the Christian it is the most sacred

To-day the Sinai Peninsula is a part
of Egypt and controlled by, the Bri-

runs from a point on the Mediterran-
can coast near Ell Arish, short dis

ried off the gates, to the head of the
Gulf of Akaba, where mean viii
lage of mud houses, about the ruins
of an old fortress, stands on the site
of a city Of ancient might and splen-
dor. The length of the Egyptian
coast line within what is known as

ITALY is NOW READY
Fully Prepared to Enter War If
Contingency Is Forced
By Associated Press

Rome. Dec. 4.-Many members of
Parliament consider that the state
ment of Premier Salandra in Parlia-
ment yesterday, in which he advised
that Italy maintain her attitude of
watchful and armed neutrality and
made a reference to what he termed
the just aspirations of Italy, together
with a demonstration by the members,
means that Italy is now ready.
Deputy Labriola, a prominent mem
ber, summarized his opinion of the
sitting by saying that "one word more
from Salandra would have meant a
declaration of war"
Others think that the phrase of the
Premier regarding the aspirations of
Italy was misunderstood and that he
might instead have alluded to the ex-
istence of an Italo- Austrian agree
ment delimitating the Italian frontier
by the peaceful annexation of a por-
ton of the province of Trent.

DIES ON SCAFF0LD
FOR KILLING WIFE

TAMPA, FLA, March 1S.-Bennie
Henson was hanged at noon to-day
for the murder of his wife in this city
last August. Henson expected to get
a reprieVe up to the last moment, but
none came. He insisted he was in
nocent up to the last, but made no
statement on the scaffold.
Henson's sister had been working
here for him for two weeks, trying to
get signatures for reprieve and left
Wednesday for Tallahassee, but could
not present it to Governor Trammell,
who was in Washington. Governor
Trammell reprieved Henson two
weeks on February %, when he had
been sentenced to hang.
Henson followed his wife here from
Key West and shot her down on the
streets soon after his arrival When
he was brought into court to be SEN
fenced he was searched, on a tip
given by another prisoner, and a
sharpened piece of steel was found.
He made threats to kill the Judge and
prosecutor.

Conferences Fail to
Alter Situation in
Police Board Race

Ihere was no change Friday in the
deadlocked race for the chairmanship
OF the Police Board, in which w. p.
Fain, R. T. Pace and w. A. Vernoy
are engaged, with the last named
holding, in his own vote and that Of
Z. r. Garner, the balance of power
needed to elect either of the other
candidates.
A long conference between Fain
and Vernoy Friday terminated with
out result so far as could be learned.
Another conference, between vernoy
and Mayor Woodward-in behalf of
Pace, his candidate-was held Thurs
day, and was similarly lacking in re-
suits.
The situation appears now to de-
pend on which of the three candidates
will give in first, and who will re-
ceive the support of that candidate.
Fain, as the man with the most votes,
is believed to have the best chance.
