An ApflI Fool.

Turin, Italy, April 1.-The Turin
Gszate thought it would be funny to
"A2ril fool" Italy into thinking Miss
katherine Elkins was due in the country
yesterday. 1t printed bogus telegram
saying the object of the Duke Of Abruzzi's
courtship would arrive 10 Turin from
Paris late in the afternoon. Turin
turned out 10 body to welcome her.
The station was packed at the hour the
train was expected. Newspaper men
and photographers, press, profe ssional
and amateur, swarmed on the platform.
The train Numbered 10. A pretty
English girl slighted. The crowd mis-
tookIher for Mas Elkins. Itsurged for
ward. 1t nearly mobbed the girl.
1t cbsered frsntically. The reporters
begged for interviews. The girl could
not speak Italian. The reporters could
not talk EDglish. The girl became
frightened. She could not understand
what was the matter. She cried.
Finally an interpreter elboWed his way
to the front. He talked a moment to
the girl. Then be explained. The
crowd laughed and dispersed. The
English girl was sugrier than any one.
She jumped In a carriage and drove to
the nearest hotel. She has recovered
today but for n time she was on the
verge of Mysteries.

A plea OF not guilty Was entered by

discharged from the hospital yesterday

tions of dozen or more negro attorneys

Unless more foundation Ia laid thau

it was sscertained, will not require the

that something bearing on the charges
will be divulged. 1t is the opinion that
this assumption has not yet been estab-

The Racing BIZ.

Albany, N. Y, April a. By a vete
OF 81 to 10 10 the Senate today the Hart
amendment to the Percy Gray Law. saS
of the snti-raciug bills, which slrssdy
has passed the assembly, was substituted
for the Agnew bill which was Identical
to 1t and which was advanced Last nigl {
after hours OF debate. Thus amended,
II fioally passed, will end race track bet
ting in New York state. The motion to
substitute was made in order 10 get the
bill before the Senate 10 the order of
final passage. II the Senate passes the.
bills Of assemblymsn Hart instead Off
the Aguew bills, the legislation will boz
complete. The backbone Of the OPP
position was completely broken. 6eua-
tor Grady, however, made protest oni
points Of order and tried to prevent the
procedure. The same motion was made
Immediately sfterwsrd In connection
with the bills amending the penal code
and Grady again began his tactics tor
delay.
Senator Grady turned the cleyerest
trick OF his Eight when he moved that
the Amendment to the penal code be
referred to the revision committee on ths
ground that the Hart and Agnew billp,
which II was desired to substitute, we're
not identical. The motion wss carried
ard ihsn 1t Immediately was recognized
that the bills had fallen into the ksnds
Of the enemy. The revision committee
is controlled by Senator's Wemple,
Emerson, Sullivan and Sober all strongly
opposed 10 the anti-racing Legislation.
The other three members are Smith,
SAKE and Carpenter. II is expected that
this committee will hold the bills az long
as possible and then report IS unisvorablY
as possible. This probably will cause
much unexpected delay.
Senator RaiDes said just before recess.

track bills could be passed to-day This
will throw the question over until next

Conditions ln Havti.

Port su Prince, April 2.-lhe Hay
tian government issued q formal depisl
today of the charge that political execu-
lions are continuing despite all sssur-
ances given the representatives Of foreign
powers that they have stopped.
The statement has failed to allsy alarm.
It ia not believed 10 diplomatic circles,
and its supposedly misleading character
is taken by foreigners SIS final proof
that the government IL not TO be trusted.
Refugees in the French legation have
furnished Minister Osrteron with what
he considers absolutely convincing evil
dence that several suspected government
plottem we're shot no longer ago than
yesterday morning and that Arsene
Cheyry, the poet, was among the victims.
Minister Oarterou no longer conceals
the fact that he has armed the legation
In anticipation Of an attack. He looks
for q government attempt to take the
refugees by force.
There is strong suspicion that Cen
eral Ooicou, chief Of the Port All Prince
military District Is stirring up the people
to attack the whites. He is openly
accused of responsibility for a similar
plot which no one now doubts would
have been carried out but for the oppor-
tune arrival of foreign wsrships.
Marines are held In readiness for
immediate landings from the United
States cruiser DesMoines and the German
cruiser Bremen, which, with the United
States gunbost Marietta, are still In the
hsrbor. The. French cruiser D'Estres
is hurting from st. Thomas where it
took party of political refugees.

Cost of Maintaining Royalty,

Berlin, April 2.-V'gorous opposition
is already developing 10 the bill soon TO
be introduced In the Prussian Diet To-
creasing the kaiser's civil list to cover
the increased cost of living and provide
for his growing family. Leaders of the
liberal parties argue not only that his
majesty's present allowance Of So, $780,
900 annually as King of Prussia is
sufficient, but that the empire ought to
do something for him as kaiser instead
of throwing the entire burden on a sim
gle state. There will he q strong pro-
test, toe, against provision for separate
establishments for the royal children,
who, as they marry and set up for them
selves, are becoming a heavier and
heavier burden. The universal man
hood sufrsgists will have their innings,
too, and there is likely to be some very
outsp 1ken discussion Of the scale on
which European royalties generally live
at the expense of their subjects. There
seems a strong probability tina! the ad-
dilional allowances will be refused, at
leas. unless important concessions are
granted in return.

Alexandra. Va.


Dear Sir: Clear pine aud pine full Of knots
are two different things; they are both called
pine.
Clear paint and paint sdulterated with
whiting, china clay, ground stone, barytes,
beuzine and water, are different things; they
are both called paint"
II takes less labor to work clear pine than
pine knots, and costs less money.
1t takes less labor 10 paint clear pint than
half whiting or half china olay or half ground
stone or half barytes. These mixtures make
more gallons not more paint. There's no
more milk in two quarts Of milk-and-water
than 10 one quart Of milk. II you paint two
gallons for one you pay double for labor; and
labor costs more than paint.
You know how il is with clear lumber and
knots, It's the same Y h IL paint snd half
paint.
4 days work ia gallon Of paint or half
paint.
Apply it to business. Suppose you have
two houses, same size: paint one Devoe, the
other the other prominent paint in your
town.
1t takes 10 gallons Devoe, 81, rs a gallon,
sl7 80 for paint; s. gallon for labor, $50 for
labor: whole job, $3.50.
II takes 10 gallons Of that other paint, same
price, 1926 for paint 50 gallon for labor
SO for labor; whole job s7l25
And which wears best, clear pine or pine
Knots, cevoe wears better than that weak
paint.
What warrant is there for saying that paint
is weak; Ii takes more gallons.
Yours truly,
