ROME RINGS WITH
Three SCANDALS
SOCIETY HAS
MUCH TO WHISPER ABOUT
Case of Princess Rospigliosi is One of
Choice Morsels-Ducal ForgcrA Is
Another-Third Is Approaching
Marriage of Signora Nurri.

Fashionable Rome has
three choice morsels Of scandal to
gloat over One of them has been
furnished by the princess Rospigliosi
to whom the elite are already much
indebted for such treats.
The second of the trio Of scandals
involves the Duca di Campobella, son
Of Prince Ruonfornells and a nephew
of Cardinal Rampol,a He is accus-
ed of forgery which prejudices the
cardinal himself The amount of the
forgery is $4,000 lire, or a little more
than $4,000. The duke married Prln-
cess Alighieri some years ago and is
well known in society circles.
The remaining scandal is the re-
vival Of an old one by the prospective
marriage Of Signora Theodolinda Muir
RI, widow Of Count Bonmartini The
count was murdered, after an un-
happy married life, September, 1902.
The widow received much popular
sympathy, but anonymous letters led
the police to examine servants. who
implicated her in the crime Then her
father, Professor Murri Of Bologna de-
nounced his own son Tulllo as the
murderer.
Tulio claimed that he killed the
count during a quarrel which arose
over the ill-treatment Of his sister.
With his sister and two doctors named
Secchi and Naldi he was placed on
trial at Turin in 1905, and the four
were convicted after a trial lasting
six months. The men were sentenced
to solitary confinement for. 80 years
and are in prison. Signora Murri was
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment
but was released after year on con-
dition that she live with her father.
And now she is about to marry Pro-
fessor Ergidi Of the Royal academy
of FermO. The prospective husband
Is a socialist with whom she became
/ acquainted through his having been
the instructor of her children.

An Animal in u Trap.

There is also FEELING or complete
helplessness, as of an animal in a
trap. when the operators come into
ones cell and set to work. I think
that while l live I shall not forget the
sensation with which I watched the
changes of light and listened to the
sounds that foretold the return of the
visitors to my cell.
My inability to control my great
physical .cowardice was one of my
trials. I hope it gave a certain salts
faction to the operators, Except in
the way of clenching my teeth Of
fgrad no resistance, and, after the
fourth or fifth time I succumbed to
the pain of being forced by the steel
gag and opened my jaws with a very
brief protest
After the first time the doctor as
he left me gave me slap on the
cheek. not violently, but apparently to
express his contemptuous d.sapprovaL

Unless you consider 1t part Of
your duty, would you please not
strike me when you have finished
your odious job?'

LADY CONSTANCE LYTroN

Noble Champion of Woman's Rights
Narrates Revolving Practices of
English Jallcrs-Fed by Force-In-
suited by the Doctor.

L.ondon.--Lady Constance Lytton
has given an account of her expert
ences in Walton prison, liverpool,
where she served the greater portion
Of a fourteen days sentence under the
name of Jane Warton.
Lady Constance believed that dur
ing her previous incarceration she
was treated with greater clemency
than other suffragist martyrs of low
er rank, and she assumed the alias
for the purpose of proving her case,
at the cost of what suffering the fol-
lowing extracts from her story Will
show:
After n hunger strike of nearly
four days. eighty-nlne hours, l was
fed by force without my heart being
tested or my pulse felt I was fed
twice a day through the mouth by
means of stomach tube, the mouth
being forced and kept open by gag.
The operation invariably induced
vomiting.
In spite of the first-hand accounts
reality surpassed all had anticipated.
1t was a living nightmare of pain.
horror and revolving degradation. The
sensation is that of being strangled
and sufocated by the thrusting down,
of a large rubber tube which arouses
great irritation in the throat and nau-
sea in the stomach. The anguish and
effort of retching while the tube Is
forcibly pressed back into the stom-
ach and the natural writings of the
body defy description.

PRESIDENT TAFT OBTAINS MORE
LEGISLATION THAN ANY Ex-
EcUTIvE BEFORE HIM.
SIGNS STATEHOOD BILL
TARIFF REVISION. RAILWAY LEG
ISLATIoN, CONSERVATION,
STATEHOOD, ETC.

Washington-Congre leaders
confidently expect to wind up the
present session this week and adjourn
not later than Saturday. IL the ses-
zion is carried beyond that time 1t will
lie because OF amendments to the gen
eraI deficiency bill OF complications In
connection with the omnibus public
building bill.
1t is pointed out by Republican lead
crs that there never has been Con-
gress where n President has obtained
the amount OF Legislation as has re-
suited from the demands of President
Taft: starting in with demand Tor
revision of the tariff. he procured this
at an extraordinary session. Then at
the beginning OF the present session
he demanded railway legislation. a for
ward conservation policy. statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona. postal
savings banks and the regulation OF
injunctions.
Bills on all these subjects have
passed both branches of Congress with
the exception of the an.i-injunction
measure That will have to wait un.
Ill next session. but II is said the pros
poets are good for its passage Mt that
time.
All the regular supply bills have
passed both houses except the general
deficiency bill. That was passed by
the house Saturday and will be re-
ported to the Senate not later than
Tuesday.
The postal savings banks bill Is
still before the Senate. President Taft
approves the house bill and IL seems
reasonably certain that the Senate
will accept It.
The rivers and harbors bill is await
ing the Presidents signature and he
soon will have the omnibus public
buildings bill. With both of these
measures before him he is in a posi-
tion to command that action be taken
on such other legislation as he feels
should pass.
President Taft Monday will sign the
statehood bill. II is likely that there
will be n number Of claimants for the
pen used in signing that historic
amendment. President Taft probably
will use two pens in approving the bill
and give one to Delegate Andrews,
representing New Mexico. and the
other TO Delegate Cameron. represent
