great and only Hall, a thin, pale,
grizzly speciman of humanity by
no means dangerous looking
man at the same time bearing a
repulsive look. The hearts of the
lookers-on were touched by the
realization that this was the last
look into the great world through
those small grey eyes, which
glistened and blinked in the I'M
accustomed light of day.
The man seemed to realize his
position, and while we stood al
most breathless with expecta-
ton, he was apparently intent
only upon one thing, and that
was to look long, lingering look
At sun. and stream and plain,
AS what he ne'er would see
again. Q
Then after probably five min
utes of suspense and silence Hall
turned away without word to
the crowd and was lost in the
gloom Of the Jail again.
The corporal of our little squad
of news-gatherers then marched
us to the pen or board inclOsure
around the scaffold and there
we stood with bated breath and
quickened pulse awaiting the
crack of doom for Hall.
Soon the clank of chains an

cession and slowly and mourn
fully came the little band, Capt.
Bullitt in advance, then the pris-
oner with the sheriff on one side
and Father Lynch on the other.
Handcuffed and with chains on
his feet, the unfortunate man
walked to his death with steady
though not strong, step up the
rough stairway to the moose and
the trap. AS he started up the
steps one of the guards dropped
his gun and seized Halls hands
with the exclamation: Good bye,
TAFT old boy; is it all right with
you?" The answer came in a low
voice, eyes, it is all right" Stand
ing on the trap he asked to see
his sister, Mrs. Bates, and the
old lady came in, walked up the
steps unassisted and shook Halls
hands as they We're manacled be

this scene, the sister having a

Woman Wins Suit
On Irving Berlin Film
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mar. 4.-Federal Judge
George H. Moore, in finding of
plagiarism against Twentieth Gen.
tury-Fox Film Corp, ruled today the
movie, Alexander Ragtime Band"
was based on an unpublished novel
written by Mrs. Marie Cooper Oehler
Dieckhaus, now living in Casper,
Wyo.
The judge said Mrs. Dieckhaus was
entitled to damages for use of the
book, Love Girl" the amount to be
fixed by special commissioner Her
attorney, who said the movie
crossed In excess of $4,000, 900, .
said he expected the decision would
be appealed by the film company.
Mrs. Dieckhaus, who said she
began writing the novel in 1925 and
completed it in 1894, testified she
submitted the manuscript to Holly
wood literary agents In 1897 The
movie was issued in 1898. Twentieth

Senator Smith Urges
Defeat Of Roosevelt
By Electoral College
By the Associated Press.

Senator Smith, Democrat, OF
South Carolina, proposed yesterday
that antiadministration Democrats
work together to name uninstructed
members to the electoral college
and get real honest-to-God Con-
stitution-Loving Democrat in the
White House"
1--WE ought to have a man in there
vino will not only look after the
welfare of the Nation, but who will
take care of the sovereignty of the
States and above all the sovereignty
of the individual" declared Senator
Smith.
The South Carolinian said voters
in the South are not going to go
Republican this year, but he de-
clared there is no reason why they
have to instruct their electors to
support Mr.. Roosevelt, should he
become the Democratic nominee.
Suppose the Democrats in States
representing about 300 electoral
votes feel the same way about it,
he said. 'It only takes 266 electoral
votes to name the next President" "
Even If that many anti-Roosevelt
Democrats could not be found, Sem
ator Smith argued that enough un-
instructed electoral college members
could be named to keep either regu-
lar candidate from getting a clear
majority, thus throwing the election
into the House, where each State
would have one vote only in selec-
ton Of the Chief Executive.
Senator Smith said he had "a
strong feeling" that some such de-
velopment was likely this year.

Make Capital of Situation.
Traditionally Republican, Mid
western farmers swung over to Mr.
Roosevelt in 1882, a year marking
the depths Of agriculture's worst
depression, and supported him again
In 1885. Although the Democrats
won big share of the Midwestern
States in 1910, farmer support of the
party was by a narrower margin. Ir
the 1912 congressional elections anc
in subsequent special elections, Re
publicans have staged significant
victories.
This change has been attributed
by leaders of both parties to farmer
dissatisfaction with the admins
traitors farm policies, particularly
its wartime policies. Hence. the Re-
publicans are anxious to capitalize
on the situation.

Easing Peace Terms
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 4.-Finlan d
may ask the United States to
intervene for mitigation of Rus
sian peace terms, it was learned
today, but it is believed such a
plea would be rejected with
sympathy"
This view was based on the con-
viction that the Soviet Union dis
closed its terms to the American
State Department., as well as the
British government, before making
them public-even though the Uni
ted States is not at war with Fin
land.
Russia's action in pressing its
demands, with Britain's unofficial
but nonetheless firm backing, in
dicated it was likely that America
took the position it was not seek
ing the role of arbiter.

termination of hostilities," Act

"At present, I am not planning
any journey anywhere" Juho K.
Paasikivi, Finnish representative in
the 1910 peace negotiations, said in
Helsinki, commenting on a report
in the Stockholms Tidningen that
he would return soon to Stockholm
with Finland's reply to Russian
peace terms.
The Finnish Diet is reported pre-
pairing to meet Tuesday to discuss
the latest developments in connec-
ton with the Russian armistice
terms. Finnish party leaders are
said to be touring the country,
sampling public opinien concerning
the Soviet demands.
A foreign Office spokesman in Hell
slnki said today that nothing SEN
satlonal is expected this week end"
He also denied rumorS that Mos
COW had set time limit for Fin
lands answer, but indicated peace
terms meant that Finland would
not be allowed to daily long before
making up her mind.
New Terms Reported.
The Helsinki correspondent of a
Stockholm newspaper said earlier
in the day that the Finnish gov
ernment has received new infor-
nation regarding the armistice
terms and discovered a way of re-
opening the negotiations. The
Stockholm Dagens Nyheter said the
Finnish Parliament had rejected
Soviet demands for internment of
German troops in Finland and
restoration of the 1910 boundaries.
The Finnish Minister to Berlin,
Toivo Mikael Kivimaki, was ex-
pected in Helsinki next week. 1t
was officially stated he was return
ing to attend the funeral of Pehr

president, but it generally was be-
lieved his trip had a greater sig
nificance.

The petition calculated $30, SOC, 900

During 1943, according to the

In 1912"
For their authority to intervene,
Mr.. Bowles and Mr. Vinson pointed
lout reduction of excessive utility
frates is an essential and integral
part Of the national policy of eco
nomic stabilization as recognized by
the President in an executive order
of April 8, 1913"
Calls for Temporary Order.
| Since the statute which governs
the power and duties of the Com
mission provides that all charges
shall be just and reasonable, and
that every unreasonable rate is un-
lawful and prohibited, the commits
sion should, on the basis of the
earnings set forth above, cause this
matter to be heard at an early date
and issue temporary or immedi-
ate order which would remove such
unreasonable rates as required by
statue the petition said.
Where especially in view of the
exigencies Of wartime stabilizatior
and the need to keep down the cost
of living, it becomes necessary anc
proper to issue temporary rate orders
without awaiting the completion OIL
a protracted investigation, resort tc
historical and original cost in ap.
propriate and is fair to both the
riders and the investors"
