FAvA M GOOD STANDING
He Has q Pleasant Interview With Mr..
Gresham.
The Case Of the Italians Killed III
COlOradO-Two Were MATURE
aIixed.

Some surprise has been expressed at the
action of Baron Fava, the Italian ambas-
sador. in communicating directly with the
governor of Colorado respecting the pro-
lection of Italians In that state His course
was somewhat irregular, but the Secretary
of State will take no official notice of the
matter, particularly In view of the ex-
eremely discreet and temperate manner in
which the ambassador has presented his
case to the State Department. Baron Fava
had an interview with Secretary Gresham
today, and was informed that nothing has
occurred to Interfere in the least with
continuance of the extremely cordial rela-
tons that have always existed between
them.
The First Interview.
On the 18th instant Marquis Imperial
called at the Department of State and In
quired whether any official information
had been received as to the killing of GER
tain Italian laborers at Walsen5urg. Col.
of which notice had appeared in the pa
pers of that morning. and was informed
that nothing had been received at the de-
partment on the subject. He stated that
he made this inquiry at the request Of the
italian ambassador. He made no remon-
STRANGE. verbal or written. and no request
other than as above. And the interview
Soon after Baron Fava addressed note
to the department calling attention TO what
had appeared in the papers upon the sub
tect above, and requesting the Secretary OF
State to telegraph to the governor of Col
orado for information. with request for ap-
propriate action by the local authorities
of Colorado. Upon. receipt of this note the
acting secretary did telegraph to the gov
ernor as requested. and thereafter receiv-
ed four kilograms from the governor upon
the subject, copies of which were immedt-
ately sent to the Italian ambassador, hich
were duly acknowledged.
Baron Fava has expressed to the om-
Gals of the State Department his appre-
citation of the active and earnest efforts of
Gov. Mcintyre In the premises.
Two of Them Nnturnlixed.
1t appears that the question as to wheth-
er the Italians killed at Walsenburg, Colo.
were or were not naturalized American
citizens will play an important part in the
settlement of the issue with the Italian
government, Gov. Mcintyre Of Colorado
telegraphed Secretary Gresham from Den
yer today that two OF the 1ynched Italians
had certainly taken out their first and
probably their second naturalization pa
pers, but 1t Is not yet known whether the
man Danino was naturalized. 1t was also
asserted that the two, Italians who had
escaped from the mob in the first attach
not known what has become of these two
men. The governor has already instructed
the judicial officers to prosecute the search
for the perpetrators Of the attack vigor-
cuSly, and when found to endeavor to Sc
cure their conviction.

The finale of the Davis. Hill & Co. sus-
pension came today when the store at los
10th street was closed and what stock was
on hand there was attached under judg-
ment held by F. P. Naylor. There was
very little there except two bags of cow

A boy employed in the store said Mr..
Hill had not been around but once since
yesterday morning and during the day
yesterday he had sold to parties in Center
Market eggs to the value of S33. and to C..

These eggs came in during the last few
days. Hill did not reappear at the store
today.

philanthropically, to advise those who cali

FEAR AMERICAN COMPETITION.

out In England.
LONDON, March 16-The great lockout
of bootmakers. affecting 100000 operatives,
commenced today.
AS previously cabled to the Associated
Press. owing to complicated dispute con-
corning the use of improved machinery and
other matters, the members of the Ma
ticnal Federation of Boot Manufacturers on
March notified the operatives to stop
work today. The employers have refused
to arbitrate the question In dispute. claim
Ing that the operatives did not accept pre-
vious decisions of the arbitrator. One of
the results of this notice was that on the
following day the shoe operatives union
called out all the operatives who were not
obliged to give weeks notice, and ten
thousand operatives left work that day,
The lockout, 1t is expected. will eventual
ly affect about 4OOOOO operatives.
1t has been stated here that it is
question not of fair dealing between capital
and labor, but of whether English boot
and shoe making can be carried on in the
lace OF American competition. In this con-
nection 1t has been stated by the employ
ers that even If the American operatives
get twice the wages paid in England, they
can turn out cheaper shoes, owing to their
more Intelligent use of machinery.
The men locked out today in England
which to see them through the first month
of the lockout. But it is estimated that
the trouble will cost the Leicester dis
trict alone at least S1.OOOUOO in wages.
