MURDERER GIVEN CHOICE,
PICKS LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Spaniard i'm Ohio Had First Asked for
Death-Will Spend a Solitary
Month Yearly.

Canton, Ohio, March 21.--Jose Fer
nandez Ferry, aged 20, native OF
Spain, confessed murderer of Mrs
Elizabeth Rich. decided to serve the
rest of his natural life in the state
penitentiary at hard labor when the
choice was given him here yesterday
of life Imprisonment or death in the
electric chair.
1t is probably the first time in the
history of the state that any first
degree murderer has had such a
choice. At first Ferry demanded
death as his fate, but later, after a
conference with his attorneys, elected
to take the life sentence.
In pronouncing sentence the court
imposed the condition that beginning
on the morning of the anniversary Of
his crime each year he shall spend an
entire month in solitary confinement.
Mrs. Rich and a three year old son,
Dan, were shot and killed; Peter
Rich, another son, aged IS, wounded
in the leg, and her husband, Dan
Rich, beaten and slashed by Ferry,
who invaded the Rich home on the
night of December 80 last in jeal-
Gus rage as a climax to his confessed
intimacy with Mrs. Rich.

ENGLAND WANTS TO
TAX HER GAMBLERS
Government Looks to Winnings on

Sources,

London, March 2l.--Thc consist
emily hard up British government, al
ways seeking fresh ways and means
to replenish its Golfers, Is said to be
casting covetons eyes on the huge
sums of money known to be changing
hands constantly in England through
betting transactions.
The chancellor of the exchequer n
short time ago requested the quiet
islands of Jersey and Guernsey, and
the Isle OF Man, to contribute much
more generously to the expenses OF
the empire than has been their habit,
will refuse. But something like $780,
100000 n year Is lost and won by
British bettors. according to the es-
Inmates, and good round tax on this
sum would produce tidy revenue.
AL would be relatively easy for the
treasury We're II not for the dscon-
certing fact that to tax betting would
legalize the practice, step which
would create an uproar from all sorts
and conditions of people throughout
the country.
There are nearly 10000 bookmak-
ers in England who handle this $780,
900 each year, not only for bets
placed on horse races. but on foot
ball games and dog races. The bet
ting fever pervades not alone the big
clubs in London, but practically every
factory in England. 1t Is even said

KENS|NGTON ROAD
MAY BE IMPROVED
Direct Route TO Meriden Would
Be Boon TO Traffic

An effort is now being made bs
residents along the road between
here and Kensington to have the state
highway as a state-aid road, In this
project they should have the assist
ance of Meriden and New Britain, be-
cause the Improvement of that road
so it can be used by motorists would
make saving in distance between
the two cities and 1t would materially
help the traffic situation In both cities,
At present motorist going from
New Britain, or any of the places
north of that city to New Haven or
any OF the short resorts. drives across
to the main state road and down
through Meriden. If this Kensington
road were put into shape. there would
be straight highway from the Gen.
tor of New Britain to the corner of
West Main street and Capitol ave-
nue. in Meriden.
Another Traffic Route,
A south bound vehicle from there
would drive through Bradley avenue,
which is to be paved this summer, to
the Hanover road, and then to the
main iohi az EAIIIlels ipIHeI. 4 lie use
of that route would reduce the num-
Der OF vehicles passing through the
center of the city on the state road,
and help materially in relieving traf-
tic congestion.
Arch street in New Britain is in
straight line with the Kensington
road, and is improved to the New
Britain town line. This Kensington
road is a straight continuation of
Capitol avenue in Meriden, so there
could be no more direct route between
the two cities.
Help New Britain Too.
A portion of the traffic entering
New Britain from the south would
come over this road and thus Arch
street in that city would take some
of the vehicles that now crowd South
Main street.

Bristol went through New Britain and

it to Deer island, where they anchored
the carcass. They staked their claim
