EFFORT TO COVER UP CRIME.
Dynamite Resorted to In Order to Cover Up
Dastardly Double Murder
and Robbery.

Johnstown, Pa, Feb, 1O.-A bastard
iy attempt to hide robbery and muir
der resulting in the wrecking by
dynamite Of an Italian boarding house
at Portage, this county, early Monday
morning. Two persons are dead, two
injured and score others had mirae-
ulous escapes from death when the
explosive let go. The dead are:
Tony Grillo, aged a..
Mrs. Tony Grillo, aged Al.
Ralph Tellilido and George Desttavo
were seriously injured
The scene of the affair was an Ital-
ian boarding house occupied by Grill
10, his wife, three daughters and about
twenty-five boarders.
When the explosion occurred the in
mates We're hurled in all directions,
but the most of them escaped serious
injury.
The bodies of Grillo and his wife
were found buried beneath the ruins
of the building, which was demol-
ished
The boarders are all employed
about the railroad at Portage They
had no occasion to use dynamite and
none of the explosive was known to
be in the house, yet persons familiar
with its use say that at least twenty
five pounds must have been put off
under the room where Grillo and his
three little girls slept.
1t was stated that Grillo had be-
tween $500 and 500 and his wife $500
more in the house, but none of the
money has yet been found, and the
theory is that it was stolen by some
one who killed the couple and then
exploded the dynamite to cover the
crime.
The coroner's examination dis
closed the fact that GrilIo's head was
crushed as if by some heavy instru-
ment, and his ribs also were crushed.

NEGOTIATIONS DELAYED.
Germany and Italy Cause Another
Hitch in Settlement of Vene-
zuelan Trouble.
BOWEN WILL NOT SIGN THEIR PROTOCOLS
lie objects to Their Demands on
Principle, and Has Informed Ger
man and Italian Ministers that
Their Demands Must lie Modified
Before They VIII he Considered.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Although Mr..
BoWen and the other negotiators are
closely guarding the provisions of the
several protocols, it is understood
that the demands which are known
to exist in German and Italiqn agree
ments, as they are at present drafted,
which Mr. Bowen can not agree 30
concede, are an increased payment by
Venezuela prior to the handing down
of The lIague's decision regarding
the allies contention for preferential
consideration in the settlement of
their claims. 1t is reported that Ger
many asks that she receive, in addi.
ton to the $27,j0O cash that Mr.
Bowen has agreed to pay, a certain
percentage of the customs receipts
until the remainder of the $4,000 de
manded in the original utimatum adj
dressed by Germany to President Cas-.
tro last autumn, is paid.
Italy, il is believed, is insisting on
a similar demand, though the amount
asked for in her ultimatum was more
than $j0O,000. Both Germany and
Italy suggest that this money be paid
in monthly instaIIments out Of the
customs duties, but even under this
arrangement it would require eight
months for the payment of the entire
sum.
MIR. Bowen Is Firm.
1t is the principle, however, to
which Mr.. Bowen so strenuously OBJ
iccts and which he has informed the
German and Italian ENJOYS he can
not subscribe to. Until their pro-
tocols are relieved of these objection
able demands, Mr.. Bowen says they
must remain unsigned. lie contends
that Germany and Italy are insisting
on preferential treatment, a question
which they agree in the protocols
shall go to The Hague.
1t is the firm opinion of both the
Italian ambassador and the German
minister that the insertion in their
protocols of these demands is the re.
suit of a serious misunderstanding on
the part of their foreign Offices of
certain phases of the negotiations
which were supposed to be settled.
They are using every effort to have
this misunderstanding cleared up, and
have informed Mr., Bowen that they
hope to submit their conclusions to
him in a few days.
VIII Not Sign Protocols.
Mr. Bowen has made it plain to the
allies representatives that he is will
ing to consider any reasonable re-
quests they may advance, but that he
will not yield to the extent of sign
ing the present German and Italian
protocols.
Published reports that Germany in
cluded in her protocol demand for
an apology from President Castro or
his resignation, is news to Mr., Bowen,
and of course would not be consid-
cred.

The suggestion for a revision of
the school laws, to make the county
superintendent of education an APP
pointiyc instead Of an elective office,
is meeting with favor, notwith-
standing the fact that it will take
one elective office away from the
people if adopted. The chief argu-
ment advanced in favor of the
amendment is that it will take the
public school system out of politics,
and by having the county 8uperin-
tendents appointed by the State
board Of education, result in the Sc
lection Of better class Of men TO
direct the school affairs in each
county. It is a deplorable fact that
many Of these officials in Mississip-
pi are wholly incapable for the
places they fill, and the remunera-
ton of the Office in most counties is
not sufficient to secure better talent.

A humorous feature Of the politi-
cal campaign comes from Yazoo
county, where the warning has been
sent out to candidates for office that
they must not throw down fences
and ride over growing crops in their
anxiety to reach the voters and So
licit their support.
The warning has thus far as
sumed only the form Of a gentle
hint, but it may become more stren-
uous later on in the year, particu-
larly when the crop Of candidates
becomes full grown and the cam
paign reaches the maximum Of its
heat and spirit. Yazoo county al
ready has more than a score Of as
pirants for county offices, to say
nothing of the numerous persons
who want 10 be justices Of the peace
or constables, and the problem is
really serious one to the farmers.
1t Is related that during the last
campaign one candidate in that
county actually tore down a ten-rail
fence and drove his buggy over a
field Of young corn, completely de-
stroying no less than half an acre
Of the crop, and all in order to reach
the voter before his rival, who was
working the same neighborhood.
