German military experts and other Ger

teal on this point. but they are none the
less convinced that air ships. even in their
present form. will be able to render many
valuable services in case Of war.
The military authorities are also taking
measures TO protect themselves from the

BLUNDER BY POLICEMAN.
BIuecOat Makes Error Despite Les

Berlin. Feb. 29.-The lessons OF Kop-
enick have not gone unheeded. A passer-
by went up TO a policeman on duty in the
Berlin suburb Of Halensee and, in an awe
some whisper. drew his attention to the
fact. real or alleged. that an elderly gen
tleman who was at the moment crossing
the street was wearing a generals uni
form that was not strictly IN accordance
with the regulations.
Remembering how the spurious captain
had Kidnapped mayor and confiscated a
municipal treasury. thereby convulsing
the world with laughter. and not stopping
20 reflect on the frightful consequences
that might ensue from the actions of Il
sham general. the constable rushed up to
the suspect and. in gruff and peremptory
tones, demanded his name address, and
proofs of identity.
"Ah," replied the individual so accosted,
In bland and amused accents, you evil

BARON AND GENERAL IN DUEL

The Latter Is wounded After
Long and Fierce Conflict.
Rome. Feb. "a lengthy duel took
place AT Reggie this week between Gen.
Giorgio Bompiani and Baron Vincenzo
Negri. The duel was fought with swords.
under very severe conditions. At the first
meeting Of the seconds II was decided 70
use pistols. and Rome was chosen as the
scene OF the encounter The mother OF
Baron Negri, however, learning about
the intended combat. repaired to Rome
and prevailed on certain friends 10 find
some means Of preventing the duel The
public authorities were also informed Of
the affair, and a sharp lookout was kept
for the intending duelists.
In order TO mislead the police the sec
onds arranged that the duel should be
fought in the neighborhood Of Reggie di
Calabria. and il took place. IN fact. close
to the village Of san GregoriO, with
swords no stroke being excluded. There
were FIVE assaults. In the fourth Baron
Negri wounded his adversary in the ab-
domen. Gen. BOmpiani tried to resume
the combat. but his strength failed. and
he fell senseless TO the ground. The wound
was long and very deep. Baron Negri
had only few superficial scratches.
The duel was due to delicate personal
motives into which there is no occasion
10 inquire. Here in Rome. where both
OF the COmbatants are well known. a tTe-
mendOus sensation has been caused by
the affair. Gen. BOmpiani was highly es-
teemed in military circles.

DrAW wagons Along Frontier Line
Between France and Belgium.
Paris. Feb. "a party of gypsies. en-
camped exactly on the border line be-
tween France and Belgium. have kept
frontier guards of the two countries en-
pioyed in watching it for the last four
months.
The caravan was expelled from the VIII
lege OF 'Aubange last October. and Bel
gian gendarmes escorted II toward Mont
ST. Martin. in France. At the frontier
French gendarmes were waiting to stop
the gypsies' inroad into their country, and
the unfortunate wanderers were thus
brought to ar impasse.
The gypsy chief solved the difficulty by
having all his vans drawn up across the
imaginary border line. so that a half OF
each vehicle was IN Belgium AMI half in
France lie then had the horses unhItch-
cd. and made preparations for a long en-
campnent.
The perplexed gendarmes On either side
the border could do nothing but watch,
and as the gypsies evidently intended
making a prolonged stay. wooden huts
had to be erected for the gendarmes by
the governments of their respective coun-
tries.
There they have remained ever since
and the authorities are wondering how
they shall get the ingenious gypsies of
the border line. so that they can be dealt
with by the French or the Belgian gen
darmes.

ANNNNNNNNNNN :

When Shaw finished his address,
he submitted to questions from the
audience. These were slow in COM
ing at first, but soon there was
bombardment.
Somebody wanted to know how
the securities stood, and Mr.. Shaw
said that the bank could lose $780,
900 more and still break even. This
was, of course, on the proposition OF
the stock market going up. They
wanted to know where the advantage
lay in appointing Mackenzie a re-
ceiver. without bonds, and having a
receiver appointed who would give
bonds and be answerable to the
court. To this Shaw replied that
Mr.. Mackenzie was not going into
the bank as a receiver. He would be
made president, and would appoint
as directors local men in the town
where each agency exists. Ultimate
ly, the chain of banks would be
broken. and they would all become
separate national institutions, with
the exception, perhaps, of the Man
haitian and Blair branches, which
would probably be discontinued. As
far as Mackenzie putting up bonds
was he not going to put up $150,00C
in securities in the John S. Cool
bank at Goldfield?
"Is there anything to stop Mac
kenzie from dominating the banks
as Hickey did?" was asked. Is ther,
anything to prevent him from sell
ing all the securities in the first 81
days?"
"Do you mean is there anything
to stop Mackenzie from turning pir

There were present at the meet
ing about two hundred depositors,
and Chairman Shaw OF the Rehabili-
tation Committee explained that Sam
Platt. United States District Attor-
ney. and Cashier Davis OF the State
Bank and Trust Company, were alb
sent for the reason that there had
been a break down OF the automobile
which brought the party from Cold
field The mishap occurred about
four miles out OF town, and Mr.. Shaw
hiked the rest or the way into town.
Mr. Shaw explained that Hickey
was in no wise connected with the
present movement. which had for its
purpose the signing Of an agreement
by the depositors, which would give
the control to Donald Mackenzie,
who was the only one OF the deposi-
tors who had been found willing to
undertake the reorganization OF the
affairs OF the bank, by putting up
the guarantee that the promises of
Hickey would be carried out.
Personally, have no use for
President Hickey" said Mr.. Shaw
