ITALY A RICH FIELD
FOR AMERICAN TRADE
Bought More Goods From U. s. Last
Year Than in Any Four Other
Great Countries.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
MILAN. Italy. November 10.-The ex-
PLANTATION of the increasing number OF
American firms settling in Italy is the
realization that Italy is the future
gateway to the orient and to the near
east. according to Charles F. Hauss.
president of the American Chamber of
Commerce for Italy.
Because of her geographical posi-
tfon. joining the north of Europe to
the orient" said Mr.. Hauss to a cor
respondent OF the Associated Press.
Italy today offers better business op-
portunities for Americans, in my es-
timation, than South America or the
far east. She has fine commercial
strategic position and her government
and people are actively aware of the
fact. and intend to push this advan-
tage of location.
Wartime Italy is far more pros
porous than is generally known. The
recent declaration of dividends showed
earnings higher even than in peace
times. 1t Is also not generally known
that Italy bought more products in
the United States during the past year
than in any four other great countries
She bought over two hundred millions
lions in England. fifty in the Argen-
tina. fifty in France and fifteen in
Switzerland. She is selling to us some
thing over fifty millions a year. which
is about her normal yearly sales OF

Infantile Paralysis Causes Change in
 PrincetOn's GridirOn Plans.

Princeton, N. J., Aug. 31.-An- nouncement has been made here that Princeton's opening football practice, scheduled for Sept. 12, in compH ance with the suggestion of the Princeton Board of Health, will not be held in Princeton, but at some other place, in order to obviate any danger from infantile paralysis, of which the town is now practically free.
 It is practically assured that the Holy Cross game, scheduled for Sept. 30, and the North Carolina contest, listed for Oct. ', will both be played, but in all likelihood the first game at least will be played away from Prince ton. The management is seeking a new location for practice within easy reach of Princeton.

Crack Lightweight Puts Up Great
 Fight at Madison Square Garden.

New York, Aug. 31:-Last night in Madison Square garden Johnny Dun- dee and Joe Yelling put up one of the most cookie of-the-heart warm ing scraps that has been seen in this neck of the woods since Joe Hum- pries was in in his swaddling clothes. There was no knockout; there wasn't even a knockdown, but there was ac- tion aplenty from the first to the final clang of the gong. The two crack lightweightS crowded more real mill ing in one round than ordinarily is seen in sixty.
 Dundee was the winner, but not by a great margin. Yelling gave him glorious combat and fought himself right into the hearts of the local fight fans.

New Haven, Aug. 31.-New Haven gave it's standing an appreciable boost yesterday by triumphing over Law renee in both games of a double header. Three to nothing was the locals margin of success in the opener while figures in the night-cap number registered five and four. Brilliant pitching, coupled with opportune hit ting, was responsible for the brace of victories. Moose Miller knocked in five of New Haven's eight runs. In the first game he poled the ball over the left field wall, scoring a runner ahead of him, while his long sacri- flee fly and two bagger accounted for three tallies in the final encounter. Miller also circled the bases himself for a run. It was a great day for the Moose and the sprinkling of fans loudly applauded his star work. The scores:

SEAMEN To
Be SENT To EUROPE
SAILOR WHO HAD BEEN CON-
FINED FOR TWO MONTHS IN
COUNTY JAIL, LEAVES FOR
NEW YORK IN CUSTODY.

In custody of John A. Wright, a
special agent of the immigration de-
partment, the Spanish sailor, Antonio
Evanendes, left yesterday for New
York. He will be placed aboard a
ship leaving that city next Monday,
and will be deported as an undesirable
citizen.
Local Inspector r. J. Leary, of the
immigration bureau, accompanied
Special Agent Wright to the train,
the three men leaving the county Jail
Jail in closed carriage. The sailor
appeared to have some idea that he
was going away, and few persons
whom he is believed to have recog-
nized were hidden farewell by him.
Captain of Police Cusachs was called
by name by the Spaniard, and was
told goodbye.
Evanendes was discharged from a
ship here in January, and two days
after he left the vessel he was picked
up acting peculiarly and was placed
in the city Jail Later he was trans
ferred to the county jail and placed in
padded cell, where he had remain
ed almost two months. He had the
hallucination that he was very rich
man, a millionaire, and the way he
would talk about the gold which he
had was enough to interest anyone.
One day he caught a string in the
padding of the cell, and this appeared
to give him an idea. Patiently he
worked at the padding, eventually
pulling string after string therefrom
and getting enough to plat into a
rope. Thereafter he wrought the
strings into ropes, the ropes into all
manner of knots, splicing the ends
and making nooses which were pro-
nounced wonderful work, even by q
man in full possession of his mind.

was the greeting which Miss Ernes-

her father, John J. Coe, at the L. &

fore the departure of the northbound
train at noon yesterday. This was the
first intimation that Mr.. Coe, who was
going to New Orleans for permanent
residence, had of his daughters
approaching marriage. In fact it was
the contamination of plan, they con-
fessed afterward, concocted only by
Roland Malone, II years of age, son
of Jack Malone, grocer, of 52S North
F street, and the young lady in ques-
ton. It was a rude shock to the girls
parents, who stood at the gate of the
passenger depot awaiting her arrival,
and who were accompanied by Charles
Hurd, the girls grandfather. The
father hurriedly kissed the new bride
daughter, boarded the train with the
rest of the family, and left shortly
thereafter for the Crescent City,
where he, as owner of the fishing
smack Shannon, with Captain Ted.
Shay, will engage in the fishing bust
ness. In Pensacola for many years
he had been employed by the Pensa-
cola Electric Company, and had
operated the Shannon as sort of a
side line, the boat being owned by
him and Capt. Shay.
The family of Mr.. Coe hal planned
their departure for yesterday at noon,
and tickets for the entire party had
been purchased. AS above stated a
few minutes before the tain was
ready to pull out. the only daughter
