P|zzO ARRESTED IN
 CONNECTION WITH
 KIDNAPPING CASE
Taxicab Proprietor Impli- cated in Abduction of Miss Mary Vitalena, Claim
 the Police

On the eye of his wedding day, Joe Pizzo the proprietor of a taxicab stand at First avenue and Twentieth street, was arrested last night about 10:30 o'clock by Detectives Brown, Daily and Williams and placed in the city jail on the charge of Kidnapping.
 The arrest was in connection with the sensational abduction of Miss Mary Wit alena on Monday night at Avenue c and Twenty fourth street.
 According to Pizzo his arrest is all a very sad mistake, as it entirely disar- ranges the plans of his wedding which was scheduled for Il o'clock this morn ing.
 'I told the detectives this morning all that I knew of the Kidnapping said Joe they promised not arrest me or to men ton my name in the case. Now I am in jail. Geei that's tough luck.
 ''I didn't know anything about any kid naping. Monday night this fellow Tony Daidono comes to me and hires my ma- chine in front of the Metropolitan hotei. We go to Twenty-fifth street and Avenue c, and two or three fellows get off and go away. After while they come back with a girl I think she's a tough girl and pay no attention to her yelling. Once, though, she did yell so hard and fight so much, I stopped the automobile and say to Tony, I don't want to make no more monkey business Tony, he's just stick a gun against my ear and say: Go ahead and I go ahead. l be a d. fool if I.dont
 Now I have marriage license and the music and everything fixed up for a big wedding in Pratt City tomorrow. Maybe I'll make bond in the morning and get married just the same"
 It was from Joe Pizzo yesterday morn- ing that Detectives Crenshaw, Brannom, Macke and Pittman secured the informa- ton regarding the whereabouts of Tony Daidono and the kidnapped young woman and which resulted in the thrilling res cue yesterday afternoon at Republic, a Birmingham.
 A warrant charging Kidnapping will be sworn out this morning against Pizzo and he will be transferred to the county jail.
 Pizzo expressed great fear last night that friends of Diadono would seek to avenge themselves on him because of his confession. He stated that the detec- tives should never have told where they secured their information

DECLARATION TO
 MANUFACTURERS

Washington, September IA declaration from the state department to American manufacturers of war material pointing out the restriction on such shipments inn posed by American neutrality In the Eu- ropean war, will be requested by the House foreign affairs committee. This de- cision was reached today by the commit tee after a long discussion of thes Bart holdt resolution calling for information as to steps taken by. this government to pre- cent violations of neutrality and asserting that armored automobiles. and guns were being shipped to England and France via Canada from American factories.
 Representative Martholdt said that he had received protests from German Amer ican citizens against such shipments as a discrimination against Germany and Aus tria.
 The committee agreed that American manufacturers had the right to sell, at their own risk, to any government pro- vided they do not discriminate between belligerents. AS Germany is not in po- sition to insure transportation, Represen- tative Bartholdt suggested that the state department warn manufacturers to use extreme care to avoid even the appear ance of discrimination.
 The committee took no action on the resolution.

WAKE OF THE WAR

Philadelphia, September 1.--Dr. Ar thur Mudra, German consul at Phil adelphia, today officially called the at- tention of William H. Berry, collector of customs, to the fact that the Amer ican line steamship Merton, which flies the British flag, and which arrived here today from London and Queens town, had four six-inch guns mounted on her decks. The German consul said he had made no protest to the collec- tor, but expected him to consider the question of the Merton clearing from here with mounted guns under the neu- trality proclamation.
 Collector Berry has referred the question to Washington. It is ex- pected that the action to be taken in the case of the British steamer Adri- atic, which arrived in New York several days ago with guns mounted, will be followed in the case of the Merion.
 The captain of the Merton said the guns on his ship were for protective purposes only.
 The Merton brought AS passengers from England and expects to sail for Liverpool in a few days.
