Waxahaihie, Tex., Feb. 25.— Karle
II. May field, candidate for i'nited
States senator from Texas, spoke here
today at the county courthouse In the
interest of his candidacy.
The transportation problem was the
first point taken up by the speaker.
Kight of the state to control its own
transportation facilities was upheld
against the power of the existing In.
terstate Commerce commission. Ac-
cording to the speaker, tlie authoriza-
tion by congress of the commission Is
in direct opposition to the principle
of the right of states to control affairs
entirely its own and essentially out-
side the pale of national direction.
May field stated that his sole purpose
and desire in aspiring to a seat in the
C. S. senate Is to be able to fight
the arbitrary methods of the govern-
ment in usurping the rightful powers

victed of the murder of ten women
and one youth gave his life this morn-
ing in exchange for the. eleven lie had
taken. The triangular knife of the.
guillotine fell at 0:05 o'clock, twenty-
five minutes after the time originally
sit for tie* execution, the delay caus-
ing many to express the erroneous
opinion that I.andru was making a
confession.
Mysterious until death, I.anilru re-
sented Father J.oiselles' query as to
whether he had any confession to
make. .
'■Jt is an insult to a man like, me''
was his reply. "Had 1 any confession
to make I would have made it loiig
ago."
But never did he utter the word
"innocent" as he had failed to utter

imprisonment and the twenty-one
days of his trial.
lie fuses sacrament.
He refused the sacrament, hut coil-
versed a few moments with the priest.
"1 shall be brave, never fear," lie trdd
the clergyman.
When Landru awoke he heard the
sound of hammers as workmen erect-
ed "timbers of justice" by the flicker-
ing light of two square, old-fashioned
candle lanterns.
The guillotine was erected only 9
few feet from the main entrance of
the jail. At « o'clock the doors of the
prison opened slowly. When Laiidru
appeared he was clad in dark trousers
and white shirt. His beard, which
was one of his most striking charac-
teristics and which had become fami-
liar to thousands through publication
of his portrait during the trial had
been trimmed; his head was shaved
and his neck and face were deathly
pale.
Walks to fiiiillotine.
lie walked exactly five steps before
the executioner's assistants caught
him around the waist and levelled him
on the table, which was immediately
up-ended; the heavily weighted knife
slid down and the whole affair was
over in less than twenty seconds.
I.andru never faltered from the
time he appeared in the door; lie
gnv>' the guillotine one look, squared
his shoulders and walked erect, not
uttering a word.
The crowd which had been kept
at such a distance that it saw nothing
of the details, uttered no cry and the
silence was only broken by the bugles
sounding reveille in the nearby bar-
racks and the Angclus bells, 1 lie pla-
toon of cavalry with sabres bared
saluted as the "mystery matt" went
to his death.
Then,the hundred or lnorc news-
paper correspondents and the few ot-
ftrials who had witnessed the execu-
tion left the scene, while outside the
lines of cavalry the citizens of Ver-
sailles and many from Paris were ask-
ing "is it all over?'' There seemed to
be more pity than bitterness and never
a word of invective against the man
who had just paid the penalty for a
series of the foulest murders in the
criminal history of France.

The four-power Pacific treaty,
which has proved the most trouble-

favorably reported with a blanket
reservation drawn by committee mem-

Harding.
At the same time the committee

understanding that members could

Only the general far eastern and

whole group of treaties into the sen-

Senator Lodge "had dashed from one

Particular merriment arose over
Senator Harrison's discussion of Am-

president in some respects bore "a
striking resemblance to the elephant
which symbolizes his political party.'
With a declaration that he respect-
ed the parallel drawn by Mr. Harvey.
Senator Harrison opened a ponderous
unabridged dictionary on his desk and
read, in part, the definition of the
word "elephant." Some parts of the
definition were deleted by Senator
Harrison because, he said, they were
Impropci under the circumstances,
hut reading, he said thai an elephant
had "long tusks which furnish most
of the ivory in commerce."
Habits of Flrphunt.
"We know the elethant never has
be, u trained," Senator Harrison con-
tinued, "to du any trick except to
turn around in a circle; that he can
go backwards just as well as forward
and that no show or menagerie is
complete without him. He is the only
animal that in the forepart of his
head there Is a piece of wood. He's
the only animal that has v.iluo of
ivory in his tusks."
