LACKED A REHEARSAL
INDIANA (PA.) HANGING WAS
NOT A SUCCESS.

INDIANA, Pa. August 27.-The first
hanging in this county for more than
twenty years took place here today, and
was not a success, as, owing to the break
Ing of the rope, the operation had to be
repeated.
The victim Of the law was Carmine
Renzo, aged forty-five years, and weighing
ITS pounds. The weight of the man and
the drop Of five feet proved too much for
the strength Of the rope. which snapped
when the trap was sprung, precipitating
Reszo to the ground The jail attendants
hurriedly loosened the rope around his
neck while others adjusted a new rope to
the scatfold. and the man, already half
dead, was carried to the platform and the
lever again sprung. This time the drop
was effective.
The crime which Renzo expiated today
was the murder OF his sweetheart, Marian
Bearno. aged fifteen years. at her home in
Ernest. two years ago. 1t had been agreed
that Renzo should marry the girl provid-
ing he paid the passage Of herself and
parents tc this country. He did this, and
when the girl refused to wed him he shot
her.

preparations SO that 1t will be about the
middle of the month Of December before
the actual start Is made. The Navy De-
partment has caused several conditional
itineraries to be prepared. but, it is stated,
that none Of them Is to be regarded as
final, and they are all subject to changes
such as would be made necessary by
change in the date Of the start, involving,
OF course, alterations of the dates of ar
rival and departure from the various ports
at which the feet Is to touch.
Return to the Pacific.
It is again stated that no decision has
yet been reached as to the route by which
the ships shall return to the Atlantic It
Is pointed out that there is no present ne
cessity for decision in that matter for
many months to come. The fleet is due ac-
cordinR to present calculations. off San
Francisco about May 1 next. so that if the
department issues the return orders by
March there will be no lack of time
1t Is settled at last that the battleships,
or at least a number Of them. will go into
Puget Sound. The exact number will be
determined by the capacity Of that body of
water to accommodate the big vessels, for
it is a curious fact that the very excellence
of Puget Sound as a harbor in the vicinity
of Bremerton. where the navy yard Is To-
Gated. operates to reduce its availabi for
the reception Of large number of ships.
The reason is that the water is generally
too deep for safe anchorage. The battle
SHIPS carry only 100 fathoms of anchor
chains and most of the water is more than
sixty fathoms deep, SO that as safe prac-
tice REQUIRES the anchor chains to be not
less than three times the depth of water.
only few vessels can be accommodated
near Bremerton at one time.
II the decision as to route Is in favor
OF a return by way Of Cape of Good Hope
the fleet Will sail from San Francisco
about the end Of next summer straight
away across the Pacific, calling at HOMO
lulu and probably heading thence for Aus
tralia. If the SueZ route is selected then
the fleet will probably, leaving Puget
Sound, swing to the northwest, skirtfng
the coast of British Columbia for a short
distance and following along the Aleutian
Isles, cross the Pacific by the shortest
great circle route, which will take the
ships close to the shores OF Janan- and
thence to Manila, where they will make a
short stop before passing through the
Straits OF Malacca and entering the In
dian ocean.
Changes in Command.
1t has been decided at the Navy Depart
ment to relieve some of the present COM
manding officers of the battleships before
this cruise is begun, because they will have
already served nearly the full tour of sea
duty. Thus, among the officers who are
shown to have already had two full years
of sea service in their present commands
are Capt Harry Barry of the Kentucky,
Capt Herbert Winsow of the Kearsarge
and Capt. Comfy Of the Alabama There
will be some other changes IN command
ranks, not on account of length OF sea
service. but because the officers are too old
and near the age for retirement, so that
Admiral Evans personnel list will be very
different when he sails away for the Pacific
from its present composition.

BASED ON JUDGE lands ACTION
Venezuelan Court Heavily Fines an
American Asphalt Company.

