COMMITTEE WILL
 REPORT IN FAVOR
 OF COMPENSATION
House Chairman Denies De- spatch Which Says Com
 pensation Idea Is Doomed

Emphatically denying al dispatch enanating from Hartford, to the ef- feet that ''it has been officially an- nounced that Workmen's Compensa- tion act will not be passed by the present Legislature". Judge Elmore s. Banks of Fairfield. House chairman of the committee on Judiciary. stated to the Farmer this morning that it is the earnest desire of the joint com m1t,ee on Judiciary and Labor to re- port favorably some sort of an act along the lines of Workmen's Compen- sation
 There is no truth whatever in that report" declared Judge Banks in dis cussing the Hartford dispatch
 You may say for the committee that the subject of Workmen's Com pensation has not been settled at all. It is still under discussion by the committee. Furthermore, you may say that it is the earnest desire of the committee to draw up a suitable act iature''
 Senator Stiles Judson, Senate chair man of the Judiciary committee was out of town this morning and could not be reached
 Judge Banks statement brands the Hartford dispatch as absurd. Until the measure has been reported one 1t Is premature to make any official announcements concerning it. The facts that the committee is favorably disposed to the measure and that both the leading political parties are pledg- ed to it. and that both the n1anufac- turing and laboring classes have ap- peared in support of the measure. in chance of its passing the Legisla- ture.

IN STEEL CAGE AT MURDER TRIAL Most Sensational Criminal Cases in Italy's History Start
 Today 500 Police and Soldiers on Duty in and Around Courthouse Outlaws That Killed
 PetrOsini
Special from United Press )

V1terbO, Italy, March 1l-At 1t o'clock, this morning, three steel lined police vans, each containing 13 Cam orrist prisoners and each surrounded by mounted carbineers, whose out hanging sabres and guns sounded a warning to the thousands who. lined the streets. drew up in front of the old San Francisco church, which is being used as temporary house.
 This marked the beginning of the most sensational criminal trial in the history of Italy that of Enr!co Al fano and. several others in the Cam orra, for the murder of Gennaro Cuo- ccolo and his wife in 1906.
 Never before have such preparations been taken to guard man. The town is swarming with CamorTists who con- stitute the most feared criminal assO- citation in Italy. Another company of soldiers was brought into town, this morning, making the total of police and soldiers on duty nearly 500.
 steel cage has been built in the courthouse and the prisoners were thrust into this the moment they ar rived.
 To nip in the bud any attempt to assist or even communicate with the prisoners, forty soldiers surrounded the cage the moment the prisoners entered it. Each soldier sat with a carbine resting on his knee. Only the prisoners counsel were permitted to speak to them.
 Immediately upon, the opening of the case the jury panel began a des- perate attempt to escape jury duty. All sorts of excuses were given, most of them, however, being eliminated by Judge Bianchi.
 In an address to the jury panel, to- day. Judge Bianchi promised that the tion by the government but his words failed to reassure the men. The pri- soners are confident of acquittal des- bite the report today. that one of their number had made a complete confess sion duplicating those now under ar- rest and at least a half dozen others.
 It was not expected that the taking of testimony will begin before the middle of next week.
 The prosecution announced, today, that 1t expects not only to prove the murder of Cuoccolo and his wife by Alfano's band, but also that of Joseph tective who was shot to death in Pal ernlo. Its theory is that Petrosini was killed after an argument with the Camorrists in Palermo and Naples.
 Judge Bianchi, today, ordered that the prisoners be searched twice daily and that they be chained in groups enroute to and from the courthouse.
 Overruling all objections to jury ser vice, Judge Bianchi succeeded in im- panelling a jury with surprising speed. The work was completed by the mid de of the afternoon and the taking of testimony begun.

CLUBS MAY
 SELL AND NOT FEAR
There Will Be No Prosecu- tions Unless Liquor is Dis7
 pensed to Non-Members Liquor Agent Greenstein
Makes Attitude of Prose cutors Appear and Court Sanctions Nolle.

