At noon Thursday the rays OF

shadow could be seen, but alas! the

by Gennaro Abbatemaggio,
the informer, when the trial of the

pathetic vein which later, under the

angry explosions
Attacking the testimony of the in
former. Alfano said in substance:
According to his own statements
Abbatemaggio had knowledge Of the
alleged plan Of murder and so might
have prevented the crime had he seen
fit to do so. 1t is absurd to say that
400 francs $500 was given to Abbate-
maggie, who took no part in the affair
and only $50 francs to the real muir
derers
Here Abbatemaggio interrupted with
the remark, "Alfano intended to buy my
silence" Alfano, suddenly Infatuated.
replied: IF | had been in position
to fear your revelations, | should have

House Adopts Resolution for
Investigation
AFTER A BRIEF DEBATE
Committee of Nine Is to Be Selected
All Questions Connected with Or
ganization, Capitalization, Etc,
Will Be Gone Into Exclusively,

Washington, May 1.-THE Stanley
resolution for an investigation of the
Urited States Steel corporation was
called up in the House yesterday and,
after brief debate, was adopted The
investigation as proposed will be most
exhaustive
Mr.. Stanley started the debate with
speech in which he roundly denounced
the stell corporation. The character OF
it's charter and the method of its organ
ization, he said, made it manifest
violation of the law as interpreted by
the Northern Securities case.
Referring to the supreme courts de-
eision of Monday in the Standard Oil
ease, holding that a reasonable" re-
straint of trade is lawful Mr. Stanley
said he would not discuss the law
passed by the supreme court Monday"
Mr.. Austin of Tennessee, while urg-
ing adoption of the resolution, spoke
fayorably of the trust He held that
great combinations of this sort were
necessary
Representative Graham of Illinois also
argued for the resolution
Representative Borland orr Missouri
in speaking for the resolution, criticised
the supreme court decision in the Stand
ard Oil case. He declared the court
had introduced words that the corpora
ton for fifteen years had been trying
to write into the law, and drew a
distinction between good trusts and bad
trusts. He said in answer to ques-
tions of Representive Martin, that he
believed the criticisms of Justice Har-
Ian were well founded.
The resolution gas adopted without
opposition. 1t provides for a committee
OF nine members, to be elected by the
House to make a sweeping inyestiga-
tion of the steel corporation, and all
questions connected with its organiza
tion and capitalization, and the like.
The committee has not been selected
It is believed that Representative Lit
tleton will be one of the committee
despite the reported opposition to him
by great financial interests

ridiculous and the small handful of fans

The seminary team presented an al

and total of fourteen men We're given
try-out Craig and Louis led their
teammates in elouting and both are
credited with three hits. In the second
round the former laced out home run
that caromed over the bank back Of
left field. Richardson, Lee, Priest and
Fiske touched the johnson twirler for
two hits each The locals also did some
consistent, though seldom brilliant,
fielding Two errors are credited to
them, and of these only one was cost
Ily
The visitors scored their first run
in the opening round and just for that
inning it looked dubious for the semin-
airy. Wath man down, Farrell singled
safely to right and was sacrificed to
second by p Stearns He reached the
third bag on passed ball and scored
when Scott slipped up on Walters
ground ball to third Washer the
next man, proved an easy out, Rich

The eighth inning saw the scoring Of
I the visitors second and last run. Far
rell again started something by slam
ming the pill right into right field for
| two bags p Stearns scrificed him to
second and the score came down when
Walters hit grounder to Richardson,
who ielded it perfectly to first. Aside
from these two innings, the visitors
never placed man on third
| Goddard scored twice in the second
on pass, sacrifice by Scott, and
Craig's home run The third inning was
round of festivities for the locals,
Singles by Fiske and Craig, two
sacker by Scott a base on balls and
errors BY Farrell and Walter netted a
total Of five tallies. Richardson and
Lee, singing in the fourth inning paved
the way for another pair. There was
lull in the run-getting during the
fifth and sixth, but in the seventh ses-
sion, Louis and Richardson singled, Lee
found Walters for double and Nc
Leay drew free one to first. These
combined with errors by Farwell and
Washer brought four more runs and
pushed the total up to thirteen The

Great bruises on the right shoulder,
arm and leg of the body and what APP

believe the man may have been the vic

that wire was bound tightly about
