USE OF AERoPLANEs IN WAR.
Nothing impossible in the Purpose
To Make Them Dangerous.

Nothing impossible in the Purpose
To Make Them Dangerous.
Hiram Maxim has always regarded
highly the possibilities of dropping
explosives from aeroplanes upon the
decks of battle ships, the New YORK
Times says. The achievement OF
Glenn H Curtiss in hitting a simu-
lated battle ship with a weight drop
ped from a height of 900 feet during
his experiments at Hammondsport for
our neighbor, the World, may well
excite the interest of naval and MIL
itary experts and of the friends of
peace. Possibly such experiments
will lead ultimately to the fulfill
ment of Tennyson's prophecy:
For | dipt into the future, far as hui
man eye could see,
Heard the heavens fill with shouting
and there rain'd a CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies crap
ping in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper of
the south wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the people
plunging thro' the thunder
storm;
Till the war drum throbb'd no longer,
and the battle flags were furl'd
In the parliament of man, the feder-
alton of the world
A fleet of thousand dynamite
dropping airships may be built at
less cost than one battle ship. What
chance would dreadnought have,
though searchlights swept the
skies and the air screamed with
strapnel, against a multitude OF
winged opponents let loose above it's
decks at night? Suppose it brought
three-fourths of them down. Would
not one of the remainder perform It's
destructive mission?
A sharpshooter could easily pick
off Mr. Curtiss before his machine
could swoop over a real battle ship,
besides disabling his engine and
steering gear. No formidable bomb
can be made to detonate by contact
No aeroplane can be poised in the
air, and its speed at high attitudes,
out of range of accurate gunHre,
would preclude its dropping one or
two bombs with certainty. Battle
ships may scorn the attacks of aero
planes, as they are at present con-
structed and Unanswered. But almost
every important invention has shown
consistent development. There is no
thing scientifically impossible about
the ultimate perfection of this soar.

oriain of the Black Hand.

World Wide Magazine According
to the United States secret service
the BLACK Hand" is a title common
to innumerable groups of criminals,
operating under the direction of some
secret central government. These men
are blackmailers, using murder, arson,
kidnapping and bomb throwing as pun
ishments for those who will not SUBJ
nit to their Ubiquitous demands
BLACK Hand is, in short, a handy
name for a brand of crime peculiar
to Italian criminals, who are success
full in it because Of the temperament
of the foreign immigrants and their
Unborn dread of the extortionist.
Whether the central government
which guides the BLACK Hand So
ciety'' is located in the United States
or in Italy is something which neither
the Italian nor the American BLACK
Hand emanated from Chicago about
ten years ago, when one of the first
of many mysterious murders in the
Italian quarter remained unsolved.
The victim Of the murder had re-
ceived warning that death would
follow his failure to contribute a spe-
Gifted sum of money.
The letter was embellished with a
crude drawing, representing a fist
clutching dagger. The fist and dag
ger gave the name "Black Hand
later to become unpleasantly familiar
to every citizen of the country-and
the sinister sketch was soon a source
of terror to all law-abiding Italians.

Utah Has Remarkable Law
State Where Condemned Man May Chose Method Of
Death Penalty

Boston Globe.-Utah is the only
state in the Union where a man NAV
be shot instead of hanged for the
crime of murder under civil law.
An adherence to the old scripturaI
idea of blood atonement on the mart
of the MOrmons in Utah has given
this state unique law by which a
man condemned to die for taking the
life Of another may choose between
being shot or being hanged.
The provision of the Utah statutes
regarding election as to a criminals
manner of death is as follows:
The provision of the Utah statutes
Iwseasrding election as to a criminals
her of death is as follows::
SThe punishment of death must be
inflicted by hanging the defendant by
the neck until he is dead or by shoot
ing him, at his election. If the de-
PENDANT neglect or refuse to make the
election the Court at the time of rem
dering the sentence must declare the
mode and meter the same as a part OF
this Judgment"
Eleven legal executions have taken
place in Utah since it was admitted
as a territory in 1850 All of these
have been by shooting except one,
since the condemned men on being
given their choice naturally prefer
shooting.
One of the most notable executions
in this state was that of Peter Nor
Jensen, who was shot November 20,
1903. for the murder of John Hay.
The murder was a brutal one for the
sake of robbery and the body of the
victim was concealed in neglected
pasture. The death penalty was in
ficted on Mortensen in the yard of
the State Prison of Utah, in Salt
Lake City.
A description of an execution by
an eyewitness will give a good idea
of the method of carrying out the
death sentence in Utah:
The death chair was placed against
the east wall of the prison Enclosure,
facing a driveway. 1t was a common
office chair with arms 1t was set
upon a platform about four feet

massacre, seated on his coffin. The
doomed man was taken from the
Beaver County Jail where he had
been closely guarded, placed in a
closed carriage and diven rapidly
to the place of execution, several
miles distant A company of soldiers
from FIT. Cameron, a local army post,
formed an escort for the officials who
had Lee in charge. Mob violence was
feared, SO intense was the resent
ment of the fiendish crime.
Seated on his coffin with his eyes
bound, five rifles were aimed at has
heart The aim was true, and as the
five shots rang out on the still air
Lee fell back in his coffin dead
In his dying speech he said that he
was not afraid to die. His only regret
was in leaving his wife and children.
He said that he believed that Brigham
Young was leading the people astray,
but thought that the doctrines of the
Mormon Church led to salvation.
His body was sent to one of his
numerous wives, Rachel of Panquitch.
His photograph was sent to each OF
his wives. He was about s. years OF
age at the time of his execution.
Only one hanging is recorded in the
entire history of Utah. Charles
Thiede, a German saloon keeper of
Murray, Utah, who murdered his wife,
was hanged for the crime on an Old
fashioned clumsy gallows from stran-
gulation.
