At the first electrocution In the history of Pennsylvania some nervousness had been expected, but there wns llltlo of It apparent. The keepers who buckled Talap into- the chair, may have fumbled a bit. but- with all their work was lightning qulcK. DOOMEP MAN'S STHUOOLE The first victim of, I. o chair relinquished his hold on life reluctantly. At exactly 7il4 o'clock the drop of a white handker chief was the signal for the release of tho first shock. Thq man's body strained ngalnst the straps ns 2300 volts coursed through his limbs. Tho spasmodic move ments of the chin driven ngalnst tho death mask shorted that every musclo was quivering. At T.YIM the second charge was turned on. An Instant after the signal for this a thin lino of bluish smoke curled upwnrd like tho smoko of a cigarette apparently from tho right leg of tho strapped muidcrcr. No delay was permitted and the third shock was switched on nt 7:20. Tho charge had btn gradually drop ped to S00 volts and this final chargo failed to show any fluttering life remain ing. Just cno minute and ten seconds after the man entered tho room the first shock of electricity wns turned on. Tho Hev. Antonio t'lnnltzky, of namoy. Pa., was Tulap's spiritual adviser. Ho Joined tho doomed man early last night nnd stayed with him until the end. At 5 o'clock this morning tho priest said Mass In tho cell. The organist of his church assisted. Talap ate a light breakfast a short time beforo tho execution. APPROACH OF THE END. The rest of the time Talap spent In prayer. Excessive caro had been taken by those In chanro of the dcathhouso to see that nothing wns wrong. At tho last minute thcgasollnc engine that generates current for the dynamo was Btarted. That muchlne has been tested soveral times a day In the last week. This gasoline en gine was tho first notice to Talap that death was near. In spite of efforts to tone down Its explosions, the throbbing noise of the mnchlne In action penetrated oven through the 2-foot concrote walls of the deathhouse. When this machine started beforo C o'clock this morning, Tnlap knew his end was near. The electrician nnd all con cerned with the execution other thnn the guards at tho deathhouse arrived there shortly before 7 o'clock. Tho first cur rent was turned on at 7:14 o'clock. At 7:21 o'clock the witnesses and newsnaper men got up and (lied out of the room. The body was taken Into tho autopsy room. Relatives had made arrangements with n Ucllefonte undertaker to take tho body back to N'orrlstown for burlnl. This will be done late this afternoon. TALAP'S CRIME, i Talap gave his lfo for the killing of bis wifo on August 6, 1913. They were walking from Pottstown to Stowe. Tho woman wns found dead In the rond tho next day. There wns a bullet hole through her head, another through her arm. Three weeks later Talup surren dered. He said he had shot his wife accidentally while showing "ner his re volver. The prosecution contended there had been Jealousy and n quarrel, and thnt this was responsible for the shooting. Talap was found guilty of murder In tho first degree and sentenced to be electrocuted. Tnlnp was not tho first man to bo sentenced) under the new State law, Andrew Mnllnowsky, of Allegheny county, the first, got a reprieve last week until March 28. He Is now In the death house. Tho physicians today were Dr. r. J. Campbell, Dr. J. W Crane, of tho New Jersey Stato Penitentiary, and Dr. J. F. Cody, phjslcian lor tho Centre County prison. The witnesses wore J. n. oy, or ueiic fonte; John B. McLean, a Philadelphia lawyer.: Silas II. Itowland, of Philadel phia; Amen B, Hess, of Lancaster, father of the electrocution bill, and P. A. Johns, of Unlontown. Dr. D. A. Kcll, of Potts town, also was present. JNSTIiUMrNT OF DEATH. All the latest appliances for the formal taking of human life have been Installed at the new'tlenthhouse. Tho switchboard standing Just back of the chair and slightly to the left Is so arranged that, after the full capacity of 1300 volts has been thrown en, It automat ically runs down several hundred volts. The first shock, according to the physl clnns, icndorh the victim unconscious; but to kill, the man In tho chair must re ceive the exact voltago suited to his re sistance. If there Is too much It will not kill, hence 2300 volts aro put on first, the next shock starts at MOO volts and runs I down to WOO. The death house In Itself Is a grlm looklng two-story structure built of solid concrete. It sits ntop a bleak, desolate looking hill about four and a half miles from Bellefonte. Over at the squatty station of Bock View the State owns 11,000 acres of the surrounding countryside. Here will ba established Pennsylvania's model prison farms. So far there Is nothing on the site but the death house save a few frame buildings to the rear, one of which Is the cottage of Warden John J. Fiancls. The latter did not attend the execution. A sample of the 20-foot concrete wnll that eventually will surround tho 11,000 acres has been erected Just below tho death house, This and the house itself stand out stark white against the drab dreariness of tho hill. Across the valley there Is a mountain. MUItDEnEIVS LAST HOURS. There nie no windows In the death house. Talap hos not seen the sky nor the earth since ho was brought from Nor rlatown by the sheriff and two deputies a week ago. He has spent the time until his execution today In solitary confinement. The