No Special Effort to Get Progressives. In ‘the circulation of the anti-Taft petitions an effort will be made to get them signed by organization re- publicans and others who have stood With the president as well as by cit- izens who have occupied mneutral ground. No special effort will be made 1o get progressive republican signa- tures as it is bellaved that to confine the petitions to that faction would en- compass the defeat of the movement, The sponsors of the plan say one of its first results would be to let Mr. Taft know if there are any considera- ble number of regular republicans who believe he should step aside in the in- terests of harmony. HILLES WON'T ACCEPT, Chairmanship of Republican National Committee Not Decided. Washington, July 8.—The selection of a chairman for the republican na- tional committee was tonight still in the air. For four hours this afternoon Presi- dent Taft, his secretary, Charles D. Hilles, and a sub-committee of the re- publican national committee diseussed the question of the chairmanship. At 5.30 o'clock tonight they adjourned until 9.30 tomorrow morning, no nearer to a cholce than they were when they met here early today for their first session. More than a dozen names were con- sidered during the long discussion heid in the White House. The conference was entirely amicable. About the only actual result of the meeting was the final elimination from consideration of the name of Mr. Hilles. He told the committeemen that under no circum- stances would he take the position, but that he would work with all his ability for the president's re-election in his present post as secretary to the presi- dent. Predictions wera frecly made to- night that the chairmanship might net be settled for several days. All the members of the sub-committes wers of the opinion that there would b n hasty decision.

Police Arrest Man on Girl's Statement But Release Him. New York, July $—Despite the un- tiring efforts of the police and cor- oner’s office today the officials tonight seemed to be baffled in their efforts to establish the identity of the man who brutally murdered twelve year old Julia Connors in a vacant apartment near her home in the Bronx Sunday. Three men were taken into custody during the day and after a severe ex- amination by the coroner all were al- lowed to go tonight, with nothing to show their connection with the crime. Giovanni Grecio, who was arrested early today after Florence Molas, a young playmate of Julia Connors, had identified him as one of three men who she said had lured her and Julia into a cellar, was discharged tonight as were two other men whom the Molse girl had implicated. When con- fronted a second time by the men, Florence told conflicting stories, She was detained by the children's so- clety tonight by order of the coromer who still hopes to get information of value fro mher. A wooden handled knife with five inch blade, discovered in a pile of dirt in front of the house where Julia Connors was attacked, supplied the police with their first clue of im- portance today. If!the weapon was not “planted” there It may fasten the crime on some one shortly.

Viterbo, July §.—The Camorrists who have been on trial for nearly two vears on the charge of having murdered Gen- Dero Cuocolo and his wife in June, 1908, were today adjudged guilty in varylug degrees. The verdict declares Corrado Sortino guilty of both mur- ders; Nicolo Marret, Antonlo Carrata and Marlano d Gennaro guilty of the murder of Cuocolo, and Giueseppe Salvi guilty of the murder of Cuocolo’s wife. Enrico Alfano, the alleged lead- er of the Camorrists, Glovanni Rapl, Di Marinas and the others are -con- victed of being instigators of the crime and members of the criminal organiza- tlon. The president of the court sen- tenced the condemned men. Thirty Years for Principals. Sortino, Carrata, Salvi, Morra, Di Gennaro, Aifano, Rapi and Di Marinas ‘were sentenced to thirty years' impris- onment and to ten years' police sur- veillance; Di Mattio to ten years and six months' imprisonment and ten years' surveillance; Ascrittore to ten years’ imprisonment and three years' surveillance; Vitoazi, the priest, seven years' imprisonment and two vears' survelllance; the others to five years' imprisonment and three years' surveil- lance. Cut Throat With Piece of Glass. When the accused men were placed in the iron cage to hear the verdict, Di Marinas suddenly drew forth a piece of gless and cut his throat. He fell to the fioor of the cage in a pool of blood and general pandemontum broke loose. The others screamed liek wild ani- mals, shouting invectives and impre- cations. Rapl shouted: “This innocent blood is crying for revenge.” Alfano raged sround and recelled his brother's death, who, he cried, was a“victim of injustice and a man who had suffered the martyrdom of Innocence.” Vitozzi knelt, weeping and praying. All the prisoners acted like maniacs and the carbineers had difficulty in forcing their way into the cage to maintain _order and carry out the wounded Di Marinas, Shook Fists at Judge. The pronouncement of sentence was received with uproarious protests from the condemned men. One of them shouted: “We are innocent. This is legal assassinadion.” Some ef them ghook their fists at the judge and oth- ors tore at the bars of the cage. They attempted in coneert to harangue those assembled in the court. Tn addition to the police and earbineers within the building, a battalion of troops with fixed bayenets were drawn up outside. Tt was feared that some attempt might ibo made to resous the prisoners. Di Marinas in 8erious Condition, Di Marinas is in a serfous eendition. There is a gash four inches long and half an inch in his throat. The glass with which he attempied suicide gevared an artery, which was tied, but Di Marinasfi the moment he was left alone, tore off the bandages and re- epened the wound. Surgeens again dressed the injuries, but the wounded man declared he was determined to die. The verdict as a whols proved some- what of a surprise, and all are agreed that the severity of teh sentence is the last blow to the Camorra, which has | practically been annihilated since the arrest of 1ts leaders. POLITICAL FIGHT IN IMPEACHMENT CASE. Republicans Want It Deferred Demoorats Opposed. ‘Washington, July 8—A sharp differ- ence along politieal lines has develop- ed in the senate over the proposed im- peachment of Judge Robert W, Arch- bald of the commerce coyrt. ~ Many senators including influential repub- licans favor deferring the trial until after the November elections, contend- ing that ample time should be given to prepare for the hearing of the im- peachment charges and that many senators are needed at home to look after thelr political fences. Other senators, among whom _are Senators Simmons, Bailey and Reed, all democrate, urge that impeachment proceedings are of such high privilega that they should be taken up as scon as the house shall prefer the chagres, irrespective of the persomal comfort, and convenience of senators, The thirtéen articles of impeach- ment, cac han accusation, were pra- sented to the house (oday with the announcement that their consideration tomorrow would be demanded. Speak- er Clark emphasized the solemnity of the proceedings by securing the undi- vided attention of the house while the articles were being read by Represen- tative Clayton of Alibama, chairman of the judiclary comgmittee which unani- mously reported $em. Mr. Clayton dwelt on the gravity of the charges.
