ABRUZZI-ELKINS MATCH.
Reported Plans for a Wedding Early
in October.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Globes Rome
correspondent today says that the doubts
recently expressed in American dispatches
regarding the Abruzzi-Elkin marriage

friends of the duke. This statement, 1t is
said. may be regarded as authoritative.
According to the statement, the duke
will leave the battleship Regina Elena, of
which he is now in command. at Gaeta,
on September 30. The marriage will take
place at Turin early in October, and i'm
mediately after the ceremony the pair will
proceed to the town of Rocconigi. on the
Maria river twenty miles south Of Turin,
where they will be the guests of the King
and Queen of Italy at the royal chateau
for some time.
Later they will go to Vienna. The duke
will be granted six months leave of alb
sence for his honeymoon, and a part of
this time will be spent in the United
States. The duke will not visit Washing
ton again before his marriage
The duke is to be promoted to be a rear
admiral previous to the grant of leave of

the understanding was reached then be-
tween Judge Taft and the Speaker that
there was to be no fight on the latter s
part against the selection of Hitchcock
as chairman
With the exception Of Frank B. Kellogg
OF Minnesota, who came here with Judge
Taft, Powell Clayton, national commit
teeman from Arkansas, is the first of the
eight members of the subcommittee to
get In. The other members Of the COM
mittee will arrive today. They are Will
liam l.. Ward of New York. Senator VIII
liam e. Borah of Idaho. Charles Nagel
OF Missouri. Frank G. Lowden of Illinois,
Myron T. Herrick of Ohio and Duncan
or North Carolina. The subcommittee will
not have much to do In the way of con-
siderfng chairman unless, of course
some unexpected opposition to Hitchcock
snould develop. Senator Hemenway has
peen mentioned as James s. Sherman 8
choice for chairman, but he is regarded
as an impossibility.
Survivors of the Ball Game.
If Senator Murray Crane of Massachu-
setts were around here today he would
either have to hide or submit to being
'cussed" out. 1t is the sincere hope of
members of the Steam Roller base ball
team that If he ever comes here again
when they are around he will leave his
base ball craze at home. They served
notice this morning that they would not
engage in another muscle-cracking stunt
again, even to please Senator Crane.
Those Steam Rollers were a good looking
lot this morning for men who have victory
perched on their banner. Representative
Burton limped into the dining room and
settled down in the chair by degrees.
Bring me a cup OF witch hazel and two
hot"
"Ah begs yoh pahdon.'' said the waiter
"Oh, yes" sighed the congressman,
winching. what was l thinking of?'
The representative explained this morn
ing that yesterday was the first time in
forty years that he had had base ball in
his hands, and he wanted to assure a
waiting world. including Senator Crane
that it would be fully forty years before
he tried 1T again.
Among others who are feeling in more
or less degree as Representative Burton
does are Representative James T. Burke
of 'Pittsburg, Trust Buster Frank B.
Kellogg of Minnesota and Representative
Mckinley. Mr.. Burke and Mr.. Kellogg
decided the best way to work out the
kinks was to tackle Candidate Taft on
the golf links, and so they are at it..

WELL"
What the Controller Decides.

The persons mentioned in your first and
third questions are not printers, in my
judgment, in the sense in which the word
is used by Congress. providing that no
more than 80 cents per hour can be paid
them, and you are authorized in your dis
cretion to pay them greater wages than
80 cents per hour for the class of work
inquired about.
Relative to your second question, the
word printer" as used in the statutes
above set out, was evidently intended by
Congress to mean a person who sets type
out of a case into a stick, or composes
job, and such are known to the craft as
compositors. A person who thus sets
type on job work is a printer and COM
positor and, in my judgment. you are
not authorized to pay him more than 30
cents per hour for time employed in COM
position, because as an incident to said
composition he imposes the same. But
you would be authorized to pay him, In
your discretion, more than 80 cents per
hour for the time you may use him In
imposing his own or other composition.
