Washington, Nov. 19.-The nomina-
ton Of Henry M. Pindell of Peoria as
ambassador to Russia was not sent to
the senate Monday and despite per-
sistent rumors that his nomination
has been Indefinitely postponed, Sec
rotary of State Bryan denied there
had been any change in the plan of ap-
pointing the Peoria editor.
A member of the foreign relations
committee is authority for the "un-

STA has entered a protest to the APP
pointment because of the official ad-
mission that Mr.. Pindell was to be ap-
pointed under practical agreement
that he would not be expected to serve
a full term.
The alleged forged letter end of the
imbroglio developed another sensation.

The letter received at the White
House declared that the writer had
correspondence between the president
and Senator Lewis which he would
publish unless he was ''let alone"
The letter to Senator Lewis referred
to letters that had passed between
the senator and Secretary Bryan and
Secretary McAdoo and to correspond

Senator Lewis said Moulthrop's let

DEFY STATE HEALTH BOARD
Teachers and Pupils in Smallpox AT
flicted District Decline to Un-
dergo Treatment

Madison. - School teachers and
children in Mount Horeb and Port
age, where an epidemic of smallpox
has broken out, are defying the state
board of health, which has issued or
ders that all of them be vaccinated
as required by law where contagious
diseases prevail. Many of the chill
dren and their instructors have re-
fused and are still attending school.
Orders have been issued by the
board of health to the school officials
of both towns to arrest any one who
attends school who can not show a
certificate of vaccination.
At Mount Horeb there are fourteen
cases reported, while at Portage there
are twelve. Local physicians at first
were inclined to report the cases as
chicken poX, but an examination made
by experts for the state left no doubt
that smallpox in virulent form ex-
listed. State officers have been dis
patched to the scene of the epidemic.

u. S. SAILORS ACTS AT
NAPLES CALLED DEPLORABLE
Authorities Urged to Act-Commanc-
ers Attend Ceremony Marking
Pope's Anniversary.

Rome, Nov. 1.-THE majority Of the
officers from the American battleshlps
were present at the ceremony in the
Sistine chapel in connection with the
anniversary of the coronation of Pope
Plus X.
A large number Of American sail
ors stood in line in the halls leading
to the chapel to witness the passage
of the pontiff, who was escorted by
twenty-five cardinals.
Following in the procession were pa
triarchs, archbishops, the members
Of the congregations and the heads
of religious orders. Contingents OF
the various guards added to the pic
turesqueness of the scene. The Sis
tine choir, conducted by Father Loren
20 Perosi, a noted composer, fur
nished magnificent music.
The pope sat in the throne, after
ward returning to his apartments IN
his chair. Cardinal Merry del Val,
the papal secretary of state, celebrat-
ed pontifical mass and impaired the
benediction.
While the behavior Of the Ameri-
can sailors for the most part has
been exemplary, some of the news
papers complain that at Naples the
actions of a few bluejackets were
"deplorable." In some instances this
has caused evaporation, notwith-
standing the traditional hospitality
of the Neapolitan people. Several
fights have taken place among tho
sailors themselves.

SPENCER FOUND GUILTY:
GIVEN WISH TO HANG
Jury Returns Verdict of Murder in
the First Degree-Murderer
Curses Judge and Jurors.

Wheaton, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Henry Spen-
Ger was found guilty Friday at Whea-
ton of the murder of Mrs Mildred Alli-
son-Rexroat on the night of September
26 at Wayne, Ill. The jury fixed his
penalty at death on the gallows.
Astonished that the demand" he
had voiced so loudly during the trial
had been granted, and that his secret
hope of a verdict of insanity had
slipped away, the slayer dropped his
air of bravado and boastfulness.
His face turned a yellowish green
and his lower jaw dropped In sud-
den frenzy he thrashed around, trying
to free himself from the handcutf by
which he was bound to John Hester
man. deputy sheriff.
He cursed the court, the jurors and
States Attorney Hadley. He called the
trial perversion of justice and re-
viled anew all who had a part in it.
When he passed the jury box on his
way back to his cell he told the jurors
he would like the pleasure" OF beat
ing them to death with the hammer
which he said he had used in killing
many of the % persons he claimed to
have murdered.
Sheriff Kuhn took the spectacles
from the murderer's face and Spencer
leaped upon him to recover them.
Guards held him while he was searched
again, and even a soft lead pencil was
taken from his cell. The sheriff will
have guards outside Spencer's cell
door until he is hanged and will spring
the trap himself, he announced.
