 BRIBE COMMITTEE

Springfield. H., March S0-An ap- propria tion by the general assembly will be necessary before any of the ex- renses incurred by the senate bribery committee can be met In view of the antagonism which the house h olds for the investigation it is doubtful whether 1t will aid in making an appropriation to meet the expenses of the commit tee.
 The fact that the appropriation made In the early session for committee ex- penses has become exhausted became known today when Lieutenant Gov ernor Oglesby asked tho attorney gen erals advice IS to whether he should sign committee expense vouchers which have been presented to him.
 The appropriation for committee expenses having become exhausted it is the attorney generals opinion that 1t will be necessary to pass an addi- tional appropriation act before the lieu tenant governor can legally approve any Of the expense bills presented by the Helm committee.

THE CAMORRA WAS
 WELL ORGANIZED

Viterbo, Italy, March 30-According to the revelations of Abbatemaggio. who is appearing as a witness against his form
 CT associates in their trial for murder, Naples is divided into II Camorrist re-
 gions, each having it's camorrist her-
 archy.
 In each district a member of the or
 ganization is daily entrusted with the
 maintenance of order among those af- fiiated with the Camorra His powers and influence are greater than those of the police or carahinieres as he is ex-
 pected to denounce those who commit
 disorders and thus compromise the as
 sociation which is destined for more im-
 portant enterprises.
 The entire afternoon was taken up with the evidence submitted by Abbate-
 maggie at the various investigations the council for the defense endeavoring to
 trap him in contradictions, but the wit
 ness maintained his composure and gave a good account of himself, energetically refuting their remarks.
 Gennaro Abbatemaggio was cross-ex
 amined at today's sitting of the court of assizes, which is trying the 36 Ca morrists for the murder of their treach- erous associates, Gennaro Cuoccolo and 1 his wife.
 l Most of the questions asked by Presi- 1 dent Bianchi and the lawyers of the de- | fense concerned matters of secondary | importance and were intended to inn
 peach the informer. The latter stood the | ordeal very well.
 Lawyer Tore of counsel for the de- ! fense today received an anonymous let | ter in which the writer attempted to prove what has before been asserted by the other prisoners, that the carbineers
 who ran down the Camorrists had manu- l factured the Cuoccolo ring evidence.
