Signor Luzzatti amazed his American
hearers when. after reading his speech on
cooperative banking, he told the COM
missioners his English pronunciation was
the result Of only two hours of study
with an English teacher. Curiosity of
the Americans, once aroused, had to be
satisfied and Luzzatd told them he first
ordered a translation made of his speech,
but that afterwards, he decided to read
IL and, accordingly, requested Mrs.
Agresti, David Lubin's secretary, to ex-
plain to him some of the intricacies of
English pronunciation and that it had
taken Mrs. Agresti just two hours to
teach him how to read his speech.
The American delegates considered the
feat wonderful. as Signor LuzZatti Is
more than seventy years old.
Ambassador O'Brien, in discussing the
Japan-American situation today said:
II do not consider the situation danger
Gus in any sense. There should be no

before ending these relations having sucn
sentimental and economic value to her.

Rome, May 24-The American agricui-

Victor Emmanuel and Signor Luzzatti.
the former Minister of Finance and Agri-
culture and once president of the cabinet.
OF the commissions experience with
King Victor a story is now being told
which. besides throwing more light on
the Kings democratic ideas and disregard
for etiquette, also explains why the dele
gates were so pleased with the reception
at which the King and Queen Elena were
present.
According to the story, on leaving
America, many members of the commits
sion little thought they would come in
contact with crowned heads of several
European countries and failed TO bring
along evening dress suits. Prince Al

$4,000 FOR MADERO'S
MURDER, IS CHARGE
Wild Excitement in Chamber Of Dep
.uties When Charge Is Made in
Opposition to Bill.

Mexico City. May 2L-There was the
widest excitement in the Chamber of
Deputies this evening when Deputy Mo-
heno denounced the bill of 5000 pesos
that was to be paid Cecile L. ocon for
services rendered to the government.
Moheno declared Ocon was the actual
murdered of the late President Madero
and said the money was to pay him
for murder. Deputy Thomas Branifr
backed up Moheno's statement. Other
deputies made the statement in the
chamber this afternoon that, while they
were not Maderistas, they owed to Ma
dero their liberty Of speech. and said
he had shown them how a President
should be deposed.
Fl Heraldo de Mexico today says the
new Felicista Presidential ticket is Felix
Diaz and DR.. Francisco Vasquez Gomez,
the latter now being fugitive from
Mexico. There are many rumors OF bad
feeling between Felix Diaz and Presi-
dent Huerta because of the latter's re-
tention of the Presidency and his fall
ure to set a date for the elections. These
rumors go so far as to say there will be
fighting here soon
Politicians are plotting continually try
ing to stir up trouble and undoubtedly
matters will come to a head before long.

nearly 800 automobiles of American make
nave been imported and sold in GERMANY
curing that time. In the corresponding
eight months of 1872 only eighty-nins
automobiles were imported, while in 1911
only about fifty American-made cars were
brought into the empire As the aggre-
gate value OF the 800 cars imported IN
the past year was only about SesoOnl
whereas the value of the etghty-nine "a
sold in 1872 was considerably greater.
Germans are consoling themselves with
the argument that the success OF IN.

size and cheap construction.
Would-be buyers are warned to bewars

The fact remains that the demand TO.
american automobiles is growing in Ger

England. IN the latter country con-
slderably more than 700 cars were i'm

OF the extent TO which Americans and
other non-German-speaking residents are
increasing in numbers and influence.
Chauvinist papers of Berlin, which are
ever Jealous in defending the German
language from Entertainments of foreign

commenting on this instance as evidence
of the way in which the veracular Is be-

The American colony has been growing

formerly was recruited chiefly from

an automobile driver between Paris and

of a car he said he wished to buy.
Lancien had the audacity after the hold

where he destroyed a batch of COM

The police of Paris are asking whether
the frequency Of such crimes Is not due
to the pestilent influence Of sensational
novelists.
