MAN IS DYING
REscUEs FRIEND FROM WATER,
BUT NEGLEcTs TO REVIVE HIM
TRYING TO SAVE HIS OWN
MONEY.
BY Associated Press.

New York, July S.-Dominick Fam
nelli, a young ice dealer, who, with a
score of his fellow countrymen had
gone to the wharf on the East river at
the foot of Ninth street to get his sup
ply of ice from a barge there, lost his
balance and fell overheard. William
Schultz sprang into the river and after
a struggle succeeded in bringing Fan
nelli ashore. The latter was un-
conscious and some Of his friends be-
gan working over him.
Just at this time a brother-in-law
OF Fannelli saw Schutlz's pocketbook
which had slipped from his pocket
floating down the river. He insisted
that the wallet was Fannelli. Schultz
swan out to it and recovered it After
Schultz had been hoisted to the pier,
the unconscious mans brother in law
insisted that he surrender the wallet.
The demand was refused and a general
fight started, which did not end until
the police reserves were called out.
Meanwhile FannelL who had been
utterly forgotten by the combatants,
died. An ambulance surgeon said that
his life could have been saved if the
men had continued the work Of resus-
citation.

Washington, July S.-After some diff
ficulty in securing a quorum, the SEN
ate today resumed consideration Of
the Canadian reciprocity bill and over
the protest of Senator Cummins, be-
gan voting on his proposed amend
ments.
The amendment putting meats on
the free list was defeated IA to S2.
Senator Bailey Immediately moved an
adjournment.
TT is apparent that we are doing
business here with a bare quorum" he
said, "and 1 think we ought to let
these votes go over"
The senate voted down the motion
to adjourn 19 to 1S.
Senator Cummins again referred to
what he termed the unfairness of fore
ing a vote on his amendments before
other senators had a chance to speak
on them. He declared that leaving a
duty on Canadian meat would benefit
only the big packers of the United
States.
WOULD KILL BILL.
Senator Burton, of Chicago, in vot-
ing against the Cummins amendment
said he did so because he thought it
would upset the whole Canadian agree
ment. He said he favored free meat,
but not as an item on the reciprocity
bill where it might defeat the whole
arrangement.
The vote by which the Cummins free
meat amendment was defeated showed
Senators Bailey, Simmons and Thorn
ton, Democrats, voting with the fol-
lowing Republicans in favor of the
amendment:
Senators Borah, Bourne, Bristow,
| Clapp, Clark (of Wyoming), Cummins.
Dixon, Gronna, Kenyon, Nelson and
| Sutherland.
Senator Cummins next asked for a
separate vote on his amendment to ad-
NIT -four and other manufactured
| cereal products free of duty from
Canada. He said the amendment was
| to balance the provision of the
reciprocity bill that puts grain on the
| free list.
Senator Bailey urged the adoption OF
| the amendment. Senator Dixon in
sisted it would not invalidate the Ca
madam agreement. Senator Burton, OF
Ohio, contested the point. He de-
clared the reciprocity was an inter
national agreement standing by it.
SELF
FARMERS WILL NOT SUFFER.
| Senator Burton added that he die
not believe the farmers as a whole
would suffer from the removal of duty
on wheat.
why not put -four on the free list
them" asked Senator Cummins.
Il am willing flour should be put or
the free list if it can be done with.
out endangering this reciprocity agree
ment," returned Senator Burton. But
II you want free flour, why don't yoJ
take 1t up courageously as an amend
ment proposition, instead of trying Il
tack it on this bill as a rider?"
Before a vote on the free foul
amendment was taken, the senate
agreed to an adjournment until mex
Monday and all the amendments ex.
cept the free meat provision, which
was defeated, went over until tha
time.

Nv Associated Prsea,

Washington, July s.-Roal E.
Cabell, commissioner of internll i've

Pay and allowances for internal rte
nue. officers which seems quite vexg.
Mr.. Cabell declines to discuss vat
his action will be and says that Its
not a public matter.
Pinkey Benton Stewart Pinchba,
the former negro lieutenant govern
of Louisiana, who later aspired to
seat in the United States senate,
now an internal revenue agent at Ne

sioner Cabell that he had changed h
legal residence from New York
Washington and followed 1t up Wi
an $87 board bill, which he asked Il
government to pay, as the law ALLOW
So q day living expenses to intern

Commissioner Cabell called upt
Comptroller Tracewell and asked:
Can an officer of the governme
for the purpose of obtaining addition
pay, instantly and arbitrarily cham

another or to federal territory"
Comptroller Tracewell ruled that
can, but it does not follow that
will get the additional pay unless Z

Orders reached the navy yard yester-
day afternoon to Immediately pack all
stores for shipment and to notify the
department. as soon as they were ready
for shipment. This would seem TO in
dicate that the determination of the
department is to hasten the closing OF
the yard by removing from It every
tnlhS except the actual machinery and
then make the argument to congress
that there was neither work nor ma
terial for work at the yard
Immediately on learning Of the or
DER the Commercial Association tele-
graphed to the Louisiana and Florida
members Of the joint committee ap-
pointed to call on the navy department
and effect delay. and also to Hon. L.
+. Paggett' Of Tennessee, chairman of
the house committee on naval affairs.
TELEGRAMS SENT.
The telegram to the gentlemen men
toned was as follows: Orders re-
ceived today to pack all stores for ship
ment and notify department when thew
are ready for shipment Can't YOU
stop such percipitate action pending
proposed action by congress"

