Into this trap the Red army, flushed

advanced beyond withdrawal well into
the trap when infantry and battery

small crowd assembled outside the
prison, but there were no Indians
among them. The raising Of the black
flag and the tolling of the prison bell
announced the completion of the exc
cution. An English lecturer named
McMasters, who has just arrived from
India. vainly applied for admission on
the ground that he was a friend of
Dhinagri. McMasters declared that
the murderer was sane when he COM

a symbolic protest against British rule
in India.
Dhnagri showed no signs of fear.
He declined to partake OF breakfast
and walked to the scaffold calmly.
Death was instantaneous.

President Taft Plays Golf
Despite the Storm
Mrs. Taft Makes Good Pro-
gress to Health.
Assistant Secretary Of Treasury
To Visit President Today.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 11.-PreSident
Taft braved a northeast storm and n
steady downpour of rain today to play
IS holes of golf at Myopia with Charles
p Taft, his brother, and Samuel Carr,
of Boston, as opponents. The rain got
the better OF the President this after
noon. however, and he had to foreg }
his customary automobile ride with
Mrs. Taft. 1t was the first real rainy
day of the vacation and the first time
the afternoon motor trip has been ADAM
doned. The gloomy afternoon was
spent indoors, the family sitting in 4
circle about log fire in the library of
the cottage, with the rain swept bay
visible through the misted windows.
Mrs. Taft's return to health has
progressed so far that her sister. Mrs.
Louis More of Pittsburg, who has been
her constant companion since the
nervous breakdown in Washington, will!
leave Beverly on Monday to spend the
last end of the summer with her huS-
band, Professor More, at Biddeford
Pool, Me. Mrs More gladly gave up
her entire summer to be with her sis
ter and the fact that she is leaving
now is the best indication of how thor
oughly the mistress of the White
House has recovered. Mrs. Taft will
remain in Beverly until Oct. 1 or after
before returning to Washington. Pro-
fessor and Mrs. More probably will use
the Presidents yacht Sylph for their
trip to Maine. The tidy little yacht
has been lying idle in the harbor ever
since Mrs. Taft first came to the cot
tage on Beverly cove.
The assistant secretary of the treas
ury, Mr. Norton, is due in Beverly to-
morrow to take up some financial mat
tiers with the President. Just what his
mission is was not stated today. There
are number of questions pended
which might easily account for his
visit. For one thing, Mr.. Norton has
charge of the internal revenue division
which will collect the new corporation
tax. The question of the issue of
Panama bonds may also be taken up.
The problem of distributing loans 10
national banks for the movement Of
crops also is pending. The treasury
recently called in a big proportion of
its deposits but since the beginning
of the new fiscal year and the passage
" '''e NC" TAI III plil the receipts nave
been steadily increasing. The secre-
tary of the treasury, Mr. MacVeagh,
who Is spending the summer at Dublin
N. H., may run over to Beverly any
day. ~

Friday. Mr.. Wickersham will under
take to recommend to the President
the proper way of bringing about d.

Jerome Changes His Mind
About Persch Case.
Doesn't Believe Persch Was
Catspaw for Others.
Saws He Will Consider Reduction
OF Bail II Prisoner Confesses.

New York, Aug. 17.-In opposing ap-
plica.ion for reduction of the $4,000
bail under which Donald l.. Persch.
note broker, is being held on grand
larceny indictment, District Attorney
Jerome today declared that although
he first believed that the wrongful sale
of Heinze mining stock collateral In
which Persch is alleged to have figured
was but one of the ramifications of a
conspiracy in which men in high H.
nance" had combined to crush riv-
all he is now convinced that it was
a vulgar steel"
Persch was arraigned to plead to the
Indictment which charges him with
having procured from the Windsor
Trust Co. and sold about 100000 worth
of mining stock which M. A. Joyce. a
broker, who frequently acts for +. Au-
gustus Heinze. had deposited as collat-
eral for loan negotiated through the
trust company. In arguing for a re-
duction of bail John F. Mcintyre.
Perscf's attorney, declared that Persch
had been "a catspaw in the hands of
wiser and more experienced men,
Mr.. Jerome said that he could not con-
sent to a reduction of bail, but that he
would be glad to arrange for a speedy
trial. The ramifications of the conspiracy
were extensive, he declared and there
was no doubt that Persch did not act
alone in the matter
From the aspect presented by the case
now, it does not look as if men high in
finance were combined in a deal to crush
a rival'' declared the district attorney
ut was just a vulgar conspiracy" The
district attorney added that "a financial
institution had been unjustly placed in
the public eye" and declared that a
breach of trust by an employee was re-
sponsible.
Persch's attorney was unable to get the
court to consent to the reduction of bail
No plea was entered to the indictment,
the matter going over until Monday, Mr.
Jerome declaring that if in the meantime
Persch should decide to tell the district
attorneys Office the entire facts concern
ing the transaction in which it was
claimed he was an instrument in the
hands of dishonest people," the district
attorneys Office would be glad to consid-
er the reduction of bail.
