Wise, formerly of this city and later of the regular army, was sen- tenced late yesterday afternoon by Judge William S. Case in the superior court to be hanged between midnight and sunrise on December 14. Wise accepted his fate coolly and from all outward appearances might have been the least interested person in the courtroom. Albert A. Greenberg of this city and John F. Forward of Hartford, counsel for the accused, state that they will take up the mat- ter of an appeal later. The jury brought in a verdict of first degree murder in almost record time, being out only 40 minutes. Judge Case finished reading his charge to the jury at 4:10 p. m. yesterday and at 4:60 o’'clock the foreman of the Jury had returned the verdict which means death at the hangman’s hands for Wise. State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn moved for immediate sentence and Wise was brought before the judge’s bench. Asked if he had any- thing 'to say why sentence of death should not be imposed upon him Wise looked squarely at Judge Case and without the slightest tremor in his voice replied: “Yes sir.

' SALVATION ARMY MEETINGS. Commencing this evening a series pt special meetings will be started by Rhe Salvation Army. The meetings Will be held tonight, Thursday, Friday, Baturday and Sunday. The services fhis evening and Sunday will be in English. The meetings will be ad- ressed by Adjutant B. Dahlberg who cently arrived from Worcester.

Well, it is guaranteed to perform miracles if you could be- leve these hot water enthusiasts. There dre vast numbers of men nd women who, immediately, upon rising in the morning, drink a glass pf real hot water with a teaspoonful pf limestone phosphate in it. This is - very excellent health measure. It 8 intended to flush the stomach, liver, idneys and the thirty feet of intes- ines of the previous day’'s waste, sour bile and indigestible material left bver in the body which if not elim- nated every day, become food for the illfons of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons d toxins which are then absorbed nto the blood causing headache, bil- ous attacks, foul breath, bad taste, polds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, kleeplessness, impure blood and all orts of ailments. People who feel good one day and adly the next, but who simply can hot get feeling right are urged to ob- ain 4 quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost Vvery little but is sufficient o make anyore a real crank on the kubject of internat sanitation. Just as soap and, hot water act on he skin, cleansing, sweetening and reshening, so limestone, phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, iver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast- y more important to bathe on the nside than on the outside, because he skin pores do not absorb impuri- fes into the blood, while the bowel pores do. commit the crime.” Sherlff Dewey then proclaimed si- lence while Judge Case read the death sentence condemning Wise to be executed at Wethersfleld on the morning of December 14 before sun- rise. It was a trying moment for the accused, but his eyes never wavered and at the conclusion of the sentence he nodded his head in complete un- derstanding of what had been read. He then walked unassisted from the court room, head erect and step unfal- tering. Although both Attorney Greenberg and Attorney Forward made strong pleas for their client, the evidence upon which State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn had built up his case seemed more convincing to the jury. The state also made considerable capital of the fact that Wise had testifled that he used his left hand for all work and that it was his left hand he used in cutting himself yet When he gave an actual demonstration before the Judge and jury of how he slashed him- self, it was his right hand he used. Expert medical Witnesses for the state had previously testified that the gash on the left.side of Mrs. Tobin's throat was where it would be made at the hands of a man wlelding a razor in his right hand. Lawyer Greenberg made the initlal plea for the accused man and spoke eloquently, laying especial stress upon Mrs. Tobin’s many let- ters in which she threaterfed to com- mit suicide and calling attention to the fact that had Wise contemplated murder the logical place for him to have committed the act*would have been In the seclusion of Walnut Hill park where they spent an hour on the fatal night, rather than near her own home. In his plea, Lawyer Forward made no attempt to condone either ‘Wise's or Mrs. Tobin’s past actions, but declared that the case at hand was whether Wise had committed the mur- der. He called attention to the lack of an explained motive and declared the state had failed to prove its case be- yond a reasonable doubt. In summing up for the state, State's Attorney Alcorn made an impassioned plea for justice. He declared that Mrs. Tobin had paid the penalty for her sins and now, he demanded, Wise must pay the penalty for hfs. The state’s atorney commented significant- ly on the many contradictory . state- ments made by the accused and said if he lled in one instance he had probably lied in others. GOLIATH WHIPS DAVID. Hartford Trolley Wins Bout With Aute On Main Street. It can’t be done. A Ford automo- bile owned by Miquel Sullivan, the popular transportation magnate and rival of the Connecticut, company, tried to efface a pay-as-you-enter trol- ley car at the corner of Main and Church streets, this morning . at. 10:07:03. But it didn’t. ’'Cause it couldn’t. The referee declared the trolley car the winner of the bout. The automoblle was traveling in a southerly direction on Main street and the trolley car was swinging around the corner about to enter Church street. The rear end of the trolley hit the auto an upper cut and jammed it against the curb. Everyone ex- pected to see the auto reduced to- a mass of tangled wreckage. In fact, the axle was badly bent and a wheel almost ripped off. But the chauffeur felt of the vital spots, saw the engine was intact, said “Wind her