Man and Woman to Meet Death on
 January F.

Hackensack, N. J., Dec. 12-Antoin- cite Tolla, the Italian girl who shot the man who tried to win her from her husband last March, was to-ay sen- fenced to be hanged on January 12 next. Standing beside her during the sentence was Jerry Rossa, another Italian convicted of another murder, and he, too, was sentenced to be hang ed on the same day as the woman. Justice Garretson of the supreme court passed his double sentence in Rnglsh, winch neither of the prisoners under stood, It was translated to them. The young woman walked calmly from the room when the interpreter had finished but the man began to cry.
 Mrs. Tolla. who has two children, was in her own home in Kingsland, N. J., when Joseph Sonta camethere mak- ing loveto her, and she shot five times with a revolver. Rossa was convicted of killing Demetrio Dinofrio in Lodi, N. J., in February, 1904.

NO GENERAL STRIKE YET.
Russian People Refuse Challenge of
 Government.

St. Petersburg. Monday, Dec Il. ((morning) via Eydtkuhnen, East Prus- sia, Dec. 12.-Caution having prevailed over the fury aroused by the arrest of the strike leaders, the Werkmen' s council has rejected the proposition to order 8 general strike at present as un- timely, and has decided that the work men should bide their time patiently until all the preparations are complete. The council realized the weakness and unpreparedness of the workmen for a general conflict, and had been informed that the railroad men had already de- cided against strike.
 The remnants of the labor and so- cialist delegates held a secret meeting in the hall of the Economic society early this morning, and declined to &C., cept the challenge of the government, and adopted a resolution against the arrest of M. Krustaleff, the president of the executive committee of the Workmen's council, and the other St. Petersburg leaders, which, 1t was pointed out, was only local import ance, and did not furnish cause for a general strike. The resolution, how ever, declared that it was the sacred duty of all workmen to carry on the work begun by the arrested leaders of equipping and preparing the fighting legions of workmen for an armed up- rising, adding:
 "In the name of the future proletar- riat we refused to make any active protest at present"

INDETERMINATE SENTENCE.
Question Discussed at Annual Meeting
 of Prison Association.

Hartford, Dec. 12-The indetermIn- ate sentence came in for good share of discussion at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Prison association held this afternoon at the capital Secre- tary John c. Taylor of the association in his report read to-day comes out strongly and says that the plan has not been permitted to become of practical value because the courts still cling to tell how long convicted criminal ought to remain in prison and therefore they arrange sentences in such a way that the term of Imprisonment is prac- tically as clearly defined as if no in determinate sentence law was on the statute books. ..,..
 "The bill alluded to, which as enacted would have thoroughly eradicated the evil condition was juggled out of ex- istance by ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, but this bill will be introduced in the general assembly of 1907 and it deserves to receive fair ana serious treatment"
 Secretary Taylor also reported that 159 prisoners were released from the state prison during the past year, 119 of these having been by expiration. Secretary Tayor proposes state con- trol of jails and for a substantial re- duction in their number and adds that the county jail has never been credit to this or other states and suggests that state warehouses, take their place He said that two or three of these warehouses would take the place of the eight county jails to the great advan- tage of its penological standing and its treasury"
 Officers of the association were elect ed as follows:
 President-Rev. Henry M. Thompson, Hartford.
 Treasurer-C. O. Spencer, Hartford, Secretary-John c. Taylor, Hartford
 There is one vice president from 1 each county, as follows: Hartford county, Col. Francis Parson; New Ha- ven, Professor Henry w. Farnam; Fairfield, Frank Miller; New London, George Edward Harland; Litchfield, Elisha J. Steele; Middlesex, Theodore P. Fordham; Windham, John F. Car penter; Holland, Alfred R. Goodrich.

Annual Gathering of Interstate Build
 CTS, Contractors and Dealers.
 Bridgeport, Dec. 12.-The annual meeting of the Interstate Builders, Contractors and Dealers association was held here to-day at the board of trade rooms in the Taylor building on Cannon street. These officers were elected:

 The annual reports were read and re- ceiVed. The most important was that of General Organizer Beecher. It was an exhaustive document setting forth the conditions of the trade all over the territory covered by the association. The report showed that the conditions were, on the whole, eIninently satisfac- tory and in a prosperous condition. The report of the treasurer showed gains in the funds of the association.

MERIWETHER ESCAPES
 WITH MILD PUNISHMENT
CONFINED TO LIMITS OF NATAL ACADEMY FOR ONE
 FEAR.

