lowing to say regarding his arrest:
"The city marshal did not give
me time 20 even protest. l asked
him II he had consulted the city at

duct services on that corner. He re-
piled that he did not have to. that
he was running things himself; that
the moving picture show man was
paying license to the city; that
should disperse at once or be ar

AN unwarr>nted and cowardly

by a large number of people who
have offered to testify against this
man should he be prosecuted Fur
ther, desire to state that we are
anxious to have the matter brought

pared to show that the arrest and

NO MORE KISSING OF FAIR
YOUNG MAIDS BY THE BOYS

Miss Mary G. Carson. principal OF
the Sheridan school Of Denver. has
started crusade, through the
Mothers congress, to stop kissing
games at parties given by school
children. Such games as post Of
fice", drop the pillow. picking
cherries" and "mRsuring ribbon"
are declared to lead to .mmoraiity
and are branded as not being fit for
the children Of cultured and refined
parents to indulge in at their even
ing entertainments.
Miss Carson saws that the Sheri-
dan school is not the only one which
is offending In this respect and de-
clares that she is confident of the
support Of all OF the other prin-
cipals and teachers in the new
movement, rs she has been assured
by many of them already that the
kissing games are being PLAYED at
evening parties by school children
all over the city.
The child must play" says Miss
Carson. and no one appreciates the
fact more than do. but he must
have supervision in his play. The
idea Of kissing and loving in every
game is ridiculous and should not
for one minute be tolerated.
Many of the parents. however,
have not the time to plan games
for their children. 1t takes time and
money to plan party OF games,
That Is the one great difficulty TO
overcome and that is one reason
that the Mothers congress is put
ting up such fight for the public
use OF the school after school hours.
The children should have some
place to go where they can enjoy
themselves in the proper manner

CROSS Examination OF
CAM0RR|ST INF0RMER
Attempts Made by Counsel of
Defense to lmpeach Gen.
mario Abbatemaggio

VITERBO, Italy, March S0.-Gennarro
Abbatemaggio, the Camorra informer
was cross-examined at today's sitting of
the court of the assizes, which is trying
the 36 Camorrists for the murder of their
treacherous associates, Gennaro Cuoccolo
and his wife.
Most of the questions asked by Presi-
defense concerned matters of secondary
Importance and were intended to inn
peach the informer. The latter stood the
ordeal very well.
Lawyer Tore, of counsel for the de-
Tense today received an anonymous let
ter in which the writer attempted to prove
what has before been asserted by the
other prisoners, that the carabiners who
ran down the Camorrists, had manufac-
tured the Cuoccolo ring evidence Ac-
cording to the police the ring had been
taken from the hand of Cuoceolo to be
sent to Luigi Arena in proof of the death
of the man whom Arena had denounced
as a traitor to the Camorrists. The cara
Diners swore that they found this ring at
the home of a woman companion of the
assassins.
AS proof that this evidence was false,
the writer of the letter states that Lit
tielo, a Gardiner of the legion of Naples,
being offended, boxed the ears of his
superior officer. Instead of being court
martialed he was sent to a hospital. be-
cause he had threatened that if he were
punished he would reveal the duplicity
of the officers of the legion. Subsequent
ly the letter states Littelio was declared
insane and removed from the army
