New Orleans, La, Nov. with dele
gates from a large number of commercial,
industrial and agricultural organizations
present, the Four States immigration
League was called to order by President

today. In the absence of Governor Heard
Tom Richardson welcomed the delegates.
A. V Eastman, of Lake Charles, and t.
H. Anderson, of Birmingham responded.
President Thomasson in his annual adj
dress, said the league had proved to be
one of the most effective and beneficial
bodies of it's kind ever organized in the
country. He said it had brought in closer
touch the active and energetic spirits of
many communities in the South and the
world of work in presenting the advant-
ages of the South to home seekers in other
parts of the country. Mr.. Thomasson
said that today the South was receiving
more attention from home seekers than
any other section and that the very best
class OF immigrants were invading the
Southern States. He said the newspa
pers, and the passenger, immigration and
advertising men of the several railroads
in the South have operated enthusiastic
cally and effectively with the league.
The convention will last two days.

The italian Minister Of Finance Takes His
OWn Life.
(By the Associated Press. }

Naples, Italy, Nov. 9.-Minister Of
Finance Rosano committed suicide by
shooting during the night. He was found
dead this morning in his room, a revolver
at his side.
Since the formation of the new Cabinet
the Socialists had attacked Signor Rosano,
charging him with corruption during his
political career.
He left letter to his wife. in which
he said;
II am an honest man and die as an
honest man. but during the last month
such violent storm of accusations has
poured over me that l cannot resist. The
future will render me justice. 1 pardon
my enemies who have injured me SO much.
You also must forgive them.
The principal accusation against Signor
Rosano was that he received $1,000 from
an anarchist Bergamasco to use his III
fluence to have Bergamasco released from
police surveillance, which the minister
succeeded in doing.

Greensboro Will Demonstrate What
She Can Do with Q Big Attraction
Like the State Fair.

The enterprising business men of
Greensboro have carried their plans
far enough along to make it clear that
the state fair during the week of Sep
TENDER 81 is going to be a greater sue
cess even than was experienced last
year In Louisville.
They are already showing that
when Owenshoro bids for . big attrac.
ton success is assured the enterprise,
it matters not what the nature Of II
may be.
This, at least, is the opinion of the
directors Of the state fair, who found
far seeing, determined set of busi-
ness men at Owensboro ready to take
hold of every suggestion and carry il
to a successful conclusion.
The following local committees
have been placed in charge there:
Advisory committee-Dr. j. G.
Hickman, O. W. Bransford, Lee Ray.
Entertainment commIttee-w. G..
Archer, J. W. McCulloch, l.. S. Fred

During August about $4,000 hand
some state fair posters will be hung,
most of them, of course, in Western
Kentucky counties.
Secretary l.. B. Shropshire at the
headquarters in the board of trade
building, Louisville, is daily receiving
