ANTI-CLERICAL PARADE
Fifteen Thousand Garibaldians of
Rome Express Their Sympathy
with France.

Rome, Feb. 19.-Fifteen thousand
persons, among them $50 red shirted
Garibaldians, with 40 flags and TWEEN
ty bands of music, participated in an
anti-clerical demonstration il favor of
France. The procession crossed the
city and went to the monument Of
Giordano Bruno, the Italian philoso-
pher who was burned at the stake by
order of the inquisition, where thrifty
wTeaths were deposited.
Afterwards the marchers went to
the capital and, despite their being pro
hibited doing so, entered the balcony
of Michael Angelo, overlooking the
hill and planted the red republican
flag, and amid enthusiastic cheering
republican and socialist deputies de-
livered violent anti-clerical speeches.
The government took energetic meas
ures to avoid trouble. The whole gar
rison was under arms and all the
streets leading to the Vatican were
barred by troops. Similar manifesto
tons took place in all the leading Ital.
ian towns.

AUTO MYSTERY CLEARED UP
tot William DreSer on the Gath
of Last July.


Kenosha, Wis, Feb. 1S.-After five
months the mystery surrounding the
killing of William Dreyer on a lonely
road north of Kenosha on the night
of July "A was solved and the solution
is the sensation of KenOsha, as it re-
suited in the arrest of Edward Collier,
the former bicycle racer and later an
automobile expert, on a charge of
manslaughter. Collier gave bond for
$1,000 for his appearance.
The old man, who is thought to
have been a resident of st. Charles
H., was crushed under the wheels of
an automobile, and his killing was one
of the most heartless crimes ever
charged against the drivers of motor
cars. The solution of the automobile
mystery came during the afternoon,
when Frank L. JACKSON, a son Of the
late Johnson A. Jackson, and one of
the most prominent young men of
Kenosha. and Shelley Montgomery, a
son of f. w. Montgomery, a wealthy
lumberman of Galena. H., went on
the stand and told the whole story
