STATUE MANS
NEWSPAPER PLANT
Deputy Sheriffs Take Possession
of I'll Progreso"-Due to
Rivalry, Friends Say.

On an attachment against the property OF
the Italian newspaper III Progreso Italo-
Americana" deputy sheriffs took posses
sion yesterday Of the newspaper plant, at
No. AZ Elm street. The attachment was
the result OF suit brought in the SUI
preme Court by Louis Pirano, a dealer
In wines and groceries, to recover 81 700.
Behind the legal action. according to
Barsottrs friends. lies spite work"
which began with the newspapers pros
perty. His rivals in business are the
publishers of I'll Gornale Italiano." an
other newspaper The claim Of sl70o, II
was said by Barsotti's lawyer, is of long
standing. and involves bill disputed for
many years.
Barsotti Is in Rome. where he has been
for the last two and a half years. Ac-
cording to Antonio Croco, managing edi-
tor OF I'll Progreso." his presence there
was necessitated by prosecution of libel
suits he brought in the italian courts
against newspapers in Rome.
Barsotti IL known as the statue man"
His efforts helped to erect the Columbus
statue in Columbus Circle, the Verazzano
statue In Battery Park and the efiigy OF
Verdi at 14th street. Still another monu-
ment, the statue of Dante, lies ignored on
Il dock In Hoboken. where 1t was placed
when the city authorities refused to find
room for il in the city. The statement
was made that the Dante statue was not
suitable, but Barsottl's friends say that
its erection is prevented by jealousy.
Although the presence OF the deputy
sherlffs in the plant Of III Progreso" was
discouraging, Mr.. Croco denied that there
was any possibility OF suspending publ
cation. He said bond to be filed to-day
had been arranged with the National
Surety Company for an amount sufficient
to cover the judgment.
Barsott won his first libel suit in Rome.
which was against the Rome correspond
ent Of III Giornale ltaliano" for libel In

LEADERS LOOK FOR
AN EXTRA SESSION
Legislature in Deadlock Over
Appropriation Bill, with No
Relief in Sight.
rRy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Albany, March 2O-The Legislature is
facing a deadlock on the appropriation
bill, and Democratic and Republican lead
ers here regard an extra session as almost
inevitable. Senator Cullen said tonight
that an extra session, if called, would be
held either shortly after March q, the
date set for the adjournment OF the
Legislature, or in September or October
The Tammany Senate has refused TO
consider the appropriation bill as amend
ed by the Republican Assembly, declaring
it will not consider the bill until the two
appropriations providing for the Depart
ment Of Efficiency and Economy and the
Fire Marshal's office, cut out by the Re
publicans, are restored
Lieutenant Governor Wagner to-day APP
pointed a Senate conference committee
to consult with a similar committee from
the Assembly in an attempt to adjust the
differences The committee is composed OF
Senators Boylan. Foley and Frawley,
Democrats, and Brown, Republican.
Frawley is chairman.
Some Tammany Senators said that il
the Republicans would compromise by
merely restoring the Fire Marshals ap-
preparation. the Senate would pass the
bill Speaker Sweet, however. declared
that the Assembly would make no com
promise.
Meanwhile the Governor is considering
the report Of Commissioner Delaney OF
the Department of Efficiency and Econ
omy recommending reductions Of more
than 100000 in the state budget. The
report may be submitted to the Demo
cratic Senate for its guidance in revising
the Assembly appropriation bill.
Mr.. Delaney recommends that no APP
preparation be made to the International
Sunshine Society of New York, which
maintains an institution for the care Of
blind children. The report states that the
society had applied for an appropriation
Of sl2, 10 for the maintenance and sup
port Of it's thrty-fve blind pupils, but
holds that this sum should not be given,
as it has been shown to be clearly Illegal
for the society to receive such pupils.
The Department Of Education is the
main sufferer with a suggested cut of
81 O2l, e65 from a desired appropriation of
S. 673S95. A reduction of $l6l,10 in the
appropriation asked for the national
guard Is recommended

COOPERATION PREVENTS
IMMENSE FOREST WASTE
Agricultural Expert Aids the Interior

An immense waste of forest re-

Der on two of the watersheds was
being rapidly killed by insects and
then destroyed by forest fires.
An expert of the bureau of entomo-
logy was sent into the region and
Soon located the insect doing the dam

great affected centerS also were To-

nearly LOO trees, averaging twenty
