INTERNATIONAL
COMPLICATIONS
May Follow the Arrest of an
Italian.
Italian Consul at Cincinnati May
be Appealed to by Fellow
Countrymen.

Because Baporetta Labastiano, an
Italian. was sent to jaail for carrying
concealed weapons yesterday, the
Italians OF the city threaten to take
the matter up with the Italian consul
at Cincinnati and TO secure his re-
lease, II 1t is necessary to make IL
an international affair.
Labastiano was arrested Wednesday
by w. II. Bingham, an Erie detect
i've, who filed an affidavit against him
In Justice Gompf's court, charging
him with carrying concealed weap-
ons. He had knife In his pocket
when arrested. The officer states that
he first took him into custody for
lettering.
In Justice Gompfs court, the pris-
oner pleaded guilty and was sent
enced to pay fine of $40 and costs
to be confined in the county jail until
the fine and costs are paid.
Tony Matraja, the italian interpret
er states that Labastiano could not
plead guilty because he does not
speak a word of English. He says
that his fellow countrymen did not
know anything OF the procedure OF
the courts of this country and that
he was 'railroaded' to jail. MatraJa
states that the matter Will be TAX

once the authorities had no right 10
ask the defendant to plead without
the assistance of an Interpreter.
The justice denies the charges made
by Matraja and claims that LaDa-
tiano understood all that was asked
him. He says that he could have
had an interpreter II he desired one
but that he could understand English
and did not need one.

The practice has been under way

San Diego is about $40 miles and has
been made in 27 hours by many OF

STEPPED
ON The CAT
Man Who was Out Late is
Now Laid Up for
Repairs.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 25. Fran
els Carnahan, of North Braddock, Is
in the hospital, and the family cat,
which Is responsible for his being
there, is in disgrace, although un-
injured.
Mr.. Carnahan was out late In the
evening, and when he came home
about midnight, he decided he could
slip into bed without turning on the
lights. He took off his shoes in the
hall and started upstairs on tip-toe.
On the top stair was the cat. She
heard Carnahan coming, and stffened
her tail like rolllngpin, believing
that Carnahan would shy to the port
side. But Carnahan did not see her
and stepped on her amidships.
There was an awful chorus OF
howls from the cat and screams from
Carnahan, as both tumbled down the
stairs together. The excitement
aroused the household, and Mr.. Car
nahan was found to be SO badly in
jured that he was taken TO a hos
pital, where he will be confirmed for
several days.
The cat was found under the kitch-
en- stove purring softly.