man is survived by no relatives other than his children. They are all small. No one came to see him during the week but the priest. He left no message for the world and held no conversation with any one but his spiritual adviser. Last night, according to the prison authori ties, he confessed his slna and received absolution. Talap was clothed In black trousers, gray shirt and black shoes when he was brought into the execution chamber. He squirmed slightly as he approached the chair and turned his head to look at it, In his face, rather than fear, was a look of curiosity. I?e apparently was ready to die and he did not flinch. The chamber is u large room, about 20 by 0 teet. a concrete bench runs about three walls of It for the witnesses. Almost against the other is the chair, placed In the centre of a rubber mat. Ropes hung from brass poles surround the chair. Undoubtedly, Bay the wit nesses, electrocution is more humane In Itself than hanging. There is absolutely nothing gruesome about It. Until the priest knelt before the man about to die the witnesses were utterly dlsregardful of the "silence" signs hung all about the room. The attendants and the clergy man quieted them. MANY CONDEMN DBATJJ PENALTY. But the grim house on the hill, with its multlplielty of barred doors and sound proof walls, the extreme care that locks pp the condemned In wlndowleog bare rooms presenting suicide, or escape, the otwjlesa formality of it all, have made rnny in this neighborhood believer In ifce abolition of capital punishment lit te bvtois of the town and around the aUon the townspeople talked of noth ituf ele yesterday and today.

DENTAL STUDENTS AS CLINIC PATIENTS Volunteer as Subjects in Operations at the New Evans Institute.- University of Pennsylvania dental students took gas, had their teeth filled and underwent other operations today during clinic demonstrations at the new Evans Dental Institute, 40th and Spruce streets, which was dedicated yesterday during tho University Oay exercises. Some of those operated on were rcgulnr patients of the University free clinic, but 'the supply ran short during the morning, nnd students were asked to volunteer for the operation. C. W. Peaslce, of Portland, Maine, a second year dentnl student, was one who volunteered his services. He sat In a chair in the post-graduate clinic room and submitted to having a front tooth lilted while students nnd graduate dentists gathered about the chair and watched. A new painless method was popular with those who underwent operations this morning. This Is a new nitrous oxide oxygen method In which the patient In hales gas, and, though unconscious to pain, Is able to watch the operation. Groups of visiting dentists gathered In the orthodontic clinic on the first lloor to see photographic exhibits of operations by which tho contour of the face had been changed. No orthodontic operations were demonstrated during tho clinic this morn ing, for the process of changing tho shape of the face takes a year to a year and a half. Tonight Dr. L. M. Humberger, of Now York, president of the Dental Alumhl So ciety, will preside at the alumni banquet. The speakers will Include Provost Smith, Dr. Richard H. Harte, Dr. E. T. Darby, ex-Mayor Idhn Weaver, Dr. Joseph Noble, Dr. Luther M. Weaver and Dean Kirk, of the Dental School. WHAT IF GERMANY WINS? Professor Ferrero Will Discuss Prob lem in Public Ledger. What will happen If Germany wins? Will she bo satisfied to remain on the other side of the water? What If the Kaiser succeeds In holding the iron mines of France nnd 1116 deep, rich coal mines of Belgium? These nre some of the questions which nre on every tongue In Europe and which nre also discussed here freely. These aro questions raised by Pi of. Gugllelmo Ferrero, the eminent Italian historian. Not only Is Ferrero one of the most distinguished historians of his day, but being closely In touch with the forces and diplomats striving to preserve Italy's neutrality, his views are taken unquestionably ns of one who knows. A direct reply to the above questlonu Is made by Professor Ferrero In a series of articles addressed in particular to Americans and Italians. Each instal ment will give new light on the different angles of tho world's most gigantic war. Tho first article appears Sunday, Feb ruary 28, exclusively in the Punuc LIUKIEH. A man who appeared to be a little wider than a ffag pole ran along Lehigh avenue, shouting and whlatllng thrdugh his fingers. Sergeant Mullen chased htm. but the frail stranger ran several squares before he stopped. Then he told the ser geant that he was a dengeroua man. When he waa taken to the park and Le high avenues station, the prisoner stood behind a pole, and for a few minutes It was thought that he had escaped, "If you don't hold me tight," said the stranger. "I'm liable to blpw out the window." "What's you name!" asked Magistrate Kmely. "William Stout," replied the prisoner This brought a general laugh. "Years ago," eaid Stout. Jwpen I was fat I became a vegetarian and never ate anything for supper, but a strained to mato and a soda biscuit Now I'm glall even to get that, for I havo no definite address. . "You're the Jolilest homeless man I ever saw," said the Magistrate, so I'm going to give you a chance at the bill of (are at the; House of Correction." "Just let on' yer goln' to kill yourself and it's a cinch to git the price of a meal."
