busy one as Samson enjoyed last week at
the Ak-Sar- Ben Den, when three big con-

Camorra Witness
Accuses Lawyer
Grimaldi Says Attorney for Defense
Paid Him for Swearing Falsely
Against De Angels.

NlTEBRO. Aug. 12-Alessandro Lioy, the
attorney for the defense, was the object
OF an unfriendy demonstration at today &
proceedings in the Camorra trial. Grimaldi,
formerly chief of the branch of the
Camorra at Castellamare. testified that
Lioy had bribed him to bear false witness
against Tomasso De Angels, 1t is charged
that the Csmorrists, wishing to divert sus-
picion from themselves, caused the priest
vitoszi, to falsely denounce De Angels and
Gaelano Amedeo as the murderers OF
Gennaro Cuocoolo and Slgnora Cuoccolo,
This IL the story sworn TO by Grimaldi:
A woman named Ansstasi was the COM
mon law wife OF De Angels. The two
quarreled and separated. The woman sub
sequently gained an influence over the wit
ness and induced him to join her in de-
nouncing De Angels as the murderer OF
the Cuoccolos in order that she might have
revenge on her former companion. Lioy
provided them with money as a reward for
their accusation. Later Grimaldi became
frightened at what he had done and said
that he was going TO confess, IIoy then
threatened him, saying that II he retracted
his lying statements the lawyer would have
him condemned for fraud in receiving
money under false pretenses.
Lawyer IIoy appeared momentarily
crushed by the revelations OF the witness
and was Kissed by the spectators. Later
he harrangued the audience. He said that
he hoped that justice and history would
Judge him and declared that he was a sec.

ATTACKED BY A WILD HORSE
What Happened to Man Who
Walked Across Nevada
sandhiIlH.

II has long been known that It Is a dan
gerous thing for a man to go on foot onto
plains where cattle range. The sight Of
such a strange creature generally brings
a rush in his direction. and he is trampled
to death. A resident of Winnemucca. New,
Harry Hogue, has had a demonstration
that Il is equally dangerous to go on foot
among Wild horses.
Hogue started out TO walk across the
sandhills TO a new camp near here He
was sighted by band OF wild horses. IL
he had been mounted or even had been
driving q wagon. he would probably have
seen no sign of that band except a rapidly
moving cloud Of dust. As II was. the ami
mails ran toward him, When within a
short distance. they stopped and stared.
Then out dashed big stallion, which made
several circ'es about him. and then charged,
with ears back and mouth open.
Hogue had q water bottle and stout
cane. There was nothing else on the bar
rem hill which he could use for defense,
AS the stallion rushed he threw the bottle
and the horse lodged, Hogue recovered
the bottle. and again made the stallion
dodge. lie did this several times, but
finally the bottle was broken with kick
When the horse charged again, Hogu /.
I.aped aside and used his stick. The ami
mai wheeled like a flash and drove a
pair Of heels perilously near his head.
These tactics we're repeated several times,
and the man barely missed death.
Hogue was almost exhausted when there
was a sudden panic among the other horses,
and they started away at a mad gailop.
The stallion turned and fled after them.
A wagon had appeared In the distance.
Hogue concluded not 10 finish his walk,
and was conveyed in the wagon baekoto

other steel Pools Discussed.
Mr.. Temple told Of the existence Of a
structural steel association In the United
States formed in 1878 and the steel shafting
pool. lie was confronted with a copy
of the structural steel agreement entered
into in 1907. This agreement apportioned
20 its members a percentage OF sales as
follows:
The Carnegie Steel company, 499s per
cent? Jones & Laughlin 1878 per cent; A.
g. p. Roberts company, 111s per cent;
Passiac Rolling Mil company, 8 per cent;
Phoenix Iron company, per cent; Cambria
Iron company, per cent; Universal Con
structlon company, ~ per cent? Pottsvile
Iron and steel company, 3 per cent; Cleve-
land Rolling Min company, 3 per cent
Under the agreement each member of
the pool was bound to make sworn state
ment OF It's production and shipments each
month. IL one member produced more
than its allotted share, he was forced to
pay a fine Of fivs-tenths OF l cent for each
pound of steel shipped over the allotted
amount.
Firms failing to ship up to their allot-
ment were paid five-tenths of cent a
pound for their shortages. These rates
later were changed to 3h cents a pound OF
81 a ton A guaranty fund of the pool was
provided, each member being assessed orig
inally $500 and $500 a month thereafter.
One portion of the agreement provides
that the New Jersey Steel and Iron com
pany and the works of the said New Jer-
sey Steel and Iron company, shall remain
imperative in the manufacture of certain
beams and channels during the life Of this
agreement, in consideration for which the
New Jersey Iron and Steel company shall
receive from this association the sum OF
$1,000 per month"
Says Gary Broke Up Pools.
Mr.. Temple declared that all these pools
ceased to exist in 1904, and he startled tho
committee when he declared they were
broken up by r. II. Gary.
What" Chairman Stanley exclaimed
do you mean Judge Gary. the chairman
Of the steel corporation board OF direetors2
tors2"
Yes, Judge Gary declared that he die
not believe in these associations. He SAID
they were no longer necessary or desirable
and he demanded the abrogation OF al
such agreements and the discontinuanct
OF business under them"
MIR. Temple produced In connection with
the structural steel agreement a price list
In which the country was apportioned and
different prices fixed for various sections
Under that agreement were the mem
bers of the association to adhere to the
price list?'
After the bitter warfare in the steel
business prior to 1897 1t was difficult to
hold anybody. but after 1904 I may say
there was no destructive competition"
Mr.. Temple further said there were many
violations of the pool agreements. The
Carnegie company he said never was
caught violating q pool agreement In
those days he said. every man in the
steel business carried a tomahawk"
THE greatest harmonizer in the steel
business" he said, was Mr.. schwab."