up, Jim- mie,” to his mechanician, tooted his horn and proceeded on his way. The only damage to the trolley was a rup- ture of its schedule. PYTHIAN WAR RELIEF FUND. Throughout the country enthusiastic efforts are being made by the Knjghts of Pythias to raise $500,000 for the Pythian War Relief fund. Energetic efforts are being made by the local lodge In preparation for its share in the fund. Cards have been mailed to all members affillated with St. Elmo lodge urging them to contribute at least $1 each toward the fund. A com- mittee has been appointed which will call upon the members and collect the desired amount or payments may be made at the club’s headquarters. There will be a regular meeting of the club this evening. MAYOR FIRST 10 | Campaign for Food Conservation in Gty Begins The 'Hoover pledge campaign for the conservation of food began hére vesterday under the direction of the iocal committee of the United States Food Commission and Mayor George A. Quigley, of 130 Maple street, had the distinction of being the first New Britainite to sign a pledge card. It is the task of the local committee to enlist 9,000 other citizens who will agree to carry out the directions and advice of the government food ad- ministration as far as their circum- stances permit, in the saving of wheat, meat, fats and sugar. If each of the 9.000 families in New Britain's quota saves four ounces of sugar—one-quarter of a pound— per week, there will result a total saving In the city each week of 2,250 pounds. This/Aeems to be easily pos- sible, and could be doubled withou difficulty or deprivation. In a year, fifty-eight and one-half tons would be saved on a quarter pound per family basis, in New Britain alone. If each of the families saves a loaf of bread a week—as again seems easily possi- ble through wheatless meals—the re- sult in’ a year in our own city alone would be a saving of 468,000 loaves. If every family should save one half pound of butter per week, New Brit- ain’s economy would release 234,000 pounds of butter to the Allies. If each of these families should decide to eat meat (beef, mutton or pork) at only one meal per day, the saving throughout the city would probably average not less than three pounds per week per family. Many families are now living on the basis of meat once a day; others have it still less often, but there are many others where meat in some form is found at every meal. A saving of three pounds per week would result in' New Brit- ain’s annual contribution to the meat supply for our stricken Allies of near- ly a million and a half pounds of meat. The individual savings seem reasonable—the totals are staggering. If New Britain can do so much to help, through so little of self-re- straint, surely it should be and will be done. ; A lady called at the pledge com- mittee’s headquarters yesterday to ask whether on wheatless /days, 1t is permissible to use enough white flour with corn meal or other cereals to obtain satisfactory result in cooking. She was told that it is. It is not the intent of the Food Commission to exact impossibilities, and its position in this matter is clearly indicated in the weekly household report cards in which a wheatless meal is defined as one at which “no bread or cereal composed entirely of wheat” is served. The headquarters in the City- hall are quiet these days. All the captains are afield with their teams and except for hurried trips to the City hall for supplies they are not seen. Today the signed cards will begin to be turned in, and each evening will witness visits of solicitors and captains to make the returns the Hartford office desires. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. D. Mc- Millan's team met at Trinity Methodist church to plan its campaign. Last night meetings were held in the sixth and eighth districts. Tonight the teams in the first and fourth dis- tricts meet preparatory to a vigorous capipaign tomorrow, and the sixth district workers have another meet- ing. In the third district a portion of the ground has already been covered. The fifth district completes its plans today. The first signed cards were returned by Mrs. McMillan’s team in the second district. One of the city's prominent citi- zens, a member of the school board, called at the Food Conservation Pledge committee headquarters to ask what plans were known for fol- lowing up the pledges and securing their fulfillment. He expressed the opinion, which is generally enter- tained, that unless steps are taken to maintain a general interest in the matter and uniform action in securing economy in the consumption of wheat, meat, fats and sugar, the pledge movement will not bring prop- er results. He believed that groups of households working under leader- ship or supervision would give the .best result. -It is interesting to note that the first announced plan of the foad com- mission for following the pledges falls in line with this suggestion. Tho U. S. Food Administration is distri- buting through, the churches weekly report cards on which reports can be made negarding the number of meals each week in which no bread or ce- real Is served made whally of wheat; of the number of meals in which no beef, pork or mutton is served; and the number of meals in which there was no waste. A standard is set of seven wheatless meals, fourteen meat- less meals and twenty-one wasteless meals. In the Baptist church the Brotherhood has appointed a commit- tee of five to collect these reports each weck from the three hundred familles in the parish. This plan should give good results. There are few households where Wwhole-hearted co-operation cannot be secured for any definite plan for econ- omy, and the establishment of stan- dards to which to work makes united action possible. It would be well if other churches would adopt a similar plan for making the government's scheme _effective. Miss Laura Woodford was in charge of the headquarters this morning and Mrs. A. J. Sloper in the afternoon. The office will be open from 7 to 9 o’clock this evening. BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.
