Notes

It was stated from Rome that Premier Benito Mussolini will ask the Chamber of Deputies, when it opens on Nov. 8, for an extension of the full powers accorded to him when he became Dictator last year. The extension is likely to be for six months.

Premier Mussolini announced that the Government had granted allowances of 2,000,000 lire to the families of the members of the Italian Mission who were murdered in August near Janina in the Epirus, Greece.

Captain Ezio Garibaldi, grandson of the patriot, received the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary and was sent on a special mission to Mexico. The object of his mission is to seek an economic accord with Mexico, where Italy can obtain a large part of the raw materials necessary to her industries.

Anselmo Bonin, accustomed to boasting that he had a great fortune in gold and who was always ready to lend to his neighbors, was disturbed by a visit from four masked bandits. Bonin refused to divulge the hiding place of his gold hoard and the bandits first beat him " until his body was a mass of blood and bruises," then broke his bones. The victim was reported unwilling to speak, so the bandits roasted him over a fire in the kitchen hearth; then left him for dead. Bonin was not dead! No trace of the inquisitioners was found.
