ASKS
OPPOSITION TO
DEBATE CHARGES

ROME, Jan. 16.-preunier Mussollni

nents to openly debate their accusa-
tions of his completely in the MUIR
der Of the socialist deputy, Matte
otti in the chamber of deputies to-
morrow Matteotti was killed in
June, 1924. and his death has con-
stituted the strongest weapon of
the opponents of fascism and the
most serious blot on the fascist
escutcheon.
Politicians said today that the
affair will be publicly threshed out
tomorrow if the opposition deputies
dare to accept the premier's chal-
lenge.
This question. referred to as "a
moral question" and although. not
specifically named was brought UP
dramatically in the chamber this
afternoon, when deputies Of the pop
ular and social democratic parties
formerly belonging to the Aventine
group, unexpectedly entered the
house during a session devoted to
honoring the memory of the late
queen mother, Margherita.
since the opposition deputies, in
creating the normal question: of the
Matteotti affair Is months ago, pro-
claimed to the nation that they
would not return to parliament until
Mussolini fell, their return this aft
ernoon was interpreted in some
circles as a retraction of their ac-
cusations. The premier hastened to
avail himself ITO this opportunity to
offer proof of his innocence.
He announced dramatically that
the return to the chamber of for
mer members of the Aventine group
created "a moral question which
must be confronted Immediately" he
demanded a special session of the
chamber tomorrow for this purpose,
overruling the objection Of Robert
Farinacci, secretary general of the
fascist party, that the opposition was
too unimportant to warrant atten-
ton.
The premier was extremely pale
when he made his announcement IN
the midst of tense silence, which,
however, gave way to an ovation as
the deputies approved his proposal.
The opposition members, sensing
danger if they remained In the
chamber, where they were vastly
cutnumbered by the excited fascists,
dashed for the exits, pursued by
many fascists.
A bucly sergeant held OH
most of the attackers until nearly
all Of the fleeing deputies had es-
caped, but Paola Cappa, member
of the popular party from Genoa
was seized and thrown out forcioly'
suffering severe bruises. Deputies
Imisi Carbonari and Umberti Merlin
also received injuries. After TINS
incident deputies of the popular
party held a meeting and adopted a
resolution that after the violence
they had suffered, it would be i'm
possible to participate in the work

To Build Permanent Camp On
Barfoot Trail, Pinery Canyon

! Among recent developments in con-
nection with the, location Of q per
manent boys camp fo~ the Young
Mems Christian association, is the
filing of an application with the
forest supervisor for a site of ap-
proximately five acres beginning with
the old charcoal pit in Pincry CAM
Won and extending to the foot Of the
Barfoot trail.
six secretaries, representing four
associations, spent part of two days
on this spot last week, and as
result Tucson, Bisbee and Douglas
have decided to construct perman
ent camp in this location, with the
interstate department helping both to
secure funds and to use the place
as an older boys conference retreat.
Plans for 1926 include the con-
struction Of building "a feet IN
width and 60 feet long, which VIII
contain kitchen, store and bedroom
combined, dining room and auditorium
in one, another bedroom, offlce ana
store room. The floor in this main
building, or lodge as it will be call
ed is to be cemented so that it may
easilv be scrubbed and kept in
sanitary condition. The walls are TO
be screened for a portion of the
way. and will contain swinging VIM
dows which may be closed in case OF
storm.
Friends interested in this project
have already promised to give the
associations taking part, a windmill
and pump, in addition to 1000 feet
of lumber. The well will be sunk
this year in time for use when the
boys arrive for camp in the early
summer. 1t is also hoped that q
concrete swimming pool may be com
pleted before the camp periods begin.
Plans as they will be drawn up by
boys committees from the three as
sociations, will include building
program extending over a period Of
several years so that ultimately the
site will contain enough cottages to
house every boy who goes to camp.
plans are also being made to inter
est other organizations in the build
ing of a cottage each, to be named
after the club and to be used ny
these clubs when not wanted by the
boys during the camp period.
Private individuals who are figur-
ing on securing stiles nearby have
offered their services in the digging
of a well, and in return will he
permitted to put in a pipe line con-
nection from the we'll to their cot
tages.
The camp is situated at an alti-
tude of 5000 feet where it is not 100
hot in summer and where there is
snow at different times in winter
lit is surrounded by pine trees but
the ground itself on which the camp
will be located is clear. From this
spot many hikes are available, in
GLIDING a two-hour tramp to the
famous Pinnacles Rustler's park, the
Barfoot trail, and mvny other beauty
spots.
A new highway is being construct
led through this region by the for
estry service which will connect with
county roads leading to this canyon,
and which will be improved by the
county. The camp is 73 miles from
Douglas, and can be reached easily in
3 1-2 hours driving time.

President Coolidge W a $
charged in the senate today
bv Senator Norris, repuh-
lican, Nebraska, with vio-
lating the laws of the land
through secret understand
ing with his appointees to

Speaking in behalf of resolutions
for the investigation of the tariff

that the president belonged to the
group that believed the commission

noses and that he had used his

He charge that Coolidge reap
nointed David j. Lewis, democrat,
of Maryland, to the commission for
"political purposes, but in bad faith.
Before the appointment was made
the Nebraska Senator said the
president requested Lewis to give
him a blanket letter of resigna-
tion which the president would be
authorized to executive at any time
Although Lewis refused to give the
letter the senator added, the APP
pointment was made.
II wonder how many more resign
ations President Coolidge is carry
ing around to hold over members
of Independent commissions" he
continued. This is a very forceful
method of influencing commissions.

son. former member Of the tariff
commission, and now minister to
