CRUCIFIED AND BURIED ALIVE.
Alleged Dreadful Barbaritics Practic-
cd by Turks and Arabs.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Storles OF
almost Incredible barbarities practic-
ed by Arabs and Turks are related
in dispatches received at the Italian
embassy here. In dispatch receiv-
ed to-day from Rome the Italian min
lister of foreign affairs describes al
legged atrocities practiced on the Ital-
ian wounded, which include cruel
flXion and burial alive. Women, it
is said, take part in the perpetra ton
Of the cruelties.
Bodies Horribly Mutilated
The dispatch, which is signed by
Signor San Giuliano, minister of for
eign affairs. follows:
Near the mosque OF Hani, where
the medical post of the Twenty-sev-
enth battalion of Bersaglieri had
been located, and in its vicinity 2S
bodies of our soldiers were found.
They were horribly mutilated, cruc..
fed, with their throats cut open, i'm
paled, torn to pieces and dIsnlember-
ed. Amongst them there was the
boiy Of surgeon lieutehant.
"In the Arab cemetery near the
place where the fourth company Of
Bersaglieri was located, seven bodies
of Bersaglieri were discoyered. They
had been inferred alive with the
heads out Of the earth. The body
Of one Of these shows that he had
been terribly tortured.
'It showed many shots and dagger
wounds; the eyes had been pulled
out and threaded and tho eye''
sown to the eyebrows. This body
shows terrible spasmodic contrac-
tions. Another one had one arm out
Of the earth from which the hand
had been cut off. The body of n
Gersaglieri had been torn to pieces.
"a captains cap has been found; !;
its owner was identified by the cor
poral Pasqui, who escaped miracu-
lously after remaining over four
hours in ditch. He testified that
among the ferocious horde we're

HE SAYS HE MEANS BUSINESS.
Congressman Stanley is Hot After the
Big Interests.

Washington, Dec. t-Having struck
q trail in tho steel trust investiga-
ton, which leads to the front door of
the house Of John d. Rockefeller, a
tremendous effort is being made by
powerful interests to bring the probe
to a halt.
Chairman Stanley, OF the investi-
eating committee, declares that moth
ing could stop the truth from COM
ing out.
"The Sixty-Sccond Congress Is, in
my opinion" said Mr.. Stanley, "pe-
culiarly responsive to the will Of
the people. IT was elected by them,
and If anything distinguished It
from its predecessors, it Is its abso-
lutte devotion to the interests Of the
masses. and not to the interests Of
the favored few who endeavorcd to
prevent their election.
There has not been since the
war a Congress which was more
apt to grant equal rights to all and
special privileges to none am not
in the least disturbed by the threat
ened prospect Of tho House sup
! pressing the facts which this COM
mittec has bean enabled to obtain and
has mot yet presented to tho coun-
try.
"ThcF committee investigating the
United States Steel Corporation is
neither endeavoring to convict nor
acquit this corporation; it is simply
endeavoring to ascertain the truth.
If the steel corporation has not yet
violated the law, then it will welcome
this opportunity to demonstrate its
obedience to tho law in advance of
a litigation which will take years to
determine, and If it has violated tho
law 1t will use all OF its power and
all its immense wealth to silence a
committee which can neither be ca
joled. deceived nor corrupted.
ut has been argued that this In
vestigation will assist the depart
ment Of justice. This may be true.
The country probably thinks the
department Of justice needs the
assistance"

WRONG COUNT


tic nearly deprived that excellent hos
telry, the Alaska Grill Of ducks for
dinner last Sunday.
Andrew Delgart shot the ducks for
the dinner all ,;ght, and he shot plenyy
indeed he Shot one more than plenty
and that 8 why Tom Radonich 3 board
ers came near getting none at all.
''You see, it was like this said
Delgart to Commissioner Winn and
Assistant District Attorney Folsom, II
made miscount. I thought / shoS q
ducks on Friday, and | aimed to shoot
four on Saturday. am sure | only
shot four ducks Saturday morning, SO
it must have been % ducks 1 shot Fri
day.
Delgart put the ducks aboard Tom
Knutson IS boat Saturday morning
when Knutson started for town ard
the vigilent Adam Schneider saw them
lying on the float Adam Schneider
draws salary for catching duck hunt
ers who have had too good luck and he
took the ducks and Knutson to the
court house. Delgart went along and
confessed that he shot the ducks.
Judge Folsom was satisfied from the
story Delgart told that no jury would
convict a hunter for little matter O.
one duck-that no Alaska jury would
be willing to send man to jaii be-
cause he happened to be a little weak
in arithmetic By this narrow margin
Tom Radonich got the ducks.
The bird law opens wide field fer
speculation, and Judge Folsom called
attention to some possibilities after
Delgart had left with the ducks.
"For instance. said he, "suppose
four men go out for a days sport and
between them they kill hundred
ducks-say IS ducks apiece. That's
lawful. The gas boat operator comes
along, picks up the 100 ducks and
tax es them aboard the boat. Then he
has in his possession more than 25
ducks, and that s against the law
So, when four men 60 out in a gas
boat and kill 100 ducks, each hunter
should keep his hands on his own
ducks, or his eyes peeled for Adam
and Eve-for the game warden and his
launch.
And again, said the prosecuting
attorney, "suppose a man gets %
ducks in say, seven shots. Now he is
entitled to two more ducks. A flock
fly past and he blazes away. Unfort-
unately, say, he kills four at the one
shotl0
BY that fatal shot, an upright citi-
zen has innocently become criminal
"Suppose again." continued Judge
Folsom, "on Saturday morning Tom
Radonich had Is ducks, 20 of them
are roasted for dinner The chef says
that they are all eaten. Sunday morn
ing Tom buys 90 more ducks, but it
turns out that one duck was left over
