WORKINGS OF THE CAM0RRA
How an Englishman Was Politely
MuIcted of $500 by Italian
Society.

A paean Of rejoicings has gone up
In print over the verdict on the Ca
mora prisoners at Viterbo, and it is
stated-rather previously, fear-that
the great secret society of Italy has
been scotched. That Naples will no
longer be its headquarters is proba-
BILE, but it is so widely spread over
the whole of Italy that it can be no
more killed by imprisoning its Nea-
politan leaders than you can kill an
octopus by cutting off one of its ten
tacles. The society has local branches
in every town OF importance, and 1t
adapts its methods to the status OK
the people whom it bleeds.
How polite the Camorrists can be
true tale of how an Englishman sub
scribed to its funds will show. The
Englishman in question, a married
man, took house in one of the sea-
port towns of Italy, not Naples, and
brought his English furniture with
him. A month or two after he had
taken up residence. very polite ltal-
ian gentleman called on him and pre-
scented him with bill for $500 for
furniture bought from an Italian firm.
The Englishman said that there must
he some mistake, for he had bought
no furniture in Italy. and his visitor
then explained that the bill was the
means by which he might subscribe to
the local branch of the Camorra. and
thus obtain its protection. There was
no hurry about the matter, said the
polite Italian. and II the Englishman
did not care to pay at once the matter
might stand over for six months
The Englishman went TO his consul,
who referred him TO the local head OF
the police. The local head of the po-
lice, talking as an official. promised
him every protection IL he did not In
tend to give the money, but as a pri-
yate individual. suggested TO him that
$500 was not very much to pay to
avoid all the anxiety that was entailed
by being In the black books OF the Ca
mora. The Englishman paid his $500
and holds the bill. duly receipted, for
purely imaginary furniture. bought

HELPING THE FARM INDUSTRY
is Business Proposition With the Rail-
roads and Much Money Is Spent
In That Way.

For a generation or more the rail
roads of this country have been max
ing efforts to- increase the number Of
farmers in certain regions. thus try
ing to promote agriculture, and
through greater agricultural prosper
ity, to increase their revenues de-
rived from hauling farm products.
Within the past decade these efforts
to encourage agriculture have been
extended to include instructions in
methods of farming, investigation OF
farming possibilities of a region, as
sistance in organizing agricultural as
sociations, cooperation with state and
county fairs, employment of farm la
Dor, aid in finding markets, and other
helpful lines of work. These projects
are not confined TO railroad compa-
nies; they are, however, the most
prominent of the several classes OF
business concerns engaged in similar
work.
This promotion work on the part
of the railroads is a business propo-
sition. Improvement In agriculture
means more traffic. and for this reason
large sums of money are being expend-
ed systematically by numerous com;
panies Exchange.

Unnatural Mothers.

It cannot be too strongly reiterated
that maternal love does not necessar-
lily include wisdom. II is natural for
every mother to love her children. but
it does not follow that she knows what
is best for them. The animal mother
does know by instinct; and we. con-
tent to take our pattern of mother
hood from the beasts, have imagined
that we needed nothing more,
We assume that every mother knows
how to care for her children; and, II
we only see her keeping at II lnces-
sanity, we never criticize the method
or results. We have Urgent
need of the unnatural mother-the
mother who has added trained intel
lect to a warm heart; and, when we
have enough OF them. the rarest sound
on earth will be hat now so pithully
common-the crying OF little child

man is required to go back a suffi-
cient distance and with a lantern by
night and a flag by day, together with
torpedoes or fuses, signal any other
train that is going the same way. and
on the same way.
The words a sufficient distance,
permit the flagman to use his own
judgment, and the phrase Is found
in the rules of a great many rail-
roads, big ones as well as little ones.
There are roads, however, which d.
rect that a flagman shall go back to
the fifteenth or twenty-fourth tele-
graph pole from the last car of his
train. Whether he goes a sufficient
distance in his opinion, or for a speci-
fled distance, measured by poles, he is
to step any train that jeopardizes his
own. When his train is ready to
move, the engineer signals him in
with a whistle and then he sprints
over the ties as fast as he can, leav-
ing, it is supposed, one or two torpe-
does on the rails behind.
"The flagman, the engineer and the
conductor are in hurry. Time is so
precious with them that every fraction
of a minute counts. The farther the
fiagman walks away from his train,
the farther he will have to run when
he returns. He is a human being
like the rest of us. Maybe the sun is
pretty hot. Perhaps it is a cold or
rainy night. And "a sufficient dis
lance gives him latitude in a matter
of life and death! Many fagman has

"The flagman of the Overland Elk
press, on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad was to blame, pri-
marily, for the accident at Western
Springs, ILL.,, ON the 18th Of last July.
The train was stopped by signal early
during the morning in a fog. 1t was
being followed by the fast mail. The
trains, so our investigation showed,
were about nine minutes apart. The

case. said that he went back as far
as he could and that he ran part OF

THE trains, remember, had been
about nine minutes apart. In a test,
after the accident, it was found that
a Aagman, at brisk walk, could have
gone back 1927 feet in six minutes.
1t was learned. also. that the fiagman
of the Overland Express put TWO tor
pedoes on the rail, which was simply
cautionary signal. whereas he should
have used but one torpedo, which
would have been signal for the fast
mail train to stop.

Both sides were lined up and pande-

house, as well as on the platform.
Another climax followed ten min

clashed and Pratt attempted to get his
own chair in place of the clerks chair

Attempting to interfere, Represen-

closer in counsel to Pratt than any
other Democrat, was kicked in the
stomach by the speaker. Further vio-

score of the house members were
standing close around the speakers
desk.
Again Pratt declared the house ad-
journed, and stated he had a right,
under the statutes, to call any one to
the chair he chose. Wood maintained
his seat and the sergeant at arms
obeying instructions had refused to let
out any of the members. Judge Metz,
who had no part in the violence around
the speakers table, but whose motion
mad been the occasion of it, conferred
with Representative Sullivan of the
Republicans on behalf of both fac

to adjourn with all motions pending AS
