AMBASSADOR VISITS SEC. ROOT

Washington. Dec 2J.-The Italian
government, through its ambassador,
called to the attention OF the depart
ment of state today the various al
legged outrages against Italian eiti-
zens in this country, the latest OF
which is the burning by the might
riders" of Kentucky of a lot OF Tah
ian owned tobacco in Hopkinsville.
Secretary Root heard at length
what the Italian ambassador had to
say on the personal injury cases
which have originated In Louisiana,
Mississippi and Florida and the Ken
lucky tobacco case.
The burning of the tobacco, If II
be shown to have been the property
of subjects of the Italian government
Is a mere matter Of indemnity. In
all these issues, however, it was ex-
planned to the ambassador that the
United States must deal first with
the states which have original juris-
diction. The state department has
therefore asked the governors of
the states named to report progress.
The principle In similar matters has
often been explained TO the Italian
government. the last occasion being
that of the lynching Of Italians when
Baron Fava was the Italian anbas-
sador here.
