WOLTER IS ELECTROCUTED Murderer of Ruth Wheeler Put to Death. Osslnlng, N. Y.—Albert Wolter was put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison for the murder of ID-year old ltuth Wheeler nearly two years ago. * The girl came to Wolter's Hat in New York In search of employment, and he killed her after she had been mistreated. Wolter left a statement with Warden Kennedy denying that he had committed the crime. The execution was without feature, and Wolter was declared dead after one contact with 1,600 volts. The state electrician suld that Wolter fchowed less resistance to the electric current than any murderer put to death by electricity at Sing Sing prison. Although Wolter was convicted on circumstantial evidence, the court of appeals, reviewing the case after a series of legal delays, declared he was fairly tried and justly convicted. Uuth Wheeler met her death on March 24, 1910, In Wolter's apartment on the fourth floor of a house on Fast Seventy-zftli street, New York City, where she had gone to seek employ ment as a stenographer. Metal Revision Passed by House. Washington—Republican hopes of making a united stand on tariff bills In this national election year went glimmering when twenty-one lnsurg ent Republicans Joined the l>emocrats and put through the house the Under wood metal schedule unamended. Thus was added another signal achievement to the record of Leader Underwood. Three Colorado Demo crats deserted their party, avowing their constituents would not stand for the reduction of lead ore. No Battleship, Say Democrat*. Washington.—There will be no ap preprint ions for battleships or public buildings at this session of cougres6. This was the decision of the Demo crats of the house after a sprited cau cus. Elimination of a battleship ap propriation was a surprise, the caucus having been called to consider a *16.- 000.000 public building bill. Represen tative nurnett of Alabama, however, offered an amendment to a resolution to dispense with the public buildings bill, that no battleship appropriation be reported to the house. Watterson Still Talking. Washington-.—Col. Henry Watterson In a statement Issued and Intended to • bring a "distasteful episode" to an i end, so far as he was concerned, de clared that the Issue between him and Governor Wilson was solely as to , which one had "lied." Colonel Wat r t»mn h* "bad ewuuted cnnclu > sively to show 1 that Governor \VHson I had lied and charged that the New I Jersey "dared not face the I facts."

NO BASIS FOUND FOR PUCE ITALY AND TURKEY REFUSE THE . SUGGESTIONS OF DIPLOMATS TO SETTLE DIFFERENCES. Turkish Government Says It Cannot Accept Spoliation Suffered With out Redress. Rome, Italy.—Although the work of the European diplomatic chancel leries has been prosecuted actively In Constantinople and Rome during the past few days in an attempt to find a way to peace between Italy and Turkey, no basis has yet been found. In reply to suggestions from vari ous embassies, Turkey answers that the powers, if they want peace, should Induce Italy to make conces sions, as Turkey cannot accept the spoliation she has suffered without redress. Rome, on the other hand, responds to the hints of the foreign chancel leries that the only remedy for the present situation Is that pressure should be put br the powers on the porte. The representaives of, the powers declare that If pressure were brought to bear on the porte through the am-1 bassadors and tho porto should re-1 slst —as everything appears to indi-1 cato would be *the caße —cither the. powers would have to withdraw and suffer humiliation or have recourse to coercion. This would mean making a collect ive naval demonstration In Turkish waters, which would ultimately end In a landing In Constantinople, and would raise the general European conflagration, which ail hope to avoid. WATTERSON TALKS AGAIN Editor Says Rysn Was oNt Respon sible for Harvey-Wilson Break. Washington. Absolving Colonel liarvey from all blame in connec tion with the suggestion that Thomas F. Ryan, the Now York financier, might be induced to finance Gover nor Wilsons campaign, Col. Henry Watterson made public tho corre spondence that has recently passed between himself and Senator Till man. It wll be recalled that recently Colonel Watterson stated he would not notice the suggestion that Mr. Ryan's name was at the bottom of the Harvey-Wilson break until it was put forward by some responsible per son. Senator Tillman took up the cud gels and charged that Colonel Wat terson had concealed material facts in connection with the Incident. In discussing the assertion that Colonel Harvey had sought to bring Wilson and Thomas F. Ryan together, he said: "Now, senator, I know of my own knowledge that that story is a lie, made out of the whole cloth. "If any person ventures to ques tion that assertion 1 have In my pos session proof conclusive which I hold myself ready to place before your honest and truth seeking man." French-Italian Dispute Settled. Paris.—The Franco-Italian incident arising from the seizure of the French steamers Manouba and Car thage by Italian war vessels was set tled satisfactorily to both nations. This announcement was made at the close of a meeting of the cabinet, which, after examination, approved I the terms of tho note agreed upon by Oamllle Harrere, the French am bassador at Rome, and the Marquis D 1 San Gluliano. The note will be published in Rome by the Italian gov ernment.

