D[F|[S THE
CHURCH
Catholic Church to Lose Control In
Mexican Republic

MEXICO CITY, June 28.-The
first defiance of the Catholic church,
under the new regime appeared today
i'll the form Of a petition signed by
500 leading women Of this city pray
ing president De La Barra to form
ulate divorce law and present it to
Congress. Though Juarez and Dias
were both opposed to the Catholic
church neither were able to get a di-
vorce law passed over the opposition
OF the church, therefore divorces have
not been possible in Mexico. Legal
separations were obtainable, but
neither party was permitted to mary
again, The women petitioners ask
not only for absolute divorce for
adultery but also for incompatability
of temperament. Should such law
be passed the grip of the Church in
Mexico will be gone. President De
La Barra accepted the petition and
promised to take the matter up with
congress at an early date. The pro-
gressives undoubtedly will force the
bill through.

THE PLAY.

The little musical majy put ~, at

Matinee Girl Comedy company was a
treat to those who love bright spark

Ir the first place we want to say
that those who remained away from
the hall last night in the fear that
the performance would be something
Just Awful, in the sense of being moro
or less coarse and vulgar, missed some
thing nice. There was nothing said,
or done, that should offend in anyway
any modest person who came there
bringing pure mind and a capacity
for the appreciation of music and hu-

ic the old fashioned slapstick style Of
horseplay was rot indulged in at any
time. The female imper.onator had a
genuinely "female" swing in voice and
action and was not "unladylike" at
any time.
The electric swing feature was one
of the prettie5t effects We have ever
seen, four pretty girls swung from
the darkened stage, alternately by
twos, out over the heads of the audi
ence, in swings decorated with num-
Der Of colored lights and as they
swung they sang, in connection with
the chorus, an appropriate ditty. This
feature was surprise to many as il
was as good as one can see on tho
Denver or Chicago stage.
The soubrette is a surprise in that
she is really young, really pretty anc
really can sing and act, and her part
Of the performance was met with 2
constant round of applause. The 9th

FOR NEW
LIFE AND HER OWN DEATH

SAULT STE. MARIE, June 28.-IG
hei cell in the cid, gray stone Jail that
overlooks the city park, here at the
500, Angelina Napolitano, under SEN
tence to be hanged Aug. 9, is prepar-
ing both for life and death.
And because the life is the life of
her child, the babe that is to be born
month before its mothers death
sentence is executed on the gallows,
Angelina Napolitano, motherlike, has
turned from her own agony, and is
giving loving, motherly care to the
future of her baby. And while she
plans, as well as she may, the future
of this unborn baby, she makes no
complaint about her own terrible fate,
or about the cruel expiation she ex-
poets to make for the crime of lasl
Easter Sunday.
Although she was told that her baby
would be amply provided with clothes
by nuns at the General hospital, where
she is soon to be taken, the poor
mother begged permission to make
the baby clothes herself.
"Its all can do for my baby
she pleaded with Jail Matron Hearst
"please let me make its clothes" S,
the material was given to her--mus
lin, lace and embroidery, and loving
lly she stitches the soft, white littl'
robes that are to be worn by bab.

HANDS
OF JURY
Fate of Man Who Shot Won Phul and
Copeland Is Now With Jurors


DENVER, June 2S.-Frank Harold
Henwood, on trial on the charge of
murder in the first degree, may be
convicted under instructions of Judge
Whitford, of murder in the first de-
gree, or murder in the second de-
gree, or be acquitted.
The court has instructed the jurors
that there is no evidence tending to
show manslaughter. either voluntary
or Involuntary.
The defense excepted to the failure
to give manslaughter instructions and
will rely upon this exception as one
of their principal grounds for an ap-
peal, if a verdict of guilty of murder
in either degree should be returned.
The penalty for murder in the first
degree is either death or imprison-
ment for life and the jury must fix
the penalty. The penalty for murder
in the second degree is Imprisonment
for not less than ten years.
The instructions to the jury were
delivered this morning shortly after
the convening Of court. Prior to the
giving of the charge to the jury the
defense was permitted to reopen the
case for a few minutes, and Attorney
Bottom recalled lIenwood as a witness
for the purpose Of having him identify
n letter written by Won Phul TO Mrs.
Springer in May, from Kansas City,
in which Won Phul said; Don't have
anything to do with that double cross-
er No, you don't have to have him
out at the ranch or have anything
to do with him. Just show him where |
he gets off, or will" The court re-
fused to permit the introduction of |
the letter in evidence, Henwood's name
not being mentioned in it, and there is |
no evidence that the threat contained /
in it referred to Henwood.
In instruoting the jury after saying
there was no evidence tending to show
and notifying the jurors T
that they should not return man
slaughter verdict, Judge whitford /
that the jurors must deter
mine in order the following questions;
Is the defendant guilty Of murder
iu the first degree, is the defendant
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree, is the defendant not guilty.
The statutory definition of murder
in the first degree was given and,
upon that definition, the
court charged that if one person
shoots another with the intent only of
crippling him, having no justification
for shooting and death results from
tho shooting, such killing is murder
in the first degree regardless Of the
assailant's desire not to kill. The
court also charged if Henwood shot at
Won Phul under such conditions and
circumstances that the killing of Won
Phul was murder in the first degree,
the killing Of Copeland, under the
same conditions and circumstances,
although there was no intent to wound
or kill him, was also murder in the
first degree.
The courts definition of murder in
the second degree was unsatisfactory
tn the defense which excepted to the
definition given. The definition de-
=.
then says that all other murder shall
be murder in the second degree. The
defense say that the instructions
should have elaborated more than they
did on the statutory definition of muir
der in the second degree and that they
did not make clear to the jurors the
distinction between the two degrees
Of murder.
