"Only that I am sorry and that I wish to atone," the boy replied in tones scarcely louder than whisper. "You will atone," said the president of the court.

"I will give you ten years at hard labor." The prisoner fainted and was carried back to his cell. He was well known at The Eagle Bureau and was liked by "nice people." Also his family in the States is "nice." Four Others in Trouble, When this story was printed in The Eagle, it aroused the keenest sympathy and almost of itself created a campaign for leniency. Hundreds signed petitions to Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes begging him to take steps to obtain a modification of the sentence. It was pointed out that these soldiers that are left in France, especially those left in Paris, are deserving more of sympathy than censure.

They are not bad, merely weak and susceptible to the glamours that the more wealthy are always eager to take advantage of. On July 2, Secretary Hughes received The Eagle's special letter and the petitions and took the matter up with American Embassy in Paris. More recently, the Embassy broached the case to the French Foreign Office and received the promise that it would see that the appeal did not go through the regular long-drawn-out channels, but would be sent direct to a higher court. There was every indication that the sentence would be modified. was made known as "Mercy A special effort, to obtain clemency Dazes for than French a week ago prisoners.

NEW CABINET MAY BE FORMED IN SPAIN Madrid, Aug.

9-Indications that a new cabinet will be formed to take the place of the new ministry now in office are found in developments here. King Alfonso coferred yesterday with Count Romanones, former Premier, who later declared that, owing to the gravity of the Moroccan situation, he had abandoned a vacation he had planned. Spanish forces continue to hold positions south of Melilla, Morocco, where they have been resisting mined attacks by rebellious tribesmen for the past week or more. An official statement issued last night told of supplies of ammunition being carried into the towns of Sidi Hamed and Atalayot by a column of Spanish troops, but the presence of Moors north of those towns was indicated by the statement that the column has lost twe killed and ten wounded in defending the convoy carrying the munitons. It is declared the Spanish have established themselves in positions dominating the town of Gourougou.

Believe Spaniards Face Long and Costly Campaign London, Aug. 9 (By the Associated Press) The Spanish disaster in Morocco is, in the opinion of military observers here, of such a nature as to preclude the Spaniards from regaining military control of their territory except after a long and costly campaign. According to the meager reports which are passing the Spanish censorship the Spaniards retain now virtually no teritory in the Eastern Moroccan area with the exception of the fortified city of Melilla, on the coast, before which the tribesmen are sitting.

NAVY DEPARTMENT TO MAKE DEMAND FOR BATTLESHIPS: Says Capital Vessels Are Essential to Proper Development of Fleet. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. By C. C.

BRAINERD. Washington, Aug. 9-The Navy Department is preparing itself to meet the drive in Congress for a cancellation of part of the 1916 building program, which is now under way. It is preparing to make a last ditch fight in behalf of the 11 battleships and six battle cruisers provided for in that program, in the belief that they are absolutely necessary to the proper development of the fleet. It Congress is going to insist on cancelling anything, the Department will suggest that 12 destroyers, six fleet sub.

marines and one transport in the 1916 program be sacrificed, rather than a single one of the capital ships. The argument will be that these lesser vessels can better be spared than any of the big fighting ships which are now on the ways, and that their total cost can be turned into an airplane carrier, if Congress will not grant such a carrier without sacrific ing something else. The Department does not want to sacrifice anything in the 1916 program, but realizes the situation that is developing in Congress, particularly since the bombing tests off the Virginia capes. Congress is looking not only for a place to swing the economy ax, but it becoming increasingly skeptical of the value of capital ships against air- craft. Wants $110,000,000.

There have been reports of a suspension of work on some of the big ships now under construction. It authoritatively denied at the Department that any suspension has been ordered, despite realization of the fact that Congress may order a partial abandonment next winter. The situation with regard to the capital ship program is described thus: The Department wanted a minimum of $110,000,000 to carry on construetion of the 1916 program during the current fiscal year. The Navy bill as finally enacted allowed only 000,000 for that purpose. Even the sum of $110,000,000 would not have permitted work to be kept up at full speed; it meant slower building.

The $90,000,000 allowance, distributed among all the big ships on the program, still further reduces the amount of work that can be done during the year. At times there has been a cessation of work on certain ships, followed by a resumption. This has often been due to a wait for the delivery of materials, or to occasional labor problems. There has never been enough money to keep all the ships under way at full blast. But no order has ever been issued suspending indefinitely the work on any ship.

