George F. Paker. J. 1. Morgan's successor as the dominating power in Wall st., and Dewi.s Cass ledyard, attorney for Wall st. interests, both directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, received a snub from tho interstato commerce commission today. They announced their presence to Commissioner McChord at the opening of the New Haven inquiry and requested that they be placed on the stand at the conclusion of William Skinner's testimony. Mr. McChorn rejected the request. "We aro unable to accommodate you," he said. "The inquiry must take its natural cour.se." Tho board of directors of the NewYork. New Haven and Hartford railroad reported to the road's stockholders that the company held $10,400.000 worth of securities of tho Pillard company when no careful appraisal had been made to determine the actual valuo of the securities. Skinner stated when he resumed his test! many. "Why were tho assets placed at that amount?" "I think tho interstate commerce peoplo or some, government officials who supervised the report directed us to do to." Asks Ilxplanatlon. Commissioner McChord n.sked for a clearer explanation of this statement and Skinner replied that he understood the government supervised tho making; of such reports in so mo way. "Why did you place this particular value upon the PUlard assets held by the New Haven?" "I suppose, that was all handled by the accounting department of the New Haven." "You made no personal investigation to determine the correctness of the statement?" "I think not." "Was that quite, fair to the New Haven stockholders to give them a report of holdings which you did not know to be correct?" "I think so." "Do von favor interlocking directorates?" "That depends upon the specific case. In tho instance of the NewHaven I could see no objection to it. It worked out very well with us." Knew Nothing of .Minutes. Willi.-un Nelson Cromwell, attorney for the New Haven directors, crossexamined Skinner regarding the report of President Mellen in . the minut s of the New Haven which had hern t halleivgod by Folk upon several preious occasions as being untrue.

REAL DISBARMENT SUIT ! F,LED BY ASSOCIATION

Davey in the superior court, the board of managers of the St. Joseph County I Jar association threw down the gauntlet to the federal prisoner at the county jail ThursJ day, tiled the report f the grievance committee, and will ask that Davey's lieenso to practice law be revoked on behalf of the bar. The maneuvering j of Davey, now represented by Thomas (Mini.- I.' f T tMeyer, is said to have induced this The proceedings would have been brought today, but Davey, learning that it was coming, slipped in ahttud of the managers, and petitioned to disbar himself. He said he wa-s innocent of the charges against him. but wanted to settle his status as a lawyer. Tho managers then asked to be made a party to the petition, which was resented by tho prisoner-lawyer. The sort of interpleader being filed on the theory that a lawyer could not petition to disbar himself, this resentment led to withdrawal from the case by the managers, followed by the action taken Thursday. "We will fight it out now." said a member of the board, commenting on the latest move. "We have temporized with Mr. Davey long enough. Mr. Davey will either be disbarred now, and disbarred on petition of the bar association, or we will know the reason why." TRIBUTE 10 SAILORS Dominion Government and the!

CHICAGO. Juno 4. Homer Rodeheaver, choir master for Evangelist Hilly Sunday, was presented with a bathrobe on (Christmas day three years .ago. The remembrance was given by Miss Georgia W. Jay, of Chicago, who Is now seeking $50,000 for breach of promise. Mr Kodeheaver told of the exchange rf presents in Judge Honore's court and said his gift consisted of a set of furs. Tho case, which has been dragging along for two weeks, took on added interest today when Kodeheaver took the stand to be cross examined. Mr. Kodeheaver's memory was a little hazy regarding some of the incidents of Christmas, 1911, but he denied anything was said that would cause Miss Jay to feel that he had "changed in his feeling toward her." "I had expressed my views on matrimony," began Kodeheaver. "Miss Jay and I went into the subject quite thoroughly. It was more than an ordinary friendlv feeling I held for her. I had been interested in her and she was an unusually good friend. "When the subject was being talked of I told her that persons thinking of getting married should understand each other well very well before :he step was taken." Thought $P Enough. "Was the subject of finances gone into?" asked Atty. Miller.

"Yes, sir; we talked of that and of, an approximate allowance a married f woman should have. I thought was nuite sut!' lent to enable a worn; to run her house each week. We talked of children In the home and I told of the importance of knowing beforehand just how necessary it was for persons contemplating marriage to thoroughly understand each other. "The talk was simply for getting Miss Jay's views, for I thought at that time I might at some date ask her to marry me." MEDIATION NOW VAITS ON GENERAL CARRANZA MEDIATION HEADQUARTERS, Clifton Hotel, Niagara Falls, Ont., Juno 4. Mediation in Mexico waited on the pleasure of Gen. Carranza today. That the success of the conferences here depend upon the will of the constitutionalists, as expressed through Carranza, was admitted by the mediators, the Huerta delegates and the American representatives. All agreed that mediation was a constructive operation in which the least Haw as to understanding and adherence to the plan of settlement would prove fatal. While they do not concede that Gen. Carranza is a necessary factor in reaching an agreement, they do point out that his refusal to grant an armistice and to submit to the advice of the conference will leave the Huerta government unable to carry out its pledge of pacification. PHILIPPINES PROPOSED Plan of Government Being Drafted Paves Way For Independence. WASHINGTON, Juno 4. That the bill dcalimr with the independence for the Philippine islands which Uep, Jones of Virpinia, chairman of the house committee on insular affairs, will introduce in the house, will provide for a territorial form of povernment in the island for the present, was asserted by Chairman Jones today. "While I cannot discuss the full details of the bill," said Jones, "it will provide for a form of liberal territorial government for the Philippines. The bill will plve them more control over their own affairs than they now possess and It is being; drafted so as to meet any justifiable objections. The democratic party is committed to the policy of Pdvinp: the Filipino his independence as soon as he is capable of maintaining; a stable form of government and this biil will give him the opportunity to show capacity for self government. I am tlrmly convinced that we should act on the matter at this session and shall press th bill." Jones added he apain will confer with Pres. Wilson about tho measure. The re-drafted bill, it was learned today, will name no fixed date for independence. It will, however, give the Filipinos an elective senate and hou.e of native islanders, with a governorgeneral retaining the veto power. A mfthod will be proposed prohibiting the enfranchisement of the semi-civilized tribes. DISMISS CASK AGAINST The case of Constantino asainst George Jacobs in JACOBS.

