The reason why the head of the Catholic church, who has hitherto been exempt from anarchist violence, has incurred their hatred is, that the contents of a per- sonal letter sent hy lope Pius to Queen Amelie of Portugal immediate ly after the murder of her husband and oldest son have leaked out. In the letter the pope told the queen that it was her duty as queen and mother to stand at her don's, the young King Manuel's side, and con tinually admonish him to use the greatest severity in dealing with anar chists as with these people would be taken as a sign of weakness result in the mur der of the king. Pope Pius is even qoted as having said that only by garroting and beheading all anarchist leaders could the anarchistic evil be stamped out of existence. The Paris police are in constant communicatior with the Italian, Spanish and Portu guese police. - -- -- - _ - -- DICTATOR a . ------ ---- WITH ITS ------ BED HAYTI - ofi rotund fovely *'} thete are to replace her, relations with We the and cand « that is earned by others | jnediatelv bi Re aud MALTY §% ---- , DISTUR rh dates leniency and would surely A French jury has once again found extenuating circumstances in the cas: of a callous murderer guilty of as imagined.

Hastily put- ting the body out of view, he waited for his father's return from the fields. and despatched him in the same fashion, The last victim was his hali-brother. He had just brought the ox team in when a terrible blow out his head in twain. Chartier's next move was to dispose of {he bodies. He built a great fire in the farm. house 'oven, and, after cutting the corpees into pieces, flung the remains into the furnace. Two of the bodies had been thus disposed of when he was disturbed and fled.
