hurts me, how IL hurts me to know
that Dick is going back TO the old
way OF forgetting.
This morning he made visit to
my room and was particularly sweet.

that | overheard what he and Jim
we're talking about the other day,
"Margie,' he said. won't you try
and believe me again? Won't you
try and understand that love you
always and that IL | could, would
willingly die 10 make you we'll
again."

as you can. Perhaps in little
while we'll get adjusted TO this
trial. II not. we'll, you know you
promised TO let me die"
"Why. Margie. you are mistaken,
| am sure I did not"
"Yes, you did, Dick. and I'm going
TO hold you to your promise
He bent down and kissed me and
oh, little book, shall have TO tell
you or 60 mad. All the kisses that
Dick has given me since my acct
dent, with the exception OF that one
time when he took dinner with me
have been those one might give to
the dead, so cold. so hopeless, so re
signed, so pitiful are they.

MOHR DEFENSE
STARTS ATTACK
ON WITNESSES
Newspaper Writer cross-Ex-
amined by Attorney Lewis on
Statements of Negroes.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. Jan. 24.-The
States case was drawing to a close
when the start was made today on
the third week of the trial of Mrs.
Elizabeth +. Mohr and two negroes,
Cecil Brown and Henry Spellman,
charged with the murder of DIR. c.
Franklin Mohr. The lawyers for the
defense have not yet indicated how
many witnesses they will call.
Attorney William II. Lewis, of the
Defense began his examination
of Miss Gertrude Stevenson, a writer
on a Boston newspaper, today, re-
garding her testimony as to a con-
versation with Brown.
Miss Stevenson said she did not
know until last Friday that she was
to be called as a witness.
Didn't you tell a young lady at
birthday party in Boston. on October
30, that you were going down to Prov
idence to testify against those mig
gers?"
"I never said such thing" she an
swered.
The witness admitted she was at
the party and talked about the case
with Miss Salita Solano, a newspaper
writer.
Miss Stevenson denied that she ex-
ercised any personal charms" to
get the confidence of the negroes, but
admitted she thought it was "neces-
sary to deceive them" to get their
story. She denied she went to the
jail ito get a story that would con-
meet Mrs. Mohr with the murder

\ Long Fight.
The Pratt letter accentuates the
long and bitter fight that was made
over the Newark postmastership ap-
pointment. It has been claimed by
some Democrats that Mr.. Sinnott has
been well taken care of by his party
in the past. At the present time he
is head Of the Passaic Valley Trunk
Sewer Commission, which berth nets
him $500 annually for a compara-
lively small amount of work. He is
a member of the Wilson League, but
only Joined II short time ago, while
Mr.. Armitage has been head of the
league ever since it was organized
and he has helped it financially at
various times.
Some of the opposition to Mr.. Armi-
tage came from unexpected quarters.
1t is said some Of the Hudson county
Democratic leaders have been strong
" opposed to the Armitage candi-
dacy and based their opposition on
his record in the State Assembly more
than score of years ago. The fact
he was a party to the prosecution in
the Egan case at that time appar-
emily was not forgotten. This case
also brought out some opposition to
Armitage from Essex and other parts
of the State.
No Sinnott Statement.
Mr.. Sinnott declined to make any
statement with relation to the con-
troversy today. When asked by a re-
porter for the Evening Star about
the matter, Mr.. Sinnott said:
at would be unseemly for me to
make any statement at this time. 1t
is not my fight. | have been dragged
into it and l can have nothing to
say.
Later believe, must make some
kind of a statement, but I shall GER
tainly have nothing to say now.
only regret that such an unfortunate
controversy has arisen"
The name of Mr.. Sinnott, it was an
nounced last week, will be sent to the
Senate either today or tomorrow for
confirmation. Announcement of this
was made from the White House, and
Theodore S. Fettinger last Saturday
received a letter from Mr.. Tumulty
that the contest for the postmaster
ship had been settled in favor of Mr..
Sinnott. MIR. Fettinger informed MIR.
Armitage. Mr.. Armitage thereupon
congratulated Mr.. Sinnott and said he
hoped they would continue to be good
friends.
1t was believed in some quarters
that the religious reference attributed
to Mr.. Tumulty by Mr.. Pratt was a
sequel to "A public letter of Mr.. Tum
ulty some time ago on the Mexican
situation. 1t was announced pre-
viously he had received a letter from
DIR. James A. Mcclure. of Trenton, in
which the latter asked about alleged
religious persecution in Mexico. In
relpy Mr.. Tumulty went into an eX
PLANTATION of the situation and said an
official Of the Catholic Church in
Mexico City had asserted that the
Catholics of Mexico had not been vic
tins of religious persecution. AS
result of the letter Mr.. Tumulty was
attacked in Catholic newspapers, who
united in asserting Mr.. Tumulty had
stretched a point in order to support
the Washington administration
handling of the Mexican case. 1t is
known that ever since that time Mr..
Tumulty has felt that he has been
wrongfully attacked by the Catholic

