William Trent Pleads in
Providence Court.
He Denies Having Committed
Highway Robbery.


Providence, f. l., Feb. 23.-Every
precaution against his escape was TAX
en- by the police when they brought
William Trent of Boston and New Jer-
sey, alleged murderer and highway
man. before the crowded sixth district
court today to plead not guilty to the
charges against him. The mans hands
were locked together by a double pair
of handcuffs, fastened to large leath-
er belt which in turn was strapped
tightly about his body. He was guard
ed by two deputy sheriffs. Joseph Il.
Dixon, a sailor, from South Boston
pleaded guilty Of being an accomplice
to one of the holdups charged against
Trent and was held without bail for
the next session of the grand jury.
Trent entered the courtroom with an
air of unconcern. Every available seat
was taken and crowds were standing,
while others unable to gain admission
peered through the windows. Judge
Frank Gorham told the prisoner that
he was charged with the holdup Of
George Scrogy on Canal street and of
Benedict G. O'Connor in his Broadway
drug store. mot guilty." said the man
in a sharp, quick voice. He was then
held for trial March without bail and
will probably be bound over to the
grand jury at that time. the officials
said. ..
When the case comes before the
grand jury the police say that the mur-
der of ex-Alder1nan William F. Meag-
her of Pawtucket and the murder Of
Louis Mover, the Ship street junk deal
er will be charged against Trent. They
believe they have evidence enough to
convict him.
The police stated this afternoon that
they had learned that Trent sent all
the money he is alleged to have secur-
ed in various hold-ups to someone out
side the city. They said further that
Dixon was released from the Provi-
dence county Jail on Feb. IL, after
serving a short term for larceny. 1t
was on Feb. IL that Mover, the junk
dealer, was murdered.
The many recent acts of violence in
this state and the capture Of Trent
and Dixon have so aroused public sem
timent that a strong movement has
developed in favor Of placing on the
statute books a law providing for
capital punishment for murder in the
first degree. An act to that effect was
introduced in the House today by Rep.
D. w. Bullock OF Pawtucket. Life
is at present the ex-
treme penalty for murder in Rhode
Island.

talked about in this city among men

President Taft and his advisers have

1t is plain that the department of

prising within 1t the Panama canal,

Wilkdsbarrd, Pa, May 25.--Rlot
and bloodshed now mark the strike
or the Pennsylvania Coal company
miners. The state constabulary
clashed with the strikers yesterday
morning and at least three men were
shot. The victims were carried to
their homes and are being shielded
by their comrades. Nearly all the
men now out are Italians and a poll
Of the idle ones yesterday afternoon
shows 1900 men out.
Excessive dockage Is the cause of
the strikes which include every Penn
sylvania company colllery in the wy
oming and Lackawanna valleys.
I Tony Bernaidi, striker. was shot
by stockade men at the No. IA tun-
mel and Is now dying. The ball en-
tered his neck and lodged at the base
OF the brain. Frati Zesto, another
striker, was shot by the same men
behind the company stockades, the
ball entering the heart, killing him
instantly. The mine workers officials
are powerless to order the men to
return to work. The antagonism of
the Pennsylvania officials to the
miners union has dwindled their
ranks ana most OF the men now on
strike are non-union men.
The situation is serious one. The
entire command of troop B, state con-
stabulary, has been ordered to the
mines.

WANTS FARMS
FOR DRUNKARDS


st. Louis, Mo-, May 25.-Recom-
mendation for farm for drunkards
and plea for removal of the least
semblance of criminal aspect from
juvenile courts were features of to-
days session of the national confer
ence of charities and corrections. Dis
cussng juvenile courts Bernard Flex-
ner of Louisville, Kentucky, said
further changes must be made in the
operation of the courts.
Bailey B. Barrett, assistant secre-
tary of the state charities association
OF New York, charged that the ex-
cessNe use of alcohol Is responsible
for one-third of the insane cases and
from thirty to forty per cent. of all
epileptics. The practice o ftreating
drunkenness solely as penal problem
with no medical aspect, was useless,
the speaker declared. He believed
the problem should be treated as a
medical ease with penal aspects, In
stead OF penal case with medical
aspects aud recommended a more ad
equate system of identifying cases of
alcoholism in order to sift out the
"rounder'
Barrett recommended new method
for the punishment of drunkards in
Guiding releasing first Offenders on
probation. The development of farm
and hospital colonies to which habit
ual drunkards might be committed
and where they could be given plenty
of outdoor work and medical care,
was recommended.

In event Curtiss is held back b,

Curtiss has built an aeroplant

several experiments with his aero.

hazardous because of the cross cur
