QUARREL ENDS IN DEATH
Stranger Shoots Another in Restau
rant During Trivial Dispute.
Now Held for Murder
Two strangers quarreled over a trivial
matter In a restaurant and less than an
hour later one of them shot the other.
Inflicting Injuries which caused death.
This Is the explanation given by the po
lice of the killing of Samuel Naplo, 25
years old, proprietor of a restaurant at
ZXlS North 22d street; last night.
John Fcrrlerl, 23 years old, S05t Stella
street, will have a preliminary hearing
today In central court accused of being
the slayer.
Four shots were fired at Naplo, three
of them taking effect. He died In the
Women's Homeopathic Hospital. Ferrlerl
was arrested as he was about to board
a train at the North Philadelphia Sta
tion. Ferrlerl entered Napla's restaurant last
plght In company with Allvcrto Fran
ilsco, who lives at the Stella street ad
dress. They ordered coffee. According
t) the police, Fcrrlerl Btarted to take
some cakes lying on the counter of the
restaurant and the owner objected. The
police say tho patrons had been drink
ing. A dispute resulted, but Fcrrlerl
mollified Naplo and the trouble appar
ently was sotfed.
Soon afterward Ferrlerl returned to the
rating house and fired a revolver point
blank at the proprietor, the police al
lage. They declare the victim and as
sailant had been strangers until the
meeting In the restaurant and scout the
idea that Jealousy of 'a woman was a
factor In the case. Tho rumor spread
through the neighborhood after the shoot
ing that the accused man was a former
rival of Naplo's for the affections of Na
plo's wife Rosa, whom ho married two
months ago.

LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER
ITALIANS TO OBSERVE
HOLIDAY MTIIBENEUT
Wnr Relief Orchestral Concert
Tonight in Celebration of
"II Venti Settembre"
Forty-five years airo todny, tho troops
of King Victor Kmmnnuel II, lfd by
Ocncral UnfTnolc Claldlnl, a veteran o
tho Itallnn wars of liberation, appeared
before the Bternal City, tho Itome of the
Popes, opened with their artillery a
breach In the wallB of Porta Pla and
entered tho city, which had been twice
tho cnpltal of the world. General Clal
dlnl, who hnd won a real battle nine
years beforo at Castelfldardo, was not
on September M, 1870, hailed as a strate
gist or n tactician. Ho had won no
battle, because tho Papal Guard had
ottered virtually no resistance, but to tho
Italians he had won a tremendous moral
battle mado possible only by tho defeat
of the KYench JJmperor at Sedan. He
hnd given Italy her capital and had
destroyed the temporal power of tho
Pope.
WHOLE NATION CELEBRATES,.
A year or so later, when the Italian
Parliament met for the first time In Itome
and the Qulrtnal was made the residence
of the Klnss of Italy, the day on which
General Claldlnl had opened the breach of
Torta Pia was declared a national holi
day. Slnco then September 20, "II XX
Settembre." as the Italians style it, has
been celebrated by the whole nation. Ir
respective of religious creed. In the land
of Dante and far away, wherever Dante's
tongue Is spoken and understood, wher
ever there aro Italians tolling their way
to better economical conditions and never
forgetting that they camo from tho land
whenco Latin civilisation was spread over
tho known world and whero a nation has
attained In a trldo more than half a cen
tury the rank of a great Power.
The Italians of Philadelphia observe the
holiday as the Italians of any other set
tlement do. Dut this year thero will not
be tho usual banquet. Instead of enjoy
ing an elaborate dinner, they will listen
to a concert, given by tho orchestral
organization of Slgnor lUtore Martini, In
the Musical Fund Hall, and will turn
over the proceeds of the affair to the
competent authorities to be distributed to
the Itnllan Itcd Cross and to the families
of the Philadelphia Italians who have re
sponded to the calt to nrms which has
come fiom Italy since King Victor Em
manuel, pressed by tho nation, declared
wnr on Austria to liberate the Italian
provinces still under Austrian rule.
Had Too Many Bullets; 30 Days
A hnll of heavy calibre revolver cart
ridges, which fell from tho third-story of
a house nt 731 South 10th street, attracted
a great crowd and two policemen, who
arrested Evlgno Mazzano, 40 years old,
na the man who threw the missiles None
of them exploded Mazzano, who was
sent to jail for 30 days today, said ho has
a son who was a cowboy In Mexico, and
that his long absence had caused him
great anguish.
Abington Fire Chief Hurt
Fire Chief William H. Ferguson, of the
Ablngton Fire Company, Is nursing a
badly Injured right wrist today as the
result of an attempt to crank the big
motor chemical machine owned by tho
company. He will be out of service six
or seven weeks. Several small bones In
his wrist were broken when tho engine
backfired.
Percy Madeira in Auto Crash
Percy C. Madeira, society man and
wealthy coal operator, narrowly es
caped Injury on Township line road
near Jcnklntown last night when his
automobile collided with another car.
He clung to, the Btcerlng wheel and
escaped. Both drivers had their cars
well under control and this probably
prevented a more serious crash.
MOKEMACHER'S HAIRY ONION
INDICATES A HARD WINTER
"But, by Cricky, I'll Not Tell How Bad Till I'm Ready,"
Says Famous Prophet, as He Smooths
New Growth of Fuzz
"The mange, by cricky!" muttered
Simeon M. Mokemacher at dawn today
as he poked around In hlB onion patch
in the loneliest section of tho Neck. "Get
tln' heavier 'n' heavier every day, and
longer too. Tarnation, but It beats me."
Tho lean, angular weather prophet who
prognosticated by his onions, which he
says prove the connection between animal
and vegetable life, straightened up to his
full 6 foot and 7 Inches.
"Sho!" ho said, seeing tho reporter for
tho first time. "You're hero ag'ln, eh7
Fuit thing I know they'll all find me, and
then I'll havo to move again, young fel
ler. What do you want now, young fel
ler J"
Mr. Mokemacher was questioned deli
cntely about his activities In the onion
patch. It was necessary to be delicate
and not too direct, because ho teemed
to be a trifle annoyed.
BOHTA' OUT O' HUMOR.
"None o" yer business," he snapped.
"Now, Mr. Mokemacher"
"Shet up," he Interrupted. "Shet up, or
I'll stuff an onion down your throat. Now,
look-a-hcre, young feller, I don't want to
be techy, but this thing's getting me sore.
I don't mind for myself, but ft makes the
onions nervous to havo strangers 'round
all thr time. Hereafter you whistle before
j on nine near the patch so' I can warn
'em and get 'em quieted down."
The reporter promised, and Moke
macher, mollified, then became more
tractable. It was explained to him that
various weather prophets havo been mak
ing predictions about the winter and that
some criticism has been directed at him
for his failure to do so. Instead of be
colng enraged this caused Mokemacher
to go into a paroxysm of laughter,
OTHER, PROPHETS "JOKES."
"Shucks," he chuckled. "Sonny, I'm
awaiting 'till all these fake prophets get
their Ideas In, go's they can't learn the
truth from me and then steal the credit.

