on Their Plan.
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Topeka, Feb. 22.@Kansas state
Democratic convention met this
morning but during the morning ses-

favors another convention late in the
spring. As compromise is sug-
gested a convention in April at
Wichita or Hutchinson. No decision
is in sight on any important point.

ing on, under stream of cold water,
and that several of the men died from
the effects.
One of the privates whose death
resulted from such actions, Elliott said,

proved fatal, the witness testified, was
a man sixty years old, named Jones.

an American soldier on the Chateau
Thierry battle front was described by
George Yarbrough, a high school
teacher at Roanoke, Ala. While the
battle was going on, Yarbrough said,
he saw a white youth about 20 years
old led out of the lines and shot down
by a firing squad commanded by a
major.
Regarded by the committee as prob

trial Yarbrough, himself a reluctant
witness, declared the sight OF the man
being led to his death with hands tied

the moment the screening OF enemy
shells flying overhead. The witness
said he was close enough when the
officer commanding the squad gave
the order to fire to hear the soldier,
barely 20 years old, plead to be per
mitted to die with his eyes unbound.
The boy couldn't have had trial"
Yarbrough declared, for the fight was
raging and there was no time" Var
brough said the body was just lett
in a heap where it fell" Other soldiers
told him, the witness said that the
soldier was shot for laxity to duty.
Saw Three Executions.
Additional testimony was given to-
day that more hangings than two the

clared.

Fourth street, Des Moines, Iowa, tes-
tilted he also saw three men hanged
