ITALIANS On TRIAL
Louisiana VIII Attempt to Break Up
the Organized Gang That
lnfests the state.

Hahnville, La. July 1.-THE small
village Of Hahnville, consisting Of .
fail, courthouse, one store. river
landing. and a few farm houses, win
become the scene Of Louisiana's most
important criminal trial in q decade.
Although the indictments. which
charge the Italians with murder, call
only tsr ferreting out the man who
kidnapped and strangled Walter La
mana, an S-year-old New Orleans
boy month ago, the real aim is the
suppression Of the italian violence in
this state. 1t 10 hoped not only to
make severe examples. but to learn
how extensive an organization was
behind the plot, which induced ten
persons. one Of them a woman, to
participate in an attempt to get &c.
900 ransom. Owing TO the state Of pub
lie feeling, Governor Blanchard has
secured q special session Of the court
and put the state militia at the dispo-
sitlon Of this parish. although It now
appears very unlikely that any mill
tia will be needed.
The leader Of those to be tried
Monday is Ignacio Campisciano, who
revealed the crime after one OF the
most terrible sweatings imaginable. A

~ Negotiations With China
and Japan.

Washington, July 15.--With the
view Of placing all diplomatic and
consular matters relating to Japan
and China in the hands Of officials "a,
milIar with conditions In the Orient,
the state department has perfected
the organization OF q far eastern
bureau" which will have charge OF
all correspondence and preliminary
treaty negotiations with the. Oriental
governments. This new departure
is more or less In the nature Of an
experiment, which II It proves salts
factory may lead to the organization
Of similar bureaus to conduct dipio-
matte and consular correspondence
and negotiations with the Central and
South American republics, European
and Asiatic countries.
Huntington Wilson, third assistant
secretary Of state, who for a number
of years served as secretary TO the
American legation and embassy at
Toxic, is chief Of the new bureau.
His two assistants are Percival Heint-
zleman Of Pennsylvania, formerly stu
dent Interpreter attached to the Amer
lean legation at Pekin and later vice
and deputy consul general at Dalny,
and william Philips Of Massachusetts
formerly private secretary TO Ann
bassador Choate at London and for
the past two years second secretary
Of the American legation at Pelsin.
Mr.. Phillips arrived from Pekin a
few days ago to enter upon his new
duties in the state department
All of these young diplomats speak
and read the Oriental languages, are
familiar with the domestic politics OF
the far eastern nations and well YER
sed in questions Of diplomacy now
pending between the United States
and the Oriental countries. The pre-
liminary negotiations between this
country and Japan In drafting q new
treaty probably viii be referred to
the far eastern bureau.
Another important duty which VIII
deyolve upon the newly organized bu-
reau will be.to consider the numerous
petitions and diplomatic notes"
which are annually presented to the
state departments suggesting changes
in the existing treaty between the
United States and China.

ODD CASE OF COMBUSTION.
Rose Bushes Shipped in Wet Moss Al
most Burned Up.

A peculiar case of spontaneous com
bustion, or something like it., is de-
scribed by a writer. in Casters Mag
azine.
On February II, 1906, two large re-
frigerator cars of young rosebushes
were received at Hannibal, Mo-, from
a nursery in California. They were
shipped in wooden cases containing
numerous auger holes for ventilation
and were carefully packed with wet
sphagnum, or California swamp moss,
to prevent chatting and to support
their vitality.
No ice was put in the cooling tanks,
and the covers of these, as well as all
other openings in the cars, were
closed as tightly as possible. The
cars were ten days in transit. The out
side temperature was so degrees
Fahrenheit at the start and Is de-
grees at the end of the trip.
Upon arrival steam was issuing
from every crevice of the cars. Upon
removing the tank covers it rushed
out in large volume. The doors were
opened and ice was put in the tanks;
the free circulation of cold air soon
cooled the contents of the cars.
In unloading it was discovered that
some of the upper layers of boxes
were badly damaged by heat, which
naturally was most intense near the
top of the cars. No signs of actual
combustion were found, but this
would probably have occurred in a
short time had not the cars been
quickly cooled.
The temperature must have been
nearly up to the burning point, as
many of the green stems of these
plants were black and brittle.
