Says, of Charges That He

CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-W. E. d.

New York, who is under indictment
here for conspiracy to defame the
character of his second wife, the

today in his suite at the Congress

BIZ II am not letting that worry

Stokes is accompanied by a
trained nurse and his woman secre-

after arriving, and said he planned

EFFORT TO ABOLISH
DEATH PENALTY FAILS
Laborites Make Unsuccessful At.
tempt to Moderate Military
Discipline.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 2.-The British
Labor party fought unsuccessfully in
the House of Commons last night to
abolish the death penalty in the Brit
ish Army, an amendment introduced
by E. Thurtle, Labor member from
Shoreditch, to the annual army bill
being rejected by 500 votes to 156.
Thurtle argued that not one Aus
tralian soldier was executed during
the war, because the Australian gov
ernment would not allow it. He con-
tended that nobody would say that
the fighting of the Australians was
inferior to that of Canadians, Brit
ish, Irish or New Zealanders, because
they did not have the fear of the
death penalty.
Capt. r. Gee Bosworth, speaking
against the proposed amendment, said
that only 2S7 officers and men were
executed during the entire war. He
and other members testified to in
Vulnerable cases where officers try
ing offenders either minimized the
charges or overruled death sentences.
Sir Laming Worthington- Evans,
war secretary, said that only IL per
cent of the death sentences passed
during the war were allowed to stand.
The death penalty, he said, was in
tended less as punishment than as a
deterrent to others.

SALVATION ARMY'S
FUND GROWS $1,000
First Days Responses to Ap-
peal for $4,000 Are
Prompt and Generous.

Charitably inclined Washingtonians
Golfers of the Salvation Army yester-
day when it opened its campaign to
raise $4,000 to carry on the program
of relief work throughout the year. A
large portion of the money was COL
lected by the army workers who made
a canvass of the various office build
ings. Some of it came through the
mails.
Guests at the Evangeline residence,
1880 L street, 1t was announced to-
day, have pledged $1,000 to the fund,
bringing the total amount pledged %
$4,000. The advisory board for. the
drive, headed by Rudolph Jose, has
pledged $4,000. The Evangeline is
one of the self-supporting institutions
operated by the army, and is occu-
pied exclusively by working girls.
Gifts of Generous Size.
Adjt. Ernest r. Holtz, directing the
drive, is elated over the first days
results. Our first days money" he
said, "came largely from persons
we've helped in the past. They al
ways contribute among the first and
are most generous. We are certainly
encouraged when we receive letters
from persons who have been aided by
the army and who are thoughtful and
kind enough to send us money"
Some one signing himself ''E. A.
E." sent SIS and the following:
Deer Salvation Army,
Your surely is great,
/ usta be crooked
And now l is straight
Cause I stood on the corner
One Magnolius Day.
And Sang OBJ Your Songs
= And Learned How to Pray.
Dere's a Star in your crown
Up in Hebben Above,
And You're the Fondest Thing Round
That l ever heard Of
Another wrote this:
Dear Salvation Army: Enclosed am two bits
All / can spare from this pay,
Thirteen hundred and twenty Is all what I gifts
And I'm lucky to get that they say.
Twenty thousand letters appealing
for funds have been put into the
mails. The army workers also will
continue their house toulouse canvass
for contributions.
Further reports showing the scope
of the army's work, made public
today by Adjt. HolZ, showed that the
relief department last year furnished
free meals to 706 hungry persons
provided transportation for 427 per-
sons, provided S23 with clothes, III
with shoes, .4Sf with lodgings and
so with jobs.
Contributions to the fund should
be sent to Thomas Hickman, treas
urer, 607 E street.
