Sept 6.—Some thing of the cheerful indifference of Porter Charlton seems gone. The young American, awaiting trial on the charge that he killed his beauti ful wife shortly after their marriage three years ago. has grown nervous under the strain of the exacting third degree of the Italian police. More than once the delicate-seem ing youth has been on the verge of collapse when the police remorseless ly plied him with questions, and. in the sinister way that belongs to no one else but Italian police, sought to break his nerve. But only when his father entered his cell, a day or two ago. did any thing like ap actual break of nerve occur Then the young man threw himself on his fathers breast and cried like a baby. The father. Judge Paul Charlton, was shaken also by the demonstration, but not to such an extent as was his son Away from the police. however. Charlton seems to collect himself. He has made himself as comfortable as possible in his cell in St. Domi nick prison, laving in a supply of his favorite tobacco, obtaining a book in which he purposes to keep a diary, i and devoting himself to tin* study of | Italian. Hls father has joined him in i learning the language, that the two might easily follow the course of the trial. Fearful Ordeal Ahead. Charlton will be put on trial in No vember, until which time he will he | forced to undergo the fearful ordeal : of an Italian police inquisition. The | refinement of cruelty, it is said, at- | tends this experience, and ever\ pres sure is brought to bear on the pris oner, from the gantlet of a thnu- i sand questions to solitary imprison- 1 merit in dingy, filthy dungeons Many prisoners have been known become raving maniacs under the system During all his three years of con- ! finement in a New Jersey jail Charl ton was building up his health by careful living and frequent exercise * a—• a*w»Cied all the time to be obsessed by the fear of the ordeal in Italy, al though none except the most careful observers could observe the dread. To every one else he was the cheer ful. nonchalant young fellow, who promised every one that he would be back home by Christmas, and who made numerous engagements for that holiday season. The inquisition through w’hlch the police drag the young prisoner is un doing the health work of three years, it seems. Charlton's nerve is break ing under the ordeal. Charlton's nerve broke once before, it win !>,• remembered, when the night after he was arrested at Jersey City there came a written confession sign ed by him. that he had killed his wife after a bitter quarrel, in which her ungovernable temper had ren dered her practically a maniac Aft er lie beat her unconscious, he put her body in a trunk and sank it in Lake Como Two Ple*s Are Planned. The confession has not since beer, repudiated, and Is considered to be genuine What Charlton's defence in the Italian courts will be ha.s not been fully established, although it is be- I lieved that his lawyers will plead both insanity and a reasonable justifica tion. Since Charlton reached Italy, it has i been revealed that his wife was killed 1 by blows on the head inflicted by a hammer and a statue representing . Love These instruments, as well as I the trunk which held her body, will be displayed to the prisoner at the trial. After the death of hia wife in June. ' 1910, Charlton fled to the United States, but was arrested when his i steamer landed at Jersey City. For i three years he remained in a New Jersey jail, while every means at the command of lawyers was put to use to prevent his deportation and. trial, even to an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. But every- j tiling failed, and two weeks ago he . was taken to the Old World for trial, j There is no death sentence in Italy. but life imprisonment can be inflicted I with mental tortures that make death ■ preferable, according to those that ‘ know. the six police stations of the Los An geles police department while a ser geant slowly raises the Stars and Stripes to the peak of a flagstaff above the building.

