VENCANZA De
BAND|DOS.
Juraron el exterminio
de un periodista y su
fanlilia.
TodOs faerOn aSeSiuadoS y ain
fue mas leiOs su venganza.

Los bandidos sicilianos
han dado una prueba de cinis-
mo Y ferocidad, persiguiendo
a muerte a un periodista y a
toda su familia.
Hace algun tempo que ell
periodista Rezzutti empren-
di0 en- Roma una violenta
campana contra los brigantes
de Caltabellotta.
Diariamente pubIicaba ar
ticulos en6rgicos, en- que con-
denaba durante las deprede-
clones del bandidaie critican-
do la negligencia de las auto
ridades y senalando los medios
de que estas podrian valerse
para cumplir con SUI deber.
Pronto empezaron a llegar
los an6nimos al osado escritor
an6nimos en- que Sc lie manda-
ba callar y Sc lie amenazaba de
muerte.
Temperamento altivo hon.
bre austero, Rezzutti despre-
clio las amenazas que Sc le di-
rigian y continue la campa1a
emprendida, llevandola con
mayor virulencia.
Los an6nimos continuaron
y 6l empez6 a publicarlos. Va
rias veces, desconocidos Sc lie
acercaban y con tono de ame-
naza lie intimaban que no pro-
siguiera en- SUI intento, porque
Sc lie malaria.
Sus amigos y parientes lie
garon q alarmarse y lie rogaron
que callase.
Todas las suplicas fueron
inutiles; el continue I'M pertul
bable en- 10 que considerable
su deber.
Por fin, Sc lie anunci6 que
su muerte habia sido decreta-
da; aviso que despreci6 como
los anteriores. A los pocos dias
Sc lie encontraba en- la calle
acribiIlado d punaladas y eX-
Dirante.
La terrible "uendettd" de
los bandidos no termin6 con
la muerte de su enemigo.
Habian decidido hacer de-
saparecer 4 toda la familia de
Rezzutti. Con la cobarde sana
del asesino, Sc cumpli6 este
prop6slto; hoy el lnico m lem
bro que queda de la familia es
la hija menor del valiente pc
riodista, los demas han caido-
bajo el punal vengativo de los
brigantes, pero casi habria 81
do preferlble que muriese,
pues cay6 en- manos de los
bandidos que la ultraiaron
salvajemcnte.

Let Justice Brewer Answer

Perhaps there is no better answer to

didacy for Senator than the following
extract form an address to the gradual.
ing class Of the Albany Law School
made by Justice David j. Brewer, Of
the United States Supreme Court, June
l, 1904:
The conditions of life in this Repub.
lie have wonderfully changed during
the last century. Formerly there were
two parties-the individual and the
government. Now there are three
the individual, the corporation and the
government.
No one can be blind to the fact that
these mighty corporations are holding

makers to regard in their lawmaking

The Proper Sentiment

The law creating the Office Of insur-
ance commissioner permits oiicial sala-
res totaling sl3, 500 in two years
Surely that is liberal sum to expend
on new Office, the dunes OF which
have heretofore been performed by
deputy under tbs secretary of state
assisted at times by stenographer.
But the incumbent, Schively, asks the
legislature for S26 400 for the next two
years. What will he do with about
$1,000 more than the law provides for
He asks the legislature by the appro.
priation method, to provide places for
two more oflice-holders 10 his depart
ment. OF course, the Office is entitled
TO an appropriation for expenses,
though it is exceedingly doubtful
whether any such sum is needed as
Schively asks.
Before the legislature appropriates
money lavishly for expenses of tha,
Office it should satisfy itself and the
state that the insurance commissioner
is not unfit to hold the office.
His fitness has been questioned time
and again. Serious charges were made
against him IN the direct primary cam.
paign. They have not been disproved.
Schively was quoted in the public press
to the elect that he would welcome an
investigation. He ought to be accom-.
modated If ne has changed his mind
about it, the public ought to be accom-.
modated, for it warmly approves the
request for an investigation attributed
in the public press to Schively.
If the Office of insurance commission.
err is to be managed with as little bene.
lit to the public as it was when under
the secretary of the state, it would be
lnexcusable tor the legislature to an.
proprlate $50, 400 to be expanded in
the next two years. The additional
positions Schively is trying to provide
Tor lieutenants, over and above those
mentioned in the law creating the Office
are not justified by present conditions
even ii there were no question of the
fitness OF Schively to supervise insur.
ance in this state. That there ia n
question, and serious question. of
whether Schively is fit to hold the
Office makes it all the more inexcusablo
to put thousands of dollars at his dis.

RECLAMATION ACT
IS HELD VALID
United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals Reverses Decision Of
Judge whitson in the Hanson
Case on Lake Keechelus

Reversal OF the decision OF Judge
Whitson in the Hanson case, relating
to rights OF the reclamation service a.,
Lade Keechelus, and decision that the
reclamation service act is valid and
constitutional are embodied in a deci-
sion that has just been announced by
the United States circuit court of APP.
peals at San Francisco, OF which Attor.
ney Ralph b. Williamson of the re-
clamatiOn service received advice 81
noon Tuesday.
The Hanson case has attracted ma
tional attention, and the question OF
the constitutionality OF the reclamation
act has been one OF The vital interests
OF the people OF the arid sections Of the
west in which irrigation work bas been
undertaken.
To the Yakima valley, the case has
been Of special Importance. Decision
that the act was unconstitutional
weuld have meant the stopping OF the
vast reclamation projects, including
the Tieton, Sunnyside, Wapato, Ben
ton and ether plans. The decision in
favor OF the government, however,
means that this work will be carried
through.
Chris Hanson, the plaintiff In the
case, lives near Lake Keechclus, ID
the district that will be flooded whom
the government completes its big con-
serving dam and reservoir. Before be
had made an entry on this land, the
government withdrew it from entry
and he has refused papers by the land
Office.
The government offered to pay for
the improvements and under this rule,
he would not lose his homestead rights.
Attorney n. j. Srively was brought
into court by an action Of the reclama-
tion service to eject Hanson from the
lands. The facts were presented to
the federal court by Attorney Snively,
and the government demurred. This
demurrer was overruled by Judge
Whitson. The case was then appealed
by tho government.
Attorney Snively then brought up
tho question OF the constitutiOnality of
the act, and the claim was made that
the work contemplated was not within
the federal power. The decision holds
with the government, in every partic-
ular, and indicates that the text Of
courts decision will show that the re-
clamation service has valid standing
as . government division.
Many times the question OF constr tu-
tionality of the reclamation service act
has been raised, but At no time until
the Hanson case wss heard at San
Francisco, was the question placed de.
finitely before the United States courts.
It Is understood that the government
will arrange to have Hanson appointed
to some position with the service, In
looking after the interests OF the gov
eminent at Lake Keechelus.
II. j. Snively, attorney for Hanson,
stated to the Herald last evening that
he would appeal the case to the United
States supreme court.
