My appetite was very poor and I was unable to sleep we'll nights, on &C., count of the weak condition of my kidneys. as would have to get up quite often during the night. My wife also had been in . rundown condition and she tried Bon-Tone and got such good results that started taking it. have taken three bottles and those dreadful pains in my back are all gone now, constipation is a thing of the past and the tired feeling has left me en- .irely. I certainly feel much better in every way, as my appetite is 50 much better and now 70 to sleep and rest comfortably all night and feel full of pep and ambition in the morning.

on the edge of swamp far on the outskirts of . Rhode Island town. When Adams was found dead in his bed and she told her story of his habit of using chloroform to in- duce sleep. Medical Examiner Hen- ry N. Costello pronounced the death accidental. Two days later. when questioned by the Hartford police. she admitted that when she told the police she had never had any trouble with her husband, she was telling an untruth. This adpission paved tho way to her confession.
 Mrs. Adams Healthy
 Since she has been in jail she has gained II pounds and raised her weight from g to 100. She was fre- quently visited by her mother, Mrs. Joseph V. Story of Stoneham. Mass. and her sister. Marion. while she was in jail. These two women were present at the court proceedings to- day. having come to the city We'd nesday night to lend what assist ance they could to the eventual dis position of the case. For three days her lawyer had been trying to effect a disposition of the case that would be satisfactory to the state and the accused. In the meantime MT. AL corn had called grand jury to con- slider the case along with another murder case and had planned to await the outcome of the case before the grand jury before attempting a disposition of it.
 Mrs. Adams was assigned to the women's quarters at the state prison and will pass her daylight hours in the laundry. where Mrs. Archie Gulligan once worked, and where Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield. murderess. and Mrs. Pearl Oakea.

1.-two looking on. she faced Nr. Alcorn with an eyo of cold defiance when the states attorney ventured to sug- Eest that she had erred as her hus- band had.
 Alc0rn's Statement Adams had religion of his own, which he probably was entitled to follow if he saw fit." said MT. AL corn. He believed in Buddha. In religion he was an atheist. He had made some study of that mystic re- ligion, and followed 1t in its tenets. and to some extent in its teachinGs. I think he was the type of man who believed in free love. Adams was a man who drank to some extent. He had fondness for other women. So far as our inVestl- gation shows he did so to some ex- tent with other women, married and single. I do think, so far as he Is concerned. his wife erred in that re- | spect also"
 Leniency Plea
 In making his plea for leniency. MT. Freedman attempted to cast doubt upon the theory that when she applied the second chloroform- saturated handkerchief. she pro- vided the means of his death. The lawyer graphically recalled that Adams had been drinking and dancing that evening. before he threw the drug soaked handker- chief over his face with the gay remark, This is the nectar of the gods"
 "The whiskey. the dancing, all having it's physical effect upon the heart-whether or not the first handkerchief killed him, or the second handkerchief killed him. is of very serious doubt. Adams was immediately embalmed the next day Autopsy would help nothing, and it is extremely doubtful" Denies Murder Attempt
 "She never said that she finished her husband. never said that she finished him." declared Mir. Freed man referring to a statement in her confession. What she intended to say was that she gave him the sec- ond handkerchief to put him to sleep as he had requested of her and always wanted.
 T want to make this very em- phatic. That man was dead. abso- lutely dead. before the second handkerchief was applied. And if he was dead. she was carrying out his intentions"
 MT. Alcorn sought to refute statements of Mir. Freedman by a detailed reference to her own con- fession to the crime, and again he affirmed his suspicion of moral lapses on the part of Mrs. Adams.
 When it comes to the question of moral lapses between this young woman and her dead husband" he said, T reiterate, because we have the documentary proof, think that it is merely a question of degree. It is probably true that nothing good can be said about young Adams. but everything that is good cannot be said about young wom- an who applied the chloroform to her husband and snuffed out his life"
 Adams's Affairs Many
 Of the many affairs that Adams is reputed to have. as disclosed by his own voluminous correspondence and diaries. the most tragic is that he had with a bridesmaid at his wedding, who goes under the name of Jane" in his writings. This woman. a college girl, has child by Adams. according to her counsel. and now, sunk far down in the so- cial scale, is living with . laborcr

