HOSPITAL ADDITION
BEGINS TO LOOM
$I5O,O00 BOND ISSUE SALE
is PROGRESSING
RAPIDLY

Excellent Roadway is being made by
the committee having charge OF st.
Marys hospital bond drive, during
which it is expected to dispose of an
issue of $150,000 drawing six per cent
interest This information was con-
veyed TO The Pilot just before it went
to press by Walter German, sales di-
rector. The new addition is already
looming up on Maple HILL making the
hospital doubly impressive in its beau
tiful location away from the noise OF
the city.
1t is especially desired that those
who will buy bonds, even by dint of
sacrifice, go directly to their bank or
to the Wisconsin Valley Trust COM
pany and indicate their desire to pur-
chase 500, 5000 worth of the bonds,
or whatever amount they feel they
can invest. The bonds for st. Mary's
are recommended highly as safe in
vestment backed by property worth
$500, 900 and promising a good rate
of interest.
Borrow Money
There have been many cases to date
of persons buying bonds to help the
institution and borrowing money to
make the purchase possible. The
bonds are good collateral and money
can be borrowed on them.
I'VE are not planning on any ex-
tensive canvass" one of the men who
is working enthusiastically for st.
Mary's told The Pilot, 80 we hope
that the people will help this splen-
did local institution by buying the
bonds on their own initiative" Many
persons have invested considerable
money in them, those who can afford
to put large amounts into such things.
In the country there has also been
evidenced splendid desire on the
part of farmers to assist St Mary's
hospital.
High Regard
From all over Marathon county pa
tients have come to the hospital and
have there been given the best of

tuition with feeling of high regard for |

ance. Realizing that many of these
people want the opportunity to make
such a safe investment, that will at
he same time net them a revenue and
De going good, the committee is plan
ling on working throughout the coun-
y this week.
If the present response continues 1t
will not take long for the $150,000 is
ue to be subscribed. The headquar-
ers in the Wisconsin Valley Trust
second floor, has been mail
ng information to citizens of Wausau
md community and Is each day re-

er's telephone number is 1881 and
here any information that is desired
will be gladly given.

This agent went to Pittsburg, Pa,
and induced colony of German i'm
migrants to come to Marathon coun-
ty on the strength of his wonderful
pen drawing. They came in the early
spring of 1857, but instead of TAX
ing steamboat at Stevens Point for
Marathon, they followed trail
through the woods, hauling their
worldly possessions on 'sgo-devils",
drawn by oxen, the men carrying their
packs on their backs.
Nucleus For Town
Each colonist had been giyena tract
of ITO acres of land and "city" lot.
When they arrived at the beautiful
city on paper and saw what 1t was,
many would have turned back but did
not have the means. By dint Of hard
wark, the colonists soon had quite a
clearing and had the nucleus Tor the
thriving town we'll under way The
hardships of these pioneer farmers,
no pen will ever be able to tel.
In time success crowned their eff
forts and by the strange irony Of fate,
those who had been too poor to return
to Pennsylvania soon became rich,
richer than they had ever DRAINED
of, even when the seductive landagent
was painting the west to them in glow
ing terms. The wealth they foind in

borhood of Marathon. Most fIthese
pioneers have passed away but their
descendants still work these arms,

DEATH SENTENCE
in DYNAMITE CASE
GIVEN THOMPSON
Man Who Blew Up Cot.
tage and Killed 8, Gets
Supreme Penalty.

ROCKVILLE. Jan. s.-Guy ver-
non Thompson must hang.
Barring the .interposition of ex-
ecutive clemency. he will pay the
extreme penalty for the deaths of
James Bolton and Evelyn and Har-
old shipley, resulting from the dy-
namiting of Bottoms little home
near Germantown early on the
morning of November IS,
1t took a Circuit Court jury two
hours and a quarter to return a
verdict holding Thompson guilty. of
first degree murder, the finding be-
ing announced at 1850 o'clock this
afternoon at the close Of the second
day OF the trial. The only reason
for even this short elaboration, 1t
was said, was that one juror held
out for a finding of first degree
guilt with recommendation that
capital punishment be not exacted.
possible under the Maryland law.
Judge Praises Jury.
In passing sentence, Chief Judge
Urner characterized the crime as
one OF the most atrocious in the
history OF the State. ''The jury"
he said. after careful deliberation,
has rendered a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. Upon
the evidence. 1t is diflcult to under
stand how any other verdict could
have been rendered. The jury have
intelligently performed the import
ant duty which they assumed"
If Thompson is executed, 1t will
be the first hanging in this county
for twenty years. The last to meet
death upon the scaffold in this
county were two negroes-Brown
and Taylor-who were found guilty
of killing a Hebrew merchant at
Slidell.
Early this evening, Sheriff Mich
olson, of Montgomery County, took
the prisoner to Baltimore, where
he will be kept until the date tor
execution is set by Gov. Ritchie
This move was due not so much to
fear OF mob violence as to insecurity
of the Rockville jail, from which
a number of prisoners have escaped
in recent years.
Testihes- for Self.
Thompson was the last witness
placed Oh the stand TINS morning.
He gave his testimony in an appar-
emily uncoRcerned and disinterested
manner, some of his answers having
a defiant ring. He repeatedly de-
MED having any connection what
ever with the dynamiting of the
Bolton home. He maintained he had
lied to the authorities when he told
them that he had gone to German
town and elsewhere the night of the
explosion and when he made other
statements damaging to himself
attributed to him by several wit
nesses.
Il knew they were lying TO me
and I had to lie to meet them," he
explained.
States Attorney Dawson ad-
dressed the jury very briefly. He
insisted that a verdict of first de-
gree murder would alone satisfy
the ends of justice.
John A. Garrett made a strong
argument for his client, his remarks
being more of a plea for the life
OF Thompson than for his acQuittal'

REED HOSPITAL
HEADS TO TESTIFY
House Rules Committee to
Determine on Congress
sional Probe.

Col. James D. Glennan, command
ant at Walter Reed General Hos
pital, and other hospital officials
will appear before the House Rules
Committee tomorrow morning to
testify on the resolution introduced
by Representative Mcleod, Michl
gan, calling for a Congressional In
vestigation of the FIRE last month
which destroyed part of the hospital
and caused the death of one of the
soldier patients.
Upon the testimony of these of1-
cials 1t is expected will hinge the
decision of the committee whether
the resolution should be passed by
Congress and the investigation be-
gun.
Yesterday Commissioner Hendrick,
of the District; George w. Watson.
chief engineer of the Fire Depart
ment, and Battalion Chief ]. ]. Han
lon were heard by the committee.
These officials expressed the opin-
ion that delay in sounding the alarm
and the use OF the telephone instead
Of the fire alarm box was partly re-
sponsible for the headway gained
by the fire.
Edwin NJ. Cleary, an attorney, liv-
ing near the hospital, told the COM
mittee that an alarm from Walter
Reed would bring Engine Company
No. %, which he described as a
country company" while an alarm
from Tenth and Louisiana avenue
would be responded to by six or
eight companies to save the lives of
chickens, ducks and a pig or two.
