who stabbed and killed the famous
zooiogist, Giovanni Rossi of the Uni
versity Of Naples in this city last night,

reports of Lagana's arrest were err
roneous. The police have not yet sue
ceeded in taking him into custody, al
though he has been communicating
with them by letter.
In q communication to the Chief of
Police and certain colleagues of Pro-
lessor Rossi, Lagana declares with un-
concealed rage that on the occasion of
the funeral Of his victim, which is set
for next Tuesday, he will give an even
more disastrous evidence of what he
can do. He writes OF committing fur
Their crimes.

RIVERA TELLS WHY
He WITHDREW

HAVANA, Nov. 1s.-General Luis
Rivera, who last night decided to dis
continue his personal efforts to organ
ize a Conservative party. spoke as fol-
lows TO the Associated Press corre-
spondent tonight:
THE organization Of a party in OPP
position to the Liberals has merely
been deferred, owing to the uncer-
tainty with regard to the course of
the Provisional Government in the mat
ter of holding Cuban elections. AS far
as I have been able to ascertain from
Governor Magoon, the United States
proposes to carry out the pledges made
to the Liberals and hold elections next
June, provided conditions warrant. This
involves the election of only that half
of the members of Congress whose
seats became vacant as a consequence
of declaring the last election void.
Should this programme be carried
out it would result in the placing of
commercial. Industrial and financial in
terests at the mercy OF the radical eIe-
ments. What the Conservatives desire
is the reelection of the entire Con-
gress. Such a referendum would show
clearly what kind OF government the
Cuban people want, and 1 believe it
would result in a Conservative tri-
umph. But if not, we will accept the
result as the will of the people"

TOY LOCOMOTIVE FOR PRINCE.
II Runs With Real Steam on a Real Track
and Is Complete in Every Detail.


BRIDGEPORT. Conn. July 2l.-The first
toy ever manufa ctured in Connecticut for
a crown prince has just been finished and
will be shipped to Bulgaria in a few days.
1t is an exact replica Of the engine that
draws the Twentieth Century Limited on
the New York Central road and it Is going
to Crown Prince Boris. the twelve-year-
old son Of Prince Ferdinand Of Saxe-Coburg,
the ruling head Of the Turkish princi-
pality.
CT. Crane OF Chicago has had the costly
toy made as a present to the young prince
in return for a delightful visit that he
enjoyed at the Bulgarian capital through
the courtesy of the youngsters family.
The little Crown Prince took quite an
interest in the American visitor and was
especially curious about steam engines and
cars, which he had never seen. Finally,
crawling up on his fathers knee, he said
plaintively: I'D rather have a really
locomotive that ran with really steam in 1t
on a really track than all my horses, dogs
and ponies and things
As soon as Mr.. Crane got home he decided
. See If he couldn't surprise his little
Eastern friend by gratifying his childish
Ehim He visited a score Of places In New
York and here without success. At
last Mr.. Crane brought the plans to this city
and made arrangements with expert me-
chanics Of the Eaton, Cole d Burnham Com
Panly, Of which firm he was a member, to
build the toy.
The engine with its track is now ready

made with real steam and the mechanism
