electric chair within ten days for compile
ity in the notorious Carroll county shoot

the defense of his father. Such is the
announced intention of friends and ac-
quaintances living in the adjoining coun-

They declare that the people of Virginia
gave the daughter of Dexter Goad, the
court clerk, gold medal for handing
loaded pistols to her father, and if she
merited that recognition. then Claude
Allen deserves a gold medal for defend
ing his father when court officers began
firing at him and for remaining at his
fathers side when the latter was wound
ed. He refused to leave, declaring he
had done his duty and would take the
consequences.

in their efforts to save the life of Claude
Swanson Allen.

practically trying him twice for the same
offense and showed vindictive and re-
lentless spirit totally at variance with
the history and traditions of this great

action legally can be taken.
Attorney General Stead and Gov.
Deneen will complete their investigation
OF the law on the subject either tomor-
row or Monday, when definite announce
ment will be made.
Legal Points Perplexing.
The seriousness of the legal points
which are perplexing the governor is in
dicated by the fact that the progressive
members-elect to the legislature are plan
ming, in the event of a special session
being called, to go to Springfield and
demand their seats.
The progressiyes hold they have been
elected and have the right to take their
seats whenever the legislature is con-
yened, regardless of whether the republi-
can secretary of state sees hit to with
hold their certificates of election until
after the special session.

legislature along wet and dry lines Is
said to be possibility. as a result of the
deadlock existing between the parties in

Clarence w. Marshall, forty-nine years
old, of 146 street northeast, is in a
serious condition at the Emergency Hos
pital as a result Of the explosion. Both
of his legs were broken when a huge
cake of concrete struck him.
1t was at first thought that both of his
legs would have to be amputated. After
consultation, however, an effort was
made to save the injured limbs by means
of a unique operation. Pieces of thin
steel plates were fastened about the
shattered leg bones in such a way as
to support them. The operation was per-
formed by DR.. Harry Lewis, superin-
tendent of the hospital At a late hour
last nuight Mr.. Marshall was reported to
be resting quietly.
Several charges of the explosive, the
police say, had been placed in a. hole
under concrete and earth near the j street
corner of the site.
Failed to Dodge in Time.
John r. Gray of 456 c street north
west, in charge of the excavation work
for the contractors, set off the charge, it
is stated. Marshall was but short dis
tance away at the time, with consider
able money in envelopes in his pocket to
pay off the drivers. Marshall attempted
to dodge pieces of concrete and bricks,
but one huge piece of concrete struck him
on the legs.
AS the dust cleared away employees
saw Marshall on the ground and num-
ber of them rushed to his side. A tele-
phone message was sent to Emergency
Hospital and within few minutes the
injured man was in the hospital.
No information could be obtained at the
office of the contractors last night as to
whether or not dynamite was used in the
excavating.

Conference With Taft.

ference yesterday between President
Taft and James Bryce, the British am
bassador. at which it was presumed the
Balkan situation was discussed. Such an
understanding with Great Britain in Eu-
ropean Turkey and the assignment of
the Cnalga to the Asiatic empire seem to
constitute all precautions possible for the
protection of American interests at the
moment.
The Unalga first will go to Beirut on
the Syrian coast, and only one day 5
sail from Port Said. After ascertaining
the situation there the cutter Will steam
at highest speed northward for Smyrna.
There are large American missionary and
educational institutions and commercial
interests at both these points. There is
ter to Constantinople at this time.
The fortunate position of the Unalsa.
! so close to the scene of warfare. created
"a feeling of relief here, as it is believed
the little cutter will be able to give ade-
quate protection to Americans and their
property in Asiatic Turkey. She can
easily afford asylum for more than 500
people. transport them to safe territory
of refuge and return for more.
Finished Last Spring.
The Unalga. turned out of the shipyard
at Newport News only last spring, is a
1,1O0-ton vessel, armed with three high
power, sA-pouhoer, Tdplu-uTlnS guns.
She can make thirteen knots an hour.

RUSHED TO TURKEY

at Port Said.
ON HER MAIDEN VOYAGE
Will Protect Americans in Case of
an Uprising.
TO PATROL ASIA MINOR COAST
The Scorpion Remains at Constanti-
nople-Montana and Tennessee
Leave Philadelphia Tomorrow.

Moved to speedy action by the imp end
ing crisis in the Balkan war, the United
States government yesterday intercepted
the American revenue cutter Unalga at
Port Said, on her maiden voyage around
the world, and ordered her to rush to the
coast of Asiatic Turkey to protect Ameri-
can life and property in tie event of a
Moslem uprising against foreigners.
The Unalga, the newest and latest type
of revenue cutter, will patrol the coast of
Asia Minor pending the arrival of the
cruisers Montana and Tennessee. These
two big warships. under rush orders for
the Mediterranean, will not be able to
sail from Philadelphia until tomorrow,
and it will require two weeks to make the
voyage. The United States station ship
Scorpion will remain at Constantinople
to afford protection to Americans there.
Should anti-foreign feeling in Turkey be
famed into a flame as a climax of the
struggle between the Christian and the
Turk before the arrival of the United
States warships. it Is generally supposed
here that the British men n-of-war around
Constantinople would afford protection to
the interests of American citizens if the
