The Vatican has been compelled to
change the cipher or code in which
the Popes secret instructions are
telegraphed TO Nuneios and delegates
abroad. 1t consisted of "A series of
numbers disposed according to a pre-
arranged system, assuring perfect Sc
crecy. Repeated efforts to save it
proved unsuccessful and 1t was COLI
sidered the best in the world Even
when the French government seized
the archives of the Papal Nunciature
in Paris the secret was not divulged.
Mgr Montasnini succeeded in hiding
the key. Marquis Crispolti, however,
has published Il book dealing with
the Natican's negotiations with Ber-
lin in 1878 and reproducing the orig
inal cipher kilograms and their trans
lation. Deeply grieved that the secret
documents have been published and
realizing the futility of legal proceed
ings, the Pope has decided to change
the system for the first time in 200
years.

THE SINGLE TERM IDEA.
Taft's Declaration at New York
BANQUET Encourages Promoters.

Washington, November 17:-Pres-
ident Taft's declaration in favor of
constitutional amendment to limit
the Presidents tenure of office to
single term of six years, with in
eligibility to either a succeeding or
non-consecutive term, and President
elect Wilson's Endorsement of the
Democratic platform favoring such
limitation are believed here to
foreshadow strong pressure for leg
islation along this line early in the
coming Congress.
Numerous measures have been
introduced in both houses of Con-
gress looking to a change in the
presidential tenure. The Senate
Judiciary committee wrestled with
the problem in the last session, and
Senator Cummins, who reported the
Works amendment out of commit
tee. purposes to press the measure
when Congress convenes. A similar
amendment is hanging fire in the
House Judiciary committee.

The supreme court of the United
States delivered a death blow at vio-
lations of the Sherman antitrust law
under the cloak of protection of the
patent laws, by annulling as invalid
license agreements" which held
manufacturers of sanitary enameled
iron ware together in the comblna-
ton known as the "bathtub trust. "
The decision marked an epoch in an
thrust decisions because it sustained
the governments contention that
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law could not be concealed behind
the patent laws of the country. The
decision of the lower court was up
held throughout as to the man de-
PENDANTS and the Colwell Lead COM
pany, which claimed it was not en-
gagged in interstate commerce.

FOUND GUILTY IN
TWENTY MINUTES,
FOUR GUNMEN, ALLEGED SLAY-
ERS OF GAMBLER ROSENTHAL,
HEAR THEIR DEATH SENTENCE.

New York, November l9:-"Gyp,
the Blood" Lefty Louie" "Dago
Frank" and Whitley" Lewis killed
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, at
the instigation of Charles Becker
and must pay the penalty of death
in the electric chair, the jury which
has been hearing the evidence against
the four "gunmen" so decided to-
day, when it returned verdict OF
murder in the first degree, after
but twenty minutes of deliberation-
The quick verdict came as sur
prise to everybody. The jury in the
case of Charles Becker deliberated
for nearly seven hours before reach
| ing a verdict. He is now in Sing Sing,
sentenced to the electric chair, for
having instigated the murder.
The "gunmen" heard the verdict
pronounced against them without
show of emotion. They stood at the
bar looking straight ahead as the
foreman of the jury made known
the result of their deliberations, and
they continued to stare stolidly IN
front of them until the formalities
of the proceedings were concluded
Remanded to their cells in the
Tombs until tomorrow morning,
when Justice Golf will fix the day
for imposing sentence, they turned
and filed out of the court room with
as firm a step as when they had en-
tered.
Whitley" Lewis-who was the
most dramatic of the four when ne
testified on the witness stand-alone
walked with head bowed.
AS they entered the door leading
over the Bridge of Signs" "Gyp"
said something to Lefty" in sui
len undertone, which none could
hear. Outside, "Lefty's" doll-faced
wife, "Lefty's Lillian" as she is
called, wept on the shoulder of her
husbands father. who vainly tried
to comfort her.
"Gyp's wife, known as "Gyp's
Lillian" received the news in the
House of Detention. The other two
gunner" are unmarried.
Former Magistrate Charles G F
| Wahle, counsel for the gunmen, an
nounced that he would appeal from
the verdict and, as in the case of
Becker, months may elapse before
their ultimate fate is determined.
Meanwhile they will occupy cells
near that of the former police lieu
tenant in the death house at Sing
Sing.
Although the jury was actually
out of the court room an hour and
five minutes, it was but twenty min
utes after their retirement that
word reached the Clerk of the court
that they had arrived at a verdict.
This was at 1885 O'Clock. but JUS
tice Goff was at lunch and did not
return until three-quarters OF an
hour later.
