SWORD WIDOW IS SENTENCED
TO BE CONFINED AT HARD LABOR
FOR REST OF LIFE.
Composure Is Unohaken as She Asserts
She Is Innocent Of Husbands
Murder.

Minneapolis, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Sharp
less was called to face CONTEMPORARY
for the last time. And in no particular
did the woman's demeanor diffe r from
that which has marked her trial and
her reception of the jury's verdict that
she vas guilty of murder in the first
degree in having killed her husband,
Leaning S~harpless, the night of Nov.
IA.
Only the wife of a deputy sheriff
preparing to take her to Saltwater and
Mrs. Nels Clausen, County Jail Matron,
sat beside Mrs. Sharpless when Judge
Leary pronounced sentence, hat con.
demned the woman to spend the rest
of her life in the penitentiary.
With composure still mistaken, Mrs.
Sharpless was called to the bar and
answered the questions that the law
provides the Court must ask before
passing sentence. If the 200 men and
wOmen who had gathered expected
Mrs. Sharpless to falter during this
last ordeal they were disappointed.
My name is Charlotte ~Sharpless,"
she said answering Judge Leary's ques-
tons. For the last four years l have
lived at 1929 Yale Place. | was born
in Minneapolis Jan. 26, 1880. My par

the Court are Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Hicock, Mankato, and Mrs. Bertha
Luhman, Pennington, MINI. | belong
to no society or social organization.
Have you anything to say, Mrs.
~Sharpless, why sentence should not be
passed upon your asked Judge Leary.
Nothing except that ] am innocent"
We'll, the court has 10 option in
this matter said the Judge, and he
sentenced the woman to be confined at
hard labor in the State Penitentiary at
Saltwater for the remainder of her
natural life.
Mrs. Sharpless did not ever bow her
head. She turned slowly, stepped down
from the stand and resumed her place
beside Mrs. Clausen. A ~long-drawn
sigh swept through the courtroom.

WANTS MORE SHIPS FOR
DEFENSE OF THE COAST

Washington, Dec. 10.-FOr the first
time in many years, the house naval
committee conducted in public its hear

has assumed the nature of a general
inquiry into efficiency and general con-,
ditions of the feet.

OF the Atlantic feet, in a general state.

naught as the greatest weapon of naval
warfare.
THE European wal has not demon

the battleship is any less valuable in
naval warfare than heretofore or that
it is, not still the main factor in finally
determining a conflict.
Defense Against Submarines.
"The submarine undoubtedly is a
valuable adjunct tn a navy. The de-
tense against the submarine has not
yet been fully developed. Eventually
a defense against the submarine will
be found. just as Il defense was found
against the old-style spar torpedo and

The admiral gave it as his opinion
that great naval battles would contin.

ships.
Could Assail American Fleet.
Edmiral Fletcher told the committee
a European nation could send subma-
rines across the ocean to dart into an
American harbor and assail the Ameri-
can fleet. 1t was, of course, he said, a
suppositious case, as to the practicable
ity of such a mov For instance, he
said, England had a nice little supply
station 700 miles away from New
York harbcr at Bermuda.
The admiral said he would recon-
mend, as good policy, eight or ten more
submarines for coast and harbor de-
Tense. He emphatically reasserted
that the real success of the navy must

NO LET.UP IN POLAND BATTLE
BOTH RUSSIANS AND GERMANS
ANNOUNCE SUCCESSES.
Austrians Preparing to Leave Bel
grade, Says Report-Servians'
Recovery Marvellous.

London, Dec. 1.-THE battles in Po-
land continue almost without intermis-
sion, and while both Russians and Ger
mans announce successes and the cap
ture of prisoners and guns, apparently
no decisive result has been reached
in any series of contests. The Germans
are still delivering heavy blows at
the Russian center, where they assert
they took IL 900 prisoners and 40 ma
chine guns, while to the south of
Cracow, where the Russians are on the
offensive, Grand Duke Nicholas re-
cords the capture of 1000 prisoners,
four guns and seven machine guns.
Another Russian force is holding the
passes of the Carpathians, and is thus
preventing the Austrians from sending
relief to their army in Galicia. There
is no news of the German troops who
are advancing south of Mlawa with

Russian right, since P~etrograd report.

