DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED
Jury at Denver Convicts Muir.
derer of a Priest.

Denver, March 13.-"Is there no ap-
peal?" These were the only words
spoken by Giuseppe ALA when in
formed by the Interpreter that the
jury found him guilty of murder in the
first degree and fixed sentence at
death.
Just eighteen days after firing the
shot which brought death to Father
Francis Leo Heinrichs at the altar in
st. Elizabeth's Catholic church, while
in the act OF administering the holy
sacrament, this waif from Italy, all
alleged but not proven anarchist,
heard his doom.
In the courtroom not three blocks
from the church where he committed
his crime and within the sound of the
chimes which he said drew him to
that church, ALA received the judg-
ment delivered by jury of his peers.
Stolid to the last he simply nodded
his head and whispered to the inter
prefer: els there no appeal?" Then
his chin sank on his breast and he
made no further comment.
After his conviction ALA made a
desperate attempt to escape by slash
ing the throat of guard. The latter
was not seriously hurt and ALA was
quickly overpowered.

MASSACRE IS FEARED
Conditions In Hayti Suddenly As
sume Most Critical Stage.
May ATTACK CoNsuLATEs
Alleged RevoIutionists Are Being Ex.
ecuted and the Government Threat.
ems to Go After Refugees Under
Foreign Protection.

Paris, March 1.-THE situation be.
tween the Haytian government and
France has become acute and critical.
The French legation at Port au Prince
Is menaced and general massacre of
the white residents of the island is
feared. This information was con-
veyed in an official dispatch to the
foreign Office from M. Carteron, the
French minister to Hayti.
The latter part of last week M.
Borno, the Haytian minister of state.
assured M. Carteron that Hayti would
agree to allow the refugees who had
taken asylum in the French consulates
at Gonaives and St Marc to leave the
island. Now there comes the news of
the execution at Port au Prince on
Sunday of between ten and twelve
prominent persons on the charge Of
conspiracy against the government, to-
gether with cablegram from M. Car
teron that General Nord Alexis, pres
ident of Hayti, had not only refused
to confirm the assurances given by M.
Borno but had fatty declined to per-
NIT the refugees in the consulates to
depart. Eleven additional persons
have taken asylum at the French le-
cation.
The French cruiser d'Estrees is ex-
pected very soon at Gonaives, where
she will act in cooperation with the
British and German ships of war now
on their way to Hayti.
1t is understood here that France,
Germany and Great Britain are act
ing in accord in this situation.
Firmin Among the Refugees.
General Antenor Firmin, who led
the last revolt in. Hayti, is among the
refugees under the French flag. The
foreign Office recognizes that the gen
eral and his followers are revolution
lists, but it declined to hand them over
to the Haytian government on the
ground that there were no assurances
that the men would have legal trial.
In this connection it was explained
that, according to French tradition,
any man who sought refuge under the
French flag should have at least tenl-
porary protection. The refugees num-
ber about 100 in all.
| The French foreign Office pointed
out recently that in taking this star
1t was only following out the French
traditional policy in Hayti and it ex-
planned that General Nord Alexis him.

the local situation is grave. General
Nord Alexis claims that the plot
against him was hatched in the French

1t has been known for some weeks
past that the "big sixteen" would ar
rive at its practicing ground ahead Of

such an excellent showing as this
would be made. The important fact
about 1t is that most of the four days

1t is astonishing how great a change
. few years of married life often make
in the appearance and disposition OF
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, a faint echo of the charming
maiden. Few young women appreciate
the shock of the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of its freshness and the form OF
its fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
