Plant we the ivy, here by the towers;
Dear to our hearth this ivy Of ours
Out from the pines of Bowdoin we roam,
Over the world to city and home
Soon must we wander far from thy ken
Guard thou our ivy, mother of men.
Memories fair link with the vine:
Dreams Of the future, our lives and thine.
Even as ivy clingeth TO stone
So may our love be ever thine own.
Pledge we our faith for now and for then.

After a feeling and appropriate prayer
the Seniors in even step hled down

WORKERS OF THE WORLD
VS.. STEEL TRUST,
BY Peter Power


VS.. STEEL TRUST.
A worldwide labor battle
against the United States Steel
corporation is being planned. Be-
cause of it's unrelenting war up
on the iron and steel workers,
marine workers and other organic
ed toilers, the steel trust has be-
come the most cordially hated cor
|poration in the country. The bit
ter feeling toward the steel trust
has gradually spread abroad and
it is believed that the psychology
ical moment has come to wage an
international boycott against the
two billion dollar octopus.
Next month the organized ma
rine and transport workers of ev-
cry country in the world will send
delegates to an international con-
ference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Among others, Andrew Furusetn
of San Francisco, president of the
International Seamen's Union, and
It. v. O'Connor of Buffalo. presi-
dent of the International Long
shoremen's association, will repre-
sent America.
While these men and their Or
CARNATIONS have been rivals and
engaged in jurisdictional contro-
versies that have been satisfactory
to nobody except the foes of labor,
they will work in harmony in
pressing the matter of arousing
the world against the American
trust.
1--WE are going to strike at the
trust from two directions, Capt.
O'Connor said to me, in discussing
his European mission. "First, we
will warn the workers of eastern
and southern Europe against COM
ing to America in hordes, as they
are now doing, to be ground into
profits in the trust mills. Secondly,
we will endeavor to restrict the
steel trusts markets abroad, and,
as labor in the old countries is be-
coming an immense political and
industrial power, we expect to meet
with considerable success in this
respect. The trust is pursuing a
rule or ruin policy toward the
working people, and we are going
to strike back" H

Cleared Of Murder Charge
By a Bag Of Red Apples
Mrs. Hitchcock, in Matteawan for
Alleged Murder of Husband,
Restored to Sanity by Sugges-
tion - Mystery of Tragedy Is
Cleared.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The
sight and smell OF some rosy red
apples restored the sanity of Mrs.
Charlotte Hitchcock and will prob
ably clear her of the charge of
numbering her husband, for which
alleged crime she is serving life
sentence in Matteawan.
While insane Mrs. Hitchcock
confessed to numbering her hus-
band. Flimsy circumstantial evil
dence supported her confession
and she was sent to Matteawan.
The sane Mrs. Hitchcock tells a
plain tale about her husband COM
uniting suicide. Investigation bears
out every detail of her story.
Her story brings out the value
of hypnotism in determining guilt
in battling crimes.
Hitchcock and his wife were ad-
dicted to drugs. The tragedy oc-
Cured when both were drunk with
morphia. They had been in a semi
stupor for several days. On the
evening of Nov. 20, 1907. Robt.
Hitchcock left the flat In e. 15Sth
street to buy more opiates. He
returned presently, carrying a bag
OF red apples.
He told his wife he had made up
his mind. They had made mess
of their lives. He told her to get
ready for a long journey. They
would go together-to death.
Dreamily she obeyed her husband
orders.
First they read a chapter of the
bible aloud. Then Hitchcock had
her write a note: 81 did this-the
blame is NINE" and sign 1t. Then
she stood and smiled stupidity at
him while he aimed a pistol at
her and fired.
The first shot struck her in the
body and instantly drove the
clouds from her brain. She ran
screaming from the room, her hus-
band following, shooting her again
and again. She fell with four ter
rible wounds. The mailman then
laughed and fired wantonly
through the window, shattering the
glass and setting the curtain
ablaze.
That shot emptied the gun. He
reloaded, climbed upon the bed,
stood upright. shut his eyes and
sent two bullets into his heart be-
fore he fell.
Apathy returned to woman
a dullness caused by the drugs and
by her fast ebbing vitality. Her
last act of consciousness was to
stagger to the bed and lie down
upon the revolver.
So they found her-her signed
confession on the table; the gun
under her bleeding body. Ten days
later she opened her eyes in hos
pital. When questioned she gave

scenes. The actors union. affil-
lated with the A. F. of L., has
started a fight against the White
Rats. the well-known social or
ganization. The actors union had
strike on in Chicago and won,
but some of the Rats refused to
keep out of unfair houses. The
union subsequently offered to en-
ter an offensive and defensive al
liance, but the Rats wanted every
thing their own way, the breach
was widened and now the fight is
on, and 1t will not be an opera
bouffe affair, either.

disjoined answers. confessing to
|the crime.
| Her wounds healed. But the
shock of the bullets shattered her
abused nervous system. She was
a hopeless lunatic. She was sent to
Matteawan as an insane murderess.
Gradually, with temperate liv-
ing, her brain cleared. She be-
came sane in all points but ore.
Her mind was blank regarding
tho tragedy.
Her friends, however. believed
in her innocence. While she was
still insane, lawyer was engaged
and she was examined by DR.. Ira
Van Gieson, an eminent alienist.
In hypnotic state she told a clear
story of the events of the shoot
ing. She was not told of this t7st.
Later the alienists filled her at
tention with a picture of the
tragedy, by suggestion, then pro-
duced a bag of red apples and had
her smell them.
81 suddenly thought of the ap-
pies my husband brought home"
said Mrs. Hitchcock to a reporter.
81 remembered they were red, and
1 was able to reconstruct again the
mental picture of the shooting"
The picture thus brought back
was the Same she had described
while hypnotized. 1t has been YER
Iified in every detail.
Her attorneys are trying to have
her discharged from Matteawan,
indicted and tried for murder, con-
fident that any jury will acquit
her.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 15.
The United States government
faces an International problem. If
it yields Porter Charlton, who con-
fessed to numbering his wife at
Lake Como, Italy. to the Italian
government for punishment, it
will countenance un-American tor
ture of an American by solitary
confinement. If It is willing to
give up Charlton only on condi-
tion that Italy return the courtesy
by promising to yield to the
United States Italians who flee to
Italy after committing crimes in
this country, 1t insists on condi-
ton which Italy cannot grant. II
it allows Charlton to go free, and
then makes no provision for such
criminals In the future, Il will

Italy will not agree, in return, to
give up Italians who commit
crimes in this country and flee to
refuge in Italy.
But it is impossible for Italy to
surrender such criminals to. us.
Her constitution and laws forbid
her to give up any one of her citi-
zens to a foreign power. But she
is more than willing to punish
them herself by the mental tor
