troduced into the capital. He stigma
ttzed the street demonstrations as dan
gerous to the country and he looked
directly at the Socialist members
when he announced that the organ
izers would be held responsible. He
was compelled to pause for several
minutes because of derisive laughter
from the Socialist benches.
Herr Fischer, Socialist, in the
course of speech accused the police
Of UNANIMOUSLY utilizing the services of
detectives, who mixed with the DEM
constructors and led in the cries and
singing, thus creating cause for the
Intervention Of their uniformed COM
rades. Herr Fischer demanded the
same rights for public manifestations
as existed In other European countries
and said that the Socialists were pre-
pared to accept responsibility for the
street demonstrations.
Herr Kreth, Conservative, aroused
an uproarious tumult among the So
cialists when he asserted that the
leaders of that party were most prom
inent by their absence from the
streets during the demonstrations
which they had misled others into un-
dertaking, even advising the partici-
pants to take their wives and children
with them as protection against the
police. When Herr Kreth finished this
statement loud cries were heard
OF "vagabond," "slanderer," "liar,"
"scoundrel" and "hypocrite"

Denver, Jan. 23.-The Republican
prints an alleged confession secured
by an Italian detective from Antoine
Neroni, alias Bavori, charged with the
murder of four Italians, three men and
one woman, at Florence, Colo The
detective is. Frank Sandesko of Pu-

Is now confined in the county Jail at
Canon City by pretending to be
member of the Black Hand society
from Pittsburg. Sandesko states that
Neroni related to him series of
murders he had committed. beginning
with the killing of, neighbor who
had abused him in Italy when he was
but twelve years old. The narrative
gradually brought him to recital of
details connected with the disappear
ance of the four Italians at Florence.
Sandesko says that Neroni confessed
that he killed the woman because she
would not marry him and disposed of
the three men in most brutal fashion
because he believed they suspected
him of numbering the woman It was
his intention, Sandesko says, to kill
the wife and two children of one of
his victims also, but the opportunity
did not afford itself before he was

SAFETY OF PANAMA CANAL

Little Possibility of a Foreign Military
Invasion.
Washington, Jan. pat the hear
ing of the senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals Colonel Goethals gave
assurance that the Panama canal when
completed would be reasonably safe
from military invasion and said that
the chances of the Gripping of the
canal by spies armed with dynamite
will be very small providing armed
guards are maintained at the Mira
flores and Gatun locks. The locks
themselves, Colonel Goethals ex-
planned, are located sufficiently far
from either coast to render them safe
from naval attacks. The Gatun lock
is located several miles from the At

blindly over this distance, in the opin-
ion of the commissions chairman,
would do very little harm. He also re-
marked that ships do not waste am
munition when far from their base of
supplies. In discussing the possible
injury of the locks by spies Colonel
Goethals said it was not possible for
one or two men to carry sufficient
dynamite to do much harm.
In response to questions Colonel
Goethals said that very large ships
would probably be able to pass
through the canal in less than eight
hours. He said there would be plenty
of room for ships to pass, except pos
sibly in Culebra cut, and also that
more than one vessel could occupy a
lock at the same time.

thoro for lunch when the woman ap-
preached the table where Mr.. Brady
sat and fired five shots from revol-
YER into his neck, face and chest.
Drawing another revolver from her
multi the woman quickly fired three
shots into her own body and fell

Want Surveyor Continued.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Represen-
tative Stevenson has received a
petition from settlers on land in
section 157 and 15S, ranges 80 and
80, in the northeast corner of his
district, urging an appropriation for
the continuance of the work of the

continued, it will be year or more
before their land is surveyed, and
they can make formal entry.
Congressman Stevenson took the
matter up with Representative
Tawney, chairman of the appropri-
atoms committee, who said that if
it could be shown that any settler
in the state is delayed, even one
month, in getting his land by reason
of the abolition of the office of sur
veyor general, we would see that an
appropriation, recommended by the
secretary of the interior, was made.
Tawney, however, was inclined to
believe that the recommendation
for the appropriation was made in
order that Surveyor General Warner
and his clerks mi ght hang on to
their jobs for six months or a year
longer.

