Italian Government Renewing Its
Efforts With United States to
Have Our Statutes Extended to
Protect Its Citizens
REMEDY FOR LYNCHINGS
AND LIKE AFFRAYS
Nothing But State Laws to Apply
in Such Affairs As Happened
at Erwin, Miss, Recently
Italian Ambassador Inter-
viewed
Italian
viewed

Washington, Dec. 25-The Italian gov
eminent has been renewing its efforts of
late with the United States in Washing
ton to have our federal statutes so eX-
tended as to protect foreigners in cases
arising within the jurisdiction of states
thus giving a federal remedy for lynch
ings and like affrays directed against
Italians, such. as have occurred in Louis
lana, Colorado and Mississippi.
It is the exchange of views in this con-
nectiOn which recently brought on the
discussion in the italian Senate when
Baron Fava interpolated the Italian pre-
mier as to the progress of an adjustment.
Immediately on the arrival of the new
ambassador Signor Mayor Des Planches,
he took up this question which had
arisen in connection with the lynching of
several Italian citizens at Erwin, Miss. In
this connection Signor Mayor said today:
Under the treaty which exists between
Italy and the United States, the citizens
of each country are guaranteed the full
est protection while residing in the other
country. In the case of Americans resid-
ing in Italy they had exactly the same
rights the same protection, the same re-
course to the courts, that an Italian sub
ject enjoys.
1.-THE only exception is in connection
with political rights. In the case of Ital-
ians residing in the United states the
treaty assures them the same rights and
protection given to American citizens. But
unfortunately this expression of the
treaty, so far as it relates to Italians in
this country, is somewhat theoretical, for
under the American system which limits
the federal authority over states, the
central government is not able to give
effect to the guarantee laid down by the
treaty.
Since the recent lynchings at Erwin,
Miss, there has been more or less dis
cussion of the payment of a money in
demnity But in the view of the Italian
government the question: of indemnity
does not enter into the case. There has
been no suggestion coming from us much
less a demand for a cash indemnity to
the government. The Italian government
does not seek blood money.
AT the same time the families of the
victims, who are the ones most directly
affected. are naturally willing to listen
to suggestions of a money indemnity, and
when these suggestions are voluntarily
made by the state or federal territories
We can do nothing more than be the
medium for considering them in behalf Of
our people"

CLAIM JESSE JAMES,
THE BANDIT, is LIVING

Denver Col, Dec. 25.-George Thomp-
son, under arrest here for horse steal
ing, is, according to a story that has
gained some circulation here, none 9TH
er than Jesse James. the famous ban
dit and the real victim of Bob Ford s
bullet was. the story goes, the bandits
cousin. Thompson has been in ColOra-
do 20 years and first lived with his
family in the San Luis Valley under the
name of Jack Howard This is in ac-
cord with the testimony given a year
ago in Kansas City by Mrs Jesse
James. She said she lived in southern
Colorado 10 years ago with her hus-
band under the name of Howard
Thompson is a man of great muscu-
lar power and in appearance is said to
resemble Jesse James He has been in
trouble for horse stealing several times
since coming TO Colorado Once when
surrounded by a mob, determined to
lynch him, he cleared a path through
the crowd by swinging a club right
and left and escaped. As Jack Howard
he served 10 years for horse stealing.
The motive for his latest outbreak is
not apparent as he is the owner of a
large herd of better horses than he is
accused of stealing

There is reported to be n heavy de.
mand for hay lands up the E.korn val.
ley. Forty acres near Norfolk was sold
a short time ago for $1,000, chiefly for
its hay yielding value and the farmer
who bought it has to haul the hay eight
miles to market.
Real estate men in that part of the
state are enthusiastic over present con
ditions. They say that settlers are com
ing in in large numbers and taking mp
land. The farmers are increasing their
holdings and men who were working
for hire seven or eight years ago are
now in prosperous circumstances on
farms of their own.
One reason why good hay lands are so
much in demand is said to be that MS the
farmers are finding that it pays to i'm.

taking mor care of the animals. In
stead Of leaving them to shift for them.

providing a supply of winter feed which

In any case, the demand for this sort
Of land is a big factor in the situation,
the heavy buying in the eastern tier of
counties has driven buyers further
west and there they are coming in con-
tact with this other class of buyers and
the result is an increase in prices all
