CHARMS or THE WEST
ERN SPORT

KabuL Afghanistan, March 2S.-
This country, which has kept itself
as free as any place in the Orient
from western institutions. has finally
succumbed to the charms of golf The
sponsor of the royal and ancient game
ls the. amir himself. who is rapidly
becoming an expert player Under tute-
lage Of Scottish mining engineer.
This Scotchman came to Kabul look
ing FOR mining concessions. He
brought with him his bag of clubs on
the remote chance Of finding golf
links in d country. which had cherish
ed a prejudice against any game
played with q bail since the time Of
Omar Khayyam, and soon discovered
that the monarch was fonder OF. talk
ing sport than business. When he
spoke enthusiastically Of the Scottish
royal game, the amir lost No time. in
putting a corps OF sapners and miners
to work constructing q course under
the direction sof the visitor. Since
that time the amir has become a de-
voted exponent Of the game and he
has attained a fair degree of profici-
,ency But nU matter what his skill.
he bids fair to remain champion of
the country. for it is not considered
polite to defeat a man who enjoys
the power of life and death over every
one OF his subjects.
The game has reduced tile girth Of
the amir and improved his health, but
he is afraid Of overriding It, so at
his winter capital he is. having built
a miniature links de luxe, limited in
size and as smooth as a tennis lawn
Here he will play the game without
any Of the bunkers or hazards usually
provided by the ordinary course.

William Furnishes Fun

Berlin, March 2S.-Europe has found
amusement in the financial embar-
rassmeat OF Prince William Of Weld,
who was forced to arrange all the
preliminaries OF his ascent to the
throne of Albania on credit.
Not until the last moment before
his departure from Berlin did the
young monarch-elect succeed in get
ting any Of the $1,OOOoO0 loan which
had been arranged by the powers.
The result was that he was unable to
meet the bill Of $3.50 for moving his
personal effects and furniture to the
palace at Durazzo. The shipment was
entrusted to the German agent Of the
Austrian State railways, who finally
lobtained orders from Vienna to send
the bills for transportation to the
Austrian foreign office.
Austria also paid the railway fares
and hotel bills Of the new monarch
on his round Of state visits to the
capitals Of Europe and furnished the
steamer to take him to Durazzo. The
gorgeous uniform which the prince de-
signed for his state entry was turned
out by the Austrian court tailor, and
the Albanian notables, who came to
the princes German home at Neu-
wied to offer to him the crown, bor-
rowed in Vienna the money for the
first payment on that necessary piece
of royal equipment.
The crown consists Of circlet Of
gold set with turquoises, above which
are six intersecting arches Of gold,
supporting at the apex the white star
of skanderberg." Skanderberg was
the Albanian national hero and last
defender Of Christian and national
interests in the Balkans against the
invading Moslems. He spent his boy
hood as a Turkish captive and EN-
braced Mohammedanism, but finally
escaped to Albania, organized an in
surrection. and established an Alban-
ian principality which he successfully
defended against both Turks and yens
etians for rs years during the fif-
teenth century. Prince williams son
and heir. Prince Carol Victor, born
May 10, 1918. will, it is announced,
be renamed skanderberg and ultimate
" become skanderberg II Of Albania,
should the kingdom continue its pre-
carious existence until that time.
Good judges Of balkan conditions
here assign an existence Of not more
than To- years to the new kingdom, and
the German foreign office Is convinc-
ed that William may even lose his life
within that period.

in condition Of not realizing the en-
ormity of what he had done,
'1n the majority OF cases these
crimes arouse the pity. not the sever
ity Of the jurors. If the accused is
acquitted the reason will not be found
in sentimentality or distortion Of the
human sense Of justice, but rather in
the conviction Of the jurors that hui
man agencies should not inflict fur
ther penalties upon the man before
them, who, having made victim of
smother. is himself the victim of an
inexorable fate.
I'VE shall prove before the court OF
assizes- that the Charlton drama Is
due to an alteration which upset the
normal mental faculties of the accus-
ed. This will clearly appear from the
interrogation Of witnesses. and our
contention will be rurther supported

Criminal Museum closed

London. March 2s.- Because 1t was
becoming as great an attraction for
the morbid as the Paris morgue, the
criminal museum of Scotland Yard
has become practically closed to all
except those who can show some
good reason for desiring to visit it.
The museum has never been opened
to the general public. but it has not
been difficult to obtain admission.
Now a permit must be secured from
the second commissioner Of police,
and the visits can only be made on
one Of two days in the week.
During the past year 1t became
quite the rage for society women to
obtain permits to view the gruesome
relics which the place contains, and
complaint was made that the museum
was being turned into sideshow
for the qualification of the morbIdly
curious. Some Of the relics are de-
|cidedly ghastly. and these are dis
played with q lack Of reserve which
according to the Scotland yard au-
thorities did not naasse flxed parties
Of visitors desirable. Besides the i'm
plements used IN the commission Of
famous crimes. perhaps the most in.
teresting exhibits in the place are
death masks, formerly made Of every
criminal executed in England.

