Republican Leaders in This County Must Make a Show Down, County Chairman Robbins Says.

IjVlUST REMAIN WITH OR DESERT G. O. P. 'Central Committee Will Meet - Saturday, Executive Committee Tonight Resignations Expected. , A political crisis has been reached )hy the Wayne County Republican party. By the end of the week there will be a parting of ways. The party leaders will be called upon for a show down. Those who intend to remain loyal to the Republican party and those who intend to enlist under the banner of the Progressive party must deHnltely and Batisfactorialy place themselves on record. No straddling the fence will be permitted. Members of the Old Guard will Issue the edict, veither announce- your allegiance to the old party or move on, and don't waste time making your choice." In-i dlcations today point to the fact that there will be quite a number of men, actively identified with the Republican party In the county, who will "move on." In fact a number have already "moved" and have only been waiting the proper time and place to decluare themselves, it can be reliably stated that some of the resignations from the Wayne County Republican Central committee will occasion big surprise. This evening there will be a meeting of the executive committee of the Republican county central committee and at this meeting the time for calllng a meeting of the entire central committee will be Identified, It is quite probable that this general committee meeting will be held at the court house, either Saturday morning or afternoon. Resignations Expected. "The meeting of the county central committee has been made necessary by the state chairman's call for the .holding of ward and township meetings to name delegates for the state convention, which will be held AuI gust 6," stated county chairman Will I Robbins this morning. "Before the members of the county central comjmittee can take any action in calling i ward and township meetings and take other part In party affairs It is essen tial that they shall declare whether they are still members of the Republican party." , ,' : "I understand," Mr. Robbins also (Stated, "that there will be several (members of the committee1 who will jturn In their resignations, having decided to unite with the Progressive party." 4 . , District Chairman Linus P. Mere dith has not yet issued his call for ward and township meetings for the Election of delegates to' the district congressional convention. It is probtable delegates to this convention will "be named at the same time delegates 'to the state convention are chosen. Richmond had . been the tentative .choice as the place for holding the 'Republican district convention, but it would not be surprising if the contention was held in some city in the district more loyal to the Republican cause. Meredith is expected to fracture his silence, as to the time of iholdlng ward and township meetings land the place where the district contention will be held, some time this (week. There promises to be lively doings at the meeting of the executive branch of the Republican county central comimitteee tonight. Deciding the date for a general meeting will be a side Issue. The question which will receive most consideration from the executive members will be a resolution which, in bald terms, repudiates the Chicago convention and its presidential nominee. Progressive members of the executive committee believe they have a majority to pass the resolution. SECURE ORCHESTRA 1 Runge's orchestra has been engaged fby the Richmond Chautauqua program committee to furnish music at the Chautauqua this fall. They will com mence Immediately In preparing a pro gram of music that will be a real treat to the Chautauqua goers.

THREE MURDERERS ARE ELECTROCUTED Two Italians and Negro Were Rapidly Put to Death at Sing Sing Today. (National News Association) OSSINNINO, N. Y., July 8.Three murderers were electrocuted in rapid succession at Sing Sing prison early i today. The three men were the most j hysterical ever executed here and eacn went moaning and praying to his death. The men electrocuted were Sante Zanzara, Italian, implicated in the murder of Mrs. Mary Hall at Groton Lake. Nov. 9, 1911. Guiseppa Corelli, Italian who killed a fellow workman at the Millville res ervoir in Yonkers. George Williams, negro, who killed Charles Conklin, station agent at Groton Lake in April, 1911. The same voltage was used for each but three contacts were required to kill Zanzara and Williams. Only two were necessary for Corelln Completely Broke Down. Zanzara showed greater terror of the electric chair than any man previously executed at Sing Sing. He moaned and sobbed in hysteria, but before he was strapped into the chair he knelt In prayer. Before his execution Zanzara wrote a statement to Warden Kennedy in which he declared that he alone was guilty of the murder of Mrs. Hall. There are five other men awaiting execution for this crime. Vincenzo Zena, Angelo Guisti. Filcho de Marco, Lorenzo Cali and Salvator do Marco. The statement made by Zanzara that all the others were innocent was the fth that he had made. No two were alike and the other Italians probably will be unable to obtain a new trial. Zanzara was in the electric chair nine minutes and 14 seconds before the 1900 volts killed him. Corelli prayed in a loud voice before he wag trapped in. He was in the j chalr for flve mlnutes.

