ADMITS ABRUzz| WILL.
MARRY DAUGHTER
OF ELKlhIS
Rome's Official Journal Says
King VIII Give Senator
Title of Nobility.
MAY PERFORM CEREMONY
IN THIS COUNTRY

New York, March 25.-According
to a copyrighted caOle from Rome to
the World, the official journal today
for the first time admits that the
duke of Abruzzi, cousin of the king,
and Miss Katherine Elkins are en-
gagged.
1t says that the king might have
preferred a more elevated marriage,
but that he offers no opposition to it.
Senator Elkins will be ennobled
and the duke will be promoted to vice
admiral. with his residence in the
royal palace in Venice.
Miss Elkns probably will become a
Catholic. Cardinal Gibbons will per-
form the ceremony. Two months
notice is necessary in the case of
royal marriage, but the king has pow
er to dispense with this formality.
The Italian public is against the
match.
The duke probably will return to
Rome before the ceremony.
1t is reported that at the special re-
quest of the Italian king, the pope
has granted a special dispensation for
the marriage.
While, however, in America such
dispensations are generally given fee
of charge, here they are very costly,
and it is reckoned that the duke will
have 10 pay at least $1,000 in fees
for his privilege.
Obtaining a dispensation at the
Vatican does not necessarily imply
that the marriage will take place
here. as the duke now can be married
I'm any diocese of the world.
The rule Of the church, however,
is that the brides parish shall be the
proper place for the marriage cere-
mony and because of this it is very
probable that the marriage will take
place I'm the United states

RAILROADS STOCKING UP

Many thousand Tons of Coal Are
Being stopped by All Railways.

Chicago, March 25--Whlle the
bituminous coal miners are talking
about a strike, the railroad compa-
nies are laying in hundreds and
thousands of tons of coal.
The Illinois Central alone is heap

something like $250,000.
Multiply this heap of coal and this
heap of dollars by the wise railroad
companies of the country and 1t af-
fords some idea of the gravity with
which the railroad officials view the
demands of the coal miners.

said Division Supt, Battisfore of the
Illinois Central I'VE are loading

This is why there are now 10000

INDICATIONS POINT TO
STRONGER FLOW

Well DrIllers Near Las Vegas
Expect to Get Gas. oil or
ArteSidn Water,
GAS WAS FOUND
SEVERAL YEARS AGO

Las Vegas, y. NJ, March 25.-The
we'll in which gas and oil were dis
covered by drillers on the Mcmillan
farm. six miles from Las Vegas, Will
be drilled deeper in the hope of find
ing greater quantities of gas, oil or
artesian water The gas and oil were
found at a depth of IS feet and while
neither exists in any quantity it is
thought a stronger flow will be found
with depth.
With the aid of mirror the water
could be plainly seen deep down in
the hole. 1t was in a constant state
OF agitation. bubbling fiercely as the
gas forced its way through. Several
more tests were made and it was
shown without doubt that a consider
able amount of gas was accumulat-
ing in the well.
Water from the well was poured
out around the derrick and stood in
pools. Each was covered with film
Of oil which was plainly discernible.
The water itself is at present unfit
for use on account Of the odor ant
taste of gas and oil.
Mr.. Mcmillan will have the well
sunk considerably deeper in the hope
OF striking either gas or oil or "A bet
ter supply of water, for what they
now have is unfit for use.
Several years ago the men engaged
I'm putting down the well at the New
Mexico insane hospital two miles
north Of this city, struck a small vein
Of gas which burned with great vigor
for three days. 1t created great eX-
element at the time and hundreds Of
people flocked TO the scene. The
board Of directors of the institution
even visited it in an official capacity
in order 10 report to the governor
concerning the phenomenon. Finally
the flow ceased entirely.
There are strong possibilities Of
large veins Of gas and oil under Las
Vegas, and many are of the opinion
that artesian water can be struck at
depth

Young Blake, in his confession, said
he had been drinking with Reynolds

home and entered the kitchen, where
his mother was cooking dinner. Ac-
cordng to the confession Reynolds
was standing guard outside.
Blake says his mother accused him
of having been drinking, whereupon
he went into another room. got a
hammer, crept up behind and struck
her on the back of the head. She
fell unconscious. He says he then
seized a bag she had fastened around
her neck which contained money and
jewelry.
While he was upstairs changing
his clothes he heard a scream. He
returned to the kitchen and found
Reynolds standing over the mothers
body, hammer in hand. He says Rey-
nolds. admitted striking her when
she moved.
The two men then came to Fort
Wayne. spent the night In carousing
and were arrested as they were
about to board a train for Michigan.

For Postal Savings.

