It cannot be doubted that the con-

two generations between the extremes
OF political thought in Germany have
prepared the ground for just such a
conflict OF classes as appears to be
going forward at this moment The
working people have been pampered
like children In some respects. but
have been shorn OF political and In
dustrial power. They have been con-
clean dwellings, ample care OF the
sick and aged--and beer. They have
always been grossly underpaid, as
compared with workmen of like
grades in America and Great Britain
and this has accounted. In large meas

manufacturing capitalists of Germany
have made in wealth since the rise OF
the continental factory system
Now the German workman Is hav-

cal views from some OF the leading
German Socialists. He Is hearing
daily how his brother in Russia has

APPLICATION
FOR PARDON OF
MENDENHALL
May Be Opposed By Federation Of
Womens Clubs and Women of
Florida Generally

an application for pardon on be-
half of j. j. Mendenhall, convicted
five years ago in Pinellas county for
the murder of two women, has
aroused the women of Tampa and the
surrounding country to activity in op.
position to the application.
1t is expected that the Federation
Of Woman's Clubs will lead the fight,
Mrs. Amos H. Norris, of Tampa,
chairman of the industrial and social
conditions department of the organi-
zation, expects to appear before the
board and oppose the motion in per-
son. She will also address communi-
cations to other members of the Or
ganization and enlist their active as
sistance.
The crime for which Mendenhall
was convicted and sentenced to life
imprisonment was one Of the most ap.
palling in the history Of the state
He murdered, in cold blood, Mrs. G
w Elliot and her daughter, Susar
Elliot Of Tampa, on the night of Jul!
S, 1915, and partly consumed thei1
bodies with fire.
In company with Mendenhall the,
left Tampa in the night for Clear
water. The party went in an auto
mobile driven by Guy Stempel,
chauffeur. Mendenhall and the tw
women, according to Stempels tes
timony at the trial, sat on the rea
seat, while Stempel drove the car
On Mendenhall's order, Stempe
turned into the old Clearwater roa
} (then little used) beyond Oldsmar an
when the party was about mil
away from the main road Stempe
heard Miss Elliot cry out to Menden
hall that he had killed her mother
Her cry was preceded by heavy blo'
which Stempel described as bein
like the thud Of heavy club agains
a hunk of meat
Stempel says he turned aroun
when Miss Elliot cried out, and h
saw Mendenhall pointing pistol {
his (Stempel's) head. Stempel leape
from the auto and ran and Mender
hall fired several shots at him
Stempel said he supposed Mendenha
had meant to kill him also and bur
his body along with those Ct TX
women. Stemrel said as he got SON
distance away he saw blaze, whie
was made by the burning Of tho al
ltomohile. He made his way to Clea
water and reported the affair to She
iiff NJ NJ. Whitehurst, who went
| Nlendenhall's home and arrested hin
! The sheriff's party also went to Il
= scene of the crime. The smolderiI
ruins of the car were found and
them lay the charred bodies Of the ty
7 women.
Mendenhall tried to lay the Grin
upon Stempels shoulders, but 1t so'
developed that there was a charge

laid against Mendenhall by Mrs. I
liot, the man having taken the youn
