Decapitated Body of Child
Found Two Miles in In
terror of Big Swamp.
ALL NEW ORLEANS EXCITED
TWO WOMEN AND THREE MEN
HELD BY POlICE-A PLEDGE
AGAINST VIOLENCE HAS BEEN
MADE BY MANY.

New Orleans, June 24-Two miles in
the interior of big swamp near this
city the headless body of WalteN La
mana. an Italian child between z and
s years old. who was kidnapped and
held for $4,000 ransom two weeks ago
was found by police and vigilants. Sun
day. He had first been strangled to
death, according TO the confession of
one of several Italians held by the po-
lice.
The head was but short distance
from the body Five Italians, two of
them women. are under arrest, charged
with being accomplices to the murder
and extra details of police and depu-
ties are maintaining order in the ex-
cited Italian quarters of the city.
Seldom since the Malta lynchings,
sixteen years ago. has New Orleans
been stirred with threats of violence
as now, and some of these threats are
made by those who participated in the
disorders at that time The law and
order element is much stronger than
it has been heretofore. A large num-
Der of leading citizens of all nationali-
ties and the city's leading commercial

In Some Respects the Session
Of the Indiana Railroad
Commission Will Be Most
important Yet Held.
APPEAL TO THE COURTS
MAY BE THE RESULT.
Intimated That Pennsylvania
Will Not Abide by an Unfav-
orabIe Ruling by Commits
sion---Shippers to Attend.

In some respects Tue sday's session
of the Indiana Railroad Commission,
which will be held in this city with
reference TO the Pennsylvania-C.. c.
a. l.. interchange controversy will be-
one of the most important that has ev-
er been held.
There are few points in the state
where there is shipping of any proper
tions, that the tracks OF competing
railroads are not joined and freight
interchange enjoyed. Under the stat
utes which govern the action of the
railroad commission il would appear
that its province is unquestioned in
such cases as the one which il is now
called on to determine. II is assert
ed that in order To test the full pow
ers of the railroad commission rela-
tive to compelling competing lines OF
railroad to bring about "A freight inter-
change system, there may be an APP
peal made to the courts should the
railroad commission finally order the
Pennsylvania to connect it's tracks
with the c., G. & l..
Arrangements for Tuesdays hear
ing have been completed. The ses-
sions of the commission will be held
in the rooms of the Commercial Club
in the Masonic temple beginning at 10
a. m. Probably one of the first things
the members of the commission will
do will be to pay a visit to the point
where the tracks of the two roads
might be connected Testimony will
be heard during the day from various
Richmond shippers relative to the In
convenience that may have been suf-
fered as result of lack of inter
change facilities.
Shippers viii Attend.
Secretary Edgar NJ Haas OF the
Commercial Club has notified a major
ity of the shippers Of the city to be
present at the hearing and give testi-
mony If they should be asked To do SO.
Most of the shippers have willingly
agreed to attend.
The formal protest of me Pennsyl-
vania to the order of the railroad COM
mission is based on the plea that the
system of interchange asked for is not
justified; that the expense that would
be necessary is too great and that
there is no great necessity for such in
terchangc.
The members of the Indiana rail-
road commission, all of whom VIII be
here. are Union b. Hunt chairman.

will also be here. General Superin-
tendent McCarty, of the Pennsylva-i

er officials of the two roads will be-
present at the hearing.

Ut Is Believed There Are VAR
ious Influences at Work to
( Defeat the End for Which
The City Has Been Working.
BOYCOTT THREATENED
BY VARIOUS BUTCHERS.
Now Said That an Attorney
Has Been Employed at
Washington to Aid in Defeat
Of Plans for Betterment.

Will Richmond lose government in
spection, notwithstanding the fact that
the department af animal industry has
granted this city the coveted prize? is
fhe question which is now being ask
ed 1t is said that if inspection is lost
lit will be largely through the efforts of
the butchers and meat handlers who
state it is said, they will refuse to
butcher at the Holzapfel and Stole
slaughtering establishments if inspec-
tion is placed there. In other words
the butchers would boycott these two
firms simply because these men will
have placed their houses in sanitary
condition approved by the govern
ment. to protect the people of Rich-
mond. 1t is understood that Anton
Stole stands with the butchers and on
several different instances has stated
that under no circumstances could he
be made to stand for inspection. Mr.
Holzapfel has acted differently in the
matter. Since there has arisen a
large cloud over the meat inspection
situation. one said to be caused by the
contrary actions of the butchers of the
city, Mr.. Holzapfel stated that he in
tended to make his slaughtering es-
tablishment meet government rules in
all respects whether he received inspec-
tion or not. He has asked DIR.
Waggoner to tell him all he knows in
the Improvement line that his house
may be placed in superb condition for
a house of it's kind.
Influence of Butchers.
For some time the slaughter house
owners held back in applying for in
.spection for various reasons the
butchers telling them that they could
not get inspection if they truthfully
stated that they did not do an inter-
state business. The house owners
However, applied for the inspection
land it was granted shortly when the
conditions of the cattle.in Wayne coun-
ity were ascertained
Since the butchers we're blocked at
that corner, it is saidNhat they have
itaken up with a 1awyN in Washing
ton and he is working in their behalf
against the inspection and the inter
ests of the people of Richmond The
idea is founded on the number of in
'quiries that have been reaching Rich
mond since the inspection was grant
led. The location of the houses and
lmany little details have been asked
lsince the inspection was officially
granted which makes the authorities
suspicious
1t is becoming common talk that the
butchers are working against inspec-
,tion and are making their stand
!stronger by the threatened boycott of
government inspected slaughter hous-
es. People are loath to believe the
stand which it is reported the butch
ers have taken, and are awaiting de-
velopments. 1t is safe to predict that
il the whole is an absolute certainty.
the city council will take some action
which will make matters move rather
lively.

