 Jacob Kaiser. a naturalized American citizen, imprisoned in Mexico City on a charge of melting rebellion, has been released under bond
 Reports of the situation in Mexico that reach President Taft are not encouraging and today the cabinet discussed the sit uation at length. American owners of ranches in Mexico have appealed to this government for permission to bring cat tie across the Rio Grande in bond, and the matter was referred to Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. MT. Wilson is in- terested because of his efforts to keep tick-infested herds of cattle out of Texas.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE D -~~~~-~-~---~-~---~-~-~~~~ in America appeared to recognize MT. Mcclellan and one, addressing him in English, said:
 We are innocent"
 The informer said that the Camorra existed in a well-organized form both outside and inside the prisons of Italy. The first question put to a convict when he enters the prison was, he said, whether he was a Camorrist. and if so. whether he was a full fiedged Camor- rfst. or Picciotti, the latter being one who has not taken the final degree In the criminal society. Each Camorrist has under him 4s "Picciot.fs" or re- cruits who are on probation and who may become Camorrists proper only when they have proved their ability to commit crime without detection.
 The witness said the rank of the pris- oner Tn the society was asked in order that the Camorrists and tne Picciottfs might he grouped separately and com munication between the older members and the aspiring candidates be avoided
 Differenct Procedure | ''The whole criminal procedure differs from ours,' said MT. Mcclellan.
 Your court is not confined toJour rules of evidence and is able to eat many le- Edi hiiotS Wlln a speed -NeflCn IS certainly admirable. The most dramatic feature today was the confronting of Abbate- maggie with Sortino, the proceeding hay ing no parallel in Anglo-Saxon courts. Abbatemapgio impressed me as being abnormally clever. He stood the cross ,exsmination by President Bianchi and half dozen lawyers without one slip or contradiction. The other prisoners. like Abbatemaggio, are intelligent in ap- pearance. looking like a body of fairly prosperous business men
 q conversed with the priest Vitozzi. and never saw more expressive facial play or gestures. Alfano, the alleged head of the Camorra has as intelligent face as I have ever seen. He sits in the front row of the prisoners cage, dominating his associates, and handling them like a prompter in theatrical per- formance.
 ''The trial interested me profoundly. Its scope is more extended than the mere conviction of the murderers of Cuoccolo The Camorra itself is on trial and every true friend of Italy must earn estly hope that the admirable body of Carabineers will succeed in the end in their patriotic mission of purifying Ma ples."

Some pertinent uues- lions, such as the exact time of the presidents retirement, are said to be con- tained in the document as prerequisites to complete rehabilitation of the gov ernment. At first 1t was thought that the informal and indirect assurances re- ceived here as to President Diazs dis position to resign might be sufficient but radical leaders are insistent. espe. cially in view of the reports of rebel military triumphs in other parts of the republic. They say the negotiations at the Madero base of operations must bring satisfaction to the entire revolutionist party. Insurrecto leaders tonight did not deny that if Judge Carabajal brings official assurance of President Diazs re- tirement, a peace agreement can be ar ranged within 4S hours.
