IN GUISE OF COUNT, MAN
OBTAINS EXPENSIVE MEAL
Former French Convict Swindles Pro-
pretor of Luxurious Restaurant
by Clever Trick

PARIS, May S.-A man named Daval'
who has been released only lately from
prison, obtained an expensive dinner,
with wines and all else of the most ex-
pensive description, by an ingenious
and amusing trick.
Calling a cab, he told the driver that
he was the Count d'Abbevile, and that
he had bet friend a large sum of
money that, dressed in a tramp's rags,
he would enjoy a dinner at one of the
most exclusive hotels. If the cabman
would arrange the matter for him with
the manager of the hotel the count
would pay him handsomely.
The cabman, driving up to luxuri-
Gus restaurant, took the manager aside
and whispered the information that his
disreputable looking fare" was really
a count in disguise, and then related
the story of the bet. The manager at
once fell into trap, and the former
prisoner was served with an excellent
dinner, with many wines.
The meal over, the man declared
that he was no count, and that he had
no money A little later he was led
from the restaurant, smoking a 60
cent cigar, by policeman.

COURT ASKED TO DEFINE
INTERSTATE SHIPMENTS
Jury Waived in Alleged Violation of
Safety Appliance Act by North
western Pacific

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-The ques-
ton of what constitutes interstate
shipments within the meaning OF the
safety appliance act" came up in the
United States district court today IN
the case of the government against the
Northwestern Pacific Railway COM
pany for alleged violation of the act.
A jury was waived and it was agreed
to submit the case by briefs for Judge
DeHaven's Interpretation of the law.
The indictment against the railroad
was based upon the lack of required
safety appliances on cars in which
shipment was made from an Oregon
point to Duncan Mills
1t is contended by the railroad com
pany that the law regarding interstate
traffic does not apply to this shipment
because it was transshipped from cars
which brought it across the Oregon
line and which admittedly were prop
erly equipped, into the defective cars in
California.
Assistant United States Attorney
Black will argue that a through way
bill was made out from the Oregon
point to Duncan Mills and that this
made it an interstate shipment within
the contemplation of the law.

close of her first term at a school where
she is one of the most popular and
brilliant students, an accident befalls
her brother. She hravely gives up

MAY EXEMPT SPAS FROM
GAMING LAWS IN BELGIUM
Said That Watering Places Cannot
Operate Without Public
Play

BRUSSELS, May S.-The question of
gambling in Belgium is being much
discussed, and it is wondered how cit
les like Ostend and Spa will be able to
keep up their expenses if the managers
of the gambling circles are constantly
condemned for exploitation of gam
bling, as has been the case recently.
1t is now proposed to introduce bill
in the chamber of deputies which asks
that in every town which is known as
q .'watering place" the gambling law
shall not be enforced as strictly as it
is now, and provides an exceptional
regime for these cities. Towns will
only be entered in the list of watering
places" on the demand of the govern
ment and with the royal sanction. The
bill will be discussed this session.

ENGLISH FIRM TO BUILD
NEW NAVY FOR SPANIARDS
Work VIII Occupy Five Years and
Contract Price Amounts to Thirty
five Million Dollars

LONDON, May S.-The contract for
the building of the new Spanish navy
has been given by the Spanish govern
ment to Messrs. Vickers Sons & Maxim
and will be carried out by a Spanish
company, of which the British firm are
members. The work will occupy at
least five years, and the contract price
amounts in round figures to $35,O00,000.
Mr.. Vickers in an interview said that
although the contract would be carried
out in Spain, it would result in good
deal of capital coming into England,
as the workmen would be largely re-
cruited from the home works. while
much of the material to be used in the
construction of the ships would be
manufactured at the various provincial
works of his firm.
Much preliminary work, added Mr.
Vickers, has to be done in preparing
the yards and work before the actual
building begins. That preliminary work
will be started at once.
