After forty-eight years Of search
ing, the supposed Morgan tunnel was
uncovered to-day by prisoners exca-
waiting for new cell blocks. Contrary
to history, it was found not to have
been a tunnel dug by the six men

cavated when the buildings we're
erected. 1t extended from the main
building to the old chapel. 1t did not
lead outside the walls.

Cammorist Prisoner Tears Out Glass
Eye and Hurls 1t at Judge.

Viterbo, Italy, April 21.-Of all
the methods adopted by the Camorrist
prisoners to excite sympathy or in
cite a riot, none surpassed in novelty
and effectiveness that of Gaeteno Els
posito, who, at the end Of a mad har-
angue, to-day tore a glass eye from
his head, and hurting it at the feet
of the president stampeded the
court. Then he fell in a faint, and
President Bianchi suspended the sit

Attempted t. Prove Alibi.
The prisoner attempted to prove an
alibi so far as the meeting at Bag
no!i was concerned. At the time he
was travelling, he said, between Mi
Ian and Rome. He gave q detailed
account of his ~wanderings prior to
the murder of Cuoccolo and wife,
and gradually wrought himself up to
fine frenzy. He concluded in sub
stance as follows:
ut is true that / concealed myself

as | am even now, from a disease. In
my boyhood ! lost one eye. l feared
that would die in prison from the
malady which had already seized me,
or what would be even worse, that
would lose my other eye"
Here the prisoner became hysteri-
cal, and sobbed violently, his face in
his hands. Suddenly he raised his
head and with a defiant movement of
the hand released the glass eye, and
throwing 1t on the floor before the
Judges bench, barred his face, dis
figured with old cuts, to the Mortified
spectators. Thus, for q few seconds,
he posed, and then, with a choking
cry, dropped to the floor in a faint.
AS opposite collapsed a tumult was
raised. From the steel cages the pris-
oners shouted, cried and cursed.

SPEECH
is ABOUT COWS
Senator MARITIME Heard for
First Time on Floor OF
Senate Yesterday.
PRICE OF MlLCH COWS
Debate on Proposed Canadi-
an Reciprocity Agreement
Jersey Authority.
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent )


Washington, May 3:-Senator
MARITIME, of New Jersey, made him
self heard In debate on the floor of
the senate yesterday for the first
time when he rallied to the support
of Senator Stone, of Missouri, during
the latter's argument in favor of
the proposed Canadian reciprocity
agreement. The Missouri senator
was quoting statistics from the re-
port prepared by the Tariff Board to
show that milch cows were valued
as highly in Canada as in the United
States, on the average. The claim
was disputed by Senators Smott, of
Utah, and Hepburn, of Idaho, both
of whom are bitterly opposed to the
reciprocity arrangement. The latter
declared that milch cows could not
be bought for much less than $3.50
per head in his section of the coun-
try. 1t was at this point that Sena-
tor MARITIME mixed up In the debate.
Farmer All His Life.
'I have been farmer all my life"
explained Mr.. MARITIME to the senate
after he had been recognized, "and
want to say that the statement
that the average price of milch cows
In the United States would run from
hundred to a hundred and fifty
dollars is monstrosity and absurd
ity. Throughout the State of New
Jersey, the great dairy districts of
Sussex county, New Jersey and
Orange county, New York, which is
the acme of the dairy district, the
average price will not range over
forty to fifty dollars. That there
are instances where cows bring over
500 I don't deny, but they are spec
ials. / have neighbor who paid
$2,100 for COW, but this Is an ex-
traordinary instance and cannot be
considered as an average price"
Senator Smoot interposed to de-
clare 'you cannot buy good milch
cow In my section of the country
for less than fifty to seyenty-five
dollars"
Mr. MARITIME replied: 81 can buy
you hundreds of them for forty to
forty-five dollars in New jersey
Here is chance for a trade at
once" tnterposed Senator Reed, of
Missouri.
Eyes, but freight charges and cost
Of transportation makes 1t an i'm
practicable proposition, answered
Senator Smoot
Senator Stone then resumed his
argument and refeS&ed to Senator
Marines statement to substantiate
the points he was making to the eff
feet that there is no serious discrep-
aney between prices that prevail in
Canada and in this country.
