Fights OH House Rules.

Washington, April 27.-Wbat demo
cratic members see as the first move
of the republican minority TO embarass
them By technical fights OH the rules
was today discovered iii the large
number OF motions to discharge com
mttees, now on the calendar.
A democrat today discovered that
there we're 80 such motions registered
and all save one by republicans. An
investigation. according to a prominent
democrat, disclosed that these minority
members had made the motions on re-
quest Of Minority Leader Mann.
Under the rules each member is
allowed only two motions on the
calendar. This amendment was adopt
ed by the democrats this session in an
attempt to remedy defect which
Mann last session took advantage OF by
loading up the calendar with 200 such
requests for discharge. The rule was
originally written by the republican
progressiyes.
None Of the 80 motions on the
calendar at present are under Mann $
name but it is believed that the minor
ity leader has suggested their filing 80
as to start something" at an early
date.
One OF the first measures on the dis
charge calendar is the pension bill in
troduced by Representative Anderson
(dem. Ohio.) 1t may be called up
next Monday and this fact is giving
leaders some concern, since the pen
sion committee has not yet had time g
consider it and anyway the democrat:
want the Sherwood bill considered.

THE GAZETTE.

10 the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette
Sir: l have noticed in the exchanges
that that old standard of democracy
the Alexandria Gazette--has passed to
new control This is to wish you sue
cess and to express the hope that the
Gazette may continue to live up to its
traditions. As native Nirglnian |
have never lost interest in the welfare
OF the grand old state. Though the
Gazette did not keep up with the pro-
cession in some Of the innovations OF
modern day newspaper making, 1t rep
resented at all times decency in journal
ism and was faithful to its convictions.
II did not find it on my visits to rela-
tives in Fairfax county | would indeed
feel that an old friend was gone.

Possible COLLAPSE Of Prosecution.

Yiterbo, April 21.-The possible col
lapse OF the prosecution IN the trial of
the Camorrists charged with the muir
DIR OF Gennaro Cucccolo and his vile,
was indicated today in the report that
a jeweler near Naples had written to
Judge Bianchi that the police had EN-
ployed him to make the ring, supposed
70 be Cuoccolo's, which was found in
the house OF Di Salvi, one of the ac-
cused men.
Judge Bianchi has orlered an nves-
tigation OF the report.
The carbineera have testified that the
murderers of the Curccolos sent Cen
naro's ring to Di Salvi as proof that
they had carried out their part Of the
compact
Lawyers for the defense have con-
tended all along that the ring evidence
was manufactured.

LAWYER Senators un kidnapping.

Washington, D. c., April 27.-Law-
yer Senators today declared that court
precedents are well established in sucL
cases as the kidnapping OF John j.
McNamara and the United States SUI
preme Court has held repeatedly as
follows:
First-That a man cannot legally be
arrested and extradited as a fugitive
from justice unless ne was in the state
where the crime vas committed at the
time it was committed.
Second-If he is transported--no
matter by what means-to the Iursdic-
ton Of the court, the Judge may not
inquire into the means OF his presenta'
ton but must try him.
They contended that no technical
legal defense can be made for Burns IN
kidnapping Mcnamara, but that Nc
Namara will have no recourse except
possibly through a civil suit for dam
ages. 1t was pointed out that long ago
the Supreme Court decided three cases,
one from Kentucky, and two from
New York, aud that it has since held
to the precedents then established.
In the Kentucky case no requisition
was obtained and the prisoner was
taken by main force across the state
line, but the highest court held that
the trial court could consider nothing
except that he was then in It's jurisdic-
ton and must he tried, The same
presidents prevailed in the Meyer Hay
wood case. when they were kid

FIRED ON KAISER'S YACHT.

Rife Shots Whistle Over Hohen-
zolIern-Attacked Attributed to Dis
affected Greeks.
London, April ga dispatch re.
ceived from Corfu by the Dalziel News
Agency says that while the kaiser's
Yacht Hohenzollcrn with the emperor
on board was cruising off that port
three rifle shots we're fired at it. The
bullets whistled over the imperial cabin,
according to this report, and caused
excitement among the members OF his
majesty's suite. Although the dis
patch says the outrage is attributed to
disaffected Greeks, diplomats here are
at a loss to understand why Greeks
should be displeased with the kaiser.
Up to the present time no contir-
nation OF the report has been received
from any other source. At the Ger
man embassy it was said that every
effort is being made to secure par
ticulars Of the outrage. There Is a
feeling there that the firing may have
been part Of an anarchistic plot. 1t IS
known that the anarchists, especially
the Italian and Spanish branches, have
been very active lately. Because OF
the belief that they are plotting an at
tempt at Wholesale assassination to
mar the coronation OF King George,
the police Of England and all Of the
continental countries have recently
been very active 1t was said the out
rage might be due to German anar-
chists.
The Kaiser planned TO remain in
the Mediterranean for Ten days longer,
but whether this reported incident will
result in his changing his plans can
not be learned atpresent.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL q

C. B. SLEMP chairman OF the re-
nphlican state committee has sent out
a letter advising all republicans to stay
cut out of the democratic senatorial
primary He says:
Judged by its record, the democra,
tic party should be no longer trusted
with the government of Virginia, and
it is quite evident, from statements
aprc1-;i:g in various democratic papers
:. sized in the state, that the demo-
..ai,c party is incompetent or unwlli-
ing to manage the affairs Of the people
in an economical, just and proper
manner. | believe the time Is near
at hand in Virginia when the people
will be ready to turn their attentlon
to some other source for relief.
The above are the fruits OF the
tboughtlessness of certain newspapers
who are clamoring for the deposition
of the present Virginia representatives
in the United States Senate. 10 order
to boost the claims OF the Wouid-be
successors to Senators Martin and
Swanson these knights OF the quill
resort TO anything in the way
OF libels upon their own party,
and in so doing give the enemies OF
the democratic organization opportu-
mites to quote their own scurrilous
ISLANDERS. Mr.. Slemp and his party,
however, need not hope for republl-
can boom By reason of these unfor-
tunate conditions, as the result OF the
next election will be accepted, as here
tofore, in the true democratic spirit
aud the party will become as solid ano
united as ever against the pretenslons
of the republican lookers-on.
