QUICK JUSTICE.
Two Italians Convicted For
Brutal Murder.
POLICE GUARD COURTROOM.
Filipe dl Marco and Lorenzo Call! Con
victed of Flrat Degreo Murder For
Killing Mre. Mary Hall Nov. 9,
Making Three to Face Chair
For That Crime.
New York. Nov. 30. When the Jury
filed back Into the trial room of the
supremo court whore Justice Tomp
kins sat in the Westchester county
courthouse at White Plains to render
its verdict upon two Italians charged
with murder, six armed men of the
water board's aqueduct police slipped
their holsters around to the front and
silently closed in back of the defend
ants' chairs.' Tho foreman of the Jury
rose in answer to tho court clerk's
query and pronounced the finding of
the Jury "guilty of murder in the first
degree." Then steel bracelets were
snapped over the wrists of the two
Italians and they were led back to
their cells whllo the uniformed men
with the weapons at their hips stood
facing the courtroom.
Thus Klllpe dl Marco nnd Lorenzo
Calll, two of the gang charged with
hnving murdered Mrs. Mary' Hall In
the old Griffen mansion near the shore
of Croton lake on Nov. 0, heard their
doom and one moro episode in one of
tho most unusual criminal cases ever
hold in Westchester county was closed.
The Jury had been out less than fif
teen minutes. The whole time occu
pied by the trial from the minute the
court clerk rapped for order until the
justice rose after fixing Wednesday
next for sentencing bad been seven
hours and thirty minutes.
On Tuesday Vlncenzo Cono, the first
of tho five to be tried, had faced jus
tice and been condemned to death In
ten hours and twenty-five minutes.
The most remarkable feature of the
trial was that in the county seat a
county just over the border from Now
York city the even course of Justice
had to be insured by tho presence of
eighteen armed men in the courtroom,
the corridors outside nnd the entrances
to the courthouse.
Justice Tompkins denied that he
himself had received any letters threat
ening vengeance, but District Attorney
Winslow said a number of letters had
come to his office breathing defiance of
the law and forecasting the death of
every officer of tho law who should
have n hand Jn punishing the five men
under indictment.

more than 97,000 in the pockets of tin
clothing, the corpse of a one armed
Slavish peddler, believed to be John
Boduar, formerly of Youngstown. O.,
but moro recently of Massena, N. Y
was hauled out of the Erie canal here
The man had met death by drowning.
The body had been in the water at
least ten days. A letter found in one
of tho dead man's pockets indicates
that he has three daughters residing
in Youngstown, O., and that they have
been searching for him for the past ten
years.
When the undertaker disrobed the
corpse he took off an overcoat, two
coats, a vest and four pairs of trou
sers, and then tho money began to ap
pear. A leather belt around the waist
held a black leather pouch tightly
against the man's back, and from tills
pouch a roll ' of damp currency wns
taken out. Four pocketbooks filled
witli gold and sliver and five valuable
watches were found elsewhere in his
clothing, as were two bank books, oik
showing deposits of $0,275.D0 in n bank
at Massena, N. Y and tho other a de
posit of $100 In a Carthago (N. Y.I
bank.
WANTS TO KNOW WHO OWN IT.
Steel Corporation Belleve3 It Has
Thousands of Shareholders.
Iscw York, Nov. 30. Tho United
States Steel corporation has scut' out
to a long list of banking and brokerage
houses a letter which asks that lists of
its stockholders bo submitted to the
company. Tho company's idea Is to
get together evidence that steel shares
are not concentrated in a few bunds,
but uro Yldely held by persons of
small wealth.
Estimates are that nearly 50 per
cent of steel common is held in the
names of brokers nnd bunkers for
other individuals. Seventy-five sfocl;
exchange houses nre said to have in
their strong boxes 1,000,000 shares
which belong to clients. It has been
supposed that thoro wero 35,000 com
raon stockholders nnd 70,000 preferred
stockholders of record. It Is thought
that lu the course of the present coiv
vass tho steel corporation will dls
cover that It has many more stock'
holders than that and that many of
them are small investors.
Demand For Royal Jewels.