Atlanta, Ga. —The farmers of the South made gratifying progress In de veloping rural telephone systems dur ing the past year, according to reports of the Southern Hell Telephone com pany covering the seven states in which it operates. On December 31, 19U, thero were 29,537 farmer's telephones connected with exchanges and toll stations of the Hell system In these states as follows: Alabama 7.246 Georgia 7,243 South Carolina 2,722 North Carolina 3,460 Virginia .... 2,171 West Virginia . • 0,507 Florida 188 Of these telephone 7,775 were add ed during the year 1911, nn Increase of 30 per cent, over the year 1910. A feature of particular value to the farmers wan Instituted during the past year through the co-operation of the United States weather bureau and the telephone company. The dally weather reports are fui*hlshed to the telephone company every day. and at a given hour in the morning the re port is read to the subscribers on every rural line. Farmers who can not respond to the signal may call the operator at any time and secure the report. Practically every section of the South is covered with rural telephone line, and it is possible for farmers in remote places to communicate quick ly with the nearest market. The growth has been rapid, but telephone experts declare that rural telephone development in the South is In Its in fancy and a greater growth is antic ipated during the year 1912. Btate Banks Depd*ltaries. Washington.— For the first time In history, the way has been opened, it has developed, for state banks and trust companies to become known as "United States depositaries." Owing to the view of the treasury depart ment, any financial institution In America—national or state bank or trust company—holding postal sav ings deposits or other government funds, may assume that title without legal Impediment, even though the designation 1b not officially conferred by the secretary of the treasury.

Guayaquil, Ecuador. —An Infuriated mob broke into the Quito peniten tiary in spite of a double guard and lynched Gens. Elroy Alfaro, Flavlo Alfaro, Medardo Alfaro, Ulplano Paez and Manuel Serrano, ail prom inent revolutionists. With the putting to death of Gen. Eloy Alfaro, ex-president of Ecuador; his brother, Gen. Flavlo Alfaro, ex minister of war and commander-in chief of the revolutionary forcea; Gen. Medardo Alfaro, who Is believ ed to have been a brother of the two other Alfaros, and Gena. Paez and Manuel Serrano, the leading lights in Ecuador's latest revolution have been snufTed out. This revolution, although it had been a long time brewing, began In reality a few days following the audden death on De cember 22 last of President Emlllo Estrada. The first of the drastic measures taken by those who opposed the rev olution was carried into effect at Guayaquil when Gen. Pedro Montero, who was proclaimed president by the troops after the death of Estrada, was shot and beheaded by a mob, which, later, burned hiß body. The shooting of Montero took place In the court room where the general had just been tried by courtmartlal and sentenced tQ sixteen years' im prisonment for his connection with the revolt. The people, evidently an gered at what they considered a too light sentence, rushed Into the court room, and, after riddling Montero's body with bullets, dragged it Into the open. They they decapitatted It, built a bonfire and threw into the flames the torso and head of the man who once was a popular hero in Ec uador. Eloy Alfaro and Generals Paez and Montero were captured January 22 at Guayaquil when government troops under Gen. I,eonldas Plaza forced the revolutionists who held Guayaquil to capitulate. Flavlo Alfaro had been wounded in a battle a few days be fore the fall of Guayaquil. Madero Alfaro was captured January 25 as he arrived at Guayaquil on board a steamer with a body of rebel troops. GARDEN WORK FOR CHILDREN R«lief Urged Before Child Labor Com mittee Convention. Louisville, Ky.—Purposeful labor in connection with their school was urged for children relieved of grind ing labor before the final session of the eighth annual conference of the national child labor committee by P. p., Claxton, United States commis sioner of education. For the mill ( towns of the South he outlined a plan already worked out to some degree whereby the children of the factory i 'employees should contribute to the support of the family by gardening. Teachers should be competent to in struct in agriculture and animal in dustry. he declared, and should be engaged for the year through, the winter schoolroom work to be grad ually lessened as the time for putting In the gardens approached, until the work out of doors, under supervision, should üße all of the child's working day. There 1b plenty of land In or near all these towns, he said, the project Is thoroughly feasible, and, he assert ed, under the least favorable condi tions the child gardener, doing what he would enjoy doing, could produce toward the support of himself and the family, at least as much as now, ' when he works long hours in the i mills and destroys his health and E future usefulness. For other indtis - trial sections of the country the same t principle, he thought, could be work ed out along; other lines. No Extension of Armistice. Pekln.—The Pekln government is ' trying to secure an extension of the i armistice, but Wu Ting Fang, the re s publican minister of Justice at Shang i- hal, has telegraphed threatening to ; renew hostilities unless abdication is r accomplished. Three thousand more r of Yuan Shi Kal's troops have arriv t- ed at Pekin. bringing the total up to l 7,000 men.

HIRED GEORGIA PLANTER'S ADVICE TO KIDHEY SUFFERERS Regarding the wonderful curative , h merits of jwur Swamp-Root, I cannot suy too much. After suffering new ly for three years or more with ae ▼ere palna caused by weak kidneys, I was finally Induced to try Swamp-Root through a testimonial I read In one of the newspapers. I was in such a con dition that I was obliged to arise from my bed six or elgbt times every night.

The ditch or moat of Monaco, completely dried up last summer, although usually a canal three miles long and fifty reet wide, with five feet of water. All carp, tench, perch and pike disap peared, leaving dry mud. A recent sudden rainfall, however, supplied a little water, aud the fishes were actu ally seen rising—as lively as over — from the mud in which they bad burled themselves. Vest Pocket Telephones. They are introducing vest-pockev. telephones in" some of the cities of Germany. Connections are placed on walls all over town and if you happen to walk along the street and you're in a hurry to tell your wife that you will bring a friend home for dinner all you have to do Is to connect your pocket instrument with the one on the wall, call the exchange, get your party and talk to your heart's con tent. GRAND TO LIVE And th« Last Laugh la Always the Best "Six months ago I would have laugh ed at the Idea that there could be any thing better for a table beverage than coffee," writes an Ohio woman, "now I laugh to know there Is, "Since childhood I drank coffee free ly as did the other members of the fam ily.
