TO OEPORT
 ITALIAN BANDIT Alfano, Secret Agent of the Roman Society, is Ar rested in Brooklyn-Will Be Given Up.
WAS CAUGHT IN RAID
Member of CamOrra Society Taken in TndergrOnnd Raid in New York on Murder GEarge-Wr0te Threaten ing Letters.

New York, April 22.-Enrique the secret and criminal Camorra Society of Naples, who was ar rested in this city last week during a police raid on the East Side, to- day was turned over to the immi- grafton authorities, by whom he will be deported to Italy.
 Alfano escaped from that coun- try shortly after the mysterious murder of one Cuccolo and his wife, crimes of which Alfano and other workers in the ranks of the Camor- ra are accused.
 Fear of Cuccol's ascendency in power in the Camorra is mentioned as the motive for the murders.
 When Alfano was arrested he was brought into the Tomhs court on the charge of murder. The case went over until today, pending the arrival of legal documents from Italy, but in the meantime the Italian detectives in charge of the arrested party were advised to sub init the case to the immigration of- ticials.
 The presiding judge considered it unlikely that Alfano could be held under a homicide complaint in the absence of documents in evidence from abroad.
 The men who exposed the per sonnel of the society are Charles Salvatore and Jos Ritz of Brown ton. The prosecution of these men began in the early part of last year. when a letter was slipped under , their door ocmanding $500, lest the entire Ritz family desired to be annihilated.
 The district attorney produced his Dill of particulars at the after noon session and the taking of tes- timony was begun Several wit nesses swore they received threaten ing letters demanding as high as $500. and saying that if the money was not paid their homes would he burned

PINE BLUFF TEAM
 AT HOT SPRINGS

Arrangements have been completed for series of four games between the local baseball team and the Pine Bluff team, the first game to be played next Thursday. The Pine Bluff team is much stronger this year than the one last year, and some good games of ball are expected. The Pine Bluff team last year was one of the teams composing the Arkansas-Tex league, and made a good showing in the standing of the teams. They have a good many friends in this city among the fans, and will no doubt hold their own with the local team Hot Springs News.

AND STATE RIGHTS.


 The address of Secretary Root at the first annual meeting of the Amer ican Society of International LaW-a new body that should do much useful educational work-dealt with ques- tion that has fortunately ceased TO bo "burning," but that is still vitallE important from a scientific and consu- futional point of view. IL may be noted as gratifying fact that the ma ioritv of the lawyers and informed writers who have discussed the San Francisco-Japanese school question in fhe best legal periodicals have, ac- cording 10 the Chicago Record, eX- pressed views similar to those which Nr. Root set forth in his address.
 It may at first sight seem startllnS to contend that treaties are para mount not only to state laws but 10 state constitutions. Yet as Secre- tarv Root says, .'it has been settled for more than century that the fact that a treaty provision would inter- fore with or annul the laws Of state as to aliens is no impeachment or the treatv's authority" For the federal Constitution distinctly makes It the dirty of the courts to enforce treaty rights and obligations, anything n the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.
 The nosition which the administra- tion assumed on the late school con troyersy was in some quarters as sailed as another denial of state rights But Mr. Root, with many eminent lawyers in private life' holds that the question of state rights was not really involved for one moment There were doubtful questions of con- struction but there was none of legal mower. The state rights question ln relation to treaties was settled Dy inc Constitution itself. and the Su- nreme Court has never lost sight or that truth. \ treaty IS law or the
 land in every part of the Unlte1 States. and while our machinery TOT the enforcementrof treatiesiis extreme lv imperfect, so that Congress mas been repeatedly asked to enact Iegls- lation curing the vexatious imperfec- tions, the principle itself is beyond reasonable doubt.
 Is there then, no limit to the treatv-makine power of executive and Senate? This does not follow, by any means. though the question has been mt many times with a triumphant ar. 4 limit exists. 1t is found in the fed ] eral Constitution itself. Treaties must be constitutional, the same i as acts of Congress- They must not in other words, violate any provision or necessary implication of the Con stit,1tion. The executive and Senate cannot amend or abolish the Constr tuition. They are bound by it in mak- ing treaties as they are in every other respect This limitation is aii-snffl- cient 10 prevent the imaginary abuses
 that superficial champions Of state
 rights have conjured fp in their eX- citement

WHAT THE WORLD OWES TO
 DREAMERS.

