RELATING TO JOSEPH ROSsI.
A Common Dago Addicted to Uncom-
mon PretensiOns.

Joseph 'Rossi, distinguished in his
Importance as an Italian inheritee of
millions, has disclosed himself to be
common inmate of a prison in Italy,
says the Lewiston Tribune. He is the
man who entering the northwest as an
Italian of high parentage. made peo-
pie believe that he was of the aristoc-
racy of Italy and therefore entitled to
recognition and credit.
He is the man who asserted that he
had invested millions in the lewiston
is the man who declared he would in
vest millions in mansions and inciden-
tai appurtenances for the purpose Of
outlining a scope of home which
would accommodate the most esthet-
ic taste of the greatest foreigner; he
built, he outlined, he conceived far
beyond what Italians could see. He
was a man of ingenuity and he aimed
to make Lewiston the Mecca of INTEL
lect for the inland empire.
This is Rossi as the public saw him
at that time. He was the young Ital-
ian, 22, perhaps 23 years of age, awk-
ward in the English language, but very
pretentious as to his knowledge Of the
American tongue, of which he could
not pronounce either a single conso-
nant or a vowel. He was freak here
naturally, and the people of the Lew
iston-C Charleston country received him
as such.
Despite the fact that during his mil
lenium he was received by high-toned
people and that he was courted and
entertained by such, his name is
Joseph Parelli. He Is imprisoned In
Italy because he represented himself
to be an adopted son of an American
millionaire and seemed to work the
same game abroad as he worked In
this country.
The information the Tribune re-
ceived relative to this matter is from
the director of the leading prison of
Italy in which this man Is confined.
The information leads to the fact that
he vii lremain there during his natur-
al life, considering the number OF
complaints lodged against him.

"Cut out verbiage: don't write so
many words, words, words; boil
down your opinions; express yourself
succintly and SIMPLY; remember that
every word you dictate or write costs
the government money and time and
cutters up the files with useless
bombast and redundancy"
This isn't exactly the language
used, but is what Commissioner r. A.
Baliinger of the general land office
means in an order he has promul-
E. Lathrop in a Washington letter.
He purposes to compel the elimina-
tion of repotitions in land office de-
cisions and documents of all sorts,
and to bring the work of his bureau
down to business basis.
This seems to be characteristic of
the man. Although he has been only
a month in office, he has wrought
many changes which will make for
the coed of the service. He came TO
Washington with the reputation of
being a fine executive officer, and in
this short time he has justified the
reputation.

BERRY FREIGHTS
TO BE LOWER

Officials Of the freight department OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad have completed
their schedule Of rates for the shipment
Of berries from the peninsula to the mar.
kets Of New England States. The now
schedule shows a reduction Of ten cents
on the hundred pounds. IN a majority Of
cases, on car load lots Of 1900 pounds
minimum weight to those points
In the matter Of shipment to points N
Pennsylvania and New York it is the in-
tention Of the company 10 adopt the same
basis as the competitive lines from Baltl-
more and it is trying to put the cost of
shipments of berries all on same basis
and up TO the geographical location OF the
shipper as 70 VINO has the advantage
The rates from Rridgevllle. the largest
shipping point on the division, to Jersey
City. will be sixty cents per hundred
pounds. in car load lots and from Dover
52lh cents.
Although the schedule for the ship
ment of peaches during the season has
not been arranged, Division Freight
Agent Kingston stated to-day that the
tariff viii be lower this year than last.
No Shelves for Cars
The Pennsylvania railroad has noti-
feed fruit shippers that cars for the
shipment of peaches this season will
not be shelved, and this announcement
has caused some dissatisfaction among
the growers, they calming that it Will
be detrimental to their business.
The freight department Of the road
claims that the reason for this move
Is that the shelving of cars for peaches
interferes greatly with the movement
Of other perishable fruit During the
peach season on the Delaware railroad
there are used every year about 500 cars
Of the ventilated type in the shipment
of peaches.
These cars are Withdrawn from lines
Of the company in various sections and
all replaced by the ordinary freight
cars. They are sent to points along
the Delaware division where shelves
are placed in them. To do this work
two months are reqiredi and a similar
time is necessary to atrip them after
the season is over.
This method causes shortage OF
freight cars in many sections and as
a consequence shippers of melons,
cantelOupes and other perishable fruits
are put to a disadvantage by not be-
ing able to get cars. as shelved cars
cannot be used for this purpose.
1t is pointed out In This connection
that in many fuit shipping sections
throughout the country shelved cars
have not been in existence for some
years.
