Mrs. Calvert Hanged
In British Prison
Despite Many Protests

Manchester, Eng, June 24-(P-
Inside the gray walls of Strangeway
Jail woman-the mother of three
children, one of them babe-was
hanged this morning.
She was Mrs. Louise Calvert. She
was executed for strangling to death
her 1andlady, Mrs. Lily 'Waterhouse,
and then robbing her. To the end the
condemned woman asserted that she
was innocent Of the crime. The hang
ing took place despite the fact that
thousands of persons by petition in
terceded with the home secretary, Sir
William Joynson- Hicks for clemen-
cy. To the appeals Sir William said
he found no ground which would JUS
tify him In advising the king to in
terfere with the carrying out of the
due course Of the law. Among those
most energetic in circulating the Pc
tition for reprieve was Mrs. CAL
vert's husband from whom she was
separated at the time Of the murder.
Mrs. Calvert was taken into Gus
tody April and the sentence of death
was imposed upon her May T. Prior
to being sentenced she appealed for
a stay Of execution on the ground
that she soon again was to become q
mother. A jury of women was i'm
panelled by the Judge. which is the
usual course in England, to investi-
gate the woman's claim. The medi-
cal evidence did not support it. Mrs
Calvert was 33 years old.
The Mst execution Of a woman in
England occurred in 1928. In that
year Mrs. Edith Thompson. convicted
with Richard F. Bywaters, was hang
ed for completely in the murder Of
her husband.

BRITISH HOUSE OF
LORDS ADAMANT
TO TIDE FEMINISM

London, June 24-[P)-The house
of lords still stands a-staunch bull
wark against the rising tide Of fem
inism that has threatened its his
toric threshold.
Stalwart peers. who are determined
to keep the upper house of parlia-
ment as last stronghold against the
entrance Of women, gathered in force
today and by en- Unexpectedly large
majority defeated Lord Astor's third
attempt to enable peeresses in their
right to sit and vote in the house of
lords.
Lord Astor, whose wife is one of the
best known of the feminine contigent
in the house of commons, argued that
it was only by an accident of birth
that the holders of the peerages I'M
der debate were women and not men.
He argued that most of the members
of the upper house sat there because
they happened to be the sons of their
fathers and without the slightest in
quiry as to their qualifications as
legislators.
For Heavens sake, let the males
have one place in the country where
they can live in peace" responded
Lord Bransbury.
Lord Newton said with all respect
he did not think that the middle
aged ladies eligible for seats under
the bill would prove great attrac-
ton. If the proponents of the meas
ure desired to entice reluctant young
bloods to attend the debates, he
thought 1t would be more efficacious
to introduce a number of chorus
ladies'.

Of the naval experts on disarma-

by the nations of continental Eu-
rope, who practically acted as a
bloc under the leadership Of France
and Italy.
This principle is known as COM
parison of the naval strength of the
various types of warships as for ex-
ample battleships.
At the forenoon session of the
naval experts who have under dis
cussion naval problems in prepare :
ton for an eventual international
disarmament conference, it was de-
cided that this was not possible

vote was II to 6 and at the after
noon meeting twelve nations. all
European, registered the opinion
that the Washington principle was
not fair or acceptable to all nations.
All the big naval powers, except
France and Italy, backed up the
American contention that class ton
mage should be regarded as the one
standard of the comparison OF
strength of the navies.

cial "wizardry' was shattered by

Mrs. Bange confessed that her OPP
erations totalled more than q quar-

furniture in luxurious apartment,
were negligible.

For Young TOOthaker

Boston. June "a. - t[P) - Two
youths Of Is, one the confessed
slayer Of policeman, today entered
upon life terms in Charlestown

sentence for robbery while armed
on Albert H. Deshon and John Rob.
ert Samburski. two of three boys
who We're tried recently for murder
for the shooting of Patrolman
Frank ]. Comeau, March "a. The
third defendant. Stanley B. Tooth
aker. was given six years in Con.

Deshon was convicted of man
slaughter while Sambursky and
Toothaker were acquitted. Shortly
afterwards Deshon and Sambusky
entered pleas of guilty to indict-
ments charging robbery while arm
ed and Toothaker pleaded guilty to
several counts Of breaking and en-
tering.
In imposing sentence on the three
young men Judge Fosdick said:
"The proper function of this court
is not to administer vengeance but
primarily to protect the public. Re-
formation Is by no means a con-
trolling factor in imposing sentence.
i Il am not going to be severe on
Toothaker but I am disposed to be
very severe indeed on the others. I
have not heard anything that makes
me think else than that these two
men are very dangerous to the pub
lie. They cannot be classed as
hardened criminals, but they have
no balance wheels, and it is my
duty to keep them from doing the
things their mindC g.
do"
Patrolrnan Comeau was shot
when he sought, to question eth
three youths regarding a stolen au-
tomobile. Deson admitted the shoot
ing but maintained it was accident
