ITALY OVERPOPULATED
 HAS SUBSIDIZED PEACE

ROME-The striving elements which threaten to topple Italy in the revolu- tion on the brink of which the nat4on has been poised for months are now sharply aligned, one against the other.
 Italy, populated and war-im- poverished, ahs been buying domestic peace by subsidies of one sort and another.
 D'Annunzio, poet -chieftain, leads and sheds glamour over the cause of the Nationalists, the Italians, the Irredentisti. The taking of Plume and the overthrow of the present govern ment, which has desperately struggleo to reconcile the conflicting forces with in Italy, may lead to anything, from internal upheaval to intervention by allied forces.
 Plume, with Trieste, the chief Adriatic port coveted by Italy ever since the downfall of Venice as a world power, has a population of 24,- 900 Italians, 15,000 Slavs and 6vUO Magyars, according to pre-war census returns.

COX AND MURPHY IN
 SPECTACULAR RACE

ATLANTA, Ga, oct. 14.-Today's Grand Circuit racing at Lakewood track here was signalized by a spec tacular race between Cox and Murphy, piloting respectively McGregor the Great and Mariondale, for a purse of S2.500 in the 2:14 class trotting event, the main one on the card. The honors went to Cox in straight heats.
 Geers started his Mamie Locks in this race, but his protege broke so badly near the half mile post in the first heat that she was distanced. Marindale made the Cox horse fight for every inch of ground. The best time of the meeting so far was made in the second heat when McGregor clipped off the mile in 2:06A.
 Louis Grafton, driven by B. Fleming won the 2;03 pace in three straight heats from field of four starters, sec ond money going to Bettie Blacklock, piloted by Walker. Best time 2:09A.
 The other event today was a 2:1S class trot in which only southern horses started and was won by Harry S., an Atlanta owned chestnut horse driven by Bartley. Best time 2:14A.

Sussak, the industrial suburb of Plume, has 11,000 Serbo Croatians and 1500 Italians.
 With such mixed population, gov ernment either by a Jugo-Slav state or by Italy would be fraught with pig possibilities of trouble.
 Professor Gaetano Salvemini pub lished during the war book in which he supported the liberal belief that Plume should remain an open port, under an Italian guarantee. The book was at first suppressed by the censor, but later released.
 Salvemini says that such a sur render of the Italian dream eneails great sacrifice and calls for high na- tional idealism.
 D'Annunzios raid was no spon- taneous, single handed affair. It had been carefully arranged. The Ma poleonic measure of preventing con- flict at home by precipitating it else where is regarded by the Nationalists as Italy's only hope.

GEORGE JOHNSON |S LINK ID MONLYHAM,
 NOW IN MESA JAIL

MESA, Oct. 15.-A smooth bad check artist was apprehended yesterday when George Johnson questioned a check handed him by M. L. Monlyham, alias J. F. Perry. Monlyham was pur- chasing hat and offered a check signed Frank Sayler. Being unfamiliar called up B. F. Saylor, rancher, and found that all checks issued by him were signed B. F. Saylor, and not Frank Saylor.
 Mir. Johnson then called the Tempe National bank and found that they carried no such account. Being con- vinced by this time, Mir. Johnson called in Constable Pickens and Marshal Warren, who found the young man walking toward Tempe just west of the Miller Peterson garage.
 Upon investigation it was found that Monlyham had issued several checks in Mesa, one of them to the J. c. Penney company. All of the checks were for s30.
 Later in the day the prisoner con- fessed that he was the man arrested in Tempe yesterday for passing a forged check at the Busy Corner store, but had succeeded in convincing the au- thorities of his innocence. He claims that he is IS years of age.
 At the time of his arrest he was wearing new clothing and had three Frank Saylor'' checks and some change on his person. He says that he walked in from Maricopa and is a na- tive of Texas.

 LOWER FURNITURE CO.

GLENDALE, Oct 14.-C. M. Harper, who recently sold his drug store here to C. M. Wood has entered business in a new line. He has purchased the stock and fixtures of the Lower Furniture company, and hereafter the firm will be known as the Harper Furniture company. Mir. Lower expects to re- main with Mir. Harper for at least a month. In an interview, MT. Lower stated that it was not his intention to leave Glendale, as he feels that this is his home. His reason for selling was simply that Mir. Harper offered him his price for the business and so became the owner. Mir. Lower is an experi- enced business man. He developed a fine business here with the Glendale Grocery company, which he sold about a year ago to Messrs. Schwartin.y and Thurman. Mir. Lower expects to rest up for few months during the winter and will probably erIer some other line of business in the spring.