All of the 11 battleships and six battle cruisers are advanced in greater or less degree. The battle cruiser Ranger is only estimated as about 1 percent completed, while the United States and Constitution are rated at between and 5 percent. These percentage figures, however, it is explained at the Department, are not necessarily accurate. For the most part they take into account only the amount work actually done in putting the ship together, along with what material may have been delivered at the ways. They do not take into account contracts that have been let and parts that may have been fabricated but not delivered.

Still Favor Capital Ships. Undaunted by the sinking of the ex-German ships by Army bombers, the Navy experts still regard capital ships as the foundation of a navy. The building program lags not because the Navy men have any doubts concerning the need for these ships, but because they have not the money to rush work. Senator King has a resolution in Congress to discontinue work on five battleships and three battle cruisers, to finish one battle cruiser and convert two others ino airplane car-, riers. The Department fears that some modified order of this kind may come from Congress next winter.

wants an airplane carrier, but in addition to all the big ships on the present program. If it comes to a showdown, it will be willing to offer as sacrifice 19 ships that have not yet been started-12 destrovers, six fleet submarines and a transport. These vessels were authorized in the ef-1916 program. It is felt that they are the battle cruisers and less to the development important, battleships. This is particularly true in the case of the destroyers.

The Navy now has about 300 destroyers, due to intensive building of that type during the war, and is probably better equipped in the destroyer class than anywhere else. For the total cost of these ships which have not yet been started an airplane carrier could be constructed, and the Navy wants carrier very badly. It expects that Congress will authorize least one carrier next winter. If is a case of saving a battle cruiser, the Navy will let the smaller vessels go. PHONE MEN TESTIFY IN GAMBLING PROBE (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L.

P. Stone the Raymond Street Jail yesterday, "He has gone before a Judge who is neither a Democrat nor Repubtican, and his political pull is no use to him now.

He used that pull to hound me out of Cincinnati, and he realized at last that he didn't treat me fair. He will be my spirit lawyer and get me out of this." she added, sobbing aloud and twisting her clenched hands together. The grim grey walls of the mond Street Jail. grimy and stained with time as they are, have never housed more pathetic figure- -this thick set, heavy featured woman over 40, whose starved and thwarted emo. tional life culminated in murder last Friday night, when she shot Ellis Guy Kinkead, former Corporation Counsel of Cincinnati, a brilliant member of the Bar.

She killed him at a few minutes before 6 o'clock, when the cherished women, the happy wives and mothers in the neighborhood of 45 8. Elliott were calling their children in to supper. sorry I did it now--I'm sorry," sobbed the murderess, her face red with weeping. "They say I'm crazy, but if I am, who made me that way? Since April I've been here alone i4 New York, thinking, thinking. Nobody knew.

nobody cared, and then the heat came, the awful heat." "You're net glad you shot him now?" asked the reporter. "No, I'm sorry now. I love him so, and he loved me, indeed, he did love me. Until this other woman got him away from me he loved me dearly. "If I hadn't been left alone and my work hadn't been taken away from me this awful thing would never have happened.

Miss Laura Logan is the superintendent of the General Hospital in Cincinnati. She refused to give me a hearing and turned me out of the Nurses Association. I was a good nurse and a hard worker. Oh. why did this terrible thing have to happen to me?" Miss Stone's pretty brown taffeta dress was spotted with her tears.

She could hardly talk for weeping.

The fourth case since last Friday night of a policeman breaking out on a rampage, assaulting civilians, and in one instance resulting in a death, occurred when William Fogarty, 25 years old, of 106 W. 172d Manhattan, was shot in the thigh early today while seeking to adjust an argument over a for drinks in his capacity as entertainer and assistant manager of William Gallagher's Broadway Gardens in the basement of 711 7th ave. Patrolman John Fitzpatrick of the Charles st.

station is alleged to have fired the shot. When Fitzpatrick was arraigned before Magistrate Hatting in West Side court the case was adjourned until Aug. 15, to allow Fogarty recover sufficiently to appear in court. The complaint against the policeman was the W. 47th st.

station. signed by Police a Sergeant Chenu of Assistant District Attorney Rawlinson asked that bail be fixed at $1,000, because the prisoner was a police officer. Fitzpatrick's father was present to go bond for that amount. "No, sir," replied the magistrate. "Bail will not be $1,000 This is a serious matter.

