ERRICo TRIAL.
An Uncle of the Accused Was on
 Stand Greater Part of the Day.

Stand Greater Part of the Day.
 The trial of Joseph Errico for the murder of his cousin Pasquale Ira ficanti in Naugatuck, September is prigressing tediously in the superior court before Judge Case and a jury. Marci or Michael Errico, uncle of the accused was on the stand the greater part of to-day. His testimony was to the effect that Rocco Traican- il and the accused had had quarrel about two months before the date of the shooting over bottle of wine. Traficanti, in a spirit of bravado took up Errico's bottle of wine and helped himself to it. Vito Spadola remon- strated with him, but Traficanti to show he was not afraid of Errico took another drink out of the bottle. All this irritated Erico and the men part cd bad friends.
 On the Saturday before the shoot ing Errico and the Traficantis stopped work at noon and, 1t seems they had been drinking Italian wine from that time until the shooting began, and playing cards incidentally.
 Then pomenico Ricci came upon the scene with his pipe which he could not light and called Carmelio Manini names. Rosa Carmello's sis- ter overheard him and tried to shoot him. Then the men who had been playing cards and drinking interfercd and the fatal shooting. resulting in the death of two men began.

EmpIoyss of American Express Co Get a Ten Per Cent Increase By
 Vote Of Board of Directors
10000 EMPL0YEs AFFECTED

New York, Nov 13.-The wages of the employees of the American FIX press company who are paid less than $20O a month were increased 10 per cent beginning to-day. The an. nouncement of the increase was made at the office of the company. The in- crease was authorized by vote of the directors yesterday.
 An official of the company said to- day that the resolution passed by the board of directors provided that the increased wages should be paid to all employees who had been in the service of the company for more than a year, whose wages had not been increased within twelve months and who were not already paid $20O month.
 The increase, the officer said, Gf- fects 5000 to 12,O00 men throughout the country, the bulk of the rank and file of the employees outside of what are called the officials. It will cost the company about $60O,000 to $7OO,- 0CO year u pay the increased wages.

Created Great Commotion.

Paris, Nov 15.-The statement of Minister of Public Works Briand in the chamber of deputies November 13 that the diocesan associations formed under the auspices of Car dinal Lecot, archbishop of Bordeaux, were legal within the meaning of the law, has produced great commotion in Catholic circles and the cardinal explains tha these associations were formed under the law of 1901, and were not meant to comply with the provisions of the law providing for the separation fchurch and state.
 The cardinal has also telegraphed to the pope that M. Briand's inter- pretation of his action was a mon strous error.''
 In the meantime the League of French Catholics," which the ortho- dox denounce as an organization ere ated for the purpose of taking pos session of the property of the church. is rapidly pushing the formation of associations before December II. Over seventy associations have al- ready been formed and thirty-seven more are being organized.

SOLDIERS AND CITlzENS
All 0utin aD Effort to CiDtIIs NegIo Convict Who Escaped From
 State Prison
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN TOWN

Thomaston, Me, Nov 15.-Both sides of the Kennebec river at Bath and Woolwich presented the appear ance of being under martial law to- day. because of the energetic efforts which are being made to effect the capture of Minot St Clair Francis, the negro convict, who escaped from the state prison in this town Monday night. Stretched out in picket for. nation at both places were details Of Company c, Second regiment. Maine militia, the members of which were summoned to their armories by a general military alarm, shortly af. ter l o'clock this morning. The mill. tiamen were sent from the armory In small details and their rifles were loaded with bullets, the orders issued to them being to capture Francis dead or alive
 Thus far the negro has succeeded in eluding his pursuers at every turn. and despite the well laid plans of the officials who are following him. they have been unable to either get him in corner or to definitely locate him in any particular spot.

MADE A FAILURE OF IT.
Contractors Who Make Money and
 Some Who Do Not.

Some make fortunes in the con- tracting business and others drop fortunes at it. It is so in everything else men turn their hand to. Water- bury has had many examples of this, but probably Frank Pigeon is the most striking example of it that To- cal men know of. When MT Pidgeon came here few years ago he had lots of money and didn't seem to be afraid of anything. He made things pay for time, but somehow he kept going backward and finally he prac- tically went to the wall altogether. MT Pidgeon is native of Saugerties, N. Y., and before he ever engaged in the contracting business he was not only rich. but wealthy. He also mar ried an immensely rich girl and both of their possessions combined made up pile that one would think could not be disposed of in a lifetime. Mir Pidgeon didn't go into contracting as matter of necessity, but simply because he liked it and he kept ven- turing until he dropped about all he had. Those who know him intimate " for he is plucky fellow and SO far as is known here very honest man. He played in hard luck. Take, for example. that state road contract on the Middlebury road where $1.000 of his money Is held up. Engineer Cairns and all the other city officials think he did a good job there and be- lieve that he should have been paid on long ago. but Highway Commis- sioner Macdonald. whose approval must be had before the bill can be paid. persists that there are some odds and ends that should be finished up before the contractor gets his final estimate, and there you are. Mir P'dgeon has several such cases in different parts of the country and 1t does not take a lot of them to tie up a fortune and this is the real reason why Frank Pideeon is not as we'll on to-day as he was when he first struck Waterbury.

WILL NOT STOP THE cLANsNlAN.
Pennsylvania Mayors Djscredit Politi-
 cal Action of Mayor Weaver.

The agitation of members of the colored race to suppress "The Clans man" has lifted that play into a na- tional prominence equalled only by Uncle Toms Cabin" Out of 490 cities and towns in the United States in which "The Clansman" has been produced, the negroes have only suc- ceeded in stopping it in five places. and in every one of these instances their success has been traced to politi- cal origin. All of the leading publi- cations in the country. including such conservative organs as The Literary Digest. appear to agree in the verdict that Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia was playing to politics when he issued the order suppressing the play in that city. This belief. is shared by mayors of other Pennsylvania cities who have refused to follow Mayor Viewers example. The latest execu- tive who declined to be influenced by political considerations is the mayor of Easton. Pa, where "The Clansman" was booked to appear on November q. In an address to the protesting negroes Easton's chief ex- ecutive states:
 ''I fear you gentlemen are Iaboring under false ideas regarding The Clansman' as being an instigator of race feeling or as having been con- structed to create breach of fellow ship between us.
 Every drama must have Its char acters of evil minds and low purpose whom the audience will naturally look down upon.
 Take as an example 'Shyiock.' In this. Shakespeare selected a Jew as a foil for evil dolngs, yet never heard of the Jews protesting at its production. Look at Faust I never heard of a protest from any religious organization.
 Tt appears ridiculous to me to think that gentlemen of your fntelli- gence can believe that because our people here in Easton will sec a play in which some of the bad characters are selected from your race. that you really believe that the audience will leave this tkeater and carry with them a less feeling of respect for yol-
 Tho Clsnsman' has been y-o- duced for more than year and never met with any particular comment ss a race agitstor until the recent Phiia- deiphIa instance. which was some what of political significance. You have possibly been misied by some newspaper articles that lack fuforma- ton"
