LARGE REWARD
 FOR MURDERERS New York World Offers Sl, ,O00
 For Arrest of SlayerS,
BUREAU SERVICE PLANNED
A Number of Italians Have Been Ar rested In New York In Connection With Petrosino's Death, But
 Most Are Released.

New York, March 15.-While the au- thorities here are known to have taken every measure within their power to discover any possible evidence of con spiracy on this side of the water in connection with the assassination of Detective Petrosino in Palermo. Sicily, so far as is known nothing has been discovered to connect any person here in any way with the crime. The four Italians arrested on suspicion in Brook lyn yesterday were arraigned in court today and held in 5000 bail each, on the charge of carrying concealed weapons It was at first suspected that the men had knowledge of the plot to kill Petrosino, but no evidence in that | connection has been forthcoming Late tonight the police rounded up carrying concealed weapons and being suspicious persons will be made
 Among those taken into custody is Pietro Inzerrili, a restaurant keeper, whom Petrosino arrested at the time of the so-called barrel" murder, a few years ago. The victim of the murder had last been seen alive in Inzerrili's coffee house. No eveidence connecting him with the crime could be found, and he was released.
 reward of 5000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of Petrosino was offered tonight by the World.
 At conference between Mayor Me Clellan and Police Commissioner Bing- ham today it was decided to ask for the cooperation of the federal secret ser vice in running down Petrosino's slay- CTS. It is also likely that an appropria- tion of $50,o00 for the establishment of a secret service bureau to deal exclu- sively with Black Hand problems will be pressed by the board of aldermen a it's meeting tomorrow
 The aldermen will also be asked to sanction a special reward for the ar rest of the murderers of Petrosino and the granting of a special pension to the detectiYe's widow.

The Judge HundIey Matter.
3 Bessemer Weekly.

From the BeSSemer Weekly.
 We have known of Judge o. R. Hund- ley for we believe a score of years, nearly ever since Bessemer was founded. He was then, if we remember correctly a state senator from Huntsville As such. as far as our information goes, he acquitted himself with honor and credit We had always understood that he stood high with his fellow citizens of Hunts vile as an able lawyer and a leading, public-spirited and influential citizen.
 When few years since he affiliated himself with the republican party, on what special principal or policy we do not recall, nor care. we heard of no aspersion of his motives for his action It is no reflection upon man to change his views in politics, nor even upon princi- ples, nor his political or party affiliations unless some selfish or sordid motive de- velops and we have never heard of the latter being imputed to MT. Hundley.
 When MT. Hundley received his first appointment as judge of the United States district court, it was generally conceded as one quite fit to be made His ability and high character had put himself in the prominent leadership of his party in this state. Then his serv- ice on the bench seemed to demonstrate the possession of attributes fitting the wearing of the ermine 1t seemed only that his action independent of attempted persuasion by members of the bar aroused opposition.
 judge on the bench is certainly to be commended for independent action, one who holds aloof from the selfish influences of attorneys practicing before him. The opposition that suddenly de- veloped against him seemed based wholly upon his declination to be influenced in his official duty by attorneys of ltigants in his court.
 In all the opposition that has been so sedulously studied and developed against Judge Hundley we find nothing refecting upon his moral character, his integrity nor demonstrating any want of capacity to credtably meet the re- qurements of his high position
 The fast that President Taft prompt seems conclusive that he indorses his selection by Roosevelt and will confirm it. The fact that both of our United States senators and many of the lead ing members of the bar of the state favor his appointment removes any question of his ultimate confirmation. What more appropriate appointment could be made by a republican President out of the ranks of that party in this state than that of Oscar R. Hundley for the posi- ton In which he is now serving?

