After ! the passage by the senate this after noon of the rivers and harbors bill. ' carrying; a lump sum appropriation, ! it war explained western members supported the bill with the under standing that at the extra session an other bill will be brought in that will provide for urgent surveys and some additional money for worthy proj- f ects. It was said that the house never wauld have accepted a bill carrying an increased appropriation. Among the projects expected to receive ad ditional money at the extra session i' re the Columbia river and Grays and Willapa harbors. Senator Poindcxter will have charge of the naval appropriation bill when it reaches the floor of the senate on Monday, acting in thu place of Sena tor Page, chairman of the naval af fairs committee, who is ill. This bill will be a real test of the Washington senator's leadership because the most spectacular fight of the session is ex pected to be staged on some of the issues of this measure. Senator Borah's naval holiday will Bet into the discussions and some weierhty orations are in sight on this subject, it beiirg intimated that sev eral senators have been won over to the Borah proposal in the last few days. Another point of attack will be the proposed naval base at Ala meda in San Francisco bay. Senator Poindexter was one of the most sought-after men in the senate today, on account of the wide interest here in the fate of the naval bill. The ' Washington senator V'H Ight for the bill as it stands without any additions. murder had her in such fear of him, prior to the shooting that her I ' screams and sobs awoke residents' in ; the vicinity of Fourteenth and Alder I streets for blocks around. No Remorse Shows, Charge. He contends that when Mrs. Lotisso succeeded in breaking away from herj husband at Fourteenth and Alder streets and ran for her life. Thomas Lotisso pursued her and shot her down in cold blood, and that his ac tions subsequent to the murder khowed no remorse for the deed such as would have come with realization after an insane moment. Instead of remorse, the district attorney recalled the remark Lotisso was said to have made at the jail in response to an inquiry from a friend: "Oh. I bumped off the old lady last night.". Lot'sso is reported to be the king pin of the prisoners at the county jail, - for he is the only one to have reached the height of a murder charge. Every evening after 'the hearing the Inmates of near-by cor ridors have been entertained by Lo tlsso's recital of events of the day as they have impressed him. The fargest attendance of any day of the trial was observed yesterday. Judge Belt letting down the bars to some extent and permitting a large number of spectators to sit in the main courtroom behind the attorneys' tables. Only those who could find seats were admitted, however, and several score congregated In the cor ridors outside the courtroom await ing their turns. The crowd was very undemonstrative, having been warned by Judge Belt that any noise would result in immediate clearing of the courtroom.

Or ganized labor will endeavor to pre vent the passage of the pending Dill ingham bill, restricting immigration to 3 per cent of the number of aliens The American Federation of Labor will not throw out a lifeline to the North Dakota non-partisan league. That much is settled. The labor fed eration is not going in at this peril ous time for anything quite so com munique, as the Townley scheme oi r.on-Dartisan leaeueism. All the IriEue asks -is something like six million dollars to Dull the Bank of North Dakota, a non-partisan league institution, out of the ditch. An Interesting story Is told of how the matter was received In a meeting of the American Federation yester day. It was suggested by one of the members of organized labor that It would be a good thing for those with money to invest to put it in the North Dakota proposition. , "Who has any money?" piped up a voice from somewhere in the conven tion, and further discussion was stifled. The American Federation is opposed to the principle of socialism and communism, it was said, and that organized labor now regaros the non partisan league as one of those dreams tilth never come true. Some individual support Is under stood to have been obtained from In dividual labor leaders of the more radical type, but it is asserted that if the Bank of North Dakota depends upon the American Federation to save it there is no hope. 0; S.

Until the burst of temper yesterday, 'J he displayed little nervousness and ' very little emotion, even when the killing of the wife he said be lovel was recounted. Lotisso at no time during the trial ' has taken the direct position that hlr wife deserved her fate because she was guilty of infidelity, although the ' questioning and arguments of tho de fense in bolstering up the insanity plea have been euch as to cause sev- , .. eral spectators throughout the trial to comment that Tessie Lotisso ap peared to be on trial rather than her ''husband.

Page assured the jury In the course of " his argument yesterday. The lawyer insisted that the defense had broughl nothing about Tessie Lotisso into evi L' dence which had not been known to . her husband before the murder and " j. which might not have preyed upon V his mind until he reached a state is. which he was not legally responsible , for his acts. r - The state has costended throughout - the trial that, granting some of the - accusations against the dead girl are true and that her husband bad learned of the Indiscretions, these things not only did not Justify the slaying of Mrs. Lotisso, but that the . . actions of the husband prior to the murder clearly indicated that he was -- not worried greatly by his wife's con duct. Chief evidence in support of this contention was a letter written by Lotisso to an old sweetheart in October, a little more than a month before the killing, in which he re joiced over the trouble between him self and wife and addressed his old sweetheart in endearing terms. Stresa ef Kmotioa Disclaimed. Deputy District Attorney Hammer- sly laid particular stress on the fact that Lotisso s own testimony tndl , cated that he was not laboring under a stress of emotion at the time he shot his wife. The lawyer pointed out that Lotisso's own story showed ?' that several minutes bad elapsed after a confession of early infidelity which might have enraged him was made, and that, in that Interval, he did not upbraid his wife, treated her " " tenderly and even kissed her before - whipping out the pistol and ending her life in a moment of which the - defendent declared be remembered . nothing. ' The state argued that Lotisso's '.. own story was false, that he knew nothing of the Chicago incident which be had testified was told him - by his wife a few moments before ' the tragedy, that he Jearned of that later and employed It to Inject force ' into an insanity defense.

