RETAILERS To
: HOLD MEETING
At NASHVILLE
SOUTHERN MERCHANTS TO HOLD
BIG CONVENTION IN TEN.
NEsSEE CITY.
Parcels Post Question Most important
Subject to Come Up at the Ses.
sion-other Vital Matters Also on
the Program.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 4.-The re-
tail merchants CT the southern states
will hold four days convention in
Nashville, beginning on Feb. 2S and
continuing through March 3, for the
purpose of considering the parcels
post bill now pending before the Unit
ed States congress in relation to it's
effect on their business. Though the
movement as definitely launched is
hardly more than a week old, more
than 5000 retailers, throughout the
southern states, have signed the call
for the convention, anG the number
of signers would have been much larg-
er but for the fact that the work of
presenting the situation to the retail
ers throughout the large territory
was necessarily slow.
An executive committee of SO from
the states of Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Flori-
da, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
has been selected, and Robt L. Burch,
of Nashville, editor of the Merchant
and Manufacturer, has been named
as the chairman.
Oppose Parcels Post.
Though the purpose of the conven-
ton as stated is to gather the views
of southern merchants in concrete
form, it is fact well known that the
convention will take the form of or
ganized opposition to the passage OF
the parcels post bill. Southern retail
ers realize the fact that the passage
of the bill would mean the Concentra-
tion of business in the hands OF a few
big retail mail order houses at the
north and east retardation of south
ern progress. destruction Of many re-
tail and wholesale merchants in this
territory and the injury Of all inter-
ests in the country and small towns.
At bottom, the purpose is to be able
to say definitely to southern congress
men and senator's, The interests of
your constituency demand the defeat
of the parcels post BILL
A number of prominent men, gov
ernOrs, senators, congressman and
business men particularly well in
formed as to the significance of the
hill, will address the convention.
Other Vital Questions.
While the parcels post question is
paramount, other questions of vital in
terest to merchants will be discussed
by heads Of successful business
houses in southern cities.
The manufacturing and jobbing in
terests of Nashville and of other cities
are in thorough sympathy with the
movement. The jobters and manu-
facturers of this city have joined with
the retailers to entertain the thou
sands who will attend the convention
During the four days, banquets, lunch
cons, theater parties, parades and 9th
cr forms Of entertainment and
amusement will be provided.
Low rates to the convention have
been made by all southern railroads.

lief is expressed that Mrs. Amanda
Harrison, who was pursued, captured
and returned here on the charge of

Remarkable statements made in the
woman's confession, the authorities
believe, is evidence that she suffers
from mental afflictions, which call
for only punitive treatment. Mrs.

that she was informed, through divine
revelation, that Saufiley was alive in
his grave and it was her duty to res
cue him.

PRIEST ON THE STAND.
Giro Vitozzi Testifles at the Trial of
the Camorrists.

Viterbo. April 6.-Ciro Vitozzi. the
priest, was called in the court of
Assizes today to explain his alleged
connection with the Neapolitan Cam
ORA. 1t was Vitozzi who secured the
release of Enrico Alfano, Giro Alfano,
Ibeli and Rapi when they were first
arrested charged with completely in
the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo and
his wife. The priest went to the au-
thorities and said he had learned in
the confessional the identity of the as
sassins and that the men under arrest
were innocent. He was believed and
not only secured the freedom of his
friends. but subsequently denounced
De Angels and Amadeo as the muir
derers.
AS he testified today vitozzi could
not or would not control his emotions
and, aided by his attorney, who inter-
rupted with counter charges against
the Carabineers. caused such an up
roar in the court that President Bian-
Chi was forced to suspend the sitting.
The priest has suffered physically
from his long confinement in prison
and when he was summoned to the bar
he advanced slowly, leaning on his
cane. At his elbow was his physician,
who explained to the court that he
would have to give his patient frequent
stimu1ants to save him from fainting.
Nevertheless, the prisoner spoke in
strong voice. He proclaimed himself
innocent, expressing surprise that the
fact that he was the Godfather of Er-
ricone should have been used against
him. He had never done wrong and
knew evil only as a servant of the
church must know it in order to fight
it successfully.
when I was arrested he con-
tinued, ST petitioned the Queen Moth

who died in Jail, Erricone rose and in
a voice charged with emotion, asked
permission of the court to leave the
room. The president ruled:
"Erricone is a man and must show
his strength. 1t is impossible to allow
him to leave the court every time the
name of his dead brother is men

Erricone. however, explained that it
was not the hearing of his -brother's S
name that got on his nerves, but that
he did not wish to be present when
reference was made to the woman
whose name had been linked with that
of "poor innocent Giro" The presi-
dent permitted him to withdraw in the
custody of Cara bineers. At this point
Signor Pistolesi, attorney for Vitozzl
broke in with the assertion that the
witnesses against his client had been
bought and that he could prove it.
This brought forth denials from the
prosecution and in the hubbub that
