PRISONER FORTY YEARS DIES
Woman Refused Pardon Five Times.
Was Exonerated Of Crime

Raleigh, n. c.. Feb. 1.-(By A. P.)
Sarah Wyckoff, seventy six years
old, is dead today in the state prison
after forty years Imprisonment, during
which she five times declined pardon
at the hands Of as many governors, and
after she had lived to learn that Il
death bed confession had completely
exonerated here Of the charge for which
she was sentenced.
Forty-two years ago Sarah Wyckoff
entered the state prison to serve a life
sentence, as the convicted accomplicc
in the murder Of her husband, Wesley
Wyckoff, in Alexander county. in the
mountains of North Carolina. The con-
victed principal, n Negro. was hanged.
Three years ago from the mountains
came word that death bed confession
had absolved the woman of connection
with the tragedy. Then, for the fifth
time, she refused n pardon, explaining
that she was being treated well, that
time had shattered all her relations with
her family in the mountains, and that
she preferred to spend her last days
amid the surroundings she had learned
to knows so well.

INTERSTATE JITNEURS LOSE
Public Service Commission Rules
Penna. Certificate Is Required

Harrisburg, Feb. l.--tBy a, H.
The Public Service, Commission today
took jurisdiction in the case Of a jit-
uoyman who claimed to be engaged in
interstate traffic and ordered him to
ease operating until he secured a GER
tifcatc Of convenience to haul passen-
GERS in Pennsylvania. The decision,
Which will have wide effect, was
written by Chairman w. d. B. Aincy
in the OBJ bjections of the Chambersburg,
l;rrcncastlr and Waynesboro Street
Railway Co.. against Emmit Hard
man. Who was accused of running a
jitney between Waynesboro and High
licl Nd. without having secured state
authority. IIardmnn contended he was
engaged in interstate trattic, a plea
similar TO that advanced in a number
ot Delaware county cases recently.
The chairman reviews the federal and
state laws and declares Hardman, hav-
ing been refused state permission in a
former proceeding, operating in defiance
Of state law, directing him to cease
until he obtains official sanction for his
transportation enterprise under the
public service law.

Lawrence Sulines the inside story Of how
otlier Ms the big conference on armament ap-
lEuaches.1
Great Britain and the United States
face a showdown
Do the two English-speaking peo-
pies really stand together through
their respective governments or is all
the talk about kindred races and
hands across the seas" only SO much
poppycock and banquet drivel?
This. in a nutshell. is the first fun
damental which will be settled by the
conference on armament and far east
ern problems which brings TO Wash
ington in the next fortnight the rep
reSentatives of all the major powers
in the most important gathering since
the peace conference that ended the
European war.
To understand the many fine points
of the coming conference. to read
between the lines of its formal state
n:ents and automatically toned
speeches. the average American who
doesn't follow the intricacies Of
diplomacy will do well to bear in
mind certain facts which have been
developing slowly in recent months
but which when pieced together re-
move entirely the veil of mystery
from the proceedings which we are
soon to witness here.

in the first place. without detract-
ing in the least from the lofty spirit
which actuated President Harding in
summoning the conference of powers,

the meeting happened to be called.
Events forced the issue-events in
deed over which the United States
did not have complete control. Here
is the inside story:
President Harding told the Ameri-
can people as soon as he took office
that he wanted to put Americas s
house in order first before tackling
questions of foreign policy. He hon
estiy believed it could be done Mr..
Wilson as President had given first
consideration to foreign policy. had
gone overseas himself to help settle
II. while taxation and after-the-
economic issues developed intense
irritation at home. Mr. Harding
thought he would reverse the process.
But when he began getting confiden-
tiai cabiegrams from HIS trusted am
bassador in Great Britain, George
Harvey, telling him what was hap
pening in Europe Mr. Harding took
counsel with Secretary Hughes, and
he realized that the situation was de-
veiOping faster than he had imagined,
He had believed that with the settle
ment of domestic questions there would
be time later to enter the realm of in
ternational conference. When Sem
afor Borsh of Idaho and others clam
ored for conference OH disarma-
ment Mr.. Harding felt that while the
object was good one his hand ought
not to be forced. He believed such
things could wait till our-government
was ready to give its whole-hea rted
attention to the matter
Premiers Change Aspect.
But something happened in London
to upset Mr.. Hardings plans for an
orderly handling of these thorny
questions Of foreign policy. That

ference of dominion premiers in June,

ELEVEN DROWNED
AS BOAT cAPS|zES
Bodies Of Two Fishermen Are
Washed Ashore at
Ang'esea, N. J.
by the Associa ted Press,


ANdLESEA. N. j.. November l.
Eleven fishermen are believed to have
been drowned by the upsetting of a
small motor boat in the southeast
storm that prevailed along -the New
Jersey coast. One fishing boat is
missing. The sea tragedy was not
discovered unit two bodies were
washed ashore near the Cold Spring
coast guard station. and the finding
early today OF an upturned boat. s.
The two, fishing boats left Anglesea
yesterday in the teeth of the rising
storm for the fish ponds about ten
miles off shore.
The Boats belonged to the Hilton &
Milton Fish Company, which is a part
Of the Consolidated Fisheries. The
fishing season here had ended and
boats were engaged during the last
week in lifting nets. The Hilton
boats were the first to do this and
had reached the point where they
were ready to pull the poles which
hold up the nets.
Boats Lashed Together.
This task. required by federal regu-
lations, is for two boats, lashed to-
gether. to beat out to sea and pull ZIP
the poles. 1t was on this task that
Capt. Dummy Johnson of Angelesea
and his crew of ten in the two boats
set out yesterday.
What happened from the time the
fishermen left until the bodies were
washed ashore and the wreck of one
of the boats came up on the beach
at Anglesea is not known. but fisher
men here could well ina gine.
The~>wind continued to rise after
the boats went out, and when they
did not return late yesterday a search
was made. without result. No grave
fears were entertained. for fishermen
are often blown out of their course
and land at other places. That a trag-
edy had occurred was not realized un-
til the bodies of two of the men,
Charles and Richard Stevenson,
brothers. of Dennisyille. N. j.. came
ashore.
+ Fishermen believe that the lashed
boats could not beat back together in
the gale. that the lashings were cut
from the boat that carried the poles
and that the, eleven men then tried
to come ashore in one boat. ,
TIE boats used in this work are
forty feet long, six or seven feet
beam and have twenty-horsepower
motors.
