DEATH SENTENCE IS
 PASSED ON GUNMEN
Week of Jan. 9th Set for Their Exhcu-
 tion by Justice Golf.

New York, Nov. 26.-"Gyp the Blood" 'Whitey Lewis Lefty Louie and "Dago Frank" the gunmen con- victed of the murder of Herman Rosenthal. were sentenced by Justice Golf today to die in the electric chair at Sing Sing during the week of Jan. 9th.
 Each of the prisoners was sentenced separately, and in each case Charles G. F. Wahle, their counsel moved that the verdict be set aside and the judg- ment be arrested. Each motion Justice Golf successively denied. One of the grounds for MT. Wahle's motion was that the jury had actually deliberated less than half an hour and that the verdict was the result of passion, prejudice and other influences
 None of the condemned men gave any visible outward sign of his feel ings. All looked stolidly ahead and each shook the hand of MT. Wahle as he was led away

London, Nov. 26.-The possibility and danger of a greater war than that between the Balkan states and Turkey absorbs public interest far more than the first bout of diplomacy between the belligerents outside of Constanti- nople.
 The steps towards mobilization which Austria and Russia are taking, although but preliminary precautions, have made possible a vision of the vast consequences, which, as far as Great Britain is concerned, are consid- cred nothing less than appalling.
 British Public Uneasy.
 The British public apparently has no desire to sacrifice lives and money, paralyze commerce and risk the navy over the settlement of the status of the Balkan peninsula. Yet it is uneasy, because ignorant of how far Great Britain's diplomatic engagements with France and Russia extend in the direc- tion of an alliance, and of how much ment will be drawn into conflict in which one or both of it's partners in the entente may be engaged.
 European Nations Drift Toward War
 The liberal press is unanimous in urging GT6dJ BTlIdln 10 preserve ncu- trality. The majority of the conserva- tives demand the same policy. The Times, declaring that none of the Flu ropean peoples wants war, says: ''Yet that is whither the nations are blindly drifting
 It asks: Who then makes war?' and replies: "The answer Is to be found in the chancellories of Europe among the men who too long have played with human lives as pawns in a game of chess. and who have become so enmeshed in formulas and the jar gon of diplomacy that they have ceased to be conscious of the poignant realities with which they tride"
 England Urged to Act.
 The Pail Mall Gazette almost alone speaks in a warlike voice. It de- clares:
 England ought to act firmly witt France and Russia in refusing simply to be swept aside. If the conference desired by the British government i. refused we ought to face the alterna. tive and stand by our friends"
 The mobilization of the Austrian ant Russian armies requires weeks fo, what Germany and France can accom-. plish in days. In Russia's case this i. on account of the great distances tn, troops must travel; in Austria's be. cause the units of the army are on peace footing, which is only one thir( of their war strength. Therefore con alterations of safety compel them t

Washington, Nov. 26, = President Taft has quietly informed friends that no matter how active his participation in reorganization of the republican party may be. he is not to be regarded as publicly referred to in political speeches by republicans as a possible candidate of the party in 1916.
 Not Seeking Denomination. The president has made it plain that he does not wish to be considered in any way having an eye on the first place on the republican ticket four years from now. He intends to do all in his power to help rejuvenate the party, and probably will make many political speeches before March and after he re-enters private life, but ac cording to close friends he is in the | fight to continue the party and to try l to return it to power as a man who | has been its standard bearer for four years and not as man seeking re- | nomination four years hence. These facts have been developed here during | the last few days in connection with | discussion of a proposed gathering of republican leaders during the winter 1 to formulate plans for bringing repub- lican factions together.
 Meeting of Republican Leaders. Within the last week nearly doz- en republican national committeeman have called at the White House for | brief conferences either with the president or with his secretary, Charles D. Hilles, who. was chairman of the | republican national committee during I the campaign.
 A meeting of republican leaders to be held at New York or Washington -some time early in January is now be- | ing considered, but plans are as yet | indefinite. President Taft and MT. Hilles are being urged to take part in l the movement to establish active mil litant' headquarters for the party, to l open at once, and to lead a general party reorganization movement during l the next four years.
 May Be Leader of Movement.
 It is said that President Taft may l actually become the leader of the movement to strengthen party ties;
 but, if so, it will be with the under standing that he does not undertake it with any prearranged plan that he is to be the candidate for president
 four years hence. The republican
 committeeman who have been in
 Washington recently have offered va
 rious suggestions for the reopening of party activity, The majority of them favor a general publicity and educa- tional campaign to strengthen public
 support of republican principles and to place the party in position to take l advantage of any mistakes" the dem-
 ocratic administration may make.
 Republican Dinner in January. 1 The president is expected to speak
 at a republican dinner in New York
 some time in January, but it is sai6
 here that there has been an under
 standing that no speaker at that din
 ner, whenever it is held, shall refer tc
 the president as the prospective repub-
 lican standard bearer of 1916. His
 endorsement of the dinner idea is sait
 to have been contingent upon such ar
 understanding.

SPEECHES IN HIS
OWN BEHALF
USELESS
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, ID. c., July 13.--By IA
vote of % to 81 the senate today uu-
seated Senator w. J. D"rimer of Illi-
nois today. and held his election in
valid. The end of the long fight to
oust the senator came after six days
protracted debate. in which Lorimer
himself had occupied the floor for
three sessions making an impassioE-
ed defense of his election.
The final vote was on a resolu-
ton offered by Senator Luke Lea of
Tennessee, declaring the Lorimer
election by the Illinois legislature in
1903 invalid, The adoption of the
Lea resolution carried with it the
senate's verdict that corrupt meth
DDS and practices were employed in
the election of Lorimer.
The closing moments of trial were
intensely dramatic. Lorimer, in max
ing his last defense of his election,
declared that he did not appeal for
the vote of a single senator, but ask
ed for justice. Lorimer, when the
vote was announced, walked slowly
towards the back of the chamber and
passed into a cloak room, Senator
Smoot of Utah throwing an arm over
MS SuOuIutI.
The vote ousting MIN was conclud-
ed at 2:O5 o'clock A man who had
occupied a seat in the Senate since
June is, 1903, by. the votes of his
colleagues today passes out of the
records and never officially has held
a seat in the Senate.
Explaining why he had not resign
ed when ne knew majority was
against him Lorimer said in his
speech: "If the men who founded
this country had run when defeat
stared them in the face we would
have had no country, and no flag.
And he who is so cowardly as to run
because defeat stares him in the
face has no place in this body. Oh,
senator's though you all vote to turn
me out, though every vote has been
found against me, yet will | not re-
sign. No. No, No, I'll not resign,
If | go from this body it will be be-
cause more senators vote for that
resolution than against It. My exit
will not be for fear. 1t will not be
because | am a coward 1t will be be-
cause of the crime of the Senate of
these United States

cally and he took his seat.
