TOLD DORSEN
 TO CUT DOWN
 HIS BUSINESS

Harry Dorsen continued his testi- mony at the afternoon session of the hearing on the accounts of the re- ceivers of the Dorsen Dry Goods Com pany before Referee Banks yester- day afternoon.
 He said that after the receivers had taken charge of the business w. H. Willett, one of the receivers, had instructed him to curtail business as much as possible, to make window displays of the goods belonging to the subsidiary companies and that the goods of the Dorscen Dry Goods Com pany should not be displayed.
 Willett also told him not to have the annual August sale. which was one of the biggest sales of the year, and not to mention the sale to Di1- ion, because Dillon might get a bug in his ear and insist on the sale.'' E. H. Dillon, one of the receivers, was the Dillon referred to at that time.
 He also told me to fatten out goods and hide some of them under the counters" said Dorsen.
 During the testimony 1t developed that there were other subsidiary com panies doing business in the Dorsen dry goods store besides the Abel Company and the Dorsen Company. These were the Dorsen Cloak and Suit Company and the Owl Dress Company. In all of these companies the Dorsen Brothers were stockhold- CTS and officers. Attorney Wolfe said that he was trying to prove that one of the receivers had neglected and forsaken his duties as receiver and had failed to protect the interests of the estate and it's creditors and look ed after his own int%ests entirely and that these interests were oppos- ed to the interests of the estate and the other creditors. The hearing was adjourned to July 15 at 10 a. m.

Populace of Istria Perse- cuted by Austrian Com

COL, VOGELHUBER
 THE DASHING WAC
Arrival of Italian Troops Saved Citizens From
 Determination.

l CBy Willard Price in June World Out Iook)
 Colonel vogelhuber had had a good day.
 He was an Austrian commander in Buje, a. town of IStria---the land which during recent weeks has been claimed with much fervor by both Italy and Jugo- -Slavia- The country, although containing a. large Italian population, has for centuries been under the rule of Austria. During the war, Austria, fearing and hating the Italians of Is- tria, placed every town, under drastic military control.
 It was the chief task of Coolnel Vo- gelhurber, commander of Buje, to make the Italians feel his presence. They had felt 1t today. Incensed by his lat est decrees, they had come in crowds below his windows. discussing. gestic- ulating, angrily demanding an audi ence, until his troops had rammed them in the stomach with the butts of rifles and driven them off. Off to their homes where they would find that during their absence a few more objects had mysteriously disappeared. Woolen clothing, perhaps, or some pieces of furniture or a cherished pie ture. Not stolen, of course. "Reqm- sitioned." It was neat
 He had had a good day but he would have a better evening. They had wanted an audience. Very well. That evening he would grant an audi ence to their leading citizens More than that---he would dine them!
 The leading citizens of Buje will not soon forget that dinner. The meal itself was excellent---infinitely better than any that they had had for months. It consisted of meats "requi- sitioned from their own herds and fiocks, grains from their own fields. wine from their own cellars. The host, Colonel vogelhuber, sat at the head of the table, all smiles and be- nightly. He was soltcttous that every one should have plenty When the repaSt was finished, he rose
 He called the attention of the Ital- fans of Buje to the fact that he had sent very few of them to Austrian in ternment camps. He emphasized his tolerance and 1iberaHty in this mat ter. His action. however, had been guided by a definite purpose. It might please them to be informed as to the purpose which he had had in mind.
 T do not care to intern you.'' he said, in a smiling climax, because I prefer to execute you!
 'The troops of Italy are .ss .9esent making some advance. I vrsh simply to announce to you now that before they ever reach Buje shall have the pleasure of seeing every man of you shot. Goodnight, gentlemen. The pleasure has been mine"
 Then, showing the yellow streak all ways present in such natures he hastily summoned his soldiers, and every guest was escorted to the street at the point of a bayonet
 A gay, dashing wag was VogeIhu- Der. Dashing he was certainly, few weeks later, when the Italian Bersag- Here swept into Buje so suddenly that he did not have time to make good his promise, but found 1t prudent to run to save his own skin, even leav- ing a precious carload of stolen treas

ITALY DEPENDS

Rome. July 10.-Italy's lack of coal has forced her to depend more and more upon electric power. Dur ing the period of 1914 to. 1918 more than one hundred million dollars was expended on water power cleo tric plants by electric companies in Turin and Milan.
 ItalyS annual consumption of coal reaches 12,00O,0OO tons For all of it she is dependent upon either England or America The war naturally made the transportation of it a difficult problem so Italian engineers were forced to build large hydro-electric stations Italy could save at least three-fourths of her coal consump- uon, by using her water power &C., cordfng to Sfgnor Maffeo Pantaleoni, engineer and dean of 1talion econo- mists Much of it remains undevelop- ed.
