Just Give a Job

IF you are satisfied with your pres
4 ent economic status aand want
the current arrangement to con-
tinue. please have the foresight
to ad q little to preserve 1t. But,
frankly, 1 take no interest in your
motives. Just give a job till June.
1t is perfectly true that if this
column could find ten jobs or 10000,
1t would solve nothing. Relief
should not be dependent upon the
enterprise of private citizens. Great
bodies move slowly. People are cold
and disheartened and hungry now.
Even if nothing more comes out
OF this than the one job nave
promised, that is just one better
than Eothing.
invite all people out Of work
who may happen to read this COL
umn to write to me in not more
than 300 words, stating what sort
of employment they are best suited
for. and what they will do in a
pinch. Please do not state race, re-
Igion, nationality or political be-
uefs. Unemployment is unemploy-
ment.
All letters will be regarded as con-
fdential. with the exception that l
might wish to quote from communi-
cations without giving names or ad-
dresses or anything else which
would serve TO identify the writer.
Send the letters to me. care OF the
Evening Telegram, New York.
I invite all people who are will
ing to give a job until June, at not
less than $50 a week, to write to
me. stating the nature of the work
which they desire to have done.
Naturally, in some cases the pay
should be. and will be. more than
the $50 minimum. Also, if the ar
rangement proves satisfactory ana
lasting. so much the better. June
merely is set as the minimum OBJ
legation.

the unusual plan Of Haywood

aid in relieving the unemploy-

far-fetched. fantastic, imprac-

A detective took fur-collared
woman with a gold tooth from the
city jail to a cell in the Marion
county jail today.
Only a few curious bystanders
watched the parade. The woman's
eyes were swollen with sleeplesSness
and tears of hopelessness.
A passing detective mumbled
aloud as the prisoner passed through
a city jail corridor, she's squawked

Miss Nettie Hayes, 43, of 239 North

of Wednesday when she confessed to
framing a $4,000 holdup on her
sweetheart, William Gerard, by lay

a one-time boarder at her home.
Held for Conspiracy
Ruddell and Wallace Preston,
1902 North Healing street, and Miss
Hayes, are held on charges of auto
banditry and conspiracy.
Joseph A. Price, Al, grocer at 1855
Grant avenue, was arrested by State
Policeman Charles Bridges as an
accessory. He is alleged to have
secreted $500 of Preston's share in
the loot.
"Ruddle planned it," accused Miss
Hayes as she rocked to and fro in a
chair in the matron'S room Of the
county Jail.
"They-the boys-that is, Rud-
dell and Preston-Were low in
money. Ruddell Che lived at my
home last October) came to me to

any to give him. I'd lent HIM SIS.

NEGRO FACES
EXECUTION IN
Chair TONIGHT
Leslie Unaware That Killer
Must Be EleCtroCuted
Before Friday.
ORDERS FRIED CHICKEN
Condemned Man Is Calm as
Final Effort Is Made
to Reach Governor.

Because Governor Harry G. Leslie
was unacquainted with provisions
of death sentence imposed on James
Britt, East Chicago Negro slayer,
Britt IS to die tonight without ac-
ton on his petition for commuta-
ton to life sentence.
The chief executive, yachting on
the Florida coast, was under inn
preston that his action at any time
Friday would precede BIRTHS execu-
ton at state prison, Michigan City,
Gaylord S. Morton, secretary TO
Leslie, declared today.
The death sentence stipulateS
Britt must go to the electric chair
before sunrise Friday, March 81,
Morton said.
Mind Made Up
Early this afternoon Morton had
been unable to reach Leslie, and
was pessimistic concerning success
of his efforts to obtain communi-
cation with the Governor before
Britt dies, shortly after midnight.
1t was understood. however, that
the Governor had made up his mind
not to interfere with the death PEN
atty.
Lieutenant Governor Edgar D.
Bush of the state has no power to
reprieve Britt while Governor Leslie
is absent from the state, Attorney
General James M. Ogden said.
Morton told newspaper men that
if word is not received from the
Governor before midnight, the ex-
ecution will proceed then, as
planned. rather than be postponed
until the last minute, Just before
dawn breaks.
Britt was convicted Jan. 6 of the
murder Of Sam Goldberg, Eaa
Chicago grocer. who appeared bHe.
fore federal grand jury to test fly
to alleged liquor and vice conditioEns
in Lake county.
Anticipation of a fried chicken
dinner that will be served the
condemned man at 7 p. m. APP
parently superseded all consideration
of the death penalty in Britt's mind
today, according to dispatches.
He displayed no nervousness as
the prison clock licked away his
last hours, and, when asked what
he would eat in keeping with the
tradition that doomed prisoner
may select the menu for the last
supper" Britt exclaimed:
Not Particular About Trimmings
Fried chicken"
He was not particular about the
trimmings"
At p. m. Britt was to go to the
prison barber shop for the head
shave that precedes execution.
The onjy persons who will Wit
ness the execution are Warden Wall
ter H. DAILY, two guards, the cleo
trician in charge of arrangements,
and two physicians, one of whom
will be DR.. P. H. Weeks, prison doc
tor.
The execution will set a new rec
ord for quick action in applying the
death penalty in Indiana, and win
be the first electrocution in the
state prison in almost two years.
Last to Die
John Hall, convicted of the MUIR
der Of Louis Kreidler, South Bend
druggist, was the last to die in the
Michigan City death chamber. He
was executed April 10, 1923.
Although there was 19l murder
in Indiana in 1919. to
none was affixed the death penalty.
Hall was the only prisoner to be
executed in 1923. One was electro
cuted in 1927, three in 1926 and two
in 1925.

IS DERAILED
Seventeen Cars Leav
Track Near Willow River
Saturday Night.
Cars Piled Up In A Heap;
Rails Split; Service
Restored Sunday.

a long through Northern Pacific
rate of speed was derailed a half mile
north of Willow River at just about
midnight, between Saturday and
Sunday. Seventeen cars went into the
ditch, Is of these were sondolas loaded
with coal. one was a gondola with pig
iron. and one was box car filled with
grain. The accident was caused by a
burnt out journal. The derailed cars
were toward the end of the train, not
far frome the caboose, and we're piled
up on both sides of the track. within
a short distance of the bridge over
Willow river. The main track as well
as the side track was badly torn up
and the cars were bent, twisted and
broken as if they were pieces of tin.
No persons were injured.
The local station agent at Willow
River. G. F. Hildebrandt. was i'm
mediately called, and word was dis
patched to Superior for the wrecking
crew and they were on the job within
a few hours, as was also the section
crews from the neighboring villages
of Moose Lake, Sturgeon Lake, and
FinlaNson- In all a crew of about 50
people were kept busy for several days
clearing away the debris and mending
the tracks.
On account of a burnt out bridge
near Osceola on the 500 Line the
trains from that line were running
over the N. p tracks for few days.
1t was however necessary for the Sat
urday night 500 Line passenger trains
between the Twin Ports and the Twin
Cities TO run over their own line by
way of Brooten, long ways around.
The main track had been repaired
so that the Sunday afternoon 500 Line
passenger trains went through at
about O'Clock and from then on all
trains were again running on sched-
ule. The Saturday night N. P. trains
Nos 65 and Sc were routed over the
Great Northern from Hinckley to Du-
luth.
The wrecking crew with two cranes
were expected to have all the wreck
age cleared away today. after which
the side track will be repaired.
