SLIGHT DIGESTIVE
ATTACK SUFFERED
BY THE PRESIDENT

Washington. Oct, 2o.-while rec
ognizing that even any slight incl
dental ailment undoubtedly would
have a tendency to increase nervous
ness and thereby to a certain extent
retard recovery in White House cir
cles today there was no indication
that the slight digestive attack suffer-
ed yesterday by President Wilson was
the cause Of serious concern. In an
nouncin;g the. digestive trouble last
night Rear Admiral Grayson, Mr.. Will
sons personal physician. said other
wise the; PRESIDENT S condition was UNI
changed and indicated that the
patient was more than holding his
own.. ~. y,
1T was pointed out in other quarters
that digestive attacks are the rule
rather than the exception in cases in
which pc sons suffer, from nervous
trouble. In addition it was regarded
as natural. that in the. case of the
president, lack Of exercise would con-
tribute to digestive disorders and un-
less they persisted or were severe,
there was, little cause to e they
would seriously delay recovery from
the major sindisposition.

the murder of Mrs. Lottie May Brandon,
formerly of Washington, August s, 1917,
at Annapolis. and to save whose life
unusual efforts were made, was hanged
at s:55 O'Clock this morning, the execu-
ton taking place without a suggestion
of disorder Two companies of the state
guard and detachment of picked mem
bers of the Baltimore police force spent
the night in and around the Jail
Snowden died without making any
confession. He protested that he did
not commit the crime.
Sheriff Bells and his assistants went
to Snowden's cell at s:45 and told him
they were ready for him.
An almost eleventh-hour effort was
made to save Snowden's life by three
colored attorneys. George l.. Pendleton
of Baltimore and Charles Williams and
another lawyer named Beck, both of
Washington At 2:30 this morning the
trio gained admittance to the Jail and
asked that Gov. Harrington be asked
to grant a reprieve in order that appl-
ca ton for q writ of error might be pre-
pared and filed. Attorney Jerry L.
Smith of Annapolis, who had been re-
tained by Sheriff Bells for just such an
emergency, announced that the execu-
ton could not be stopped and declined
to have the governor called. 1t is un-
derstood that the three then tried to
get word with the governor, but failed.

EUROPE PUTS

League Plan.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
{By Wireless.)

PARIS. February 27.-That Presi-
dent Wilson has set in motion a
movement educating the American
people to larger participation in world
affairs, and will possibly get sane
ton for mandatories in certain sec
tions of Europe and the near east,
not to speak of active Intervention
in Russia, is the way the Presidents
speech is interpreted in Paris.
When the President stated that if
America withdrew from responsibili-
ties and confined her activities within
selfish boundaries there would be the
keenest disappointment throughout
the world he stated fact. Already
delegates from foreign nations ex-
press eager interest in reflex actions
in Americas mind as a result of Mr..
statement. The President will
swing the people with him in the view
that America should be more active In
world affairs. As one statesman stat =
ed. "Wfll America let q drowning
man sink again after having brought
him to the surface of the water?"
= As / have repeatedly stated. the
American commission will in nowise
commit America to foreign tasks
until the voice of the American peo-
pie is heard In view of Americas s
past humanitarianism and notable
work in the far corners of the earth
in uplifting humanity and helping
struggling peoples to emerge from
chaos. the European peoples are
taking it for granted that. now the
world most needs Americas assist
ance. America will live UP to the
faith placed in it.

have built up lucrative trades and es-
tablished valuable good will at their

STATE WILL PAY $4,000
TO w. E. PAYNE'S FAMILY
Maximum Under Virginia Work
mems Compensation Law in Case
of Slain Liquor Inspector.

RICHMOND. Va, February 2S.-The
state win pay to the family of W. E.
Payne, prohibition inspector of Alex
andria county. who was killed at
Rosslyn, Va. while arresting col
ored bootlegger, $4,000, the maximum
allowed under the terms of the work
mems compensation law for death.
This law was enacted at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, being passed
over the veto of the governor.
Under the terms of the law, which
became effective January l of this
year, the state must afford protec-
tion to her officers and employees
who are injured in the performance
of duty. and the cities of the state
come within the scope of its provi
sions, except where they elect to re-
main exempt. In such cases the in
Jured employee can sue in the courts,
but the cities are denied the common
law defenses in defending such ac-
tions. This is the first case in which
the state must pay under the terms
of the act. In Norfolk a few nights
ago a fireman was killed while at
work, and his widow will receive the
maximum pay, as provided under the
law.
