department at Washington, a protest
from the Italian embassy regarding an
advertisement announcing a sale of build

among Italians and is apprehensive lest
a feeling of resentment may cause public
gatherings and lead to disorder.
The mayor of Newark Informed the
governor that his information was that

Corn weather has swooped down upon

At Sixteenth and Farnam streets a

to the lower elevation and the fleeting

The farmers in the corn belt are said
