ADMITS MANY CRIMES
Italian in Jail at Canon City, COL,
confesses Murders to Det I'VE,
Who Used Clever Ruse to Ga lis
Inform alton.

Denver, Jan. 22.-The Republican,
today prints the alleged confession Sc
cured by an Italian detective from
Antoine Nerosi, alias Bavori, charged
with the murder of four Italians, three
men and one woman, at Florence, Col.
The detective is Frank Sandesko, Of
Pueblo, who, according to his story,
gained the confidence of Nerosi, who is
now confined in the county Jail at
Canon City, by pretending that he was
a member of the Black Hand society.
The two were permitted to converse in
a cell in the Jail. During the conversa-
ton Nerosi expressed the desire to be-
long to the Black Hand, and when
Sandesko told him it was necessary for
him to prove that he had committed
twelve murders before he could be ad-
mitted, Nerosi replied he was eligible.
Sandesko stated that Nerosi then re-
lated to him series of murders
which he had committed, beginning
with the killing of neighbor in Italy

narrative gradually brought him to the
recital of details connected with the
disappearance of four Italians at Flor
ence Sandesko says that Nerosi con-
fessed that he killed the woman be-
cause she would not marry him, and
disposed of the three men in the most
brutal fashion because he believed
that they suspected him of numbering
the woman.

Chancellor Issues Warming to
Socialists That Demonstra-
tiOns Must Cease
Unusual Scene Witnessed at Today's
Session of Reichstas Ministers
Leave the House - Armed Men Pa
troll Streets of German Capital in
Order to Prevent Further Disorders.

Berlin, Jan. s2.-Chancellor Won
Buelow refused categorically in the
reichstag today to reply to socialist
Interpolation on the subject of Prus-
sian suffrage. This precipitated dear
ening uproar from the members, DUR
ing which all the ministers left the
house. The debate was then continued
before half empty benches.
Trouble with the people had been ex-
pected, particularly in view OF the
street disorders yesterday, and 1nNor-
der to be prepared for recurrence OF
violent encounters between the police
and populace, the buildings of parlia-
ment We're surrounded from early
morning with strong force OF police,
armed with pistols and sabres. Fur
thermore the principal thoroughfares
Of Berlin are being patrolled constant
ly by the police.
The Interpolation was very Skill
fully Worded in order to bring it with
in the official authority of the reich
stag. Won Buelow opened the pro-
ceedings by warning against further
manifestations, which he declared dld
not affect the government in the slight
est degree. He threatened, amid IRON
ical cheering from the socialists, that
the leaders and organizers of the dem
onstrations would be dealt with Sc
verely.
The chancellor trembled with indis-
nation when he referred to the street
manifestations which he declared had
been introduced into the capital. he
stigmatized them as dangerous to the
country, and looked directly at the So
cialist members when he announced
that the organizers would be held re-
sponsible. He was compelled to pause
for several minutes because of derlslve
laughter from the socialist benches.

guage was used by the members for
Vancouver in the British Columbian
parliament yesterday Discussing the
proposed legislation called to restrict
Japanese emigration, MacGowan de-
clared that the situation was growing
desperate at Vancouver, and that if the
aggression continued, it might be pos
sible that resort to arms might oc-
cur for self preservation. He said the
Japanese of Vancouver were thorough
ly armed, and if steps were not taken
to disarm them Vancouver citizens
would arm themselves. DIR. Mac
Guire suggested that the amount of
$40, 600, 900 held to be due British Col

mored cruisers which could assist in
defending the Pacific seaboard Of
Canada, and urgent steps should be
taken whether Japan opposed or not,
to exclude the Japanese.

DUBUQUE TO STAY
Sustained to Prevent the
ousting of City From Three "l'
Base Ball League.

Rock Island, Ill, Jan. 22.-Judge En-
ery Graves, of the circuit court, today
sustained the main part of the injunc-
ton by which President Holland, Of
the Three II" league, was prevented
last August from ousting Dubuque
from the league.
Graves, held that the Resolution
adopted by the league at Peoria, au-
thorizing Holland to act was illegal,
and the president is therefore restrain
ed from carrying out its terms. Por-
tions of the bill were dissolved to leave
the league open to take such future
action as it may see fit. Another in
junction secured at Dubuque is still in
force, however, and it's terms prevent
action to oust Dubuque.
