VIII Inquire Into the Case.

ROME, Nov. 12.-According to the Tri-
buna, Italy proposes TO make an interna-
tional matter of the arrest in Boston. Mass,
of Mascagni. The Tribuna to-day says: Mas
cagni has telegraphed Premier Zanardeili'
requesting the intervention OF the Italian
government to protect him from the vexa-
tious treatment of which he says he mas
been victim in America. Signor lamar
deli replied to the musician, assuring him
of the interest taken in his case by the gov
eminent and informing him that he would
request the minister of foreign affairs to
take up the matter. Signor Prinetti imme-
diately took up the Mascagni case.
Signor Prinetti is awaiting the receipt
OF a report from the Italian embassy ut
Washington before acting in the affair
United States Ambassador Meyer has not
been asked for an explanation, although
he dined with members Of the Foreign Or
flee last night. The charge of apathy
brought by Mascagni against the Italian
consul at Boston is regarded here as with
out justification and the outcome OF the
musicians ignorance of the fact that an
Italian in the United States Is entirely SUD-
ject to American laws.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, Nov. 12.-President
Stott. of Franklin College, has received a
communication from the faculty of the
Manual Training High School, of Indianap-
oils, in which is emphatically refused ac-
ceptance of the proposition made by the

been made public. Each one of the charges
made by M. L. III. S. was carefully treated
in the report. as were also the published
statements of Professor McCombs The
charge that NJ. 7. H. s. had never received
fair treatment at Franklin was found to
be ungrounded. The only difficulties that
nave peen experienced here were those
or last fall at the football game. when
one OF their "rooters" was arrested by
the city marshal and fined for ''disorderly
conduct, and that of last spring, when,
players attempted Illegally to draw a
throw from the pitcher. He was imme-
diately called out however by a Frank
lin umpire. The charge that the PLAYERS
were not given baths was admitted as
the gymnasium bathrooms have been closed

charges of discourteous treatment were
found to be untrue
The charge of rough playing was treated
at length 1t was found that two of
Franklin's players were guilty of one Of

himself so badly that he cannot play on

play Long John Miller there, but Coach
Best yesterday had Miller in at half back,
and the latters fine showing there looked
as though he would be kept in that posi-
ton 1t developed yesterday that Arnold,

sentative Hall, at the State Capitol, to-

the adoption of the best methods. The far
mers were advised TO provide for the sale

secure what they are justly entitled to,
and to never lose control OF their property,
until IL Is needed for consumption.
The following recommendations in the
line Of national legislation were made: The
extension of free rural mail delivery as
to place IL on a par with the delivery in
cities; postal savings banks; election of
United States senators by the people; a
constitutional amendment giving Congress
power to regulate and control trusts and
other combinations; enlargement OF the
powers of Interstate-commerce Commits
sion; regulation of the use of shoddy; pure
food laws; provision for the extension of
markets for products equally with manu-
featured articles; enactment of an anti
trust law clearly defining what acts on the
part of any corporation would be detrimen-
tai to public welfare; speedy construction
OF the Nicaragua canal by the United
States; speedy construction of a ship canal
connecting the Mississippi river with the
great lakes and the latter with the Atlantic
ocean

speaking of financial affairs i'm the islands,
said, in an interview, that the money mar
ket is continually fiuctuating. "A bill to
afford the necessary relief was presented

think, for the benefit OF commerce, the
matter should again be taken up at the
next session of Congress. 1t has been sug-
gested that Filipino dollar of silver should
be introduced in the islands. This dollar
should be worth actually 80 cents of our gold
money. / think such a coin would remedy
the present financial situation. Such a mon
etary system would be similar to the one
now in use In Japan"
1T has been suggested that a limited
number of Chinese, say 10000. be allowed
to land in the Philippines Do you think
their presence would relieve the present
labor shortage?" was asked.
II would not like TO see the doors thrown
open to the Chinese" he replied. "Skilled
labor. yes, IL limited, would certainly prove
beneficial. Some OF the Chinese are very
clever and they would be able TO teach the
Filipinos many of the industries"

ON JORDAN's BANK.
Curious Ceremony by Russian Pill
grims I'm the Holy Land.

London Telegraph.
The traveller in the Holy Land will wit
ness few sights which will interest him
more than that of the Russian pilgrims at
the annual Epiphany ceremonies on the
banks of the River Jordan. a week before
the festival itself crowds of these Slav
peasants are seen trudging along the Jeri-
cho road with every imaginable kind of
haversack and carry-all on their backs.
Some of the pilgrims are old and weather.
worn, others young and cheerful. while
few, overcome by sleep and fatigue, are ly-
ing prone along the roadside. But some
how the whole lot, young and old, manage
TO reach the banks of the river in good time
for the ceremony.
They spend the night. perhaps. in the
Russian hospice at Jericho, where they
simply huddle together like a flock Of
sheep Before dawn the rooms are empty
and the whole crowd has gathered on the
bank where Greek priests. who will pres
emily drive most lucrative trade, await
them. The principal articles sold are
branches OF trees from various sacred
spots, stones from the Mountain of Temp
tation hard by. plants from the wilderness
and rosaries with olive stones for beads
To whatever religious value Is claimed for
these articles the Russian peasants i'm
plicitly give credence. and they willingly
pay their money TO obtain them.
During the hours Immediately preceding
the ceremony the motley crowd is occupied
in prayer and silent devotion. To many
pilgrims this occasion Is one OF the great
est life can bring. namely. TO be permitted
not only TO visit the Jordan but actually
To battle in its sacred waters Suddenly
chanting is heard. and the crowd quickly
opens 10 let a procession OF purple-clad
ecclesastics pass to the waters. then the
pilgrims close in again, and station them
selves along the banks, eager and watch
full. And now, quite reverenty, a jeweled
cross is laid by the patriarch on the sur
face OF the stream TO bless IL. and no sooner
does the sacred symbol touch the water
than dive Is made into IL by the enthusi-
astic crowd. which splashes and sprays and
Is the baptism, and the longer IL lasts the
greater the merit the pilgrim will enjoy.
All dripping with water each shroud is
now wrung out and slowed away 10 serve
as the cerecloth when the pilgrimage of
life Is over and the body is ready for the
grave. AS the traveller rides away the next
day 20 Jerusalem he will see these childlike
peasants. bedraggled with mud, and IA
tigued by constant sleeplessness, ploddIng
along toward the holy city. chanting and
singing they go. and leaning on their
sticks OF reed. But there is now a smile
on their faces. and JOY in their hearts. for
have they not bathed In the waters OF Jor-
