ROME TOO HAS IT'S TEMPLE TO
GRAFT.

ROME.-The Palace of Justice is
one of the greatest buildings of the
third Rome, and although imposing
enough, it is decidedly not a master
piece of modern architecture.
1t was opened two years ago, it tool
twenty years in building and cost over
S12,00O,000. This sum was consid-
cred enormous for a building which
is not worth more than $4,000 900, and
on many occasions parliament urged
the government to appoint commits
sion to investigate how the extra $S.-
100000 had been spent. Although
graft was suspected, it was impos-
sible to have it corroborated by re-
liable evidence, and the three Neapoli-
tan contractors who built the palace
and enriched themselves at the ex-
pense of the state instead of being
pI osecuted were awarded high deco
rations.
Some time ago the forsaken mis-
tress of one of the contractors oblig-
ingly handed over to the police a
bunch of important letters consistiag
of the receipts signed by government
officials, members of parliament and
architects for considerable sums OF
money paid to them by the contrac-
tors. A parliamentary commission
was Immediately appointed to inves-
tigate the case and two of the colt
tractors named Borrelli and Ricciadri
have been arrested. A prominent
crown lawyer, who is now the legal
adviser of the state railways, named
Silvestre, hastened to escape as socn
as he knew that warrant for his
arrest had been issued. So far no
further arrests have been made, as
the commission has not yet conclrd
ed its investigation, but many promi-
nent people are meanwhile leaving
Italy to escape arrest.
The scandal of the Palace of Justice
will assume extensive proportions, as
it is well known that the contractors
tipped" handsomely numerous gov
ernment officials. A clamorous trial
will shortly follow, and it is rumored
thai some prominent officials will be
indicted for embezzlement and graft
Meanwhile the press is unanimously
praising the frail lady who SO kindly
put the police on the right track and
deploring Signor Richards great
mistake in abandoning his mistress
and forgetting the Italian proved that
revenge is sweet"

WILSON WILL NOT GUARAN-
TEE ANY PRIVATE LOANS

WASHINGTON, d.. c., March 1S.-
The cabinet is expected to announce
soon that the government will not
guarantee any Wall street loans
abroad or act as a collection agency
in South or Central America.
This afternoon the cabinet discussed
the request of Morgan, Kuhn, Loeb
and other financiers participating in
loan to the Chinese republic, that
the state department sanction such a
loan, so their security may be un-
questioned.
1t is learned that President Wilson
is determined that he will not col
lect private debts. 1t is understood
that Secretary of State Bryan strong
ly favors his attitude.

BOSTON WOOL TRADE ASSOCIA'
TION.

Believing that sheep men today are
more than ever before interested in
improving the handling of their wool,
the Boston Wool Trade association
offers the following suggestions which
are in line with Australian methods
of preparing wool for market:
Tags should be packed separately
and so marked.
Corral sweepings have no value and
should be thrown away.
All bucks regardless of age should
he shorn and packed separately.
All dead wool should be packed
separately and so marked.
All black sheep should be cut out
before shearing and this wool kept
distinctly from contact with white
fleeces and marked "Black WOOL"
Whenever possible wool from ewes,
wcthers and yearlings should be pack
ed separately and each so marked.
For tying fleeces, four-ply paper
twine is recommended. 1t costs but
one cent per pound more than single
ply, is larger and easier to handle
and stays tied. If paper twine is not
available we recommend the use OF
four and one-half finished India
three-ply twine.
Much wool is lost annually through
the brusting of the mouths of sacks
This can be overcome by the use OF
stronger twine, Andover six-ply
used by all eastern wool houses. Ir
no case should sisal or jute twine be
used, either in tipping fleece or sewing
! the mouths of bags.
Packing machine-sewed bags in
side out with the selvage showing
greatly facilitates running the seam
when opening the sack.
Sheep sheds in connection with
shearing plants, often rightly calleo
"sweat sheds" should be provided with
ample ventilation, especially in the
roof, so that the shorn wool will con.
tain no unnatural moisture.

rather than much in any one year.

rather than much in any one year.
Peach trees require more pruning than
most trees; at least one-haf Of the
length of the new growth should be
removed each season. Cherry trees
require the least pruning; merely cut
out dead, broken or CROSSED" limbs.
Other trees need judicious thinning
out and, sometimes, cutting back. Il
two branches interlock, remove the
smaller one. Avoid cutting so as to
leave "stubs;" make neat cuts close
to union: paint all large wounds. Be
chary of cutting off large limbs; if it
must be done, saw on under side first,
partly through and then saw from
above. The harder you prune, the
more suckers you will have; don't
overdo a good thing.