MINISTER ‘CANS’ BURIAL SERMON BY PH0N0RGAPH MINNEAPOLIS, Sepl. 6 The Rev. O. L. Morrell, a well-known Minne apolis minister, pastor of the People’s Church here, w hose place of worship ! is in a downtown theater, has started for a tour of South America and a trip around the Horn. Mr. Morrell** last a »t before his departure was to visit the store of a talking machine dealer, where he preached hls own funeral sermon into a machine, to be used in case of hls death during his absence. ent of Home for Friendless, Points to Nation’s Need. Mrs. J. R. Barnwell, superintendent of the Home for the P’riendless. at No. 226 Highland avenue, drawing examples of deficients among the homelss, "doorstep” children In the care of the home, has pointed out that acute physical suffering, and mental and moral taint a* vyell, i3 the result of failure of mothers to care for their children before birth. ! This failure, she declared, comes from ; ignorance or indifference, usually from ignorance. "It is appalling how little is known | among women of the vital facia of life and death and birth." she said. "And yet girls in schools are taught for year after year trigonometry. Latin, and such things relatively valueless, in consideration of these greater facts. ' The superintendent was Inspire! to the discussion by her study of the recent movement among wealthy women of Boston to establish “pre natal cafes,” where expectant mothers are taught the kind of foods they must eat, to prevent malnutrition of the children before birth. “The idea is splendid.” said the Atlanta woman. "Why should not mothers care for their children be fore birth, with a view to their men tal. moral and physical well-being? If it were done everywhere then chil dren would not be brought into the world such as we see every dav, anemic, dull, dishonest. After birth it is too late to cu r „ these evils. They have been born with the children. Involves Future of Race. ‘ The doctrine of prenatal influence is one of the most powerful signs of the world’s development and pro gress, I think. Prenatal care is a matter vital to the' whole of human ity. for it involves the vigor of the future race. "Establishments where mothers can he taught these things, taught how’ they may conduct themselves to bring into the world strong, healthy, capa ble children, will be of inestimable value. How much suffering would be saved the world if women only knew how to feed themselves to avoid malnutrition of the child. “We here who are brought into contact with the homeless, ’doorstep’ children, most of whom come into th^ world unw elcomed, can realize the i deficiencies that come with lack oi 1 care before birth. We see children i with ineradicable moral tains, chil- i dren who are dull and slow-witted, , children who are a emic and who. if j they live to maturity, live only to face j a life of ill-health and suffering. “After birth it .is too lat.- to erad icate these evils. The harm is done then. And how easy it would have been, with proper consideration of such sifnple things as foods, pleas ant thoughts, profitable occupation and study, to bring Into the world, Instead of the deficients, children I strong, bright, moral.” The superintendent pointed exam- | pics of deficient children—usually, she showed, thev were unwelcome chil dren. and indifference as to their wel fare had marked the period before their birth. On the other hand, she talked of children of her acquaintance who have grown into brilliance of mind and health of body because of care and training before birth. Prenatal Cafes Indorsed. The prenatal restaurants, which she indorsed without reserve, have been established In New' York and Boston by wealthy women. The big idea of these institutions is to check malnutrition before birth. The cham pion of the plan is Miss Mabel Parker, known as the “Good Angel of the Ra bies of New York.” It is her belief that the number of criminals will be greatly decreased when malnutrition before as* well as after birth is less frequent. Miss Parker’s theory is that dining at the prenatal restaurant the expectant mother, by eating the prop er kind of food. Is kept in prime health and is* thus able to bear a robust child. The first prenatal restaurant ir this country was opened in New York by Miss Parker. It is reported that the “Angel” was amazed by the rush of expectant mothers who applied to her for feeding. On the opening day there was not room for a tenth part of I them. Immediately steps were taken I to organize an ssociation in New York to take over the work of the pre natal restaurant. College professor.*, * settlement leaguers and many wealth} New York women are charter mem bers. In the beginning the plans for the restaurant Involve a noon meal only at 5 cents a person. There will be broth, meat and vegetables. At least once a week the women will be in structed in what to eat. nnd lecturers will expound on other factors In the care of the children. Hopes for Cafe Chain. It 1st the hope of Miss Parker that her first prenatal restaurant will lead to the establishment of a chain through the country. Three of Miss Parker's most ardent supporters in the Boston enterprise are Mrs. Robert H. Sayre, mother of Frank Sayre, tho future husband of Jessie Wilson, t'ne daughter of the President; Professor Thomas D. Wood, of Columbia Uni- PRENATAL INFLUENCE IS SIGN OF PROGRESS It is a pity to think of girls being stuffed full of trigonometry and Latin in schools, and being left ignorant of the essential things of life. Half the persons in the world are without knowledge or understand ing of the laws that govern and control life and death. Such steps as the doctrine of prenatal influence are indications that the world is growing better. The care of children before they are born is even more important than their care afterward, saving them from possible physical, men tal and moral taints which it is difficult to eradicate later. We who can observ the home less and the foundling child know how much harm and suffering can be wrought by ignorance and in difference of parents. I am not afraid to venture the prediction that progressivencss in these things—in the establishment of institutions for public educa tion in such matters, in general facilities for education—will be come universal.

All this Mrs. Barnwell in Atlanta views with hopeful eyes. “It Is a sign that the world is grow ing better." she said. 'T believe that this progressiveness in such matters will become universal, and that At lanta \\II1 not be long in taking steps for public Instruction and training in these things.

Sept. 6.— That the Mormon Church heirarchy in Salt Lake City practically has decid ed to abandon its Mexican coloniza tion scheme and devote all of its out side energies to the development of its lands and settlements in southern Alberta, was the announcement made semi-offlcially at Cardston, south of Calgary, last week, on the occasion of the visit of Joseph F. Smith, of Utah, head of the church. Mr. Smith came to Alberta to dedi cate the site of the new temple to be built at Cardston. and the first to be erected outside of Salt Lake. President Smith made no secret of the fact that the church of the Latter Day Saints had great development plans for the country south of Cal gary. The church owns hundreds of thousands of acres of lands in this territory, and is prepared to add to its holdings as often as it can, no matter what price has to be paid. President Smith also indicated that the church would make an attempt to buy out the Blood Indians, who own a large reserve in the Mormon terri tory. He said he did not care what the Indians wanted for their lands. Tells Court Pitiful Story of How Husband Eloped With Her Daughter. LOS ANGELES, Sept.
