gate the Matter.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 1.-THE Italian Gov
ernment has taken cognizance of re-
cent affray at Erwin, Miss, in which it
is claimed two Italians were lynched and
a third seriously wounded The facts have
been communicated to the Foreign Office
at Rome, and the Italian Embassy here
has made representations to the State
Department. At the same time the ltal-
ian authorities are pursuing an inyesti-
cation of their own through their consul
at New Orleans and their consular agent
at Vicksburg Miss, which is not far
from the scene of the alleged trouble.
Thus far the reports received from
these officials establish two essential
points in what is considered a rather
serious condition of affairs First, it is
reported positively that the Italians were
killed by Iynching, and not through any
accident or chance affray. Second. the
Italian authorities nearest to the scene
of the trouble have established to their
satisfaction that the persons killed are
Italian subjects in the full sense, not hav-
ing taken out naturalization papers.
Thus far the case is in a state of inqui-
ry, both on the part of the State Depart
ment and the Italian authorities, but
there is every indication that the facts
will constitute an international incilent,
similar TO that with Italy growing out
of the killing of Italians in louisiana
The first report of the trouble at Erwin
came in a brief press dispatch four or
five days ago. At that time the Italian
Embassy knew nothing of the affair. The
next day another unofficial dispatch cast
doubt upon the report. and indicated that
there had been no such killing. In the
meantime. however the Italian consular
officers at New Orleans and Vicksburg
made telegraphic reports. and these have
been followed by several additional re-
ports as fast as facts could be ascertain
ed.
The Italian Charge DAffaires. Mr..
Carignani took prompt action in advising
his Government. and in laying the mat
ter before the State Department. The
Department has rendered every assist
ance possible. although this has again dis
closed the difficulties of Federal action
in matter occurring within the juris-
diction of a State. The Governor of
Mississippi. it is reported, will proceed
in person to Erwin, to investigate the
matter.

ONE CENT POSTAGE
Postal Changes That Make
it a Possibility.
Exclusion From Second Glass of Much Matter
on Which the Government Has Lost
Millions.
(By the Associated Press J

Washington, July 17.-APostmaster Cen
eral Smith today signed three orders
amending in important particulars three
postal regulations affecting second class
mail matter. The changes will effect
sweeping and radical reforms in the De-
partmcnt practices and methods of treat
ing this class of matter.
The first order amends section 276,
which is the general definition. so as to
exclude from the second class publica-
tions which have the characteristics of
books.
The second order amends section 2S1
in several particulars, the principal one
being that publications, the subscriptions
to which are not founded on their value
as news or literary journals, and which
by the general use of premiums or other
considerations in the form of chances to
win prices, etc, to induce subscriptions,
in effect circulate at apparently a NOM
inal rate, will be excluded from the sec
ond class.
The third order amends section sol
so that unsold copies of second class
publications may not be returned at the
pound rate to news agents or to publish
ers.
An explanatory statement given out at
the Department regarding the order says:
"The action of Postmaster General
Smith is regarded as highly important.
1t is evidence of the purpose of the De-
partment to administer the law as it is
strictly and properly, and that abuses
wherever found will be eradicated Loose
and Indifferent Interpretation heretofore
is responsible for the loss of many mil
lions to the Government. 1T is believed
that when the effect of the changes is
thoroughly established many postal i'm
provoments will follow. and one cent let
ter postage will be made possible"
