 Great excitement was caused in the capital tonight by the report that Signor BoIlati, Italian ambassador at ing in the street It was learned later, however, that the incident was not so serious as at first reported and that the police had begun a rigid in vestfgation. Letters of regret were sent to Signor Bollatt by Chancellor Won oIlwes and Foreign Minister Won Jagow.

 In spite of disavowals by high Ger man officials of the attack upon the Italian Ambassador at Berlin, Rome newspa pers consider the incident a grave reflection upon Italian dignity. The Idea NazfonaIe declares that the excuses of the German chancellor and Foreign Minister are insufficient and that the insult must be revenged.

Want Present Law to Stand

Bishop Frederick J. Kinsman, of the
Episcopal diocese of Delaware, Bishop
John j. Monaghan, of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Wilmington, and
DR.. E. L. Hoffecker, superintendent of
the Wilmington district of the Whining
ton Methodist Episcopal Conference, to-
gether with thirty-one prominent clergy
men of other denominations, have Joined
in a protest against the proposed
amendment to the marriage laws of
Delaware.
The action of these clergymen is due
to their belief that if the bill pending
before the legislature becomes a law,
Wilmington's former unsavory reputa-
ton as gretna green will be restored.
The protesting ministers declare that
the law as it stands is satisfactory to
them, and they are especially opposed
to any change in the provisions, which
prohibit non-residents marrying within
less than ninety-six hours after obtain
ing license. The proposed amendment
would permit non-residents to marry
within six hours after procuring Ii
censs.
