Wisconsin To Vote On Beer

Madison, Wis.-After many weeks
of uncertainty Wisconsin's opportu-
nifty to express its convictions on
modification of the Volstead act ap-
peared assured. The state supreme
court refused to grant an injunction
to prevent the question of modifica-
ton being submitted to the people at
the election, November 2. In the face
of the court action Secretary of State
Fred R. Zimmerman already has or
dered the question placed on the bal
lot. The voters will be permitted
simply to express their opinion on
whether congress should amend the
volstead act to legalize 2.75 per cent
beer with the provision that the bev
erage should not be consumed on the
premises where purchased.

He smiled family as he looked ut

The black death-hood had hung
from his neck. Then it was pulled
over his disarranged hair. The
moose was slipped tightly about his

"What nerve" whispered a
spectator, as Whittemore gave his
last good-by.
Mencken There
II. J.. Mencken, magazine editor,
who was among the spectators,
turned to the man beside him.
"There are mighty few witnesses
here who could have spoken any

There was new stir on the illum-

Guards about the prisoner stepped
back, leaving Whittemore standing
on the steel trap. One walked to
an adjoining room where the lever
springing the trap is located.
The trap was sprung at 1907

With his death, the last but one

was all he had to say as he stepped
to the gallows in the presence of
a roomful Of disinterested witnesses.
He was. alone as far as human
sympathy was concerned, for his
wife and relatives had been barred.
Whittemore died for the murder
of Robert Hoffman, a guard at the
Maryland penitentiary here. He
killed Hoffman while escaping last
year and was caught after a series
of robberies and crimes that stirred
the East by their daring and
success.
promptly as the clock pointed to
midnight, and it became Friday, the
18th, guards entered Whittemore'
cell. He was handcuffed and led to
the death chamber.

The narrow, whitewashed room

was only one cry-from the prison
ers' cells-as the trap was sprung.
Whittemore's calmness at his ex-

since he was found guilty of Holt
mans murder. He was visited in his
cell by the Catholic and Protestant
chaplains Of the penitentiary, but
merely listened to them politely. He
