Turkish massacres in 1895 furnished
relief to 10000 women and children.
Miss Barton in regard to her religious
creed, says that she firmly believes
in Jesus Christ, in Jesus of Nazareth,
who gave his life for sinners, but that
it would be hard for her to stop
there and believe hat this spark of
divinity was accorded to none others
of Gods creation, who, like the mas
ter. took on the living form. and like
him lived the human life"

CAMORR|STSARE
 WELL SAT|SF! FED

Viterbo, Italy, April s.-A glorious day has followed a stormy night and this led Giro Vitozzi, the priest, when brought into court with the other Camorrist prisoners today, to remark that the weather corresponded with his spirit, which was calm after week of pas sion.
 The proceedings opened with the ex- animation of Genarro Ascrittore, who is accused of having denounced De An geles and Amadeo as the murderers oi Cuoccolo. in order to save the real as- sassins.
 His defense was that he acted In good faith and he described at length how he became convinced of De Angelis' guilt.
 George B. Mcclellan, former mayor oi New York, Is expected to arrive here shortly. He has expressed a desire to be present at the trial of the Camorrists who are alleged to have been instrumen. tai in the killing of Detective Petrosino in the clearing up of which murder MT Mcclellan is deeply interested.
 The prisoners continue to think theil position Is favorable for the reason thai no direct evidence has been brought ou against them This can be explained however, by the fact that so far onli their replies to questions have been heard and the situation may change quick, when the witnesses for the prosecution who include many officers and men among the Carbineers, are called.

ROOSEVELT SAYS HE
 SNOT CANDIDATE

Spokane, Wash, April S.-Theodore Roosevelt made his first public declara- ton regarding his possible candidacy for the presidency at a luncheon given in his honor today by the Commercial club.
 q am not an aspirant for anything because I have had everything" he de- clared No other man alive has had I don't know whether 1 ought to use this simile In the presence of the chap lain-but 1 am going to take chances no other man alive has had such a good run for his money"
 MT. Roosevelt declared he was mak- ing his tour for no other purpose than that which he has already assigned to thank the people who had elected him to the presidency. Had he never come to the west, he said, he never would have raised his regiment and never would have become President. In conclusion he said:
 "It is the service done, not the title Of the place held, that counts. And you won't. any of you, have to puzzle as to my motives if you will accept my state ments at their face value You nave ho' got anything I want except your respect and good will, and all 1 desire IS, so ial as the chance arises where 1 am able te do so, to help you in any movement ioi the good of our common country
 Speaking to the city school teachers ear Her in the day, MT. Roosevelt referred at length to the country life commission saying:
 q appointed the country life commls' sion acting in accordance with my duty as President That commission mace a most valuable report. The members did not get penny's reward for making it All l asked of Congress was that Con- gress should print the report. Congress not only refused to print it, but passed resolution that no commission shoulc ever be appointed by the President
 When l say Congress l mean Congress under the so-called conservative reaction ary leadership. It declined to recognize what ought to be sufficiently obvious fact that the business of 6 legislator is tc try to represent and lead aright the peo- pie whom he represents"

Our laws. to put 1t mildly. are a disgrace to our country"

M|NNESOTALOS
 RAILROAD CASE

St. Paul, Minn., April s.-The Mime sota state railroad commission has lost It's fight for a reduction in passenger fares to cents per mile, on merchant disc 20 to 25 per cent and on commodi- ties 7.7 per cent. The railroads had put the reduction into effect but the stock holders of the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern Railroad company and the Minneapolis and St. Louis brought in- junction suits against the commission to stop the enforcement of the order. Judge Walter H. Sanborn in the Eighth United States circuit court today handed down an opinion declaring that the necessary effect of the reduction as ordered was substantially to burden and directly t, regulate interstate commerce. to create unjust determinations between localities in Minnesota and those in adjoining states in violation of the commercial clause of the constitution and to take properties of the railroad companies without just compensation in violation of the four teenth amendment to the constitution" Judge Sanborn rendered decrees whicl, enjoin the enforcement of the reductions after June 1, 1911.

At the February meeting Of the Mt,
Vernon Citizens Association it was
decided to hold the Good Roads"
meeting the first Wednesday in March
which happens to be March 1. This
meeting was to have been held in jan
uary but owing to conflicting dates
was postponed and will be held on
the above date without fail. The X. of
p. armory has been secured for the oc-
casion and a light lunch and cigars
will be served.
To give variety to the occasion there
will be lots of good music and speak
ers, who are authorities on road build
ing, have been secured from Center
burg, Mansfield, Fredericktown and
several other surrounding towns who
will address the meeting.
The meeting will also have the plea
sure OF having with them on this oc.
cason Mr.. Houston, president of the
Good Roads association of the state OF
Ohio, who will deliver an address
along the line of good roads.
The association invites all citizens
of Knox county or surrounding towns
and counties Who are in any way in
terested in good roads to be present
and take part and boost the good work
along. In the matter of road Knox
county should be one of the foremost
counties of the state. Smaller towns
have demonstrated that good roads
can be had at a very moderate ex
pense. Why can't Knox county dem
onstrate the same?
