ROME WARSH|P
To AID CONSUL
D. K.W|THU.S.
Copyright. 1898. by international
News Service)

The United States will raise
no objections If Italy decides to
send a warship to Santo Domingo
in connection with the imprison.
ment there of an honorary
Italian consul, Amadeo Barletta,
held on charges Of subversive
activities against the dictatorship
of President Rafael Trujillo.
Premier Benito MuSSolini had
diverted his attention momen.
tarily from the mobilization of
italian forces on the African
continent to resort to the threat
of force on this side Of the
world in connection with the de-
tention of his consul in q
Dominican Jail.
II Duce sent his envoy, Ambas-
sador Augusta Rosso, around to
the State Department to inform
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
that he was getting impatient
over the detention of Barletta
and that unless the latter was
quickly released Italy might find
it necessary to send a warShip
to effect his release.
There was reason to believe
Premier Mussolini hoped this
threat alone would be sufficient
to effect the release of the
Italian consul and that no de-
finite decision had been made
to send the warship.
Mussolini's action in notifying
this Government of the contem-
plated action was understood to
have been prompted by two mo-
tives: Respect for the Monroe
Doctrine and the fact the State
Department has been interested
in the case because Barletta
represents American motor and
tobacco interests in the Domini'
can Republic.
In fact, Secretary Hull has
made representations to the Do
minican Republic on the grounds
that Barletta's detention was in
juring the American business in
terests he represented. Italy had
hoped these representations would
be sufficient to effect his release.

Doomed. to Live

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Q.N.SO.
Suffering from aplastic anemia,
a rare and usually fatal malady,
12.year-old Ethel Thomas faces
the prospect of spending the re-
mainder of her life with the
blood of other persons in her
veins.
Medical science so far has
been unable to find a remedy
and the only treatment Is re-
peated transfuSions.
Normally the blood cells neces-
sary to life are constantly being
replenished. In sufferers from
aplaStic anemia, the blood loses
this ability to perpetuate itself
and the blood stream is soon re-
duced to a point where 1t can
no longer sustain life.

D. {. JAIL LACKS
DEATH CELL
GUARDS

"Cheating the chair" by taking
his own life could probably be &C
complished with little difficulty
by any prisoner awaiting execu'
ton at the District Jail.
This fact stood out today after
an interview with Capt. Thomas
A. Rives, Jail superintendent, in
which he deplored the lack OF
guards which he said makes it
impossible to place a 24-hour
watch on prisoners in the death
cage" without severely weakening
the guard elsewhere in the 1nstl'
tuition.
Commenting on the suicide OF
Harrison M. Kaiser in his cell
Monday, Captain Rives said:
1T Is impossible for us to
place a 24-hour guard on con-
demned prisoners because We
haven't the personnel to do it.
When I came here in October,
1893, I found that the practice
was to place a guard on constant
watch in death row only about
two weeks before a man was to
be executed.
even this cripples the guard
force in other sections of the
building, and we do not feel
free to allow the watch to be
weakened any more than neces-
Sary."
Guard Had Left
Kaiser's suicide occurred be-
tween S 80 and 6:45 a. m, Captain
Rives declared, and came at a
time when the guard who was
regularly assigned to the death
cage" j. B. Murphy, was required
to be on duty in the dining hall
Mr.. Murphy had made his
round of the cell block at $50
Just prior to going into the din
ing hall, and at that time Kaiser
apparently was asleep on his mat
tress. A little more than an hour
later his body was discovered
hanging from the topmost bar OF
his cell window by A. w. Howard
another guard who was relieving
Mr.. Murphy. while he and two
prisoners were engaged IN clean
ing up the cell block.
Torn strips of sheeting and mat
tress cover had been used to make
the moose.
Captain Rives declared Kaiser
was Inherently vicious" and sale
every precaution had been taker
to prevent him from doing harm
to himself or others.
He disclosed that as recently as
May / the condemned man had
attacked a guard with one OF the
metal braces from his bunk. After
that outbreak, Captain RiveS or
dered all hunks removed from MS
cell and left him only a mattress
and bedding. The mattress wa:
placed on the cell floor.
Even his drinking cup, Captain
Rives continued, was without &
handle.
The superintendent also dis
closed that before Kaiser hae
been transferred to the "deatt
cage" he had struck a fellow
prisoner with one of the Gel
stools while the man was asleep
No motive could be found for thu
act other than Kaiser's apparent
desire to feign insanity in ordel
to escape sentence for murder
Despite the lack of an adequate
guard force, Kaiser's suicide wa
the first by a condemned prisone,
that guards could remember
There had been one suicide sew
eral years ago, one of the watcl
recalled, but that was of a mai
who had not yet been sentenced
and, therefore, had not beer

Before his Pacific Coast cham

And, sure enough. the Cardinals
could not pass successfully when
their backs were pinned to the

deal of time in spring drills to-