Mr.. Adee. acting secretary of state, has
found amusing feature in the action of
the Venezuelan court in assessing a fine,
which may amount to s15,0O0,0OO, against
the New York and Bermudez Company
upon its conviction of having financed
revolution against the Castro government
a number of years ago. That which arouses
Mr.. Adee to mirth is the statement that
the court found precedent in the United
States for the assessment of huge fines
against a corporation that had offended
ated and Mr.. Adee. commenting upon the
aptness of the Latin court in following
American example. said: But the court
will not so easily find a precedent for the
word precedent appears to be spelled

Ten Knots Per Hour to Be
Speed on the Cruise to
the Pacific.

Acting Secretary Newberry returned to
Washington yesterday bringing word Of the
conclusions reached at the Oyster Bay con-
ference last week between the President,
Rear Admiral Evans, Rear Admiral Brown
son, chief of navigation bureau, and him.
self, relative to the projected cruise Of the
great battleship fleet from the eastern to
the western coast Of the United States by
way of the Straits Of Magellan. Necessarily
these conclusions were on broad lines, and
1t was found expedient to leave to Admiral
Evans and his staff the arrangement Of the
details Of the itinerary Of the voyage, and
to the heads of the various naval bureaus
the preparations which will make 1t pos
sible for the great fleet to leave the At
lantic coast in perfect condition for this
voyage of 1912 knots.
Even up to this moment it has been i'm
possible to precisely fix the date Of de-
parture of the Atlantic fleet.
To Sail in December.
Everything will be r. readiness for the
fleet to sail on December l. and the date
of departure will be some time between De-
cember 1 and 10. All of the orders to the
heads Of bureaus are of an oral character
AS arranged the itinerary provides for ten
knots an hour, which is regarded as the
most economic speed for the fleet This
will permit the colliers to accompany the
fleet for part of the voyage on the Atlantic
side. Starting with full bunkers of coal
the ships will require, In addition. 100 5O4
tons, not counting the coal that will he
burned by the torpedo boats, which will be
provided by merchants en- route.
This great supply of coal must be pro-
vided by Golfers. Four small collers, the
Hannibal, Marcellus, Sterling and Nanshan
carrying 1900 tons each, will accompany
the fleet to Trinidad, and five larger col
liers, the Ajax, Abaranda, Brutus, Caesar
and Nero. carrying 1900 tons each, will go
as far as Rio Janeiro. 1t will be necessary
to charter twelve additional colliers, and
four of these will meet the fleet at Sandy
Point Magellan straits: four at Callao,
Peru, and four at Magdalena bay. Each
of the cOlliers will carry 5000 tons of coal.
Magdalena bay will be reached about
March according to plans, but the
itinerary at this point gives ten days ad-
ditional Target practice there will con-
tinue for about a month. Some of the
battleshipS will then go to Puget sound,
and part to San Francisco.
Getting Ships Ready.
From this time on the preparation of the
Panther, which is to be equipped as a re-
pair ship to accompany the fleet, and the
Glacier and the Culgoa, which will go along

VIRGINIA After Labor

The demand for farm labor and do
mestic help which has been constantly
growing in the southern States seems to
be taking on unusual activity.
South Carolina, il will be remembered,
only few weeks ago succeeded for the
first time in landirg more than 500 for
eign laborers to be employed 10 her fac
tories. This was only accomplished
after an application had been made to
Washington through the Department
of Commerce and Labor, which permit
tel the entry of these aliens under
special decision promulgated by Secrs-
iary Slrans.
The decision MAS hailed With delight
in the southern States. aud IS al evil
dence of the desire TO obtain l0reign
laborers other States are making effort TO
secure desirable immigration. Virginia
has followed suii, aud United States
Commissioner of Immigration Weis yes
terday received letter from the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Immigration OF
the Commonwealth of Virginia. The
Commissioner, in replying TO this com
munication, sets forth the fact that If the
conditions are the sane as were those in
the case Of South Carolina, the laborers
will probably be permitted to land.
