The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-04-17


 Please give details as to when and under whose administration the United States paid a money indemnity for the killing of some Italians somewhere in the south.
 Six Italians were tried in New Or leans on a charge of murdering the chief of police. The jury failed to agree on the case of three of them, and the citizens, believing bribery had been re sorted to, broke into the New Orleans jail in March, 1891, and lynched all the Italians who had been detained in con- nection with the murder. Most of them were naturalized, but some still owed allegiance to the Italian government The United States, through the state department and President Harrison, expressed it's regret, but disavowed all responsibility for the crime, claiming it was a matter entirely under the con troI of the state of Louisiana. The ItaI- ian government demanded a national apology, the payment of an indemnity and the punishment of the lynchers. The United States government refused to comply, whereupon the Italian min ister withdrew from Washington. War talk began to fill the air, and in order to show it's good will the United States finally agreed to pay $25,0OO to the families of the Italians who had been lynched.

from over 5000 correspondents in all
parts of the United States on the
presidential situation in their sew
eral localities After making inves
legations, 1771 of these correspon-

given by these correspondents in
most instances for their conclusions
in the Pacific Coast states Washington
and California are reported as being
likely to be in the Wilson column, Idaho
is about even, and Oregon is given to
Hughes by small margin. In Maine
the reports say that "many republicans

in November. - The correspondents who
made these reports are of all political