I will make the bail $2,500. Men, especially policemen, cannot go about in restaurants and public places, promiscuously pull out revolvers and proceed to shoot up the place in Wild West fashion." Fitzpatrick's father left to obtain an additional $1,500. This was the third outbreak of police violence in twenty-four hours. The followers of Tighe, who went to Berserk's on 42d st. recently and terrorized women and children in the vicinity, succeeded in beating up J.

A. S. Carpenter, an advertising man, at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon, and blackjacking a man to death in South Brooklyn. In the latter case the policeman denied responsibility, a denial that was complicated by the appearance of witnesses. In the former, the policemen vanished The Broadway Gardens is a rendezvous for policemen, city officials, judges and magistrates.

To this place about 2:30 a.m. today went Fitzpatrick, accompanied by George F. Quinn, of 21 Convent Martin E. Quinn, of 105 W. 128th and another man.

When Fitzpatrick asked for his check he was handed a bill $2.50. The size of the check, it is alleged, en. raged the officer. He stood up, according to witnesses, bowling over his chair and throwing the restaurant into an uproar with three or four shots, one of which struck Fogarty in the thigh. The wounded man had hastened to the Fitzpatrick table to act as a peacemaker.

During the wild scramble of blanched men and hysterical women for the exits, some one telephoned Lt. Putz of the West 47th st. station, stating that "a cop is in trouble. Send an ambulance." Reserves were dispatched in commandeered taxicabs and an ambulance summoned from the Flower Hospital. The reserves arrived in time to see Fitzpatrick stagger up the stairs, an ugly gash running down the left side of his head.

He was between Detectives Graney and Gray of Inspector William F. Bottler's staff. "What's the big idea?" demanded Patrolman John Hughes and Detective Michael Quinn of the W. 47th st. station.

The two in charge of Fitzpatrick flashed their shields and said they were taking their prisoner to the Roosevelt Hospital. He finally was taken to the Knickerbocker Hospital and later arrested there by an officer whose name was not revealed. He was then removed to the West Side jail. He was bandaged about the head. A large plaster over his nose left only his mouth and left eye visible.

Carpenter was enjoying the game between the Yankees and the White Sox. He was sitting with his feet against the seat ahead. "Get off my coat." growled the occupant in front. "I am sorry," repllee Mr. Carpenter.

"I did not realize I was stepping on your coat." "Yes you were," jeered the coat owneraid I was sorry," said Mr. Carpenter. "What more do you want?" With that, the owner of the coat and his companion, in plain' clothes, set upon Mr. Carpenter, who is about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 135 pounds. The coat owner did the pummelling while his friend stood by, to prevent interference from the crowd, which began to howl for the police.

"We're policemen he's under arrest," declared the coat owner, and dragged their luckless victim through the crowd to the gate. There they apparently thought their case was a trifle weak, for they both vanished, while the victim and an army of fans descended on the police station to lodge a complaint.

It is related that Behan, passing Culkin's home at 533 Baltic had insulted Mrs.

Assistant District Attorney Joseph Gallagher, stating that the people's case against Olivia Stone, who shot Ellis Guy Kinkead on Friday, was not ready, asked for an adjournment this morning in the Gates ave. court and Magistrate Harry Howard Dale put the case over until Thursday. Miss Stone, her face red and swollen from recent tears, said nothing in the court room, but weary and disheveled, stared vacantly ahead of her as though dazed. She wore the same brown taffeta dress and black hat she had on the evening of the murder.

When she came down from the judge's bench she started to go out the little gate which swings toward the court room and freedom. One of the attendants motioned her back. Her knees sagged and for a moment she appeared about to faint and swayed unsteadily. An attendant led her down to the cells below the court. Abraham H.

Kesselman, Miss Stone's attorney, stated that the defense would be temporary insanity. "Miss Stone not only did know what she was doing at the time she fired the revolver, but for two days afterwards her mind was not he said. "It all seems to her now like a motion picture dream. She is only beginning to realize the serious nature of her act." When asked how she spent her time, he replied that most of the time she wept and moaned in her cell, that she was in a highly nervous and excited condition.
