Marzoni of Pen- sacola, Fla member of the first class, on the charge of hazing Midshipman Chester S. Roberts of Joliet, Ill., a mem- ber of the fourth class, began this morn- ing, after the record of yesterday's pro- | ceedings had been read. Marzoni is be- | ing defended by George H. Mann, an at- | torney of New York City, who was a | member of the class of 18% at the Naval | Academy. | The first specification alleges the haz- | ing of Roberts by compelling him to per- |form “No. 16." The second and third | specifications allege that Marzoni haged Fourth Classman Benjamin W. Tye of Atlanta, Ga., by compelling him to bring the accused's breakfast on different ocea- | sions. The last three charges are In | connection with the alleged Hazing of | Midshipman Albert C. Bryant of Canton Bend, Ala., a fourth classman. They are that Marzoni compelled Bryant to bring |him his breakfast, stand on his head | about twenty minutes and perform *No. 16" about fifty times. Marzoni was brought before the court {and introduced George H.

CHICAGO, Jan. §.—Four Chicago ministers of four different denomina- tions completed plans yesterday to preach and study on a co-operative basis during the next four weeks for the purpose of solving, if possible, the live moral problems of this great city. Sectarian prejudices are to be for- gotten and the same sermons on the same topics are to be preached simul- taneously in the four churches. The ministers have agreed to meet to- gether in one study-room and work out the Important thoughts to be used In | each discourse.

Believes in Dealing Out Death to : Incurables. iSays Old -Doctrine Is Based Upon Tradition. PHILADELPHIA,. Jan. 5.—Dr. Charles Eliot Norton of Cambridge, who has joined forces with Miss Anne S. Hall of I(‘lm‘lnnflll and with Mrs. Maud Balling- ton Booth in their campaign for the kill- ing off of the hopelessly insane, hopeless- ly diseased and victims of accidents, ex- pressed his views in a letter to Miss Hall, I which was made public here to-day. H Dr. Norton was formerly professor of llltemlure at Harvard. He was a friend of Longfellow and Lowell, and with them made the famous translation of the “‘Di- vine Comedy.” He heads his letter “An appeal to reason, as well as compassion,” . and writes: “The principle that it is a duty to prolong every human life as long as possiblé; at whatever cost, has hith- erto been generally accepted. ““Its main support has been the doctrine of the sacredness of human life. “The doctrine and the practice have both been pressed too far. There is no ground to hold every human life as in- violably sacred and to be preserved, no matter with what results to the individ- ual or to dthers. On the contrary, there are cases to which etery reasonable con- sideration urges that the end should be put. Setting aside all doubtful cases, no right thinking man would hesitate to give a dose of lJaudanum sufficient to end suffering and life together, to the vittim of an accident, from the torturing effects of which recovery was impossible, how- ever many hours of misery might be added to comscious life by stimulants or surgical operations. “Nor should a reasonable man hesitate to hasten death In the case of a mortal disease such, for example, as cancer when it has reached the stage of inces- sant severe pain and when the patient de- s to die.” 'he prolongation of life in such a case, by whatever means, is mere crimi- nal cruelty. “Or take another instance, that of an old ,person whose mind has become a chaos of wild imaginings, productive of constant distress not only to the safferer, but to all who live with and attend him. The plain duty in such a case is not to prolong, but to shorten life. “It is not to be hoped that a supersti- tion so deeply rooted in tradition as that of the duty of prolonging lifé"at any cost will readily yield to the -arguments of reason or the pleadings of compassion, but the discussion of the subject in its various aspects mdy lead graddhlly to a more enlightened publie opinion and to the consequent relief of much misery.” ey g CHLOROFORM FOR THE POOR. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.—Miss L. Graham Crozier, a lecturer on sociolog- jcal subjects, has pronounced views in favor of ending life by chloroform. Miss Crozier says she would not hesi- tate to snuff out the lives of the chil- dren of the poor to end their suffer- ings from the pangs of hunger. “I would rather personally adminis- ter chloroform to the poor, starving children of this city than to see them living, as they must do, in squalor and misery,” declared Miss Crozier. “I do not say this for notoriety or to call attention to myself. I say it because I have worked myself trying to inter- es{ the municipal officers and philan- throplc individuals in the poverty and frightful conuitions prevailing in New York. I have talked myself hoarse; I have lectured; I uave written many letters to the authorities without ef- fect, and, if no other remedy is at hand, T will, if endowed with proper authority, put an end to the miserable children, to whom living is only a pro- longed agony."” MAXCY HILLER UNDER GUARD Declares That He Will Be Able to Establish Alibi in Edwards Murder Case NO CLEW DISCOVERED New Haven Killing Remains a Mystery and Police Are No Nearer to a Solution Special Dispatch to The Call, NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 5.—Coroner Mix, after hearing testimony to-night relative to the death of Charles A. Ed- wards of New York, who was found with a bullet wound in his head at the home of Charles A. Hiller on Wednesday morn- ing, declined to make a statement. A. Maxcy Hiller is held by the Coroner’s Jury as a witness, but is at home, guard- €d by a policeman. The Coroner sald to- night, however, that no charge of any ind had been made against any person. A. Maxcy Hiller said late to-night that he would establish an alibi when the proper time came, but refused to discuss the mysterious case further. The witnesses in the inquest to-day were Charles A. Hiller and Margaret Rey- nolds, the latter a servant in the house where Edwards was killed. No statement was given out as to the purport of their evidence. One of the interesting developments during the day and which at first looked to be important was that Charles A. Hil- ler had turned over two pistols -to the Coroner for his inspection, the Coron later giving them to a gunsmith. It h since developed that the weapons ‘were old firearms, which had been part of a collection in the Hliller homestead for years. The theory that the fatal shot was fired with one of these pistols is not seriously entertained by the police. Although the police have not given up hope of finding the weapon which caused the death of Edwards, they are convinced that it is nowhere about the Hiller home- stead. To-day the Coroner ordered the search there discontinued. The body of Edwards was taken to New York to-day. —_——— NEW INFORMATION FILED AGAINST SUSPECT ORCHARD Authorities Believe That He Caused the Big Explosion at Cripple Creek Last Junmec. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Jan. 5.— Deputy District Attorney C. A. Gillette to-day filed information in the District Court charging Harry Orchard with the murder of J. W. Hartsock, one of the fourteen mien killed in the Inde- pendenee depot explosion on June 18, 1904, The information is based on an affidavit made by Sheriff Edward Bell. Orchard is under arrest at Caldwell, ldaho, charged with the assassination of former Governor Frank Steunenberg. Gillette stated that if Orchard was released = in Idaho requisition papers would immediately be asked for and he would be brought here for trial for murder in the first degree. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 5.—Fred Miller of Spokane did not arrive at Caldwell to- day, as expected, fo defena Harry Or- chard, alias Thomas Hogan, on the charge of murdering Frank Steunenberg. County Attorney Vanduyn states it will be impracticable to hold the preliminary examination before Wednesday. The chemical analysis of the powder found in Orchard’s grip has not been completed. Professor C. F. Jones of the State Uni- versity at Moscow is on his way to com- plete the analysis, and verify the results reached by the local chemists. His re- port must be secured before the State will be ready to proceed with the preliminary examination. The local analysis of these powders in- dicates they are high explosives, but it is understood these have been very super- ficial tests, the person making them not being equipped to do the work thor- oughly. —_———————— Amnother Insurance Man to Resign, NEW ' YORK, Jan. 5.—Frederick A.

