-FOUR GANGSTERS
ARE CONVICTED
One Ballot Shows All Jurors
For Murder in First Degree

Only a single ballot that was taken
by the jury in the trial in New York
city of the four gunner for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal immedi-
ately upon retiring to consider the
verdict was necessary for the jury to
bring in a verdict of murder in the
first degree against all four de-
PENDANTS, "Dago Frank" whitley"
Lewis, Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the
Blood"
The four informers, Rose, Weber,
Vallon and Schepps were later freed
from the Westside prison. In the
opinion of the district attorney the
verdict made it binding upon the
state to live up to its promise to
liberate the four informers, with whom
the state had made the stipulation
that they would receive immunity pro-
vided it was proved that none of them
had fred a shot and that they had
rendered services to the state by tell
ing the truth about the murder
The verdict satisfied the state that
a jury is convinced that the four in
formers did not fire a shot and that
they told the truth. Furthermore, the
verdict is accepted also as final proof
that Schepps was not an accomplice.

MUSICAL DISH PANS.

For a long time" said the man

hoping that some one would arise and
invent dish pans in f flat and kettles
in G major. The family above me az
parently always washes its dinner
dishes the morning after.
yet ! do not know that the bang
of dish pan is as bad as the Mo2ar-
tian melodies dispensed by the occa-
sional hand organ. have about come
to the conclusion, however that two
generations hence mankind will be
able to relish any metallic noise as
music There is Richard Strauss
you know, and Claude Debussy We
have got wonderfully used to sheer
cacophony and some of us maintain
with what truth | do not know, that
we like It.
IF | thought that in twenty or
thirty years we would be able to en-
Joy the dish pan and kettle motifs |
would never again complain. But |
think that since we are making such
strides in the direction of enjoying
harsh sounds the inventors might
meet us half way by inventing sets
of houseware keyed to a diatonic
scale"

Turkey Seeks Italy's Helm.

The sultan of Turkey has made an
appeal for the good offices of the king
of Italy to bring about more con.
ciliatory attitude on the part of the
king of Montenegro and the king of
Servia.
simultaneously, the king of Servia,
taking advantage of Queen Helenas
relationship to his family, urges her
to do all in her power to disarm
Austrian hostility, so that Servia may
secure the outlet to the Adriatic which
she so much desires.
In his communication to King Victor
Emmanuel the sultan recalls the
peace concluded recently between Tur-
key and Italy and the desire of both
countries to live in amity and improve
their reciprocal relations and re-
quests earnestly the king to use his
influence with his fatherin-law, King
Nicholas Of Montenegro, and also with
the king Of Servia, with the object OF
inducing them to offer terms possible
of acceptance by Turkey, so that her
dignity might be saved.

Though there has been renewed
fighting at the Tchatladja lines near
Constantinople it is believed that with
in very short time Bulgaria will
come to Turkey with terms less harsh
than those that the Ottoman rejected.
From Sofia come dispatches telling
that DR.. S. Daneoff. president of the
Bulgarian parliament; General Savoff,
victorious commander in chief, and
General Fitcheff, chief of staff of the
army, have been appointed plenipoten-
tiaries for the Bulgars to negotiate an
armistice.
The appointing of these plenipoten-
tiaries confirms the current belief that
there is still hope of the speedy ar
rangement of an armistice.
In the meantime the fighting is con
fined to an artillery duel, the thunders
OF which can be heard in CONSTANT
nople. The Bulgars will soon be rein
forced by the arrival of 10000 Greeks,
who will take their place in front OF
the Tchatladja lines.

PENSIONS FOR
EX-PRESIDENTS
Carnegie Provides Endowment
Fund Of $4,000 a Year
TAFT TO Be BENEFICIARY NO. |
Phllanthropist's Scheme Meant Only
to Bridge over Interval Until Gov
ernmsnt Provides For Pensions

A pension of $4,000 for each future
ex-president of the United States is
the latest form which the beneficence
of Andrew Carnegie is to take.
This announcement Of Mr.. Car
negie's intentions was made by the
eight trustees Of the Carnegie Cor.
poration of New York at the close of
their second annual meeting. The an.
nouncement reads
Provision has been made through
this corporation for a pension for each
future ex-president and his widow, un.
married, of 5000 per year as long as
these remain unprovided for by the
nation, that they may be able to spend
the latter part Of their lives devoting
their unique knowledge gained Of pub
lie affairs to the public good free from
pecuniary cares.
"These pensions will be promptly
offered to the ex-presidents or their
widows so that no application will be
required from them"
Mr.. Carnegie declined through his
secretary to have anything further to
say just at present about the fund for
ex-presidents. One of the trustees,
however, explained that it was his in
tention that President Taft upon his
retirement next March should be the
first to profit by its provisions.
Otherwise, Mrs. Mary Scott Harri-
son, widow of former President Benja-
min Harrison, and ex-President Theo-
dore Roosevelt would have become the
only other beneficiaries under the
terms of the endowment, for Mrs.
Cleveland by her approaching mar
riage to T. ]. Preston of Wells college
would have put herself beyond its
scope.
1t is believed that the trustees an
ticipate the time when the national
government will make some provision
for those who have once served as
chief executive and their present
action is intended to bridge over the
interval.

Taft NAV Refuse Pension.

While President Taft has not COM
hented publicly on the Carnegie plan
to give all future ex-presidents of the
United States or their widows a pen
sion of $685. a year, the impression
is strong among Mr.. Taft's friends that
he will not accept the bounty.
It Is certain, however, that the presi-
dent in any action that he may take
will show a thorough appreciation OF
the motive behind the Carnegie gen.
erosity. He may commend Mr. Car
negie's proposition, but in declining
the gift himself suggest that his
action should not be taken as estab-
fishing any precedent.
AS was indicated by the few eX-
pressions from senators and repre-
sentatives the Carnegie foundation
plan met with almost general disap-
proval. It was very plain, however,
that the plan is likely to have whole
some effect in squirting congress on 10
duty which it has shirked for many
wears

Wild Deer Near PhlIadeIphla.

Killing Cougars Saves Deer.

1t is estimated that every cougar
in the State causes the death of at
least fifty deer during the year. Some
expert hunters maintain that a big
cougar or mountain lion will destroy
as many as 100 deer in a single year.
The estimate that the lives of 500
deer have been saved through the
killing of nine of these wild beasts is
regarded as conservative. The trip of