So far as I'm concerned, they car 20 as far as they like,'' said Attorney Henry Greenstein, prosecuting liquor agent when the question of the sale of Iiquor in clubs on Sunday was brought up again today. Greenstein ' nolled the charge of illegally selling liquor against Frank Callopy, the president of a social club with quart CTS in State street, between Main and Water streets. Callopy was arrested last Sunday. The police believed he was selling not only to members, but to outsiders as we'll.
 But the police could not present any tangible evidence to Greenstein that the club was selling liquor to others than members. hence he would not press the complaint. Judge Eos ter heard the circumstances as Greenstein understood them. and gave the nolle the approval of the trial. with Senator F. A. Bartlett as counsel. He was out on bail of $100 furnished when his place was raided last Sunday
 Unless the police can furnish me with evidence that liquor is dispensed in these clubs to others than mem bers. I'm not going to prosecute. What's the use? Even if I do secure a conviction in this court, the com ! mon pleas court throws the cases out, Look at the North End Gun club, and the Cedar, Creek Yacht club. These were test cases, and we were expect ing a trial of much interest But what happened? The cases were uolled before they ever came to trial"
 Attorney Greenstein reiterated his views as already outlined in the Farmer. that the excise laws of the state are sadly in need of repair. I've offered to cooperate with any of the civic organizations or citizens who wish to remedy existing condi- rions." said he. None has seen fit to take up my offer
 Mr. Greenstein said he understo 1d that his views were shared by Prose- cutting Liquor Agent Merritt. the only other prosecuting liquor agent in
 There are upwards of 40 clubs in Bridgeport organized the police say. under various names and different guises. the principal object of which is to provide drinking place for the Sabbath The saloon keepers, who are liable to prosecution if they open their doors on Sunday, and who pay heavy license fees, are piqued that the clubs. which pay no license other than the government tax, are able to sell on Sundays. Most of the clubs d do hig business.

 Mexico City, March 1.-The report is persistent, today, that the Mexican Congress will be convened in extra session, tomorrow, for tAe purpose of proclaiming marshal law in the States of Chihuahua and Coahuaila. In the event this is accomplished. Mexican troops will be rushed to the Texas border and encamp opposite American troops along the Rio Grande.
 Hartford, March 11-That a list of Connecticut National Guard officers the Mexican frontier, had been sub- mitted to the War Department, was tacitly admitted today. by Adjutant General Cole He refused to give out the list, of names stating that they would have to be given out by the Federal Department. The National Guard of the States have been invited to send officers to the scene of the t'maneuvers'' for the benefit of obser- vatiOn.
 Fl Paso, March 11-Colonel Cuellar, commanding the Federal troops, op- posing Francisco Madero near Grandes has surrendered his entire army to Madero according to announcement by the revolutionary junra, today.
 The junta declares that courier has arrived from Casas Grandes re- porting that Madero recaptured the town Wednesday night and that Cuel- lar capitulated after a passive resis- tance.
 The courier also stated that there a1 inc rectos in the field and that Madero has dispatched couriers to bring them all togther into one body for an at- tack on Chihuahua

His denial. which was in the form of an authorized statement,'' did not reach the extent of denying that there was any kind of an agreement between the two na- tions. Limanteur declared that the report that Japan was financing the revolutionary movement in Mex ico was "to laugh" He again insist ed positively that there never could be intervention in Mexico by the Uni ted States and said that the 'maneu- vers'' were understood in Mexico to be for the purpose of starving out the insurrectos in northwestern Mexico. The Limanteur statement was as fol- lows:
 .aTo my mind. the association of the government of Japan with the govern ment of Mexico is absurd. Officlal denials have been issued by represen- tatives of both the Japanese and Mex ican governments that Mexico has given any privileges to Japan that should cause apprehension on the part of any other government.
