MURDER TRIAL
OF TERR0RISTS
PROVES FARCE
Court Experts Look for But
Three Convictions and
Light Sentences
Many in High Places Of Gov
ernment Said to be Mixed
Up with Camorrists.
Especial from United Press.)


Vfterbo, April S-Although the Cam
orrists' trial will probably drag on
for months, there is already every in
dication that it will end in farcial
verdicts.
Court experts who have followed the
proceedings expressed the opinion, to-
day, that there will not be to exceed
be for short terms In this event the
guilty ones will be released as the i'm
prisonment they underwent awaiting
trial would probably amount to more
than the terms Of their sentences.
The prosecutions handling of the
cases is declared to lack the neces-
sary vigor giving rise to the opinion
in many minds that, aside from Judge
Rianchi, none of those connected with
the prosecution has the requisite nerve
to deal with the revengeful Camor-
rists.
The real basis. however, for the be-
lief that the prisoners will escape
lightly is the influence either Of the
Camorrfsts themselves or of their
friends in governmental affairs. Many
Of those in high places are believed
to be connected directly or indirectly,
with the Camorrists and they are be-
ing counted on to influence the out
come or the trial. Through their
gambling operations, Giovanni Rapi
and others of the Camorra have clubs
over the heads Of scores of the most
prominent men in Italy
A unique situation promises to arise
in the probable adjournment of the
trial On Tuesday until after Easter.
Nearly all of the prisoners profess to
be devout communicates of the
church and they are clamoring for
an opportI1nitv to observe Holy Week
without having their minds diverted
by the trial.
Rapi is the only one of the prison
ers who scoffs at religion.

FOR LEADERS
OF DEMOCRACY
President Jefferson Davis
Tells Object of National
Co1legemen's League
To Gust from Power Old
Fossils Who Get Drag
Through Rings and Pat
rOnage.
Especial from United Press }

Washington, April S-A grand nephew
Of the President Of the Confederacy,
whose name he bears, Warren Jeffer-
son Davis, a young Virg1nian, has sud
denly sprung into prominence as the
president Of the National Collegemen's 6
League. He will preside at celebra-
ton of Jefferson's birthday, next
Thursday, at which Speaker Champ
Clark will be the chief guest. Davis
today wrote the following explanation
Of the purposes Of the league, for the
United Press:
By W. Jefferson Davis.)
Too many of the men now holding
important political positions are too
old, too calloused, TOO Indifferent. They
remain in power through the medium
of rings and patronages. Many OF
these men seem to have entirely for
gotten the original voters who elected
them Those who remember don't
care.
There are too many men high in Of
flee whose entire training has been
along the line Of politics to the elimi-
nation of statesmanship. They have
become leaders, such as they are,
through merit.
The Collegen1en's League expects to
CHduSO tIllS.
We are for each other and we in
tend to stand by each other. In short,
we are going to oust the men who are
too old and too inefficient and fill their
places with youngsters, If you will,
who have been trained in the broader
sciences in university and in state
craft. by our league.
And when we stand together we are
certain sto make our influence felt.
Every four years the colleges of this
country send out enough men to turn
the tide Of a national election. Last
year coNegemen actually won for DEM
ocracy in Maine.
Speaker Champ Clark, W. Jennings
Bryan, Governor woodrow Wilson and
practically all the real Democratic
leaders of today know that the satur-
MALTA Of the young man in politics is
at hand. Most of these leaders are
members OF the advisory board Of our
league The Republicans have not
yet awakened to the young mans
power, but the Democrats have. They
showed it in the recent election of
Luke Lea to the United States Senate
from Tennessee This is only one in
stance Soon there will be many.
Old and inefficient men have been in
power too long.

Mr.. Houston. who is chairman Of the

York six members, respectively.
It Is expected that the measure will
be passed before adjournment today.
