HELPING NEPHEW

Not long ago there died in Albany
New York, an old woman who, for
years, had been the object Of charity.
Nevertheless, the old lady possessed
sufficient means, at her death, to war
rant her making a will.
For about nine years before she
passed away, this old lady had been
the recipient of a pint Of milk and a
loaf of bread sent to her daily by a
wealthy woman of the town. When the
will came to probate it was discovered
that the maker thereof had bequeathed
her daily allowance of milk and bread
to her nephew.-May Lippincott's.

REPUBLICANS WILL
 REORGANIzE PARTY
SENATOR CUMMlNs FAVORS NEW PARTY PLATFORM PROVIDED
 IT IS PROGRESSIVE.
Senator GaIlinger Adds Interest When He Proposes the Name of Senator Root for President.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The Repub- lican national committee when it meets in this city Tuesday to determine upon the calling of a convention for party reorganization, will find itself confronted with a well defined demand that the proposed convention take up the whole subject of framing a plat form for the congressional election fight of 1914.
 Reformation of the rules of the par ty has been limited in the discussions of the last few months to the pro- posals that the representation of Southern states in national conyen- tions be diminished; that primary elec- ton of delegates in different states be sanctioned; and that the national committee shall retire immediately when new members are elected, in stead of holding over through the pres idential campaign, as has been the custom.
 Party leaders of pronounced pro gressive type now are demanding. however that the Republican forces prepare for the drafting of a com parative platform to be adopted at the proposed national convention, and to for mthe groundwork for the Repub- lican fights of 1914 and 1916. If the

national committee decides Tuesday to call the special party convention, it is expected that the proposal for a new platform will dominate party ac- tiyity during the ensuing weeks.
 Republican committeeman are ar irving in Washington in anticipation of the committee meeting and adyo- cates of the special convention ex- press confidence that a majority of the members of the national commit tee now are favorable 10 their plan
 Former Gov. Hadley of Missouri will reach Washington Monday and a meet ing will be held then of the special reconciliation committee" of which 'Progressives and Republicans ap- pointed at Chicago last spring. which has been foremost in pushing the cam paign for party reorganization.
 While this committee probably will have no representative sitting as a member of the national committee Tuesday, it's views will be fully pre- sented.
 Senator Cummins a leader of line "conciliation" forces today said he ia. vored the adoption of a new party plat form by the proposed national conyan- ton, providing it agrees on a thor oughly progressive platform
 The interest surrounding the Repub- lican gathering was intensified today when Senator Gallinger, Republican leader of the Senate. injected pcesi- dential politics into the currency dis cussion by bringing forth Senator Root as a presidential candidate.

Florence, Italy, Dec. 13-Vincenzo Perugia' from whom Leonard Da Vim crs masterpiece, Mona Lisa" was re- covered here yesterday, declared ab. soluteiy to the police today that he had no accomplices, either direct or indirect, in the theft of the painting from the Louvre in Paris Nobody knew of his plan before it's execution: nobody saw him when he abstracted the picture and nobody knew he had the picture in his possession.
 T did not take the painting through a desire for gain he said, but wish ed accomplish a good and holy work by returning to my country one of the many treasures stolen from it."
 While working in the Louvre, he continued, he was overcome with shame on hearing visitors indicate the best works as Italian One day he took this oath: q will be unworthy of Italy if I don't return to her one of these masterpieces"
 The idea obsessed him and the Mona Lisa was ever before him. When he could delay no longer he found he could accomplish his pur- pose without great difficulty, as he already was known by those employed about the building After the theft he was interrogated by the police, but his frankness and his request that they search his room disarmed sus- 1 picion.
 Similarly when he crossed hte French frontier he so orderly opened his workbox for the authorities that they overlooked it. It apparently con tained a few rags and tools.
 Perugia declared he did not intend to sell the picture to the government, but he thought he ought to have ade. quate compensation for the great | service rendered Italy"
 The antiquary Geri. will claim the rewards offered by the French gov. ernment and Paris newspapers for the recovery of the picture. The Mona Lisa" has been placed temporarily in the Ufnzi gallery, where it reposed 400 hundred years ago. By permission of the French government and in re. sponse to requests received from hun dreds of Flo7entines. Dr. Dorado Ricci, director general of the depart. ment of fine arts. has decided to ex- hibit it for a day or two, declaring that this gallery is tits legitimate place"
 The painting has been hung in the Leonardo hall, between the Annuncia- ton and the Alteration of the Magi of that master, It is in an ancient frame of gilded walnut and is protect ed by a glass Tomorrow the public will be admitted.
 When Dr Ricci was again asked to- day if he was absolutely certain that this was the genuine Mona Lise," he replied
 T only wish that the French ex- perts would consider it a copy; then it would remain in Italy"

