TIPPINs BILL GOES THROUGH.
Georgia House Adopts Resolution to
Stamp OOut "Near-Beer."

Atlanta, July 10.-The Alexander
Tippins substitute for the famous
"near-beer" bill, one of the most
drastic prohibition measures in the
history Of the State, was adopted to-
day by the House Of the General AS
sembly by vote of 129 to AZ.
supporters OF the measure in the
House express confidence that it will
meet with little opposition In the
Senate. The vote by which the meas
ure was adopted to-day also was suf-
hcient to pass the bill in the event
that 1t would be vetoed by Governor
Brown. ~
AS adopted by the House, the AL
exander-Tippins bill prohibits the
sale OF beverages containing more
than one-half of one per cent Of alco.
hol anywhere in the State of Geor-
gia. Stringent measures arc pro-
vided which practically will put the
ban on locker clubs of every descrip-
ton throughout the State.
BY the provisions governing locker
clubs their control is left largely In
the hands Of the Governor of the
State.
viii Governor Veto BILL?
Atlanta, July 1.-Georiga legis.
lators have put on the lid, that is to
say they have enacted legislation
which puts near-beer out Of bust
ness. The Senator'S will next take
shot at the measure. If that body
dittos the work Of their colleagues in
the lower House, then it will be up
to the Governor to make good his
word, which is another way Of saying
he will turn 1T down. Governor
Brown has announced on more than
one occasion that he will veto any
measure on the prohibition question
that does not carry a provision sub.
mitting the question to the voters Of
the State. No such provision Is con-
tanned in the measure; in fact when
one was proposed, the lawmakers
turned 1T down, so it naturally fol-
lows that the Governor will veto it.

ALBERT SOTTILE ON STAND.
Other Witnesses Summoned Had
Left tho state.

Columbia, July 11.-Albert Sottile
was the only witness present We'd
nesday Of the number who had been
Bubpoenaed to be present and testify
as to the charge that the constables
in Charleston had been collecting
graft in that city.
Sottile's attorney, T.. w. Hughes,
raised the question Of non-jurisdic-
tion on tho committees part to in
quire into the Charleston situation
and held that the committee was ex-
ceeding It's powers and rights In do
ing SO.
other Witnesses who had been sub
poenaed we're James Farnum, J. p.
B. O'Neile, Henry Doscher, Wallace
X. Harley, Santo Sottile and w. II.
Behrans. Sheriff Martin, OF Charles
ton, reported that Behrens was at
Glenn Springs, Santo Sottile in Can
ada, Doscher out Of the State, and
that James Farnum had left Char
turned.
Attorney Hughes held that the
committee did not have the power
to go into the Charleston situation.
No New Developments.
Albert Sottile. in his testimony,
brought out nothing new. Attorney
Hughes frequently objected to the
questions.
Wallace K. Hartley, who said he
was liquor dealer in Charleston
testified that he never paid any
graft to Stothart or any OF the
"ther constables, or to any one else.
Sottile, recalled, declined to an
swer the question as to whether he
had paid any graft" to the con-
stables. A majority Of the commit
tee overruled the objection and in
sisted on the question and judged
Sottilc In contempt, but would sus-
pend Judgment and allow the matter
OF jurisdiction to be decided by the
courts.
lnterposing the further objection
that the question might tend to in
triminate him, Albert Sottile declin-
ed to answer as to whether or not he
had been paying "protection" money
to constables in Charleston. This
means that the matter will not be
taken into the courts and the con-
tempt proceedings dropped.
The committee adjourned to meet

The CamOrra verdict is the culmi-
nation Of trial which lasted nearly
two years. 1t stirred the world by
revelations Of the ramifications Of
the criminal association.
The direct accusation which
brought to light the operations Of the
Camorra was the murder of a men,
Der named Genarro Cuoccolo and his
wife. Their deaths were supposed to
be executions ordered by the Camor-
ia band.
The leader of the Camorra, Enrico
Alfano, known as Erricone, was ar
rested in Brooklyn, n. Y, and was
taken on board a steamer to Europe
by Lieut.. Joseph Petrosino, a detect
i've Of the New York police depart
ment, and handed over to the Ital-
ian police. Petrosino Vas after
wards assassinated at Palermo, and
the crime was laid upon the should

The Italian prosecuting authori-
ties found 1t difficult to obtain evi-
dence, but one Of the Camorrists,
Genarro Abbatemaggio, turned in
former, and his evidence finally led
to the conviction Of the prisoners.
Over 700 witnesses were heard
during the trial.

THE CAMOIsIsTs CONVICTED.
Five Guilty OF Murder--Others Con-
victed Of Criminal Conspiracy.

