CAMORR|ST TRIAL
 IS NOISY
WITNESS PITCHES VOICE ABOVE NOISE TO CRY HIS DENIAL
 OF CHARGE.

VITERBO. Italy, March 29. - The entire sitting in the trial of the Cam. orrists was occupied today In the fur ther examination of Gennaro Abba temaggio. whose testimony was con- stantly interrupted by shouts from the prisoners cage.
 The president of the court, Sig nor Bianchi, interrogated the wit ness at great length during the af- ternoon concerning contradictions in his statements made at different times To the question of the pres dent as to whether he suffered from epilepsy, Abbatemaggio replied in the negative.
 Here is military certificate, said President Bianch,, stating that you left the army after three attacks of epilepsy"
 Then did It purposely to be sent home from the army" said the witness.
 The lawyers for the defense jumped to their feet shouting:
 Then you deceived the military, and you are now trying to deceive the judicial authorities"
 Prisoners Radiant.
 During the questioning of Abbate- maggie by the president, the pris- oners were radiant in the belief that the severity with which the presi- dent selected disputed points for explanation was good omen in their behalf.
 Giuseppe Salvi, who is one of those charged with being directly of Cunpn- To and his wife, kissed his hand to the president, while Erricone, the Camorrist leader, explained:
 The cylinder of the photograph Is exhausted
 Abbatemaggio's examination was interrupted by Dorado Sortino, enc of those alleged to have killed the Cuoccolos, who asserted that the ln- former had declared that Sortino's brother was member of the Cam orra.
 "You Are a Liar," He Shouts.
 Rising from his seat in the prisoners cage, Sortino shouted:
 You are a liar, My brother Is one of the worlds greatest sculptors. He lives in Paris, where he Is the intimate of notables.
 This gave excuse for tumult, the other prisoners and their lawyers crying out: "Abbatemaggio is cal umniator"
 The informer, recognizing trick to impair his testimony, raised his voice above the chorus, yelling
 "I never said that Sortino's broth CT was a Camorrist."
 The confusion continued and the president was compelled to suspend the sitting.
 The policy of the accused Is to catch Abbatemaggio in contradic- tions, or untruths, if only in sec ondary matters and so discredit his whole story.
 CHICAGO, March 29 Chicago Italians, under threats of death, have contributed s100,000. it is believed, for the defense of Luigi Arena. and his brother Camorrists on trial at Viterbo, Italy.

TAX IT.

There is a jolly Saxon proverb
 That is pretty much like this That a man Is half in heaven
 When he has woman's kiss. But there's danger in delaying
 And the sweetness may forsake it So I tell you bashful lover,
 If you want a kiss, why take 1t. Never let another fellow
 Steal a march" on you like this Never leave laughing maiden
 When she's spelling for kiss; There's a royal way of kissing
 And the jolly ones who make it Have motto that is winning
 If you want kiss, why take it. Any fool can face cannon,
 Anybody wear a crown, But man must win woman,
 If he'd have her for his own. Would you have the golden apple? You must find the tree and shake
 1t,
 If the thing is worth the having,
 And you want kiss, why take 1t. Who would burn upon the desert
 With forest smiling by? Who would give his sunny summer For bleak and misty sky? O, tell you there is magic
 And you cannot, cannot break it, For the sweetest part of loving
 Is to want a kiss and take it.

BEERY KISS WEES

AUTHOR OF "LAvENDER AND OLD LACE" SAYS SERVANTS
 ARE BETTER TREATED.

CHICAGO, March 29. - Man is a cheap skate, and woman almost is as bad"
 This doesn't sound much like Lavender and Old Lace" but it was the author of that "sweet-scented manuscript" Myrtle Reed McCul' tough, who said it il effect to tho somewhat scandalized members of the Ravenswood Women's club. The author was outlining her views on matrimony.
 The wife" she sad, "gets her board, her clothes, and a few kind words, while her servant in the kit chen gets her board, her clothes and $7 a week If the average hus- band used the same language to his domestics as he does to his wife, his skull would be corrugated from collisions with the rolling pin
 The mans argument: Well, l support her. breaks down complete, ly before this state of facts. If any thing further were needed 1t might be pointed out that ke also supports the women in his office. His em- ployes do not feel under any partic- ular obligations to hin for that. Pay Better Than Beery Kiss.
 You would have great difficulty in finding 8 working woman in this great city willing to exchange her weekly pay envelope for her employ CTS whispered darling and his beery kiss. Marriage in a good many cases is a gold brick game in winch the man exchanges that intangible thing called love for the wife's real service.
 The modern woman is suffering from atavism. Modern living eondi tions have brought this about. His tory has repeated itself, and women are back to the cave-dwelling age The up-to-date flat is the troglodyte's cave embellished with open plumb ing and electric lights,
 "Eighty-six per cent. of the wo men of the United States virtually are cave dwellers. They toll all day in the little caves they call home while the man roams the highways seeking whom he may devour.
 Slaughtered Birds Her Delight.
 She bedecks herself with the teeth and hides of wild beasts, and never is SO happy as when she is able to parade herself before the world glorified in the feathers ol some poor bird slaughtered by a brute of man.

SUFFRACETTES ARE
 WRATHFUL
INDIGNANT WOMEN TOSS HEADS AS MISS COUZlNS RAPS
 EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

SPRINGFIELD III. March % Shaping eyes and an indignant tess of the head from time to time evi- denced the displeasure of Mrs. Cath crime Waugh McCulloch, Miss liar riet Grim and other suffragette lead CTS, as they listened to the address of Miss Phoebe Couzins, of Washing ton, D. C., in the hall of represent atives this morning.
 In language keenly sarcastic, Miss Couzins eXcoriated equal rights and votes fer women. Her address was the first argument presented in the session against woman suffrage by a woman. Few suffragette leaders were present when Miss COuzins be- Can speaking. In short time the galleries and lobby of the main floor of the house were we'll filled with a female gathering.
 House Members Hear Speech.
 Practically the entire house mem bership heard the speech in which Miss Couzins argued that the en- trance of women into politics has been untenable and not productive of good results. Several senators also occupied seats in the body of the house and heard the speech,
 Mrs. McCulloch and Miss Grim oc, cupied seats upon the flor in front of the speakers stand. Both busied thems elves in taking extensive notes. At the conclusion of her speech Miss Couzins left the house without meet ing any of the suffragettes.
 When did you experience your change of heart on this burning question:" was asked the warlike Phoebe.
 Turned Down Governor Waite.
 After l had seen Governor Waite of Colorado pushed into oblivion by woman-handled gang of woman voters-the very women who bene- fited by the suffrage he had gained for them" replied the militant Phoebe.
 Miss Couzins has established head quarters in the bridal chambers of the St. Nicholas. She has been in conference with Senator Beall of Alton, the stork mayor and the au- thor of the referendum amendment to the pending suffrage bill, and with Representative Chiperfield of Canton, who Is supposed to hold the house machine under his control
 Of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, Who re gently spoke In Denver, Miss Cou' gins says:
 Opinion ot Miss Pankhurst.
 "I know nothing which is working for the destruction of the Canadian reciprocity pact and an arbitration treaty with Great Britain so Eorcibly as this young woman rushing about this republic telling us of the caliber and attributes of the men of her land who kick women In the jaws and brutally murder them with their boot heels, while they are smashing windows and stoning lawmakers of the British empire as a lesses pas, time
 the British empire as lesser pas cuiine exhibit of monarchy which tells us that they are to keep the peace of the world, with this noble republic as the handmaiden of their bosh,"