Paris, Nov. 30.-At the salo of the
Jewels of Abdul Humid II., deposed
sultan of Turkey, thlrty-nino Iota
brought $237,000, bringing tho total
sales to nearly $1,000,000. Thero nre
seven more days in which tho sale will

Distinguished Prelate
Urges Senate to Ratify
Pending Treaties
By JAMES CIltELMAN.
SINCERELY hope that the new
arbitration treaties negotiated
by our national government
with Great Britain and France
will be ratified by the senate," said
Cardinal Gibbons. "They should re
ceive the support of the whole coun
try. It Is of the utmost importance
that civilized nations should bind
themselves in advnuce to submit to
arbitration nil international questions
Lwhlch can be settled by the applica
tion or principles or law ana equity,
nnd I can sec no reason why there
should not be appointed joint commis
sions to Investigate international con
troversies and determine whether par
ticular questions are of such a charac
ter, so that each nation will be in hon
or bouud to submit those issues to
international arbitration rather than
resort to war. That Idea represents
the best spirit of the age. It has be
hind it the Indorsement of the Chris
tiau world.
'Among the many advantages of in
ternational arbitration it seems to me
to be n very serviceable breakwater
against war because its deliberate nnd
orderly procedure gives a nation's
blood time to cool. Formerly it was
only necessnry to slap the face of a
foreign minister, and that was consid
ered a sufficient casus belli. Think of
a condition In which a personal affront
like that was regarded as a Justillea-'
turn for tho slaughter of multitudes! i
Duels between individuals were
once frequent in this country. Even
lu the United States senate and the
house of representatives an insult
would be followed by armed combat.
The nation, however, has grown wiser
nnd better, nnd the duel has been rele
gated to the museum of extinct social
monstrosities. I do not see why the
same Influence that led to tho suppres
sion of duels between Individuals
should not produce a like result in the
affairs of nations, which are simply
aggregations of individuals. General
International arbitration treaties seem
to me to be the surest and quickest
means through which tho universal
peace may be effected or nt least ap
proached.
Those Who Suffer Most.
"When wo consider the evils of wir
nur eyes are directed almost exclusive
ly to the combatants themselves.
have no thoughts for the noncombat
ants". The truth is that the most fright
ful sufferings of war are borne by the
wives and children of those who fight
in the field. The bitter agony of their
waiting nnd anxiety Is far worse than
the mero physical hardships and suf
JoHnss of tho armed men. A wound
to the loved one in battle strikes more
cruelly those who have to wait nt
home. Physical suffering usually dis
sipates the fear of death. Men can
suffer nnd die bravely In tho excite
ment of war, but harder, much hard
er, to bear Is the moral ngony of those
who must wait, without power to help
their dear ones In danger.
"Tho financial side of war. too, has
its strong aspect. It is proper that the
world nt large should hnve something
to say about quarrels between partic
ular nations. The commerce of na
tlous is now so Involved and related
that war between two nntions is an In
terference with all nntions. For In
stance. I havo $20,000 invested in Ger
man securities. Germnny goes to war.
and I must suffer, nlthough I am an
American citizen, lnternntionnl efforts
lo prevent war rest upon equitable as
well us humanitarian rights. Tho re
tmlt of war Is not only a loss of life,
but also a partial paralysis of trade.
"Men will not fight if they hnve
time- to grow cool. Nations will not
fight If they have time to think. The
penalties and degradations of war are
too great, tho agonies of the weak and
helpless, tho aged and other noncom
batnnts uro too horrible, the waste of
wealth, tho destruction of industry nnd
commerce uro too vast to bo endured
when thero is n wny to peace. 1 nm
in favor of tho general arbitration
treaty principle, and I lnd6rse tho ider.
of the new treaties with Great Britain
and France becauso I bellevo that
questions which might otherwise re
sult in wnr should bo first taken away
from the Influence of party politics nnd
considered seriously in the calm neu
tral nir of some impartial tribunal
whose flndlnga must at least morally
bind tho contending nations to submit
to international arbitration nil ques
tions which may be found solvnble ac
cording to principles of law or equity.
The world's greatest need Is a break
water against temporary passions.
War i3 too horrible to be entered upon
In cold blood nnd with deliberation
when there is any other possible way
to settle the question in dispute."
Peace It Christian.
