Camorrist leSions. each having its
Camorrist hierarchy.
IN each district member of the or

AFFILIATED with the Cumorra. His
powers and Influence are greater
than those of the police or car
bineers as he is expected to de-
nounce those who commit disorders
and thus compromise the association.
which Is destined for more important
enterprises
Abbatemaggio said that shortly
after the murder of cuoccolo. when
he was In the company of Giovanni
Rapl the alleged treasurer of the
Camorra. he met the priest, Vitozzl.
who suggested that Erricone so that
he might not be suspected, go fire.

have been communicated to Erricone.
Vitozzl. on hearing the statement by
the Witness raised his hands and eyes
and with Mortified expression ex-
claimed, turning toward the prisoners

If / had ever suspected that Erri-

Cox, the republican leader. will not be
tried on the charge Of perjury by Judge
Frank NJ. German Of the common pleas
court. This became almost certain to-
day when Judge 7. A. Jones of Jack
son and Judge Festus Walters of Cir
cleyille. in majority decision, sus-
tanned the mandamus proceeding
against Judge Charles J. Hunt of the
circuit court here, ordering him to rule
on the affidavit filed by CoX's at
terneys charging bias and prejudice"
against Judge German.
Between Cox and u trial in Judge
Gorman's court are these obstacles:
Judge Hunts decision on the bias
and prejudice affidavit against Judge
German.
"A ruling on q motion by Cox's at
torneys to quash the indictment
"Action on plea Of abatement and
demurrer To the indictment which can
still lie filed
Only two days remain for these legal
technicalities to be brushed out Of
the way, inasmuch as Judge German
retres from the criminal branch OF
the common pleas court on Saturday
The decision places the ease as II
was II days ago when the "prejudice
and bias" affidavit was filed before
Judge Hunt, and 1t is the opinion OF
the attorneys opposed to Cox that the
republican leader has accomplished
" hat he started out to do, not to be
tried by Judge German.

Montana Governor Willing to Summon Legis-

ALL NE ASKS SASSURANCE THAT LAW WILL PASS
In Formal Statement Declaration Is Made That State Execu-
tive Is In Favor Of Oregon Plan, but Is Willing That
the Assembly Enact Any Suitable Law.

Helena. March 30.-tSpeeial) )-Gov-
ernor Norris today issued statement
defining his position In regard to call
ing an extra session of the legislature
for the purpose Of enactlng a primary
law. In his statement the governor
says
'Sncc the adjournment of the lcgis-
lature considerable discussion has been
engaged In relative to the call of a
special session for the purpose of en-
acting an effective primary law
"There seems to pe divergence of
opinion as to what kind of primary
law viii be effective; as matter of
fact this IL the rock upon which the
hopes Of the people with respect TO a
primary law went to pieces at the re-
cent session. II Is well known that
both parties In their state platforms
declared for primary law. In the
house the majority advocated the Ore
gon method. while In the senate the
Iowa law was considered the more ef-
fcctive. And because OF the failure to
reach an agreement as to what would
be an effective primary law, no bill
was passed. With this knowledge OF
II recent event, one Is justified in say
ing that the term an effective primary
law has not proven sufficiently ex-
piicit
"Only a few days before the close Of
the TN clfth session ] talked with a
number OF members OF both houses
relative to the likelihood of an agree
ment upon the provisions Of primary
law In the event of the summoning of
the assembly In extraordinary session
Immediately upon adjournment of the
regular session. The expressions then
given forced upon me the conviction
that 1t would not be possible to secure
such a law at that time.
Stands Ready to Call Session.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the session stated publicly through
the press that stood ready to con-
vene the assembly in extra session
whenever IL majority of the members
of both houses should assure me that
they would agree upon and stood ready
To enact primary law such as the
people Of Montana want.
