Lupo Gets Thirty Years For
Making Counterfeit Money
SENTENCE OF SEVEN OTHERS
Aggregate Punishment Is Hundred and
Fifty Years In Prison and Fines of
$76Oo-Judge Says italian Criminal
ity Must Be Stamped Out-Nerve of
Convicted Men Gives Way as They
Hear Sentences Pronounced

New York, Feb. 21.-Lupo (The
Wolf, reputed chief of the Black
Hand in America; Giuseppe Morello,
chief of Sicilian counterfeiters in this
country, and six of their confeder-
ates were found guilty of making
spurious money, and were sentenced
to terms of hard labor in the federal
prison at Atlanta, varying from tif-
teen years and $1,000 fine to thirty
years and $1,000. The accumulated
sentences and fines aggregate 100
years and $1,000. The sentences are
as follows:
Ignazio Lupo, thirty years and
$1,000 fine; Giuseppe Morello, twenty
five years and $1,000; Giuseppe Paler-
mo, eighteen years and $1,000; Clio
vanni Calicchio, seventeen years and
$500; Vincenzo Giglio, fifteen years
and $1,000 f; Salvatore Gina, fifteen
years and $1,000; Nicolo Sylvestro,
fifteen years and $1,000; Antonio Ce-
Gala, fifteen years and $1,000.
Lupo, who is under sentence of
thirty years for murder in Italy, where
he was tried while a fugitive from
justice, wept copiously during his
counsels plea for mercy, and had to
be supported when led from the room
after sentence.
Calicchio collapsed in the arms of
two marshals, sobbing: mot just,
not just" Morello tainted and went
into commissions. All the others
sobbed bitterly.
AS Palermo was being sentenced
there was a loud report from a flash
light, and for a moment court and
prisoners alike were visibly startled.
The Judge, in pronouncing sem
tence, was careful to explain that he
cherished no hatred to Italians; but,
on the contrary, from his dealings
with them he had been led to trust
them as quickly as he would his own
family. Nevertheless, he said, the
evils of Italian criminality in this
country must be stamped out.
Sentence was pronounced on only
two of the six counts charged in the
indictment and suspended in the 9TH
ers. Lupo, Morello and the others
convicted are eight of the gang OF
seventeen, nine Of whom were arrest
ed last November and are now await
ing trial.
1t is charged that they fioated near
ly $500. 900 worth of counterfeit bills,
which they peddled at 25 cents on the
dollar.
To Lupo, the police credit two MUIR
ders in this country, one of which |

placed on trial separately. 1t has

An Insult to the People Of Maine.

The report that the Waterville Sentinel
has been subsidized by the Republicans
to start a back-fire on the Democratic
party while at the same time pretending
to champion the Democratic cause. Is in
correct So far as we have been able to
run the report down it originated with
Democrat who had stopped his paper.
because, as he said. the editorial columns
of the Sentinel had become both so alb
surd and so irresponsible in its charges
that the effect of its utterances was to
react In favor of the Republicans.
While we cannot vouch for the ac-
curacy Of this story 1t is fact that the
Sentinel has reached the desperation
the following statement concerning the
two insane hospitals in Maine clipped
from the Sentinel Aug. "a:
Somehow in 1882 the insane of the
State were supported. 1t may be that
there were not so many $4,000 rebuilt
greenhouses then as now in Connection
with the care and support of the insane,
1T may be that not so many people were
crazy In that Democratic year as now.
but the governor claims that all the
s$539.5 $50 devoted obtensibly to the care of
the insane, is expended wisely. Much of
it could be saved and the insane receive
exactly as good care as now. The unfor-
tunate beings confined in our insane hos
pftais, for all the claim the governor
makes as to charity and mercy behind
the cost to support them. are entitled To

know anything about their treatment

outrageous than this reference to the two

That Dream Of Republican Votes.

