to the extreme and the smallest cam
paign fund in the history of any party,
if possible, represent the wishes of
Governor Woodrow Wilson for the coming-
campaign. Discuss ins reports that
the Democratic party wanted to raise
at least S2.000.000. Governor Wilson
eaid:
"It veres me that it has been said
that S2.0U0.000 has been fixed as the
' figure. I have not the slightest notion
of how much is necessary, but I re
member Mr. Bryan telling me the sum
used in his campaign. I have forgotten
the exact figures, but it certainly was
under $1,000,000.
' "My desire Is to confine expenditures
to a reasonable degree of economy and
absolute legitimate objects. I regret
that it costs as much as it does to run
a campaign."
"Machine" In Defined.
Governor Wilson also amplified his
views on organizations and political
machines, with which Frederick -W.
Hinrichs. once a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor
In New York, took is
sue with the Governor on Saturday.
calling the Governor's attention to
Koosevelt's position on these questions.
"Organizations are absolutely neces
sary." sall the Governor, "and it Is
always right to discriminate between
political machines and organizations.
A machine is that small part of an or
ganization used for wrong purposes,
generally private and personal. It is
not right to confuse an organization
with the machine."
Rolla Wells, former Mayor of St. Louis
and now treasurer of the Democratic
National committee, arrived In New
York unannounced today.
"I am not worried about raising cam
paign funds." said Wells. "Popular sub
scriptions will give us all the funds
necessary."
Though the Democratic party has no
plank in Its platform advocating wo-
man suffrage, a plan has been formu
lated by the Wilson campaign managers
by which they hope to make a bid for
the feminine vote In the six woman
suffrage states.

ARBITRATION MAY BE END
(Contlnned From First Psre.)
virtue of the existence of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, other European na
tions and even Japan have refrained
from approaching the State Depart
ment, notwithstanding their inter
est is equal to that of Great Britain by
reason of their right to claim equal
treatment for their shipping under the
favored-nation clause.
Officials of this Government, how
ever, are said to expect that soon af
ter the signature of the act by the
President, their Charge will be directed
to submit to the State Department a
formal protest in behalf of his Gov
ernment against what it regards as dis
crimination against British shipping.
This will require an equally formal re
ply, reciting the act itself as a man
date by Congress, which the Executive
cannot desregard, supported by such
argument as the diplomatic bureau can
make to Justify the action.
Arbitration Likely Alternative.
As this will amount to a positive re
fusal of the British request to treat
British shipping on an equality with
American, it is probable, in the opin
ion of Government authorities, that the
Foreign Office will come toward with
a proposition to submit the issue to ar
bitration, calling attention to the ex
isting British-American arbitration
treaty as a basis for the proposition.
This move would bring the matter
to a real crisis. Should arbitration be
adverse to the American position. It
would be necessary. It Is said, for the
State Department to find reasonable
grounds for a declination of the British
overture, without laying Itself open to
the charge that It had deliberately vio
lated the provisions of the treaty
that charge lodged again It In con
nection with the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.

OSSINNING. N. Y., Aug. 12. Seven
murderers were electrocuted In Sing
Sing prison today. This is the largest
number to suffer the death penalty by
electricity on one day since the electric
chair was adopted. Six Italians and
one negro were put to death quietly
within an hour and 16 minutes.
The condemned men were executed
In the following order: John "W. Col
lins, Lorenao I Call. Salvatore De Mar
co. Felipo De Marco. Angelo Gluato,
Vincenzo Cona and Joseph Ferrone.
Cona walked to the chair white
faced and trembling, and as he kissed
the crucifix, when the straps were be
ing placed about his body, he fell over
limply in a dead faint.
AU the prisoners with the exception
of Collins walked into the death cham
ber protesting their innocence. Col
lins came In smiling and seemingly
happy and did not deny his guilt. He
prayed on bis knees at the chair for a
minute before he was executed.
Glusto, Cona. Call and the two de
Marcos were convicted. of the murder
of Mrs. Mary Hall, wife of Henry Hall,
superintendent of construction on the
Croton aqueduct, in a lonely farm house
at Griffin's Corners, Westchester Coun
ty, on November 9, 1911. Santa Zanza,
the sixth member of the band of as
sassins, was electrocuted July 8, after
he had confessed In a letter to Gover
nor Dix that he had stabbed Mrs. Hall
to death. The others were convicted as
participants in the crime. The men
gained access to the house on the pre
text of buying milk.
John W. Collins, a young Florida
negro, shot and killed Michael Lynch,
a New York City policeman, on the
morning of July 1. 1911. Collins had
been drinking and fired revolver shots
out of the window of his apartment in
that part of New York known as
"Hell's Kitchen." Officer Lynch heard
the shots and went to investigate.
When he knocked at the door Collins
opened it and fired.
Joseph Ferrone killed his wife, Kate,
in New York City, October 24, Mil.
Mrs. Ferrone had refused to live with
her husband because of ill treatment,
