fatal. Dan Swan was cut across the
breast, but his wounds are not OF a
serious nature. Several others were
badly nurt, but their names cannot
be learned. officers went from here
today and arrested two of the party,
Dan Swan and Jonas Koble. They
waived preliminary hearing and were
placed under $1,000 bonds each. 9th

The locality is peopled by German

own troubles with knives and guns,
IL necessary, and refuse to give the
officers any information regarding the
guilty persons.

BLAISDELL WOULD
HAVE WOMEN VOTE
SECRETARY OF STATE BACK
FROM EUROPEAN TRIP
STRONG FOR WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

Washington, June 24.--'T am more
in favor of woman suffrage than ever
before" declared Alfred Blaisdell. sec
retary of state of North Dakota, who
has just returned to the states after
an extended tour Of the British Isles.
Mr. Blaisdell in discussing the suffra-
gate movement in England admitted
that his views had been greatly influ-
enced by the scenes in London within
the past few weeks. He was in Lon
don when some of the greatest demon
strations for woman suffrage took
place.
1T is surprising that so many men
should associate themselves with the
women in this Rlovement," said Mr.
Blaisdell, and to his mind this was the
most significant feature of the present
agitation for universal suffrage in
England.
He ventured the opinion that the
movement would spread to this coun
try before many more years and in
support of his views called attention
to the fact that English women are
more domestic than our own and with
a suffragette movement in domestic
England why not a similar and more
momentous struggle Of the same kind
in America where women already are
accorded more freedom of thought and
action than in any other part of the
world.
Wife Loathes Politics.
With him at the time was Mrs
Blaisdell, a pretty and demure young
woman who showed keen interests in
her husbands views, but did not share
them. Il am not a woman suffra-
gette," she said, although I admit that
to associate myself with such a move
ment would give me something to do"
She loathes politics and official life in
Bismarck and is anxious to get away
from the political atmosphere of that
city altogether
Mrs. Blaisdell also told of her ex-
periences in London and how on one
occasion she and her husband endeav-
ored to gain admission to the English
parliment and how the attendants re-
fused to admit her because she was a
woman. TT was while the women Of
London were making the greatest
racket and had actually invaded the
house of commons" said Mrs. BIais-
dell. In order to prevent a repitition
of those disturbances in parliament it
was found necessary to exclude all
woman visitors from the gallaries
Thus was she refused admittance-an
anti-woman suffragette at that.
While in Washington the Blaisdells
called at the capitol to pay their re-
spects to the North Dakota congress
sional delegation and President Taft.
They expect to return to Bismarck
toward the end of the week.

MILAN. May 1O-Astounding reveia-
tions are disclosed in the ofhcial report
Of the special commission OF inquiry into
the administration OF the cemeteries OF
Naples
It is proved that, like other branches or
municipal service. the administration OF
the burial grounds is in the tolls OF the
Camorra. Blackmail is levied on rela-
tives OF deceased persons under threat
that bodies will be removed.
The municipal contractors have quar-
.ried the soil for their own building pur-
poses. A wholesale trafic Is carried on
in the sale OF floral wreaths and marble
slabs stolen from graves and In linen
shrouds stripped from bodies newly
buried
to be allowed to carry of their dead CLAN
destinely at night. Bodies sometimes mys-
teriously disappear altogether. Bones and
even whole skeletons are stolen by ghouls
for the requirements of witchcraft.
The commissions report makes grfevous
charges against certain priests. who are
said to be leagued with the Camorrists.
and who levied extortionate fees for bur-
ials. Many bodies OF poor people were
doomed to be carried on filthy carts and
tossed into q common pit without bless
ine or religious ceremony OF any kind.
Among the accused clergy is the no.
torious Camorrist Don Giro Vitezzi. who
has been in prison some three years
awaiting his trial.
The commission Of inquiry owes Its
origin to ghastly affair Of nearly four
years ago. In July 1905, the body OF q
little girl was secretly removed from its
coffin and the bones were pulvertzed for
purposes Of witchcraft.
The Naples municipal council was pros
ecuted in 1907 as responsible for the safe
ty Of collins in the municipal burial
ground.
