Wife-Slayer Hanged;
Reprieve Is Denied
Frederick L. Small Gets Death
Penalty for Brutal New
Hampshire Murder

CONCORD. N. H., JAN 14.-Fredcrick

morning for the murder Of his wife,
Florence Arlcen Small, at their home
in Ossipec, in September, 1916.
Small was pronounced dead at 1927,
nine minutes after the trap was sprung
He maintained his calm and his only
words when he was informed he must
die were:

Small. was escorted into the death
chamber by his spiritual adviser, but
not a word was said in the chamber.
Before the trap was sprung all the
lights were turned out and Small went
to his death in the darkness.
The Governors Council tonight re-
fused q reprieve for Small. For more
than five hours the Council listen

Shortage in Corn,
Here, Is Reported
Milling Interests Say There Is
Not Enough to Permit Its
Use as Substitute
for Wheat

The campaign of the food admins
tration to save wheat by urging the
people to eat more corn promises for
the time being to be barren Of result
SO far as New York is concerned. for
the reason, it is asserted. that corn to-
day is probably about the scarcest
commodity in this great city.
Inquiry among the leading milling
and distributing interests yesterday
seemingly bY the local food admins
trat;on officials, that the total supply
of cornmeal outside of the hands Of
retailers is not more than 1000 bags, or
about what would ordinarily be con-
sumed in the city in half a day.
AS for whole corn-that is corn in
the kernel-there was not, according
to figures posted on the Produce Ex-
change, single bushel in public ware
houses and probably not more than
1.500 bushels in cars which could be
located at various terminals.
When this situation was brought to
the attention of John J. Stream, mem
Der Of the food administration buying
corporation staff, he explained that it
was all due to the acute congestion of
freight. "There is plenty of corn head
ed for this market" he said, but when
the railroads will succeed in delivering
it here is another question:
The sales manager for one of the
large cereal concerns explained that it
was cornmeal rather than corn that
was wanted to keep Mr.. Hoovcr's plan
for substituting the coarscr grain for
wheat -four in operation, as none of the
mills in greater New York is equipped
to grind corn on a scale large enough
to supply the local demand.
Now York thore fOrC in addition tO
it's many other troubles, stands in dan
ger of corn famine" and the heads
Of several baking concerns who were
appriscd of this situation predicted
that unless some relief was soon forth
coming the newly whetted appetite for
"mush," "corn pone" and similar dishes
would become so dulled that the food
administration would have much of its
work to do all over again.
Arthur Williams, local food admins
traitor, expressed much surprise last
night when he was informed that corn
meal was at a premium in the city
markets.
81 tell you in perfect frankncss," he
insisted. that doubt such a shortage
I haven't heard even a suggestion of
any food being short. The great troub-
le is that in figuring the supply on hand
some persons figure the per capita pro-
portion. That would not be wise, be-
cause few persons eat cornmeal. We
understand there is an ample supply

qury into the state of the nations de-
fences. From the outset he declared
that the militia system was antiquated
and that the mobile siege guns of the
Germans had revolutionized warfare.
Committees of citizens which were
formed to support Mr.. Gardner's de-
mand for adequate national defence
have since grown into permanent
bodies and already are the ancestors
of innumerable loyalty and defence or
CARNATIONS. Congress was not in
mood to heed the prophet from Massa-
chusetts and that particular inquiry ac-
complished little more than to put the
question of national defence in the
prominent position it occupied through
out the years during which America
was a Dystander in the World War
Mr. Gardner never relaxed in his
campaign for defensive measures, how
ever. powerful army and powerful
navy were necessities to the United
States, he was convinced, and his every
effort was bent toward their accom-
plishment. Germany's utilization of
the submarine impressed him, and in
September, 1915. he added a numerous
underwater fotila 20 his programme.
After two years. struggle the House
finally came to a consideration of the
Hay bill, which Mr.. Gardner branded
at once as farcical in view of the emer-
gency that confronted the nation and
the world.

40 not think it will be normal until
March, but there will be enough, if wo
use 1t sparingly."

and the coal shortage had made sugar
scarce by tieing up forty ships. He said
that the ships are moving more freely
now and sugar is arriving in New York
III large quantities daily. 1t is raw
sugar. but it takes only three DAYS to
pass through reiincries and to reach
tlc public.
Only part Of the 10000 tons that
is to arrive in the next two weeks is
for New York. he said. The refincrics
at Boston, Philadelphia and New Or

is destined for shipment to the army

They are getting half their regular

month that they were getting 10000

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 14.--Otto H.
Kahn, of New York, to-day warned the
militant Bolsheviki" of the United
States that the American temper was
becoming stern and would not stand
trihing. He made this reference to
those who would upset the American
social structure in time of war while
speaking here at the University of Wis

determination, which BODIES i'll for any
one standing in its way
zone element only there is in our
population which does deliberately
challenge our national unity, the
preachers and devotees of liberty run
amuck, who would place a visionary
class interest above patriotism and who
in ignorant fanaticism would substitute
for the tyranny of autocracy the still
more intolerable tyranny of mob rule,
as for the time being they have done
in Russia.
Some there are who have been
blinded by the glare of liberty as man
Is blinded who after long confinement
IN darkness comes suddenly into the
strong sunlight. Blinded, they dare to
aspire to force their guidance upon
Americans who for generations have
walked in the light of liberty.
Drunk With Freedom
"They have become drunk with the
strong wine of freedom, these men
who until they landed on America s
coasts had tasted nothing but the bit
ter water Of tyranny. Drunk, they
presume to impose their reeling gait
upon Americans to whom freedom has
been pure and refreshing fountain
for century and half.
"Brooding in the darkness of age

fantastic and distorted image of free
