PRESIDENT HELPS ALONG
 THE FOOD CONTROL BILL
Is Opposed to the Substitute Bill
 Drawn by Senator Gore.

Washington, July 13. - President Wilson today came to the support of the administration food control bill as originally submitted to congress. In response to a request from sen- ate leaders for assistance in solving the difficulties standing in the way of action there. the president sent to Democratic Leader Martin a person. purposes of the original bill for gov ernment control of foods, feeds and fuels only. He wrote that he be- lieyed unnecessary the extension of amendments attached in congress to steel, iron, copper, cotton, wool, leather and other products.
 The substitute bill drawn by Sem dent as an emasculation of the admin istration legislation. He wrote that he dep1ored the delay on the bill and considered prompt final disposition of the legislation imperative The pres ident's letter, which was not made public, is understood not to has dis cussed prohibition in an: form. Up- on reliable authority, however, it was said that in his conference yesterday the senate leaders the president ex- pressed disagreement with the Shoot amendment adopted by the senate last week directing purchase by the gov ernment of all stocks of distilled bev- erages in bond at ocst plus ten per- cent.
 Upon receipt of the presidents let ter administration leaders prepared to secure action along the lines suggest ed. Senators Lodge, Shoot and oth- CT republican leaders were called in to conference and 6 meeting of the democratic steering committee for next week arranged. Food Administra tor Hoover conferred with Senator Cham berlain, in charge of the bill, and add- ed his opposition to the Gore substi- tute as nu1lifying the governments food control plans.
 Fruitless attempts were made by Senators Gore and Reed to secure by parliamentary moves immediate con- sideration of the Gore substitute. Vice President Marshall ruled that until the pending administration bill is en- tire1y perfected by amendment the Gore substitute will not be in order.
 The senate spent the whole day de- batting an amendment designed to pre- vent members of the defense councils advisory commission from selling their own products to the government. Just before adjournment Senator Pomerene offered a substitute which Senator Chamberlain. in charge of the bill, agreed to accept. merely prohibiting the commissioners from working for contracts in which they have personal interest.

It bears ont advices receiv- ed from Copenhagen last night to the effect that the results Of the German political crisis thus far are com para 70 lively small The introduction into tho emperor's decree of the phrase equal franchise merely restores provision which. according to Berdiu gossip. was contained in the original draft of the Enperor's Easter manifesto and was eliminated at the last moment Tn con sequence of reactionary intrigue. r ai- co was pointed out that the new i'm periaI announcement does not prescribe immediate adoption of the reforms. in asrnuch as the next elections may not take D1ace until after the war and that there is not a word of the introduction of ParIiamentarism in the imperial ad- minstration.

 Whre Mrs. Gilligan was tried on one count only, the indictments returned against her by the grand jury charged that she had brought about the deaths of four other inmates of her home by administering poison: In its allegations the state contended that as many as forty inmates of the Archer home had died under peculiar circumstances dur ing a period of several years. Her motive, the state set up, was to profit on life contracts she had made with inmates whereby she agreed to pro- ing the remainder of their lives for specified sum, generally s1,00o.
 Sobbed as She Heard the Verdict
 Mrs. GiHigan sobbed she heard the jury's verdict. Her daughter. Mary Archer, who has been constantly beside her mother throughout the trial, burst into tears and clasped her mothers hands. They gained their composure quickly and followed the proceedings calmly.
 Motion to Set Aside OverruIed.
 Benedict M. Holden. the woman'e chief counsel, moved that the verdict be set aside as against the evidence, as contrary to statute which requires the testimony of two eye-witnesses. or it's equivalent, to convict on first degree, and as prejudiced. The motion was overruled and M~ Holden gave notice of appeal.
 There were indications early in the afternoon that the jury was nearing it's verdict when the jurymen filed into the courtroom and asked for instruc- tions as to first and second degree murder Judge Greene had covered this point in his charge, which was re-read. Less than an hour later rapping on the jury room door indicated that the twelve men were again returning A jury entered While the jury was filing in Mrs. Gilligan was conducted from an anteroom to her seat

 Yes"
 Mrs. Gilligan wept. She leaned back in her seat, her eyes closed -ppar- emily she was exhausted after the strain of four weeks. In her usual manner her daughter Mary buoyed the condemned woman up with words of cheer and hope.
 Had Nothing to Say.
 Her only answer to Judge Greene's question, Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be pro nounced?" was lowing of the head. After hearing sentence, Mrs. G1lllgan was led to an anteroom- She was taken back later to the county jail to await transfer to Wethersfeld prison tomorrow morning. She bore up stoic- ally.
 The trial began June 19 and lasted practically four weeks. Mrs. Gilligan, who is about 45 years old, was arrest ed in May, 1916, and later indicted by the graund jury on five counts. She was not brought to speedy trial be- cause her mental condition was such that she could not withstand the strain. She is native of Litchde1d.
