PETROSINO'S DEATH
STIRS NEW YORK

NEW YORK March 1S.-No crime in
years has so stirred the people generally,
and the police in particular, as has the as
sassination of Lieutenant Joseph Petro-
sino, of the New York police force. IN
Palermo, Sicily. By many, Petros1no is
considered a martyr. He had received
numerous threats that unless he ceased
his efforts against the Black Hand, the
Camorra, the Malta and other Italian
conspirators and criminals, he would meet
his end. Petrosino, however, was not de-
TERED i'm the work he believed he was
called on to do for civilization and hui

friends the fate that befell him yesterday.

Petrosino was As years old and became a
member of the police department in 1888.
He was the find of Inspector Alexander
Williams. Williams was attracted oy the
active and bright young Italian and con-
ceived the idea of using him in the ltal-
ian colonies where crime was frequent
and hard to trace. From the first, Petro-
SIM was successful. His arrests have run
into the thousands, while his convictions
have been proportionately large.
Petrosini had been on his mission about
two months and was about to return

\ ITRIOLIC CRUSADE
ON CANNON REGIME

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Before the
caucus of the house Republicans and in
surgents met tonight, there was much
discussion of the plan of some of the
insurgents to nominate ex-President
Roosevelt for speaker The movement
was hailed with enthusiasm by all OPP
ponents of Speaker Cannon and viewed
with apprehension by Cannon's friends
emo lieutenants.
No secret, by the way, is made of the
intention of the Cannon organization to
subject the insurgents to humiliation.
The Cannon men asserted that by
Monday the insurgents would be eating
from the speakers hand. The insur-
gents, however. declared that their ranks
are unbroken and that they were banded
together to sink or swim. Their steering
committee had been in almost continuous
conference with Champ Clark, the
Democratic leader in the house, and
reports were given out that iron-clad COM
promise agreements had been reached.
The Democratic members are lining
up behind Mr.. Clark for coalition with
the insurgents in the assault upon the
Carnon rules, which are to be made IN
the house Monday. Fears OF spht IN
the Democratic ranks. who opposed Mr.
Clark yesterday are being dissipated by
the kilograms from absent members.
This is the first test OF clark leauer-
ship. He has served notice that whoever
disappoints him will be marked so ions
as he is minority leader.
AS a result Of this stand, some Demo
cratic members who hold good commit
tee assignments, have been promised
good berths and were Indifferent to the
results of the insurgents fight, have
promised to be in the house when the
gave falls at noon on Monday and vote
with their leader.
Ollie NJ. James said today that ne
thought there would not be a single
absentee except Representative Legare'
who is i'll, and that every Democratic
vote will be with the insurgents.

HUSBAND MAKES NOVEL
PLEA FOR ACOUTTTAI.

DENVER. Sept. 60. C. Rogers
offered novel plea in answer to
charge of non-support' made by his
wife, Barbara M. Rogers, in court
Tuesday. He said Mrs. Rogers had
blood from a diseased old man in
jected into his veins, which nearly
caused his immediate death, and has
made him cripple for life. Thus
prevented from performing manual
labor, he pleads that his wife can
not compel him to support her.
Rogers, who is young man, says
that he married Mrs. Rogers in Chi
cago while he was a mere boy, and
when she was already the mother
of living children by former hus-
band.
81 was inveigled into the mar
riage by the wiles of woman old
enough to be my mother" said Rog-
ers in court. 1T was my first ex
perience with a woman and she cas-
lily drew the net around me. But
after we were married she tired Of
my youth and vivacity and attempt
ed to reduce me to the state of de-
crepitude which she had reached.
She got the aid of quack doctor
who was attending an old man af-
fiicted with rheumatism and a loath-
some disease. Under the pretext
that he wished to analyze the blood
of the aged invalid he drew some of
| it from his veins. This he put into
hypodermic syringe, and while
slept the quack injected the dose
into my arm" Then exhibiting a
hand that was withered and an arm
that showed the marks of disease,
Rogers continued:
II came near to losing my life.
AS it is, am unable to perform
manual labor with that hand. "
Rogers is related to prominent
Denver professional men. He has
demanded jury trial.
