Italy Opens War Upon Camorra

Viterbo, Italy, Jan. 1l.-Detachments
of police and carbineers, both heavily
armed, surrounded the station here to-
day in anticipation of the arrival of 80
members of the Camorra, who are to
stand trial for the murder of James
Cuocolo, leading member of the band,
who had incurred the vengeance of the
Camorrists for alleged acts of treachery.
Cuocolo's body was found on the sea-
shore near Naples in June, 1906, and
the mutilated body of his wife was dis
covered shortly afterward in a house
nearby.
Extraordinary precautions had been
taken by the authorities to guard the
prisoners and to prevent any attempt
at release. They have been in close
confinement for more than three years.
and their friends and relatives gathered
at the station. Police detachments
were stationed at various poin Is and
when the train arrived from Naples
there was a scene of riot and disorder.
1t was known that nothing would be
left undone to effect rescue, and
orders had been issued to put down any
such attempt by whatever means
necessary.
The prisoners descended from the car
in. groups of five, chained together.

of the state.
When residing in Missouri, Elkins
taught school and to this circumstance
owed his life from one of the most
thrilling situations of his eventful life.
Riding one day toward the close of the
Civil war along lone road in the
western part of the state, he was seiz-
ed by squad from the band of the
Confederate guerrilla, Quantrell. He
was charged with being a spy and the
penalty was death. Fortunately for
him he was placed in the care of two
brothers who recognized the young
man as their former teacher.
Appreciating his peril they contrived
his escape. The senator's new found
friends were Jim and Cole Younger,
who afterward became noted as the
most daring of the band of outlaws led
by The James brothers. When, after
the close of the war, the Youngers
were captured and sent to prison on a
life sentence for robbing a bank in
Minnesota, Elkins recalled their kind
ness to him. He exerted his influence
to procure their release and ultimately

Moderate Use of Tobacco Not Bad

The results of an investigation of the
effects of smoking on students of
Columbia university of the state of
New York, which was made by DIR.

in the Popular Science Monthly,

about SO per cent, of whom smoked.
DIR. Meylan points out at the be.
ginning of his article that his chief
aim was to determine if smoking ex.
erted any influence upon the physical
and mental characteristics of college
students. He does not try to present
the moral or economic sides of the
question. He examined 223 students,
lis of whom smoked. The age at
which they acquired the habit varied
from one at seven years to 18 at six
teen years, 80 atseventeen, 16 at nine
teen and one at twenty-one.
The average physical measurements

Dynamiters Indicted by Grand Jurors

The grand jury in the Los Angeles
Times explosion case returned 22 in
dictments late Thursday.
All of the indictments charge murder
or connection with that crime.
1t is not likely that the names of any
of the indicted persons will be made pub.
lie until after arrests have been made.
1t is believed large number of San
Franciscans have baen indicted.
Wholesale murder, the outcome of a
dynamite plot, is understood to be the
charge set forth in all the indictments,
but it is believed not more than three OF
four pen are named in the true bills.
The eturn of the Indictments today
was the elimination of disaster that
excited the people of Los Angeles to a
degree that for few days bordered al
most upon panic, and resulted in the Of
fering of rewards aggregating $lO0. 900.
Union labor, which the Times and its
proprietor had opposed, was injected in
to the situation, and when the special
grand jury was impaneled Oct 25, it
was immediatly confronted with two
conflicting theories. One of these,
supported by the findings of an investi-
eating committee appointed by Mayor
Alexander, was that the Times plant
had been blown up by dynamite con-
spirators.
The other, presented by committee
named by the State Building Trades
convention, then in session here, was
that gas was responsible.
More than 40 witnesses, the majority
of them identified with the union labor
movement, were summoned from San

More than ten agents of the depart

several well-knOwn financiers may re-
suit on a charge of violation of the
United States neutrality laws. The

social scale from dandy to Iazzarone.
Chief among them was Enrico Alfano,
better known as Ericone, head of the
Camorra, who was arrested in New
York in April 1907, by Detective
Petaosino. He appeared thinner and
ghastlier than ever. He was wrapped
in heavy furs and seemed hardly able to
stand.
The mob, temporarily held in check
by a show of authority, broke into cries,
shrieks and excrations at sight of the
prisoners, and attempted to break
through the lines to get near them, but
the carbineers pushed them back with
their guns. Intense excitement reigned
and the surging mass of people threat
ened an attack upon the police.
The prisoners shook their manacled
fists and raised their voices almost as
loudly as their friends and relatives.
The wife of Mandriere, known also as
De Marinis, the most notorious Camor-
rist after Erricone, struck at carbineers.
The men were marched to prison,
surrounded by heavy guards, and the
crowds dispersed. Caputo, the marshal

