HANS SCHMIDT,
FORMER PRIEST,
ISELECTR0CUTE0
Confessed Murderer of Girl Calmly
and Boldly Walks to His
Death.
ASKS FORGIVENESS;
INTERRUPTS PRAYER
Full Mass Said in Death House
for First Time in
History.
ASKS FORGIVENESS;
INTERRUPTS PRAYER

Ossining, N. Y, Feb. 18.-Hans
Schmidt, the unfrocked priest con-
victed of numbering his sweetheart,
Anna Aumueller, and throwing her
body in the Hudson river after dis
membering it, was electrocuted in
the death house of Sing Sing peni-
tentiary here today.
Makes Death Statement.
He walked boldly ahead of his at
tendants, telling his fellow convicts
in the death house good bye as he
passed their cells. When he reached
the death chair he stopped, calmly
brushing aside the attendants who
were fastening the wires and holding
aloft a silver crucifix turned to the
spectators and said:
pardon me. beg forgiveness of
all whom I have offended and scan
dalized. I forgive all who have Of
Tended me-"
my Lord and my God," inter-
rupted Father Cashion, but the con-
demned priest continued:
"Please give my mother my last
good wish"
Full Mass Said.
Again Father Cashin interrupted
with prayer. The condemned priest
repeated it, the straps were adjusted
and 1880 volts were shot, instantly
killing the condemned man.
Father Cashin claimed the body
for burial in behalf of the mother
who is in Germany. A crucifix, two
candles and a cross were placed upon
an improvised altar in the death
house and full mass was said.
1t is the first time that full mass
has been said in the history of the
death house.
Confesses to Murder.
Schmidt is the man who told his
attorney he wanted to die in the elec-
trio chair in the hope that his inno-
cence would afterward be established
and capital punishment thereby
would be stopped.
It was on Sept. 5, 1913, that the
upper part of Anna Aumueller's dis
membered body was found in the
river off Woodcliff, N. J.
The body was identified as that of
former servant in the rectory of St.
Boniface's church, and Schmidt, who
for three years had been performing g
the functions of a priest in New
York, was arrested in the rectory Of
St. Joseph's church.
On the day of his arrest the priest
made full confession, in which he
admitted that he killed the girl and
cut her body into nine pieces.

Secretary Lansing States That the
Attitude of Germany is
Inconsistent.
LUSITANIA CASE
AGAIN HELD UP
Teutons Demand That Great Britain
Make Concession in Sub.
marine War.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The United
States in it's submarine controversy
with Germany will accept nothing
short of a full and complete agree
ment covering all the points for
which it has contended as to assur-
ances that the warfare in the future
will be conducted in accordance with
the established principles of interna-
tional law.
In announcing that fact late yes
terday, Secretary Lansing let it be
known that the state department con-
siders Germany's declaration Of it's
intention to sink without warning
after February 20, all armed mer-
chant vessels of the entente allies, to
be inconsistent with the assurances
given previously by the Berlin gov
ernment.
Hold Up Lusitania Case.
The tentative communication, de-
signed to end the Lusitania case, still
in the possession of Secretary Lam
sing, will not be accepted formally
until such assurances regarding the
future are given, although the COM
munication, insofar as it relates to
the Lusitania itself is acceptable.
State department officials also con-
slider that the Austro- Hungarian
memorandum regarding armed ships
is not in accord with the assurances
given by the government in the nego-
tiations over the sinking of the Ital-
ian steamship Ancona.
Ancona Matter Also Held.
Consequently final settlement Of
the Ancona case probably will be
withheld until Austria gives similar
assurances to those now requested
from Germany
The views of the United States we're
explained in detail today by Secre-
tary Lansing to Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador. The am
bassadOr was Informed, it was indi-
Gated at the state department, that
the United States desires the German
declaration regarding armed mer-
chant ships to be modified
Britain Must Make Concession.
Today it was stated emphatica1ly
in Teutonic diplomatic circles that
the Berlin foreign office would not
modify the declaration of their in
tention to sink armed ships, or in
form the United States the previous
assurances still were binding unless
Great Britain should give assurances
of some kind that submarine which
warns a British steamship, armed
ostensibly for defensive purposes,
would not be fired upon.