Wonder at Servian Recovery.
The marvellous recovery of the Ser
vians and their defeat Of four Aus
trian army corps which had penetrated
half way across Servia remains the
wonder of military men. The crown
prince. im his address to his troops,
told them they had beaten and pur-
sued with a rapidity unheard of in
military history.
The shattered Austrian right wing
crossed the Drina into Bosnia, whero
it was attacked by the Montenegrins
near Vishegrad, and had to leave am
other toll of prisoners, killed and
wounded and war material. The pur-
suing Servians also picked up another
5000 prisoners and some guns and
munitions.
Austrians May Leave Belgrade.
The Austrian army from Belgrade
has again essayed attacks against the
Servian right wing, but, meeting with
no success, retired. 1t is officially re.
ported the Austrians are preparing to
leave Belgrade.
That the former German cruiser
Goeben, now owned by Turkey, was
not so seriously damaged in her brush
with Russian cruisers as has been re-
ported, is shown by the fact she took
part in the recent attack on Batum,
the Russian seaport, which. according
to the Turks. resulted in a serious fire,
but which the Russians say caused
little damage.
Bulgaria, according to a Paris re-
port, has expressed to the powers OF
the triple entente her desire to remain
neutral. This means Roumania, If she
so wished, would be able to join the
allies without fear of being attacked
by Bulgaria.

Up-to-date hens lay ungermed eggs
The Sentinel=record., 1914-04-25

While spirit of optimism and hopefulness was apparent at the white house the three big executive departments continued busy with their new burden of activity.
 At the state department Secretary Bryan talked with a procession of callers. The Spanish ambassador had brief conference, presenting, it is believed, an inquiry from his gov ernment about possible mediation. The German ambassador, it was un- derstood, inquired about the status of commercial vessels and their car goes, and told Mir. Bryan about the uncertainty abroad as to whether a blockade had been declared or a state of war existed. The American government holds that it's seizure of the customs house is in accord with international precedent as an act of reprisal. No blockade has been de- clared and no interference with commerce will be attempted.
 The German vessel that carried the shipment of arms which it was feared might reach Huerta, has landed it's commercial cargo, but the captain of the vessel, for reasons of his own, has not put the ammunition ashore. The United States forces at Vera Cruz have made no effort to prevent it's landing. The accepted theory here is that the ammunition was not landed because of the cer- tainty that it would not reach the consignee if deposited in the Vera

quiries to the United States about possible means of mediation between the Huerta government and the United States, but Secretary Bryan said these advances could not be de scribed as "overtures' and he was inclined to attach little importance to them. The position of the Ameri- \can government is firm that an of &nse against its dignity and na- ti6Qal honor has been committed and that~t. must enforce reparation from Huerta.
 Signs of uneasiness abroad be- cause of the United States, through not having declared a blockade or a state of war is exercising jurisdic- ton at Vera Cruz between measures "short of war" and actual war be- came apparent today.

1 wanted any war appropriation" and Mir. Wilson replied, Not as yet"
 Secretary Garrison is virtually without funds for the particular moves of the army now being made but he is drawing on the future. It Is violation of law for the war de- partment to incur any obligation without authorization of congress, but Mir. Garrison smilingly said he had faced iail' several times in the last few days on this account. Lead CTS in congress have assured him they would back him up in the pres ent emergency.
 The president hesitated to approve any request for an emergency appro- priation for the war department for fear it might be interpreted as a forerunner of WE.
 Mr. Wilson will affix his signature probably tomorrow to the volunteer army bill providing for raising a volunteer army force in any time of emergency. The possibility that the militia might be needed at this time led to an appeal to the supreme court of the United States for the decision of a pending case to remove regal obstacles in the use of the militia for volunteer service.
 Army officers estimates as to the number of men the president might call for in case or war range from fifty to one hundred thousand, but not a syllable has come from the white house as to this point.
