Viterbo, Italy, July II: Capt. Fab
roni, who has made the accused Cam
orrists more uncomfortable than other
witnesses, today went deep into the
political influence of the Camorra and
mentioned names with boldness that
caused the judge to caution him to be
moderate in his statements. The wit
ness replied: Il must say all and give
an exact picture of the prevailing at
mosphere in order to strike a deadly
blow at this criminal association. The
Camorrist has no political ideals. He
exploits the elections and the elected
for gains. The leaders distribute
bands throughout the town who use
violence to obtain votes for candidates
they support Those who refuse to
vote as instructed are beaten, slashed
with knives or kidnapped. All this is
done with assurance Of impunity, as
the Camorrists have the protection OF
the successful politicians who realize
that they cannot be chosen to office
without paying toll to the Camorra."
A general heat wave through the
northern and eastern parts of the ma
tion occurred July l to 6. During that
time there were 722 deaths due direct
ly TO the heat. There were 201 VIC
Tins in Chicago alone, 125 Of whom
were babies, and 100 in New York. lr-
complete as the record Is from the
failure of many points to report spe-
officially the number of such deaths. it
is as serious a showing as is remem-
bered for many years, If not record.
The number of prostrations is still
more difficult to compute, but from
the review of the dispatches it ap-
pears that thousands have been seri-
ously overcome by the heat in the
great cities. The torrid period will
be memorable in weather annals for
it's wide extent, its long duration, its
record breaking temperatures in many
places and the long list of fatalities
which 1t has caused. In many sections
the thermometers registered as high
as 10S or higher.
- Washington, July 13: Senator La
Follette's ng-promised wool and cot
ton tariff revision amendment to the
Canadian reciprocity bill, proposing
duty reductions which he calculates
would save the consumer $169,000,00O
annually on cotton and $172,OOO,O 600
on woolens was introduced today. In
a statement accompanying the amend
ment Mr.. La Toilette says that against
this enormous saving to the consul
mers, which assumes that the price to
the consumer would be reduced to the
same extent as the reduction of duty,
the loss of revenue to the government
under the two schedules would ap-
proximate $3O,OOO,O0O. Following are
the duties fixed: Wool and Woolens-
On clothing woods, 40 per cent ad
valorem; carpet woods, 10 per cent
ad valorum; toys, As per cent; yarn
so per cent; carpets 40 per cent; cloths
and other woolen manufactures, so
per cent. On Cottons-Yarns and
thread, 80 per cent ad valorem; cloth,
unbleached, 20 per cent; bleached, 25
per cent; cloth, dyed. printed or stain
ed, 25 per cent; all manufactures OF
cotton cloth, 25 per cent; cotton laces,
embroideries and ornamental trim
mings, 80 per cent; hosiery, 80 and 35
per cent.

Washington, July 13: Harry n.
Atwood, the Boston aviator, flew over
the city in his aeroplane today, played
aerial pranks with the Washington
monument, circled tall buildings, had
fun with an army of automobiles, BIZ
cycles, pedestrians and police by pre-
tending to land at various points in
Potomac park, and finally, after a
series of sweep circles near the capitol,
scared in the gathering dust to the
army aviation field at College park,
Maryland, whence he had come. To-
days trip will be followed by another
tomorrow, when Atwood will land near
the White House to receive the medal
of the Washington Aerial society. At
woods most spectacular effort follow
ed his circling of the monument. After
wheeling thrice around the big shaft
he sped away in the direction of the
Virginia hills. Turning sharply, the
aviator drove his aeroplane directly at
the top of the monument as though
he intended 10 knock off the alumni
mum tip and when almost directly over
the apex, he shut off his motor and
came sliding down. The crowd and
police, who had been decOyed to the
river bank, made a rush toward the
monument, but Atwood laughingly
turned on his engine again and swept
back directly over their heads. After
a number of complicated evolutions he
turned the nose of his plane toward
the Maryland field. The weather was
perfect for the flight and a great