"I think that one of the things that
will redound most to the glory of our
country in tho future will be its en
thusiastic devotion to the movement
for International peace. Devotedness
to this noble purpose alono will stamp
tho United States as a truly Christian
country, for universal peace among
men the brotherhood of men Is ea-

eentlally Christian. Before the ndveut
of Christlunlty wnr was the rule, peace
the exception.
"In spite of the fact that the divine
ly appointed spokesman of Christianity
eloquently pleaded for universal peace
among nil men and all nations and ,
that, in defiance of this constant up
peal, wars were waged, still it must I
bo admitted that they occurred less '
frequently than before and were con
ducted with less cruelty nnd less In-,
humanity. Tho rdjisous for this, if
time permitted, could be clearly stated.
Uowever it would be unjust to infer
from this fact that Christianity has
failed in her mission of peace to the
nations. It should be borne in mind
that the Christian religion enforces
her humane precepts not by the I
sword, but by moral and religious sanc
tions, nnd that in contending for
ponce she has to struggle against the
most formidable of earthly forces and
the most imperious of human passions.
"It is a gratifying fact that, with a
population of about 100.000,000. the
army of tho United States does not
exceed 40,000 men, who are scattered
tnv tho most part along the frontiers
of tho country. This force, while suffi
ciently strong to preserve our domestic
peace, Is too Insignificant to excite the
fear or provoke the Jealousy of our
neighbors. Our best security lies In
the supremacy of the law, In the loyal
ty of our citizens, In their strong at
tachment to our free Institutions and
in abstention from entangling alli
ances. "That the cause of lnternntionnl
peace is gaining ground is evident
from the fact that war is no longer
precipitated among Christian nations.
as in former times, at the whim of
tho sovereign, but tho voice of the peo
ple is heard through their represeuta
tlves and the press, nt lenst in consti
tutional governments. Commercinl in
terests and fraternal and social rela
tions between the nations of tho earth
are now becoming so intertwined that
ono country can hardly inflict an in-1
Jury on nnother without having the
blow recoil upon itself.
Arbitration the Proper Course.
"In well ordered society the disputes
of individuals are settled not by re-
course to a duel, but to the law. Would
it not bo a blessing to humanity if
national controversies were composed
on tho same principles nnd tBa,t the
just cnuse of n nation should be vln
dlcnted by a court of arbitration rather
than by nn nppcal to arms? Then to
rulers, as well as to private litigants,
could be npplied the words, 'Thrice Is
he armed that hath his quarrel Just'
And this amicable system, while pro
tecting the rlghta of the weak, would
not humiliate or wound the national
pride of the strong since it does not
attempt to trench on the sovereignty
or nutonomy of any power.
"Christianity has not only dimlnshed
the number but has mitigated the hor
rors of wars. In pagan times the con
queror rarely showed mercy to the con
quered. Vae vltls (woe to the van
quished) was his usual motto. The
cities were laid wasto. The wives and
daughters of the subdued nation be
came tho prey of the victorious soldier.
The defeated kings and generals were
obliged to grace the triumph of the
conqueror. They wero led away in
chains and doomed to hopeless cap
tivity. "Contrast the treatment of the Jews
under Titus with tho conduct of Gen
eral Grant toward the conquered Con
federate states. Both generals were
engaged In a civil war. Judea was as
much an Integral part of the Roman
empire as the southern states were of
the Federal Union. Its inhabitants ap
pealed to the clemency of Titus as
forcibly as the vanquished states ap
pealed to tho magnanimity of tho
northern general. Yet Grant in allow
ing the southern leader, with his offi
cers and men to return homo nfter the
surrender nt Appomattox Court nouse
was not particularly praised for his
humanity.
"Imagine General Leo with his sur
rendered army led In chains through
tho streets of Washington, the victo
rious troops bearing aloft the confis
cated treasures of southern homes and
sanctuaries nnd the victims compelled
to erect a public monument to their
own shame!
"Let us cherish the hope that the
dny is not far off when the reign of tho
prince of peaco will be firmly estab
lished on the earth, when tho spirit of
tfce gospel will so far sway the minds
and hearts of rulers that standing ar
' mles will yield to permanent courts of
arbitration, thnt contests will be car
ried on in the council chambers in
stead of tho battlefield nnd decided by
the pen instend of the sword.
'If wo do not insist thnt before men
go to war they shall do everything In
their power to settle their dispute by
arbitration then might becomes right."
