LOVE FIRM AS GIRL PREPARES TO MEET DEATH Doris M'Donalri and Husband Resume Writing Week Before Hanging. r.’J United Pres* MONTREAL, March 16.—Doris McDonald, young American girl, is preparing for death. One week from today she will mount the gallows at Valley Field, Quebec, and pay with her life for the murder of Abelard Bouchard, a taxi driver. George, her husband, will die by her side for the same crime. All hope for a commutation to life imprisonment vanished for the pretty murderess when the provincial authorities here petitioned the minister of justice in Ottawa to allow the law to take its course. Girl’s Gayety Gone With the last chance broken, all the buoyancy and gayety of the girl; ebbed away. Today her laughter I isn't heard in Fullum St. jail, for I Doris is embracing religion and spends much of her time praying with nuns. In Bordeaux, Quebec, a few miles away, George McDonald is jesting at death. He smiles, jokes with guards and draws his hand across his throat where next Friday a noose will snap his neck. At Valley Field the twin gallows are being painted red in preparation for the execution. A coroner has been notified to be ready to conduct an inquest. Canada's official hangman has signed the documents which bind him to be ready to do his work when summoned. Deaths to Be Business-Like Doris and George ’are going to a ; business-like death. Officials have ordered that all elements of sensationalism and drama be eliminated. To that end every one will be barred from the execution except the necessary prison officials. The official jury which will view the bodies after the hanging will not be allowed to witness the ex- j ecution. George and Doris have resumed their correspondence. They quit writing for a while, after a report was circulated that he would confess and take all the blame in an effort to save his young wife’s life. “They love each other profoundly,” said a nun in Fullum Street .fail.

Plant Shrubs to Produce Forest Like Effect Urged

George Morgan Appeals to Home Owners for Care in Landscaping. This is the third of a series of lntcrdcut George Morgan on spring planting appearing in The Times. Arrangements of shrubs and shade trees is a perplexing problem for the average planter, says Assistant Park Superintendent George Morgan. "Nothing could look more unnatural than shade trees placed in a row. Such arrangement will not produce the forest like effect that is so desired. A few simple rules aid in securing satisfactory results,” said Morgan. Here are a few rules for trees: Plant wherever you think it will serve a desired purpose. Do not place trees directly in front of the house, as ;his obstructs the view from within and places the house from a disadvantage from without. Frame the view toward the house, adding prominence and beauty to the dwelling. Group the varieties. Plant Away From House Place the heaviest plantings toward the outer portions of your plan so that they will appear related to the shrubbery plantings. Do not place trees too near the house. Plant so that every portion of the lot secures shade part of the day and on the other hand so every portion receives sunlight. “A practical way to work out the above suggestions is to place stakes to represent trees, moving them around until the arrangement desired is secured, keeping in mind that they are the most important part of your planting and the most difficult to change if not coriect,” Morgan said. Avoid Soft Wood “Avoid planting soft wooded varieties as they are short lived,” advised Morgan. “Soft types are a source of worry when they reach maturity because of their lack of resistance to heavy winds. Insist on good specimens, with heavy fibrous x-oot system free from insects and disease. “In planting dig the hole of sufficient size to accommodate the root, system. Before placing in hole prune off all mutilated ends and broken parts. Plant about one inch deeper than the trees stood in the nursery row. Air Pockets Dangerous “Fill with good soil until twothirds full and water well. Do not mound up dirt around them. “In planting be sure that dirt is well packed around roots and under crown of plant, leaving no air pockets, thus preventing drying out of roots after the plant is placed in the soil. “Reduce the top materially at the

time of planting to conform and balance with the root system. In planting shrubs the arrangements should be so that there is something blooming on your place through the entire season. Patchwork Spoils Effect Rules for planting shrubs: Group the varieties. Unless absolutely necessary do not use less than five of any one variety, thus avoiding a patchwork of color. Carefully avoid planting of any shrub that will break up open expanse of lawn. Screen out all objectionable objects. Avoid monotony by choosing plants of varying heights, foliage and habit of growth. Avoid covering of foundation with all growing types. Endeavor to arrange groupings so that they will harmonize with one another. “It is best to prepare the entire area, cultivating the ground thoroughly to remove foreign substances. Good soil should be packed around the roots, the tops being reduced materially at planting time," Morgan said. “Be sure to get good specimens and mulch well with well rotted manure. Keep well watered first season.” Plants should be “healed in” and watered if they are not to be planted at once. SEEKS SAFETY IN JAIL Drunk, Fearing Eight, Given Cell for Night. BINGHAMTON, N.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OHIO LABOR IS LINING FORGES AGAINSTWILLIS Record as Governor, Stand in Senate, Reasons for Opposition. Hi / Times Special WASHINGTON, March 16.—Organized labor in Ohio is setting about quietly to defeat the ambitions of Senator Willis, outstanding political fact of the week in the realm of organized labor. According to reliable information here, the Ohio labor organizations have taken no official action, but are conducting a quiet fight on Willis. Labor officials here have made no official announcement regarding the Ohio situation, and labor officials either profess to know nothing of the development, or decline to be quoted. Out After Opponent The reason for this is believed to be that Ohio labor is not openly out for Hoover in the Republican column, but is contenting itself with getting rid of an opponent. But whatever the explanation, the word is going down the line in Ohio to “defeat Willis.” Hostility shown to labor by Willis while he was Governor and his stand on labor measures in the Senate are privately given as the reasons for opposition Records of Ohio labor show that Willis tried while Governor to destroy the workmen’s compensation machinery of the state and that he obtained a ruling from his attorney general which permitted private insurance companies to enter the State writing compensation insurance in competition with the State fund. Appointments Disliked This gave James M. Cox one of his leading issues in his first campaign for the governorship, his pledge having been to restore the exclusive State fund. Willis, while Governor, is said also to have made a number of appointments opposed by labor, principally on the industrial commission. Motorist Held After Tragedy Tin Time* Special VINCENNES, Ind..
