greatest aid to good digestion is good
blood. Anaemia, or thin blood, is a
common cause OF indigestion. Normal
action of the stomach is impossible
without healthy, well-oxidized blood.
Dyspepsia which does not Yield to
ordinary treatment may be quickly
corrected when the blood is enriched.
Many people have secured relief from
chronic forms of indigestion by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills which
make the blood rich and red, capable
of carrying an increased amount of
oxygen, the great supporter of human
life.
Have you ever seriously considered
giving DIR. Williams Pink Pills a trial
to tone up your digestion, increase
your vitality and make life better
worth living, IL your blood is thin
and your digestion weak you certainly
need them. Send for a diet book. Ii
