SAY VON BUELOW SOUGHT
 TO KEEP PEACE IN ITALY

Rome. May 26-Prince vons Bue- low, the German ambassador. who. has now returned to Berlin, is report ed by the Giorna1e D'Ita1ia to have declared in an interview that he came to Italy in the hope of bringing about an Austro-ItaIian rapproachment of a concrete base, that Austria undoubt- edly had always treated Italy unfair 1y and that Germany attached SUI preme importance to the preservation of friendly relations with Italy which meant the maintenance of Italian neutrality Italian public opinion must understand. however. the Prince said, that an attack upon Austria meant an attack upon Germany.

ventures turned out. In the justice court they fought the prosecution stoutIy with the aid of an able law year and had means enough to bring witnesses in their behalf from New York and Danbury Rather an ir- anent them in the Superior court last week was the shifting of the blame upon the woman and virtually the exculpation of the man. This was in direct contradiction of the old common law theory. which favored the wife, on the assumption that where they figured as accomplices in wrong doing. she acted under the domination of her husband and therefore should be regarded as mparativeIy inno- cent Evidently the reverse of this happened in the case of the Cross mans.
 At their meeting on Saturday the selectmen will probably make ap- points of tax collector and grand jul TOT to fill the vacancies arising from the incapacity off J. H.. Duncan. There appears to be no rush of appli- cants for either position, in fact it might be said that there are no ap- plicants, although naturally names have been suggested and the list may be further expanded. For collector the list so far comprises former col 1ector Elbert M. Sanford, Lew War ner,3 w. H. Hazen and B. B. Banks. That any one of them would accept is not certain. Selectrnan Barnes has been urged to become grand iu- TOT because of his superior quaiiffca- tions, but says that he doesn't see how he can because of the present demands upon his time Sanford H. Osborn seems to be the next best selection, but his attitude about ac- ceptance is not known

Politics and diplomacy had played
out. The owners Of the courts re-
fused justice. And assassination was
thereby promoted.
Ordinarily considered, assassina-
is attempt upon the life of an indiVid-
UaL Revolution is merely attempt
upon the life of a condition. Had
King George Ill come to this country
in July, 1776, he would surely have
needed whole armies as bOdyguard.
In July, 1915, Rockefeller needs a
bodygUard for the same reasons. In
Colorado the inalienabIe rights have
been denied by the Rockefeller money
power When the individual and the
condition deprive men of these rights
beyond hope of peaceful redress,
some men will become assassins Of
the Individual, if the condition cannot
be reached. Hence, it is wise and
necessary in Mr.. Rockefeller to guard
himself in Ohio because of what he
has done in Colorado. This may be
a horrible reflection upon our gov
eTnmental theories, but you can wa
ger that if the necessity wasn't there
John Rockefeller wouldn't be putting
his money into it.

ONEHOI LEO Tx ElEND-
The guard about Rockefeller's
Cleveland residence has been greatly
increased through fear of assassins,
says a Cleveland dispatch.
The extra caution is wise. Mr..
Rockefeller, has every reason to fear
assassins. Assassins are the natural
sons of Mr.. RockefeHer's business
policies.
Take the case Of Lawson of Colo
RADIO, labor leader convicted of muir
der through no other means and for
no other reason than ROckefelleT's
ownership of Colorado politics, Of
ficials and machinery of the laws.
The poor man has no hope beyond
the courts. If the courts fail him he
naturally turns to assassination, if
his suffering is heavy enough and he
has courage enough. Ultimate de-
spair means ultimate assassination of
the condition or of those responsible
for the condition.
John Adams, Ben Franklin, Thos.
Jefferson, Robert Morris, Roger Sher-
man, Robert Treat Paine and all
those other old heroes of July, 1776,
were assassins. They declared that
when any form of government be-
comes destructive of mans inalieha-
BILE rights of life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness, it is right to abolish it,
and, with the aid of other assassins
like George Washington, Putnam,
Wayne, Allen, Nathan Hale, Henry
and others they assassinated King
Georges government of this country.
