ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Rome, May 25-The Italian author
tiles are expressing qualification over
the zeal with which men of all classes
have fastened to volunteer since the
declaration of war. The number of
those who have responded. even be-
fore being called to the colors and
having no obligation to serve, is de-
clared to be remarkably large. In
the aristocracy the volunteering Is
quite as general among the houses
still faithful to the Pontiff as among
those adhering to the House. of Savoy.
One particularly interesting feature
noted in the list Of noblemen who have
thus far volunteered, is the fact that
so many have American wives. There
is the Marquis Spinola, who some
years ago married Miss Page. cousin
of Thomas Nelson Page, the present
Ambassador here. The Princess di
Poggio Suasa, who was Miss Curtis
of New York, has opened her beautiful
palace in Rome as hospital for the
wounded, and is sending three sons,
who were all born in New York. to
the front. Don Marine Torlonia Will
also help. encouraged by his wife.
Elsie Moore of New York; Prince Del
Drago. another volunteer. has an
aunt-in-law Princess Giovanni Del
Drago, who was Mrs. Josephine
Schmid Of New York; another Is
Prince di San Faustino, who married
Jane Campbell of New York.
Four of the Princes Rospigliosi are
on the list, two of whom have Amer
lean wives, Ethel Julia Bronson, and
Mildred Hasseltine. Marquis Teodoli,
who has enlisted, had as mother Lily
| Conrad of New Orleans at one time
the most beautiful woman in Rome;
while Count Semi leaves behind an
American wife. Mary Layley Of New

PALMER BLANCH-
ARD SUIT GIVEN new
TRIAL BY ! Law COURT

The famous suit Of Rachel M. Palm
er Of Alma against Henry F. Blanch-
ard, administrator of the estate OF
George E. Trask. which proved to be
one Of the most interesting ever tried
in Lincoln county, will again be pre-
sented to a jury. This was the con-
clusion arrived at by Associate Justice
Haley of the Supreme court. He hand
ed down a long rescript dealing with
the case Wednesday and found that
the motion requested by the plaintln
for a new trial should be granted.
The original suit was tried at the
April term Of court. 1914, with Cher
Justice Savage presiding. The plaintiff
sought to recover on two notes. one
for $4,000 and the other for $1,000 given
to her in 1908, as she alleges, by the
deceased. This, it was claimed, was
in settlement of their numbering part
nership which has been carried on In
Lincoln county. At the trial, the de-
Tense claimed the notes were forgeries,
that they were drawn without consid-
erations and further, that they had
been altered.
After long trial, in which the bulk
of the testimony was furnished by
handwriting experts. the case went
to the jury on these points and the
jury returned verdict for the defen-
dant. A motion for new trial was at
once filed by counsel for the plaintiff
and no exceptions were taken.

seph B. Reed of Portland appeared fol

the bent and twisted Widow OK eefe,

the veteran Dan O'keefe been the most

RIGHT Attitude Taken

The proposition of the railroads Of
Pennsylvania to submit the question of
the repeal of the Full Crew Laws to the
public, because the latter is yitally inter
ested in this problem, is only another in
stance of the change which has taken
place in the attitude of many of the
great business corporations of the coun-
try which are semi-public in their char
acter.-TimeS, MonoHgdhela, Pa.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-01
Deprives Others of Jobs

The entire act is based upon false
economic principle-that work can be
made by legislative edict. To make a
job for one man where there is no serv-
ice to perform means depriving another
man of a job where service under nor
NAL conditions is needed-Herdld,
WdweSbOr0. Pa.

Worse Than Useless

The Full Crew Law is one Of the
pieces of legislative folly for which the
people are now paying in the form of
advanced freight and passenger rates.
1t compels the railroads to pay men
whom they do not need, men who are
worse than useless because their idle
ness is demoralizing to the whole work
ing force.-Ndtiondl Stockmur and
Farmer, PittSbwqh.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-01
Evidence to Public

The public is ready to hear the evil
dence and it is up to the parties con-
cerned, the railroads and the trainmen,
to submit their briefs. This the rail
roads are doing and to their credit, be
it said, in an open and above-board man
ner.-Daily Republican, MdlvilIe, N. J.

Wipe the Law Off

A vigorous, common sense argument
is that presented in behalf of the rail
roads endeavoring to secure repeal of
the Full Grew Law. The measure should
be promptly wiped from the statute
books.-Record. Summit N. ].
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-01
Honest Proposition

Here is perfectly fair and honest
proposition that ought to receive the at
tention of the Legislature, and no doubt
the great majority of the legislators are
perfectly willing to consider it.-EVe"-

force of facts and figures and a direct
ness of reasoning that is most impress

In the last analysis the public pays the
bill, and the public is, therefore, nightly
interested in the present attack on the
Full Crew bill.-Gagette and Bulletin,

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-01
Turn On the Liuht

The fact that the opponents of the re-
peal of the Full Crew Laws object to the
light, that they do not want popular dis
cussion, is very strong evidence in itself
that they have case that will not stand
the light.-Moyning San, Baltimore.

Newspapers Voice Public Demand
for Repeal of Full Crew Laws

Public sentiment, expressed by the newspapers
whemngly favors the repeal of the Full Crew"excess
man crew Laws.
On February 18th, the railroads of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey frankly and fearessy submitted the Court
of Public Opinion the why these laws, which
necessarily burden the people, should be repealed

These men are of no more use than

rather detrimental than otherwise to the