MacINTOSH DIES SUDDENLY AT SAN ANSELMO T PRESIDENT OF SAN FRANCISCO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHO DIED YESTERPAY. Divine and Scholar |} Known on Two Continents. The Rev. John MacIntosh, D. D., one of the most eminent divines on both| sides of the Atlantic, passed away sud- denly yesterday afterncon at his resi- dence, San Anselmo, and beneath the shadows of San Francisco Theological Seminary, of which institution the be- loved man was the honored and esteemed president. The cause of death was heart failure. Some weeks ago Dr. Maclntosh was ta- ken ill with pleurisy, but in spite of the painful illness he insisted on attending to his duties and would consult with his col- leagues and students in his room. He re- covered and attended not only to the work of the seminary, but came to San Francisco but three weeks ago to attend the Presbytery, where his powerful argu- ments were listened to and his advice was followed. with deep appreciation for their great value. He spoke then as vigorously as ever, throwing a fire and a persuasion into his advice which seemed irresistible. Dr. Macintosh was born in Philadelphia in. 1539 and was educated in the_Free| Church College. Edinburgh, and at the| | University of Berlin, Germany. On No- vember 12, 1860, ‘he was ordained and his | first parish was in Connor, North of Ire-| land, where he presided as pastor of the| Presbyterian Church. He then went to| Belfast, where he remained from 1563 to| 1881, and then returned to Philadelphia, | where he remained pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church for fifteen years. | While in Belfast he was instrumental in | organizing the Continental Committee of | British Churches, and in Philadelphia he | was one of the originators of the univer- | sity extension movement in the United | States. He was an ardent and influential | member of the General Assembly’s evan- | gelistic committee. Not alone was he eminent in all church | work, but he was intimately versed in 1 civic affairs. | In 1302 Dr. MacIntosh was called to the | professorship of systematic theology at| San Francisco Seminary and in 1903 be-| came the first president of the beautiful institution high'up on the San Amselmo ]hllls. looking down onto the exquisite val- ey.
