PRESIDENT BLOCKS
HANGING OF WOMAN
Commutes Death Sentence of
20-Year-0Id Negress to I'm
prisonment for Life.

President Wilson today commuted
the sentence OF Josephine Berry. a
twenty-year-old colored girl convicted
OF numbering her rival" in a love af-
fair, to life Imprisonment. He acted
just in the nick OF time, for she was
to be hanged tomorrow morning.
The communication was signed Just
one hour before a delegation from
all the women's clubs in Washington
called at the White House to inter
cede on behalf of the unfortunate
woman. They were overjoyed when
they found that their plea was un-
necessary.
This delegation was headed by Miss
Inez PhilbroolJ, of the legal depart
ment of the Red Cross, and Mrs.
Richard Wainwright, of the National
woman's party. 1t represented the
Federation of Women's Clubs, the Y.
w. c. A., the Woman's City Club, the
Red Cross and the National Women's
party.
President Wilson's act of mercy
prevents the FIRST hanging of a woman
in the District of Columbia in more
than half a century. Mrs. Surratt,
convicted OF completely in the murder
of President Lincoln, was hanged
ffty-five years ago.
Had Josephine Berry gone to the
gallows tomorrow heavy weights
would have to have been fastened
to her feet in order to break her
neck, for she weighed only seventy
pounds
She was born and reared in the
slums of Washington, was fatherless
and motherless from an early age. and
never had any moral training" ac-
cordlng to the delegation which called
at the White House in her behalf
today.
She was convicted of murder on oc-
tober 30, 1919. and was sentenced to
be hanged on June z, 1920. This
event was postponed three successive
times--to August 20, September 10,
and finally October Is.

DESPERATE EFFORT TO

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-With the ex-
pose Of Chicago's S3,OoO,00o whiskey

THIEVES LOOT CLUB:
ET$1OO,OOO GEMS
Rooms of Society Leaders
RifIed Following Smart
Dance on Hudson.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14--Scores of pri-
vate detectives were today working
with State police in their search for
the thief or thieves who some time
Tuesday night or early yesterday
morning robbed guests at the fash
ionable and exclusive Sleepy Hollow
Country Club, near Scarborough on
the Hudson, of jewels worth 500, 900.
The club Is one of the most exclusive
in the country. numbering among it's
members. Frank A. rVRnderlip, John
d. Rockefeller, jr., Finley Shepard,
Edwin Gould and V. Everit Macy.
About fifty guests stayed at the
club over night following a dance
Tuesday night. The apartments of
Clarence c. Chapman and c. B. Dam
forth. brokers, were entered. Among
the jewels taken was a pearl neck
lace valued at 100000. 1t belonged
to Mrs. Chapman.
c E. Danforth found that his room
had been ransacked. A diamond and
pearl pin worth several thousand dol
lars was among the articles stolen.
A woman whose name was not re-
vealed by the detectives, lost a dia-
mond bracelet of high value. Several
others, 1t is understood. suffered large
jewel losses.
William J. Burns, who lives Just
across the street from the club, was
the first summoned. II was learned
that he believes that the thief knew
that Jewels valued at probably
81 ,000, 900 would be worn by guests at
the dance.
1t was assumed that the thief en-
tered through a window over the
front porch. This window is more than
thirty feet from the ground and could
be reached only by ladder OF by
climbing a pillar.

extend to ireland dominion rule such
as that enjoyed by Canada and Aus