every department being watched close
ly and promptly acted on, and. while
the incisive and deliberate policy of the
department to close the local ward has
not been perceptibly altered. the asso-
citation is able to report that Il has
stirred up the members of the senate
and house to a very considerable ex-
tent, and advices from the Florida
delegation previous to the orders yes
terday held out hope that congress will
make for its rights in such matters as
deliberate and determined a fight as
the department is making for its privi-
lege.
A good deal Of announcement wa g
felt over the inquiry of the navy de-
partment as to the number of local
men who would be absolutely thrown
out Of work by the order to lay them
off on the first Of the month. The fact
that practically every man now on the
pay roll at the navy yard is a resident
here, at the yard or Warrington held
out announcement that the wholesale
discharge of men would be DELAYED
somewhat, and that the delay would
give our delegation and other south
erners in congress an opportunity to
effect some permanent good.

DOUBLE PAY
IS SUSPECTED

WHETHER VOUCHERS WILL
REVEAL FACTS IN THE CASE
CASE OF DOUBLE SALARIES.
ny AssoeIatsd Presa.

Washington, July s.-The house
committee on expenditures in the
state department convened in execu-
tive session today and It was reported
that an investigation would be made in
connection with vouchers for sums
paid out Of the departments emergency
fund. The committee, IT is understood,
desires to learn II these vouchers will
show that double salaries have been
paid" that is If those drawing regular
salaries in the department have been
paid for work said to have been done
in connection with special commits
sions.
Representative Hamlin, of Missouri
chairman Of the committee, has deter
mined that he will, If possible, find
out II the names of those appearing
on the vouchers also appear on the de-
partment's payrolls.

Washington, July S.-Impeachment of
Justice Daniel T. Wright, of the su-
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia, was suggested to the senate third
degree" investigating committee by
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Gompers's complaint was against Jus
tice Wright's course in the Buck s
Stove and Range Company contempt
proceedings against the federation Of
ficials.
Mr.. Gompers told the committee that
he knew the senate could not begin
impeachment proceedings and that he
did not mean for the committee to take
the initiative.
Infamous" and third degree"
methods were termed used by PreSi-
dent Gompers in denouncing the arrest
Of J. J. Mcnamara at Indianapolis and
]. B. Mcnamara at Detroit last April.
Mr.. Gompers said the indianapolis
arrest was apparently staged" one
newspaper having the story of the ar
rest set up and the edition held up
until the arrest could be pulled off"
The impea chment suggestion at the
close of a. review of the contempt pro-
ceedings waged in the local courts by
the Bucks company against President
Gompers, Vice-President John Mitchell
and Secretary Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor.
UNPARALLELED SENTENCES.
THE sentences imposed by Justice
Wright in that proceeding are unparal-
leled in the history of Jurisprudence of
this country" declared Mr.. Gompers.
| There is no other case on record
where there was sentence of more
than six months Imprisonment upon
iany one found guilty Of contempt Of
court"
In the Debs case, in which life was
| lost, he said, the sentence was six
months. I'm a lynching case from
Tennessee, the chief offender was sen
fenced to ninety days in jail. That
was contempt against. the supreme
court of the United States.
Mr. Gompers told of the institution
Of new proceedings by Justice Wright
| and added that as an alternative tC
answering the charges, an opportunity
had been given the defendant to apollo
gize.
WON'T APOLOGIZE.
Justice Wright will be much oldel
before / apologize" declared Gompers
II am not ready to apologize for trying
to help the poor devils who are work
ing and giving their service to th'
country and getting so little for 1t.
am not conscious of having violated
any law or having harmed any man."
A protest was made against the bur
den on the federation of having to de
fend suits for alleged contempt, viola
tion Of the Sherman antitrust law ant
other criminal charges. Mr.. Gomper
said 1t seemed to be part of a plan t.
crush the federation.
He asked the committee to have
law passed to put a stop to the kid
mapping of laboring men and their re
moval to other states for trial.
IF congress can regulate the trans
portation of hogs" he said, at coult
prevent the unlawful taking in inter
state commerce of individuals"

Viterbo, Italy. July S.-The court and
jury who are hearing the trial Of the
Camorrists charged with the murder of
Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife were
occupied today with an examination of
papers and personal belongings seized
by the authorities at the home of Giro
Vitozzi, the priest, known as the guar
dian angel of the Camorra" and one OF
the defendants in the present case.
When Enrico Alfano and his asso-
ciates were first arrested they were re-
leased upon the representations Of vi
tozzi, who said he had learned of their
innocence and the guilt of others in
the confessional. This intervention
permitted Aifano to escape to the
United States, where he fell into the
hands of the New York police. The
exhibit included a sword cane, re-
voIvers, 140 bills of exchange, 1000 let
ters from criminals asking his protec-

ton and a letter from Maria Barto-
litti. This woman is believed by some
to be a close friend of the priest while
according to others, Vitozzi acted as
her agent in loaning money.
Confronted by these exhibits, in

Vitozzi defended his possession of them
Regarding the communications from
criminals. he said that he considered il
the duty Of his ministry to assist sin
ners. including the criminals who had
applied to him for help.
Among Vitozzi's effects were found
letters from various clerks and officials
of the law courts, complaining that
money promised them had not been re-
ceived. According to the state the
priest was in the habit of giving bribes
to the court officials in order to obtain
light sentences for convicted criminals
with whom he was associated.
1t is declared that the revelation
along this line will be scandalous.