LOUIS. Mo.. Feb. 25 Dr. E. L Barnhouse, state food and drug in spector, today announced that some of the government canned goods, which tias been retailed in many places here, has been found unfit for consumption. He added that he has ordered 659 cases of the goods de stroyed. Dr. Barnhouse explained his office has received numerous complaints re cently as to the quality of the food and that following an investigation by his inspectors four local' merchants were summoned to his office. The merchants readily agreed to destroy the goods, and 440 cases of loganberries. 53 cases of soya beans and 166 cases of kraut will be dumped ir.to the Mississippi river Monday, he said. "The sale of these impure canned goods, which receive the recommen dation of the government and are thus enhanced in the eyes of the gen eral public as to purity of content, undoubtedly will cause great harm. It is a menace to the health of the country and may bring dire results. Impure canned goods cause p'omaine poisoning," he said. "I have found that in St. Iouis practically every bit of tho stuff sold by the government which we exam ined, whether labeled good or bad, was bad," Dr. Barnhouse said. "The only exceptions to this were canned peaches, apricots and cherries. Gov ernment meat in cans is all right, as a rule, but those who purchase it should cook it thoroughly tor prevent any possible infection.'!

Disorders in the province of Bari, in consequence of conflicts between socialists and mem bers of the fascistl or extreme na tionallst party, in "which several per sons were killed, are reported in special edition of the Epoca. In the first encounter, it is said, an extreme nationalist and a socialist were killed. others were wounded and the chain ber of labor of the town of Minervino Murge was stormed and burned. . Thereupon, adds the newspaper, the socialists proclaimed a general strike. obeyed among others by the employes of the electric light plant, leaving the town without light. ' A fresh en counter followed and another member of the fascist! was killed.. According to Epoca the socialists formed armed bands of peasants which scoured the country in search of extreme nationalists and land own ers, and devastated property and poisoned water used by cattle.. Three bodies are declared to have been found in a farm house, burned so badly that it was lmposible to Iden tify them. Because of the vastness of the dis turbed area, the dispatch adds, the local police and soldiers were unable to cope with the situation. Numerous troops, carbineers and rural guards were hastily dispatched by the gov ernment, which is adopting the most energetic measures to establish order. The government has suspended the head of the police In the province on the ground that he did act with suf ficient promptness and determination to prevent the trouble. The number of dead at Minervino Murge up to the present is, placed at six. been located on his farm by tlie cen sus experts. The reporter called at the home of Mr. Herrin, but was informed that ne was attending a sale. Arriving at the sale, where a crowd of some 500 hacl gathered to bargain in 'the purchase of hogs,- cattle and farming imple ments, the newspaper man had the noisV' stopped while one of the auc tioneers "paged" the man to whom notoriety has come suddenly. Wearing light blue overalls and slightly stooped with age, his. gray hair showing, from beneath a cap, Herrin was brought out of the mass and given the news. "It's all a big surprise to me. I'm sure 1 never even areamea ot sucn a thing." he exclaimed. "And so your factory in Bloomington has lost il and now I have the honor, he said. One of Herrin's neighbors, who was standing near, interjected with the question, "Will it enhance the value of his land?" The news soon spread about the crowd and within a short time Herrin was th most popular man there. The sale had been in progress all day and practically no one there had nearo the news. The new home of the center of pop ulation is just eight miles due west of the former, center on the factory site in Bloomington and is less than 300 yards over the Monroe county line in Owen county on the Blooming-ton-Spencer pike. Herrin and his wife live in Whitehall and their farm ot 60 acres of heavy timber and blue- grass land extends in a, southwesterly direction from there. Whitehall consists of three stores and about a dozen residences. Herrin and wife belong, to the Church of Christ in Monroe county and theii two sons, who are married, live in Bloomington. A newspaper man erected a marker on the new site. POPE SECMZES NUNS CARMELITE CONTEXT XEAR STRASBCRG ABOLISHED. Immorality and Refusing to Obey Papal Edict Are Charges Against Sisters.

Copyright by the New York 'World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS. Feb. 25. (Special Cable.) A papal decree dissolving the Carmel ite convent at Marienthal, near Strasburg, and secularizing the moth er superior and the other nuns be cause they refused to return money to two expelled German nuns and be cause of alleged immorality, was an nounced' today. It is expected that the pope will ask the French gov ernment to enforce the decree, as the nuns refuse to leave the convent. Such a request will test the present friendly relations, existing between the Vatican and the French govern ment, for as the nuns own the con vent and the adjoining lad, it is doubtful if the government will feel called upon to expel them.. Extreme nationalists -charge that the dissolu tion order is the result of German propaganda, while the pope's inter ference in what is considered by them as purely French matters is bitterly resented by the anti-clericals. After expwiling the two Germans some time ago, the mother superior refused to return to them money they had brought with them when they entered the convent. The head of the Carmelite order admitted 'he was un abljB to cope with the situation, which was complicated by the immorality charges, and appealed to the pope. Because of this a papal delegate, Dominican Zadoc Szabo, a Hungarian, prohibited the Catholics of the sur rounding region from holding anj intercourse with the inmates of tht convent. This brought no change in the attitude of the nuns, so the dele gate returned to the convent yester day and summoned them before him. They failed to appear and the pope's edict dissolving the convent for schis matic action and rebellion against Rome was issued. ' For some time the convent has been the center of heated disputes. Re cently a father came to Marientha! and forcibly removed his 18-year-old daughter, who had announced her in tention of becoming a nun and fled to the convent . Elks Observe Anniversary.
