Tennyson's Vision

''The fact that Tennysons vision of the last great war preceding universal peace has not been quoted by anyone, as far as l have seen, shows. I am afraid, that my favorite poet is not as we'll read as he deserves to be- said the Rev. Father Coyle yesterday. q remember, long be- fore the advent of the dirigble and the aeroplane, reading and considering wildly improbable these lines in Lockley Hall. that now we may any moment see veri- fled:
 " For l dipt into the future, far as human
 eye could see,
 Saw the vision of the world, and all the
 wonder there would be: /" Saw the heavens full of commerce,

 down with costly bales; {" Heard the heavens full with shouting,
 and there rain'd ghastly dew From the nations airy navies grappling

VVl HAT hnaliy 0r0ke most Of the \A/ power of a secret society that
 had plundered and blackmailed
 all Italy for more than 300 years was the trial in 1911 of the Camorra for the Cuoco- To murder. This society had it's head | thousands. The police were powerless to prevent anything that these brigands did and all honor is due to Erminio Capizzuti
 for eventually bringing them to justice. l This was not done in a week or a
 month, but took him more than two 1 years. He lived as a Sardinian and be-
 came friendly with Gennaro Abbatemag
 to be Camorrist. Winning his way into
 the coachman's confidence he at last be- came member of the society. His first assignment was to rob an English lady of dog and then return it and claim the reward. For this he received about a two-hundredth part of the re- ward. Pretending to Abbatamaggo that he wanted higher and more dangerous
 work he asked the names of the leaders,
 who he had never met.
 That" said Abbatemaggio, q could not tell I even know of the Cuocolo
 murder, but I never tell, for have taken my oath.
 What is this oath?" said Capuizzutl. "Ah, It is something terrible" and he repeated it:
 ''I swear on my honor to be faithful to the Camorra, as the Camorra Is faith full to me As my flesh is now burned and drop of my blood is now split, so
 may my body be consumed and all my
 blood shed if I ever break faith with or leave the Camorra.'
 But despite this terrible. oath, he did tell how the gang crept up behind the stool pigeon Coucolo and stabbed and beat him to death on the streets and then went to his apartments and murdered his wife, Maria.
 All this information was sent by the spy to the minister of justice. Forty Camorrists were arrested. Abbatemaggio was held as informer and on March 6, | 1911, they were held on trial 1 The prisoners were all placed in big
 cage, and the informer in a separate one
 This, by the way, he considered great
 honor and thought himself the main man
 of the case. The supposed leader of the
 gang was Enrco Alfano, who was ar rested in Brooklyn, by Detective Joseph Petrosino. The detective was later as-

l ing the results reached by the com mittees was the treaty for the peace ful adjustment of international diff ferences. This was regarded indeed as the growing work of the confer ence.
 It was provided by the conference that each of the signatory powers there are 26 of them shall appoint for a term of six years as members of the permanent court not more than four persons of recognized competence in international law enjoying the high est moral reputation While these members constitute permanent court of arbitration, they do not sit as a collective body; but "when two or more nations have a case to submit to arbitration, they select by mutual agreement one, three or five members who will act as the tribunal" to try tHe case III QueSClOn.
 Although The Hague tribunal has been in existence only about fifteen years, it has adjudged several inn portant cases. The first decision rem dered was on October IA, 1902, in the matter of the Pious fund of the Cali fornias, between the United States and Mexico-a very knotty case. Other decisions were as follows:
 Respecting the financial claims of the creditor nations of Venezuela; respecting the difference between France, Germany and Great Britain on the one hand and Japan on the other, relating to leases held in perpetuity; in the matter of the Casa Blanca dis pute between France and Germany; in the matter of the dispute between Great Britain and France respecting the right of Muscat Dhows to fly the French flag; the maritime boundary between Norway and Sweden; the north Atlantic fisheries case between the United States and Great Britain; the Orinoco steamship case between the United States and Venezuela, and the "Savarkar" case between Great Britain and France.

I sassinated at Palermo and the crime was laid to the revenge of the gang.
 In the trial over 700 witnesses were heard. but not much was learned from their evidence. The men accused of the murder were Dorado Softini, Nicola Nor ra, Antonio Cerrato, Marine di Genaro, Guiseppi Salvi and Enrico Afano. while Giovanni Rapi and all the others were accused of being instisators of the crime.
 The president of the court was Bianchi Among the prisoners was a priest, Giro Vitozzi, in his clerical garments. Among the 42 prisoners of whom many died be- fore the trial was ended. there was but one woman, Maria Stendardo. Through out the trial the accused generally ex- hibited a defiant demeanor. Some of them ragged, while on other occasions they hurled storms of invective at the judge. The evidence produced was mostly try ing to prove the whereabouts of the crim- inals at tho dates of the meetings and the day of the murder. Denials were hurled wholesale and in some instances, but for the alertness of the gendarmes, riot would have broken out In one case Alfano yelled "Abbatemaggio, you de-
 
 Testifying against Cortino as one of the actual assassins of Cuocolo, Abbatemag- gio said that Sortino had said everything in his evidence falsely. When Sortino protested otherwise. Abbatemaggio said with a bow and mock deference:
 'Ah, well, I suppose you know better than I do, you were there" At Viterbo on July s, Bianchi pronounced the dread words of guilty Sortino was convicted lsof both murders; Nora, Cerrato, Ge- narro, guilty of the murder of Cuocolo; and Salvi, guilty of the murder of the dead mans wife. They were all sem tenced to 30 years Imprisonment together with the accessories, Alfano and Rapi. Another, Marinis. when he heard the sen- tence pronounced, drew blunt instru- ment from his pocket and sawed away at his throat. He was removed from the court in a dangerous condition. All others received five years imprisonment with the exception of Vitozzi, who was sentenced to seven years.
 Only seven yere discharged. Rapi cast his eyes the ground, moaned, and bel- lowed like a wounded animal Cerrato was removed in state of collapse. Others only murmured long "Addos,' and seemed to leave the court with regret. while all beaped terrible curses on tho head of the informer, Abbatemaggio. This ended the remarkable trial which lasted in itself over IS months and which took five years to bring about.
