cisco I. Madoro. The nature of the
communications was not divulged but
it was given out they concerned Ma-
doro's attitude toward peace In the
light of President Diaz's recent message
sago to congress. Efforts were made ,
.it is said , to ascertain without the help

and bring about tranquilitles. Conces
sions of even greater Importance than
offered in the Diaz message were sug
gested , it is said , but without avail
The communications stopped sudden
iy and with apparent determination
that they would not be resumed. Im
mediately the work of building do

THE PRIEST
TAKES STAND
IS QUESTIONED CONCERNING
KNOWLEDGE OF MURDER.
DOES NOT CONTROL EMOTIONS
It Was the Priest Who , Declaring He
Had Secured Testimony In the Con
fessional , Secured the Release of
Some Accused Men in Italy.
Vlterbo , Italy , April 6. Clro Vitozzl.
the priest , was called in the court of
assizes today to explain his alleged
connection with the Neapolitan Ca-
morra.
It was Vitozzl who secured the re
lease of Enrico Alfano , Ciro Alfano
Ibelli and Uapl when they were first
arrested charged with complicity in
the murder of Gcnnaro Cuoccolo and
his wife. The priest went to the au
thorities and said that ho had learned
In the confessional the Identity of the
assassins and that the men under ar
rest wore innocent. He was believed ,
and not only secured the freedom of
his friends , but subsequently donounc-
d De Angelis and Amadco as the nuir-
erers. These men had some difilcul-
y in discrediting the priest.
As ho testified today Vitozzl could
lot or would not control his emotions
, nd , aided by his attorney who inter-
upted with counter charges against
lie carabineers , caused such an up-
oar in the court the president was
orccd to suspend the meeting ,
orced to suspend the sitting.
Suffering Physically.
The priest had suffered physically
rom his long confinement in prison
ind when he was summoned to the
jar he advanced slowly , leaning on his
cane. At his elbow was his physician ,
who explained to the court that he
would have to give his patient stimu-
ants to save him from fainting. Nev
ertheless the prisoner spoke In a
strong voice. He proclaimed himself
nnocont , and expressed surprise that
: he fact that he was the godfather of
Erricone should have been used
against him. He had never done
wrong and knew evil only as a servant
of the church must know it In order
: o fight It successfully.
"When I was arrested , " he contin-
icd , "I petitioned the queen mother ,
recalling to her mind that at the time
of King Humbert's assassination I eel-
brated masses for the repose of his
soul for eight days. 1 also asked
3ueen Helena for my release because
I was ill. Instead of attracting com
passion , I was sent to the prison bos-
Here a Dramatic Scene.
When the priest referred to the
woman companion of Errlcone's
brother Ciro who died in jail , Erricone
rose-and in a loud voice , charged with
emotion , asked permission of the
court to leave the room. The presi
dent ruled :
"Erricone is a man and must show
his strength. It is impossible to allow
him to leave the court every time the
name of his dead brother is men
tioned. "
Erricone , however , explained that It
was not the hearing of his brother's
name that got on his nerves , but that
he did not wish to bo present when
reference was made to the woman
whose name had been linked with that
of "poor innocent Ciro. " The presi
dent permitted him to withdraw in the
custody of carabineers.
At this point Signer Pletolesl , attor
ney for Vitozzi , broke in with the as
sertion that the witness against his
client had been bought and that he
could prove it. This brought forth
denials from the prosecution and in
the hubbub that followed the session
was adjourned.
Start 170 New Towns.
Winnipeg , April 6. One hundred
and seventy towns will be started in
western Canada this year , an average
of one for nearly every two days. The
Canadian Pacific will start fifty now
communities , the Grand Trunk Pacific

ern twenty-six. Surveys have been
made for most of the new towns am
many of them already have been
named.
Masked Man Robs Passengers.
Muncie , Ind. , April 6. A masked
man , armed with a revolver , held up
the passengers in one coach of a west
bound train on the Big Four railroad
as it was pulling into this city , nm
robbed them of about $300. Ho then
jumped from the rear platform of the
coach , and though several shots wore
fired at him , he escaped.
NEW YORK THE WORST ONE YE7
Only One Other Seaport In the World
as Tough as American City.
Now York , April C. Joseph Corri
gan , the city magistrate who begar
the present "crime wave" agitation bj
accusing Mayor Gaynor of demoralizing
ing the police force , testified for ar
hour and a half before the grand jurj
which is trying to determine whotho
the city is overrun with crooks , and 1

