(By Cable to The Times.) Paris, July' J While revolution ary socialists rioted at the scene of execution of Llaboeuf, tbe Apache as sassin, was guillotined at daybreak today. At tbe moment tbe blade fell several of the rioters fired revolvers and the police charged with bayonets, In the melee a police captain was shot in the throat and several of the riot era were wounded. ' The socialists bad made every ef fort to gain a reprieve for the assas sin and tbe case bad even assumed to appearance of a "cause" but all of ,their efforts had failed. Llaboeuf went to the scaffold wear ing the spiked armlets which wound' c'U the police who nad attednfileil to arrest him at the time of the murder of the pbHceman whom .the Apache slew. '; .

During the night It had been ex pected that there would be rioting in the streets on the part of his friends and extraordinary preparations were made. The disorder became so great that mounted troops charged the crowds. The police used their fists to such advantage that more than eighty men bad to be taken to the hospital. As day dawned, the mob which had gathered during the night, shouted threats at President Fallieries and condemned him t r. having signed the death warrant. Laibouef and his friends maintain ed that Laibouef in his murder of the policeman was simply avenging him self upon organized society for a wrong done him by the policeman. They arrested him last July for a se ries of crimes he did not commit, The jury did not consider this plea and after a long trial, ending May 4, they brought in a verdict of guilty (Continued on Page Six.) NM (By Cable to The Times.) Rome, Julv 1 The Italian govern ment today took -the last step pre paratory to making its demand upon the United States for the surrender of Porter Charlton to be" tried in Italy for the murder of bis wife at Como when tbe final papers in the case were drawn up In the foreign office. Representatives of the Italian gov ernment will sail for the United States to present the 'requisition doc uments to the American state depart ment by one of the early steamers and it Is expected that the two de tectives assigned to guard the pris oner If he Is turned over to Italy will accompany them. The belief prevails In official cir cles here that the United States will recognize the justness of Italy's claim upon Charlton and surrender him with little formality. On the other band, It is recognized that Italy has shut tbe door on her own rights should tbe American authorities re fuse to turn him over by her stead fast refusal to honor requisitions for Italians who have fled here, after committing crimes in the United states. .

Paid Subscribers in the City TAFT PLAYS GOLF Politicial Problems and Con ferences Forgotten Bid Farewell to Affairs of State For One Day at Least and Plays Golf With Colonel Archibald Butt. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Beverly, Mass., July 1 President Taft said "avaunt" to political prob lems and troublesome conferences when he took a glance at the rising suiyas it came up over the gleaming water at ' Burgess Point today and calling Captain Archibald Butt re marked: "Archie, how would you like a lit tle golf today?" "I feel pretty fit, Mr. President," replied the handsome captain. And It was arranged then and there for a battle on the Myopia links. The president - and Captain Butt left in their motor car about 8:30. The president was in fine hu mor and the creases of care had been ironed from his face by the magic unseen hand that floats in from the sea. The president was happy over the meeting with Colonel Roosevelt yesterday. - Late last night he went to the Bev erly hospital to look after tlje condi tion of the man accidentally run down by his son, Robert. The presi dent was assured that the man was doing well, that he was asleep aud that it looked as though he would re cover. ' ' . To the newspaper men upon the outside, who sometimes are compelled to dope things to some extent, when Secretary Norton Is rather reticent, it looks as though the president and his son, Charley, bad come to some conclusion about that sail boat, "Tbe Bandit", which caused anxiety last summer. . - , " . Charley had the little boat out and was getting ready to put Tier in com mission when tb.e president arrived. it was expected that, tie would take a sail today and other pleasure craft were upon the lookout for the white wings of the jaunty craft. But no white wings; no craft. On the other hand Charley met young Fred Beals today and noncha lently remarked "Like a little golf, Fred?" Z.' i: "Well, yes; but I thought" "I think this is a fine golf day, and we can go over to tbe links and have a dandy time." "Oh, all right, Charley; me for the golf stick then." And the "Bandit" tugged unheed ed at her anchor. Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft came up to do the stores as usual early today. That is their regular morning program. They go to the dry goods stores, the groceries, drug stores, news stands, fruit stores, and any other place where there is any thing they can bnv. They are so well known and so democratic that they attract no particular attention. Rob- eft Taft is at New Haven dallying with the frayed end of his college career. Honors came to mm mere as they had to his father, the lament able automobile accident at Beverly only dimming the .finish of his col lege course. BKTTING ON JOHNSON. English Sportsmen Burking the Col ored Champion. (By Cable to The Times.) London, July 1 A considerable number of English sporting men are backing Jack Johnson to win the big fight on July 4. They say without hesitation that Jeffries at his best won fights through gigantic strength and abnormal ability to take punish ment, but that he has met his super ior as a boxer. Johnson on the other hand, say these English experts-, Is today as good a boxer as Corbett ever was and In addition is a harder hitter than old Fitzsimmons and better able to take punishment. They conclude that If Jeffries is not at the best in as good condition as he ever was In his life. his chances are very slender against Johnson. And they are sure that Jeffries is not now in the old form of active championship days, that he knows it, and that only a big money offer was able to get him into the ring. Youthful Robbers Held.

IS His Advice Disregarded by New York Legislature Puts Him at Disadvantage TAFT NOwTThE BOSS Best Political Judgment, Viewed in the Light of Yesterdays Events, is That the Colonel is Now at the Mercy of President Taft Has No Big .Stick to Wield His Advice Disregarded by the New York As sembly -and the Old Guard Smiles and Chuckles in Glee. (By William Hoster.) , Beverly, Mass., July 1 The beS political judgment, viewing former President Roosevelt In the light of the events of yesterday, is that the coU onel is now at the mercy of President Taft. : ' . :. His advice disregarded, his sup posed political power flouted by the action of the assembly at Albany, Col onel Roosevelt, whether he wants to or not, must fight and fight hard, and the measure and quality of hi.i light ing depends altogether on the support that he gets from President Taft. For Roosevelt is no longer in a position to punish his enemies. The big stick has grown soggy and rotted away. Unless he has the co operation of the man who has the power to reward and punish, he may storm to his heart's content and the Old Guard can smile and continue to disregard nis orders. Wherefore, the call on Taft yester day appears largely In the light of political expediency of a shrewd move in advance of what probably apealed to Roosevelt in the light of the in evitable. Taft, herefore, looms up as the big ger of the two at last, and in this connection, if is to be said that Taft will swing in and help Roosevelt, or. to put it another wav. the president will do all in his power, since he is In full sympathy with the movement for direct primaries, to help the movement in New York, and save the republican party from the defeat which threat- ns it here. In line with this, there is to be a fight made in everv county in New- York from now on. Direct primaries, freedom Irom the gang and reform in the state's affairs will be the slogan and a light will tie started at once against everv member of the senate and assembly who is not right on the direct -primary question. Looking, ahead, it is almost certain now 'that William Locb, Jr., will be named as the republican candidate for governor of New York. Hughes is to be allowed to go his wav. Roosevelt became convinced at the conference with Taft yesterday that Hughes could not be dragged trom the supreme court to run again tor governor. Loeb accordingly, will be united on for gov ernor and Roosevelt will take the stump for him. Before he goes on the bench m October, Hughes will probably be induced to make public his wish that Loeb shall succeed him. (Continued On Page Seven.)
