A recent visitor to Bavaria has written
home, telling some of his trials and tribu-
latioEs. According to his lament, person
who desires the privilege of riding a wheel
in Munich must first announce himself at
police headquarters After giving his name
age, birthplace, profession and general
good character, an appointment is made for
him to appear and give an exhibition of
riding before experts. If, from nervousness,

Is given two metal numbers One of these
numbers must be fastened to the handle
bars and the other behind the saddle and
they serve to identify a rider who breaks
rule. If you hang your coat over the
handle bars or with bundle hide the num-
bers you will be stopped by a German po-
liceman.
Along with the numbers is furnished
gratis a little book of -ules and regulations,
which must be ready for police inspection
at any moment AS for the number of
rules, in reading the wonder grows that
one small book could hold them all. No
boy or girl Is allowed to ride and those
between thirteen and eighteen can only do
SO with the consent of parents or guar
dams. The metal numbers are not ex-
changeable, and severe penalties attach to

rider must keep to the right. ard he must
ring bell within ten meters Of crossings.
When he meets the prince regent he must
dismount, but as far as any of the other
royalties are concerned he may keep his
seat, providing he does not go In front or
alongside of them. No bicycle can be rid

utes, about six miles an hour. Fancy rid

fines for the violation Of these rules run as
high as 900 marks and two years imprison-

Today England holds every worlds record

not be far off. He secured the services OF
a diver. On account of the current In the

The bill gives the into rstate commerce

Mr.. Chandler said he would not press
the bill unless an effort was made to pass
the pooling bill" allowing railroads to
combine. In that case he would urge
this as an amendment to the pooling
bill. If congress abolishes railroad COM

well abolish other competition.

CHARGED WITH ARSON
Wanted Money to Bet on the
Races

SAN FRANCISCO. April 5.-Mrs Ka-
tie Malcomson, keeper of lodging house
at 131 Taylor street. was arrested today
and booked at the city prison for arson.
She is suspected of having set fire to her
place in order to secure the insurance
money on her furniture.
Fire was discovered early Saturday
morning in Mrs Malcomsion's house.
After tile flames were subdued the fire
men found that fire had been set in four
or five rooms on the second and third
floors. The materials used were old
newspapers and excelsior. The excel
sior had been obtained from bed mat
tresses. which had been ripped open
with some sharp instrument.
Inquiry revealed that Mrs. Malcolm
son had S1069 worth of insurance on her
furniture; that she had offered to sell
this furniture for $500; that she was in
arrears IL her rent. and had only one
steady roonaer in the house, and that she
had been losing money at the races.
Mrs. Malcomson denies that she set
fire to her house. but is unable to give
any plausible explanation of the cir
cumstances that lead the detectives to
believe that she IS the guilty person.

CARSON GRAND JURORS
VIII Not Be Called on to 1ndlcr
Jones

CARSON New. April 5.-When the
United States grand jury met today it
was understood that the case of United
States District Attorney Jones, charged
with assauIting Sam Davis, editor of
the Carson Appeal. would come before
that body, but Judge Hawley instruct
ed the grand jurors that they could
not act upon the case unless it was
presented to them in proper way,
which had not been done. The proper
course for Davis to have taken was
to appear before the commissioner at
Jones' residence and there have pre-
liminary examination. The judge in
structed the jury that neither through
the press nor by letter was the proper
way to bring any alleged neglect on
the part of an official to the grand
jury The general impression here is
that this practically ends the case IN
this line; but it is intimated that Davis
himself may be indicted for contempt
of court for the publication of the arti-
cles that led to the trouble and similar
ones since.

IN Russia there has been bankruptcy
law in force since 1925; how much longer
cannot say not having had access to
their earlier laws. The fact that these
great nations have found 1t desirable IN
conducting business and in the promo
ffon of enterprise to have such law for
the mutual protection of debtors and
creditors, constitute a precedent of per-
ssuasive force to the members of this
body.
"During the past ter years there has

fer. It has not been the purpose Of
those conducting this agitation to Sc
cure the enactment of a purposeless law
~xcept so far as it should be compre-
I,ensive of the rights of all honest peo-
ple: they have not gone about the work
with the secrecy which attends the pro-
motion of selfish ends but have sought
the greatest publicity for the cCrsldera
tion of the subject.
1.-THE product of these years of agita-
tion has been the Torrey bankruptcy

generally considered and universally in
dorsed throughout the country than any
measure OF like character which has
beeH considered and discussed by con-

Mailing Candy ABROAD.

Ayoung man who apparently knows
girl IN London came into the Office the
other day and asked whether candy
could be sent abroad through the mails.
80 he was taken over to the postofioe
and the state of affairs was laid before
an ondcial, who instigated an investiQa.
ton After long time he returned and
reported as follows:
II am very glad, said he, that you
asked that question. It's answer shows
q curious state Of affairs. In this conn.
try you can send candy up to 4 pounds
as merchandise for / cent for each
ounce. II you want to send CANDY
abroad you only have to pay 1 cent for
every 2 ounces. but you can only send
IL ounces in each package. If it weighs
more than IL ounces you have to nav
letter rates, or 10 cents an ounce for the
whole thing.
THAT is to say, you can send 10
ounces to London for cents. but il
would cost you 10 cents to send it TO
Brooklyn. So If You are thinking Of
sending a pound il will cost you 81. so.
The stamp department is right over
there
Thank you very much,'' said the
young man. II just happen to remem-

girl to eat candy. New York Mail
