no hope Of his escaping trial there
lit is generally conceded that the
highly strung young man viii be
driven mad before he has been long
within the gloomy walls.
Italy knows no death sentence. The
Italian law does not exact one life
for another. But the dread punish
ment that is inflicted IS feared far
more by the general run Of criminals
than the electric chair, the hang
mans moose, the garrotte or any other
form Of execution.
The extreme sentence in Italy is
life imprisonment. but this is hedged
with such methods Of mental torture
that few who last more than short
stretch Of years retain their minds.
Many arc driven stark, raving crazy.
Charlton. with his sensitive, nervous
temperament. can hardly endure the
agony Of mind that the Italian prisons
induce
For the first ten years Of life
sentence, the prisoner may be kept
IN utter darkness. and in the strict
est solitude, and with nothing to eat
and drink but plain bread and water
a few weeks Of this treatment gener-
ally is sufficient TO reduce the most

Charlton's sole remaining hope lies
in an appeal to President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan, If this fails
and the Italian tribunal gives him
the fearful life sentence, he can only
pray that the White Plague, Of which
he is victim, may bring him soon
to "a merCiful end

Congregation (nonsectarian) in New Ma
sonic Temple yesterday afternoon. The
next thousand years. he declared, will
see perfection on the earth.
DR.. Brenneisen, quoting st. Peter-"A
thousand years is as a day with the
Lord" divided up the Creators building
OF the earth into cycles Of 200 years,
and argued with numerous scientific ref
erenccs that the earth is now in the
final part OF 6.ooI years of the last
cycle. when it is predicted in Holy Writ
that the Messiah is TO come to the earth
for the second time for the beginning of
the last Judgment.
Formerly geologiSts have declared. said
MIR. Breneisen, that the earth was only
formed after a work Of millions of years.
but at the present. he averred. they are
content to bring the evolution down to
thousands OF years and are thus coming

FOR LOCAL SUFFRAGE
Maj. W. o. Owen, Retired Army Of
6eer, Addresses Crowd at Typo
graphical Temple.

Maj. W. o. Owen, U. S. A., retired, a
brother of Senator owen of Oklahoma,
made a strong plea for local self-govern-
ment at Typographical Temple last night.
Il sincerely believe" said Maj. Owen,
that the District OF Columbia should
be represented in both bodies of the Con-
gress OF the United States, and in all
municipal affairs that they SHOULD say by
and of their own motive what form OF
government they prefer to live under and
to name the individual men they wish to
administer this government of their own
choice'
He described the different functions OF
the District government. showing how
their authority Is derived from different
sources so that the system lacks co-or-
dination and responsibility.
The speaker called attention to the

by Tom L. johnson in 1879 and again

LIFE OF ST. CECILIA
THEME OF MINISTER
Rev. Wallace Radcliffe Praises Patron
of Sacred Music-Elaborate
Programme Given.

st. Cecilia as a patron OF church music
and the life of that saint was the sub
ject Of short address by the Rev Wal
lace Radcliffe at the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church last night. DR.
Radcliffe declared that because St
Cecilia went TO her martyrdom singing Io
musical Instruments, she has since then
been looked up TO as the patron of sacred
music.
Music has a strong place in the wor-
ship of all churches" he said. 1T has n
strong appeal to the soul which raises
II above the fuss and turmoil Of every
day life. The. fact that the illustfious
saint went to her painful death singing.
proves that there is something OF inspira-
ton attached to music.
Really beautiful music affects some
people just as would a sermon. In some
respects music can be called that inter-
probation OF poetry which brings us
closest TO God. For the person who has
any appreciation at all for the beautiful
no effort is required TO feel the beauties
Of good music.
An elaborate classical musical pro-
gramme was rendered by the church
choir in honor Of st. Cecilias Day.

A dragging out of War Department
skeletons and a general rafting of the

On its face. the resolution asks inno-
Gently only for Information. but officers
last night admitted that the publication
Of the service records of the officers in
cluded in its scope will lead TO a revival
of all the bitterness that followed the
rapid elevation out OF the medical corps,
of Gen. Leonard Wood. who now stands
a t the head of the major generals, and is
Chief of Staff of the Army.
Only recently the effort to give Gen.
w. w. Wotherspoon the rank of ma jor
general. which was approved by Gen.
Wood and the President. was held up
ir the Senate for many weeks. The
bitterness in this case arose from the
fact that claims of Gems. Funston, Per
shing. Hoyt. and others who have seen
long service in the Philippines were dis
regarded.
The point made by their friends was
that mere seniority ought not to count
against actual gallant field service. and
that the true theory of promotion ought
to be for merit
Another case of military promotion
that caused great mental distress among
army officers was that of Col Clarence
b. Edwards. head Of the Insular Bureau
at the War Department. to the rank Of
briSadicr general. and he now holds the
command at Fort II. \. Russell WyO.
Col. Edwards. in the arguments of the
critics. came under the head of swivel

both President Taft and President
Roosevelt. His friends. however. proved
that he had done good service in the

his nomination went through.