The Camorists, who had been on
trial for nearly two years at Viterbo,
Italy, on the charge Of having mur-
dered Gennara Cuoccolo and his
wife in June, 1906, were last week
adjudged guilty In varying degrees.
The verdict declares Corrado Sortino
guilty of both murders; Nicolo Nor
ra, Antonio Cerrato and Mariana di
Gennarro guilty Of the murder Of
Cuoccolo. and Giuseppe Salvi guilty
Of the murder of Cuoccolo's wife.
Enrico Alfano, the alleged leader Of
the Camorrists; Giovanni Rapi di
Marianas and the others were con-
victed Of being instigators Of the
crime and members of criminal Or
ganization.
The president Of the court imme-
diately sentenced the condemned
men. Sortino, Merrato, Salvi, Nora,
di Gennarro, Alfano, Rapi and di
Marianas were sentenced to 80 years
Imprisonment aud to 10 years police
surveillance each; Di Matte to 10
years and six months Imprisonment
and 10 years surveillance, the others
to five years Imprisonment and three
years surveillance.
Cut His Throat.
When the accused men were placed
in the iron cage to hear the verdict
Di Marianas suddenly drew forth a
piece Of glass and cut his throat. He
fell to the floor in pool Of blood
and general pandemonium broke
loose. The other prisoners screamed
like wild animals. shouting invect-
ives and imprecations.
Attempt to Speak.
Some Of them shook their fists at
the judge and others tore at the
bars Of the cage. They attempted in
concert to harrangue those assem-
bled in the court.
In addition to the police and car
bineers within the building a battal-
ion Of troops, with fixed bayonets,
was drawn up outside. 1t was
thought that some attempt might be
made to rescue the prisoners.
Di Marianas is in a serious condi-
ton. The glass with which he at
tempted suicide severed an artery,
which was tied, but Marianas, the
moment he was left alone, tore off
the bandages and reopened the
wound. Surgeons again dressed his
injuries, but the wounded man de-
clared he was determined to die

SAYS PUBLIC MARKET is
WHAT PENSACOLA NEEDS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
AS a citizen and a booster, l believe
one of our most important require
ments Of interest to each and every
person is a public market house.
The question has been brought up
many times before, but Il appears our
citizens have as yet failed to grasp the
real importance of a market house to
the community, otherwise we would
have one today. Mr. Citizen, don't you
know that a public market (open from
) a. m. to noon, except Sundays)
would be the busiest place you could
imagine? Don't you realize that each
and every meat dealer in that market
house would try to win your patronage
by Offering choice meats at lowest
Possible figures? And that every
farmer within striking distance of
Pensacola would strive to raise choice
vegetables and sell them In this
market house at reasonable prices?
Let me ask you, Mrs. Housewife
would not you much rather 60 to the

public market yourself and see what
you are buying than to buy a cat in
bag2 Are you now sattfled with the
handful of vegetables you get for 30
cents2 No, of course, you are not; So
say to you, get after your menfolks
and demand a public market; other
cities smaller than Pensacola would
not think Of doing without one.
Imagine the impression a busy market
place would make on strangers coming
here when they see meats vegetables,
poultry, eggs, butter, fish, fruits and
every sort of thing good to eat offered
at reasonable prices instead of ex-
horbitant prices as they find them
now. Wouldn't 1t help greatly to in
duce new corners to locate here? The
city should erect the building, con-
veniently located, and have absolute
control Of same, under supervision Of
market inspector, the stalls or places
to be rented out to various meat deal
ers, vegetable, poultry, fish and fruit
men at so much per month; and to
protect the market house dealers there
should be ordinances passed probiting
others from selling such wares within
a reasonable distance from the market
house, like is done in other cities. If
we can not have a market house at
once, why not, at least, have a curb
market, so the farmers can have an
opportunity to come in town every
morning. back up to the curb all to-
gether in a certain block designated
by the city authorities, and give us A
chance to buy vegetables to eat at
right prices? / would like to hear
the sentiments Of every citizen in
Pensacola on this subject. If you are
interested sufficiently in the market
house question or curb market, sit
down and drop me a card, and when /
get enough of these communications to-
gether we will see if we can not inter-
est the proper people to help US get a
public market at once.

WHY PRIMARY DATE
NEEDED CHANGING

Apalachicola, Fla, March l, 1912.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
/ note your editorials and articles
relative to postponing ate for holding
the first Democratic primary this year
from the S1st day of April to the first
day of May, and hope that the state
committee will see the, ACCESSIBILITY of
and make the suggested change for
several reasons. First, there is a very
small percentage of the voters quail
fed by having their poll taxes paid,
and won't qualify so far ahead of the
date of election as March 9Th. which
will have to be done to vote on April
S1st. Secondly, if the date for hold
ing the primary is postponed one day
ii will give the voters a month and
four days longer time in which to
pay poll taxes, and will bring the time
for so qualifying to within seventeen
days of the first primary, and by that
time more interest Will be worked up
and the voters will very nearly all pay
up their poll taxes, and a much larger
vote will be polled. Thirdly. there are
thousands of voters who pay no taxes
other than poll tax, and they will not
pay and qualify so far ahead of the
primary as March 9th, and, unless they
qualify and vote in the first primary
they certainly will not pay any poll
taxes to vote in any other primary nor
at the general election In November.
so unless the date for holding the
first primary is changed as suggested
there will certainly be a very light
vote at the primaries and at the gen.
eral election, which will not be to the
best interests OF the state In national
affairs, and tire schools Of the state
will lose thousands of dollars which
will no be lost if the date is postponed

one day and for this one reason alone
the date should be postponed for hold
ing the first primary and for closing
poll tax books, and 1 hope that the
state committee will SO arrange.
In his, Franklin, county, where gen
orally over 700 poll taxes are paid, only
so has been paid so far and with only
another week to pay there will not be
one-fourth of the voters qualified by
poll tax payments.

experience in the tax office and know
that unless the voters pay up for the
first primary they will not do so after
that unless they have property to pay