BEMIDJI RESIDENTS
ATTEND BIG MEETING

"A. "A. Wdrue1Q OF Bem1QJl VINO Is
visiting in California, has written
an interesting letter to the Pioneer
in which he describes the Minnesota
celebration held Feb. 12, at which
a large number of Bemidji people
were present.
Kellogg Speaks.
Mr.. Warfeld's letter is as follows:
Each year the visiting people at Los
Angeles have picnic from their re-
spective states. Feb. IL was picnic
for all Minnesotans, which was held
at East Lake Park, beautiful park
about three miles from Los Angeles.
About 5000 people, all from Minne-
sofa, attended, each one bringing
their own lunch and by buying but
ton for 10 cents entitled you to a
cup of coffee. All were required to
register from their home county in a
book nailed to tree with posters
above each book stating the counties.
Each book contained people from 5
or counties. Beltrami county head
ed the list from the northern part of
the state. Nine were registered
from the city of Bemidji. After
lunch speeches were in order Frank
Kellogg of st. Paul gave the open
ing address. After complimenting
the crowd for such large represen-
tation, he told few good stories
and called to attention that this was
Lincoln's birthday. He ended up by
saying Minnesota and California were
good enough for him. Other speech
es followed and all were we'll re-
ceived
Good, Hot Day.
1t was what you might call good,
hot, comfortable day with plenty
shade trees and green grass. Made
me feel from Minnesota, their sum-
mer was about three months ahead
of time
Since Jan. 81 there has been no
rain and sunshine every day. Gar
dening is in full swing; plenty of
fresh vegetables already. The nights
are foggy and damp and 1 under
stand it will the same for a month
longer. Lots Of roses in bloom and
oranges looming up from the trees in
hundreds of back yards, besides
groves of many acres. It makes a
beautiful sight, looking east about
80 miles, where on a clear day can
be seen Old Badly mountain, covered
with snow nearly the year around.
The railroad to San Diego will not
be opened until about March 1 on
account of big bridge being washed
out. All travel goes by boat from
the beach. The opening day for the
fair at San Diego will be March 18.
They are expecting a big attendance
on account of the war reverting
travel within the United States.
Thinking the letter may be of inter-
est to you, 1 remain yours very truly,
A. A. WAKEFIELD.
We receive the Pioneer regularly
and enjoy it.

country whose schools have medical
inspectors. This is an increase of
43O cities since 1902.
"Open air schools are also another
form of protection. There are over
100000 students in the public schools
at present who are doomed to die be-
fore they reach the age of 18 years
on account of tuberculosis, unless
| conditions are met and improved
Educational machines must be recon-
structed to meet the conditions.
Must Feed Students.
"Other forms of protection" said
DR.. Coffman, "are Fairgrounds, pro-
vision for feeding the children, school
baths, etc. There are $50 cities in
the country that must feed children.
1t is a condition which must be met.
"Another protection is the removal
of the broom and the feather duster
and the installing of modern systems
for cleaning the buildings. Protec-
tion must be given not only to pre-
vent the students from bad physical
environment alone, but also bad So
cial and moral environment"
Education Fundamental.
DR.. Coffman pointed out that edu-
cation comes during the secondary
period of schooling. He stated that
education was fundamental to "pre-
paredness." He described the differ
ent methods used during the second
ary period and stated the public
school system was primarily intellec-
tual
Selection, the third purpose Of the
public schools, according to Dr. Coff-
man, extends from one end of the
school work to the other.
Advertises Ability.
"The public school system is the
agent for the child to advertise what
ability he has," said DR.. Coffman.
''The school system gives the child
the idea of what he desires to be-
come 1t should give him an ambi-
tion
Schools, to be educative, must
train workers and leaders,
At the meeting last evening a
musical program was given by Miss
Rhoda Nehring, soloist, and the Sev-
enth and Eighth grade girls of the
Bemidji schools under the direction
of Miss Francis Kenney.
Meet in Sections.
This morning the teachers met in
sections. Besides ''round table dis
cussion" session, there were sessions

Superintendent P. P. Colgrove of
Virginia was the first speaker on the
program. His subject was 1.-The Eff
fective Teacher
1.-THE most effective teacher" said
Superintendent Colgrove," is one who
can make a lasting impression. What
is looked for in the teaching profess
sion is results, results in boys and
girls. Most boys and girls are see
ing how little they can be driven to
do. An effective teacher is one who
can make she student do the driving.''s
Tells Of Experiences.
Superintendent Colgrove told of his
experiences in Virginia and of the
teachers and students he has met. He
advised the teachers not to stand
off and drive the children but that
they should mingle with the children
and become acquainted with them.
Ambition Main Point.

Superintendent Colgrove, ''is worth

poses of the Public Schools"
The three purposes of the public
schools are protection, education and
selection, according to DR.. Coffman.
Protection Necessary.
"Protection comes in the primary
grade,' said DR.. Coffman. "The stu
dents then are NOT able to take care
of themselves and must necessarily
have protection. Protection extends
through the entire schooling and is
gradually extending. Today we have