Just now Democratic editors are anus
ing themselves Intensely with fictitious
Republicans whom it is alleged are GO
ing to vote the Democratic ticket. At
first they made n pretense of giving
names, but in most instances where ac-
tual names were given the party re-
ferred to had usually been voting the
Democratic ticket for years, so 1t has
been deemed wiser to omit their names.
This is safer and it has led to rivalry
among Democratic papers in this easy If
not entirely reliable way of making
votes. At last accounts the Waterville
Sentinel was the prize winner. The edi-
tor of that paper ScOrnS to deal with in
dividual cases. but has them now coming
by the carload and a special car at that.
This trainload of young men, who, we
are told are the sons of Republicans. in
tend to make the trip all the way from
Boston to Maine to vote for Plaisted.
There is nothing like doing things on
big scale. 1t is just as easy to imagine
trainload of young Republicans voting
the Democratic ticket as to imagine one,
and it sounds lot more impressive even
If it does not yield any noticeable returns
on election day. If any other Democratic
editor approaches this stunt of the Sen
tinel the people will undoubtedly next be
informed that lot of aeroplanes have
been specially chartered to rush these
alleged Republicans who intend to vote
for Plaisted back into the State. In the
meantime real Republicans are not in the
least disturbed by these flights of imagi-
nation 1t is harmless amusement, if
trife over-done.

great institutions maintained in this
State for the care of the most unfortu-
nate of all our people. Not a single
specific charge; not single instance Of
abuse but sweeping intimation that the
inmates Of both these institutions are
mistreated. This is an insult to the peo-
pie of the entire State whether they be
Republicans, or Democrats. The follow
ing IS list of the trustees of the insane
hospitals:
Frederick Robbie. president, Gorham.
Charles +. Field, secretary, Bangor
A. r. Nickerson, Boothbay Harbor
George f.. Macomber, Augusta
Thomas White, Bangor.

Mrs. Frederick Cony. Randolph
Most Of these, trustees are personally
known to many of the people of this
State. President Robbie has been gov
ernor of the State. Mr. White is a life
long Democrat. Yet the Waterville Sen
tinel in its support of the Democratic
candidate for governor insinuates that
the poor unfortunates under the care of
this board of trustees are subjected to
mistreatment In one line this editor de-
rides the board of trustees for an ex-
penditufe of money for greenhouses to
brighten the fieeting moments of sanity
among these wards of the State, and In
the next charges the same board with
countenancing abuses Could ANYTHING
be more dispicahle? Could the fortunes

THE Fourth district is all right for
the Republicans. Conservative men,
those who are well acquainted with
the people and the conditions, predict
that the Republican county ticket will
be elected and that Bangor will send
Republicans to the Legislature. In
1908 this county gave something like
800 majority for the Democratic county
ticket, and Gardner had over 1900 over
Fernald. This county was one of the
Gardner strongholds, and the Changers
there were very indignant over the
manner in which Gardner was turned
down at the State conventions PlaiS-
ted is not only not as strong as Gard
.ner was in the country towns, but he
has no more strength in Bangor. In
that city the Republicans have

that it will be true to the Republican

you to hunt any place in the state
until July 1st, 1911. The license ap-
plies to every one desiring to hunt
without regard to age.
You are not permitted to go upon

w. III. Brownback Died Suddenly

w. H. Brownback was found dead
In his bed on his ranch at Aetna
on Sunday morning. County Attor-
ney Field was called by phone and
he went to Kiowa and got Justice
Buchanan to act as coroner, in the
absence of Coroner Coleman, and
with Drs. Fulton and Waite of Kio-
wa and two doctors of Hardtner,
went to the Brownback ranch and
held an inquest over the body. The
decision of the jury was that Mr..
Brownback came to his death from
an attack of apoplexy. AS soon as
DR.. Fulton heard of his death he
was satisfied that it was caused
from apoplexy because he had treat
ed him for the trouble several times
and when the skull was opened ,clot-
ted blood was found on the brain
thus entirely confirming this belief
The body was embalmed by I'm
dertaker Laughman and shipped tt
Edinburgh, Illinois, the deceased
home, for burial.
Mr.. Brownback was a wealth!
man. He owned very larg'
ranch in southwestern Barber an,
southeastern Comanche counties, a
we'll as vast properties in Illinois. H
spent much of his time on his rancl

Anybody in his home town of Isabel
what his standing as business man
is and we are sure you will at once

to make an excellent commissioner.
Mr.. Boots has a keen conception of
sound administrative ideas. He has
been connected with affairs of more
or less quasi public in nature dur
ing most of his life and would not
be at all new in the business as a
county commissioner. AS a man and
citizen he measures up to the best
of them. His election would be a
fine compliment to the good judg-