Once when Emerson was m the company of men Of affairs who had been discussing roads, stocks and other business matters for some time he said Gentlemen, now let us discuss real things for awhile.
 emerson was called the dream CT of lreamers, because he had prophetic vision that saw the world that would be, the higher civillza- ton to come. Tens of thousands Of men and women today stand where he stood almost alone. Dreamers in this sense are true prophets. They see the civilization that will be long before it arrives.
 It was such dreamers who saw the great metropolis of Chicago in straggian Indian village, the Omahas. the Kansas Cities, the Denvers. the Salt Lake Cities, the Los Angeles and the San Fran ciscos many years before they ar rived, that made their existence possible.
 It was such dreamers as Mar shall Field, Joseph Letter and Pot ter Palmer who saw in the ashes of the burned Chicago a new and gloritied city, infinitely greater and grander than the old,
 What a picture the dreamer Columbus presented as he went about exposed to continual scoffs and indignities, characterized as an adventurer, the very children taught to regard him as a mad man, pointing to their foreheads as he passed He dreamed of world beyond the seas, and, in spite of un- speakable obstacles, his visions be- came a glorious reality.
 He died neglected beggar; al- though his dreams had enriched the world; while pickle dealer or Seville gave his name to the mighty continent Columbus had discovered. But was this Genoese dreamer failure? Would more than hun- dred million people inhabit this vast wilderness, the greatest con- inent the sun ever shown upon, if this dreamer was a failure?
 Our public parks, our art gal leries, our great institutions are dotted with monuments and statues which the world has built to it's dreamers-men and women who dreamed of better things. better days for the human race.
 Take dreamer ont of the worlds history, and who would care to read it?
 The most of the things which make life worth living, which have emancipated man from drndgery and lifted him above commonness and ugliness-the great amenities of life We owe to our dreamers.
 Our visions do not mock HIS. These are evidences of what is to be, the foreglimpses Of possible realities The castle in the air al- ways precedes the castle on earth Success.

SAYS II |S NOT CHURCH 0F CHRIST Arkansas Presbytery Adopt Report on Standing Of Christian Science by Re quest.
RESPONDS TO REQUEST
Christian Science Founded Upon Err rOr-Received From Doctor P. F. Quimby of Portland, Maine-Re- port of Arkansas Presbytery. .... :.

In response to a request from the Presbyterian church at Searcy, the Presbytery of Arkansas has passed on the standing to be given to Christian Science. \ committee was appointed and returned it's re- port to the Presbytery yesterday, and the report was adopted. By the adoption Of the report the Presbytery of Arkansas declares that the cult called Christian Science is not church of Jesus Christ. The report as adopted fol- lows:
 Your committee on bills and overtures, in reply to the inquiry of the Searcy church touching the cult called Christian Science, and par ticularly asking if it be church Of the Lord Jesus, recommend the following answer:
 'sThe cult called Christian Science is not a church of Jesus Christ, for the following reaauAs:
 ..1. Because it is founded upon error It's founder says: In tn: year 1866 I discovered the Christ science, or divine law of life, and named it Christian Science, and further: No human pen or tongue taught me the science contained in this book C'Science ard Health and neither tongue nor pen can ever overthrow it. This is claim of in- fallibility and independent divine inspiration. Whereas the facts are that this same founder stated again and again in 1867 that she received this science from Dr P. P. Quimby of Portland, Me. (See McClure's for April.)
 "2. Because it does not main tain the Word and Sacraments in their fundamental integrity
 "3 Because it denies the reality of matter.
 A. Because it denies the reality of sin. Sin is only error of mortal mind.
 "3. Because it denies every fundamental tenet of the Christie I faith.
 God is mere principle. Jesus Christ is robbed of His personality. The Holy Spirit is a Divine Science.
 '.It scouts the idea of the vicarious sufferings of Jesus Christ. It says sin cannot be forgiven.
 "6 It is fantastic and dan gerous in it's interpretation of Scripture:
 For examples: The word Adam is from the Hebrew adamah, signi- lying the red color of the ground dust, nothingness. Divide the name Adam into two syllables and it reads, a dam, or obstruction. This suggests the thought of something fluid, of mortal mind in solution. of

I. c. Commission to Consult Bonaparte
About Further Action.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The adjournment
merce commission in this city yesterday
into the Hartman railroad system left the
atmosphere in Wall street surcharged with
talk of legal action by the government The
impression was generally based upon the
attitude taken by the commission and it's
counsel that it had determined to its own
satisfaction that the Southern Pacific

common ownership of parallel and Compel
ing lines.
More than this, it has become fairly we'll
understood in the street that the Hartman
interests, while prepared to fight any suit
that might possibly be begun by the govern
ment for the purpose of making the Union
Pacific divest itself of the ownership of it's
Southern Pacific stock. are also prepared to
devise some means of continuing the re-
lationship Of the properties If such a case
went against them. Various plans have
no definite proposition has materialized as
yet, to the knowledge of the financial COM
munity.
1t was learned yesterday that the COM
mission and its counsel would have an inn
portant conference with Attorney General
Bonaparte In the near future, and 1t is con-
sidered probable that a decision will be
reached at that time as to the legal action
which will follow. The members of the
commission have all gone to Washington,
and Frank B. Kellogg, its senior counsel,
also went there yesterday. c. A. Severance
will be in this city until the first of the
week on personal business Mr.. Severance
