WASHINGTON REVIEW
Braddock Rock to be Protected From
vandals-Reports From Con-
suls in other
Countries.

WAo1lNGION, Oct. 7-CellS IN
murderers' row in the District of Co
lumbia Jail are occupied by IL per-
sons convicted for or charged with
taking human life. 1t is a record for
Washington. The collection, however,
is only one greater than was the case
half dozen years ago, when 16 MUIR
derers were at the same time lodged
and fed under the roof of the prison.
Two OF the present occupants Of the
row have been condemned to death.
1t means the gallows, congress not
having adopted electrocution for the
enforcement of the death penalty. One
Of the two marked for capital punish
ment is Matte Lomax, negro wom-
an. The other is Arthur johnson,
also negro, convicted for a brutal
and wholly unprovoked murder of a
blacksmith. Antonio Sacrini, sent
enced to Imprisonment for life, is
held at the Jail awaiting the outcome
of an appeal.
Other women tenants in the row
awaiting action by the grand jury are
Bessie Pendleton, Rachael Epps and
Belle Mills.
An odd case is that Of Colbert Jack
SON, who received a sentence Of nine
ty days for assault His victim was
discharged from the hospital, but be-
came worse, returned there and died.
The charge against jackson is now
one of murder.
Still more unusual Is the case of
Charles Fletcher, negro, who was
partially tried on the charge of muir
der in the first degree. During his
trial his actions were so suspicious
that a lunacy commission Investigate
I'd his case, reported him of IN
found mind, and he was removed to
the government hospital for the in
FAME, where he remained three years
Last spring a plot was discovered to
siberate the patients confined in How
rrd hall, and Fletcher was said to be
the ringleader of the conspiracy. He
was re-examined and pronounced
sane. Now he Is In Jail awaiting a
reopening of the case.
In addition to dissolving trusts
and performing other stern acts. At
torney General Wickersham has activ
tiles inspired by sentiment. Through
his initiative the Braddock rock, on
OF the historic landmarks of Washing
ton, will be preserved from vandals
The rock is on the bank of the Pc

The rock gets its name from tn
fact that it marks the landing plac

Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburg, ard
were defeated by the Indians and the
French George Washington was a
member of Braddock's staff.
In later years it was the base mark
for important surveys in the laying
out of Washington. Even now, the
attorney general says, it is an import
ant point in connection with certain
investigations which may read to lisi-
cation to determine the right of the
United States to lands bordering on
the Potomac.
Wickersham gave the navy depart
ment q history of the rock in great
detail and as the result of the inter-
est he aroused steps will be taken to
ensure the lasting preservation of the
rock by building solid iron fence
around its resting place.
There are In Germany 3S5 combin-
atoms of manufacturers and mercan-
tile houses that are given benign
treatment both by law and public
sentiment, according to an interest
ing report made by Consul General
Skinner, at Hamburg.
There is no German law says
Skinner, which either expressly
authorizes or forbids the creation OF
the so-called trusts so numerous in
this country. The law merely guar
antees to the individual the right to
engage in trade, but does not with
hold from him the right to combine
with any or all of his competitors.
The theory seems to be that the
general interests of the public al
large are protected by the resulting
prosperity of such interests, even
though the immediate effect may be
to enhance the cost of the eommod
| ity controlled.
I'm a recent discussion of the sub
| ject, Albert Balm, the general direc
tor of the Hamburg American Line
said:
4 in Germany syndicates are pro
tected by several laws, and therefore
it may arise very easily that thu
American government wou1o requir,
the dissolution of syndicate Will,
the dissolution, according to German
law, itself would become punishable

men and economists are not opposed
to such syndicates and the creation
of monopolies, in which the state it
