FIGHTING
HONDURAS TREATY
Indiana Senator Fears Repe-
tition of Santo Domingo
Customs Scandal.
(American News Service)

Washington, May Ex-senator
Shively is having run-in with dollar
diplomacy" AS a member of the for
eign relations committee he has been
one of the senators who have stood out
against the proposed Honduras treaty
and has refused to be dragooned into
supporting 1t by the state department.
The plan of readjusting the Honduras
debt is to have committee of Amer
ican bankers, administer the customs
of that republic and apply percent
age towards the payment of the Hon.
duran public debt. The debt, by the
same plan, is to be refunded by a
Morgan concern, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
The new debt is said to amount to
[about ten million dollars, which the
Morgan concern will assume on the
basis of good interest and commissions
and control overs customs to insure
payment of bonds and interest. An
interesting feature of the Honduras
loan is that one million dollars of it
is unaccounted for, that is, the use to
which 1t is to be applied cannot be
learned. The state department refuses
to say and the Honduras government
will not say. 1t is assumed that it is
to be paid in commissions for nego-
tiating the Honduras loan in the JIN-
tied States. The method by which the
United States administered the Gus
toms of Santo Domingo is now being
aired before the house committee on
expenditures for the state department
which is conducting the investigation.
In santo. Domingo.
Dr. Jacob H. Hollander has been
found to have taken a fee from the
United States of. $4,000 and one also
| from Santo Domingo of 100000 for
services he rendered as an adjuster of
debts of the Dominican republic. In
addition the law firm with which Fran
els Lynde Stetson. J. P. Morgan's per-
sonal attorney, is connected, were at
the suggestion of Holllander and for
mer assistant Secretary OF State Bacon,
named as attorneys in the. United
Ctates for Santo Domingo and drew
one allowance of about .$150,000 for
'incidentals." In addition the Morton
Trust company was made depository
for the Dominican public monies. and
Kuhn. Loeb & CO., were made fiscal
agents at DR.. Hollander's suggestion.
What was left of Dominican monies
after DR.. Hollander and his banker
| friends were paid, went to pay such
creditors as Hollander recommended.
The whole matter has been reeking
with scandal in the state department
for two years or more. Shively and
some other members of the foreign
relations committee believe that a re-
petition Of the 'Santo Domingo scandal
should be avoided

| Their Testimony.

(American News Service)

viterbo, May 20.-Gaetna Amedio,
who according to Giacomo Ascrittore
aided Tomaso De Angels in the act
ual murders OF Gennaro Cuoccolo and
Maria Cuoccolo, held the center of the
stage at the Camorra trial today
Amedio4 was interrogated-- az to As
crittore's story. He admitted that he
had led the life of professional thief
and has served time in prisons, but
denied that he had hand in the kill
ing of Cuoccolo and his wife, ''the
beautiful Sorrentina'
Amedio has had the reputation of be-
ing one of the cleverest rogues in Ma
pies and has long criminal record
In his denials Amedio referred to
the Cuoccolo murders as an "aristo.
cratic crime"
II never had to do with such,", said
he humbly.
II am a man in a lowly station OF
life and it was never my good fortune
to associate with persons of high
standing in any respect whatever-nay
even to be their murderer"
Amedio denounced Ascrittore. He
declared that Ascrittore with master
ly cunning had arranged a conspiracy
to send him (Amedio) and De Angels
to prison for life in order to save En-
rico Alfano and the other Comorrists
accused. NJ. s-...-
Amedio and De Angels were first
brought into the net of the carabineers
in March of 1910. when they were de
nounced in Naples by mysterious
woman. who declared that, she had
knowledge of their connection with
the Cuoccolo murders. Father Giro
vittozzi, the Camorrist priest, came
forward and said that the two mer
had confessed the crime, to him. AS
crittore then admitted to the police
that De Angels and Amedio had also
confessed to him.

Charles declares the work can be done
for at least half the company's esti

statements Of the commissioners that
In case Mr. Charles's estimate was
much less than that of the company
then the county could see no reason
for changing the original specifica

company as suitable to it's interests.

ready to be submitted to the com
missioners at this meeting and pave
the way for the board drawing up ar
ordinance for the appropriation Of the
funds required, not more than $4,000
The county council must pass on this

vorably, as there has been a great

the council members within the pas
two or three months as to the need o.

probable that these pending and NOR,
important questions will be brought VI

I'VE are very much pleased. said
Morton c. Pearson, chairman of the

expect to make a big showing every
day from now on. 1t has taken some
time to get perfectly organized. but all
Of our men and women are at work
now. With what we are likely to re-

will be visited by teams of solicitors
who will have had the benefit of an

ton. 1t had been intended to launch
the campaign of this territory early
this week, but because of the press oi
business among those who are to con.
duct the canvass, it was found impos
sible to do SO. Instead, a preliminary
campaign of education was inaugural.
ed and this, 1t Is believed. will make
next weeks canvass more than ordi
narily productive. Chairman Pearson
feels that the people of Wayne county
are proud of Earlham college and that
they will support the institution in this
appeal.
'Earlham has big future and big
opportunity ii only it can throw off this
debt of $5O,00O." said Chairman Pear
