ROCKEFELLER, JR.,
 LIABLE TO ARREST

New York, January 5.-She action for criminal libel brought on complaint of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., against S. S. Carvalho, Bradford Merrill and E. H. Clark, officers of the Starr Publishing company, which published the New York American, was begun today in the central police court before Magistrate Moss. MT. Rockefeller testified that the article in the American in which he was accused of having caused a system of peonage to be adopted by certain breakfast food company at Chicago was false in every particular. He had not set foot in Chi cago for nearly two years
 Clarence J. Shearn, attorney for the de- fendants, submitted a retraction printed on the day following the publication of the original story, as evidence that the libel had not been committed with ma licious intent. MT. Shearn then cross examined the witness and secured from him an admission that while he had sworn in his original complaint that he ''knew of his personal knowledge that the defendants were officers of the Star Publishing company, that knowledge had in reality been based simply ''upon infor- matioi and belief" MT. Shearn contend ed that this constituted perjury on the part of Mr Rockefeller and promptly ap- piled for a warrant for his arrest on that charge.
 Assistant District Attorney Garvin pro- tested vigorously against the charge be- ing taken seriously but MT. Shearn in- sisted and Magistrate Moss took the mat ter under advisement
 The question of malicious intent was also left for future adjudication next Mon- day.

THE REPUBLICANS TONIGHT
By c. H. MANDY,

Ensley, January 5.-(Special.) )-The mass meeting held tonight at the city hall to devise systematic plans for raising money for the relief of the earthquake sufferers
 in Italy was well attended, and a perma- nent organization effected. While the larger number present were Italians, there were many Americans present, and much earnestness and sympathy were shown as the several speakers graphically described the terrible suffering and distress of the homeless thousands in the devastated dis trict.
 The meeting was called to order by S. R. Guartino. editor of the Libero Pensiero He spoke dramatically of the awful ca lamity that had visited the south of Italy and the island of Sicily. He made strong appeal for aid and assistance to those who were unable to help them selves. At the close of his speech he placed the name of the Rev. J. B. Canapa in nomination for chairman, and he was unanimously elected. Alderman W. H. Mcdowell made an appropriate talk He urged the people to contribute to the fund that is being raised. He cited the action of the Congress of the United States in making an appropriation, and said that every citizen of the United States should do the same Dr. c. Grassi made an ad- dress that was much to the point and urged liberal contribution.
 W. R. Stewart addressed the meeting briefly and expressed his heartfelt sym pathy for the suffering people beyond the seas. He said he was proud of being an American when he read that Congress had made an appropriation of $500,000 to this needy and merciful cause. D. J. Hummer made a talk in which he urged immediate action, and that assistance in time like this was needed at once He expressed deep sympathy for the dis tressed people. The Rev. Paul Klitch made a speech in Italian and paid high tribute to the Sicilians. He made an ef- fective and most humane appeal for aid, describing some of the dreadful scenes that had occurred. He closed by saying that when Italy recovered from the ter rible visitation she will thank God and the entire world for the mercy and char ity shown.
 Remarks were made by Joe Lacascio of Birmingham and others, after which the following committee was elected to re- ceive and forward all contributions: Mayor D. F. Sugg, chairman; the Rev. B. B. Glasgow, treasurer; Louis Maenza, secretary; c. J. Herbert, N. w. Scott, Tony Frank, " Ragusa, W. R. Stewart, Sam Goglino, l.. Miglionico and E. Grat- tina. This committee will solicit and re- ceive all contributions. A vote of thanks was rendered S. R. Guarino for his work In bringing about the meeting and his ef- forts on behalf of the distressed.
 A subscription list was started, headed by W. R. Stewart with $25.

PROHIBITION IS
 SEVERELY SCORED

New Orleans, January 5.-A meeting, at tended by about 1900 citizens, including a large number of leading business men, was held in New Orleans tonight for the purpose of inaugurating a movement for the restoration of wintier racing and to protest against the enaction of so-called blue laws in Louisiana.
 preamble to resolutions adopted favor ing racing and condemning prohibition de- clared:
 ''The citizens of New Orleans have not been and never will be in favor of circum- scribing either the liberty of it's citizens or of visitors within it's borders beyond the limits of common sense and neces- sity, and they point to the evils of hypoc- risies that have been brought upon some of Louisiana's sister states by tyrannieal and oppressive prohibition laws
 The formation of the business men s league and the appointment of a commit tee for campaign for the revival of rac- ing was one of the results of the meet ing

Pity Levels All Ranks.

Rome, January 5.-In order further to aid the earthquake sufferers, Queen Hel- ena has turned portion of the Quirinal palace into a workshop where a number of Italian women of high rank dress makers and working girls sit all day long in the greatest friendliness busily en- gagged in cutting out and sewing garments for the refugees. The women are under the superintendency of the Queen her self, who with her own hands often guides fingers unaccustomed to work of this kind. Each afternoon there is a rest pe- riod of one hour, when all the women take tea together, but as soon as the time is
