Throw them out!" The hubbub suddenly quieted and a spokesman from among the visitors told the Assembly that they were neither surprised nor of- fended at the interjectionr, and asked the Socialists to believe that they were innocent of Matteotti's blood. Later, Count Hunyadi and Count Apponyi read the prepared address of welcome, and the ses- slon closed, but not before the Socialists had explained that they were not against the Italian peo- ple, and revere. ly honofed the memory of Garibaldi and Maz- zini, but were strongly opposed to the present oppressors of the Italian proletariat, supporters drown out the FIRE IN JAPAN DESTROYS OVER 1,000 BUILDINGS Tokio, April 18.--More than 1,- 000 buildings were destroyed in the City of Hirosaki by a fire which raged for seven hours before be- ing placed under control, today.