Mokemacher hurried on without giving

reiterated his Intention not to tell, adding;

BROTHERHOOD MEN
DISCUSS WITHDRAWALS
Expect Legal Proceedings to Be
Started by Minority
of Home
Much Interest has been aroused among
members of the Brotherhood ot America
by the report made of the withdrawal
of. two homes from the Grand Homo of
Pennsylvania at the 46th annual session
at Reading last week. Tho part of Grand
Scroll Keeper Kathryn Fritz's report
that has caused discussion follows:
"It Is a matter of common report that Mary
S. Dtsston Home, No. 18, has seoeded from
our ordor and that certain of Ita membera aro
operating under a charter granted by an asso.
elation known aa "The Grand Circle of New
Jersey, Urotherhood or America. Continent of
America," compesed of dlsloyaKmembers of
our order. A respectable minority of mem
bers of this homo aro not In sympathy with
Its action and haa signified a desire to remain
loyal to the Grand Home of Pennsylvania, and
will. In the near future, begin legal proceed
ings to protect Ita Interest nnd uphold the
laws of our order. The Grand Home, In my
opinion, ought to lend every assistance In Its
power.
' Martha Jefferson Home No. 20, If report
re true. Is operating as an Independent asso
ciation. For some reason unknown It would
not affiliate with the disloyalists from New
Jersey. With respect to the other two homes,
1 am unable to report anything but the failure
to pay per capita tax and make reports. All
of the homes heretofore named are still In
.oesslon of the paraphernalia, rituals' and
other property. Some action should be taken
to recover the charter, etc."
In closing her report, the grand scroll keeper
asks that greater activity be shown, so that.
Instead of a decrease In membership during
the ensuing jear, there might be a greater In
creaeo than any year In tho history of the or
ganization. WOMAN KILLED BY AUTO
