ROME, March 2.-Public interest
from one end of Italy to the other
has been excited to an extraordinary
degree in the question whether the
virtually lnestimably valuable art
collection of the late Prince Mar
cantonlo Colonna, the head of the
historic house, Is to be kept intact
or sold by the four members Of the
family to whom it has been be-
queathed.

shares of the collection to their re.
spective residences, it is, Of course,
lost to all except intim~tes of the
owners, and that this should happen

The palace itself is one of the most

hideousness, but inside gorgeous in
the extreme. It was left to his
brother, as the bearer Of his name
of Colonna, Prince Marcantonio leav-

Am institution that is having q wide
and beneficial effect upon the prog
ress of the city of Bismarck and which
U.s. today doing more to build up the
city, is the Bismarck Building and
Loan association. This institution,
established a number of years ago for
tine express purpose Of helping the
small saver establish a home for him.
self, has so far in its career helped to
build over forty new buildings in Bis
marck. and has contributed much to
the home owning sentiment of the
people. Organized primarily to help
the man of small means who desires
to establish and pay for a home, the
association has gone steadily forward
land today is in flourishing condition.
II has ready enough money to make
at least a dozen more small loans to
the stockholders or members Of the
association.
The official life of the organization
receives nothing for Its services. The
expense OF management is carried on
by a few men and no salaries are
paid nor monies received except for
actual expenses incurred in the 1egfti-
mate expenses of the organization.
One feature OF the work is to Sc
cure a member who desires to BUILD
a home and when he has saved in
the association sufficient to complete
the structure with the amount of loan
the company will make, the loan is
made and the new homeowner can fin
ish paying for his home on monthly
instaIments with interest at a low
rate This enables many a poor man
who Is drawing salry and paying
rent for home, to acquire a nice lit.
tie piece of property for himself.
Among the foremost In this aasocia-
tion upon whom falls a great deal of
the executive work is Fred L. Conkldn
of the firm Of Conldin Brothers. He
has cared for the clerical and general
work Of the association, and the rec
ord for its management at a minimum
expense for the work that is being
done was established last year when
the entire cost of management ap-
proximated $50.

CAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Abe
\ Attell, deposed featherweight
champion, is now located
among the whispering redwoods on
Billy Nolan's mountain ranch in
Lake county. Abe left the city
carrying stiff upper lip and with
the never again" pennant flying
at me fore peak
He intends to spend several
months on the Nolan estate and
saturate himself thoroughly with
whatever brand of ozone they adj
vertise up there. He is to eat ranch
fare follow the pillow and retire
to rest with the birds, or rather at
a CORES ponding hour
Above all, he is not to touch
cards, or at least not in games
where a yellow chip represents an
outlay of $50 and whites are re-
deemable at 81 apiece. This is one
of the clauses in the contract which
binds Attell and Nolan.
Had Reasons to Quit Poker.
Under ordinary circumstances, it
might have been hard for Nolan to
induce Abe to relinquish his be-
loved poker, but they say there
were reasons why the ex-champion
was quite satisfied to have q, para
graph forbidding dalliance with
straights and Pushes inserted in his
newest agreement. Here they are:
Attell has done little else but play
poker since he lost to Tommy Muir
ply It's a way he has of forget
ting the jibes and sneers of this
cruel world. Some fellows drown
their sorrows in the flowing bowl.
Attel buys a stack and dull care
vanishes.
Abe had phenomenal luck. 1t
may sound like fairy tale. but if
the votaries of the circular tables
are to be believed, the one-time
featherweight king won 100000 in
a couple of weeks. Then Dame
Fortune began to feel as though she
had done enough for Abey. The
cards ran against him and $1,000
slipped away like sand through the
fingers.
Just about that time Nolan come
along. He unfolded his scheme
of regeneration and remarked that
poker was the first thing he would
insist on having tabooed. Abe was
all too ready to fall in with No
lan's views. The scheme enabled
Attell to hang on to $4,000 of some
one else's money and abselved him
from a suspicion of cold feet" He
could not play any more because
his new manager had made him re-
nOunce the pastfme.
And so they went to the range
country. And it, as has been said,
good resolutions are sometimes con-
verified into paving stones, Abe's
output viii be ample to build an
esplanade from here to Santa Cruz.
Nolan thinks that few months
of simple life will enable Attell TO
regain his championship and bowl
over an assortment of light
weights on the side Abe is of the
same way of thinking. But such
is the incredulity of human nature
that bets are being made Abe will

be seen around his old haunts In
the city before two weeks go by.
3oing After Murphy Again.
When Attel is himself again he
intends to go after Tommy MUIR
ply. He is afraid his new stock of
fighting ginger may not be last
ing, and he wants to fall upon the
Harlem boy while he is feeling
supple and tigerish. He has a score
to wipe out with both Murphy and
Manager Buckley. and he intends
to kill two bros with one stone.
Johnnie Kilbane can wait. Abe
has no complaint against kilbane,
apart from the chagrin he feels at
losing his championship. Besides,
Kiibane has promised him return
match, and the second meeting wilf
come all in good time.