Both houses of congress adjourned
early Thursday out of respect. to the
memory of Senator Stephen B. Elkins
of West Virginia who died in Washing
ton at his residence Wednesday night
after lingering illness. The senate
was in session only six minutes, ad-
journing until Monday. The house de-
voted half an hour to pressing business
and then adjourned until noon tomor-
row.
Senator Elkins' first experience with
the fatal illness, the exact nature of
which was never determined by the
physicians, followed his arduous work
on the railroad bill in senate last win
ter. He was stricken in New York
and was hurried to his magnificent
home at Elkins. w. Va, where family
and surgeons exhausted every resource
of wealth and medicine in vain at
tempts to check the ravages of the i'll.
ness.
The senator's strong constitution en-
abled him to rally several times during
the summer. On November 9 he insis-
ted upon being brought to Washington,
although he was so weak that he had
to be carried from the train to his auto
mobile. His family was induced to be-
lieve that he was improving until last
evening, when a sudden relapse
brought death in few hours.
Senator Elkins was born in Ohio,
September rs, 1841. While very young
he went with his parents to Missouri.
He was one of the first graduates from
the University of Missorri and as early
as 1864 he went to New Mexico where
he lived for several years, becoming in
succession Attorney general, United
States District attorney territorial sem
ator and delegate to congress from that
territory.
While serving as delegate to congress
Elkins married the Oldest daughter of
Henry Gassaway Davis, then senator
from West Virginia. The following
year he established a home in that
state and there built up large fortune

Ask for Review of Their Conviction

the court of appeals to send up the en-
tire case for review.
Mr.. Spooner and associate counsel
urge in their petition that questions are
raised in the case which are of great
importance to the business world.
Hope is expressed that "the distress.
ing uncertainty" Of the penal sections
uf the Sherman anti-tfust NV may be
removed in part by the Forthcoming
decisions in the Standard Oil and
tobacco cases. but fear is voiced that
those decisions may be to late to remedy
the wrong claimed to have beeninfiicted
upon the officers of the Naval Stores
company.
A review is requested, because, in
the first place, the Sherman law, as a
penal measure, is characterized as
"bad law" even thought it is not an
unconstitutional one" and in the second
place. because the indictment was bad
in that it did not charge an over act
committed in futherance of the alleged
conspiracy.
The badness" of the law is alleged
largely upon the claim that it does not
contain an adequate description of
any criminal offense. The principle is
advanced that a law which names crime
ought to be 80 explicit that all men
subject to its penalties may know what
acts it is their duty to avoid.
Because no over act is charged to
further the alleged conspiracy, it is
urged that no offense against the
United States was contained in the in
dictment.

Officers of the American Naval

Spencer P. Shotter, chairmen Of the
board of directors; J. S. Cooper-Meyers.
vice president; George Boardman,
treasurer, and Carl Miller, manager of
the company's branch at Jacksonville,
Fla.
Shotter and Meyers, according to the
petition, are the first sentenced to i'm
prisonment for violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, whose cases ever came
before the Supreme court.
The petition was filed by former
Senator John c. Spooner and Samuel B.

The officers were convicted in the

southern district of Georgia on charges
of conspiracy to refrain and TO mono

in connection with the American Naval

One of the novel manufacturing de-
velOpments of the west has been the
establishment of alfalfa meal mills
throughout the alfalfa growing country.
The chief market for the product of
these mills has been in the east and
central west, where wheat bran is a
standard dairy COW feed.
Alfalfa is SO nearly equal to bran
in its nutritive value, and can be bought
where it is grown for SO much less,
that there has been good field for
capital in reducing it to meal snd ship
ping it in sacks where it is not grown.
Coincident with the development of
1khis trade have come numerous inquir-
Yes as to who ther it will pay farmer
who grows alfalfa to cut or grind the
hay for feeding on his own place, or
whether it will pay him to haul his hay
to q nearby mill and have it ground.
In response to these inquiries the
Colorado Agricultural college has con-
Quoted experiments with cut or chopped
hay for number of years, and is now
entering upon series of experiments
with ground hay.
Three lots of yearling Hereford
grade steers, ten in each lot, are being
fed on rations precisely alike. save that
one lot gets whole hay, another lot
cut hay and the other lot ground hay.
Three lots of lambs, 100 in each lot
are being fed on similar plan. Four
lots of spring shoats are being fed to
test the value of alfalfa meal for fat
tening hogs. One lot is being fed corn
and wheat shorts, equal parts by
weigh; another is being fed ground al
falfa hay, one part, and hulled barley
two parts; third is getting ground al

falfa hay, one part, hulled barley four
parts; while fourth is on gaound all
falfa. one part, and hulled barley six
parts.
These experiments will give a good
idea as to the relative value of ground
cut and whole hay. They will be re-
peated in order to assure correctness
in results, and it is believed that they
will furnish mnch needed knowledge
concerning the value of ground hay.
