FOUR INDICTED
AS BAFF SLAYERS
Jury Accuses Alleged Gun
man "Look-Outs" and
Murder Car Driver.

Four men were indicted yesterday,
charged with the murder OF Barnet
Baf, king" Of the chicken dealers Of
West Washington Market, more than
year ago. They were Giuseppe Art
chiello, the left-handed gunman, who. It
is alleged, fired one Of the t~o shots;
Joseph and Antonio zafarone, alleged
lookout men," and Frank Ferrara, tho
confessed driver Of the murder car.
None of the witnesses heard by the
grand jury was an accomplicc 70 the
crime. .....
"Not one Of the men actually con-
cerned in the shooting OF Baf are to DO
allowed 20 save their lives By being
witnesses for the state" said District
Attorney Swami last night.
Another gunmsn. whose name has
never been divulged by tho police or
the District Attorney, and Antonio Car
dinale, the alleged "paymaster" of the
murder plot, are AZ large. Police say
they will soon arrest the other gun
men. Cardinalc is now corporal,
fighting for Italy in Albania. District
Attorney Swami is communicating with
the State Depai lment 20 have Cardi-
male extradited. if it is shown he Is
naturalized American.
District Attorney Swami had a long
talk yesterday with an Italian who -
known TO have spoken with Tomaso
Lamonte, leader OF Harlem's Little
Italy, Just after he was shot by An
tonic lmpoluzzo last summer. The re-
cent turn in the Baff mystery leads Dir.
Swami TO believe that Lamonte was
killed because he knew too much about
the murder. The friend Of Lsmontes
said many times that the dying man
threw no light on the motive Of his as
salants.
The District Attorney believes that
clews leading 70 the identity Of tho
contributors 70 the Baff murder fund
will be turned up as the prosecute"
of the four indicted men progre----.
He is also sure that the necessary ccr-
roborstng evidence to convict Is at his
disposal.
Witnesses agains. these men in
cluded Carmino Dipolo, one OF the al
legged lockout men who, Ferrara says,
received $3.50 of the blood money;
Frank Cummings, bank clerk, VINO
witnessed the crime; Captain Jones, OF
the Third Branch Detective Bureau,
who took the confession of Ferrara;
Patrick Grofolo, proprietor Of the Mar
ket Garage, where the murder car was
kept, and ha.f dozen policemen inter-
ested in the case.
THE indicted men will be brought 10
trial as soon as possible" said the Dis
trict Attorney.

Chicago, Feb. 2l.-"Breath alone

This quotation from President Of
tho United States, who was not too
proud to fight, was used recently by
John Maynard Harlan, son Of the late
Supreme Court justice, in letter to
Illinois Republicans, in which he an
nounced himself as favoring Theodore
Roosevelt for the Presidential nominee
on the Republican ticket.
Questions, written and verbal, bonn
barded Mr.. Harlan after this quotation,
demanding when and under what cir
cumstances Mr.. Lincoln had used the
phrase. The questions became so nu-
merous that Mr.. Harlan to-day pub
Iished the letter in which tho phrase is
used. IL was written by Mr.. Lincoln
six days after the emancipation proc
lamation. in September. 1862, and was
addressed 10 Hannibal Hamlin, then
Vice President of the United States.
The letter follows:

old. and while commentator in news
papers and by distinguished individ-

the stocks have declined, and troops
come forward more slowly than ever.
This, looked soberly in the face, is not
very satisfactory. We have fewer

days than we had at the beginning -

of Guanaiuato, one of the largest
mining cities of Central Mexico are
dying at the rate of 10 day, ac-
cording to an affidavit made by an
American mining man who has ar

The affidavit, which was forward
ed by Government officials to Wash

had been mistreated by soldiers and
that church property was turned
into bull rings and barracks.
The document goes on to say that
the poor were wearing native grasses
for clothing and eating roots. and
that corn sent by the American Red
Cross to relieve suffering was seized
by officials and sold at $3.50 gold

days after the act goes into effect
Chief Justice White announced to-
day that the Supreme Court would
advance the case to that date in or

Railroad and Government attor-

that the law will not be enforced
until an opinion on its constitution
atty is handed down by the Supreme
Court.
A motion to advance the case was

The test case before the court is the

In fixing Jan. s, the court put the

other cases set for argument that

IMMIGRATION MEASURE
AGAIN PASSED BY SENATE

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE I'M
migration bill containing the re-
strictive literacy test for admission
of aliens which has caused three
Presidents to veto such a measure,
was passed by the Senate today, "a
to Z. The bill, as amended in the
Senate, now goes to conference. 1t
passed the House last session.
The Senate reconsidered the
clause designated to exclude anarch-
lists who teach destruction of prop
erty as propaganda. An amend
ment by Senator Hardwick for the
committee, permitting entry of per-
sons who advocate or teach destruc-
ton of property "in war, insurrec.
ton or revolution" but not other
wise. was adopted.
Authoritative statements have
been made that President Wilson in
tends to veto the bill a second time
because of literacy test. In thi:
event, an effort will be made to pas:
the bill over the veto, two-thirds
majority in each House being re
quired. The bill passed the House
last April by vote of sos to 81
more than a two-thirds' majority
and the Senate vote today, If repeat
ed. would be sufficient to override