Acquitted of the Charge of Man-
 sIaughter-Finding of Secretary
 BOnaparte No Congregational Action
 to be Asked-Satisfactory Interview
 Between Congressman Broissard and
 the Secretary of the Navy--Punish-
 ment Might Have Been More Severe.
 Washington, Dec. Confinement to the limits of the naval academy for the period of one year and a public reprimand by the secretary of the navy is the sentence of the court in the case of Midshipman Minor MeriWether, jr., tried by court martial at Annapolis on the charges of nanslaughter, violation of the third cluse of the eighth article for the government of the navy and conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline, all three charges arising from a fist fight between the accused and Midshipnan James R Branch, jr., on November last. Two days later Midshipman Branch died. The accused was acquitted of the first charge and found guilty of the second and third. Secretary Bonaparte to-day approved the findings and ordered that the sem tence be approved but that 'so much of the penalty as might depar the accused from service on any practice ship att tached to the academy be remitted." Early this morning the secretary re- ceived a call from Representative Broussard of Louisiana, from whose district Midshipman Meriwether was appointed to the naval academy and made known to him the sentence of the court and the departments action. thereon. MT. Broussard expressed his satisfaction with both and it is under stood that no congressional action will be asked in the case.
 As soon as the necessary copies could be made Secretary Bonaparte ordered that the sentence of the court and his review be made public. The secretary says there is perhaps room for some doubt whether the punishment Imposed might not have been made more Justly severe, and disapproves the action of the court in sustaining the challenge of Commander s. A. Staunton, as q member of the court on the ground of prejudice and in failing to sustain the challenge of Rear Admiral A. H. Nc Cormick, U. s. N, retired, on several grounds.
 In his review Of the case the secre- tary says:
 Under the first charge there was but one specification of which the ma, terial portion alleged that the accused at time and place specified did then and there with his fists, upon the body and head of the aforesaid James R. Branch jr., unlawfully and Wilfully strike number Of blows from the ef- fects of which blows the said James R. Branch jr., did at about ten hours ante meridian on the seventh day of Novem- Der. 1905, die; and the said Minor Meri- wether, jr., in the manner and by the means aforesaid did kill and slay the said James R. Branch, jr' The court found this specification not proved and the accused not guilty of the first charge and acquitted him thereof.

GEORGIA Po1ICYHoLDERs.
Formulate Plans to Protect Their In-
 terests in New York Life.

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 12.-The Georgia palicyholders in the New York Laife and the Mutual Life Insurance compa- nies met hereto-day to formulate plans to protect their interests at the annual meetings of the companies. The first session proved a stormy one. Strong language was used and uncomphment- ary epithets were applied A letter had been received from Thomas w. Lawson, requesting that he be given the proxies of the Georgia policyhold- CTS to be used by him at the annuel meetings of the companies. MT Law sons plans and methods were con- demned in no unmeasured terms by some, and by others as earnestly up- held. The disagreements of the morn ing session were not settled then, and adjournment was taken until evening. At that time 8 prolonged session was held and continued until nearly mid- night, with the result that resolution was adopted that the policyholders of the "old line' companies organize and the question of giving Mir. Lawson au- thority to represent the Georgia poll icyholders was left for final decision until the second Tuesday in February, 1906, when the committee of five on organization will report. This commit tee includes some of the leading citi- zens of Atlanta, including B. F. Mad dox, former president of the chamber of commerce.; Bishop c. K. Nelson, of the Episcopal church and others equal lY prominent.

MECHANICAL INEFFICIENCK.
New Yorl<'s Fire Chief Makes Charge
 Against Department.

New York, Dec. 12.-Mechanical inef- ficiency was declared to exist in nearly every detail of New York's fire protec- tive system by Fire Chief Croker to- day in letter commenting on the re- cent report of the National Fire Under writers to the effect that New York was in danger of a great conhagration.
 After stating that the city needs more fire apparatus, a new telegraph alarm system, better water supply, more modern hydrants and more stringent rules in constructing buildings and in handling explosives, MT. Croker writes:
 T do not anticipate any such thing as a conflagration. If the city was properly supplied with sufficient water and up-to-date hydrants and up-to-date fire alarm system, and the new com- panies already recommended, with new apparatus houses, the city will be as well protected from fires as any city in the United States.
 "The condition of the engines is large ly due to the inefficiency of the en- gineers.
