Welk, from his death cell in ! Huntsvillo penitentiary, sent the fol- IdWing telegram to Mrs. Ferguson a! fw hours before he was executed: "My time Is growing near. Please do not let me die." ; Many predicted the emotions gen erally thought to rule a woman's mind and heart would break through the armor of reason the woman gov ernor has constructed for all her dealings in pardon matters.

LONDON, April ' 30. (By Associ ated Press.) Additional guards have been assigned to protect Foreign Sec retary Austen Chamberlain, presum ably in connection with the discovery of a plot against his life. The news of additional police pro tection for the British foreign secre tary came from official quarters but there was much reticence about dis cussing the nature of the supposed plot. It was intimated that somo of the details were discovered outside of London. " LONDON, April 25. Unless flying machines are regulated death will be rained down by the square mile in the next European war. Is the predic tion made by J. M. Spaight, author of "Aircraft in War," and other books, In his latest publication "Air Power and War Rights," in which he makes an appeal for the limitation -of air armaments. "Let there be no doubt about it,' writes Mr. Spaight. "Unless' air pow er is regulated and controlled It will destroy civilization itself. Aircrnft have a terriblo lesson In store ' for mankind. Shall we ever learn the lesson properly until it is hurled at us in inunaer ana name.' ne elbkh, una answers as follows: "Sometimes one doubts whether we shall. It is admitted that air raids will be far more terrible in -future The wars than they were In 1918, but It is doubtful whether the appalling menace to civilization which this ad mission involves is grasped by the general public." , r Mr. Spaight was the British mem ber of the commission' of Jurists on laws of war at Tho Hague, In 1922-23, and of these rules he says: "It is doubtful whether such rules for air bombardment as those drawn up by the jurists at The Hague in January February, 1923, will save the world's great cities." The joker in The Hague rules, says Mr. Spaight, is this: The regulations solemnly declared that military ob jectives alone are to be liable to bom bardment, they are "obligingly and tactfully vague as to what military objectives are exactly." In tho event of another war outbreak, with recol lections of 1914 In mind, virtually all the . countryside of every nation in volved would become engaged in war work of somo kind, ' every public building turned into a war center, and since every town would contain war works of ono kind or another, every town would be bombed, with the people in it. The next war may be over almost before the armies get into action, Mr. Spaight suggests; London, Paris or Berlin may be reduced to ruins, tan gled with corpses, before a single land battle has been fought. Air power will start In to land the knockout blow as soon as war Is declared, or even before. Bombing by all means should be limited only to property used for war purposes. That, he avers, is the only remedy. SPEED UP AIRMAIL TO ATLANTIC COAST WASHINGTON, April 25.
