Berlin, July 25 There are many

to be laid before the Reichstag this
year for a revision Of the penal code
whereby convicted person if he

from this blot upon his record
Upon later conviction for crimes
they lose the benefit of milder pen

ENGLISH REFUSE TO
GO WITHOUT COATS
(By Associated Press.)

London, July %. -England's hot
spell has started an agitation for re-
form in mems summer dress, but so
far none have had the courage to
follow the American fashion of ap-
pearing in the street in shirt and
belt. An Englishman never dis
penses With the coat except when
playing tennis and cricket and boat
ing on the river. To appear with
out a coat on the links is quite as
objectionable in ENGLAND as to go
coatless in the street.
"My long-suffering brothers, asks
one writer in daily paper why
not defy the women, take off our
coats and waistcoats and be cool.
They do these things in America
where woman is a very independent
creature. Why can't we 90 them
here? Haven't we the pluck?
~ was moved to these remarks,
he continues, "by the sight of gen
tleman, presumably from the States,
sauntering down Shoe lane. He
looked radiantly cool and serenely
happy. And for the first time in
my mortal career | enyied an Amer
lean. As a fact, he also looked
smart. His straw was neat; his soft
collar and horizontal tie were dressy,
the awkward transition from ga,Ize
to tweed was masked in a becoming
silken band, He did not look at all
on the contrary, he looked
far more male than the poor fellows
in bales of tweed and homespun
slouching around him.
The writer ends with the confess
sion:
we do not like our muggy dress;
we do not hug our letters; we suf-
fer though with tears, for the sake
of the ladies. The ladies like to
see us looking smart Smart! Good
gracious. And we are not even al
lowed to powder our greasy complex

Washington, July 25 THE Unit
ed States today awaited the outcome
of the meeting at Tampico between
Carranza and Reginaldo and Capeda,
Carbajal's ENJOYS, to arrange for the
peaceful transfer of the government.
1t is believed here that peace is at

think the conference will reach a
speedy agreement as all Carbajal
asks is amnesty for political Offend
ers and a guarantee for people liv-

Huerta. Carranza is ready to grant
this, but won't give immunity to
persons concerned in the assassina-
tion of Madero Carbajal probably
will not object to this.

AMUSING ACCOUNT
OF ORIENTAL JUSTICE
CBy Associated Press.)

Jaffa, July 25.-An amusing story
of oriental Justice comes from the ar
rest of an Austrian subject of twenty
years residence here for insulting
the Turkish flag. The Austrian had
walked about the streets with the
flag wrapped around one shoe AS it
was clear that he wore the flag in
this fashion in order to offend the
Turks, and as the Austrian consul
with the backing of powerful gov
crnment demanded the mans re-
lease, the Turk on the bench wisely
saved the honor of both countries
by this ruling:
The cause of the offense is the
shoe" ruled the resourceful court
"You can therefore take the man,
and we will keep the shoe.
The Austrian was then released,
while the offending shoe is still do
ing time"

NEW WRITING SYSTEM
INTRODUCED IN TURKEY
tBy Associated Press. ,

Constantinople, July % With
view to the spread of education, a
new system of writing has been in
troduced into Turkey, which is now
being taught to the unlettered army
recruits. 1t not only reduces the Pc
riod for mastering the written Ian
guage to a comparatively short one,
but brings it within the mental lin
itations of the lower class.
Turkish writing has been an ac-
complishment of the few, since the
people followed agriculture and left
business in the hands of the educated
Armenians. The old system resem-
Dies stenography, with three sepa-
rate and distinct signs for each
sound, according to their position in
the word written. Like stenography
it is necessary to know the word
Alright first in order to read it cor
rectly. To understand its difficulties,
the same sign represents the sounds
o, on, Ell and V, and the reader has
to know which of these sounds is in
tended.
In the new writing, words are
spelled separately instead of being
run together, with phonetic letters.
This will greatly facilitate type-set-
ting and allow the construction of
Turkish typewriter.
Each soldier is being taught the
new writing, with the idea that he
will introduce it to his family on
returning to his native village. His
interest in public affairs and sense
of national unity will also grow with
the reading Of books and papers.
This is the work that Enver Pasham,
the war minister, has undertaken.

FRENCH WOMEN SECURE
$4,000 FOR RED CROSS
BY SELLING FLOWERS
tBy Associated Press. J

Paris, July 25.-An army Of
5000 women selling artificial flowers
in a single day in Paris, gathered
more than $4,000 for the French
Red Cross Society. The campaign
was a special one for the benefit Of
the sick and wounded French SOL
diers in Morocco. The women char
ity workers sold the little flowers
not only in the streets but in the
theaters and the principal cafes and
restaurants. Their richest harvest
was at the Velodrome on the night
of the Johnson Moran fight. AL
though the flowers we're selling for
only two cents, many of the specta-
tors in the ringside seats dropped
silver and gold into the collecting
boxes.

AUTOMOBILES FOR RURAL
ROUTE CARRIERS-PERHAPS

Washington, July % THE auto
mobile is likely to become a big fac
tor soon in the delivery of mail to
rural patrons in Florida and other
States where the roads are such as to
admit of convenient tavel by motor
Under a plan which has been ma
tured by the postmaster general it is
proposed to increase the length of
standard route and also to increase
the pay of the carriers, provided he
equips himself with an automobile.
The tentative arrangements is to in
crease the length of the standard
route from twenty-four to fifty miles
and the maximum compensation
from $1,000 to $1,S0O year. In
conformity with this new movement
the House committee on postofiices
and postroads has reported into the
House bill granting an allowance of
.SIS0O a year for rural carriers who
use automobiles.
PostofIice department officials eX-
press confidence that a yearly al
lowance of $1,000 will enable car
riers to purchase and maintain auto
mobiles of the cheaper type.

WAR ON LOAN SHARKS
IN JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, July 25.-That six
teen loan sharks" all operating
more or less in violation of the
State laws, are doing business in
Jacksonville, is the statement of
Fred A. Bolts, assistant United
States district attorney yesterday,
who has opened up a vigorous cam
paign against the business, which,
he says, he will continue until the
practice is stopped. The arrest of
c. G.. Harris, who has Offices in the
Blum building on Forsyth street,
was the first gun in the campaign
yesterday morning, following inyes-
tigation begun some days ago. The
arrest was made on Il warrant by
Deputy Sheriff Lucius IIaddock, and
the preliminary hearing has been
set for Thursday morning at 10
o'clock before Judge c. d. Abbott
Discovered by Accident
The discovery of the loan traffic
came to him by accident, Mr., Bolts
said, and he found on further re,
search what he characterized as a
most deplorable state of affairs.
y. A. Rountree, an aged negro
telegraph messenger, brought in re-
ceipts to show that he had been pay
ing interest for twenty months on a
loan of s. at the rate of $1.75
month, or a total of $35 for less
than two years, and the s. was still
owing. Mr.. Bolts promptly dunned
the shark" and got an immediate
payment Of $65 on a threat of law
suit, he said.
The news spread like wildfire
among the blacks. No less than nine
other colored telegraph messengers
waited on the attorney the next
morning, and their stories are said
to have involved several other firms,
and were much the same as regards
details. In all cases a highly ex-
orbitant rate of interest had been
paid, and the men all gladly gave af-
fidayits of the alleged facts in the
cases, a score of the documents be-
ing now in the possession of Mr..
Bolts.
