STARVATION IN VENICE
AS RESULT OF THE WAR
Hotels Are Deserted and Gondoliers
Have Pawned Their
Brass Horses.
O, th. Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
VENICE, May 1-Venice. perhaps OF
all the cities of Italy. is feeling the war
most keenly At the height OF the
spring season in normal years there
would be from $4,000 to 10000 tourists
here. But today there are not hun
dred in the whole city. Hotels with
from two to three hundred rooms are
absolutely empty; some, indeed. are
closed up.
The Piazza of St Mark is deserted, and
there are no strangers to feed the
pigeons. The Grand canal, which ought
to be black with gondolas, has no other
traffic but the 2-cent steamboats, Tne
gondoIiers are literally starving. Near
" all of them have been compelled even
to pawn the familiar brass horses
which decorate their gondolas, though
all they can raise on them is SIX ira
a dollar and twenty cents.
The storekeepers are in no better
plight, dependent as they are almost
entirely upon the tourists. Most, of
them are unable to pay their rents, and
the landlords, with the help of the
banks, are carrying them over until
better times.
Venice has no trades and Industries,
except in articles of luxury, such as
laces leather goods and fine glassware.
All these are entirely at a standstill-
Distress among the working classes
is widespread. Even in normal times
the poverty in Venice is extraordinari-
" great; some authorities, indeed. assert
that one fourth of the whole popula-
tion are paupers. During the past
month there have been food riots, and
thousands of people are close to starv-
ing. The municipality has been grant
ing relief as far as possible, but now
it is said that the funds available for
this purpose are well nigh exhausted.

time FOR TAXsPAYING
EXTENDED BY GOVERNOR

The governor has extended the
time for paying taxes to May 81,
without penalty, and all sheriffs
in the state are advised that they
can leave their tax books open
until that date.
This arrangement will give
about six weeks more time to
those who have not been able to
dig up the money, when the time
for paying closed, without the
penalty attached Many in this
county will be benefited by the
extension, as numbers have not
yet paid their taxes.
