SCHMIDT PAYS PENALTY
FOR AuMuLLER MURDER.

ossining, N. Y, Feb. 1s-Hans
Schmidt was electrocuted at Sing Sing
prison to-day for the murder of Anna
Aumuller on September 2, 1913.
Schmidt went quietly to the death
chamber accompanied by the principal
keeper and the Rev. Father Cashin, the
prison chaplain. Leafing the death
house, he said goodbye to those who
remained.
When he entered the chamber the
guards attempted to direct him toward
the chair, but Schmidt gently shook
them off and insisted upon addressing
the seventeen witnesses. The guards
desisted from their efforts and with
Father Cashin standing at one side
and the keeper at the other, Schmidt
said:
Gentlemen, ask forgiveness OF all
those I have injured or scandalized. l
forgive all who have injured me. My
last wish is to say goodbye to my
dear old mother"
Schmidt then seated himself in the
electric chair and the current was ap-
piled three times Within a minute he
was dead. He had spent the night up
to midnight in praying and talking
with Father Cashin and slept from
midnight to o'clock, when he was
awakened for breakfast. He would
take only cup of coffee.

EAST POINT.

Mrs. Jane Auxier died near Tram, in
Pike county, Saturday before last and
the remains were brought here sun
day for burial beside her husband, Jo-
seph K Auxier, who died twenty years
ago at his home at this place. Mrs.
Jane Auxier was a Bevins. of Pike
county and after the death of her hus-
band she went to live with her reia :
tives in that county. She, perhaps, had
some peculiar characteristics, but was
a good woman and lived and died in
the christian faith. She was near 80
years of age and has been totally blind
for thirty wears or more and her hus-
band was deaf for the greater part OF
his life. There were no children In
their home and we remember the aged
couple who sat so many lonely days
together patiently enduring their al
Elections until separated by death. But
we hope death has again united them
in a, better world than this where sur
fering and sorrow are unknown.
The unusual severity of the wealth
er prevented many from attending the
funeral.

ALLIES NOTE TO SUMMARIZE
AIMS--NoT TO STATE TERMS
FOR PEACE.
London, Dec. s.-Dispatch of the
allies reply to Germany's peace pro
posals is imminent
Information today indicated that
the phraseology of the identical
notes, to be sent by all the entente
nations, had practically been settled
upon. .-..
Russia's Teply-couched in terms
agreed upon by the allies is already
enroute to Paris, where it will be
handed the American ambassador,
with Frances note for transmission
to Berlin sometime within the next
few days.
From authoritative sources the
United Press learns the allied notes
will contain:
A rejection of a peace based on
German-made plans.
A vigorously worded summary of
the principles for which the allies
COHIeuu Cuey are uSnunS-IO remove
the menace of militarism, of might
over right, of the rule of force over
international law.
Probably the allies will make still
clearer their aims and purposes by a
recital of the Grimes for which they
propose to hold Germany responsible.
The note, however, will not state
specifically the terms on which the
allies will consent to talk peace. /
Such terms must be inferentiaIly
drawn from the statement of the
aims and purposes for which the
allies are fighting. It will not con-
sent to the peace conference urged
by Germany. 1t will not admit the
timeliness Of the German plea, nor of
President Wilson's suggestions.

.RUMOR OF BANDITS
RAID over BORDER
Causes Hurried Dispatch Of
Troops---Rumor Said to
Be False

FL Paso, Texas, Aug. 2.-Captain
William Kelly, Jr, commanding the
cavalry troops rushed from Fort Bliss
to Finley, Texas, reported to General
Bell today there was absolutely no
truth in the report that $50 Mexican
bandits invaded the United States near
there. The report of the bandits pres
ence was received by General Bell late
last night from militia officers at Fort
Hancock.
The Allison brothers, owners of n
ranch near Sierra Blanca, Texas, who
acted as guides for the American cav
airy reinforcements, laugh at the re-
port. Carranza Consul Garcia does not
credit it. The cavalry and two motor
cycle companies also rushed to Finley
will continue scouting in that territory
but do not anticipate finding any raid
ers.
The border hereabouts was consider.
aDly wrought up by the reported pres
ence of the bandits on American soil.
On reports that $50 Mexican bandits
crossed the Rio Grande at Finley, Texas,
eight miles west Of Fort Hancock, two
troops of cavalry, motorcycle corps
and 10 truckloads of infantry were
rushed from Fort Bliss today to Fort
Hancock The reported raid is believed
to be in retaliation for the killing of
four Mexican bandits there Monday.
General Bell at Fort Bliss, stated he
had received no reports of fighting be.
tween American militia or regulars and
the bandits. His information was that
the bandits crossed into United States
territory and he said:
~ don't propose to allow them to
remain"
The two troops Of Eighth u S. cav.
airy are reported to have passed
through Fort Hancock ON special train
en- route to Finley.
