Washington. D. c., Nov. 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson. October IA committed to
life Imprisonment the sentence of Jo-
sephine Berry the Colored woman who
was to be hanged at the district Jail
for the murder OF Ada King, another
Colored woman. more than year
ago.
Considerable interest has been TAX
en- in this case, not only from the
conditions surrounding the murder,
but also because of the fact that
the hanging of the condemned woman
would have been the first hanging of
a woman since the execution of Mrs.
Surrat more than fifty years ago.
Heavy pressure in the form of pc
president of the United States by
numerous organizations and lead
ing citizens of both races. Among the
organizations acting as petitioners
were the Oldest Inhabitants Associ-
alton (Colored). the Crispus Attacks
Relief Association, the Young Mems
Protective League of the District of
Columbia, and the Baptist Ministerial
Association.
A delegation of more than seventy
Colored church men and women pre-
scented a petition and made a per-
sonal appeal to the president throug
Secretary Tumulty.
A delegation of women planned to
call from a number of local organiza-
tions at the White House with simii-
lar petition, but Cancelled their visit
when they learned of the presidents
action.
Before announcement was made at
the White House that the president
had committed the sentence Chief
Justice Mccoy, in the district SUI
preme court, had postponed her exc
cution until November 10 at the re-
quest of United States Attorney Lask-

1t is highly gratifying to see this
act of well merited clemency avert
what might have been rigorous en-
forcement of the letter of the law
tce. as would have been the case
had the death sentence been carried
ont. A movement on the part of so
many petitioners carried force
ticularly when the petitioners in
cluded the prosecutor who secured
conviction and the judge who passed
sentence. The crime was indeed MUIR

in this case recognize when the COM

fortunate girl-without father or

that womanhood found her hardened
and embittered, unable to read and
write, and with no well balanced
ideas of right ard wrong.

After-war Coffee.

People old enough to remember the
Civil war are able to recall the fact
that after the close of that conflict it
was difficult and often impossible to
obtain coffee. Various substitutes were
used, such as parched rye, but one that
was commonly utilized in Washington
and many other cities was sweet pO-
tatoes. The latter We're first roasted
and allowed to burn somewhat on the
outside. Then they were mashed in
water and boiled. The water was thus
transformed into coffee, by no means
so unpalatable as might be imagined.
Sugar in those days cost % cents a
pound. But the sweet potato coffee
required no sugar, and 50 was an eco
nomical drink.