fallen asleep and it appeared the anesthetic was evaporating 50 rae idly that he would awaken. This oc- cured on the night of March 23 and next morning Mrs. Adams awoke to find her husband dead.
 Arraignn,ent Unexpected
 Suddenly and unexpectedly ar raigned in the superior court yester- day morning. Mrs. Olive E. Adams pleaded guilty to the staying and was sentenced on a charge of man. slaughter, by Judge Christopher L. Avery on the recommendation of States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn.
 II am glad that it is all over" the little woman. a direct descendant of the noted ssachusetts iurist, Jo- seph Story, told her counsel, Joseph M. Freeman, after she was sen- tenced.
 Admitted Taking Life
 One day after her Buddhist wor- shipping, free-love, whoppee-making husband was found dead in his bed at 16 Grand street from an over- dose of chloroform Mrs. Adams con- fessed to the police that she had re- moved the chloroformed saturated handkerchief he had applied to his face to induce sleep and substituted a second handkerchief. likewise sat- urated. to kill him. She had taken this step, she confessed, to bring to an end his relations with Miss Dor othy Collins of 1T Lancaster road, West Hartford.
 There is a public concern in this case" said MT. Alcorn. There is a public example in it. If there are other women whose husbands may be doing likewise they still have a right to live. and it ought to be made clear that the court of course, could not tolerate a crime of this kind
 Other Women Shielded
 'Send her to jail for a year, pleaded her attorney, MT. Freeman, in affirming that she was innocent of causing her husbands death. Then he told why he had permitted his client to plead guilty.
 There were so many women mix cd up with this man. so many de- tails, putrefying and stenching. some that she did not know about, and some that she did know about, that that is one of the reasons. the com polling reason for us making this plea. It is made so that the world won't know. so that her own child won't know. And many of these women who quake in their boots owe her deep sense of gratitude for making this plea, because of their worry and fear that they would be called as witnesses and their sins become known to the world and to their children"
 Woman COldly Defiant
 Throughout the statements of counsel, Mrs. Adams stood before the judge. looking straight and cold at him from under a black turban hat that matched the dark ensemble she had bought with her own money and hastily donned when word came to her at the jail to appear in court yesterday afternoon.
 Thus standing there. with only a few court attaches and a reporter or

When a man is losing he is not likely
to tip you. But when a man is VIM
ming he grows generous. II a big
spender comes into the house and be-
gins to win large money. it means
that he will leave a hundred dollar
bill, or more, with the table man who
had charge Of the game. Smaller
winners will give us from a dollar to
five on average winnings. Our salary
runs around $40 a day. but most deal
ers average about $3.50 a week when
tips are good. So you can see how we
feel about it. If YOU keep your eyes

SEEING THINGS

Aqua Caliente, Mex. July 23-The
modern day gambling parade Is
headed by women, SO I was told by
. gambling palace dealer here who
could easily have posed as the statue
Of immobility. He had no editorial
comments to make on his statement.
With the same impersonality that
marked his dealing. he was merely
passing on an observation.
They have not learned to plunge
as recklessly as those few men who
drop ten thousand or more in an
evening. but the total of their losses
is considerably greater than that of
the male total. To be sure. my friend
the dealer felt that they were not
often spending their own money. But
the woman gambler. he went on. is
generally q game loser.
The type Of woman who CANDLES
on roulette. cards or dice is the type
who CANDLES on life" he continued
philosophically. You can spot her
In . minute: that is. If you are inter
ested In such matters. And she's
harder to discourage than a man. A
man will walk to the bar and take
his drink and so to bed. Watch this
Casino night after night and you'll
find that q few women are the last to
1eave-1 mean. of course. on an aver
age. And when the games start IN
the morning, the first persons who
appear will be. almost invariably
women. They think their luck will
change over night. The male. per-
haps, has taken his licking and ap-
breaches cautiously"
The agility with which the modern
American woman has taken to the
wheels of chance has also. I was told
led her to want to participate as q
professional gamester. Any number
Of women have applied for jobs a

dent"-of Haiti and the State De-
p%artn1ent. For eight years, under
our treaty with Haiti, he has had
sway over that country's customs,
finances, police system. puhiic
works. agriculture and public healtn.
All American treaty officials, a.
recting these various branches OF
government, come under the gen
eral. Although an officer Of the
Marines he is not compelled to wear
a uniform and doesn't. He has bee
on the job for eight years n was
first appointed on the recommenda-
ton of a senatorial committee which
went to the island about 1920.
What appeared to be a demon
stration Of Russcll's power was
given las. wear when Senator King
Of Utah, who had criticized Ameri-
can occupation Of Haiti, was barred
from visiting the country by Presl-
dent Borne. While it could not be
shown that Russell had inspired
the ban, few failed to concede that
a word from him to Borno would
promptly have averted this aftront
10 an American senator.
With the benign though taclt
approval of Russell, free press and
free speech in Haiti have beer
pretty generally suppressed and
Rornc has TANNED through laws
extending his titular dictatorship
and affecting his domination Of the
Haitian courts, which we did not
take over under the treaty. Amerl-
can Marines long ago dissolved the
Haitian congress. so Russell hasn't
a representative legislative body to
contend with as has our governor
general in the Philippines.
Sympathetic. but Firm
State Department officials say
that Russell is very sympathetic
with the Haitians. has maintained
peace and order. built roads, estab-
lishcd agricultural schools, diversi-
fled crops, instituted sanitation and
health measures, maintained up-to-
date service on the debt and pro-
v!dcd more money for government
expenditures. The Marines had to
kill 1000 or 5000 Haitians for their
own good about ten years ago, but
such killings have not since been
found necessary.
There have been numerous COM
plants to the effect that American
rule has inflicted misery on the
mass Of Haitians - complaints in
variably denied. but enough to in
dictate that General Russell hasn't
introduced a millennium. Never
theless, he has fully demonstrated
what a %puissant person is an Ameri-
can High Commissioner. Under q
treaty extension, the Haitian job is
good until 1886.
