Chicago, June 1.-The campaign of
Frank Hitchcock for Justice Charles
Hughes appeared today to have united
the anti Hughes elements in the stand
pat republican ranks with the Roose-
welt republicans in concerted attack
on Hughes with possible agreement
on Roosevelt in the offing
Around Candidates Roy at the hotels
today there was every indication that
a combine against Hughes is under

The situation, however, was muddled
a bit by the arrival today of Willie
Barnes, Jr., of New York, foe of the
colonel.
Barnes, it is said, may hold the key
to the situation.
The arrival here of Senator Boise
Penrose of Pennsylvania, was anxious

his LIFE NOT ENOUGH"
TO MAKE PREPARATION
Says He Is Wiling to Sur
render That As Partial
Payment for Crimes

New York, June 1.--Dr. Arthur War
ren Waite, was today sentenced to die
in the electric chair at Sing Sing some
time during the week beginning July
10th.
Before the confessed murderer of
John E. Peck, Grand Rapids, Michigan
millionaire, was sentenced he thanked
the court for the manner in which his
trial was conducted.
''I am willing to give my life in
partial payment for the wrongs have
done Others" Waite said, in a speech
to the court.
az only regret that 1 have nothing
more than life to give them. MY
soul will go on and on trying to make
reparatiOn for the wrongs 1 have
donep <
DR.. Waite was calm, and displayed
no emotion whatever when the sentence
of death was pronounced. The arch
pOisOner who confessed to two murders,
an attempt at a third and to petty
crimes throughout his life, stood be-
tween two deputies with third deputy
behind him when Justice Shearn pro-
nouneed the worda that sent him to
the Sing Sing death house.
When asked if he had anything to
say as to why sentence should not be
pronounced, he replied, 'T have not.
He then asked that he be permitted to
say a few words. The request was
granted, and in steady voice, Waite
began his speech.
"I wish to thank the court" he be-
gan, "for the fair and expeditions man
ner in which my trial was conducted.
[ thank Mr., Brothers 1.-THE assistant dis
trict attorney, who prosecuted the
case), for the conscientious way in
which he did his duty toward the peo-
pie and the justice he has done me.
81 also thank my counsel, Mr.. Deuel.,
for his efforts. He is sincere in the
belief that / am insane, and did all he
could.
"To ask forgiveness of those whom
have wronged would be almost i'm
possible. But 1 am willing to give up
my life in partial payment for the
hurt 1 have done"
Percy Peck, son of the old man
Waite murdered in hopes of gaining the
Peek millions, was in court, as was
Frank Waite, brother of the con.
demned man. They were the only mem
bers of either family who heard the
death sentence passed. Mrs Margaret
Horton, Waite's "studiO companion y
was absent.
After being sentenced, a hand cuff
was snapped over Waite's wrist A
deputy held the other end Of the steel
"nippers." Waite was then led away
to be taken by automobile to Grand
Central station where the HOY train
was taken for Ossining.

lows:
"The Mexican government has just
received advices that a group of Amer
lean troops has crossed the frontier and
penetrated Mexican territory and at
present is near a place called FL Paso,
some 20 miles to the south of the from
