WOMAN. HANGED
FOR MURDER OF
HER LANDLADY
Mother Of Three Children,
One of Them a Baby, Pays
Supreme Penalty

Manchester, England, June 24.-(R
Inside the gray walls of. Strange.
way jail, womaf-the mother OF
three children. one of them q baby
was hanged this morning,
Mrs. Louise Calvert. SO. was exc.
cuted for strangling her landlady
Mrs. Lily Waterhouse, and then rob.
bing her.
Thousands>o of persons had petition.
ed the home secretary, Sir William
Joynson, Hicks, for clemency. Sil
William said he found no ground
which would Justify him in advising
the king to interfere with the due
course OF the law. Among the most
energetic In circulating petitions was
Mrs. Calvert's- husband. from whom
she was separated at the time Of the
murder.
The last execution of a woman IN
England was in 1928, when Mrs.
Edith Thompson. convicted with
Richard F. Bywaters, was hanged for
completely in the murder Of her hus-
band.
Although Mrs. Calvert maintained
her innocence until the eleventh
hour, it was understood that she
made a full confession Of the crime
just before being led to the scaffold.
The condemned woman saw her
baby boy Monday after which she
was visited by several relatives. Her
husband and her six-year-old son,
Kenneth, bade her farewell last light.
The little boy was not aware of the
grimness Of his visit and was over
joyed to see his mother.

BISMARCK TO
HAVE PART TN
CELEBRATION
Two Programs Are Arranged
Locally For American In
dependence Week

Bismarck will have its part in the
celebration of American independence
Week, June 28 to July 5, according
to Mrs. Florence Davis, who is con-
nected with the state historical
library and has been named chair
man of the local committee in charge
OF arrangements for the celebration.
Justice John Burke has been ap-
pointed by Mrs. Davis as treasurer.
Other committee appointments will
be given out later.
The purpose of the celebration is
two fold. The first purpose is to
bring back to the minds of the
American people, the Importance of
the declaration Of independence. The
second purpose is to do honor to the
author Of the declaration, Thomas
jefferson. 1
Two Anniversaries
The two purposes coincide strangely.
The week will commemorate the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the, adoption Of the declaration Of
Independence, and the Tooth anniver-
,sary of the death of Thomas Jeffer-
son.
President Calvin Coolidge is the
national head Of the committee in
charge of the work.
During independence week, it is
hoped that the people of the United
States will make offerings to the
fund being raised to restore Jeffer-
sons home, Monticello, and keep it
hereafter as a national patriotic
shrine, Mrs. Davis says.

Speakers at Custer Memorial
Exercises to Review the

-, Civilization rode into North Dakota
on the railroad.
Even as late AZ 1870. nine years
after Dakota Territory had been or
ganized, the population was but 2,4OO,
mainly traders along the river routes
who sold goods to the forts for a
livelihood. The savage, protected by
treaty, was sovereign. Thirteen years
later the Atlantic and Pacific had
been linked with rails Of steel; the
Indians had been subdued and were
living peaceably on reservations; set
tiers were rapidly claiming the
> prairie for their own.
The progress Of the past half CEN
tury in North Dakota, made possi-
BILE because of the railroads, will be
reviewed at the Custer Memorial ex-
ercises at old Fort Abraham Lin
coin, six miles south of Mandan, next
Sunday afternoon. Prominent rail-
road officials, representatives of the
war department, and speakers of ma
tional note will be present to join
North Dakotans In the exercises.

early as 1863 men were dreaming of
an overland route to Oregon and Cal

direction Of Governor !. !. Stevens in
1865, however, crystallized these
dreams into reality.
Edwin +. johnson, civil engineer,
mapped out a plan on which Thomas
II. Garfield was able to get . char

the Northern Pacific railway, in lieu
of money, every other section of land
over an irregular strip eighty miles
wide extending from st. Paul to
Seattle. Stock sales were secured by
this land. In the panic Of 1873 the
road was saved by its land sales
after it faced disaster in the failure
Of the Jay Cooke company, which
financed the building of the road
The road was begun 20 miles west
Of Superior, Wisconsin, crossing the
Mississippi river at Brainerd, Minn.,

years until its reorganization in 1879.

was, emo, there is nothing permanent
in the world except change"

rare than thought really new.
Our thought grows opt of old

we think it new. The patent office
is bothered by geniuses seeking to
patent old ideas.
A real new Thought Is known by

LETTER FROM
POLICE CHIEF
ISINTRODUCED
Pittsburgh Officer Is Alleged
to Have "Instructed'
Members of Force

Washington, June 24--(AP)--A let
ter in which Peter r. Walsh, Pitts
burgh superintendent Of police, ain
structed" members of the force tina,
two expect large mapority in theil
respective districts for the Pepper
Fisher ticket" in the recent Pennsyl
vania primary was produced today
before the senate campaign funds
commission.
The letter was read by Chairman
Reed, after Walsh himself, called te
the stand as q surprise witness, hac
insisted that no one asked him to sup.
port the Pepper-Fisher coalition, anl
that he made no effort to cline VI
the force" for the nomination of Sen.
ator Pepper and the election Of John
S. Fisher for governor.
The police superintendent acknowl.
edged his signature at the end Of the
letter, but said it had been sent only
to the detective bureau.
Large Majority Wanted
As read by Chairman Reed, the let.
ter was addressed to the chief of de-
tectives and said:
with reference to the attached
list of employees under your command
you will instruct them that we expect
a large majority in their respective
districts for the Pepper-Fisher ticket
tomorrow"
When he>had read the letter, Reed
asked:
"Do you want to tell the committee
now that you did not mean to send
the police into this campaign to work
for the Pepper-Fisher ticket?"
"No, sir, / did not" said Walsh.
Denies Violating Law
Senator King, Democrat, Utah,
drew from Walsh the statement that
he had talked to individual police
men, told them he was for the Pep
per-Fisher ticket, and said he hoped
they could see their way to 20 along.
But the witness insisted he had not
directed the police how to vote.
"You are not very frank with this
committee King finally said.
"I'm as frank as | can be- the
police chief protested.
"The police are under civil SER
vice!'
"Yes."
"Then you knew you were violat-
ing the letter and the spirit of the
law when you instructed the police
how to vote, and should be removed" -.
"No sir, did not think was vio-
lating the law as I only asked them
to vote for the Pepper-Fisher ticket"