MAYOR'S CABINET HOLDHMEETING But Most of the Official Fam ily Failed to Attend Reports Submitted. As usual the regular monthly meeti Ing of the mayor's cabinet was attended by only a few of the city officers tnis mornjng. Ten of tne neads of . . . 4 . . , the cabinet meeting was called. At the meeting Mayor Zimmerman stated that within a short time the city will secure a" number of standard weights and measures for the weights and measures department. He said that these measures would be used by the inspector for the purpose of measuring milk sold by dairymen, oil by oil men, etc. "However, I have a different opinion of business men and dairymen than most people," the mayor continued, speaking of the weights and measures department. "Most people believe that every man is dishonest and that he is trying to cheat you. I don't hold that opinion. I believe every man is honest until he is proved otherwise. We must, though, have everything weighed and measured in order to comply with the law." Edward Hollarn, park superintendent, reported that all of the parkl were inspected July 1 and were found to be in good condition. He submitted his report on expenditures during the past month, showing that $602.40 was spent for labor in the parks and $73.56 expended for miscellaneous items.

After a Trial Lasting a Year

and a Half One of Most Famous Criminal Cases Is Nearing an End. COURT EXHAUSTED INSTRUCTING JURY Prisoners, Wan and Tired, but Still Glower Fiercely From Iron Cages. Soldiers Are on Guard. (National News Association) VITERBO. Italy. July 8. After a long drawn out procedure of a year and a half the famous Camorrist trial drew into its final stage today. On the verge of collapse from his seemingly endless task, Presiding Judge Bianchi of the assize court finished his instructions to the jury and the jury retired at 10 o'clock. The presiding judge, as well as the others figuring in the great trial, have been worn out alike by the fatigue attending the case as well as the intense heat which has been prevailing here for several weeks. Signor Bianchi said he had not been able to obtain any rest for three nights because of his mental activitiy and the necessary concentration of mind in his summing up. The judge has had to review mil lions of words of evidence and speeches. It was not considered likely that the jury would report before night and perhays later although this was problematic. The jurors were instructed to make 114 separate findings, based upon the multitude of counts in the indictments against the prisoners. Scene a Dramatic One. It was regarded as possible that the notorious syndicate of crime in Naples known as the Camorra might be wiped out because Enrico Alfano alias "Erricone," the acknowledged head of the band, was one of the prisoners be-; fore the bar. Another was Giovanni Rapi, alias Prof. Rapt, treasurer of the band. But the chief figure of the en tire case was Gennaro Abatemaggio, the betrayer. The scene in the court here today as the curtain began to descond, was a dramatic one. The prisoners sat in their iron cages wan from long confinement but with unabating hostility against their prosecutors. Alfano had promised the judge that he would not interrupt the proceedings but he had to bite his lips until they bled before he could control his impulse to speak. Carbineers and detectives were arranged about the walls, guarding every entrance and exit against sudden attack. There were few spectators. A detachment of troops was held under arms in the barracks for any emergency. There was a flurry of excitement as the jury was filing into its chamber when a woman spectator a wife of one of the prisoners began to 6cream and suddenly toppled over in a faint. The specific crime charged against the prisoners was the murder of Sig nor Gennaro Cuccola and his wife In Naples in 1906. They were believed to have betrayed some of the secrets. Six prisoners were charged with actual participation before or after the fact. Originally there were 41 prisoners but since the trial began some have been liberated and others died in prison. Among the prisoners is a priest. Father Vittozzi, who was accused of using his offices to help the band. TEACHERS CHOSEN FOR NEXT SEASON Charles O.

House Judiciary Committee Makes Its Report and Commerce Court Jurist May Face Trial.