I While Thousands Protest, Three American States Are Preparing to Execute Women. Four women arc imprisoned in gloomy death cells In the! United States today, awaiting their execution. Three i states are preparing to make these f four women s children motherless, by legal murder! While sympathetic people mothers, preachers, reformers are petitioning that no woman be put to death, whatever her offense, the hangman's noose is being made ready for two of the murderesses. :md tlio rii .i.t c t .-.. . . " 1 -j uiiu oiiaj'oj of the electric chair are gaping fori the two others. "Sister" Mary Johnson, who will be the lirst woman ever executed in Florida, is the fourth and latest in the list. The other thr-e are 'Mrs. Pessie Wakeiield, condemned in Connecticut, and Mrs. Cynthia liui't'uni and Mrs. Magdalena Ferola, up. mi whom the state of New York has pronounced the death sentence. As emotionless as the walls that hold her captive, 'Sister" Johnson, mother of several children, waits in the Calhoun county jail at Blounstown, Fla., for the execution. Twice she has been convicted of murdering an aged, defenceless man. Hot words between Monroe Hess, a son-in-law to "Sis" Johnson, and James Whittington, on the latter's farm, several years ago, was the beginning of the trouble. liess is said to have left the held and reported his troubles to his mother-in-law. Sister Johnson then armed herself and went to the Whittington i home with Pess, her two sons. Johnnie and Zeke, and her daughter, Mary Hess. Killed Whittington. Monroe liess, the prosecution claims stepped onto the porch of the Whittington home and shot John Whittington to death. As Whittington fell he lired on Zeke Johnson, who was instantly killed. It was then that lister Johnson fired a load of buckshot into the breast of James Whittington, aged father of the, family, as he started to rise from his chair. Pess made his escape and was at liberty for two years. He was captured in Missouri and, on pleading guilty to manslaughter, was sentenced to twenty years in tho state prison. Sister Johnson faced trial lirst in the spring of 1911 and was convicted of murder, the jury recommending mercy. Her attorneys won an appeal for a new trial; hut when the case was brought up tho second time the introduction of the dying declaration of the woman's victim convicted her of murder in the lirst degree, without; decommendation for mercy. Unden the laws of Florida, this calls for the extreme penalty of death. ister Johnson sits in her cell today, sullen and apparently indifferent to her fate. While few persons sympathize with her any more than she seems to with herself, thousands have lifted their voices in appeal for the pardon of the other two murderesses. Mrs. Magdalena Ferola, now in Sing Sing, occupying a death cell which was especially constructed for her, will be the first woman executed in New York in fifteen years. Ministers and women's clubs are pleading with Dist. Atty. Martin to prevent the killing of Mrs. Ferola, on the ground that no woman ever again should be put to death in that state. Mrs. Ferola has a little daughter 11 years old and a son 22 years old. It will be the tragedy of the daughter's life when she grows old enough to realize it, that it was she who identified the butcher's knife with which Mrs. Ferola is said to mello Canestrano, the have killed Carlover who jilted her. For Mrs. Bessie Wakefield, sentenced in Connecticut for the murder of the husband who mistreated and abused her and her children, there has been the greatest campaign of sympathy ever aroused in this country for a murderess. Two little babies will be left motherless if she Is hanped. The last on the list, Mrs. Cynthia Piiffum. of Little Valley, N. Y.. is of a different sort. She is charged and convicted with having fed her whole family poison with their food, in order that she might be freed from them and give her love wholly to a handsome farm hand employed by her husband. ler husband and two of the children died, and for their murder Mrs. Puff am herself must face death in the electric chair.

FID Scotland Yard Detectives Sent to Frustrate Suffraget Plan to Kidnap 14 - Year - Old Prince Henry. PONDON. June 4. Fifty-five, militant suffrapets. who had bem arrested for conspiracy, frustrated an attempt to give them a hearing today in the Marleybone police court. As Foon as the quintet was brought into the courtroom they bepan scxeamincr, fighting with policemen and hurling missies at the court. Two sisters. Nellie and Emmeline Halt, had to be picked up and carried bodily into the prisoners dock. v ith dr sses torn and hair flying, they bit and scratched the policemen all the while keeping up a series of ear-piercing screams. It was found impossible to arraipn the women and they were returned to their cells for a hearing later. Upon the previous occasions the women hnd acted so boisterously as to make court proceedings impossible. All the members of the PrUish royal family are being guarded from attacks from militant suffrapets. The sending of picked Scotland Yard detectives to Faton to guard Prince Henry, the 1 4-year-old son of King Oeorpe and Queen Mary, revealed todav that the militant members of the Women's Social and Political Union have threatened to direct personal attacks against the family of "th puppet king" as the women now call his royal highness. According to information received at Scotland Yard suffrapets have conspired to kidnap Prince Henry and hold him until King Georpe calls upon parliament to pass a bill giving unlimited suffrage to women.
