ENGINEERS SCORED FOR MISMANAGEMENT
OFFICIALS TO BE PUNISHED FOR WRETCHED WORK IN RE- BUILDING KE-DEvAsTATED MESSINA.

Rome, Jan. 1s.-For the ruinous mis- management of the work of rehabili- tating quake-devastateds Messina, the government has practically decided to hold the Genio Cfvile or department of civil engineering, responsible. AS a result this department is to be severe ly shaken up and several of it's off cers are likely to be punished.
 The general opinion is that the bu- reaucratic form of the entire govern ment ought to be held rather than the Genio Civile alone. Everyone is agreed however that never before was body of men guilty of worse incom- potency than the engineers who under took the work of rebuilding Messina
 Just what Premier Sonnio, who vis- ited Messina and Reggie early this month, reported to the government, is unknown. Inasmuch as reports concerning severe measures to be talk en with the engineers followed so closely on his return to Rome, it is certain that his recommendations bore with especial harshness against this department.
 At Reggie much progress has been made in clearing the principal streets although the rebuilding of the town has hardly been touched The Amer the face of endless difficulties, was turned over to the municipality in July All who saw it pronounced it a credit to the architects and to the American navy. It surrounded a fine square in which trees had been pur- posely left and it possessed a large church, an infirmary and hotel with accommodations for 200 guests. The Genio Civiie promptly dug a deep ditch across the front of the church cut down the trees and have to this day prevented the opening of the ho- tel and infirmary

 MAN OF COMMITTEE TO PRESS
 DEMANDS FOR INCREASED
 WAGES AND REVISION OF
 WORKING AGREEMENT.
 New Haven, Jan. 19.--A new feature of the fight that is now on between the boards of adjustment of the Or der of Railroad Conductors, the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen and the New Haven railroad for increased wages and a general revision of the working agreement, came out as a result of the first days meetings of the two labor bodies here.
 It was clearly stated that while these two bodies may go before Gen. eral Manager Higgins on Thursday, according to the labor schedule as ap- plying to all of the railroads east of the Mississippi river at this time, there was every indication that the matter might be continued until lat er"
 That is to say although the con- ductors and trainnen through their adjustment boards, eleven members, will confront MT. Higgins on Thursday there is nothing to indicate that there will not be a postponement on the part of the road, until it has fully sensed the situation. And consequent ly- this labor difficulty may take some weeks in settlement.
 There is no doubt that the trainmen are determined on fight to a finish They are following the lead of Grand Vice President Murdock who has charge Of the eastern district in this matter, and will be open to his in- structions implicitly.
 The members of the O. R. c. have elected a committee to call on General Manager Higgins as follows: Jeremiah Wall of New Haven, chair man; George J. William, vice chair man and l.. c. Boudreau, secretary.
 The conductors will meet again to- day and take up the matters of per- sonal grievances.
 The Trainmen met and chose John L. Rowe of Bridgeport, chairman and M. F. OHara of Pawtucket, R. d., as secretary. This committee will also take up personal grievances today.

 New York, Jan. 19-New York so- ciety people have not succeeded in catching their breaths yet following the announcement that Marjorie Gould, daughter of George Jay Gould and the bright particular prize in the natri- moniai market, has bestowed her young affections on Anthony J. Drexel, Jr., of Philadelphia, better known by his intimates as Tony" There is weeping and wailipg all over Europe following the flashing of the news over there. The Analgamated Society of Paper Noblen1en and Fortune Hunters, who had marked the Gould fortune for its own, adopted resolutions of despair and ordered the charter draped for 60 days. It was too much. Had not even a prince offered his hand and his debts to the young American and she rejected the offer to wear a crown, albeit it was a tinsel one. to marry a commoner. The marriage of Miss Gould and young Drexel will link two princely fortunes
 No one doubts that Marjorie will get a large section of the Gould fortune, as the Gould boys are being trained to care for themselves and the Drexel fortune is proverbially big.
 In real society the Drexels are dis tinctly leaders. Anthony J. Drexel, Jr. and his family overshadowed Pflil- adelphias "40V' four years and recent ly they, with the exception of An thony. Jr., have lived in Grosvenor Square. London, and have been enter tlained by the King Of England and the Emperor of Germany.
 Miss Gould has been in society 8 year. Ever since her coming out party at the Hotel Plaza rumors of her en- gagement have been rife. On October g she was reported engaged to. the Grand Duke Alexandroyitch of Rus sia. a cousin of the Czar. This was denied, and then she was reported as having accepted an offer from the Duke of Alba, a granddaughter of the Empress Eugenie. When this romance vas punctured the announcement was made in Society that Prince George Romanoffski, better known as Duke George of Leiuchenberg, was engaged to her. Then came reports that she was to marry in British court society, but none of these stories were well founded is shown by her father and mothers announcement of her engage nlent to Drexel.
