INSURGENT FIGHT TO SENATE
Democrats May Be Called Upon to
Arbitrate Differences.
RESULT CANNOT BE PREDICTED
I'roareaal ves Assert Democrat n nild
Support Them as Inclined Toward
Itrlnrm Tronlilt Over the .
Finance Committer.
WASHIN'OTOy. April 22. Democrats
of tlie senate may he called upon to arbi
trate the differences between the republi
can rgtilars and prorsive. over the ques
tion of comlttee assignments.
This unprecedented situation was pre
dicted tonight following the adjournment
of a meeting of the republican, committee
on committees at which the demand of
the progreslves for the right to dictate
one-fourth of the republican members on
all committees was Spain dented.
The progressives did not nsk for a
formal recognition, but this made no dir.
ference In the vote of seven to four by
which their original demand were de
feated. It was said th progressives will ap
peal to the senate from th assignments
of the committee on committees snd In
this way the democrats will be called to
settle the difficulty. '
Neither of the republican factions Is
disposed to shirk th responsibility of the
situation. If the dispute gets Into the
hand of democratic senators It Is pre
dicted the result may be of far more Im
portance. Th snarl would b such that
no one could forecast th legislative re
sults of th session.
Demorrmla' Aetloa 1'ad.ertaed.
Just what'aotlon the democrat would
take a arbitrators s speculative. Several
ar known to sympathise with the In
surgents, wille many unquestionably would
vote to sustain party regularity. At to
day meeting, a resolution adopted yester
day, which provided for the organisation
of th committee In alphabetical order,
waa reconsidered, and Senator Galltnger, as
chairman of th committee, was Instructed
to bring In a tentative list of assignments.
But this action waa not taken without op
position from th progressives, who In
slsted upon their right to designate their
representatives on committee.
When they were voted down the prog
ressives retired from th committee room.
They do not relish the prospect of having
Mr. Gallinger name the progressiva mem
ber of the committee and while they
make no declaration to this effect, It Is
plainly th purpose to oppoa th chair
man's action whenever It fail to meet
their requirements of one-fourth of the
republican committee assignments.
In uch a conflict a then would ensue
It is expected the. seven regular members
would stand together In supporting the
"i.auinger aelectlon." The defeat
amenament offered by the proireeslve
would follow and In tha.t event It Is ex
pected tho progressives, refusing to accept
the situation, would take the case to th
senate. An Intermediate step would be
consideration of the question by the re
publican caucus, but as the regulars out
number th progressives, three to one,
the committee regulars would b sustained.
i Th progressive contend that If th
democrats ar Inclined toward reform, they
would be compelled to support their slate,
but the regular republicans believe the
conservative democrats would stand with
them.
Waat Two Mraaber Flaaac.
Th principal contention In th commu
te on committees la over th assignment
to th committee on. appropriations,
finance, postofflce and poatroad. judiciary
and foreign relation. Th progressives
contend they war promised two members
of th efinanc committee in advance of
the organisation of th Gallinger commu
te and they ar eapeclally anxious to have
this pledge carried out.
On the other hand, th regulars say to
concede thla request would be to give the
progressives and th edemoorata control of
this Important committee and this they
do want to do on the eve of tariff revision.
The progressives ar anxious to Influence
the committee on appropriations as a
means to controlling the committee on ex
penditure. They want larger representa
tion on the postofflce committee as a
check on executive appointmenta and they
desire to aid in shaping the settlement of
the Mexican embrogllo through the com
mittee on foreign relations.
They also hope to insure another favor
able report from the committee on the Ju
diciary on the resolution providing for the
election of senator by direct rot and
ar desirous of Influential representation on
that committee.

