ItalY's Leaning lowers.

Most cleaners of the wonderful con.
slider the leaning tower of Pisa to be
something unique In architecture. This
is an error, however, for there are two
others in Italy and several in other
European cities. The two at Bologna
are the most remarkable. One of them
is 321 feet In height and leans over
six and half feet from the perpendic-
ular, and the other is 161 feet high
and has "a lean" of over nine feet.
The oldest of these two remarkable

FOREIGN BORN WOMEN.
How They May Become Naturalized,
Married or Single.

Married or Single.
A foreign born unmarried woman
may become n citizen by being natur-
allied. To do this she must be twenty
one years of age and have lived five
years In this country, one full year
of which has been lived in the state
In which she makes her application.
Or she can marry a man who is cid-
zen, for the wife's citizenship follows
the husband, and she continues to re-
tain her citizenship If she continues to
reside in tho United States. unless she
renounces the sovereignty Of the Unit
ed States.
A foreign born woman living in the
United States whose husband is a for
eigner, who refuses to become natural
lied. cannot become a citizen unless
separated from him by divorce or
death.
A native born woman who marries a
foreigner loses her citizenship during
the time Of the married relation, but
upon the death Of her husband or di-
vorce from him she may resume her
citizenship by registering, within one
year with the American consul in the
country of her residence a declaration
that she desires to do so, or She may
resume it by returning to the United
States to reside.-New York Post.

BOGUS "ANTIQUES."
There is Very Simple Way to outwit
the art Fakers.r


Every little while some victim of ar
ustic swindlers comes into court ask
ing damages. The antique" bookcase
for which he paid $1,000 proves to be
one made week before last, an exact
copy of those offered ut annual sales
for $7465. The original picture by
GreuZe or Corot or George Inness or
Homer Martin turns out to he fake
perpetrated by some artist who is
glad to draw regular salary of 500
per week for helping gull the public.
In such cases the courts recover as
much of the victims money as posi-
BILE. His loss in time, modification,
disgust and disappointment must be
charged to experience. And for every
such case which sees the light of n
courtroom scores are kept concealed.
There is a simple way to outwit these
art takers" If you are buying furni-
ture, buy for beauty and utility, not for
age. If you are buying pictures buy
for arts sake. not for a names sake.
Names can be forged. age can be simu'
lated, but beauty and usefulness are
possessions in themselves, no matter
from whose hand you get them.
True, this rule requires the buyer TO
study pictures and furniture until he
knows something about them. But
without such knowledge the owner
gets little satisfaction out OF the pos
sessions. II people bought only those
articles which they understand and
approve, we shOald have saner stand
ard of living In this good country. -

TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
NEAR CAVALRY CAMP
Town of Winchester, Va, Has
100 Cases, According to Re-
port of Minister.

Typhoid fever has invaded the town
of Winchester, Va. where the United
States cavalry camp of instruction is
now on its third week. One hundred
and thirty cases exist in the town
proper, according to the Rev. 2. NJ.
Copp, now in Washington. The cavalry
men, however, are continuing their
work. Thus far this has been practical
ly test of drilling in platoons.
Radical changes in cavalry methods
in this country are expected as a result
of the present maneuvers. Troops are
now in winchester from Fort Myer,
Fort Ethan Allen, Fort Oglethorpe, and
Fort Sheridan. Their evolutions are
based on studies made last year by a
board of officers, who last year made a
study of maneuvers In foreign conn.,
tries. Foreign nations long ago aban-
doned the United States plan Of hand

ner as infantry.
Members of the army cavalry board
have had charge of the new drills.
Thirty-three men constitute a platoon,
and four platoons make a squadron. In
case the War Department adopts the
new system. five or six squadrons will
probably make up a regiment. Later,
the drills will be by squadrons, and
then by regiments.
The men of Eleventh Cavalry have re-
ceived $4,000 as their pay for July.
All of the troops. except those from
Fort Sheridan, marched from their re-
spective station to the maneuver ground.
The Fort Ethan Allen body started early
in June.

NATURALIZATION OF
MINES IS PROPOSED
English M. p, Member of Labor
Party, Would Take Over
All Coal Fields.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The most advanced
step in the Labor-Soclalist program
which is being formulated as a protest
against the alleged mildness of the So
cial legislation of the present govern
ment, has been marked by the intro
ductiOn in parliament from the labor
benches of bill for the nationization
Of all coal and other mineral mines.
The first reading of this bill was
moved by Stephen Walsh, the most in
dependent of all the labor members.
Briefly stated the law contemplates:
First-The fixing of an appointed dag
on which the state is to take over all
the coal mines and minerals in the king
dom.
Second-Compensatio to all those
who have in good faith invested their
money in the sinking and equipment
Of mines.
ThiId-No compensation whatever to
royalty owners; the bill categorically
refuses to recognize or acknowledge
their rights.
Fourth-That the amount of compen-
sation be calculated on the actual output
for the previous tiYe years, a maximum
OF S2.5U a ton being paid I'm the case
OF mines with an output of more than
10000 tons a year, and of So a ton in
mines of smaller production.
tItth-That d minister of mines be
appointed, with comm missioners to give
him advice, three representing the Min
ing Association, three the Miners Fed
Grafton. and three the Trades Union
Congress.
Sixth-That the mIniste. Of mines to
be empowered to acquire any lands COM
pulsorily; to carry on the business OF
selling coal to consumers, and, appar-
emily, to fix the price of coal.
Seventh-That the mines be acquired
by the formation Of a per cent coal
mines stock, the dividend payable out of
the proceeds of the business.
When these proposals were read. they
rather took away the breath of the
house. Some members were inclined to
regard the measure in a jo:ular spirit
until the earnestness of MIR. Walsh, who
earned the respect or the house by his
stand during the coal strike, caused
them to pay serious attention to the
provisions of the proposed law No
liberal names appeared among the back
ers of the bill. 1t IS purely a labor
measure, and 1t represents the labor
view of how such measure should be
cast

