VERAzzE CHURCH SACKED
Anti Clerical Riots in Northern Italy
Caused by Alleged Revolving
Practices of Priests.

Turin. Aug The anti-clerical riots
which have broken out in northwestern
Italy are largely a result Of popular eX-
citement following the publication OF GER
tain alleged revolving and immoral prac-
tees of the Selesan fathers at Nerazze.
This exposure was printed in L'AvOrO and
in it pupils of the school maintained by
the fathers described the rites performed
daily. at which they called the black
masses" at which the priests and SIS
tiers were present and which the scholars
say they were forced to attend. The
school has been closed and the pupils
sent to their homes. A crowd sacked
the church at Verazze last night and
stoned the convent of Salesians.
Rome. Aug. 1T is declared in Catho-
lie circles that the revelations regarding
immoral practices on the part OF the
SeIesian fathers at NeraZZe are greatly
exaggerated. They are an Outgrowth u
is said. of stories that were circulated
a year ago when a young priest named
Rertane left the convent; the anti-clericai
papers have based their entire case upon
an isolated incident. and pupils OF the
schools have been melted TO make Ials6
confessions.

Although they have made strenuous eff
forts to find some unsuspectlng citizen
who answers the description and who will
undertake to straighten out the police de-
partment, the American party manag-
ers have. so far. failed to get anybody 80

a willingness to bear the burdens of the
office and draw the salary, but they lack
most of the specifications.
Almost as soon as Sheets resignation
became effective, former Governor George
A. Black was chosen for the sacrifice.
Mayor Thompson didn't care to sound the
givernor himself but had some one Of
his friends do the promoting.
The governor has been one Of the con-
spicUous members of the party, both in
its organization and in his comments on
the administration of the police depart
ment as related to the New hirters Al
though he has not used a megdphOne to
express his sentiments, it was pretty GEN
orally known that the governors views
of that incident did not coincide with the
mayors or Sheets by about mile and
a half. 1t was thought good policy, there
fore to make double shot by unloading
the job onto him and at the same time
stopping the criticism of some members
of the party, who. like himself, were dis
gusted with the whole McWhirter episode.

has never been any event since the civil

Oh First avenue, between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets, is known local
ly, gave up today a fresh crime rival
ing in atrOcity the mysterious butcher
les of last week. The latest discovered
victim was an s-year-old girl, and, like
the two young women murdered, she
had been shockingly mistreated before
death and the body mutilated when life
was extinct.
The three murders are stTikingly sim
liar. Last Thursday night a woman
was strangled in a TWenty-SPCOnd
street boarding house; the next MORN
ing the body Of a still unidentified wO-
man who had been choked to death,
was found in an areaWay in East Nine
tieth street. Katie PTitschler. daugh-
ter of a restaurant waiter, disappeared
d week ago today and was killed that
night. A ribbon placed about the
throat and drawn so tightly that it cut
the flesh, showed how she died. Her
body was found today.
If the brutality of the murders can
be qualified, that of the PritschleT girl
ranks first. She was assaulted, muir
dered and then her lifeless form was
horribly mutilated.
THE graveyard" takes its name from
the proximity of the old Thirteenth

Supreme Court Final Arbiter.

Judge Jenkins points out that the su-
the final judge between state and nation.
Mr.. Jenkins believes the executive of the
state should keep cool maintain his dig
nifty and remember We have to depend
upon the judiciary of the country TO save
the union
Ever since the civil war" he said
other states have had similar troubles
and did not make fools of themselves or
declare war and the questions were de-
cided by the supreme court and no bad
results followed. If all state authorities
are going to usurp functions of the su-
preme court and judge what federal act
shall be nullified, no one can teil where
it will end.
why SHOULD state authorities decide
they shall exercise every power at their
command to prevent such cOnsUmme ton?
This is an unlawful attempt to oppose
lawful efforts.

Will End in BIoodshed.

This talk about state authorities re-
sisting federal power by armed force will
sooner or later end in blOodshed, possibly
in the disruption of the union"
In conclusion, Mr.. Jenkins says the SUI
preme court of the United States may err.
1t may differ with the views of d great
ma jOrity of the people, but. however that
may be, the constitution says its decision
is final and must be regarded as the su-

Better live under a wrong decision

Sea Monster Is Beached.

Seaside, Ore.-The citizens Of Sea-
side We're thrown into a whirlwind of
excitement by the announcement tina.
a sea monster, with horns three feet
long, had been washed up on the
beach near the mouth Of the Necani-
cum river.
Quite a number Of people, among
them g. Brown, travelling for j. D.
Meyer & Co, went down to investigate.
They found something unknown to
biologists. 1t looked something like a
bunch of India rubber, with all kinds of
horns on it. A geologist might have
called 1t a gigantic squid, but it did
not fill the bill. 1t had only one ten
tacle; it had head which would have
taken a No. hat and was without
eyes.
So far as Is known no other speci-
men has ever been washed up from
the depths of old ocean and the citi-
zens Of Seaside are waiting to have it
named. It had fippers like seal, a
horn like an elk, head like turtle
without eyes and the body Of an octo-
pus. Men who looked at it were ready
to admit that they had the jim jams,
and those who did not see it said they
were glad they were alive. Alto
gether it was conceded to be the most
fearful monster ever seen on Clatsop
beach.