INFANT DEATH RATE
LESS In WASHINGTON


Figures showing the infant and child
mortality of the census registration
area of the United States for 1911,
issued by Director Durand. Of the Cen
sus Bureau, yesterday, prove an en-
couraging falling off in the infant
death rate since 1900. when the last
census was taken. The death rate for
infants under one year of age was 112.S
per 1000, or about eight times the
death rate at all ages From one to
four years the rate was lis per 1000,
and for the first five years 1923 per
1000. The census shows that there
has been a great reduction in the In
fant and child mortality of recent
years, due, doubtless, to the persistent
campaign which has been conducted
against ignorance in the care OF chi-
dren The decrease in the death rate
of irfants under one year Of age since
1900 was 10 per cent.
The largest percentage OF decrease
i'm tn. death rate Of infants under one
wear of age shown for any of the
states compared was that for Rhode
Island, 80 per cent. and the smallest
that for Michigan, per cent. In all
the large cities included in the table,
except Minneapolis. ST. Paul. Syracuse
and Portland, the infant death rate
was lower in 1911 than in the census
wear 1900. The largest relative de-
crease was in Atlanta, 55 per cent
followed by those for Indianapolis, 81
per cent, and Washington, Paterson,
and Memphis each SO per cent.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
SUBJECT OF COMPLAINT


Ciaifling that the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, by refusing
to give him the same telephone rates in
Highland Park. Bethesda, Montgomery
County, Md, as residents In adjacent
sections, the value of property in his
community has been deprecated, d. F..
Stephen yesterday nled a complaint
against the telephone company with the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mr. Stephen declares in the complaint
that one OF the inducements which led
him to purchase property in Highland
Park was the privilege Of securing tele-
phone service at the rate of s. per month
on a four-party line. with an unlimited
number Of calls. to any telephone con-
nected with the Cleveland exchange. The
rates were maintained until April l.,
1913 according to the complainant He
asserts that for calls for other exchanges
in Washington he was charged an ad-
ditional 10 cents for each local call OF
five minutes or less. but that incoming
calls from any exchange in the District
were at the regular District rate.
The telephone company, he continues,
has established boundary lines in Mary
land as the limit of the territory within
which telephone subscribers may obtain
service direct with the Washington ex-
changes at the regular District rate.
Certain locations. he claims, in the same
zone as Highland Park are receiving GER
tain advantages that he should receive.
The commission is asked to make an
investigation and to require the defend
ant to extend the limits of the boundary
line to include his property and such
other property as the commission thinks
should be included.

One-third Of Motor Boats Fail to
REGARD Navigation Regulations.

Nearly one-third Of the motor boats
in the United States violate the naviga-
ton laws through failure to maintain
proper life saving equipment and to con-
form to the regulations governing the
navigation Of streams.
This is shown by a report of the
Bureau OF Navigation made public by
Secretary OF Commerce Redfeid yester-
day. During the past year the motor
boat Tarragon, of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, discovered the owners of 1876
motor boats out of 1872 inspected to be
maintaining their craft In violation Of
the regulations. These inspections were
made by the Tarragon in Chesapeake
Bay and waters tributary to it.
Shanehaiing among the oyster fleets OF
the bay was decreased through the
police work done by the Tarragon. &C.
cording to the report. The secretary
estimates that the lives of 100000 per-
sons are protected by the enforcement Of
the navigation laws.
