those sent to their death continued TO
carry the arms and ammunition of the
men after they were no longer able to
bear them, and to render in their i'm
passive way such services as deepen the
conviction that, without their assistance,
many of the marines who now survive
would also have perished'
In the case of Lieut. Jay. who also
was acquitted General Chaffee dsap-
proves the finding to the specification
and charge of murder. He said that
Lieut.. Day should have known that his
commanding officer Major Waller, had
for three weeks been under a test for
mental and physical endurance such as
few men are called upon to undergo;
that ne sick with fever, his tenn
perature 105 and his body covered with
painful sores. Day was the only officer
not sick on duty and in the full possess
sion of his faculties, and his plain duty
was to counsel delay in the execution of
the orders to kill the natives. General
Chaffee refers to the order of Major
Waller as tainted and says "that it
should have prompted him day to
positive disobedience of the same"
Notwithstanding the disapproval the
two officers were released, as they could
not be tried twice for the same offense.

few days ago General Chaffee was
cabled an offer of either the command
Of the Department of the East or of the
Department of the Lakes owing to the
retirement of General Brooke.
General Chaffee, in choosing the former
assignment suggested that September 80
would be a good date to make any
change in the command of the Philip
pines. President Roosevelt consulted
with Secretary Root, who directed the
order to be issued relieving General
Chaffee and placing General Davis in
command.
General Macarthur has been asked to
take command of the Department of the
East when General Brooke retires until
he can be relieved by General Chaffee.

A CRASH IN VENICE
The Bell Tower of St. Marks
ColIaped and Fell.
A Few Persons Irjur d, Venetians BemOan De-
slruction Of One Of Oldest Art Treas +,
ures in the Kingdom
(By the Associated Press.)

Venice, Italy, July 1.-THE CaInpanile
detached bell tower) OF St. Marks
church, % metres high, collapsed at
1O:40 this morning and fell with a great
crash into the piazza. 1t is now a heap
of ruins piled to a height of one hundred
feet. In falling it carried away the
SansovinO Loggetta and the library of
the royal palace. There were no IA
talities, but a few persons were injured.
The disaster caused an immense sensa-
tiOn. The town and communical councils
have been summoned to meet this even
ing.
A little before the collapse a noise OF
falling stones within the bell tower
warned the shop keepers, workmen and
tourists of the impending disaster and
all fled for their lives
Venetians were seen in the streets be-
moaning the destruction of one of the
oldest art treasures in the kingdom.
Four of Sansovino's statues of Venetian
mobiles were demolished in the Sansovino
Loggetta, while a beautiful example of q
Paul Ceronese painting was destroyed in
the palace. The wing of an angel from
the top of the bell tower was thrown
down to the front door of the Cathedral,
smashing the Bando column which was
hurled 35 feet, just escaping the column
supporting the south angel of the
Cathedral and thus averting a more seri-
Gus disaster.
The fall of the tower produced a thick
red dust, which spread like a hanging
cloud over the city. This, with the
rumbling noise. startled the inhabitants
of the most remote suburbs. Thousands
of soldiers and police aided in allaying
the panic.
The deputies of Venice have telegraph
ed to the Government at Rome for au-
. thorization to establish a lottery to
raise funds to rebuild the bell tower.

The Osborne Hiatt Case the Rewards That Are
Offered.
Especial to News and Observer.

Greensboro, N. c., July A..
Policeman Jessie Adams and his at
torney, Mr.. E. B. Jones, of Winston,
spent the night here in an effort to Sc
cure from the Oklahoma officers who
came to North Carolina the reward of
fered for the man Osborne, arrested by
Adams in Norfolk, Va.$ on a charge of
murder in Oklahoma. 1t seems that the
Oklahoma authorities got North Caro-
lima and Virginia mixed. and had secured
rendition papers from Governor Aycock
What Officer Adams and his lawyer
were after, however, was the reward Of
fered for the apprehension of Osborne.
He was assured by telegram before he
was ordered by the Oklahoma authori-
ties, "to hold Osborne at all hazards; re-
ward of $3.50 certain" that there would
be no trouble at all about it. Upon this
order the policeman, at great personal
expense, went to Norfolk and secured the
arrest of the accused. When Adams met
The Oklahoma officers, one going to
Winston, the other remaining here, he
was informed that they were not pre-
pared to pay the reward, but would see
TO it after they reached home with the
prisoner. This was not satisfactory, and
an effort is now being made, since the
conference here last night was unpro-
ductiva of results, to induce Governor
Montague, of Virginia, to order the re-
tention Of the prisoner until the guaran-
tee of the Oklahoma authorities has been
fulfilled. While Adams was here last
night one of the officers received the
rendition papers from Governor Monta-
que. it is learned, and took the II o'clock
train for Norfolk. Policeman Adams
this morning before leaving for Winston
sent kilograms to his attorneys in Nor
folk to resist with all legal means in
their power the delivery of the prisoner
until the stipulated reward was paid.
There is an impression that an attempt
is being made to "hoodoo'' the Tar Heel
officer out of his reward
