WANT ESTABLISH RELATIONS AT
 VATICAN

ROME, Feb. "A. - Not since the fall of the temporal power of the Pope, some forty-six years ago. have there been so many attempts of hitherto in different countries to re-establish dip lomatic relations by sending ministers to the Vatican, in addition to those al ready accredited to the government of Italy at the Quirinal.
 England and Holland have renewed diplomatic relations by sending min isters to the Vatican, while France is thought to be represented through the principality of Monaco, which is the latest to renew old relations. Of course since the entrance of Italy into the war, the Austria nambassador to the Vatican left, as well as the min isters from Prussia and Bavaria, re spectively, the Baron Von Ritter and the Baron Von Muhlberg.
 While these three countries just named did not in any sense break their relations with the Vatican, and perhaps even now try to keep in bet ter connection than ever, 1t was inn possible for them to remain openly here, due to the peculiar position of the Holy See.
 England has never had a permanent representative to the Vatican until the recent coming of Sir John How ard, formerly British minister to The Hague. England having in past times appointed special agents to deal with the special religious questions affect ing her Catholic populations.

GERMAN STAMPS FOOL MANY
 AMERICANS

LONDON, Feb. "A. - Stamp collec- tors in the United States have been badly hoaxed in accepting as genuine the German Kamerun stamp bearing the overprint c. R. l., according to a British officer with the troops now occupying that African colony The German colonial stamps are genuine, he says, but the overprint is bogus. Germans in the unconquered part of the colony use the old stamp, as it is. Members of the expedition send their mail by government frank alone. Civilians in the part under British use the German stamp bearing the overprint of c. E. F. (Cameroons Expeditionary Force). In no case were the initials of the English king and histitles printed upon the stamps.

MEARS' REPLY TO
 LABOR UNION . ANCHORAGE

The result of the conference be tween Commissioner Mears and a committee which presented a schedule of wages asked by skilled and un- skilled labor on the government rail way project is that the schedule and Mr. Mears' reply to the committee, together with. his recommendations have been forwarded by telegraph to the majority of the members of the commission now in Washington. The Anchorage member of the commission is without authority to act alone in the matter, and as the cable is still out of commission, necessitating the sending of messages between Seward and Valdez or Cordova by mail, pos sibly two weeks may elapse before the reply of the Washington authori- ties can be received. In the meantime the walk-out situation will T6ndln uuCIdHSSu'
 MT. Mears' reply to the committee follows;
 Gentlemen: In response to your letter of February F, in which you hand me a statement. signed by the secretary of the Federal Union. re questingA that a certain schedule of wages be applied on the work of building the government railroad at Anchorage, you are respectfully ad- vised as follows:
 q. The question of wage schedule to be used on the government railroad in Alaska is one of policy and as all questions involved in the policy adopted on this project are to be set tied by a majority opinion of the Alaskan engineering commission, as outlined in the last paragraph of the commissions letter of February 7, 1915, and approved by the secretary of the interior, I would be entirely without authority to make definite decision in answer to your request without first referring the matter to the other members of the commission and to the secretary at Washington.

SYNOPSIS,

Mary Page. actress, is accused of the murder of James Pollock and is defended by her lover, Philip Langdon. Pollock was intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad- mits she had the revolver. Her maid testifies that Mary threatened Pollock with it previously, and Mary's leading man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis appeared from the scene of the crime IS a mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro duces temporary insanity in Mary. The defense is "repressed psychosis.' Wit nesses describe Marys flight from her in toxicated father and her fathers suicide. Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping Of Mary by Pollock, and Amy Barton tells of Mary's struggles to become an actress, of Pollock's pursuit of her and of another occasion when the smell of liquor drove Mary insane. There is evidence that Dan iels Mary's manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when a policeman offers her whisky.

Whatever doubts had fingered in the minds of the public as to the veracity and the strength of the defense built up by LangdOn had been shattered at one blow. For Mary, as everyone said, might indeed have been actress enough to feign madness at the sight of tho drunken policeman, but she could not have feigned that great bruise on her shoulder. The shadow of the gripping hand with those livid scars beneath it told mutely of how the cruel fingers had torn into the tender flesh.
 The newspaper bearing Dr. Fosters article on Progressed Psychosis" which the District Attorney had so sarcasti cally introduced as evidence had been bored over by every juryman, and from coast to coast tho dramatic sto:.:'

Serenely Calm and Smiling.
 of the scene in court was the one sub ject at the breakfast table of rich and poor alike.
 It seemed incredible to those who had watched the frenzied, screaming woman carried out the day before that she could ever regain her sanity. When she came in, very pale very wan, but serenely calm and smiling. nothing but the fear of being shut out from the final scenes of the great drama kept the crowds from wild applause.
 The prosecutor alone did not look at | her. He felt at that moment almost as if he hated her with personal vindic tiYeneSS. For he, too. had had an all night vigil, seeking some ruse or legal technicality that would keep the events of the day before out of the records of the case He knew only too well that any jury, having seen Marys seizure. would be readily convinced that she might have suffered in the same fash 1 ion on the night when James Pollock was killed. and that if they were con- 1 vinced of that. proving Mary's guilt was going to be the hardest struggle he had ever known.
 In consequence the opening hours of court were marked by a series of bitter wrangles during which even his honor lost his temper, and the restleSsness Of i the spectators became Opon disorder. | But for all his aciditE of wit and skill at argument it was a losing fight that l the District Attorney WaGed. He was conscious of that himself Therefore | it came as no surprise when it was at last brought summarilv to an end by the judge. who ordered the testimony l of the policeman as to Mary's madness entered as evidence.
 With a long breath of relief LangdOn turned back toward his seat. suddenly l becoming conscious that he was hold ing a crumpled scrap of paper which the bailiff had thrust into his hand some moments before. He remember | ed now that the court officer had said something when he gave it to him, bat he hadn't caught the words. and i: was with entire indifference that h2 Opened the note and read the hastily | SCIaWle0 words. But at the SiSnC OI them indifference gave place to excite ment. Crumpling the paper up in his hand. he turned sharply to the baiiitf.
 Call George Brennan" he said, and there was triumph in his tones.
 Brennan was the same cleancut young detective who had told of the disappearance of Daniels, and the first question asked him revealed what had l been in the note.
