2 PHIBT HOTLY DENIES ■E OF INFORMER Interesting Alleged Caniorrists Are Confronted on Stand by Abbatemaggio ■1 .'By Aaoociated Press.) I VITERBO. Italy. May fi-Two of the I moat interesting ot the alleged Camnr • rials charged with the murder of Gen naro Cuoccolo and his wife confronted Gennaro Abbatemaggio, the Informer, to dtry. They were Luigi Arena and the priest, Ciro Vitozzi. At the gonclnaiqn of the accusations and denials it appear ed to the auditors that no progress had been made by either the prosecution or i the defense. Arena, according to the theory of the ■tate, bas<d on the revelations of Abba s’ tcmaggio. had been sent to prison after his betrayal by Cuoccolo. who was of- J fended because arena refused to share with him the profits of a robbery. Arena ‘ wrote to bU fellow-Camorrists. setting forth his grievances and demanding Cu- ■ bccolo’s death. AU of this was vehe mently denied today by Arena, who de- f nounced the informer as a manufactur er of evidence and the paid tool of the - carabineers. • According to the testimony of Abbate f maggio, he had heard Vitozzi. the priest who is one of the accused, and Enrico Alfano, alleged head of the society, dis cussing the Cuoccolo murders at 10:30 * o'clock on the morning after the as saasinat.ons. Viozzl replied that he can prove that on the day and at the hour mentioned he was at the cemetery of < Poggiorc iio. of which be was chaplain. >• JNO. POOLFcASrWILL BE FOUGHT TO BITTER END ’ FOWLER.

The rebel horsemen, who are beyond reach of ar tillery, have cut oft the food supplies. The sultan’s troops are worn out with the constant skirmishing and watchful ness.

Aycock Offers Car and Services for Selecting of Route MOULTRIE, Ga., May fi.-The an nouncement in yesterday’s paper that the Moultrie chamber of commerce would scout out a permanent highway from Moultrie to Pensacola connecting with the National Highway at Tifton has already created a great deal of in terest among the towns of south Geor gia, west Florida and south Alabama. The chamber of commerce is being be sieged' with correspondence by mail and wire, indorsing the movement and oth ers asking that the scout car travel routes different from those already pro posed. The chamber of commerce is hewing to a clean cut line of impartial ity and every town's claims will be giv en careful attention. Mr. W. E. Aycock, president of the Cobb Real Estate company offered hiz Knox Greyhound car to be used as the Moultrie scout car and himself as dri ver, which offer was accepted by the Qoinmittee on arrangements. The car which Mr. Aycock has ten dered is a five-passenger touring car of the staunch Knox type and adapted es pecially for the work before it. It has a record second to none in the state having already traveled over 50,000 miles. Mr. Aycock will be at the wheel and no better man in the state could be found to fill this position. He has had a great deal of experience in scout trips ana good road tours, having been in the ini tial run of the Journal and Herald tour from New York to Atlanta making a perfect score. The car is rapidly being equipped with all the accessories and appurtenances required for a long trip. Both the Warner and Stewart odome ters will be used and these will be given a thorough test before the start, as much depends on the accuracy of these machines. The car is equipped with a 40-horse power motor and Fisk tires, 36-4 1-2 inches. On the jtrunk rack be hind will be found the small luggage of the scouts. Weight in every respect will be held down to a minimum to save un necessary strain on the car in sandy roads. The scouts will run the main trunk lines as published in yesterday’s paper. They will have no time for running small connecting links. Their purpose will be to get a view of the situation as a whole without being too minute in their exam ination of any route. It will be upon this general survey that the selection of one of the trunk lines will be made, af ter they have run every mile of all of them. After highway has been selected the scout car will return over this route and smaller details op the trip will be perfected. It is the intention of the Moultrie chamber of commerce to make this branch from the National Highway to. Pensacola one of the finest in the coun try. No stones will be left unturned by this progressive commercial body in making it complete in every detail. Sign boards will be placed in every place that is necessary, so that a tourist coming from the east can go straight through without Inquiring his way. The highway will also be well advertised. The officials who will accompany the car will be published within the next day or two. LIVE WIRE KILLS ONE DOESN’T HURT OTHER ALBANY. N.