TROUBLE AHEAD
 FOR JUNGLE JOE

Washington, March 15.-Only five committees of the House will be named by Speaker Cannon for the present. These will be ways and means, rules, printin g. mileage and accounts The other committees will be announced about the time the special session is ready to adjourn.
 In making up the committees 1t is stated on reliable authority the speaker will consult every member of the House who desires to discuss assign ments with him" This means that Minority Leader Clark will not enjoy the privilege accorded his predecessor John Sharp Williams, of selecting the minority members. It was staten to- day that MT. Cannon, after a trial of six years, had reached the conclusion that the plan was not the best and that henceforth he will not shift any of the responsibility for committee assign ments to the minority leader.
 The attitude taken by the democrats at caucus held this afternoon after the House adjourned is in sharp con- fiict with the new policy of Speak ker Cannon. A resolution was adopted to prevent members of the minority ac- cepting appointment on any committee without the previous approval of the present minority leader, Clark. The resolution read:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of the democratic caucus that no democrat should accept appointment on any com mittee without the previous approval of the present democratic leader"
 This was adopted by a vote of 135 to l. one member voting present" |" Previous to the vote, however, a num- Der of members had left the caucus including Representatives Fitzgerald of New York. Moon of Tennessee. Ed wards, Brantley and Livingston of Georgia

TAFT'S MESSAGE
 MAY BE WITHHELD

Washington, March 15.-Doubt was ex- pressed at the White House today as to whether President Taft's message would be sent to Congress tomorrow, even if ready.
 The chaotic conditions in the House, due to the victory of the Insurgents and democrats may continue for several days. In that event the House will be in no shape to receive communications from the White House.
 As rule these communications are promptly referred to appropriate com mittees. Until the committees are pro- dded for and are ready for business it is considered probable that President Taft will withhold his message

A Pnzrling anestion.

What is going to become of all the
unmarried business women when they
are too old to work. was the rather
startling question propounded at a
meeting of a woman's club in New
York.
"A business man, member of a lead
ing publishing house, said to me: Have
you ever noticed what lot of nice
old maids there are in our employ :?
What will finally become of them?
These women are nice They are
usually in receipt of a good salary, but
they haven't saved anything. IMPROVE
dent? No, not necessarily.
'They live in accordance with the
American standard Of living, and they
can afford to live in that way with
the money they earn, besides it is re-
CURED of woman in a good position
to dress well. If they were saving
'provident' you would call it, how could
they save, at the best, enough to secure
them from want for the rest of their
natural lives? Their business useful
ness ends at so years of age, say. Some
firms generously pension women worn
out in their employ, but these are few.
Something will have to be done to meet
this emergency. Proud, independent,
superior as they are and SO many of
themw
There should be a day for thinking
about marriage" suggested a member
of the club. "Just as there are Labor
day and Memorial day and others. Men
in the cities are too busy, their lives
are too strenuous to think about mar
riage. If there was day set apart
for thiraaing about it and a parade of
ali the nice men and women. who
would in that way see each other in the
light of candidates for matrimony some
thing might come of it, and this growing
celibacy be put stop to which threat
ems to depopulate the world, and these
fine women would not then be left to
lonely dependent old age"
This question is not one to be treat
ed with levity," remarked the first
speaker with a frown. 1T has not OBJ
truded itself upon the studen. s of so
cial economy as it will do. Spinster-
hood was never SO general before as it
is becoming. Just run your mind over
the women of this class whom you
know.
mark my words, this question is
bound to become the foremost social
and economic question Of the next ten
years"

The Chatterinr woman.

Many Offshoots Of the suffragette
movement are found in England, and
one of the most amusing is a campaign
against the wife who posters her hus-
band about trifies in the household.
Many leaders in the suffrag ette cause
assert wives must talk politics, instead
of household cares, with their hus-
bands. Probably the most interesting
contribution to the discussion has come
from Canon Horsley of London, who
says there are three classes of chatter
ing women" all responsible for many
evils. First Of all, there is the wom-
an who has no sense of proportion -
says the analytical canon. "She chat
tiers away about insignificant little
things. This kind of woman in the up
per classes drives her husband to the
GLIB. Among the poor she drives her
husband to drink. The second chatter
ing woman is the wife who harps away
on one string. Here again the husband
goes to the club or to the bar. The
third class of chattering women is the
one who cannot express herself with
directness. She wanders from one point
to another, and it is impossible to bring
her back to the main topic. The hus-
band is lucky who is not driven by her
to insanity" There is truth in what
the canon says, but he does not point
out a remedy. 1t is significant, too,
that not one engaged in the discussion
has prescribed 4 plan for the muzzling
of the chattering woman. Evidently in
that respect she is looked upon as be-
yond reform.
