ATWOOD ON HIS WAY
Aviator Expected to Leave At
Iantic City for Washington
at 3 O'Clock.

Harry II. Atwood, the Boston aviator
will leave Atlantic City for Washington
in his biplane this afternoon. At IA
o'clock this afternoon Granville n. Hunt
of the Chamber of Commerce received a
telegram from Atwood containing this
information. The message is as follows
Expect to start from Atlantic City at
3 pm. Will make one stop at Baltimore
at $50. Will wire from Baltimore start
ing time. c. K. Hamilton flies with me. .
Message Surprise.
Atwood's message was a surprise as
the storm which swept over Washington
shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon
made 1t seem practically impossible that
the aviator would attempt the flight to-
day.
The fact that Atwood is to carry a pas
senger will make the trip a more hazard
Gus one and will give it more Importance
In the history of aerial navigation.
Atwood will land on the polo field In
Potomac Park. 1t is expected that he
will put in his appearance somewhere be-
tween $50 and o'clock.
Whistles to Give Notice.
AS soon as the aviator has been sighted
factories in Washington will be notified
and steam whistles will sound his ap-
proach. flag also will be run up on
the Evans building. These arrangements
have been made by the Chamber Of Com
merce in order to enable everyone to see
the conclusion of the history-making
fight.
officials of the chamber this afternoon
will notify Gen. Wood, officers Of the
Signal Corps of the army and other gov
ernment officials of the time that Atwood
Is expected to land.

LOCAL ITALIANS MAY GO ID WAR

The Italian colony of Birmin ghan, while deeply interested in the conflict between their mother country and Fur key, are not attaching undue import ance to it. The outbreak of the war was a complete surprise to many Ital- ians of long residence in this city, as all they knew about the trouble was what they learned from the local pa : pers All are of the opinion that the war will be of short duration and that Italy will be the victor.
 In the event that the war is pro- longed or should the necessity require. many of the younger Italians will re- turn to Italy to bear arms in defensa of their native land. In fact, many of them have offered their services al ready in this connection. S. Guarino, the editor of El Libero Pensiere, an influential Italian newspaper. stated that not only were the Italians offer. ing their services, but that over 50 Greeks had also volunteered to fight against the Turks The prevailing opinion among the Italians is that the war will be speed ily terminated and with little blood- shed.

HORATIO WILL REPEAL ,"

stated that Horatio had provoked the diff ficulty by striking her on the right cheek
 Did you obey the biblical injunction and turn the other cheek?' queried Judge Black.
 "Jedge ah knows muffin bout no bib'caI junction, ah never had hit
 T mean when he smote you on the right check"
 "Smote muffin, jedge, dat nigger hit me CT lick wid his fist" answered the cop Fer colorsd goddess. "He slapped me So hard Siat fire jumped outen ma eyes,"
 Stand aside.''
 Horatio took the stand and in his tes- tinony acknowledged the possession of the picture, but stated that it belonged to friend of his.
 Hits like dis, jedge, dat is pictur' of the sister of cousin O mine, who has jest granulated as a trained nuss, an in course he'd her pictur' took an gin ne one Of 'em."
 "So the picture was the 'casus bellr of the fight: in other words, it brought about the diffioulty?'
 "Dere warn't no difficulty startin' de scrap, arter dat ooman diskivered de pie tur', jedge, de diff culty was ter stop it."
 Well, how did it begin?'
 "Ah was sittin down eatin' ma supper, when Minerva 'scused me about de pie tur' An 'splained dat ah didn't know de gal, but she was so unreasonable dat she said ah was lyin, and let inter me wifi her hands, feet an teef. Hit was when she chawed ma arm dat ah hit her, iedge. An jest naturally had hit ter do."
 The arresting officer testified that when he arrived on the scene the belligerents had already declared war and were en- gagged in a lively TO hold barred tussle, witl the gentle Minerva believing with the full strength of her lusty lungs.
 At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Black dipped his pen in the ink we'll and thus addressed the defendant:
 'Horaic, you may not be aware of the adage that Hell hath no fury like woman scorned' The wrongful possession of the picture of another woman has brought about thousands of disagreements in fam fly circles.
 While I am not a married man myself, think I am qualified to give you this advice: Never carry about your person the picture of another woman, for wives as rule possess a sixth sense in such cases that invariably lead to discovery. The nearest approach to immunity is to hire a safety deposit box, place in it the picture, then throw away the key.
 No, Horatio, don't make any charge for this advice, but in view of the fact that there is no telling what the fu- ture holds for me, I will let you down light you are fined $5.'
 And would you believe it, notwithstand- ing this excellent and eloquent "speel," the ungrateful Horatio served notice of Ire peal"