In considering financial legislation
the president discussed at length the
proposition for posta, savings bank
system and urged the adoption Of n
law which would permit the eSta3'
lishment of such a system by which
the people Of the country would be
encouraged to save money and put in
circulation where it would do effec.
tive work
He said that the time for the re-
vision of the tariff has come and
suggested that provision be made by
this Congress to collect sufficient ma
terial for such revision which could
be laid before the next Congress for
action.
He urged especially i'm this connec-
tion that wood pulp 5e placed on the
free list and reduction be made on
paper manufactured from wood pulp.
He also called the attention of Com
gress TO the undeyeloped rivers and
lakes Of the country and urged espe-
cially that a permanent waterways

this law may involve all labor organ
izations and farmers organizations as
we'll as business organizations which
are in conflict with the law. A bill
has been presented in Congress to
remedy this situation and some such
measure as this bill is needed in the
interest of all those engaged in those
industries which are essential TO the
countrys well being.
Antitrust Law Changes.
The president does not say wat
the exact terms of the law shall be
but suggests the following changes in
the existing law.
"The substantive part of the anti
trust law should remain as it is at
present-that is, every contract in re-
straint of trade should continue IL
legal--and some government author
|. ity should be allowed to pass on these
contracts Publicity should also be
provided for.
Labor organizations, farmers or
ganizations and other organizations
not organized for profits should be
allowed to register by giving the loca-
ton of the head office, the charter,
bylaws and the names and addresses
of the principal officers.
In the interest of all organizations
the provision permitting the recovery
of three-fold damages should be abol-
ished and the right to recover only for
| the damages sustained should be sub
stituted. The law, however, should
not affect pending suits.
"It is important to encourage trade
agreements between the employer and
the employe where they are just an6
! fair.
The strike is a clumsy weapon and
we should extend as far as possible
! arbitration. Moreover, violence, Co
ercion and disorder when committed

SHELLS PERSIST IN
HITTING BUlL'S-EYE
Party of Los Angeles Men Return
After Witnessing War Play Of
BdttleShipS and TellAbout
Navy's Ability to Use
Guns Effectively.

Los Angeles. Cal, March 25.-En-
thusiastic jackies are sitting up
nights down in Magdalena bay in or
der to annoy canvas targets with IL
lumiated shells and big battleships,
guided by dazzling searchlights. are
racing across the ranges In order to
humor Admiral Evans crack shell
tossers in their amusement.
1t is an impressive scene which
will remain with a land lubber for a
lifetime, according to Los Angeles
men who returned today from a trip
to the scene of action on the gunboat
Nellie. The local craft was allowed
to skim about among the giant war
craft and to edge up TO the firing
line. The spectators aboard drank in
enough strange and delightful sights
while there to afford entertainment
for relatives and friends through
out the summer. They saw the float
ing steel fortresses make a formation
and heard the back of the greatest
guns of the navy.
The Night the Best Time.
1T was the sight of a lifetime to
see the show" said G., c. Keeney to-
| day, removing some cotton from
his ear to make the interview smooth
| sailing However, the night Is the
time to witness the great doings.
| Tracer shells were used, and we
could see them from the time they
were hurled from the mouth OF the
guns, across the range like balls OF
hre, to smash through the targets
land then hurtle into the air.
ut was sight to see the big IL
Illuminated chunks OF steel strike the
water and then leap from zoo to 500
feet high. Shooting across the sur
face at such a low pitch one would
expect them to skip, but they took
only one big jump and one or two
feeble hops thereafter. Sometimes
they turned at right angles for the
big leap.
One of the most impressive things
outside Of tbs fact that the shells
persisted In knocking out the little,
black bulls eye was the report of
the 12-inch guns. 1t began with a
rumble and changed in volume and
tone for all the world like a train
running over a bridge and through
a canyon. 1t was pretty good music
for civilians ear. There are little
hills around Magdalena bay a thous-
and feet high and these fling back
the roaring across the body OF placid
water.
Vessels Travel I'm Threes.
THE battleships hunt in threes.
The craft, primed for war, steams
across the course with searchlights
on the bunch of four connected tar
gets, and the broadside guns bark all
the way across Each gun used is
supposed to shoot up all four of the
targets, and the way those blues
punch the disk and never miss the
target bodies is a marvel.
after each scoot across, the
fighting ships turn and run close to
the targets, using the searchlights
to make "a record Of the shots Then
the repair launch runs in and
patches up the ragged canvas.
} "In the daytime the effect is en-
tirely different. one sees little smoke
and cannot see the shells travel save
after they strike. A man with sharp
eyes can catch a thread of the l2-
inch lead but that is all"
