himself up and when the woman re-
turned with the message the men heard
a shot. When they broke down the
door they found Weeden lying on the

maments since the first Fague con-
ference but neither in Germany nor
elsewhere has a practical plan been
proposed. Great Britain wishes a
limitation of ornaments but sinful
taneously wants superior or equal
fleet. ANY conference on the sub
ject is bound to be fruitless"
He accepted the idea OF the arbi-
tratiOn principle, but universal arbi-
tratiOn he said was as impossible of
accomplishment as universal disarma-
ments. Two nations like the United
States. and Great Britain could seal
de facto statutes. but if new ques-
tiOns would arise for which arbi-
tration might prove Inadequate.
Count Won Kanitz, conservative. de-
voted the greater part of his speech

speech of Commander William s
Sine of the American navy. at Guild
Hall, London, which called forth "a
reprimand from the president. with
utterances Of Congressman Champ
Clark. concerning the annexation of
Canada, saying: While an American
naval officer is assuring England of

talking of the absorption of Canada"

To Suppress Bucket Shops
in District Of Columbia
WORK TOO WELL DONE
In It's Legislating Congress
Went So Far as to Inter
fere With the Contract
( Relation-A Decision by
District Supreme Court.

Washington. Mar S0.-The attempt
of congress so closely to define the
offense Of Understanding" as to
make it impracticable in the District
IF Columbia, has resulted in the com
pIete failure of the legislation on the
ground of unconsututiOnality.
Justice Wright in the district SUI
preme court today decided that the
act referred to, constituted an un-
warrantable interference with the
right of the citizen to enter into a
contract relation and therefore was
unconstitutional
The particular point of objection
was that person giving an order to
broker for a stock transaction,
without the intent of dealing in mar
gins. might be held to violate the law.
if the broker without the knowledge
of the client, secretly made the
transaction one Of margin without the
actual basis Of transfer of stock
The statute is of local application
only and does not necessarily af-
feet the actions which the depart
ment of justice has begun at many
other points against alleged bucket
shops operators for the prosecution
in those cases has been under the
postal laws on the plain ground Of
fraud.

Advises Minority Mem
bers to Assist Insurgents
in Election of Conserva-
tive Democratic Senator.

Albany, March 3O.-The insurgent
democratic members of the Legislature
will have it in their power tomorrow
to break the senatorial deadlock either
by settling their differences with the
party organization or accepting aid

William Barnes, Jr., chairman IF the
republican state committee, tonight
made public a letter advising the
republican legislators to give the
democratic independent members an
opportunity To fill New Yorks vacancy
by rendering its unanimous support
to a conservative democrat. The
name of the next senator from New
York apparently depends upon which
course the Independent democrats
choose to follow.
Tomorrow at 10 a. m. the democrats
will caucus behind closed doors. Be
fore the Barnes letter appeared il
was expected that fifteen insurgents
would enter this meeting on condition
that the names OF neither William +.

the revelations of Abbattemeggio to-

the maintenance of order among those
affiliated with the Camorra. His
power and influence is greater than
those OF the police and he is ex-
pected to denounce those who COM
NIT disorders, and thus compromise

ter the murder Of Cuoccolo when in
company with Giovanni Rapi, the al
legged treasurer of the Camorra, he
met the priest. Vitozzi. who sug-
gested TO ErricOne, so that he might
not be suspected. to go frequently to
the Amour Cafe in order to give the
police the impression that he was a
frequenter Of the place. In this inn
the report of the murder of Cuoccolo
is alleged to have been communi-
Gated to Erricone.
Vitozzi, hearing this statement by
the witness. raised his hands and
eyes with Mortified expression, and
exclaimed: IF 1 had ever suspected
that Erricone was stained with such
a monstrous crime | would have de-
livered himself to justice saying to
him, Bear that burden of yours. ="
The tone of his voice was so melo-
dramatic that all burst into laughter.

than the others.

WANTS ARE "PULLERS"

Psychologists reason that the
pulling power" of an advertise
ment depends a great deal upon
the mental attitude of the read
ers. For example, if a reader
who is in want of a rifle looks
through the paper and finds an
advertisement of rifles, that adj
vertisement will at once receive
attention.
One reason why Want Ads
have such remarkable pulling
powers is the fact that the mem
tai attitude of a large percentage
of Want Ad readers is favorably
inclined towards some particu-
lar classification of the Wants
Many Want AID readers are
looking for definite information
that is conveniently grouped I'M
der some of the various headlines
of the Want Columns. The
mental attitude of Want readers
is favorably inclined-they are in
many cases in search of particu-
lar information.
Republican want ads are Won
derfully resultful-and they cost
