Develop Horses.
Army men are interested in polo not
only as a sport. but as a means OF de-
both men and horses for the
army. Maj. Henry T. Allen, OF the Gen
eral Staff, said last night that from very
early times polo had been recognized in
India, Persia, and other countries as
splendid sport. requiring perfect physical
condition for the player and his steed;
the highest skill in horsemanship, keen
a fine and instant sense OF
strategy. and patience, perseverance. and
a quick and hardy courage.
Besides these immediate results, Major
Allen said, the requirements OF polo
players for ponies stimulated the science
OF horse breeding. which, so FAR as army
mounts are concerned. is generally held
to have been neglected in recent years

The Camorra Verdict.

4 "INA SuiPIlSliR euuuclIlcSS, dIIcr d
trial that lasted well on to two years,
the jury at Viterbo has found twenty
five Of the Gagged men accused of mur-
der guilty. The verdict has tended to
vindicate Italy, for the world had be-
gun to fear that justice would be de-
feated- Among the great criminal
trials Of modern civilization this one
easily will rank as the most important
one, owing to the social importance of
its issues and its extraordinary length
This long duration it was which had
misled some of our leading papers in
prophesying that the judges summary
would occupy two months and that a
verdict may not be expected before the
expiration of six months. All Of which,
of course, was "rot" 1t was neither
the judge nor the jury that dragged out
this famous trial for so long a period.
but the unceasing interruptions on the
part of the accused, Gagged like animals
and their every movement guarded by
hellebardiers, as we'll as of sympa-
thizers among the audience
The trial itself has brought out testi-
mony that would easily fill library.
1t produced one lawyers argument
taking three weeks TO finish. 1t has,
in fact, hastened the death of more
than one of those involved and violent
disorders marked its progress through
out which perhaps was but natural
when the emotional nature of the ma
tives of Southern Italy is taken into
consideration.
In short, the case was one where So
ciety governed by law has been arrayed
in a desperate legal battle against a
medieval survival of fully organized
lawlessness and murder right in its
midst, that for centuries almost had
menaced life and property, and finally
has been victorious.
Justice has after all triumphed and
the doubt that court and Jurors would
dare to infict the penalty prescribed
upon members of so very powerful
band of criminals, that recruited itself
from all classes OF Italian society up 10
the highest reaches, and even from the
priesthood itself, at last has been dis
PEELED. Nine of the accused were found
guilty of actual assassination and the
rest, including the Priest Vitozzi, of
having been accessories or of having
had knowledge OF the crimes to be per
petrated.
1t is not surprising that it took 800
soldiers to maintain order while the
verdict was rendered. What does sur
prise is that order has been maintained
at all under such conditions, in spite OF
the continued audacity of the Gagged
and the manifest sympathy
tor them among the spectators.
The history of one OF the most
powerful and dangerous of Italv's
organizations appears to be
closed. The curtain may well drop
with this wholesome warning to others
to disband or-perhaps-to reform. But
will this be the case with men disposi-
toned as these fiery southerners? Call
it Maha, Camorra, Vendetta, or Black |
Hand, Italy ever was, and no doubt
ever will be, the hotbed of lawlessness
and revenge. How to control men of !
such pronounced vindictiveness has
been something which the Italian gov
ernment has been @up against since its
existence and former Italian states long
before that period

SHRUBBERY FOR PLAZA.
Make Suggestion for
Union station Grounds.

The substitution OF a suitable parking
treatment in grass and shrubbery for the
central island" Of the Union Station
Plaza in place OF the proposed cement
sidewalk pavement was yesterday after
noon recommended to Col. Spencer Cosby,
Superintendent OF Public Buildings and
Grounds and secretary OF the Fine Arts
Commission. by the District Commis-
sioners.
The original plans for the Plaza pro-
vide for the laying OF a cement sidewalk
pavement on the smaller Islands and
the lower terrace OF the central island"
The upper terrace OF the central island"
was designed to be paved with cement
tile in three colors. This plan has been
modified to the extent OF sodding in
stead OF paving the smaller Islands,"
substituting brick for cement in the
central island" and paving the upper
terrace in a pattern OF two-colored brick.

Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
Will say:
Conditions are still favorable to the
realization Of the promise held out by
The developments Of the last three
months. namely, Of g. year of wider ac-
tlvity than 1911. The severe cold Weath-
er since the middle of December has. to
some extent, and especially in railroad
transportation In the iron and steel in
dustry and in railroad distribution, held
this promised development in check. The
volume OF business, however, is large and
tain finished lines lower prices are now
the rule In iron and steel.
The cotton goods market has strength
ened materially, and the demand is
broad and seasonably active. Many mills
making brown staple goods, print cloths
and heavy colored cottons, are now uD
der orders for two or three months
ahead. and oIeached cottons. shcetlngs
and pillow tubinss. prints, denims pIai5s
and other piece goods are stronger.
Export trade is good.

ings. as well as 1000 bales OF canton
hannels.
The New England footwear market Is
quiet but new business is coming for
ward at a better rate than formerly and
factories continue fairly busy on old con :
tracts. Prices are strong. The recent
