GOVERNMENT GIVEN POWERS BY KING OF [TALY DURING WAR ¥ (Continu\ed from First Page.) of in the street. It was learned later, however, that the incident was not so serious as at first reported and thet the police had begun a rigid investi- gation. Letters of regret were sent to Signor Billati by Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg and Foreign Min- ister Von Jagow. Officials of the socialist party met today in thé deputies’ chamber and resolved 19 rajly to the support of the government.. A manifesto will be is- sued urging all adherents of the party o work for the national cause. . Counts Upon Rumania. Admiral Bettelo, president of the Ttalo-Rumanian league, telegraphed to M. Filipesca, president of the Ru- mano- Ttalian league at Bucharest, saying that on the day Italy declared war on Austria her thoughts would turn te Rumania, counting upon her assistance at a supreme crisis. In spite of disavowals by high Ger- man officials of the attack upon the Italian ambassador at Berlin, Rome newspapers consider the incident i grave reflectiin upon Italian dignity. The Idea Nazionale declares that the excuses of the German chancellor and foreign minister are insufficient and that the insult must be revenged. Fitting Reply to Germans. The Tribuna believes a fitting re- { ply would be for the people of Rome to accompany the German ambassa- dor to the station the day he leaves the capital and “return latin civility for an act of German barbarism.” The Osservatore Romano, the Vat- ican ergan, in editorial articles urges a complete union of all Italians and a truce to political passions. It ex- presses the hope that Italy may be spared the horrors of a long war and that peace soon will be ‘established. NO FUND FOR JUDGMENT. New York, May 22.—The United Hatters of North America, in conven- tion here, voted today not to raise a funa to satisfy the $285,000 judgment affirmed by the United States supreme court to Loewe & company, hat manu- facturers of Danbury, Conn., against members of the Hatters' union. The hatters did vote, however, to raise a fund for the relief of the individuals whose homes and bank accounts havs been attached to satisfy the judgment. TELLS WHY JAPAN KEPT FIFTH GROUP SECRET Did Mot Represeat Demands but Rather HGWS, Says Baron Kato. Tokio, May 22.—Why Japan en- deavored to keep secret the fifth group { ¢f the demands she presented to China last January, shortty after the occupation of the German position of Kiao-Chow by the Japanese, was ex- plained in the Diet today by Baron Kato, minister of foreign affairs. Questions as to why this fifth group of demands was not made‘public were zsked of the ministers, Group Represented Hopes. Baron Kato called attention to the fact that Japan was not in duty bound to communicate these demands to the powers. Japan believed she was jus- tified, he declared, in demanding the concessions contained in the first four groups. The fifth group did not rep- 1esent demands, but rather hopes. “We had t6 see what China would say about this Aifth group,” the foreign minister explained, “and there was therefdre no necessity of communi- cating it. Lateér, because of the ap- pearance of erroneous occounts of this group, Japan decided to make the ! matter. publie, To an intgfpellation. as to why| Japan was toring Kiao-Chow to| China, the aign minister explained | e was gladiof the ppportunity to set | forth the position of the government, which was based entirely on the de- struction of German influence in the far east and the maintenance of the integrity of China. The restoration | ot Kiao-Chow was not an incident of the negotiations but had been decided upon- long before these were under- taken. So long as no other count held Kiao-Chow, Japan was gatisfied. The government, the foreig: inister declared, hoped the question of the fifth group of demands Would be settled later. In the meantime, Baron Kato said he and the other ministers responsible for the outcome of the negotiations, did not like the insinua- tions that they were trying to evade responsibility. Did not Menace China. . Replying to another query, Lieuten- ant General Oka, minister of war, de- nied that Japan had menaced China. He explained that the date of the changing of the garrisons in Man- churia had merely been advanced. ‘The discussion in the house of peers Wwas practically a duplication of that made concessions for the friendship of China in the interest of the friend- ship of the powers, including Great Britain and the United States. Present Budget Is Sufficient. Discussing the government’s needs for supplemental credits, Count Okuma, the premier, said the failure of the Diet which was dis- eolved to adopt the budger of 1915-16, kad compelied the government to fol- lew the budget of the previous year, which was insufficient for the needs today. Foreign Minister Kato, who fol- lcwed the Drimi!r, sketched at length the negotiations with China, and said treaties and notes with that nation soon would be signed and presented to the emperor for ratification. All these documents later will be sub- mitted to the Diet. BARNES COMMENTS ON JURY’S VERDICT Says Il,e Knew When He Brought Ac- tion For Libel Roosevclt’s State- @ ments Were At_;solutely False. New York, May 22.—A statement issued by Mr. Barnes on the verdict for Col. Roosevelt follows: ‘““There is nothing that I can say regarding the verdict of the jury in this mat- ter, except that when I brought the action I knew that the accusation made by Mr. Roose\‘;ll, of collusion, combination, or evendicker, between me and Tammany Hall, or Mr. Mur- phy, or any other democratic agency, not only fOr any cdrrupt purpose, but for any purpose, was absolutely” false. “When I accepted the chairman- ship of the state ¢ommittee, in Jan- vary, 1911, it was at the request of th¢ membership of the committee, at a’time when I had retired from po- litical life and when the republican party was out of power in the state. As chairman’ of that committee, I never attempted to build up any ‘ma chine,’ nor to dictate nominations, nor to act in accordance with theiidegs which formerly had nrevailed - with regard to the functions of this' of- fice. “The jury declared fthat 1 had no cduse of action against Mr. Roosevelt, who charged me with acts which I did not cemmit, and, therefore. fem- porarily, the public may believe that I was guilty of what- did not do. complete rectitude of my conduct must content me—which, after all, is the only important thing in life.” Mr. Ivins' statement.dealt with the purely legal aspects of the case.
