FIRST HANGING
IN FIFTY YEARS
In State Of Kansas, Unless President
Wilson Saves Him By Exercise
OF Executive Clemency.
Associated Press

LEAVEIJWORTH, Kan, Mar. 81
Robert F. Stroud, of Juneau, Alaska,
will be the first man legally hanged
in Kansas in almost SO years unless
President Wilson saves him by exer-
Icise Of executive clemencv.
.41ie last legal hanging in this state
took place in 1870 and the death pen
atty was abolished in 1907; but Stroul
was tried and convicted in federal
courts for murder committed in the
federal penitentiary here and sentenc-
ed under federal law to be hanged.
Another unusual feature of the
case is the fact that he would have
escaped with life Imprisonment if he
had not insisted upon a third trial
which resulted in a death sentence. If
it is carried out he will be the first
man to be executed in Leavenworth
prison.
Stroud was serving IL year SEN
tence in the penitentiary for the kill
ing of man in Alaska in quarrel
over a dance hall girl, when in 1916
he attacked Andrew E. Turner, a
prison guard, and stabbed him to
death with dagger which he had
made from a table knife, and carried
in a concealed pocket in his \ coat.
Stroud asserted subsequently that
Turner had called him name.
For this killing Stroud had three
trials. In the first he was found gull
ty of murder and sentenced to death,
but the court of appeals remanded the
case on the ground that the trial
judge had failel to inform the jury
of its privilege of bringing in "qua-
lifted verdict limiting his punish
ment to life Imprisonment. In the
second trial the jury availed itself OF
this legal provision and sentenced
him for life. Stroud's lawyers felt that
they had gained a victory, but at the
prisoners insistence the case was a.
gain appealed, and at his third trial
Stroud was once more found guilty
and sentenced to death. The case was
carried to the United States Supreme
Court which affirmed the sentence.
] Stroud has been aided by his mot
her. Mrs. Elizabeth Stroud, who came
from Alaska in an effort to save his
life, She appealed to President Wilson
ito commute the death sentence.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 31-The

questing his name be placed on the

Former Secretary of State Lansing

ty power in the national administra
ton must keep elbow to elbow always
with the workers in the field and the
executives in office.
Both great parties have branch
headquarters in Chicago and in New
York. It is often remarked that the
children of the two national commit
tees spend the greater part of their
time "commuting between New York
and Washington and Chicago" and a
cartoonist once pictured national
chairman passing himself on the
New York-Chicago trip" -
At this time all the candidates,
avowed and prospective for the presi-
dental nominatio min each party,
maintain headquarters in Washington,
to which come reports from the work
ers in the field. Publicity agents of
the candidates are diligent to give out
information concerning the progress
of the campaign, which receives fair
and generous treatment from the cor
respondents.
1t is a notable fact that the news
paper men on duty at the National
Capital are called upon, as the gener-
al rule, to maintain a more non-par-
tisan attitude toward candidates and
public affairs in general than the
writer's who are in the thick of the
battle and the heat and passion of the
hour. At this time, especially, there
seems a disposition to give all the
candidates "a square deap', although
newspapers may bave individual pref
erences.
The topic of most general political
interest in Washington just now, ov-
ershadowing the discussion of the
merits or handicaps of individual can.
didates for the presidential nomina
ton, is whether President Wilson is
to be a candidate ffor denomination
and reelection. The subject is rem
dered debatable by the fact that thu
President has refrained from announc
ing, as he could at any time, his po
/ sitive determination not to be can
Ididate. Because he has not done SO, th'
political gossips have continued t.
talk about the possibility of anothe
term.
/ Everybody who is in any way clos
ito White House circles is agreed upol
the individual opinion, without auth
4 ority to so announce that the Presi
dent will NOT accept third nomina
ton. 1t is fixed belief, conviction
and nothing to the contrary vii
change the feelings of those who hol
lit.
4 They realize that the President
debarred by circumstances from max
: ing an announcement of his declins
|tion at this time. 1t would, they sa!
I serve to throw the democratic 6rgar
-Iization into chaos and hamper the II
tional management which now opers
fltes under the titular leadership of Il

BY The Washington Star
Copyright 1920.

WASHINGTON, March 3O-While
the actual work of the preliminaries
to the great impending national cam
paign is being done in the states, it
falls out that the National Capital is
a clearing house Of information as to
progress and results, as we'll as
ceEtef of interest. This is true, nat
urally, because the administration of
the government is located in Wash
ington and furthermore because every

IT. Ton is the distributing
point ror news about politics and pol
iticians largely through the medium
of the corps Of Washington correspon-
dents, recognized as a semi-official
body, with standing before Con-
gress and the executive departments
that is unique. There are some two
hundred odd of them whose names
are borne in the Congressional Direc-
tory and whose professional conduct
comes under scrutiny of the commit
tee on rules of the Senate and the
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives.
To obtain enrolment in the list of
correspondents entitled admission to
the press galleries of the House and
Senate, the writer's must conform to
specified rules of professional con-
duct, infraction of which entails GUST
ing from the galleries and dropping
from the published list, which is avail
able to all departments Of the gov
ernment.
Correspondents must be engaged in
the work of sending daily telegraphic
dispatches to newspapers in the first
place. They must agree not to take
part in any attempt to influence leg
islation nor to be connected with fur
nishing news to corporations having
business before congress or to stock
dealing concerns. They are held ac-
countable for the accuracy of their
dispatches and may be criticized from
the floor Of the House or Senate with
without recourse except through their
own writings, and may be hailed for
contempt before the bar of either
house.
For the most part, the correspon-
dents on the list are men from from
their home offices, who have gained
experience in the politics of their
states and are familiar with men and
measures.
Both the great political parties
maintain national headquarters il

Winter Winds

The winter, slow dragging, is
spelling our lives; the wild
winds are nagging like Billings
gate wives; all day they are
ranting, they give us a pain; all
night they are chanting a drippy
refrain. The wild winds are
bolder than wild winds should
be, and keener and colder than
bergs in the sea: they come and
deliver a smart and a sting, and
sufferers shiver and clamor for
spring. And spring will be
slippin' along pretty soon, and
spring is pippin, with roses OF
June. And how we will love
her. the garlanded spring. when
mOckingbirds hover around us
and sing! If winter were ban
ished, to come back no more,
we'd find, when it vanished. that
spring is a bore. We wouldn't
be grateful for breezes of May
il winter, the hateful, were out
OF the way. The long night is
chilly. and plastered with snow ::
the mercury's silly, it's fourteen
below; and thus we're in train
ing the spring to enjoy; SO cut
out complaining, and cheer up.

WARNS ABOUT SOLDIER DEAD
U. S. Bulletin Advises Concerning
Return of Bodies.

Relatives and friends of American
soldier dead in European countries
are cautioned by the War Depart
menJ in an official bulletin to avoid
all propositions from ''unscrupulous
parties" who have been collecting
money on the representation that
they are able to return the bodies
of the soldier dead "in advance of
the government" Solicitations from
interested parties in foreign coun-
tries also have been sent to relatives
making a similar offer to return the
bodies earlier than it can be done by
the War Department on condition of
d considerable financial deposit.
The War Department wishes it, I'M
derstood that the burial places of
American soldiers in the field of op-
erations of the American expedi-
tionary forces still remain in the con-
troll of that department. 'It is not
the policy of the department" says
the bulletin. "to relinquish custody to
private concerns for transportation
to the United States of the American
soldier dead. All those who are to
be brought home will be brought by
the government and at it's expense.
Therefore no money should be paid
to any person for the purpose of Sc
curing the return of a body to the
