o ferret out and bring to Justice those an

Tho present feeling of Italian leaders Is
best expressed by a statement mnde by F.
Cambria, president of tho United Italian

Slgnor Cambria said: "There la no doubt
n my mind that the assassination of King
Humbert wns plotted here. Ry that I not
only mean In the Italian colony In this city,
but In the great settlement of our peap!:
around New York harbor. What makes mo
think more than anything elso that the an
archists among us aro organized and have
chosen men from among themselves, to put
murdcrouj plans Into execution was an an
archlstlc Innuendo which I discovered to
day. It was only one of thousands of such
circulars which aro being thrown out among
our people. It was printed on tho press of
an Incendiary organ of the anarchists In
Hobokcn, tne editor of which Is said to
have been nn Intlmato friend of Preset
Tho circular llrst assailed tho Italian nows
papers which have mourned the death of
tho king. It railed ugnlnst any sentiment
of sorrow and ridiculed"1 nil show of sym
pathy. -Lastly. It openly denounced tho
dead king, rejoiced jln his taking' -off and
named his atisassln a hero. .
"It will, accordingly, bo our purpose to
purge our .settlement of such an clement ao
le represented by this circular. It will bo
our first stop to appeal to the police for
their help and, falling In getting it, wo will
tako the matter Into our own hands."

men to thank them. A moment later the
spectators gave vent to their feelings In
a shout that made tho court room ring. Then
with common Inipuls; n rush was made for
tho man who had made so bravo n fight for
his life In his declining yearn nnd almost
smothered him with congratulations.
"After four tedious weeks tho great trial
of Alexander Jester had passed Into history
with the Buffalo calf and Hulcn lane and
the old man, after a second attempt to send
him. to tho gallows, had been set free. It
had been a trial filled with pathos, present
ing ns It did tho spectacle of n woman testi
fying njnlnst her brother In nn attempt to
fasten a murder committed nearly thirty
years ago upon his head.
There wero three ballots taken In tho
ury room. The first stood nine for nc-
qulttal and three fur murder In the first
degree. Tho next stood ten for acquittal
and two for conviction. Tho third and last
was unanimous for ucqutttal and wuh given
with a shout by tho tired Jurymen.
"As soon ns Jester could tear himself
away from those who crowded about to con
gratulate him, he hurried to his hotel nnd
was soon the center of n happy group made
up of his children, Harvey Jester, Will nnd
Allco Hill, who quietly rejoiced. Jester
will leave at once for Oklahoma, whero he
was arrested two years ago.
"Tonight when tho verdict wns mado It
caused general rejoicing throughout the
town."

In order to expedite tho transaction of
business nnd to add a little moro dignity
to the sessions of th'o municipal fathers,
Mayor Kelly proposes to suggest a num
ber of changes in tho rules governing that
body. The rules now In force wero adopted
b, number of yonrs ngo, nnd it Ib asserted
that changed conditions demand n revision
of tho entire ict.
One of the suggestions of the mayor Is
that all matters of expense be referred to
tho proper committees to Invcstlgato and
report nt the next meeting. As It Is now
councilman offer motions nnd resolutions
calling for tho expenditure of various sums
of money on sidewalks, crosswalks, street
repairs, etc.", and these are generally passed
without any Investigation whatever. In
cases of emergency, like the repairing of
dangerous holes In roadways or fixing bad
places In sidewalks, the rules could be sus
pended and lmmcdlnto action taken.
Tho mayor thinks that by adhering to a
rule of this kind quite u sum of money can'
be saved and at the same time give every
memberof tho council nn opportunity of
Investigating any Item of expeuso In order
that ho may voto Intelligently. It very
often occurs that persons solicit councl)men
to ask for crosswalks and other expendi
tures, frequently coloring their statements
ns to tho necessity for such work. Owing
to the lack of tlmo such matters aro brought
beforo the council without giving any of
tho members an opportunity to make any
sort of an investigation. Several of the
councilmen havo announced themselves In
favor of this proposod change and It will
most likely be made.
In tho matter of expediting business the
mayor will suggest that all resolutions and
motions be prepared before tho meetings
aro-called to order and bunded to the clork
to be read Instead of each member reading
his own motion .on resolution. Sucn a plan
ns this, It Is asserted, will save confusion
nnd greatly expedite business.
Another Idea Is to excuso tho city attorney
from attending sessions, as attorneys do
not llko to glvo off-haud opinions. If this
Is dons nil requests for Information from
the attorney will bo mado by motion und
opinions will bo given In writing, so that a
record may bo kept. These are tho most
Important changes suggested, but It Is prob
able that when the special commlttco gets
to work on tho rules a thorough revision
will bo made.

that nothing will bo dono for some time.
