“REBELLION” ON THE LIDO. A Swedish lady staying in Venice has had an unpleasant experience similar to that which befell the British King’s messenger at Milan over the question of showing identity papers in the street. The lady, says the Rome correspondent of the “Daily Express,” was stopped on the Lido. l>y am official of the 'Carabinieri, who disked her for her papers. .She was indignant and refused, whereupon he told her he must take her to the police station. The lady became so exasperated that she punched and kicked the police official. She was finally ta.ken to the police station with the help of two other policemen, and will be prosecuted for “rebellion to the authorities.” The incident is worth reporting as a lesson to foreigners in Italy, that whilst people are not usually molested with any such demands it may occasionally happen, and then it is best to submit to the simple formality of showing one’s papers.