BRYAN TRYING TO
DICTATE TO SENATE
Washington , April 6. Whether for
ty-one senators constituting the demo
cratic party in the senate shall sup
port a conservative or a progress pol
icy during the present session of con
gress , formed the subject of an ear
nest and animated conference partici
pated in by about fifteen democratic
senators. The meeting was hold in
the committee rooms of Senator Stone
of Missouri.
The gathering grew out of the visit
of William J. Bryan and was duo to
the prospect that Senator Martin of
Virginia would be elected chairman of
the democratic senatorial caucus. The
Nebraska leader is understood to have
counselled his intimate senatorial
friends to select some other senator
more inclined toward the Bryan poli
cies.
cies.Mr.
Mr. Bryan offered no personal op
position to Mr. Martin , but pleaded
that the party should take advantage
of Its present great opportunity. He
thought this could bo done only
through an aggressive policy to which ,
in Mr. Bryan's opinion , Mr. Martin's
membership would not be conducive.
As many of the democratic senators
had pledged their votes to their Vir
ginian colleague , the situation was em
barrassing.
Kill Prohibition in Alabama.
Montgomery , Ala. , April 6. State
wide prohibition in Alabama was giv
en its knockout blow yesterday when
both branches of the legislature adopt
ed the Smith liquor regulation bill.
This provides that 45 percent of the
voters of a county may petition for an

SEE NEW ERA
IN THE HOUSE
THAT BODY WILL SELECT ITS
OWN COMMITTEES.
CONGRESS STILL ORGANIZING
The Question as to Just What Status
Will be Given the Insurgents , is
Concerning Congress Report Mann
Will Prove Liberal.
Washington , April 6. The third day
of the extra session of the Sixty-sec
end congress found the democratic
members of the house still confronted
by several problems of organization
and the legislative program not yet
finally decided on.
It was the hope of the leaders that
a number of new committees cou.d be
organized today. Representative
Mann , the minority leader , entrusted
with the duty of selecting the minority
membership , expected to bo ready
with nominations for several of the
more important committees soon after
the house should meet today. The
house will witness the inauguration
of a new era in national executive af
fairs. The new committees are to be
elected by the house itself. The
democratic nominations have all been
prepared by the ways and means com
mittee acting as a committee on com
mittees and the slate thus made up
will go through without a change. The
committees are also expected to vote
for the minority selections.
Considerable interest centers In the
assignments that are to be given to
the republican insurgents In the
house. It has been reported that
Leader Mann would provo liberal.
The senate committee on commit
tees may bo engaged today in com
mittee selections but the session of
the senate itself probably will con
tinue only a few minutes and will be
adjourned to meet again on Monday.
The house may adjourn over until
Monday if the committee election pro
gresses favorably.
The Day's Routine.
Both houses of congress listened
yesterday to President Taft's brief
message urging the adoption of the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
Then , with the senate adjourned ,
the democratic house proceeded fur
ther with its organisation by adopting
now rules.
These are largely a repetition of
those that have boon handed down by
many congresses. The democrats
claim Uioir greatest reform is taking
from the speaker his power to appoint
committees and to designate the chair
man of each committee.
The now rules provide for the elec
tion of committees and their chair
men.
men.Tho
The rules continue "calendar
Wednesday" and unanimously consent
calendar and seek to perfect the rule
for the discharge of committees. This
latter , the democrats say , effectively
does away with the former practice of
stifling legislation in committees.
He Won't Discriminate.
Republican Leader Mann of the
house made it clear that insurgent re
publicans who did not cast their votes
for him In the election of a speaker
will bo in no way discriminated
against in filling the republican places
on the standing committees of the
house. Mr. Mann said lie had told
several insurgents it would make no
difference how they voted as to their
treatment In the committee assign
ments.
Mr. Mann will have ready for sub'
mission to the democratic leaders to <
day , the republican personnel of the
ways and means , mileage accounts and
one or two other committees. The
other committees will not be deter
mined on for some time.
