SIClIANS AROUSED
INDIGNANT AT THE MURDER or
 PETROSINO,
Failure of Government to Capture As- sassins Causes Adverse Com-
 ment--BIack Hand and
 Maha Are at Work.

Palermo. March 19.-The people of Sicily are becoming aroused at what they characterize as the inefhciency of the government and the police in it's efforts to arrest the persons responsi- ble for the assassination of Joseph Pe- trosino, head of the Italian branch of the New York detective service.
 A popular demonstration in censure of official inaction and to express sym pathy for the victims Of Siciiian crimes is being strongly urged
 At police headquarters the opinion prevails that there Is connection be- tween the Black Hand' of New York and of the Sicilian Mafia. Arrests are being made every day.
 It is reported that Premier Giolittl has ordered the prefect of Palermo to go to Rome for conference.
 United States Consul Bishop has ar ranged with the agent of the Cunard line to ship the body of Petrosino 10 New York March 23.
 The body of Petrosino was moved from the cemetery to a church today. It passed through the streets almost ,unnoticed.
 The rumor is gaining ground that Petrosino was murdered by members of the Mafa from Caltanisetta, the birthplace of the brigand Failla Mu- line. Petrosino was at Caltanissetta the day he was killed. Mulone Is now in America and it Is believed that the object of the detectives visit was To secure his extradition.

DECATUR CASE FALLS
JURY WOULD NOT CONVICT ERNEST
 CARRIAGER.
Took Seven Minutes to Return Ver- dict Impeaching the Testimony
 of an Imported Spy.

Decatur, March 19.-(Special)- Within seven minutes Morgan Coun- ty jury this morning brought in yer dict of mot guilty" on the charge Of selling whiskey in violation Of the State prohibition laws.
 The defendant was Ernest Carriager. of Decatur, and-t prosecuting wit ness was Frank J. Wilshone, of Bir- mingham, a detective, who is said to have been employed by the Law and Order League of the Decaturs to hunt down alleged yiolators, of the State prohibition laws.
 The only evidence introduced by the State against Carriagar was the oral evidence of Wilshone and square half pint bottle of liquor. which the detec- tive swore he purchased from Carri- agar in his soft drink stand on Decem- her 31, 1908.
 The defendant introduced evidence which tended to show that this detec- tive brought whiskey to Decatur with him from Birmingham. This liquor was taken before the grand jury few weeks ago and on the evidence Of the whiskey and the statements of the de- tective before the grand jury Carria- gar was indicted.for violating the pro- hibition laws.
 The State was represented by Coun- Iy oOllCilOT U. GTeSn anu Dy SdLi Blackwell, Mayor of New Decatur, and a member of the local Law and Order League. The defendant was represent. ed by Colonel S. T. Vert W. W. Cal lahan and Judge O. Kyle.
 In his speech before the jury Mr. Callahan asked why it was the Law and Order League would let murder. burglary and rape go unnoticed and direct all it's attention to the violations of the liquor laws? He referred to the imported detectiye as a ramp and an alias. who cha1ged his location fre- quently and his name as often as he changed his residence"
 This case has been one of much in- terest. owing to the fact that this was the first case of alleged violation of the new prohibition laws to be ried in this county.
 In making his plea before the jury Mayor Sam Blackwell. by a lapsus lingue. referred to the case as this campaign"
 The crowd in the court room ap- plauded and Judge Vert had to rap for order. Mayor Black well conducted the prohibition campaign in this Coun- ty some time since an dthe verdict in the case this morning was somewhat of a surprise to him.

It was perhaps the dreariest executive session of any held by that body in recent years. Some of the members early Tn the reading took to the cloak rooms and lobby, back of the Speakers s desk, while others left the building for the day
 MT. Sims, of Tennessee, breathed life into the proceedings, He wanted the reading of the bill dispensed with as a farce but objection was made. Then he asked unanimous consent that the bill be put on its passage, saying it was evident no opportunity would be afforded to amend the measure in the House. To this suggestion. however, Mr Mann, of Illinois, objected.
 At 4:55 the House adjourned until Monday.
