steam rollers, prepares the surface,
the second gang lays bed rock and
gravel, while the other gang gives
the road the finishing touches. The
other gangs, each 100 strong, are
working on the walks, laying btu
lithic footway that is put down rap
idly and with but little trouble.

DuEL pEAIH OF lW0
Girl Watches suitors Shoot Until
One Falls.

New York Especially After a
furious pistol battle for the hand
of beautiful artists model who had
promised to wed the victor in the
deadly duel, one man was killed in
stantly and the other, whose bullet
had plowed through the heart OF
his best friend and lifelong chum,
turned his own weapon against his
breast and died later in the hospi-
tai. The young woman was one OF
the many of the participants
friends who witnessed the fatal COM
mat, and after she saw )ne OF her
suitors carried away In a patrol
wagon to the morgue aud the hur-
ried dying to the hospital, she walk
ed away as unconcernedly as from
an afternoon tea.
This affair, which has no match
in the police annals Of Greater New
York. and which even outdoes fiction.
occurred at Ozone Park. a suburb of
Brooklyn. The participants OF the
duel were Vincenzo Sica, twenty
eight years old, and Antonio Tian-
dino. TWENTY-FIVE years old, who
roomed together at 277T ocean Ave-
nue., East New York. Both men
were artists OF considerable reputa-
tion in the best Italian circles of
New York. The young woman for
whose affections the two chums
fought the duel is Marie Allegretto,
dark-haired girl of twenty, whose
beauty had made her famous in the
studios of Naples before she came
to America and made herself the fa-
vorite of the Italian artists Of New
York.
For months both artists had been
paying devoted attentions to the
model, and although each knew that
Marie's acceptance of the other
would be the sealing of his fate.
their relations were as friendly as
ever. and both vowed that the man
Marie chose for her husband would
receive the blessings of the other.
Both had pleaded with the beautiful
model. while she was posing for the
works that have made them locally
famous, to decide soon, telling her
frequently that her delay was only
making 1t harder for either of them
to give her up The light-hearted
girl only laughed, and said she loved
them both so much it was hard TO
choose

London (By Cable e)-Writing from
the Russian famine district. DR.. Ken
nard, who was sent by the Society OF
Friends to investigate conditions
among the peasantry, draws an ap-
paling picture of the suffering. Al
ter calling attention to the urgent
and immediate need of funds, he
says:
This is the worst famine Russia
has known. No less than 100000
people distributed throughout the
Southeastern Provinces cannot live
without aid to see another harvest,
ard | may say that this figure has
been not only approved by the Zemst-
vo organization, but also by the gov
ernment itself.
The date of the harvest will vary
with the latitude, and the famine
stricken region is spread over such
wide area GIVE times the size of
France) that more than 10 degrees
of latitude are involved. This means
that in direct proportion from south
to north the harvest will be from
July to % (new style).
Black Bread for Babes.
"It will be seen that funds will be
needed to the end of July to feed all
these millions, and then the harvest
will bring relief; but there are many
hundreds of thousands to whom the
harvest will not bring relief, for they
have neither land nor cattle. The
few cows that are in existence are in
such a uitiful condition themselves
> Co In O
poses.
"The result Is that babies and
young children are being forced to
eat the coarse black bread and the
| indigestible young cucumbers, which
are luxuries to the adult Russian
peasant today, but are death to the
baby, or, at any rate, spell disease.
These people have sold their all and
in most cases have likewise sold in
advance all that the harvest might
bring them.
The Starving Women.
"They have sold themselves and
their work, and from all over the
southeastern provinces reports are
| coming in of young women and girls
! forced to prostitute themselves to OBJ
| tain food. For these suffering people
| to whom the coming harvest means
nothing, relief must be afforded dur
ing the whole of the coming year
Meanwhile epidemics of disease add
to the terrible conditions obtaining
| The difficulties encountered in re-
lieving these people are made 1C
times worse now, owing to the prac
tically impossible condition of the
country roads; the winter SHOWS are
melting and projecting vast volumes
of water in countless cotaracts to-
ward Mother Volga, and neither mar
nor beast can hope to do anything
in the way of travel"

AT THE LUDWIG

John Sommers, formerly Superintend-
ent OF the Ludwig Co., has severed his
connection with that company and is
now in the employ of mining company
which has interests in several parts of
the State. Mr.. Sommers will make his
headquarters at Berkeley. Geo. P. Ro-
mang, who was bookkeeper for the Lud-
wig, has also left that company.
The property is now under the man
agement of Mr.. David Ross, mining
man of much experience. who took
charge last week. Just at present no
material change is to be made in oper-
ating the property--the shipments of
high grade ore will be continued and de-
velopment work carried on. Later it is
possible that new system of work may
be inaugurated. The owners of the
property seem to be perfectly satisfied
that the million-dollar sale did not ma
terialize.
