ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE Q.

AFTER more than year has elapsed
since Calvin Johnson, Richard Pines
and Eugene Dorsey were tried and con
victed and sentenced to death fol par
ticipation in the murder Of Walter f.
Schultz. the Chicago artist, on the night
of March s, 1909, Governor Mann
finally disposed of the case today by
committing their sentences to imprlson-
ment for life. Henry Smith, the ne
gro who furnished material evidence
upon which they were convicted, was
elertrocuted last Friday. When ar
raigned in the Corporation Court last
December he plead innocent OF vOlun-
tary participation in the crime, but
avarred that he was forced TO become Il
party at the point OF Il pistol and re-
fused to plead guilty of murder in the
second degree. After jury from
Charlottesville, however, had declared
him guilty of murder in the first degree,
he repudiated the statement he had
made at the trials of Johnson, Pines,
Dorsey and himself, and said his story
on the stand was baseless-that he knew
nothing of the murder, and that the
three men awaiting execution were
innocent. The fact that he repeated
the story Of the murder with all its de-
tails half a dozen times, never varying
in the least until he found himself i'll the
shadow Of the electric chair, is sugges-
tive. Johnson, Pines and Dorsey plead
not guilty when first arraigned in the
Police Court. They also maintained
their innocence when brought before
the Corporation Court and, 50 far as
known. have made no other statements
They attempted to establish 'allbls dur
ing their trials but failed and circum-
stances were brought out which were
against them. After Smith had been
sentenced to death he declared that the
true facts in connection with the muir
der would not be known until he reach
ed the electric chair. Many supposed
he meant that he would make con
fession. He failed to do this, however,
and it believed there are details in con-
nection with the crime which remain
to be told.

London, June 9.-There will be ne
keynote" speech by Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt to open the next Congress
sional campaign as planned by the mer
in control Of the Leagne of Republican
Clubs. The annual convention Of that
organization, to be held in New York
next month, will have to get along
without the inspiration or the presence
of the former president Not only that
but the story that he has planned a
speaking tour which will carry him
from New York westward as far as the
Rocky Mountains and south to Texas is
not founded on fact. He has made no
plans for political speeches nor will he
until he reaches his home in Oyster Bay.
Roosevelt today authorized the United
Press to deny the report that he accept
ed the invitation Of Congressman j.
Hampton Moore. of Philadelphia TO adj
dress the League Of Republican Clubs.

not be present and make an address,

Andreas quoted an Anti-Saloon
Lcogue member that 3S, 100000 people
were now residing in prohibition states,
and against this cited the fact, AS
shown by Internal Revenue receipts,
that in the Ii years of prohibition, the

. A MAJORITY Of the tax payers will
be glad to learn that the ship subsidy
investigation on which a select COM
mittee of the House has been engaged
for weeks, will not be concluded in
time for report to Congress at this

ever, that the committee will meet
during recess and will report at the
aext session. After all the witnesses
asked for by both sides have been
heard, the members purpose to hear
witnesses whose testimony is wanted
bv the committee itself. Sittings may

Rooseyelt,s Guild Hall speech.

London, June 8.-The first move on
the part of the conservatives to make
capital of Mr.. Rooseyelt's Guild Hall
address will be taken next Monday,
according to an announcement today
by Sir Henry Dalziel that he will ask
Foreign Secretary Grey whether the
government has lost confidence in Sir
Eldon Gorst, the British agent and
consul general Of Egypt.
Dalziel is liberal member OF the
Parliament and his query, it IS expect
ed, will force the government either to
give its approval or disapproval to
Gorst's administration, which was in
ferentially attacked by Roosevelt IN the
Guild Hall speech. The conservatives
insist that Roosevelt's stridtures on
England's policy in Egypt we're well
taken and they wish to bring the ques-
ton to an issue before the impression
created by this speech is effaced.

ALFONSO COLLAPSES,
Serious Conditions In spsin-Warnings
of Plot.


Madrid, June Accompanying his
recent physical breakdown King Al
fonso has suffered a collapse of the
wonderful nerve which characterized
him during the earlier days of his reign
until today court life is seriously inter-
fered with by the elaborate precautions
he is taking against violence. The revo-
lutionary conditions throughout the
empire manifested in almost daily
bomb outrages, are believed to warrant
the extreme care taken by Alfonso.
Though the vatican has denied the story
that a warning was sent by Cardinal
Merry del Val to Alfonso and, also to
King Manuel OF Portugal of wide
spread plot for a pan-Latin republic,
there is no longer much doubt that
such a conspiracy exists or that it is
backed by powerful interests, probably
the European continental Masons.
This organization is wholly different
from the Masonic organizations Of Eng
land and America, the former Of which
may be expected soon to repudiate the
Spanish and Portuguese lodges as they
have already done those Of France and
Italy, on account of their participation
in political and religious controversies.
The pan-Latin movement is never ex-
pected to become formidable in France
or Italy, but in Spain and Portugal,
where the miserable condition. Of the
people and the corruption AMI ineft-
cheney of the governments is believed
to justify hostility to the existing mon
arches, there is every likelihood that
the consprators will meet with popular
support and become exceedingly dan
nnrnna
