and Ammunition Captured
Several Executed

Port Au Prince, Haiti, March IL
The Haitien governments activity In
summarily dealing with number Of al
legged conspirators in a threatened up
rising, has had the effect of causing
anxiety in the hearts of many, for it
is not known where the next blow may
fall. or how far reaching the revolu-
tionary trouble may be-
Outwardly, Port Au Prince is calm,
and. following the execution on Sunday
of ten or eleven men alleged to have
been implicated In the plot, President
Nord Alexis has issued a proclama-
ton to the people. in which he con-
graduates them on their calm attitude
under the present trying conditions,
and gives reassurances to the commu-
nifty, promising that order and the Sc
curity of the government will be main
tanned
The statement is made officially that
the government having come into pos
session OF proofs that General Antenor
Firmin, the leader of the late unsuc-
cessful revolutionary movement, who
Is now refugee in the French con
ouidtc az bOhdiNCot hao ieohiAeo1
through correspondence, new insur-
rection in Port Au Prince, decided up
on the arrest of the principal con-
spirators. This uprising, the state
ment continues, had as its object the
overthrow OF the government and the
assassination of the president. and it
was discovered through the intercept
ton of letters sent by General Firmin
to a number of his adherents and
others in an attempt to enlist them in
the new movement.
The conspirators were taken by sur
prise, with arms and ammunition in
their possession and were executed
forthwith. The chief conspirator,
Massillon Coicou, before he was exc
cuted, gave the names Of several mill
tary officers who, he declared, were
implicated In the plot. These men
have been placed under arrest. and
will be given trial, 1t is stated, be-
fore a regular court.

NEW DEVICE FOR AUTO DRIVERS
Silver Tones Of Trumpet Used to
Make Pedestrians Jump.

The salesman displayed a silver
horn similar to trumpet--a silver
trumpet with three stops.
In automobilism this IL now the
only thing" he said. The weird siren
wall, the gruff honk-honk. the shrill
whistle, all have been superseded by
the silver note OF this trumpet which
you blow yourself"
He put 1t to his lips and blew q
reveille.
"You must blow II yourself" he
said. THE instrument is not to be
worked with a rubber ball 1t must
be put to the lips.
Something like coaching, Ell?
Only, in coaching 1t is the groom who
blows the horn, but in automobiline
the owner blows it.. taking great pride
In his skill.
"All over France, as the great shin
ing cars rush along, you hear brief
snatches of beautiful musical phrases
and you see. beside the chauffeur. a
proud young man In sable coat, play
ing his trumpet with passionate alb
sorption.
Sometimes II Is girl who handles
the trumpet. That is indeed a pretty
thing to sea rosy, yellow-haired
girl, let us say, in lustrous black seal
skin, holding the trumpet to her red
lips, and giving you, as she goes play
ing by. roguish glance out Of hei

ROOM FILLED WITH SKELETONS,
Grewsome Discovery Made In an An
cient Monastery at Csrlentini.

For nearly 3S years the monastery
1t Carlentini, Italy, has been aban-
doned, although the chapel connected
with 1t has remained open for public
worship. Behind the sacristy is a
door which has always been shut and
was believed to lead into one OF the
rooms of the monastery. The other
day the syndc decided to make use
of this room, so he had some workmen
open the door A terrifying spectacle
met their gaze for the room was piled
full Of human skeletons, reaching al
most to the ceiling. The syndic or.
were more or less mummified bodies,
to be taken out and buried in the
Campo Santo. They numbered few
over 1000.
Naturally, tremendous sensation
was caused by these discoveries, and
the widest conjectures given voice
to. According, however, to the Oldest
inhabitant OF Carlentini. the facts are
as follows: When monks inhabited
the monastery, certain sum was paid
them for the privilege of sculpture in
the church. The church, however, was
small, and when there was no room
for any more corpses, the monks, rath
er thar lose an important source oil
income, continued TO receive bodies
for burial, but instead Of depositing
them beneath the floor of the church
cast them into the rooms behind the
sacristy, or into the pavilions close by
where they have just been discovered

GAMBLING BILLS
OPPOSITION HAS
FADED AWAY
Collapse Creates Considerable
Curiosity at Albany
NO FINAL VOTE THIS WEEK
Test May Be Had In Senate Over
Effort to Restore Legislation to
Original Form.

Albany. March 1.-THE sudden and
apparently complete collapse of the
hitherto seemingly irreconcilable op-
position to the anti race track gam
bling bills is the most striking feature
Of the situation in the Legislature at
the opening Of what was expected to be
week Of bitter struggle over the
bills. Senator Agnew and other
friends of the anti gambling legisIa-
ton In both houses have expressed
themselves as somewhat puzzled by
the apparently complete surrender OF
the race track interests and solicitous
lest 1t might presage some flank attack
from an unexpected quarter.
1t seems unlikely now that any OF
the bills will be reached on final pass
age in either house this week. Some
thing In the nature Of test vote may
however, take place In the Senate over
an effort to restore the legislation to
its original form by striking out the
amendment deferring the taking effect
of the bills until September first; or In
the Assembly when any attempt Is
made to advance the bills from second
to third reading.

Barre, March 16.-The prospects of
an early settlement of the granite
strike are not so bright tonight. At
the special meeting of the Quarry Wor-
kers' Union of Graniteville today, the
latest proposition from the quarry own

claim was put forward that action
could not be taken at this meeting and
without any action the matter went

The proposition submitted today by
the quarry owners was that the men
must work AS hours week before any
overtime pay could be allowed
The cutters did not hold a meeting
today as expected because they had no
definite proposition to consider.
The same committees from the cat.
ters and manufacturers that we've in
session until midnight Saturday met
again this afternoon. Progress was re
ported but nothing definite was given
out.

Washington, March 1.-THE pro

$4,000 by the United States Circuit
Court for the western district of Mis-
souri, on the charge OF receiving re-
bates, contrary to the provisions OF
the Elkins act, has been decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States
adversely to those companies.
The courts opinion was announced
by Justice Day, who held that the
Elkins act is applicable to transpor-
tation anywhere and that an offense
is not confined to the initial point.
He also held it applicable alike to
shipper and carrier
The decision of the lower courts In
the complementary case against the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail
road company, holding that company
responsible for granting the rebates
to the packers and filming that com
pany for the offense, also was affirmed.
Justice Brewer dissented from the
view OF the court on the ground that
the decision would work violation
of contract, which. he says, shocks
his sense of Justice.
The chief justice and Justice Peck
ham concurred in Justice Brewer
decision Justice Brewer held the
Missouri court to be without jurisdio
ton.
The validity ofthe Elkins law was
attacked and it also was contended
that no real offense had been co'.i'
mitted, but the principal defense was
the contention that in view of the
fact that the shipments had originated
in Kansas the Missouri court was
without jurisdiction. The court ol
Appeals also was called upon to pass
upon this point, and 1t held that the
receiving a rebate lis a continuous
crime judiciable in any court oil the
United States having jurisdiction o
crimes through whose district 'i'
transportation is conducted
