of italian slavery IN THIS Country.

From tie Ne'o York World.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Senor MOrenO's
story Of the infamous Italian slave traffic
in this country has brought out a denial
from DR.. Verdi, OF this city, whom Senior
Moreno accused OF being one of the pa
droni. In an afternoon paper DR.. Verdi
is quoted as saying:
81 never knew sO-called padrOne, and
never knew of the existence Of any ltal-
ian slavery here or elsewhere in the
United States. never imported or helped
TO import Italian pauper labor; never
kept captive or helped To keep captive
Italian lahOlers for any purpose whatever.
have never been engaged in any busi-
ness except the practice OF my profess
sion" When SHOWN this denial and told
OF other denials Of his accusation Senior
Moreno laughed:
SEQ { the iails." he said, s'and ask the
men there for what they are imprisoned.
Every one OF them is innocent. or course
these people Will deny, but Or. Verdi Will
not deny that he vent TO mr. Lydecker,
one Of the district commissioners, two
years ago and made him an offer OF cheap
contract labor for work on the reservoir,
nor That man IN New York wrote 10 the
commissioner, referring to DR.. Verdi and

from that you see on the streets every day

come TO this country Of their own Will.
They would gladly go back II they could.

are taught 20 sbun the American people
this Is land OF Injustice; that the Amer
lean people think 40 more about HANGING

are told that the padrone is sort Of
grand marshal who has power from the
Pope, from the King OF Italy and from the
President Of the United States. II they
do not do as he tells them they must feel
the whip-yes. strong men and women
and they are told II they rebel they will be
thrown into prison for lilo or be hung.
'''The padrOne is great man In their
eyes. He comes 10 them IN Italy with
big diamond on his finger, gold pins aud
chains. de tells them he picked all these
up IN the new land; that they, TOO, can
find them there. 10 Is an Eden, paradise

protect these padroni. They give
them a certificate that the children they

BEAUTIES oFTHE FRENCH LAW
Mr. wills Convicted and Sentenced for
an Imaginary Crime.

From tile Reto York Times.
In the Sartorius case Mr.. Wills, father
Of Mrs. SartoriOus. under crOss-exsmina-
ton by Lawyer William n. Cohen as to his
past life in Paris, told an interesting story
as to how a man, under the French law,
can be convicted Of an imaginary crime
and sentenced during his absence from
the country TO a term OF imprisonment.
In 1910 Sir. Wills lived in Paris. and was
intimately acquainted With a man named
Marshall. The latter became a bankrupt
and abscOnded to New Mexico. Mr.. Wills
continued for several weeks to reside in
Paris, and while there he wrote humOr-
Gus letter describing in a highly comic
and spicy manner the woe DegOne and de-
spairing demeanor OF MarshalPs credi-
tors when they became aware OF their
misfortune. Marshall WAS not in New
Mexico when the letter was delivered and
the letter was returned 10 the French pos
tai authorities. Its contents were SUI beet
ed to the usual official scrutiny. and Dir.
Wills, who was then in New York, was,
under a strangely strained construction
Of the contents OF the letter, indicted for
and convicted of completely in the fraud
ulent bankruptcy. As soon as Mr.. Wills
heard of this remarkable proceeding be
iourneyed from New York to Paris, sur
rendered himself, was put to trial, and in
the course OF a very few minutes was, as
a matter OF course, acquitted. He told the
story as a very good joke at the expense
Of the legal methods in vogue in France.
Mr.. Wills has visited Paris every year
since 1919.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE. - There
seems to be among the citizens of Lam
caster an apathy in regard to the Farm
ers' Institute, now near at hand. which
threatens its success. The value of
these institutes to the farmers is testi-
fled to by all whose experience and
knowledge qualify them to Judge. But
it is not alone the value of the institute
to the farmers in which the citizens OF
Lancaster are interested. The reputa-
ton of the city for liberality and enter
prise is at stake, and this reputation is
to our citizens matter of dollars and
cents some time if not Immediately.
The institute will be an advantage to
our citizens in more ways than one and
they ought not to strive to make the adj.
vantage wholly one-sided. Make the
institute success.