Determined measures were adopted in the

BEAUTY OF NAPLES ON THE STAND

I.ovrs,
VITERBO. Italy, April 22.-There is not
a dull moment In ths trial of the Camor
rlsts. The auditors never know what to
expect, but they crowd every available
place Ig the court of th assizes dally, fully
assured of some sort of entertainment.
Today Vlncenzo Avollo. the butcher, who
disputed the law with the Judge; Antonio
Percuoco. the seller of tortoise shells,
frankly expressing he hope that he would
get some free advertising out of his mis
fortunes, and Maria Stendardo, "the beauty
of Naples," who chose Imprisonment rather
than betray th man she loved, were the
principal actors In this strange mixture of
comedy and pathos.
The two men are charged with being
present at the meeting of Camorrist leaders
at th Alda tavern In Bugnoll on May 24,
1908, when Gennaro Cuoc.colo was con
demned to death. When Avollo doffed the
apron of his meat shop for other attire he
chose the best In texture and cut and when
oalled for Interrogation this morning he
fairly dazzled the spectators with his fash
ionable array. He Is a handsome man, but
none was prepared for the oratorical ex
hibition which he made. ' He spoke Ilk a
scholar.
Avollo made the usual unqualified denial
of guilt, but went further and at the
proper moment drew from his pocket a
small copy of the Italian criminal code and
from Jt read passage after passage In sup
port of his claim that there waa no excuse
In law for his detention as a suspect in th
Cuoccolo case.
. President Btanachi listened attentively
for soma time, appearing much lntereated
and not a little amused and when he
thought th court and Jury had been suf
ficiently Instructed in th . law he Inter
rupted: "But Avollo. you usurp my profession." .
Unabashed th prisoner responded:
"I might say much mora, but I do not
wish to steal to thunder of my lawyer."
Hope for Advertising.
Antonio Percuoco. smiling graciously,
was next called for examination. He as
sured th court and Jury that he wa as
Innocent as a babe. He had not been at
Bagnolt at the tlm th sentence of death
was passed upon th Cuoeooloa. Then, In a
whimsical vein, he concluded.
"I am not a murderer or the companion
of assassins. I sm a business man and
trade in tortoise shells. I send my goods
to th United States, particularly Chicago,
and I do hope In th midst of my misfor
tune that this trial will be a good adver
tisement for my wares."
Woman Denies Gallt.
Ther waa special .nUrest In the examin
ation which followed of Maria Stendardo,
who Is th only woman among the priso
ners. She Is the common law wife of
Nicola Morra, otherwise known as "Red
Sandy," and one of th alleged principals
In the murder. Her career has been a
romantlo one.
Now N years old. she retains much of the
beauty that attracted numberless suitors
In her youth. Of humble birth, she was
given In marriage at an early age to
dock laborer and with him set up a lorVln
house which attracted the attention of ti
police. Maria visited th. local deleira,
and thereafter th palaixo amendola we
not disturbed. Soon afterward Maria mr
Nicola Morra and. th stavta alleges, be
came a power in the Camerra.
All these allegations she. denied today,
saying.
"I waa arrested only because I was th'
friend and companion of Morra and refused
to comply wtth tb wishes of th Carabin
eers that I denounc th man that I love
and whom I know to be Innocent,"

Former Ambassador to Mexico Among;
Americans In Sraonlcn Who Pre
sent Prtltton tn Wnsti I nat
ion for Aid.
WASHINGTON. April JI.-A long step
townrd restoring tranquility In Mexico was
taken today. After a series of unofficial
conferences, Including the overtures of
many go-betweens, General Francisco I.
Madero, jr.. acknowledged leader of the
Insnrrectos, todiiy formally authorised Dr.
Vbsiiiicz Oomez. his diplomatic representa
tive In the United Btstes. to consummate
the armistice with the federal government,
which In the lust few days has been urged
by mutual friends.
The armistice Idea has met with the ap
proval of the main government and Is a
preliminary step tn peace negotiations de
signed to adjust various differences out of
which the revolution grew.
Tonight the econdltlons of th armistice
are speeding back and forth over th wires
for the approval of both sides In the revolu
tion. They Include chiefly the Immediate
suspension of hosttlltlese aa well as the
diucontlnuance of troop movements, th
establishment of a defelnlte pereloed in
which the truce Is to be effective, the son
to be comprehended by It and ' the per
mission for both sides to secure food sup
plies and free telegraphic communication.
While the policy of the United Statea
toward events on the border has not aa
yet been clearly defined, the general opin
ion In official circles was that the amicable
settlement of the Mexican revolution
would. In a , great measure, relieve the
United States of the necessity of making
any move In response to protests of Amer
ican citizens aa to the danger of border
warfare. President Taft and hla oablnet
were pleased to learn that peace In Mexico
was In prospect.
An evidence of the desire for peace was
