ROME AND BERLIN
PLAN TRADE DEAL
May Exchange Non-War Prod
ucts-Friendly Relations
Still a Mystery.

Rome, Nov. 5.-Existing relations
between Italy and Germany again are
the object Of interest among Italian
political observers. Neither has de-
clared war on the other. and both
countries seemingly are avoiding any
thing which might embitter their IN
tercourse.
Reports from Berlin say that several
thousand Italian workmen are living
in Germany unmolested, indeed. enjoy
ing the thorough protection OF the au-
thorities. while many Germans still re-
side in Italy without suffering injury.
What Is more remarkable, in the
opinion of prominent Italians. is that
negotiations are actually taking place
with a view to an exchange Of certain
products which do not bear directly on
the war.
In some well informed quarters il Is
thought that when Italy denounced the
Triple Alliance and Joined the Entente
Allies she made a declaration to the
Entente that her participation in the
war was limited 10 fighting Austria

it is true that a man has been stabbed

Attacks on Warden.

Albany, Nov. 5.-Luther T. White. o,
Tsrrytown. recently dismissed as su-
perintendent OF industries in Sing Sing
prison, conferred with Governor Whit
man al the Executive Mansion here
late to-day and discussed conditions
existing at the institution. The Gov
ernor refused TO disclose the nature OF
their conference, except as 70 the gen
eral subject.
After the conference Mr.. Whitman
declared that his position toward The
management of Sing Sing prison under
Warden Thomas Mott Osborne was un-
changed. 1t was learned that the Gov
crnor had read the report submitted 20
aim by DR.. Rudolph Diedling. OF Sau-
gerties, member OF the State Prison
Commission, and felt that most of il
was based entirely upon hearsay evil
dence and upon the testimony of con-
victs who for various reasons dIsliked
the warden.
The Executive also took the position
that Diedline's charge made in the re-
port, that Warden Osborne had refused
him permission 10 see certain convicts
was silly. He asserted that Dledl.ng
was not sent TO the prison by the State
Prison Commission, that he went as an
individual member, and had no au-
thority 20 dem; ID any information
from the warden.
1t was asserted by Governor Whitman
that he was not trying TO aid Osborne
but he felt that while there may have
been some mistakes in the manage
ment of the prison, that the Osborne
plan was step toward improving con
ditions that needed improvement. HI
reiterated his belief that the plan haC
in no way been proved failure.
AS to the charges of mismanagement
the Governor declared that many ale
cations had been made that Warden 0s
bornehad violated the law and that i
any one had evidence Of such violations
it was his duty to produce it before th'
Westchester County grand jury.
Governor Whitman said that he hat
told District Attorney Weeks OF West
chester County, who is conducting al
investigation into the conditions a
Sing Sing. that he would aid him il
any way possible, and that he intended
to do this, but also intended to see jus
tice done Warden Osborne.
"The attacks on Warden Osborne ar,
very largely political declared tn

tenance that"

U. S. SUSPENDS SHIP RULES
Executive Order Affects New Laws
Safety at Sea Provisions.

Washington, Nov. 5.-An executive
order was issued to-day suspending the
operation Of the safety at sea provi-
sions of the new seamen's law, so far
as they would afec; foreign built ships
admitted TO registry under the foreign
registry act of 1914. This act author
lied the President to suspend all in
spection features OF the navigation
laws affecting foreign built ships ap-
plying for American registry.
An executive order issued in Sep
tember. 1914, suspended such laws for
two wears, and it was supposed that it
would automatically suspend the
amendments to the inspection laws
conta. ned in the seamen's law. At
torney General Gregory held that a
new executive order would be neces-
ssry 10 cover amendments TO the laws
suspended.

NEWMAN JUBILANT
OVER HIS CAPTURE
Confident Now That Sons Slayer
VIII BE Indirectly Punished
for That Crime.

william V. Cleary will probably be
arraiened this morning before Justice
A. S. Tompkins in the Supreme Court
at New City to plead TO fourteen In
dictments. thirteen Of which charge
grand larceny In the second degree.
The fourteenth count specifies that he
was unlawfully in possession Of the
revolver with which he killed Eugene
". Newman. his son-in-lsw.
Cleary. who was captured IN Wash
ington on Thursday, after a search
lasting several months, will undoubt-
edly experience considerable trouble
in arranging for his liberty pending
trial It Is the custom to make the
bail discouragingly high in the cases
Of men as slippery as the former
Democratic boss of Haverstraw has
shown himself 10 be. So, with the
power to make the bail on each indict-
ment from $1,000 to $4,000. there is
small likelihood that Justice Tompkins
will set the total amount at q figure
much under $4,000.
That sum would have been easy 70
raise in Cleary's behalf In other days,
but In the present temper Of the decent
element in Rockland County-which ex-
pressed itself sharply on Election Day
the man who goes out OF his way to
befriend the acquitted murderer Is des-
tined TO earn almost a. much unpopu-
larity as Cleary has fallen heir to. Too,
the possibility that CleaEy might de-
eide to take another trip II he were
released on bail Is occasioning pro-
found thought by persons whose natu-
raj inclinations are to put up the
money.
Friends Dropping Away.
Though murder Is higher crime
han larceny, it Is TO be questioned
whether Cleary Is not now more gen.
orally hated, at least in Haverstraw,
J than he was in the period between the
Staying OF Newman and the discovery
! that his accounts as Town Clerk Of

| though rather for business than for
| personal reasons. The Cleary issue
swung Haverstraw, normally Demo.

I Cleary, in Jail at New City, was in a
very discouraged condition yesterday
! He sent out word that he would not
/ make any statement at this time. His
wife, Mrs. Kate Cleary, went up TO see
him yesterday morning, and was with
him for two hours. Then she returned
to her apartment in the Graylene, 6l0
West i52d Street, this city. His
brother, Ambrose, who succeeded Will
lam as town clerk, and who goes out OF
Office on January /, talked with him
yesterday afternoon.
Their conversation was principally
about the bail question. Both Clearys
know that the amount Is TO be high,
and they ran over list Of perst ms who
might be willing TO effect the pr soner's
release.
