Washington. Jan. so.--Nearly a
 dozen new centers for citizens mill
 tary training camps are under con-
 slderatlon by the War department

 men will be given training in va-
 rlous parts of the country during the months of June. July and Aug
 ust at an estimated cost of s2,5OO.- | 900.
 In addition to the camps utilized

 course by correspondence during the winter months for those who attend the camps in summer. Win ter training. in connection with the citizens military trainng camps, is now provided in law, but the de- mand has not as yet pushed 1t for ward to realization.
 Captain c. c.

WHIP.WOMEN IN
 LONDON PASSING
Ancient Concessions Being
 Abandoned in Auto Age

London, Jan 30. - The whip women of covent Garden are going to abandon the precincts of this famous produce market for the same reason that the village black smith is becoming an automobile salesman. The whip-women are among the picturesque denizens that go along with this most pie turesque market square, and for the last 300 years an unbroken line of members of their families have checked the whips of the produce growers who frequent this market.
 This concession of whip check ing, which has supported many families. for so long time. was granted to six ancestors of the pres ent-day whip-women in the six teenth century when Covent Gar den was really a convent garden of the Monks of Westminster, outside which the farmers brought their garden truck to sell. In that cen- tuGy ldll d uOLSh "VillSh tooh charge of the whips of the farmers to keep them from the hands of thieves, and collected penny from the owner at the end of the day. The number of whip-women has grown to 12 because some women left their share of the concession to two daughters, but even though the price of checking whips is now three pence, the whipwomen of to- day cannot make a living, they say.
 The women decided recently to ask the authorities to grant them the right to ask sixpence for their custodianship, but the authorities refused. At meeting they decided to let the whip thieves have the up- per hand.
 Shortly the familiar figures of the whip-women will disappear from Covent Garden just as the horse and the street criers have disappeared, and In their place will be several hobbies who are to be assigned to look after the safety of the whips.

The edifice was neglected during the war. the revolution, and the period of imitation.
 Ulm cathedral, which Is capable of holding 3o,ooo people, was begun in 1877 and the work was carried, on at intervals till the 16th century. It was by no means completed then, but for several centuries was left In it's unfinished state. Work was re- sumed in 1S44 and completed in 1890.

DEATH SENTENCE
 GIVEN MURDERER
Williams Guilty Of Staying
 NieceS in New Brunswick

Fredericton, N. B., Jan. 3o.--After deliberating ten minutes, jury yes- terday found Harry D. Williams guilty of the murder of his two hall nieces, Cynthia and Necia Foster, IA and 10 years old, at Baskerville, last November 25. Justice Le Blanc sentenced Williams to be hanged on April 23.
 Efforts were made by counsel for Williams to establish insanity as defense, but the jury last Monday decided that he was sane. Wil- Hams, called yesterday as the last witness for the defense, refused to take the stand.
 The two girls were found mur' dered in 8 cabin occupied by Will Hams at Fosterville, on the Maine- New Brunswick border. on the night of November 25.
 Discovery of the double murder was made by Ward Foster, father of the children, when they failed to re- turn to their home.

PANESE MOBILES MAY LOSE POWER
Reform Bill Would Reduce Au-
 thority Of House Of Peers

Tolsio, Jan. 30.--The reform of the House of Peers probably will be the most important problem to come be- fore the Diet at its impending ses- sion. The reform bill probably will come up in March and, according to the Japanese press, may create the gravest crisis that the coalition gov ernment has faced.
 At present the House of Peers has virtual control of the Diet and can block the lower house on any point A change in the powers of the two houses will be attempted. The essen- tial objective, however is change in the manner in which the member ship of the upper body is selected. At present half the members hold office by hereditary right, and the other half Is equally divided between those appointed for life by the em- 'peror and those elected by large property owners. The proposed re- form contemplates the reduction of the first half to about one third of the membership, to be elected by peers from among their ranks, and reduces the imperial appointees to the same number but for terms of only seven years. The remaining seats would be elective.