He Will Draw an Ordinance
That Is Designed to Drive
Interurban Passenger Cars
From Main Street.
DRASTIC MEASURE AS
CITY'S LAST RESORT.
Dayton & Western Company
Has No Franchise Rights
Members of the Council Will
Be Sounded on the Matter.

Steps very probably will be taken
by the city to drive interurban passen-
ger cars off Main street This action
was foreshadowed in an article which
appeared Saturday in the Palladium.
The step will be taken as a drastic
move to compel the Terre Haute, In
dianapolis & Eastern to accept the
terms regarding a franchise agree
ment, recently rendered to the COM
pany by the city.
81 intend to draw up an ordinance
providing against the operation of in
terurban cars hauling passengers on
Main street. I will try to have this
ordinance introduced at the next coun-
Gil meeting, Monday evening, July 1,
and if council will assist me, this or
of business so far as Richmond is con-
cerned,'' stated City Attorney T. J.
Study to Palladium representative.
No Franchise Right.
"The Dayton & Western branch of
the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & East
ern has no franchise right to operate
on Main street from Eighth street to
the eastern city limits continued Mr..
Study "The ordinance / will prepare
will make ii unlawful to operate in
terurban cars on Main street from the
western city limits to the eastern city
limits, not withstanding the fact that
the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & East
ern has franchise right to operate on
Main street from the western city linn
its TO Eighth street.
eff the ordinance is passed by coun-
Gil. it will not be necessary to prevent
T. H. |. & E. cars operating on Main
street from the west as far as Eighth
street, but the city can direct its atten-
ton to cars operating on Main street
from Eighth street east. 1t will GER
tainly be within the city's rights TO
prevent cars operating on that part of
Main street if the ordinance becomes
effective"
Will Sound CouncImen.
Mr.. Study stated that he intended to
sound the councilmen on the proposed
step he intends to take against the
traction company and he thinks that
the councilmen will support him in
this move. Mr.. Study is confident that
if the city takes the action he proposes
it will not take long to bring the trac-
tion company to terms. and that the
company will even swallow the trans
fer clause which seems TO be so obnoX-
ious to them.
Mr. Study, as we'll as the other city
officials. has completely lost patience
with the traction company over the de-
lay. linger and wait policy it has pur-
sued with this city He also shares in
tie opinion that none of the terms Of
fered the company by the city are un-
Just. 1t is certain that if council pass
es the ordinance which Mr.. Study will
prepare. public opinion will stand
tack of the ccuncilmen and support
them in their just fight.

DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS.
Labor Leaders Fear They VIII he Used for
strike Breaking Purposes.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-Certain labor
leaders. judging from reports received
here, are somewhat exercised over the
efforts now making by the Government to
divert. through h division of information,
the stream Of immigration toward States
and localities where settlers are most
needed. They fear that such labor will
take the place Of domestic labor or be used
for strike breaking purposes in case Of
emergency.
Terence v. Powderly. chief Of the division
Of information. and former grand master
workman Of the Knights Of Labor. declared
to-day that the division had been created
to properly distribute immigrants in the
United States. He said that information
bearing on economic conditions was now
being received from every State and Terri
tory in the Union As a result the Gov
eminent would be able TO distribute in
~telligently immigrants admitted to the
United States and supply to States and
cities. AZ acquisitions were made, labor
needed in such places. There was no in
~tention, he declared, to induce the Govern
ment to embark in the strike breaking
business.

ACRITELLI RELIEVES HIMSELF.
On immigration and Crime and the Short
comings Of Gen. Bingham.

Coroner Aoritelli apparently didn't like
the published remarks Of Commissioner
Bingham on immigration In connection with
the recent crimes against women and chill
dren in the city. As soon as he read the
statement Of the Police Commissions he
sent a hurry call for reporters by telephone
from his Bath Beach home. He spoke. he
said. not for the Italians. but az an official
representing the foreign population Of New
York, which he thought should make reply
to Gen. Bingham . statements. He said:
"The statements by Gen. Bingham to-day
were confessions Of his utter incapacity for
his position. After he has obtained all the
laws he ~wanted-even the increase Of salary.
whether IL was needed or not-he says he is
unable to cope with the growing evil Of
crimes against children. 1t Is a confession
of utter inability and stupidity
HE has no reason TO make the assertion
that reflects on the foreigners Of the city and
me them with these crimes. for he has
not a ~scintilla OF evidence sufficient to indict
anv one for them.
The Coroner did not seem TO be able
to stop talking about the shortcomings
Of Gen. Bingham after he got going. nor
did he pause long enough to inform the
listening reporters who appointed him to
speak for the foreigners" In this oity.
One scribe had in mind to call the Italian
Coroner's attention to the fact that there
were plenty Of we'll behaved foreigners OF
other races han his that gave the police
no trouble at all to speak Of. He gave
his opinion unsolicited ON the attempt to
nave the Schramek girl identify her as
ssilsnt from the pictures in the Rogues
Gallery and spoke Of it as the grosseet
%asininity."
OF immigration the Coroner holds it has
made the country. He said that from
personal knowledge gained in study on
several immigration committees he knew
that the restrictive laws were just. eouita-
BILE n well enforced. He declared gen.
erously that he had no spite against Gen.
