AND PARTY LEADER IS ASSURED
PAST SERVICES WILL NOT BE

The interview with the vice president
was very satisfactory. He informed

time to the national organization lat
er in the campaign. We would like
to have the vice president make a num-
ber of speeches in different parts of

WHATEVER IT IS
PAYL|A SAID It
Interpreter in Italian Case
Stalled by Lack of Eng
Iish Cuss Word.
MEN SHOW MUCH HATRED.
PRINCIPALS IN STABBING FRAY
GLARE AT EACH OTHER DURING
TRIAL BUT SPECTATORS FIND
HUMoR IN RECITAL.

Cologero Mercurio, official court in
terpreter in the Paylia-Rrigo cutting
case now being heard in the circuit
court, was greatly non-plused this
morning. Rrigo, who Paylia attempt
ed to whittle into shavings, sat in his
invalid chair and gave his testimony
to Mercurio. who, in turn, translated
it to the jury. When Rrigo got to
the point where Paylia jumped upon
him and began carving slices in his
anatomy, Mercurio began to assume
the annoyed expression. When the
torrent of Italian language ceased
flowing from the lips of the witness,
Mercurio turned to the prosecutor.
"Rrigo, he says, that before Paylia
knitted him he demanded ten cents
for reading one of Rrigo's letters to
him. Rrigo, he says. told him he
would not pay, then Paylia cursed
him 1 don't know how to tell you
what that swear word means in Eng
lish. That Italian cuss word is "--'
here Mercurio pronounced an unspel-
liable word which brought beads of
perspiration to the brow of Court Re-
porter Curme.
"The best that I can explain that
word continued Mercurio ''is 1t
means you are a son-of-a-gun and
your mother is dead When one Ital-
ian man he says to another Italian
man your mother is dead that is
about the worst way he can insult his
enemy"
When Mercurio had finished, every
one in the court room roared with
laughter-that is, all did but Rrigo
and Paylia. They continued to glare
at each other the unspoken language
of hate. Paylia sat close to Rrigo all
the time the latter was in the witness
chair and drank in every statement
his enemy made to Mercurio.
Up to noon the state had not con.
cluded its case. which drags monoton.
ously because of the time it takes to
have questions and answers interpret,
ed Mercurio has proved himself to
be an excellent interpreter and not
once has his interpretations of the
testimony Of witness been question
ed by the interpreter employed by
the defense. 1t is expected the de-
fense will take up its case this after
noon. 1t is hardly probable the case
will be concluded before Tuesday
there being no court Monday. Labor
Day.

Detroit House of correction which
for years has bee ma profitable mu-
nicipal institution. cleared last year
$4,000, which will be turned into
the treasury of the city, The pris-
on had about $50 prisoners all

ployed principally in the making of
chairs and the women in making
and earding buttons.
Supt. Mcdowell. in making his
annual report attributed the reduc-
tion of about 40 in the average num-
ber of prisoners through the year

mand for labor, steady work keepi-
ing many men out of the dependent
