italian Ambassor at Washington Has
Taken Up Italians Case-Writes
Governor Mead

The Italian ambassador at Washing
! ton has taken up the case Of Franh
Pasquale, the Tacoma Italian who is
under sentence Of death for murder in
| the first degree. 1t is alleged that Pas
quale is insane, and the governor has
taken cognizance of the case, to the
extent of writing to Pierce county fol
information.
The Italian ambassador, Edmondc
Mayor des Planches, first took up the
case with the national secretary OF
state, who forwarded his note to Gov
ernor Mead. The note of the ambas-
sador follows:
Royal Ambassy of Italy, Washington
D. c., June Fl, 1905.
"Mr Secretary Of State:
1.-The supreme court Of the state OF
Washington has just rejected the ap-
peal of one Pasquale Franco, sem
fenced to death by the criminal court
of Tacoma, because, as it seems, of an
inability of his counsel, T. D. Page, to
produce or complete in good time, all
the paper required by law in all ap-
peal cases.
application might be made to the
governor of the state for communication
of the sentence of death to imprison-
ment for life, but there exists a cir
cumstance which should first be
brought forward; it is the information
brought forward by an authorized and
trustworthy person, that Franco has
been of unsound mind from time to
time when ne committed the offense,
and is besides affected with epilepsy.
Under these conditions I venture
to have recourse to your excellency's
we'll known equity, to the end that you
may be pleased to obtain from the
governor the appointment of a COM
mission of experts who would inquire
into the mental cCfQlllOIl Ol L IdllCO,
and report whether or not he is of
unsound mind.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, ETC.,
MAYOR"
Governor Mead has written the fol-
lowing letter to Prosecuting Attorney
Charles O. Bates, of Pierce county:
Dear Sir: The state department of
Washington has referred to me for my
consideration and reply, a letter from
the Italian ambassador, requesting the
appointment of a commission of eX-
perts to inquire into the mental condi-
ton of one PasQuale Franco, sentence
ed to death at Tacoma.
4 would be obliged if you would re-
port to me Immediately by letter the
status of the case. For your informa-
ton l enclose herewith a copy of the
letter to the secretary of state, from
the Italian ambassador, forwarded to
me by the state department.
Very truly yours,

RYAN is A PLUNGER,
Equitable May Be Waterloo of the
Wall Street Operator.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Walter Wellman
in New York special to the Record
Herald says:
Thomas F. Ryan is the greatest
plunger in town. He stands to make or
break on this Equitable deal. 1t is a
toss up to which it is to be-
by one Of the most powerful leaders of
the financial world-a man vino knows
Mr.. Ryan and his career and charac-
ter thoroughly, and to whom the inner
secrets of the financial district are an
open book.
Probably Wall street never saw a
more ambitious or daring venture than
the purchase of a majority of the stock
of the Equitable Life Assurance soci-
ETY. by Mr.. Ryan. Wall street is ac-
customed to high play, to bold coups,
to dashes out of the box for big stakes
1t is never astonished when a daring
operator makes a plungs in stocks or
promotes a big corporation or com
bination.
But this was something new. This
stroke of Ryan's was a sort Of thing
Wall street had little dreamed of. TIC
buy outright control of one of the
greatest life insurance companies in
the world, to acquire by the passage OF
one small check the mastery of a very
Gibraltar of finance, to put two and a
half millions in the slot and draw ou'
the power to manipulate a surplus o.
eighty millions-this was Napoleonit
| indeed. This was we'll calculated tc
make even the most hardened veteran
of the financial word "sit up
Napoleonic, yes. But it is still tc
early to tell whether Ryan's venture If
| Equitable is to be for him an AuSter-
litz, a Moscow, or a Waterloo.
