ously suggestive Of Harry K. Thaw to-

in his own behalf. He had been
warned to avoid the outbursts which
characterized his testimony yesterday,
and his effort to do so was obvious,
but under the scathing questioning of
Assistant States Attorney Day his for
titude soon gave away. Lawyer and
defendant became involved in several
heated arguments during which the
warning of the court to control them
selves had but little effect.
Mann denied that he had ever known
the woman who was found strangled
with a rope on July /. He said he
never had visited the rooming house
where he is accused Of accompanying
the woman and signing the name of
81. III. Raymond He admitted he
had consorted with negro woman in
New York. During the day many wit
nesses gave testimony to prove an alibi
for Mann and the state was unable to
shake their evidence.

DELAY IN TRIAL
Attorneys on Both Sides in Cooper
Sharp Trial Fail to Submit lnstruc-
tions-Judee Can Not Complete
Charge Before Monday.

Nashville, Tenn, March 13.-Wnen
the Cooper Sharp trial was resumed
today, Judge Hart announced to the
attorneys that he could not complete
his charge before Monday afternoon
This delay is due to the failure of at
torneys on both sides, to submit in
structions. Judge Anderson completed
the argument for the defense shortly
after court convened, when Attorney
General McCarn began the closing
speech for the state.
McCarn assailed the defense for try
ing to make the case political issue,
and fiayed the lawyers on the other
side for their attacks upon the dead
man. He defended the editorials writ
ten or inspired by Carmack, saying
he had right to write them and that
they were true and justifiable.

cuMMINs WOULD COMPROMISE
Efforts to Bring Factions Tosethe
Fail, However,.

Washington, March 13.-Three i'm
portant developments occurred late
yesterday in the insurrection against
the adoption in the house of the rules
of the Sixtieth congress to govern the
incoming congress.
A compromise fathered by Senator
Cummins of Iowa and presented to the
regulars by President Taft failed to
unite the republican members.
What was pronounced as a satis-
factory working agreement was en-
tered into by the republican "insur-
gents" and the democrats.
The name of Theodore Roosevelt was
introduced as an "insurgent" sympa-
thizer.
The compromise was one that the
insurgents" have had under consid-
Grafton ever since the report became
current that President Taft desired u
postponement of the fight on the rules
lest it might delay the passage of a
tariff bill. 1t provided for the re-elec-
ton of Speaker Cannon and the adop-
ton of the rules of the Sixtieth con-
gress for the special session.
After the organization of the house
on Monday it was provided that a res
olution should be passed authorizing a
committee to investigate the rules and
report on proposed changes at the reg
ular session in December. 1t was pro-
posed that the insurgents" should be
allowed to name four of their number
for the committee, the democrats six,
and the regulars five. The latter five
were to be Representatives Mann Of
Illinois, Currier of New Hampshire,
Keifer of Ohio, Smith of Iowa, and
Stevens of Minnesota.
For the regulars, former Representa-
tive Watson of Indiana replied that the
compromise was acceptable if amend
ed so as to allow the speaker to ap-
point the committee, due regard being
given to the insurgents in it's compo-
sition. The leaders Of the 'insur-
gents" subsequently declared that they
would accept no such suggestion. It
is believed that President Taft vii,
exert his influence to bring the two
branches of the party together, how
ever.
For more than two hours this after
noon the steering committee of the
insurgents" was in conference with
committee representing the democrats.
Representatives Gardner, Madison,
Nelson. Hubbard and Hinshaw were
present for the insurgents" and MIN
Gritty Leader Clark and Representative
Underwood of Alabama for the demo-
Gratis.

New York, March 13.-When the Of.
fetal news of the assassination in
Palermo Of Lieutenant Petrosini was
received here, Chief Of Detectives Nc
Cafferty Immediately sent kilograms
to the chiefs Of all large cities, asking
them to round up every Black Hand
suspect in their locality.
For years Petrosini has been active
in his work to bring to Justice mem-
bers Of his own race who carry on
blackmailing operations in this coun-
try thru threats of murder made in
the name of the Black Hand. 1t is be-
lieved here his murder was the result
of a plot that had it's inception in the
United States, AMI that the persons in
directly responsible for his death are
still within reach Of the American po-
lice. If so, every effort will be made
to bring about their arrest and con-
viction
elimination of Long Crusade.
The assassination of Lieutenant Pc

after another followed in such quick
succession that the inhabitants Of the
district have been living for months
in a state of terror. Demands for
money would be made, and these
would be quickly followed up by an

Italian. In several instances death
was inflicted, and on many occasions

Commissioner Bingham formed a
special Black Hand squad, and when
this failed to make headway, funds
were raised by private subscription and
detectives not in the employ Of tho
police department were hired to CO.
operate with the regular officers in an
effort to run down the blackmailers.
AS last resort it was decided to
send representative Of the police de-
partment to Sicily to investigate the
Black Hand in its native haunts.
Lieutenant Petrosini was selected for
this dangerous duty He landed at
Naples only a few days,ago. His death
shows that he probably was followed
by representatives of the society he
was trying to destroy.