The fact that the outrage on Few occurred

Captain Harrison admits that he does not
h1o0oc whether Dr. Fox has been acting as pur-
chasing agent. Then, he had better leave it
to some one who knows more about the man
agement of the Home than he, the Secretary
Of the managing Trustees, claims to know.
How can he defend a system of which he
admits his ignorance?
Ny information is, that two-horse wagon
goes from the Home to Atlanta, weekly; and
that Dr. Fox buys the supplies at the stores
and, of course, at private sale.

maintenance of those Vets. [ am told that

of the modest It sometimes happens
that woman, returning from a European
trip, is compelled to undress to her very
shift, in the presence of suspicious officials
who suspect her of hiding valuable merchan-
disc in her clothing.
Under new rule recently made, an Ameri-
can returning from foreign tour, or residence
abroad must pay the tariff on everything that
he has in his baggage, over and above wear
ing apparel and personal ornaments valued at
500. In this way our remorselessly ravenous
Trusts endeavor to shut out even one extra
suit of good clothing, one foreign-made gown,
one frst-class watch, one really Oriental rug.
The practical effect of this outrageous new
rule will be, to tax everything excepting the
clothes that the traveller has On his person.
And he will probably be searched, lest he be
wearing two suits
So afraid are our manufacturers that their
monopoly of the home market will be i'm
paired, that they resort to the most extreme
measures to prevent foreign manufacturers
from reaching our people, unburdened by the
additional price which the Custom house duty
would compel the sender to charge. There is
every reason to believe that system of es-
pionage exists which calls into the service of
the manufacturers of this country, the spy
ing upon rich employees of the servants
in the household. [ cannot otherwise under

wood is furnished.
The beds are alice aoith ve1moi1o.
The spiders infest the walls.
There is not sound man among them; yet,
these old soldiers are required to gather and
bring in from the field the vegetables grown
on the place.
The reports made to the Governor are said
to be tissues of lies. The Board meetings
are secret; and there is really no way in which
the victims of this petty and despicable
tyranny can reach the public, epceptiag the
one they haze chosen.
My interest in the matter is humanitarian,

Those Veterans fought for Dixie when they

If the heart of old Georgia does not fire
with indignation at the way the bomb proof
soldiers are mistreating those who went to the
firing line and shed their blood for their coun-
try, [ will be much surprised.
But be that as it may, the Vets are entitled
to hearing, and their Home should be made
the subject of a thorough, impartial, PUBLIC
AND SPEEDY INVESTIGATION
And [ repeat it-a New Jersey Yankee

that [ should modify this statement by
adding that where citizen of this coun-
try goes abroad and purchases for his own
use foreign goods, which he brings back with
him for his own personal use, he cannot get
those goods released from the Custom-house
until he pays the same duty on them which
he would have to pay, were he intending to
offer them for sale at profit. Of course if
he purchased a suit of clothes, say in Eng
land, he would not have to pay Custom
house duty on them if he actually was wear
ing them on his return trip home; but, were
they in his trunk, or travelling bag, they
would be kept by the Custom-house officers
unless he paid the duty.
One most humiliating consequence of this
is that trunks and other receptacles for wear
ing apparel are always opened and ransacked
by Custom house officials. Not only is every
garment worn by men subject to this de-
testable search and handling, but the wearing
apparel of women and girls is made the sub
ject of espionage, of disrespectful use and
comment. It frequently happens that actual
brutality is insolently practised and the tears
of wrath and shame are brought to the eyes
