Last Vermont Hanging May End Capital Punishment
The article recounts the 1905 execution of Mary Mabel Rogers in Windsor and the Vermont debate on abolishing capital punishment.

It reflects on anti hanging sentiment strengthening in the legislature. The piece also mentions a separate feature on Marconi wireless transmission and the Wellfleet station.

Proposed towing vessels by powering small launches on coasting ships
A plan suggests using hoisted electric launches on large coasting schooners to tow the vessel in calm weather and move berths in harbors. The launch would be powered by batteries and connected by insulated cable, enabling 3–4 knots towing and potential daily range of about 96 miles. The battery size would be modest and sized to the vessel’s electrical capacity.
