been sentenced to hang.

given by another prisoner, and a
sharpened piece of steel was found.

prosecutor.

separate a young couple on the hus
band’'s request, Justice B'anchard de
clared they needed a ‘‘good spanking,”
not a separation.
MORE TROOPS EXPECTED.
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Condi
tions along the Mexican border con
tinued to be a cause of anxiety to
Government officials to-day. Dis
patches gathered here early in the
forenoon brought the information that
filibusters are gathering on American
territory supposedly to dash across
the border and attack General Car
ranza in his march from Agua Prieta
to Juarez.

¢d States Cavalry have been sent
from the regiment's headquarters at
C'olumbus, N. Mex,, to Malpais, a New
Mexico town near the border, about
50 miles west of El Paso. These
troops have reported that they have
not yet found a trace of the filibusters
said to have organized to join the
forces of the Queveda brothers and
Jose Orozco, south of the New Mexico
line. Careful patrol of the border is
being maintained east and west of
Malpais. '
Though the Seventeenth and Ninth
Infantry regiments are the only
troops that will be sent to the border
at present, it is reported that the War
Department has under consideration
plans for mobilizing another whole
division of the army in Texas, 'The
second division is now there and the
first div =ion will be the next to go if
the de.opments warrant such ac
tion.

three men who attacked him with
knives February 25, inflicting severe

New Design in Jewelry Initiated
by Girl Baron Rosen Called
Most Beautiful.
WASHINGTON, March H.;—Miss
Gladys Hinckley, whose fads and
fancies have a leaning toward the
unusual, if not the astonishing, has
given society in Washington another
thrill. No, she is not wearing a pur
ple wig or an anklet studded with
precious stones, but she is wearing a
bug suspended from her dainty ear.
Now, what Miss Hinckley does and
decrees is more than likely to carry
considerable weight, for she is one of
the popular and original members of
the smart set in the nation’s capilal.
More than that, she bears the distinc
tion of having been called the most
beautiful woman in America by no
less a personage than Baron Rosen,
former Russian Ambassador.
The bug is a tiny platinum one,
studded with jewels and hangs from
Miss Hinckley's ear by an almest in
visible chain. Many of her friends
are calling the bug ‘real cute” and
“chic” and “the very thing.” WHal
the rest of her friends think of the
bug Miss Hinckley says she does not
care, for, be it understood, leaders in
new fashions must be daring if any
thing.
So Miss Hinckley apparently in
tends to do her very best for the little
bug. She wears it practically
wherever she goes, and there are no
signs that she will discontinue her
fad. She hopes cthers will take cour
age and follow the fashion.
Two years ago she appeared with
the fashionable promenaders on Con
necticut avenue wearing a golden
snake twisted about her neck. So
realistic was the metal reptile that her
friends were startled and all they
could say after recovering their
breath was ‘“What next”
MANY KILLED IN BATTLE.
BENGAZI, TRIPOLI, March 13—
Three hundred and eight Arabs and
Italian soldiers were killed and hun
dreds were wounded in a bloody bat
tle between natives and an [ltalian
force near Zuetina to-day. This was
the heaviest loss sustained by the
Italian forces in Tripoli since the
Turko-Italian war ended.
Of the dead 263 were Arabs and
45 were Itallans. Nine of the latter
were officers.

715,000 Copies of Senator’s
Address.
WASHINGTON, Murch 13.—That
the $10,000,000 Carnegie endowment
for international peace, of which
United States Senator Elihu Root is
chairman, has appropriated $32,469 in
the last yvear for a propaganda in fa
vor of the repeal or arbitration of (ji2
clause exempting American shipping
from the payment of tolls, and of that
sum has spent $23,548, and that it
circulated under Covernment frank
715,000 copies of Root's speech against
tell exemption was brought out before
the Senate Lobby Committee to-day
when James Brown Scott, secretary
of the foundation, took the stand.
The foundation also sent out 1,200,-
000 copies of a statement on the tolls
question, signed by members of the
board of trustees, Scott said. This
propaganda, he declared, comprised
the whole activity of the foundation.
Fund of $500,000 a Year.
He denied that lecturers were em
ployed or that press burecaus wers
maintained by the foundation. The
work of the foundation is carried on
through income of §5OOOOO a year
from Andrew Carnegie's endowment
of $1),000,000 of 5 per cent United
States Stee! Corporation bonds.
Senator Root is also chairman ot
the executive committee which or
dered the distribution of Panama Ca
rial tolls literature, but Scoft ex
plained that Root was not present
when it was voted to circulate his
speech.
Senator Reed asked what the re
peal of the exemption clause had to
do with promoting peace,
Some believe that the way to pre
serve peace is to smooth out misun
derstandings,” replied Scott,
“If there had heen a serious dispute
there tnight have been” some reason
in circulating the speech,” said Sena
tor Recd, whe wanted to know why
the Root speech had been circulated
instead of the O'Gorman speech in
favor of free tolls.
“What Chance Has U. 5.7"
“Senator Root's speech insists that
we have no right to so interpret the
treaty; the power and influence ot
vour society was placed behind the
circulation of a statement that we
had no ca® no right and conse
quently had nothing to arbitrate,”
caid Senator Reed. He asked wha!
chance the United States would have
in arbitration when the rest of the
world interested in the case s=at in
judgment.
“] am not here to express an opin
fon on that,’” replied Scott.
Clarence W. DeKnight, the Wash
ington attotney who told the comnmit
tee of the large sums he has made
through the promotion of legislation,
was ill and unable to appear before
the committee to-day. His examina
tion will be continued when he re
covers,
The statement, of which 1,200.000
copies were distributed, declared that
the ,interest of the United States was
