WILL ACCEPT THE
UTAH SERVICE
Navy Department Will Disre-
gard Protests of Various
Religious Bodies

Washington, March 16-The navy
department is preserving what it re-
CARDS as a consistent attitude in de-
clining to accede to the demand of
the various religious organizations
that it refuse to allow the battleship
Utah to accept the cilver service do
mated by the state of Utah on the
ground that one Of the principal
pieces bears portrait of Brigham
Young and picture Of the Norman
tabernacle in Salt Lake City.
A similar question arose when the
state Of Mississippi bestowed a sill
yer service bearing the portrait Of
Jefferson Davis upon the battleship
named after that state. The depart
ment then held that it had no authori-
ty to control the action of q sover-
eign state in such q matter and Sec
retary Meyer has made the same re-
ply to the protestants in the case of
the Utah silver service.

DEATH PENALTY
Effort to Connect Culprit With
Houndsditch Anarchist Gang.

London, March 16.-Stinie Morri-
son today was found guilty of the
murder of Joseph Beron and sentenc-
ed to death. The police tried to con-
meet the tragedy with the Hounds
ditch anarchist burglar gang and the
trial was one of the most sensational
and longest drawn out that has been
held in London.
The mutilated body Of Beron was
found on Clapham common early in
January. The police theory was that
the victim was member of the
Houndsditch crowd and had been
killed for treachery by his associates.
The trial occupied nine days. The
evidence was wholly circumstantial.
Morrison, who is q Russian, claimed
that he spent the evening of the mur-
der at music hall and the rest Of
the night at his home. Most of the
witnesses were from the Whitechapel
district. and star 4 assertions were
made on both side> oz. sensation was

Vlterbo, Italy, March 16.-The rules
OF criminal procedure in Italy make
possible frequent dramatic incidents
and 1t was due to this that today's
session of the trial of Camorrasts for
murder held the lively interest Of the
crowd that occupied every available
square foot in the old church of San
Francisco.
When the court opened, the clerk
resumed the reading Of the long in
dictment OF the thirty-six prisoners,
ana this took up the whole forenoon,
the monotony Of the recital, however,
being broken by Interruptions from
the prisoners cage or by others in
the room whose interests were in the
same manner involved. When the
clerk read the passage referring to
the priest, Giro Vitozzi, the aged pris-
oner was visibly affected. and at the
words although never condemned,
Vitozzi is a criminal" he raised his
hand to heaven and murmured, 81

During the description of the mur-
der OF Gennaro Guoccolo and his wife
Maria, the beautiful Sorrentina,"
Mariana de Guoccolo, who is CHARGED
with having been one of the actual
assassins. rose from his place in the
steel pen greatly agitated. The read

the prisoner kept placing his hand
over his heart and addressing his

said, II swear to you am innocent"

La Toilette TO

Will Arraign the President
For Mobilizing Troops in
Texas

Washington, March 15.-The cause
OF the Mexican insurrection is to be
taken up by leaders Of the Republi-
can insurgents In the United States
senate as soon as possible after the
opening OF the extra session Of con-
gress. Senator La Toilette will be the
commander-in-chief of the revolutions
ary forces in the north end Of the
capitol. He has let his attitude be
known to several of his colleagues,
and, 1t was reported yesterday, he ex-
poets to receive support from several
Of the more radical anti-administra-
tion Republicans as soon as he gives
the signal for the forces to advance.
1t is known that two or three sena-
tors. usually catalogued as einsur-
gents, are not in sympathy with the
projected movement. While they will
not be expected to support the attack
on the administration, which will be
based on criticism Of the recent order
for the mobilization of American
troops on the Rio Grande, it seems to
be the general belief that they will
not take an active part in the move
ment to suppress the insurrection.
Senator Borah of Idaho is regarded
as one Of the senate insurgents who
does not view the Mexican situation
as a suitable point of vantage for
a hostile advance on the white house.
Plan Of Campaign.
According to the present plans Of
the ultra insurgents OF the senate, the
existing military situation is sufficient
for their purposes. 1t will not be
necessary for the American troops to
be ordered across the Rio Grande be-
fore the flag of revolution 10 unfurled
in the senate. The anti-administra-
tion Republicans who are In favor Of
using the mobilization order as a
strategic position from which to make
their attack. have very definite plan
of campaign outlined.
Wars, both real and mimic. they
argue, cost money. The moving of q
body Of 10000 troops necessarily will
mean a demand from the war depart
ment for funds to defray the expenses
of the expedition. This request will
be incorporated In an urgent de-
ficiency bill, according to general an
ticipations. 1t is not regarded as
probable that the war department has
enough money from the current ap-
preparation to conduct a military OPP

Success Net Likely.
1t is generally conceded that there
is very little Likelihood of success in
the proposed antiawhite house move
ment. Although neither senators nor
representatives who now happen to
be IN Washington are willing to at
tach their names 10 any statements
concerning the advisability of the
mobilization Of troops, it was conced-
ed by several members of both houses
that the money to pay for the present
maneuvers would be appropriated by
non-partisan vote. But to this
cautiously expressed opinion there
was substantial string attached. 1t
was pointed out that II conditions on
the other side Of the frontier resulted
IN an effort on the. part of the admin
istration to throw The mobilized army
across the Rio Grande. the public
might expect some very luminous
pyrotechnics at. both ends of the cap
itol.
Senator La Toilette and other SEN
ate insurgents who are listed as
strong anti-adminiltration men, are
expected to take the position that the
present Mexican government is auto
cratic, and that the insurgents are
hghting for the liberties Of the people.
They will attack the mobilization plan
as designed to prevent political
refugees from another. country from