HOPES

AMERICAN ON TRIAL IN COMO
WILL TALK TO THE JURY
IN ITALIAN

st r. Id
Como, Itafys March 2S.-Porter
charlton, the young american. who
killed his wife, Maag Scott Charlton,
when they were spending their honey
moon here In June. 1910, has acquired
q sufficient knowledge Of Italian to.
avail himself Of the privilege under
the Italian law to be the first and last
to address the. jurors before whom ne
is to be tried on the charge of murder.
Sympathy for the accused youth has
been demonstrated frequently during
his detention in the San Domeno pail,
since extradition from the United
States last August. While Charlton
has been studying the language Of the
country his lawyers have been work
ing up public opinion in his favor.
The effect is apparent Visitors to
the Jail are many and privileges have
been granted to the prisoner by the
director and keepers of the Jail. His
meals are served from the outside.
Good food and daily exercise in the
court yard Of the Palace Of Justice
have kept him in fine heath.
1t may be midsummer before the
case is tried, delays being due to ex-
tended investigations undertaken by
both sides
Charlton's, lawyers have been get
ting in touch with numerous witnesses
in America. Twenty Of them have
been subpoenaed, and it is expected
that several may appear personally
before the court of assies at Como to.
contribute their testimony as to the
psychological condition OF the accus-
ed.
While the case is new in the sense
that it is the first time an American
citizen has been extradited and tried
in italy. it does not differ greatly from
the so-called crimes Of passion SO
frequent here.
Studying the terrible drama, we
have become convinced and will dem
sonstrate,1 say Charlton's lawyers in
sketch of the theories they will pur-
sue, that an obscure and inevitable
fatality presides over these awful
crimes, which go from love to death,
from the idyll to tragedy, by which a
human life is suddenly cut short by
the hand of a creature who loved, and
who still passionately loves, and who
after the crime remains terrified,
weakened and stunned by what he
has done, incapable of believing that
the blood was shed by him.
'fCharlton, of weak character, mex.
perienced, overwhelmed by the artful
attractions of Mary Scott, was cap
tured by an almost pathological fas-
cination, had his conscience weakened
and enslaved and became the easy
tool of incoherent and Illogical ex-
4cesses.
ITO prove this we have added to
the documents of the trial the inter
views with DR.. Procaccini, major of
the royal navy. who travelled as royal
commissioner aboard the steamer
which brought Charlton from New
York to Naples Dr.. Procaccini, after
having studied Charlton for about two
weeks expressed the opinion that at
the time of the crime he was in
state of moral infancy and therefore

Peshawllr, India, March 2S.- With
secrecy and speed unusual in public

rushing to completion the forts and
roads Of Khyber pass. 10 make II. a
Gibraltar against invasion from the
north. AS domestic unrest grows in
India, the fear of sne kussian bear
and the unruly states between Russia

England is clearly determined not to
be attacked in the rear in the event
of native rsssllion.
Two years ago the road across the
famous pass was hardly more. than
a trail for pack animals. hut today
Khyber Is traversed by two roads
suitahle for the fastest and heaviest
military traction. The defensive
works have been constructed with
such secrecy that none Of the details
are known to the public. 1t is be-
lieyed that the natural battlements
formed by the cliffs above the roads
are honeHcombed with hidden EN-
brasures behind which great noun
tain guns lie hidden. Competent en-
gineers believe that unless the de-
Tending force is cut or from the south
the pass can be defended by small
garrison even against host such as
the ancient invaders Of India brought
down from the north.

Of these debts the report which
! is signed by vfscount Goschen, the
new chairman, says.
1T is indeed deplorable that these
prosperous and progressive states o.
the great American Union take nS
steps to settle their defaulted debts
and it seems, to say the least Of it
an anomaly that the United State.
should insist on compliance with its
obligations by a country like santc
Domingo when so many of the states
within its own borders are not observ-
ing their own engagements.
These excuses put forward by
these states by non-payment are mani
fold, but they may be generally class
ed under three beads:
"(1) North Carolina pleads that her
defaulted obligations were contracted
while the state was being administer
ed by the federal government after
the civil wa. The answer to this Of
course, is that the bondholders have
nothing to do with differences between
the states and the federal govern
ment. One or the other must be. re-
sponsible for the issue Of the loans in
question, and it is most unfair that
the state should refer its creditors to
the federal government and that the
federal government should refer them
back again to the state. Tennessee
for many years adopted the same atti-
tude as North Carolina; but the farm
er was wise enough to realize that
no state can maintain its position in
the world Of credit which attempts to
Justify the repudiation Of obliga
BY excuses which, in the case Of in
dividuals, would not be tolerated in
any civilized court Of law. and there
fore came to a settlement with the
holders Of its bonds.
"(2) Louisiana alleges that there
were Irregularities Of some kind or
another in connection with the issue
Of most Of her repudiateds Bonds! II
would, Of course. put an end to e.
credit If state. on discovery that if
