WOOD MEN TRY
TO GET HELP
OF DEMOCRATS
Go So Far aa to Ask They
Circulate Petitions in
His Behalf.
SEYMOUR MAN REFUSES

Evidence is accommodating to show that
in their desperate efforts to prove them
selves the more powerful Of the fac
tions IN their party, republican boosters
of Gen. Leonard Wood are not hesitating (
to enter the ranks Of democrats in In
diana, and have even gone so far as to
ask democrats to circulate petitions for
Wood.
Oscar B. Abel Of Seymour, whose name
was announced as one Of the early sign
ers of a Wood petition, has written the
Wood headquarters in Indianapolis a
letter in which he uncovers the effort
which is being made by the Wood sup
porters to create the impression that all
Indiana is for Wood.
Mr.. Abel shows part of the BIZ
partisan effort which IS now receiving
so much attention from the machine con-
trolled press Of the state His letter is
as follows:
"Gentlemen-I am in receipt of
yours of recent date inc1osing another
petition to circulate for Gen. Wood,
and in reply I desire to state that
this is the second invitation I have
had within the last week TO join the
republican party but prefer to re-
main a democrat.
"The only thing that would cause
me to turn at this time or at any
future time to the republican party
would be for Gov. James P. Good
rich to become a democrat. Then,
in order to maintain my self-respect,
I would surely turn.
"a few days ago I read in the
indianapolis Star that a Leonard
Wood petition had been sent to me
by Emsley W. Johnson and I did
receive such petition which I i'm
mediately returned to Mr.. Johnson
with the statement that 1 was a
democrat and that it would be some
what embarrassing to me for me to
engage in circulating a Wood petit
tion. Mr.. johnson didn't even favor
me with d statement in the Star that
I had returned the petition and the
impression stiH prevails among some
OF my very best friends that I have
switched to the republican party.
What is puzzling to me is that
If any one was sufficiently intimate
with me to Justify sending a petition
to circulate that they didn't first
familiarize themselves as to my pol
itics. 1t is true that I served as
captain from Dec. IL, 1918, until June
8, 1919, in Woods old division (the
Eighty-ninth), but that failed to
change my democracy.
II viii say to you as I said to Mr..
Johnson that I would feel somewhat
embarrassed and much out of place
should I engage in circulating a Pc
tition for a republican candidate and
I respectfully decline to do so, and
I herewith return it to you and advise
you to take the matter up with some
republican.
yours very truly,
OSCAR B. ABEL"

ABE SPAULDING
FOUND GUILTY
ANDGIVENLI
Negro Accused of Staying Lee
Stringer, Railroad Detective,
Goes to Jail at Once.
ESCAPES ELECTRIC CHAI

A jury in criminal court today
found Abe Spaulding, negro, guilty
of the murder of Lee Stringer, rail
road detective, and sentenced him to
life Imprisonment.
While the jury was reaching an agree
ment to place Spaulding behind the bars
for the rest Of his life baby girl was
born to Mrs. Lee Stringer, widow of the
murdered man.
Two men savel Spaulding from death
In the electric chair. From 8 o'clock last
night until nearly noon today the Jury
debated his fate. Ten jurors were
ready to send him TO his death-two held
out for lesser punishment They wanted
him found guilty OF second degree mur-
der The ten who wanted him to die
stood steadfast until they saw no hope
of agreement, it was reported, and then
agreed to the life Imprisonment penalty.
GOES TO JAIL
Ar ONCE.
Judge Collins formally pronounced
sentence Immediately after the jury re-
ported and Spaulding will be taken to
the Michigan City prison without delay.
The courtroom was crowded with spec
tstors, both white and colored. De-
tectives and deputy sherihs were scat
tered all through the crowd But there
was no demonstratloa--the crowd hled
out of the courtroom silently
Another man is yet TO be tried on the
same charge. Prosecutor Adams said
that Earl Mccoy. also indicted for the
murder, will go TO trial next Monday in
criminal court
An attempt was made during the trial
Of Spaulding by his attorney to fasten
the murder on Mccoy to free the con-
, victed man. Stringer, who was widely
known as a city detective before he en-
tered railroad service, was attempting to
run down a band of coal thieves when
he was shot. 1t was at night in lonely
railroad yards here.
WIDOW CALMLY
TOLD HER STORY.
Mrs. Stringer, widow of the murdered
man who today became a mother, testi-
fed in the case yesterday morning The
prosecution had announced that she
would be unable to testify because Of her
condition, but she mounted the witness
stand and calmly told what she knew of
the case
Spaulding's attorney, w. II. Lott, told
the jury before the case was closed that
the evidence Of Spaulding showed that
Mccoy fred the shot which caused
Stringer's death.
Spaulding took the witness stand in his
own defense late yesterday and testified
that Mccoy held the shotgun which
caused the death OF Stringer. Spaulding
admitted that he had a loaded revolver
which Mccoy gave him, but denied that
he fred a shot.
Spaulding admitted on cross examina-
tion that he had made a confession OF
firing the fatal shot to the police. but
said that part of the confession in which
he is said to have stated he fred the
shot, was untrue.
While Spaulding was putting the blame
Of the tragedy on his alleged companion
at the time of the murder, Mccoy sat
nervously dn an adjoining room. Sew
eral times he asked the deputy shefi6s
for drink of water and begged a

WOMEN NEED
OF 10 STATES
YET TO VOTE
Heroic Effort Needed to Save
Federal Amendment From
Losing Out.
UP TO BOTH PARTIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE federal
suffrage amendment giving women the
right to vote in national elections IS
trembling in the balance.
Needing for ratification purposes seven
more states out OF a total Of ten yet TO
be heard from-and many Of these
doubtful-it is beginning to look as
though only the heroic Intervention Of
both the big parties can save the meas
ure from defeat In so far as the 1920
presidential election is concerned.
The Intervention, it is believed here.
may ultimately come about for with
woman's suffrage generally considered
eventually inevitable. and with some 16.
100000 votes dependent thereon, male
politicians here are prepared to resort to
drastic measures to prevent their partic-
ular party from having to bear the
blame Of defeating the movement.
IDAHO CASTS
HER VOTE TODAY.
Today Idaho will cast her vote for or
against national womans suffrage. To-
morrow Arizona's legislature, in special
session, will do likewise.
On Monday New Mexico will follow
suit, and though none Of these states is
considered a certainty, the national
woman's party here is hopeful. Oklahoma
propaDIy VIII vote next NIOV. hODeFlSOn
Of that state having been urged to call
special session Of the Legislature for Feb.
%. AS Oklahoma has already adopted
woman's suffrage, it is believed she will
ratify the federal amendment
RESULT UNCERTAIN
IN FIVE STATES.
Maryland's legislature, 1t is announced,
Is in regular session this month and is
expected to ratify, but as to the remain
ing states, Connecticut. Vermont, Della
ware, West Virginia and Washington. the
future is very hazy.
In some Of these states the governors
are opposed TO the amendment and refuse
to call the special session necessary to
pass upon it.
