Clark were named but each de- clined with the exception of Mrs Hatton and it soon appeared that there was op- position to Mrs. Hatton which was of a personal nature.
 Confusion reigned and there was much excitement in the Auditorium. Mrs. Schaffer of Pennsylvania arose and said she was ashamed of Ohio and others fol- lowed in the same strain. The Ohio wo- men promptly defended themselves and Mrs Hatton, whose position was un- happy to degree at this time, suggested three minutes of silent prayer, which was followed by the recitation of the Lord s prayer in concert. Mrs. Hatton resigned from the contest and truce was declared by the calling of an Ohio meeting to be held at the close of the session.

have been very quiet in the last year. They all believe Bresci was either mur- dered under circumst tances which would admit of 1t being claimed that he had committed suicide or else had been tor tured until he became a raving maniac.
 Pero Murrati of Paterson, N. J., close friend of Bresci, said that Bresci was too brave a man to commit suicide. Even" said Murrati If Bresci had desired to kill himself. where could he have ob- tained the means. How could man com init suicide who was under ground night and day. No, he was murdered-murdered by the order of the government.
 At the meeting of the Paragon Silk Mill Workers the Italian government was savagely denounced and Bresei lauded as a hero and martyr.

Sir Thomas Confident.

Southampton, May 23.-At conference of his constructors and advisers held this afternoon on board the Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton said he was determined to go ahead with the Shamrock II and left it to them to decide how this best could be done. It was agreed to cable the New York Yacht Club asking that the date of the contest be postponed until the first week in October in order to allow time for the necessary repairs.
 Speaking of the improvements in the Shamrock I Sir Thomas said he had no doubt that this yacht had improved since she sailed in American waters but that he felt perfectly certain she was far from being as good a boat as the Challenger. The latter he said. had been improving daily and although he now had only bare hull, without stick over, he was satisfied that on her reappearance the Challenger would justify his confidence in her.

BEGIN THEIR TERMS.
United States Officers Guilty of De
 frauding the Government.


 Manila. May 23.-At Bilibid prison, Ma nila, three former United States officers tonight began to serve sentences in ex- piation of crimes in connection with the commissary scandals Captain Barrows, late depot quartermaster of the depart ment of southern Buzon, Is sentenced to five years imprisonment; Capt. J. S. Reed late depot commissary at Manila, to three years imprisonment, and Lieut.. Frederick Boyer, late depot commissary at Clamba, to one year imprisonment.
 By order of the provost marshal. Gen. George W. Davis, a representative of the Associated Press was accorded an inter- view with the prisoners Captain Barrows and Reed seemed to be comparatively unmoved by their situation. Lieutenant Boyer protested his innocence and seemed vindictive toward Captain Barrows, whom he alone alleged was guilty of misapppropriation.
 Major Hale, commandant of the prison, cleared an old storeroom, to be occupied by the trio, to keep them sepa- rate from the Filipino prisoners but as Lieutenant Boyer avoids speaking to Captain Barrows. still other arrange ments must be had.
 The question of transportation of the TOO teachers engaged to come to the Phil ippines is so serious that Judge Taft has cabled Secretary Root requesting that transports be detailed of that other spe- oial arrangements be made, as, owing to the movement of troops, there are no accommodations on the steamers. Only two arrived by the last two transports.
 The commission Is solving the problem of procuring accommodations for Ameri- can teachers in Manila within their in comes by authorizing the fitting up of the government exposition building for lodging purposes. Rooms will be rented them at nominal cost

Claims Her Husband Did Not Commit
 Suicide.

New York, May 2S.-When seen at her home, Hoboken, N. J., today, Mrs. Bresci maintained that Bresci did not commit suicide.
 "He was murdered" she said, repeating the words again and again. "I had a letter from him one week ago. she said. ''He was allowed to write one letter every four months. He told me of his treat ment. He was kept in a cell out in the rocks, down under the water level, and they did everything to make him insane, so he would kill himself, but they would never succeed in making him do that He may have been insane. probably he was. He was starved He saw no one and spoke to no one. It must have been dreadful and I don't see how he lived. He was a man who could eat only good food and they fed him food unfit for anyone to eat. Most men would have yielded and, committed suicide. but Bresci did not They despaired of his doing so and murdered him, am sure of it."
