Striking Italians Ask for
Protection.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Armed guards are
protecting the powder house and dynamite
cave Of the contractors at the Muscoota
dam, in Westchester county. Armed
Italian strikers, who in the last week have
attacked men at work several times, and
been routed by deputy sheriff's posse, are
still hiding in the heighboring hills
Deputy Sheriff w. ]. Doyle of Westchester
county says he believes he has quelled
the disposition to riot on the part of the
striking quarrymen at the dam, which is
on the Croton river, about two and half
miles from Katonah. He admits, however,
that the twenty or more armed Italians
who have taken to the hills, and are still
prowling in the vicinity, constitute a
menace to the public peace of unknown
proportions.
The superintendent and foreman OF the
builders of the dam, being fearful OF an
attack on the powder house near the works
or on the dynamite cave in the side OF
Muscoota mountain, requested protection
for these places, and at their solicitation
a special guard has been placed at each,

THEY CALL 1T A SCANDAL
some of the Bishops of the Church
Greatly Outraged Because of
Vanderbilt wedding.

LONDON. April 2s.-At today's session
OF the London diocesan conference the
bishop OF London, the Right Rev. Aruthr
e. Ingram, received a letter from the rep
resentatives of the clergy Of the diocese
drawing attention to the Vanderbilt Ruther-
furd wedding and requesting him to make
such reference during the conference "to
this scandalous and deplorable incident as
shall serve to allay to some extent the dis
tress of the clergy, who feel keenly this in
frlngement of the marriage law in the do
cese, and which may also lead others to
realize how serious a breach of church dis
cipline is involved in such a proceeding"
The bishop said he need hardly say that
even without this letter the matter would
have been Investigated. He had seen the
chancellor of the diocese, who contended
that he was obliged by law to issue a
license to divorced persons IL any clergy
man could be found to marry them, as in
this case; that the latter was the guilty
party; that the chancellor was entirely in
dependent of the bishops and that the IL
cense went out in the chancellor's name
and not in the bishops.
The bishop Of London added that he had
already summoned Rev. Mr.. Haddon, who
performed the ceremony, and after seeing
him he would give his opinion of the whole
matter.

After refusing to answer the inter-

continue the discussion OF the interpella-
tion.
Count Won Limburg- stirrum said the
present treaties were against the interests

minutive concessions, while Germany gave
much more.
The Reichstag had given the government
a tariff law with which it can negotiate.
1t was very naive to wait until other coun-
tries denounced their treaties with Ger
many. The latter paid compliments to
America, but all who knew the Americans,
he said, were aware that compliments did
not make any impression upon them, but
only induced them to make greater de-
mands.
The speaker regretted that the govern

WILL USE HIS OWN CARRIAGE
When Emperor william Calls on
Pope He VIII Leave ItaIy's
King Behind.

BERLIN, April pa train load of EN-
peror Williams horses and equipage left
here for Rome today, so that the emperor.
when calling on the pope. need not use a
carriage of King Victor Emmanuel. whose
livery has not yet been seen inside the
papal precincts.
AS the emperor had to send one royal
vehicle. he concluded TO send two, with
eight coach horses, three saddle horses and
twenty coachmen, grooms and hostlers
The story that the empress is not going
to Rome with his majesty because she Is
not willing to call on the pope, on account
OF her strong Protestant beliefs, Is consid-
cred TO be Of sufficient importance ofhcialIy
as to require an authoritative denial which
cites the fact that the empress called on the
pope during her former visit to Rome and
that her injured arm is really the cause Of
her staying home.

The first Settlers.

The first settler has made his
appearance on the land set aside
in Nevada by Uncle Sam to
come under the national irriga-
ton scheme. He has chosen for
his farm to-be a piece of land be
tween Wadsworth and the canal
site. He believes it will be No. l
land for alfalfa.
The first settlers name is Rob
ert Graham; he halls from Du-
luth, Mimi. and he has come to
stay. He brought with hin a
wife, a young daughter, and a
mother. He has span OF
horses, has lumber here ready to
haul and in sufficient quantity to
build a rather pretentious house.
Among the first purchases
bv him was a ton and a halt OF
hav from a rancher. Other sup
plies have been bought from To-
cal merchants. Every settler
coming in will have to buy hay,
grain and vegetables and sup
plies from the merchants.
What can the man do who set
ties on this land now? He can
file under the homestead law on
100 acres, but the filing is sub
iect to the ruling OF the Interior
Department and it is likely he
will be allowed only 80 acres.
He can put his house on the
land he files upon. If he has a
horse he can have work for HIM
self and his horse from the con-
tractors who are building the
big canal. If he is steady, he
can have steady work, and when
the canal is completed he can
have enough money to clear his
land of sagebrush, fence it and
plant part of it. H..

and having faith in Nevada's IT.

Newspaper Failures.

1t has been ascertained on the

be reliable statistics that more
newspapers have failed in the
United States during the past
ten years than are now pub
lished in the same territory. OF
course the chief number of fail
ures has been among newly en-
barked enterprises. Of these,
only one in twenty has survived.
The outsider usually thinks he
can conduct newspaper much
better than the editor and it is
this fatuous belief that leads to
so many new enterprises in the
newspaper field. The job looks
easy and attractive and alluring
and the novice is firmly con-
vinced that all he needs is a
press and some type and he will

The expense of the undertak-

hazardous voyage is well under

think of nothing else than the

thing like $4,000, 900 to put the
