TARIFF WAR WITH ITALY.
This Is Threatened by Secre-

DUTY .ON ITALIAN SUGARS.
tar Trade With the Italians Amounts
to Sz5H. 600, 900 Per Annum and
Will Be Seriously Affected.

Washington. June I9.-Secretarv
Gage has taken action that threat
ems to plunge the United States into
d tariff war with Italy similar to that
now on between the United States
and Russia
/ The order is that there be no
! liquidation in entries of sugar com
| ing from Italy until treasury officials
can ascertain to what extent, if any,
bounty is paid to Italian sugar
growers. \ cOuntervailing duty viii
be ordered placed equal to whatever
bounty is found to be paid.
At most the amount of sugar that
it is proposed to ship here from Italy
will be exceedingly small. while the
total exports of all kinds from the
United States TO Italy last year
amounted to sos, BOO, 1927. which
vast volume of trade is now mem
aced.
Tie Russian government has al |
ready imposed higher tariff rates on
American bicycles and maximum |
rates on resin and galipot, the new
rates to become operative Friday. |
These increases are not in retaliation |
for the cOuntervailing duty imposed |
on Russian sugar RUSSIA and al
ready applied the maximum duties
to American machinery and certain
agricultural implements for that, |,
)ut because of the treasury order of
March 8, applying tariff restrictions
against Russian petroleum, as pro-
rided for in the Dingley law As no
russian petroleum is imported into

hOrltleS consider the order of March
inexcusable. i

FOUND POT OF GOLD.
Georgia Farmer Consulted a
Fortune Teller.
SHE TOLD THE HIDING PLACE.

Savannah, Ga, June 19.-W "
Brannen Is prosperous farmer who
recently lived in Savannah For
some time he has felt it in his bones
that he would one day be- rich man.
He dropped into a fortune teller's
place in Savannah. and this sage
| told him that on his farm. in Bullock
county. in one end of an old milldam
was buried much money Brannen
did not give the matter much
thought at first. but could not help
dreaming about it now and then. So
he moved back TO his old home and
went to digging around. In the
meantime a young woman living
near Brannen found that she pos
sessed the power OF mesmerism. She
got one OF Brannen' little girls un-
der her influence and the youngster
said that there was on her father
place, in a certain spot. a great pot
of gold buried. Brannen says this
caused him TO renew his efforts. He
was laughed at by his neighbors, but
about this time two other little girls |
told the same kind of gold story.
Brannen continued his digging, |
and yesterday he struck a pot of
ante bellum gold that contained
5000 in gold coin. When or by
whom this treasure was hid away
knows nor does Mr. Brannen
are, now that he has the laugh on
his neighbors.

NEGROES BUYING THE REVOLvERS.
Excitement at Leavenworth, Kansas,
Over d Discovery.

LeavenWorth, kas., June u Con
siderable excitement has been created
by the unearthing of what appears
to be a scheme OF the negroes of
Leavenworth to arm themselves
with revolvers purchased from sol
diers at Fl. Leavenworth. Ever
since the burning OF Fred Alexander
the negroes of LeavenwOrth have
been in an ugly mood and conserva-
tive men say that the race feeling
stirred up at that time may break
out any time. The police are doing
everything possible to kill this feeling
and are assisting the officers at Fl.
LeavenWOrth to recover he revOlvers
1t seems that the negroes had circu
lated the report that they would buy
up all the government revolvers Of
fered and several of the soldiers took
the opportunity of disposing of the
government : property. Lieutenant
F. l.. Deem OF Troop X. finally set
trap for the negroes, instructing sev-
eral of the privates to offer their
weapons for sale. Three negroes who
bought them were arrested and are
being held.

Mckinley to one side. Between the crashes
Mr.. Mckinley put his hand to his head
there was terrific crash from above. We
called the rest of the party together and
plainly told them the situation.
'At first we were speechless-tearless
Then came the torrent. From above broke
forth astounding masses of water; great
sheets of it. The heavens wept with us.
There was a rainbow, the like of which
few men have even seen. 1t was an arch
Of crimson and gold that rivaled MONDAY

ment in mute astonishment.
1T is the sign from God that He will
let our brother live, was her remark as
she fell upon her knees.
With tears streaming from our faces
we die likewise, and the prayer that went
up certainly must have reached the Father
above for the rainbow grew wider and
brighter we prayed and suddenly fiared
up as if asserting to our supplications."
