Chicago. Dec Hog prices took
decided upward swing today on ac-
count of a big failing off in receipts
here and at other western censers.
During the first four days OF the
week there have been about 204,2o0
hogs received at Chicago. being 1851
more than same days last week, 41.ooo
more than year aso and 1880 more
than arrivals for corresponding period
two years ago. Al the present rate or
arrivals there will be over a quarter
million hogs received at Chicago this
week. Wednesdays run included about
1000 hogs to packers direct from other
markets. Shippers are getting back in
the trade and taking fair numbers OF
hogs, which helps the trade in the free
area, from where shipments can be
made.

STUDIES LAW;
 WINS NEW TRIAL

The two years fisht for freedom by Joseph De Nlgris from his cell in Sing Sing will be rewarded. Assistant District Attorney Weller recommended to Judge Mulqueen of general sessions yesterday that De Nigris' application for new trial be granted, and the judge is expected to comply with the request this week, says the New York World.
 be Nigris, who was a conductor for the Peterborough railroad was convicted In 1912 of a serious offense against Maria Sortino and was sentenced by Judge Null queen to not less than five or more than lo years in Sing Sns-the limit penalty.
 De Nigris declared the girl and her stepmother, the only witnesses against him. had committed perjury. His appeal to the appellate division was on this con tention and in July, l9l2 hls conviction was affirmed.
 The convict, having no funds to employ counsel. studied law In his cell and pre- pared brief asking for new trial Friends learned of his efforts and assist ed him In getting new evidence.
 The main point in dispute was the age of the girl. She and her stepmother tes- tified that she was born on August is, 1895. at Caccamo, Italy. Ex-Assemblyman Louis A. Cuviller obtained n certificate from the mayor of Caccame, stating that the vital records of that town did not show the girl was born there.
 The Ellis Island records showed that when Maria Sortino arrived, June 9, 1906 she gave her age as 12 years. According to thls she must have been 1s years and month old at the time et the alleged offense.
 De Nigrls forwarded these statements to Judge Mulqueen. with brief he had prepared. Mir. Weller obtained from the mayor of Partinico, a town near Cac- camo a record of Maria Sortino's birth which showed De Nigris was right. The girl and her mother have returned to Italy.

London Shudders at Announcement That Gabrielle d'Annunzio Means to Live There-Poet With

By HAYDEN CHURCH

London, June 6.-(Specia1.) )--Mrs. Humphrey Ward has this week put the finishing touches on a novel to be en- titled Della Blanchfiower" that will probably stir up some commotion. not only because 1t is, I am told, more of a straight-away exciting story. like "Lady Roses Daughter" and the Mar riage of William Ashe"i than anything she has written for long time. but also because 1t contains some episodes that will not please the nose militant of the suffragettes.

 Mrs. Ward, in fact, is evidently not 10 sweeping an anti-suffragette as she was supposed to be. judging by letter from her to which The Times pays the honor of its largest type

Kett Angry

Nett Angry
 George Kett of South Africa is angry. The British press, 1t seems, refuses to recognize him, although there are not a few, so he says, who regard him as one of the big literary geniuses of the present day. In fact, according to Kett, his literary works have been bracketed for power and technique by practically the whole of the South Afri- can press, with such writers as Keats, Tennyson, Browning, Milton, Spencer and Shakespeare. and this fact is known to the editors of British jour nalism," yet the latter won't give the author so much as a single review.
 This is what annoys Kett. who ad- dresses a passionate complaint, dated Johannesburg, to the editor of a lit erary weekly here. Evidently Kett be- lieves there is a conspiracy against him here, for in his screed, which is addressed TO the Public of Great Britain," and begins, Fellow Country men," he declares:
 "To the eternal disgrace of the Press-cu Publisher combine of our common country, have to put on rec ord the fact that from A. D. 1900 to A. D. 1914, although not less than 80 cop les of my various (Poetical Works) had been distributed for review-at a time when British Journalism was con tinually deploring the supposed cir cumstances that the country seemed unable to produce any more great work
 not one--from the London Times downward--condescen to give one line of review to the aforesaid 'Worixs;' and only one-The Westminster Ga- zette'-even acknowledged their exist ence.
 Kett thinks that such treatment of genius by the British press is big mistake What chance has England" he asks wrathfully ito maintain her position in the world of letters, when her press acts in sucha way? Is it not as If the Works in question were of the ephemeral sort; they were classics or nothing. Was 1t not for the British press to have shown either that the South African press had given the world false estimate of these works, or to have vindicated It's judgment My experience would seem to have been of the nature of casting pearls before class of animals popularly supposed to prefer husks. If they were not pearls, 1t was for the British papers to say so and to prove 1t, because litera- ture Is a matter of national importance Since then I have challenged the world of today to exhibit any other so great literature"
 After which modest challenge. Kett concludes.
 "To the ,,literates of our land. my final word is Write. if you will; give the land immortal work, If you can but don't expect any fair play for it. !" Really 1t is too bad of British editors and publishers-not to let us have our Kett.