years ago which lasted for twenty-five
weeks and cost them $4,000, and was
finally won by the strikers in their
New York plant, while the local shop
of the company which was not union
lied was working all the time. Now
they claim with both the New York
and Newark shops the company has
very little chance of inducing the en-
ployes to go back to work by threats
of removal
The union today sent several girls to
picket shops in Jersey City on learn
ing that the Trouyille company was
going to send work to the shops in
that place to be finished The local
situation will be explained to the
workers in the Jersey City shops at
noon today by the Newark workers
and they will be asked to refuse to
finish up any work that comes from
the plants in this city or New York.
Labor Leader Satisfied.
julius Portnoy, representative Of
the Waist, White Goods and Corset
makers Union, who is directing the
strike in the Trouville plant, stated
today that he was well satisfied with
the conditions of the strike and that
the lockout started by the company on
Saturday was an admission that the
strikers had the upper hand.
IF they could continue to- run the
plant with the employees that stayed
in the shop they would do So said
Mr.. Portnoy. but they found that it
would be cheaper to close down the
plant for the time being than to buck
the union"
Mr.. Portnoy stated further that the
national organization had placed its
strike fund at the disposal of the local
strikers. and that on Saturday help
was given to some of the girls who
were laid off in the Trouville plant,
which layoff was directly responsible
for the present strike.
Mr.. Portnoy further stated that / 900
local workers would be affected if the
strike of the Ladies' Waists and
Dressmakers' unions was called in
New York on Wednesday, which is
the last day given by the union for
the signing of the new wage schedule
by the manufacturers, was called.
Mr.. Portnoy stated that $4,000 girls
would be affected by the strike in
New York.
On Sunday, February 6. a monster
will be held of all the fra
ternal. social and labor Hebrew or
in this city. At this meet
ing speakers will point out the condi-
tions under which the girls of this
city are working in some of the fac
tories in an effort to enlist the SYM
pathy of the Hebrew residents in the |
fight for better wages, sanitary condi- |
tions and hours of labor.
The hall for the meeting has not
yet been selected.

EXECUTIONS OF
BANDITS REVEAL
CARRANZA POWER
Washington Sees in Summary
Punishment Steps to Pro-
tect Americans.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Summary
execution by Carranza authorities at
Juarez of the two murderers of Bert
| L. Akers, American ranchman, was
regarded by officials here today as
an earnest intent of Carranza'
anxiety to protect Americans. Ot1-
cial notification of the executions
were expected today.
Punishment of the murderers also
somewhat allayed pro-intervention
agitation in Congress. With the re-
convening of the Senate today fol-
lowing its recess since Thursday, oc-
cational speeches along the admtnis-
tration's policy were expected, but
the period of a daily and general on
slaught seemed to have passed.
No immediate action was planned
in either the Senate or House foreign
relations committee on various inter-
vention and other Mexican resolu-
tions. That the administration would
not submit it's report on Mexican ar
fairs, complying with Senator Fair s
resolution, until after the president
returns from his Western speaking
tour two weeks hence was ot1cially
stated.
Credence was given Senator Fairs
information today that the State I
rama factions active. The extreme
southern end of Mexico and the Pa
cific Coast States are under only nom
inal Carranza authority. Zapatistas
have been inactive recently, but in
formation here is that Carranza does
not expect to be able to enter Mexico
City for weeks.
Ell PASO. Tex. Jan. 24.-Ill feeling
against Americans in Mexico had
been increased today by the execution
of two Juarez Mexicans for the muir
der of Bert Akers. rancher.
Bernardo and FREDERICK Duran, who
died with a curse on their lips for
Americans, had many friends in
Juarez.
Their execution by a firing squad
foV. the killing of Akers last Friday
was one of the most gruesome Incl
dents OF the Mexican trouble seen
near FL Paso.
The captain of the firing squad. who
had embraced them a moment before
the execution, put his revolver to their
heads and gave each of the brothers
the "mercy shot" the rlflemen's bull
let's having failed to bring instant
death.
About fifty Americans, including
several woman, witnessed the execu-
ton and heard the Durans hurl vile
oaths at the Americans ..--4
FREDERICK, the elder Duran, died pro-
testing his brothers innocence and de-
claring against the forfeiting of two
Mexican lives for one American.
I'VE are dying for the cause Of
Mexico against Americans shouted
FREDERICK Just before the firing squad
carried out the Carranzista orders.

Labor Must Emancipate
Itself, Says Frank P. Walsh

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. "a
Speaking before the convention of the
United Mine Workers today, Frank p.
Walsh, chairman of the new commit
tee on industrial returns and the head
of the federal commission on indus
trial relations. now out of existence.
declared that if labor is to be emanci-
pated and receive industrial justice it
must be done by labor itself. Only in
complete organization can they find
protection, he said.
Mr.. Walsh ridiculed the Rockefeller
plan for dealing with the employees
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany. He considered the strike in
Colorado won by the workmen be-
cause John ID. Rockefeller was COM
PEELED to toacknowledge the responsibility
for everything that occurred in that
State" and because he was compelled
to acknowledge the scientific facts
underlying collective bargaining by
proposing plan dealing with the
workers. The plan, however. was
bogus one, Mr.. Walsh declared.
