DOVER, Del. Sept. 21.-Nicholas
samoni. one OF the gang Of Italians
who had been working at the Atlantic
Canning Company's plant at Reho-
both, and who left with the rest Of
the gang late yesterday afternoon,
following the burning OF the canning
factory, was arrested late last night
al Niddletown, by state Detective
F. B. Murphey, OF Dover; Constable
r z. James and Railroad Detective
Willidm Palmer.
Samoni was taken 10 Kent county
fail over night and this morning was
taken by Detective Palmer TO George
town and Rehoboth with the idea OF
ascertaining what he might know
about the cannery fire.
II is alleged that a remark to the
effect that IF Italians were to be sent
away and Negroes employed for the
rest of the season they would be sorry
for It" was overheard in a store at
Rehoboth a few nights ago and that
such a remark was made by an Ital-
ian.
Snmoni insists that he is innocent
OF any connection with the affair
and expressed a willingness TO ap-
pear at Rehoboth or anywhere else 10
answer questions.
When the Italians and Bohemians
from Baltimore and other cities were
discharged from the Atlantic Canning
! Company plant on Wednesday, the
company intended 70 finish the ra
mainder OF the season with Negro
help. as the production az canned
goods was falling OF with the wan'

Notwithstanding the detention Of tn
Italian workman, there is a widespread
feeling that the destruction of the can

Il had succeeded in befuddling the
Russian public almost TO the point Of
hopelessness when I left-to the point
where the insane cry is for blood. Rus
sia's armies are holding at nay ninety
and half divisions Of German troops
$4,000 men-while Germany cOncen-
irates on her intrigue. Russisn army
officers are keeping together enough OF
their forces to stop the German war
machine. They are super-heroes.
At home Kerensky is an open target
for a concentrated campaign Of malig-
nant villincation, scandal, intrigue, and
even attempted assassination.
German intrigue in Petrograd stops
al nothing. It fostered a mysterious
story recently that the premier was a
morphine flend, having contracted the
/ habit following an operation a year
ago.
Another lie which the Kaiser's agents
industrlously circulated was that Ker-
ensky has divorced his wife and mar
ried an actress. Utterly untrue, these
scandalous insinuations found some
credence. One small newspaper even
published them.

will address meetings and interview

"They should be Of Southern birth,
if possible and Democrats, because
Southern Women know just how to
appeal to the South, and only Demo-
cratic Women receive any recognition,
if sent.
"They must be well grounded in the
stand the need for the Federal Amend

will go into the territory where pre-
