District Aired in Court.

Bridgeport, Conn. March THE
jury in the case Of Domenica Cesare,
charged with being a leader in a con-
spiracy to slash the face of Dora Her
man, woman of the Tenderloin, re-
turned q verdict of guilty in the su-
perior court this afternoon, and Judge
Burpee Immediately pronounced a SEN
tenCe Of from three to five years in

warnings by giving shelter to another
woman of the same class, and that
Cesare was the practical head Of the
conspiracy.
Joseph Lagno. who had been Sc
lected as the one to do the cutting,
and who mad pleaded guilty to having
slashed the wOmans face open from

state. After Cesare's case was dis
posed of, Joseph LagnO was sentenced
to one year in jail.

teLced ~ one year in Jail, Judge Bur-
pee saying that it was in considera-
tion Of the help that he had given that

added that the strikers might have to
make a few concessions on their part
in order to bring about a settlement Of
the dispute
President Wood Of the company told
the strike committee that the five per
cent. increase in wages offered was
minimum which would apply TO those
employees who now receive as high as
SIS week. For those who receive the
lowest rate Of pay the increase VIII
average between IL and IS per cent,
according to Mr.. Riley's report.

women intercepted operatives coming
from work in the Pacific mills tonight
and in the midst of much hooting some
of the operatives We're attacked The
attack was confined to fsticuffs, but
the police were unable TO disperse the
crowd, and called for help from the
militia. A squad of 35 men from the
First corps of Cadets, composed large
" Of young men from prominent Bos-
ton families, now doing duty here, ar
rived on the double quick and scattered
the crowd without being compelled to
use force.

city tonight. Their coming was un-
heralded and no delegation Of strikers
was at the station to meet them.

POSSIBLE RIVALRY FOR
SOUTH POLE HoNoRs.
Doubt as to Whether Engi shman or
Norwegian Reached it.

London. March While intense in
terest has been aroused in the results
attained by The south polar expeditions
under command OF Captain Roald
Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer,
anu Captain RoDert +. Scott Of the
British navy, respectively. which are
returning from the Antarctic regions,
dispatches which have reached here
on the subject are conflicting. Cap
tain Amundsen has arrived at Hobart,
Tasmania, on the steamer Fran and
according to the first word from that
port Amundsen said that Captain
Scott had reached the pole. Up to
late tonight. however, no word to that
effect had Eeached Mrs. Scott. the wife
of the British explorer, who still doubt
ed the achievement and reiterated her
hope that the news would prove true.
Later however. a Copenhagen cable
said that the Social Demokraten pub
lished news from Christiana to the ef-
feet that a telegram from a member
of the Fran expedition declared that
Amundsen did reach the south pole.
Other reports seem to confirm this.
The reports of Amundsen's success
appear at the same time to have dis
posed of the rumor that Captain Scott
attained the pole None Of the author
tiles here were inclined to credit this
latter report until 1t was confirmed.
Britons entertained fears that Cap
tain Amundsen would win the honors
Of discovery for Norway. His previ
Gus expeditions in Arctic and Antarctic
regions made him a formidable com
petitor. It was he who discovered the
Northwest Passage in 1906, after other
explorers had vainly made the at
tempt for years. Amundsen had with
him on the present expedition a hardy
band Of fellow countrymen, who prob
ably were greatly aided by skis in ira
versing the glacial fee, and he put his
faith IN a great pack Of Siberian dogs
for the supply sledges. He had an ad-
vantage over Captain Scott in the race
for the south pole Of nearly eight
months. his base Of supplies was
nearer the pole by nearly 100 miles
and his was not A scientific expedition
but one designed to take advantage or
