-Viterbo, Italy, March %: Tumul-
tuous scenes which got beyond the
control of the court officials marked
today's session of the Camorrist trial.
When President Bianchi produced q
ring said to have been taken from
Cuocolis hand as proof that he had
been disposed of, which was found in
the home of a woman associate or
Giuseppi Salvi, who was under cross
examination today, shouts Of denial
arose from the prisoners cage. When
attorneys for Abbatemaggto, the IN
former, pushed forward and explain
ed that it was Cuocoli's ring, the dem
onstration began in earnest The &C
cused men alternately cursed, ragged
about their cell and sobbed hysteri-
cally, while their women in the audi
ence shrieked and tainted. The
priest, Giro VitozZi, looked as though
he had been stricken with apoplexy.
The wife of Mariana De Zenoas, one
of the alleged actual assassins,
screamed and fell to the floor in con-
vulsions. The savage invectives were
continued for ten minutes, when the
president, to restore order, announced
a temporary adjournment Through
out the turmoil the informer sat calm
in his seat.
Washington, March %: President
Taft today sent for Japanese Ambas-
sador Baron Uchida, to felicitate with
him upon the ratification Of the new
treaty between this country and ia
pan. He took advantage Of the oeca-
sion to set at rest once and for all
the stories which have been published
from time to time during the past
two weeks that back Of the admins
tration's action in sending troops to the
Mexican border was motive OF pre-
caution against some expected treach-
erous act by Japan. 1t also was re-
ported that Japan had secured from
Mexico q coaling station on the Pa
cific coast, to be used as base in at
tacking the United States. The pres
ident declared today that he was
amazed to find on his return from Au-
gusta that some newspapers had been
giving credence to these reports by
publishing them in a prominent man
ner. It was the first he had heard OF
them and he quickly expressed his re-
gret that such malicious stories" as
he called them, should gain circula-
ton. Baron Uchida Is said to have
assured the president that he had at
tached no importance to the reports
and had discovered that they eman-
ated from irresponsible sources. The
interview lasted for fully half an hour.
The young man who recently made
a sensation in Atlanta by reckless
spending, representing that he was A.
w. Carmichael from Buenos Ayes,
turns out to be Edward w. Lee, clerk
to the paymaster on the United States
battleship Georgia. He stole $4,000
out Of the paymaster's safe on Feb
ruary II, while the Atlantic fleet was
in Guantanamo bay, near Santiago,
and made his escape to the United
States, regardless Of a number OF
telegrams that had been sent out in
various directions warning the au-
thorities to be on the lookout for him.
Lee landed at Mobile, Ala, and made
his way from there to Atlanta, where
he gave a hotel clerk $1,000 for suite
of four rooms, hired an automobile at
$40 an hour and succurabed to the
charms of a pretty manicurist, for
whom he bought dresses to the value
of $1,000 to $1,500. He bought q draft
on New York for $4,000 and left with
the young woman for that city. The
New York bank would not cash the
draft because of unsatisfactory iden-
tification, and the young man went
back to Atlanta. In the meantime,
the navy department had gotten on
the young mans trail and had sent out
descriptions of the money that had
been stolen. The Atlanta bank found
that the money that had been paid to
II by Lee answered that description.
When the young man came back. ar
rangements were made to arrest him;
but he escaped before the officers
could lay hands on him and at last
accounts was still at large.
Announcing they will not lay down
their arms, until formal negotiations
for peace are under way, the revolu-
tionary party of Mexico, through DR..
Vasquez Gomez, their representative
in Washington, issued a statement
Thursday outlining the attitude of the
revolutionists toward peace overtures
and reforms in the republic. The
statement says: The revolutionary
party, which is constituted of the best
men Of the country, cannot accept as
a guarantee only the promise Of
government that has for more than 80
years been promising, and has never
fulfilled a single one of its promises.
The revolutionists think, and with
reason, that Immediately following the
laying down of arms, many Of the
leaders would die mysteriously, no re-
forms would be granted, and the op-
preston would be greater than ever.
For this reason the revolutionists will
not accept as a guarantee Mr.. Liman-
It'd it.i1t q
one man cannot and must not serve
as a guarantee for a political party
fighting for the liberty of a people,
and much less when such man has
been, and Is the right hand of the
depressing government. The revolu-
tionists DO not desire the complete
elimination of the opposing party, be-
cause everyone knows that 1t Is nee
essary to have opposite parties in
nation in order to maintain political
equilibrium and righteous administra-
ton. The revolutionary party must
be represented in the government OF
the states, in the congress, and in the
cabinet. 1t is we'll known that up to
the present not a single member OF
the cabinet or a representative OF the
people has ever made the least pro-
test in regard to the great political
abuses, the unjust imprisonment, and
the numberless political assassina-
tions. For all these reasons the rev.
olutionists will not lay down their
arms until the time when these re-
forms that guarantee the lives Of the
people, the administration of justice,
and political liberty shall be in eff
feet"
The details Of the assault on
Booker T. Washington in New York
last Sunday night have created wide
spread interest. Washington had Ur-
Itch, his assailant arrested, and both
sides employed attorneys. Urlich's
