Signor Salandra Is regarded as the

about the present crisis. owing TO

GOVERNMENT NOT
READY FOR MEASURE
POSTMASTER GENERAL BURI4E-
son SAYS OWNERSHIP SERV-
ICE NET TO COME.
W WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March S.-A
statement was made tonight by au-
thority of Postmaster General Burle
son. that government ownership of
telegraph and telephones cannot yet
be regarded as an administration
measure" A good deal of signiti-
canoe is attached to this statement,
inasmuch as the postmaster general,
in his first annual report, made an
argument favorable to the purchase
OF the telegraph and telephone lines
by the government, urging that they
be operated as part of the postal
service.
Following the publication or the
postmaster generals annual report,
a number of government ownership
bills were introduced in congress,
notably one by Representative Lewis,
Of Maryland. author Of the parcel
post law. An effort was made to
create the impression that the Lewis
bill had the approval of the admin
istration. However. the house post
Office committee has refused SO far
to push the Lewis bill. or other meas
ures of like character, and the In
dicationS are that no action will be
taken at this session IF congress on
the proposal that the government ac-
quire the telegraph and telephone
lines.
The attitude OF the president to-
ward government ownership of the
telegraph and telephone lines Is set
forth in a report about to be made
to the senate on the subject by the
postoffice department.
In this report, which was prepared
by postal officials under the direction
OF the postmaster general, MIR. Burle-
son reiterates his arguments for gov
eminent ownership.

there, in the middle of saddle be-
tween the heights, lies the city OF
Capri, invisible from the sea. Just
westward the rocks rise again precipi-
tously, almost as abruptly as the east
ernmost point of the island, forming
a rough tableland, sloping off to the
west coast, where the descent is sharp.
The highest point of all in Capri Is
Mount Solaro, just west of the central
cliff, 1920 feet
The water of the Bay Of Naples is
wondrous blue, and as the shores OF
Capri are neared the color becomes
more pronounced, owing to the shoal-

quoise. Out come the roWboats, be-
fore the chain begins to rattle, and In
q few minutes the now familiar proc

a few embark, while several dozen go

After a short wait the steamer

BALL GAME is REPRODUCED
Novel Electric Motion Sign Represents
Pitcher and Catcher Going Through
Maneuvers of Game.

Installed in conspicuous place on
one of the streets of Pittsburgh, Pa,
Is a novel electric motion sign which
represents the pitcher, batter and
catcher going through the usual
maneuvers of ball game. The cycle
of effects is as follows: First the
pitcher and the catcher warming up
before the batsman enters the box;
second, the pitcher winding up and
delivering the ball to the batsman,
who knocks a foul ball; third, the
pitcher throwing ball which is
missed by the batsman, and, fourth,
the ball being delivered and the bats
man knocking pop fly" into the
pitchers hands. During the entire OPP
Grafton the figures go through the
most lifelike movements, and the ball
is represented flying through the air
in passing from one position to an
other.
After the ball game is over the sign
legend is illuminated in sections dis
playing respectively the words
Chew" Smoke" and the name Of the
tobacco advertised. In addition to pro-
ducing the spectacular effects de-
scribed, the sign indicates the time of
day by an electrically Illuminated

infected Rabbits Stolen.

Disease-infected rabbits, inoculated
with the germs of tuberculosis and
other diseases of most dangerous ma
tIlre, have been stolen from the lab
3ratory of Doctor Bonnefoy at Allauch,
near Marseilles. 1t is feared that the
thieves may have already disposed of
the e1olen rabbits to provision dealers
Doslor Bonnefoy as soon as he discov-
ersd that the rabbits were missing, in
formed the police and asked that the
widest publicity should be given to
the fact in the local newspapers SO

GIVES ORIGIN OF "BIG SIX"
Jim Hart, Former Owner of Chicago
Cubs, Is Responsible for Name
Given Christy Mathewson.

There have been plenty of reasons
advanced for the name of Blk Six"
which has been tackled on to Christy
Mathewson. The real reason is new.
In the old days the National league
consisted of two constantly warning
factions known as the big Three"
and the big Five" The st. Louis club
held the balance of power, and
switched its vote according to which
of the other owners it owed the most
money. In New York one day there
was a hot argument as to whether
the big Three" or the big Five"
had done the most for baseball Jim
Hart. then owner of the Chicago club
snorted:
big Three and Big Five" he
said angrily. Neither of them draws
anyone to ball games-it's Blk Six
out there"

On his first birthday anniversary she

after long silence she turned to her
mistress:
Mrs. Blank, do you think Bobby

The young mother would not alto

glowing possibilities for her sons fu-

Some Queer Mix-Ups.

The rule against coachers touching,
base runners at third base has caused
some queer mix-ups this season. Re-
Gently Washington runner, rounding
third, ran into Manager Griffith, who
was coaching and Umpire O'Loughlin
called the runner out, on the theory
that it was not for him to say if the
collision was intentional or otherwise
on the part of the coacher. The rea-
soning of O'Loughlin is sound, that
a coacher, after stopping a needless
base runner, might claim they came
together accidentally, but there is no
sense in a decision reported from a
minor league city in the South, where
the umpire called a runner on third
out because coacher had handed him
handkerchief, the runners nose
having started to bleed. 1t was new
er intended that coacher should not
approach a runner after he had quit
running, to give him advice or render
assistance, as in the case of the nose
bleed.

Woman of Mystery Dead.

The famous white lady," who never
missed a day of the Dreyfus trials,
has just died at Hyeres, France, aged
sixty. About a month ago she ar
rived at Bormes and complained to
the mayor that people were endeavor-
ing to abduct her with the view Of
ultimately securing her property. AS
there was no evidence of any such
plot the mayor merely advised her to
make a will, and sent a notary to her
lodging, but when he reached it he
found that the lady had departed with
Doctor Petit for Hyeres. She took
the Villa Mathilde, where she has just
died Her real name was Nine. JOuf-

Toulon Immediately had seals affixed.
and ordered a careful inventory of the
objects in her travelling bag, which
she always carried and which is sup
posed to contain about $4,000 in
money and at least S150,000 in jewels.
This, however, remains to be proved.
