STRIKE IN ITALY
ONLY REHEARSAL"
Those Responsible for the
Movement Promise Rev.
dictionary Drama.
CHURCH PROPERTY
SUFFERS SEVERELY
Pope Hears of Ii Places Burned,
SO Damaged and %
Looted.

Rome, June 1.-THE press generally
reviewing the risings which have oc-
CURED throughout Italy. concludes that
these were not due merely to the excite
ment Of the moment. but constituted a
regularly planned political revolution,
which succeeded for forty-eight hours In
somewhat grotesque manner, but was
sufficiently grave to cause not only very
considerable material damage but encr-
NOUS moral injury. as it resulted in over
throwing the authority Of the state.
The "Giornale d'Italia" concludes an
editorial on this subject by condemning
the system tacitly accepted whereby the
different workmens unions leagues. con-
declarations, syndicates and labor cx-
changes have usurped the executive pow
er, and urging the necessity of restoring
the principle OF state authority. The po-
litical leaders, the paper declares, should
strive to have proper respect paid to the
law. instead Of seeking for artificial per-
sonal popularity.
Those responsible for the revolutionary
movement in Romagna, which includes
the provinces OF Bologna. Ferrara, Ra-
VIENNA and Forll. now declare that the
events OF the last week have only been
general rehearsal. and that the first
presentation OF the revolutionary drama
will be given soon and will "go" better.
Church property suffered severely In
the riots accompanying the strike. ac-
cording to reports presented TO the Pope
to-day These show that fourteen
churches we're burned and thirty-nine
damaged, while twenty-three others were
looted.
Bologna, June 15.-Rioters to-day set fire

MORE FAIRGROUNDS SOON
Polk Puts Vacant Lots To Be
Used Under Park Head.

Through the instrumentality Of the
Safety First Society a number of vacant
lots will be opened as Fairgrounds for
children almost Immediately. Corporation
Counsel Polk yesterday defined the legal
liability Of the owners and the city for
any accidents which might happen on
land used for such purposes.
Mr.. Polk holds that no liability will at
tach to the owners provided that there is
no inherently dangerous defect Of con-
struction in and upon the lots used. His
opinion places the responsibility upon the
city by automatically extending the
Jurisdiction of the Park Commissioners
over the lots.

We keep him there" Mr. Nevinson then
referred TO the incident at court when
Miss Bloomfield Frustrated herself before
the throne and petitionec the King to

IF YOU cannot make a petition like

his Majesty paid no attention but pre-
served his dignity and calm. l say it is
a false dignity and an unworthy calm.
