The Questioner
BY F. w. Reed.

Why are your hands so white,
Soft, and with jewels digit,
Exquisite Lady?
Men kiss them and begem,
Women bend over them,
Tending them. Questioner.
four dainty nail points frail
For labor scarce avail,
Fastidious Lady.
take what others win,
others who toll and spin,
Envious Questioner.
Your brow is smooth and fair;
My child has sweat drops there,
d Why is it, Lady?
thrive on workers sweat,
The poor, alasl must fret,
IT'S their lot, Questioner.
Your back is straight and strong,
My daughter limps along,
How comes it, Lady?
What is your child to me?
Never akin are we,
move Oh, Dase tluesJloner.
Bold is your step and free,
Yet stay and hear from me
A message, Lady
Scum Of the earth, say!
Dare not to block my way
With vile hands, Questioner.
Your silken stuffs enthrall,
Who piled the needle small?
Do you know, Lady?
Beware to touch what's mine!
Swift shall the law consign
You to Jail, Questioner!
This broidered collar rich,
What did it cost to stitch?
Answer me, Lady!
Take your hands from my throat!
1t cost but half groat.
Mercy! Dread Questioneri
It cost my child her eyes,
Helpless and blind she lies,
To your knees, Ladyi
Help! Help! oh, give me breath!
Whom have done to death?
My sister, Questioner.

NO NEED TO DRINK
State Police Commission Objects To Officers sampling Evidence In Liquor Violations,

Hartford, June 1S,--The state DO. lice commission has notined Super intendent Robert T. Hurley that in the opinion Of the commission if is never necessary for State policeman 10 drink liquor for tho purpose of se- curing evidence against persons charged with the violation of the law. The matter was brought forcibly to the attention of the commission by the admission of state policeman that he had drank liquor for tho pur- pose Of detecting crime while at work on case.
 Commissioners Frederick. M.' Sal mon and Robbins B. Stoeckel made Il tour of inspection of the state police districts in the four counties east of the Connecticut river. Tuesday. They found that in each district the men were doing satisfactory work in de- tecting violations Of law particularly of the liquor laws. and that their con- trol of traffic was efficient they said. They returned from their tour fully satisfied that the equipment of all ihe barracks was inadequate from the fact that there was no provision for safeguarding evidence which the men secured. Commenting on this they said this was particularly true in fhe case of bootlegging when liquors were seized. There ought to be, in the opinion of the commissioners. part of each barracks set aside for the storing of liquors seized. and fl should he built much more strongly than the barracks building itself. There was always the danger of losing material evidence of guilt with the present ar- engagements in the barracks.

STATEMENT ISSUED
 ON MATTEOTTI CASE
Seni-Formal Item Tells Of
 Prosecution Plans
By the Assnciated Press.

By the Associated Press
 Rome, June 1S.--A official statement on the Matteotti case was issued today. The statement, given out by the Stefani Agency, says:
 The Matteotti crime has caused a wave of great indignation among the public in general and the Fascist in particular, but the situation is being viewed with great calmness.
 Almost all the newspapers recog- nize now that the authorities are on the right train to punish the insti- gators of the crime. The authors of it have all been arrested and the police are engaged in pursuing some Of the accomplices.
 Premier Mussolini desires that full justice be meted out to whoever IS guilty. The appointment of a new minister of the interior and the re- placement of the direct general of public safety and the arrests of the only four suspects who were reported to have fled across the Italian frontier are considered with satisfaction by public opinion. This may explain the tranquality and absolute calm which the country is enjoying and the com plete failure of manifestations and protest strikes planned in some places.
 Great organizations of workers, socialists and Catholics and other par ties urged their members to remain quiet and abstain from manifesto tions Only few street brawls have occurred between Fascist and anti Fascist students in universities,
 "The situation now may be consid- cred as quite normaL so that the government has no need to have re- course to exceptional police measures and is able 10 permit all parties, as well as the newspe pers. to enjoy ab- solute liberty"
 Newspaper accounts today say one of the men arrested in the Matteotti case has partially confessed the crime, trying to throw the actual guilt on another. He declared his only part in the affair was to supply tho automobile. These accounts assert that Matteotti was kidnapped and killed. They say nothing Of what dis posal was made of the hody.
