cry of "Vive Pansrchie" on his lips the
head of the trembling assassin was sev-

mistaken cause.
There was no unusual demonstration
attending the execution. The news of
the decision to execute Santo in the
early morning spread rapidly. notwith-

could hardly etand, and his limos were
so stiff from cold and fright that his
clothes were put on him with the u smost
difficulty.
In reply to the question whether he
would have breakfast, Santo declined
either food or drink. He also refused re-
ligious consolation.
At 80 Santo was led out Of his cell
by the guards. His face was deadly
pale. AS he was being fastened down
he cried: "Vive l'anarchie !"

When Governor Raux spoke to Santo
of his mother the condemned mans
eyes filled with tears and he nearly

his habitual indifference, although still
pallid and trembling. From this mo-

When he was assisted into the wagon

ORGANIZED ANARCHISTS.
DISCIPLES OF HERR MOST IN
CHICAGO.
Systematic Burning of Houses for ths
Revenue Derived Therefrom-One
of the Indicted Cuiprits
Confesses.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Carl Herlitz and
wife were hold over to the grand jury,
under bonds of $1,000 and $4,000 re-
spectively, by Justice Caldwell of the
Enslewood police court today on charges
Of arson. Herlitz pleaded guilty to the
charge, but his wife denies her guilt.
Both people have been living at WASH
ington Heights, and it was declared by
Fire Inspector Conway in court this
morning that they are at the head OF q
gang OF anarchists who have been guilty
OF committing snarchistic offenses not
only for sentiment but for the revenue
derived therefrom.
In giving his testimony against Her
litz and his wife Inspector Conway told
a remarkable story. He stated he had
! indispu.able evidence to show that an
organized gang OF students of Herr
Most's theories aud methods had been
operating in Chicago and vicinity.
They had been carrying out their theo-
riea by burning or blowing Up houses to
secure insurance.

and met a man named Scharf. who in
structed him in anarchistic doctrines.
Later Schsrf suggested that the most
rational way to secure reversals for CAP
ltalists was to get after the insurance
com panies. Bombs aud other anarchistic
parsphernalia were adopted for use. and
operations were commenced. Scharf
did the preliminary work, but lett the
actual firing to Herltz and was to re-
ceive per cent from money received
from the insurance companies. Harlitz
said that Schari had many other pulls
and derived big revenue on the per
cent. 1t is claimed that the compenea-
tion OF Herltz for each fire for hich he
was responsible was 500.
Seven people were today awaiting
grand jury action. They were: Karl
Herlitz, Mrs. Karl Herlitz, August Nell
son, William Schari, John Baaman,
August Shsbosky, John Newman. Many
finely constructed bombs have been
found, some attached to delicate clock

Rumors of Naval Battles Between Japs
and Chiness.
LONDON, Aug. ia Yokohama special
to the Chronicle says rumor has reached
there of an important naval engagement
between the Japanese ard Chinese naval
fleets off Wei hal Wei ON August 10Th.
Several Chinese vessels belonging to the
northern squadron were sunk, according
to the report.
Private kilograms from Yokohama
say seven Chinese vessels were sunk in
the recent engagement with the Japan
ese. This report lacks confirmation, and
probably arose from the statement re-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-For five hours
this afternoon the senate debated the
question of proceeding Immediately
to the consideration of the house bill
placing sugar, raw and refined, ON the
free list. The debate was marked by
one Of the most sensational speeches OF
the session. Senator Vest turned on
the calcium light in speech OF two and
half hours. He, smarting under
what he believed to be unjust criticism
and ISLANDERS heaped upon himself.
rallied with fine frenzy against the presi-
dent and all who had assailed him
(Vest) and his associates on the finance
com mittee, or their motives. He gave
complete history of the struggles in
conference and justified the action OF
the senate conferess throughout.
Mr.. Villas defended the administra-
tion againet the aspersions put upon il
by the senator, and also favored imme-
diate action, as did Mr.. Mills Of Texas.
At :l5 the clerk oil the house brought
to the senate the tariff bill, and at 1927
p. m. the vice-president signed it.
The bills to place coal, iron ore and
bar bed wire on the free list were then
read. Then Harris had letter read,
just received from Secretary Carlisle,
concerning the effect of the proposed
bills upon revenues.
The letter of the secretary reviewed
the condition of the treasury and sstim-
ated the revenues of the government for
the next fiscal year. The figures show
that under the tariff bill just sent to the
president the revenues would exceed the
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