JUDGE ARRAIGNED IN BITTER STYLE He Is Called "One Who Has Prostituted His High Office for Personal Profit" in the Report. (National News Association) WASHINGTON. July S. The judiciary committee of the house sent to that body today articles of impeachment against Judge Robert W. Archbald of the Commerce court, who is characterized as "one whose sense of moral responsibility has become deadened." The presentation of the the charges, consisting of thirteen articles of Impeachment, was one of the most solemn proceedings witnessed in the house in years. Chairman Clayton of the judiciary committee made the report, adoption of which will mean the trial before the senate of Judge Archbald. In the indictments Judge Archbald is termed by the judiciary committee as "one who has prostituted his high office for personal profit." The resolution charges in the customary form that Judge Archbald has been guilty of "misbehavior and high crimes and misdemeanors." The impeachment proceedings grew out of the now famous culm bank deal, in which the judge is attributed to have been interested in in Pennsylvania and the papers of impeachment contain a lengthy review of the recent hearings before the house judiciary committee. The report of the commit tee is unanimous. Evidence Is Cited. The report charges that the testlmony shows at different times while Judge Archbald was judge of a United States district court he sought and ob tained credit and in other instances sought to obtain credit from persons who had litigation pending before bis court. The testimony shows that after Judge Archbald had been promoted to the position of United States circuit judge and had been designated as one of the judges of the United States commerce court, he, in connection with different persons, sought to obtain options on culm banks and other property from agents and owners of property owned and controlled by railroad companies. The judiciary committee charges that in effort to influence coal companies which were subsidary and owned by the railroad companies Judge Archbald repeatedly sought to Influence the officials to enter into contracts with his associates for the final benefit of himself and hia associates. In presenting the Archbald report to the house today. Chairman Clayton asked that the report might be printed in the Record and gave notice that he will ask for action upon it tomorrow. The report is expected to come to a vote at tomorrow's session. THREAT fORPRIESTLY Must Forsake T. R. or Lose Place on U. S. Bench (National News Association) WASHINGTON. July 8.

Three Ministers Bearing the

Board's Permit to Preach Interrupted Rag and Classic Concert. CROWD FADED AWAY AS SERMONS START Board of Works Rules Today That Band Has Right of Way Over Ministers from 3 to 5 P. M. Some time ago the board of public works appropriated a certain amount of money which, with sums contributed by the street car company and the lessee of privileges at Glen Miller park was to pay for band concerts at the park on Sunday afternoons. A litUe later the board granted permission to the Ministerial association for its members to deliver sermons at the park on Sunday afternoons. A playlet, which could be properly called a "Comedy of Errors," was en acted yesterday afternoon: Time 3:15, place Glen Park. Stage band stand in rear of pavilion. The stage is set. On with the play.. Members of the Richmond City band had just concluded the first part of their regular program. The director, with baton in hand, arose, brushed a, thread from his coat sleeve and rapped for quiet. Hollarn the Referee. At this opportune or inopportune moment, as it may be considered, three wearers of the broadcloth appeared upon the scene. They squirmed their way through the large audience, to the band stand. "This is where we begin. I believe," one of the ministers suggested. "Begin what," courteously asked the band leader. - "Why our regular sermon." was the answer. The superintendent of the park was called to the stand and a long conversation was held between the ministers. band men and park superintendent. Meanwhile the audience grew restless. "Are we going to have a sermon or band music," was the paramount question heard on all sides. One half of the 400 auditors left that part' of the park during the discussion. The park superintendent finally setUed the argument by telling the ministers to go on with the sermon while the band waited. One minister climbed to the plat form, opened the Bible and read his text. He had preached but a short time when another large number of his auditors grew restless and decided to "move." After the minister had preached but a short time, the sky darkened and rain fell in torrents. The meager crowd, ministers and bandmen. sought shelter at the pavilion. When the rain ceased the band again started on the last half of its urogram and concluded it, playing to about fifty or one hun dred persons. Complaints Entered. The telephone bell at the park superintendent's home rang constanUy after supper. The trend of the complaints was as follows: "Now. don't misunderstand me. I like to go to church and hear sermons, but I don't like to fight over holding a bench or chair near the band 'stand for two hours and then hear one or two pieces and be obliged to sit and hear a sermon. The ministers ought to hold their services In the , front part of the Glen or In the rear part or some place away from the band." This morning SupC Hollarn appeared before the board of works. He stated the facts of the case and the board issued an order to the effect that the band had the "right-of-way" on the stand until it had concluded its program. The mayor stated that the sermons must be preached ln some other part of the park or that the ministers must wait unUl the program is concluded. The concerts are supposed to be started at 3 o'clock and to be concluded at S o'clock. LUMBER MEI1 BATTLE Six Killed and 20 Wounded in a Labor War. (National News Association) ST. CHARLES.