PLEADS NOVEL DEFENSE.
Prominent Chicago cIubman Sued for
~ Breach of Promise.

y Breach Of Promise.
:. Chicago, Jan. 23.-Adrian G.. Ho-
more, brother of Mrs. Potter Palmer
and a member of Chicagos most ex-
elusive clubs, has announced a novel
defense to the breach of promise suit
for $4,000 brought against him by
Miss Virginia Rowden. Through
dispositions filed in his behalf in the
superior court Mr.. Honore answers
the allegations that he toyed with the
affections of Miss Rowden and then
refused to keep his promise to marry
her by the proposition that a woman
who is an ardent follower of as""free
love- cult and who has penchant for
af1nities would not permit herself to
be tied down by the bonds Of con
ventional married life. s
Miss Rowden has promised to tell
a highly colored story Of her wooing
by Mr.. Honore, in which midnight sup
pers, champagne, furnished fiat and
automobile rides play an important
part. That the evidence of the de-
tense Will be of an equally interesting
nature is shown by several dispositions
filed on behalf of Mr.. sHonore In the
superior court.

HAS AMBITIOUS PLANS ..
FOR RESTOCKING LAKES
Sam F. fullerton, Superintendent Of
Fish: res, Will RepIenish Finny
Tl;be Of Northern Lakes.

Sam y, Fullerton, superintendent
of the state fish hatcheries, has
ambitious plans for the restocking of
the hshed out lakes and streams of
the state. Especially does Mr..
Fullerton's plan apply to the north
ern part of the state.
Pike Lake, near Duluth, has been
partially restocked, but Mr.. Fuller
ton has further plans regarding this
lake. 1t is the ambition of the
superintendent to. bring the fish
hatchery that will be established at
Deerwood up to the same plane of
efficiency as the ones at St. Paul and
Glenwood. With an increased ap-
preparation from the next legislature.
Mr.. Fullerton believes that he can
place the hatchery in the northern
part of the state on good working
basis. The breeding of bass, a fish
which is exceedingly scarce in all
parts of the state, will be taken up
and Mr.. Fullerton believes that
within few years the nimrods will
have some of the finest fishing to be
found in any part of the country.
The work of stocking lakes and
streams that have been thoroughly
fshed out has been progressing with
great rapidity during the past two
years and the coming year will
result in a more material benefit
to this part of the state. The bring
ing in of trout and bass will add
greatly to the attractions offered the
tourists and summer residents and
in the course of time will be the
means of bringing to the northern
part of the state many disciples of
Isaac Walton. Mr.. Fullerton is
enthusiastic regarding the carrying
out of his plans and promises to
increase the amount of black bass
in the northern streams by 80 per
cent within the cext few years.

negroes broke and ran. Shanklin fol-
lowed and at distance of sixty yards

men. One of the negroes dropped
dead in his tracks and the second ran
about seventy yards to colored tene-

Of the twenty prisoners was caught in
bed. The operation lasted for several
hours. The constabulary feared that
II they attempted to make the arrests
in daylight there would be serious
rioting, so they worked under cover
of darkness. They were greatly de-
layed, as they had to travel over
many miles of mountain and bog land
without lights.
The landlords of the Keogh and
Knox estates, in this district, have
refused to sell lands to their tenants
and the latter consequently organized
a mo rent" combination against the
landowners. The latter then sent out
processes for rent to their tenants
and it was the mails bearing these
documents that were interfered with
by the men gathered in.

Anti-Yice Leader Testifies at the
Trial Of Harry 1haw.
LETTERS FROM LATTER READ
Defendant in Murder Case Had Com
planned on Several Occasions of the
Vicious Practices Of Stanford White
and His Friends.

New York, Jan. 23-Anthony Com
stock, vice president of the Society
for the Suppression of Vice, was the
principal witness at the trial of Harry
X. Thaw. He testified that late in
1914 Thaw came to him and COM
planned of vicious practices by STAN
ford White and several. of Whites
friends. During the year that fol-
lowed Thaw wrote to him several
times and was frequent visitor at
the vice society's headquarters.
The letters were read in evidence.
They gave the names of the alleged
victims of White in the famous Twen-
ty.fourth street house and referred to
White as "the BLACKBOARD" The house,
Thaw declared, was "consecrated to
orgies and controlled by six or seven
criminal scoundrels." =.
The letters were new evidence in
the case, but were mentioned at the
last trial when DR.. Evans was telling
what Thaw had said to him of his
efforts to have Stanford White sent
to the penitentiary.

said Thaw at that time, '.but did
want to have him brought to court

District Attorney Jerome devoted
much of his time to calling attention
to the fact that the statements in the
letters were coherent, unders tandable

the witness said came in the usual
way, through the. mails, with postage
fully paid and addressed according to
directions given to Thaw.
Thaw's Mother Recalled.

Mrs. William Thaw, the mother, was
recalled to conclude her testimony be-

Mrs. Thaw told of waking up one

clared, that for more than seven
months she scarcely slept at ALL AS
