vERRAzzANo GIVEN PLACE.
Italians Discovery Of New York
for France Recognized.

NEW YORK. July e4.-On the
strength of their claim that Giovanni
de Eerrazzano sailed through the Mar
rows and landed a boatload of men on
Manhattan Island in 1924, Italian and
French citizens of the United States
have secured the Incorporation of a
Franco-Italian celebration in the Hud-
son-Fulton proceedings here next Sep
TENDER.
VerraZzano was an Italian navigator
in the employ of the French govern
ment. Inasmuch as Hudson admittedly
did not enter the river which now bears
his name until 1909. the Latin Ameri-
cans who are pushing Vera zzano S
claims convinced the Hudson-Fulton
committee that the least that could be
done in justice was to grant them a
place in the coming celebration for a
glorification of Nerrazzano on their own
account.
More than this. they have taken UP
subscriptions from their felloW-country-
men in the United S ates for a statue
of the Italian explorer. Ettore XimeEes
N Italian sculptor, accepted the COM
mission. and Is at work here on four
| teen-foot eff1gy of the sixteenth-century
navigator.

The sugar beet business is practically

were three beet sugar factories in this
