Niterbo. Italy. September 24.-More
experts were called in the Camorrd
trial yesterday In the attempt OF the
Jury TO determine whether the finger
ring alleged by the carbineers to have
been found in the possession of the
alleged murderers of Gennaro Cuocolo
was identical with that which Cuocolo
Is known to have worn.
The defense has asserted that the
carbineers purchased a new ring tn
exhibit in court with the deliberate
purpose OF manufacturing evidence.
FRIDAY three experts declared that
the ring in evidence had been worn
about six months. Yesterday othor
expert witnesses testiged that from
examination IL was evident that the

Mathews. Va, September 24.-Late
this afternoon the unidentified white
man who attempted an assault on Miss
Ella Miller a few miles from this
place on last Tuesday afternoon, and
for whom a constant search haS been
waged in this region. was reported to
nave been seen in a boat on the
Pianketank River. between Freeport
and Draggin. tely the posses,
which have been engaged in the pur-
suit, organized their forces SO as to
form a complete patrol of the river
bank on both sides of the stream,
which Will be kept up through the
entire night. With this effective force
on the lookout, 1t is believed now that
1t is a quetison only OF q few hours
before the man VIII be caught. It Is
practically impossible for him to Ian
at any place on the river without
being caught. n the pursuing men
feel greatly encouraged over the prob
able elimination OF their chase.
The trail, which was found early
Saturday night. leading through the
White Neck section. was followed dur
ing he night. and 1t ended near the
spot where the attack was attempted.
There were so many footprints and
the ground was so broker up there
that it was lost at that spot.
This morning the report came that
a boat belonging to q fisherman named
Harris. on the Pianketank River had
been stolen during the night 1t was
regarded as probable that the fugitive
had crossed from Mathews county into
MiddleseN. and a large number of men
!cfs for :hat county soon after hear
Ing the report. 1t was learned there
that a man supposed to be the fugitive
was seen ahou II o'clock this morning
in the netghborhood of Braston Church.,
in the lower section of the county,
about u. Give miles from Saluda. Wig
orous search of that entire region was
made, and it is believed that during
this time the man succeeded in get
he is on the river, unable to land.
While the excitement still is intense
and the people are highly wrought
up. the authorities remain confident
that the mar Will be turned over to
the law. Threats of l%ynching. due
to the advice of cooler headed men,
are not heard as frequently az they
were two or three days ago.
Miss Miller continues to show the
wonderful strength and nerve that
has been the marvel of her friends,
and her mother, who has been in a
serious condition. following the shock
of the attack, has begun to show signs
of improvement Miss MIller's brother,
who was a student at Richmond Col
lege. has arrived at home, and is with
his mother and sister.

new HOUSE RULES FORMED
Republicans Make Protest Against
Gag" on Rules Debate, Mann
Talking Observation-Disclosures" Can
non Delivers His Maiden Speech.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Both
houses of Congress listened to Presi
dent Taft's brief message urging the
adoption of the reciprocity agree.
ment with Canada yesterday.
Then, with the Senate adjourned.
the Democratic House proceeded fur,
Their with it's organization by adopting
a new set of rules.
To a great extent the new rules
are repetition of those that have
been handed down by many congress
es in the past. The Democrats claim
that their greatest reform is taking
away from the speaker his power to
appoint committees and to designate
the chairman of each committee. The
new rules provide for the election of
committees and their chairmen.
The second reform is a return to
the former Democratic practice OF
permitting legislation on approuria-
ton bills when when the legislation
tends to reduce the expenditures of
the government.
The Democratic rules continue "Cal
endar Wednesday" and the unani.
nous consent calendar and seek to
perfect the rule for the discharge of
committees. This latter rule, the
Democrats declare, effectively does
away with the former practice of stiff
| ling legislation in committees.
A special order passed by the DEM
ocrats and limiting debate on the
rules to four hours, Immediately
brought out cry Of gag" from the
Republicans. The speeches which fol-
lowed were all more or less of a po-
litical nature, and there was no Sc
rious fight on the rules themselves.
The Republicans claimed they were
debarred from making such a fight,
because of the further provision OF
the special order that only one sub
stitute set of rules could be ordered
by the minority. Not even a roll call
was demanded by the Republicans on
the adoption Of the rules.
The political battle which waged
for four hours was but a forecast of
others to come during the session and
which are expected to make the pres
ent Congress notable. Representa-
tive Mann, the Republican leader.
was ably seconded by former Speaker
Cannon and Representatives Daizell
and Olmstead, with one or two Repub-
lican insurgents thrown in for good
measure The latter assisted their
brothers Of the minority by protesting
against the action of the Democrats
in adopting the "tyranical" method Of
the former majority in cutting of de-