Castro's Revolution Is :
Worrying United States

The action of Cipriano Castro in pre-
cipitating a new revolution in Vene-
zuela will hasten the appointment OF a
minister from the United States to this
country. The name of w. w. Russell
late minister to the Dominican Repub-
lie, and a former minister to Venezuela,
was given prominent mention after Mr..
Russell had a conference last evening
with Secretary Bryan. The Secretary
afterward announced that he expected
soon to make an appointment.
Henry +. Tenant. formerly of the
Bureau of Latin-American Affairs, sails
tomorrow from Brunswick, Ga, on the
cruiser Des Moines for Venezuela to
take the post of secretary of the lega-
tion. Until his arrival the legation.
will be in charge of a clerk.
The State Department is plainly un-
easy over the situation. Castro's bonn
bastic statement that wa has become
inevitable" and that Il declare myself
in campaign against Gomez, whose trea-
son and usurpation Of power called me
from private life" is taken to mean
that Castro plans immediate action.
The department will feel better when
capable diplomatic representatives are
in charge of American affairs in

nE1ERsNB DEATH IS
THOROUGHLY PROBED
Police Unable to Find Murder
Clue in Drowning of Civil
War Veteran.

Though the police and the coroner
are convinced that George W. Collins,
veteran of the civil war. took his own
life, police and detectives are continu-
ing today their investigation of the cir
cumstances surrounding his death. Mr..
Collins was reported to the police as
missing on Friday. Yesterday after
noon his body was found in the river
off Dixie Landing by George Frye, COL
ored. a quarry workman.
Stab wounds in the left breast at first
led the police to believe that the vet
eran had been murdered, but Deputy
Coroner Charles M. Emmons and the
detectives are confident that the stab
wounds were self-infiicted. There are
no other marks on the body. not even
a bruise or abrasion.
The wounds are comparatively slight,
and, in the opinion OF the deputy
coroner were made by Mr.. Collins right
hand, as each of them is in the nature
OF a shallow drawn cut, and not clean
stab or slash. They are heaviest on the
right hand side, as though the knife
was pulled, and each parallels the
other. Death was due to drowning,
though the stab wounds would have
eventually been fatal, the deputy cor
oner says.
Police Search Shores.
Acting Coroner White, while concur
ring in the impression that death was
due to suicide, will withhold issuing a
death certificate until the police COM
plete their investigation.
Headquarters Detectives Evans.
O'Dea, Warren and Mullin are working
on the case as are Lieutenant Giles,
Sergeant Easley and Private Heide OF

then apparently in normal condition.
No Motive for Murder.
Mr.. Collins children are reluctant to
believe that he killed himself and equal
ly reluctant to believe that anyone mur-
dered him.
mo motive exists for anyone to have
killed my father" said w. III. Collins,
an employe of the Navy Department.
''and we should hate to think that sus-
picion was fastened on anyone for mur-
der. We would be as sorry to think
that some one had committed murder
as 70 think that our father laid violent
hands upon himself"
There is nothing on which to form a
definite conclusion. While subject to
some of the infirmities Of age, my father
was in excellent spirits and relatively
fair health when he left home No mo-
tive existed for suicide. Likewise, he
had not an enemy on earth, and there
was no reason why any one should at
tack him.
.Ine 1actS being as they are, VINO
shall say how death came. My father Is
dead and that is the salient fact Either
alternative makes one unhappy to think
about, and we prefer that tn eleast pos
sible be said about it"
The coroners autopsy found that the
dead man was suffering from a compli-
cation of chronic diseases of the diges-
tive organs.
Has Peculiar Theory.
Captain Schneider, of the Seventh pre-
cinct, who made the first investigation
OF the case, expressed the belief that
Mr. Collins mind was unsettled by In
tense suffering, and Inat this condition
prompted him to stab himself at the
seat OF pain. The captain cited SINH
lar case of a man in the seventh pre-
cinct, who suffered so intensely from
hernia that he found an isolated spot
and attempted to operate upon himself
with a butcher knife. 1t is believed
that. after Mr.. Collins cut himself, he
either fell or the pain caused him to
throw himself into the. water
He is survived by two sons-William
NJ. and George W. Collins-and a
daughter-Miss E. 8. Collins. Funeral
arrangements will be made today.
