BELIEVE PERUGIA's STORY.
Police Give Full Credence to Account Of
How "Mona Lisa" Was Stolen.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE police and the Of
ficials of the Louvre give full credence to
Vincenzo Perugia's story of the theft OF
the mona Lisa" The authorities have
closely examined all the details and find
nothing to cast doubt on Perguia's mar
rative. Seymour De Ricei, an art ex-
pert, described yesterday the expert
ments made Immediately after the
"Mona Lisa" was stolen. A dummy
picture of the same size and weight,
from thirty-fve to forty pounds, with
the frame, was easily removed by a
police official who had no experience in
handling pictures and who carried it
twenty yards to the staircase, where the
frame of the stolen picture was found.
This was all done within one minute.
Another official accustomed to transport
ing pictures did the same thing in TWEEN
ty seconds. 1t has been proved that Pc
rugia assisted in rehanging the Mona
Lisa" some time before the theft. Off
Gals declare the picture without the
frame is about twenty one inches wide
by thirty high, is less than an inch
thick, and weighs five pounds.

LEWIS NEW
WIRE PLAN
Would Have Government

WOULD NOT NEED
THE TELEGRAPH
The Former Could Be Used
for Talk or Mes
sages

Washington, Dec T.-Representative
Lewis of Maryland, chairman of the
labor committee and author of the par
eel post act, will shortly introduce a bill
for the acquisition by the government
of all the wires of the telephone COM
panies, but win not provide for the TAX.
ing over of those of the telegraph COM
panies, 1t is Mr.. Lewis belief that the
telegraph properties are not worth buy
ing, inasmuch as the copper wires OF the
telephone systems can be utilized eco
nomically for the sending of dispatches
Since the postmaster general has come
out in favor of government ownership OF
the wires it is expected that the Lewis
bill will receive all the consideration of
a party measure. 1t is known, however,
that several Democrats in the House and
Senate are opposed to this proposed in
vasion by the government into the field
of private enterprise, but, on the other
hand Mr.. Lewis and some of his more
radical colleagues have been working up
sentiment for months in such way
that it win be difficult for congress to
do otherwise than obey the administra-
ton and the demands of the people
throughout the country who have been
carefully educated by various news
agencies in Washington to favor govern
ment ownership OF the wires. Some idea
of the extent of this publicity campaign
may be gathered when it is stated that
Representative Clyde H.. Tayenner of IL
linois, who supplies daily and weekly
news service to something like $500
papers and who is regarded by his lead
ers as a spokesman for the Democrats,
has been sending out matter eriticising
the conduct of the telephone business
under private ownership and setting
forth the advantages OF government
ownership.
Under the Lewis plan, the details of
which have just become known, the gov
eminent would go into the telegraph
business and handle individual messages.
The federal system is to be set up by at
taching telegraphers' instruments to the
telephone wires and using the telephone
copper circuits for both kilograms and
conversations BY eliminating the pur.
chase of the telegraph companies it is
estimated that the cost of the govern
ment adding wire communication to its
post office department machinery win be
reduced by S200,000,000 An outlay of
not less than 5000, 100000, it is believed,
will be required to purchase the tele-
phone systems of the country.

"No REAL DEPRESSION"
Gompers Says Men Are Out of Employ
ment Because of Nations Transition.


Washington, Dec. l7.-President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor told the House Judiciary com
mittee yesterday that while the number
of men out of employment in the United
States might possibly be a trife above
normal, he believed that was "due to the
transition we are in, rather than to any
real depression" Mr.. Gompers made this
statement during the course of an
argument for the Bartlett bill. He point
ed to the recent indictment of labor
leaders in Colorado for violation OF the
Sherman law to emphasize his conten-
ton that they should be exempt from
prosecution for combining to better
wages and conditions. He urged the
committee to adopt the Bartlett bill as
part of its antitrust program. The bill
would exempt from prosecution persons
employed or seeking employment who
enter into any combination or agree
ments to lessen hours of labor, increase
wages or better conditions. 1t also pro-
yides that no combination or agreement
among persons engaged in horticulture
or agriculture shall be unlawful when
made to enhance the price of agricul-
tural or horticultural products. The
rights of courts to issue restraining or
ders or injunctions in labor cases would
be limited. Mr.. Gompers said he was
confident the present attorney general
was not going to proceed against labor
organizations. "But who knows how
long this administration is to lastf" he
inquired. 1--WE don't want to exist at
the within of any officer. We have a
right to exist.

VILLA BOWS TO UNITED STATES

ply with the demands OF the United
States that the rights of Spanards and

FEWER MEDICAL SCHOOLS.
There Are Fourteen Less in United
States Than Year Ago.

There are Ia fewer medical schools in
the United States than there were a
year ago; 1900 fewer persons studied
medicine in 1918 than in 1912; and there
was a decrease of 500 in the number of
medical graduates, according to figures
compiled at the United States Bureau
of Education.
The reduction in the number of medi-
cal schools is part of steady movement
for improved medical education that
has been going on for the past or 8
years. The American Medical associa-
ton, the various state medical societies,
and other agencies, have aroused public
opinion to such an extent that 70 med
ical colleges have either merged with
other institutions or ceased to exist, and
the standard of medical training has
been raised considerably. OF the l0l
medical schools now listed at the bureau,
SO are requiring one or more years OF
college work as a prerequisite to enter
ing upon the study of medicine. State
examining boards in North Dakota,
Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Indiana,
South Dakota, and Kentucky have intro
duced regulations, in most cases to be
IAhuE tDtNbAfC a SthA ~ h''Ns biS
viding that every applicant foAs a license
TO practice medicine shall have studied
two years in college, after four-years'
high school course, before even begin
ming medical training. A similar require
ment covering one year of college work
win soon be enforced by the state board
OF Connecticut, Kansas, Utah, Vermont,
Pennsylvania, and California.
An interesting feature of the statistics
is the part played by women. Although
the total number of medical students has
decreased, the number of women study
ing medicine has increased. In 1919
there were lS,45l medical students, of
whom 1922 were women; in 1913 there
were 1928 students, OF whom $50 were
women. Only 20 women graduates this
year, however, as compared with l42
in 1912.
