On Increase Plea.
OIL SHORTAGE FELT

Adoption of an increased nat rate
for gas to continue over an expert
mental period of three months was
proposed by Howard s. Reeside.
president OF the Washington Gas
Light Company. at the close of the
Public Utilities Commission hearing
on . proposed increase in gas rates.
in the ONCE Of Engineer Commits
sioner C. W. Kutz yesterday after
noon.
The idea originated with william
Mex Clayton. who represented the
Federation OF Citizens Associations
1T the hearing. Clayton suggested
that the gas company make estr-
mates on possible increases in gas
oil for the next six months and base
q nat rate, to continue for SIX
months, on the estimates.
Holds Company Justified.
Reside argued that six months
was too long q period, for, at the
present rate OF increases in the cost
of oil, hypothetical figures for the
six months might go wide of the
mark, making the rate either too
high or too low.
Clayton expressed his belief that
the gas company was justified IN
asking an increase, since oil for the
manufacture of gas has increased
d 900 per cent in the past three years.
He said that an official of the Bu-
reau of Mines had informed him,
while the war was in progress. that
oil-burning ships were consuming
nUNN l. ~ u.
had to be increased
He then broached the nat rate
plan and proposed that the COM
mission investigate the increase In
oil prices in their relation to the
situation in the District.
w. 1. Swanton, representing the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
tion, addressed the commission and
the gas company officers with such
rancor. inferring that the company
had no grounds on which to ask
an increase, that both commission
ers and petitioners became slightly
ruffled-

President Reside OF the gas COM

sumner more, he warned.

tors name has not peen mentioned
in connection with the present al,
legged conspiracy.
The Italian ambassador here made
no denial of the fact OF certain un-
rest in various parts Of Italy. How
ever, he pointed out that in this re-
spect Italy was Eot exceptional, but
only a piece of the worldwide fao-
ric.
The prophecy that the recent fall
Of the Nitti cabinet will prove to
be the straw that will break the
ca,,ers back Of monarchy IN Italy
was characterized as ridiculous.
Baron AvezzaDa repeated that all
troubles which italy might have
were at bottcm not political but
economic.
GaribaIdi's Sister Recent Visitor.
Baron and Baroness Avezzana en-
tertained Gen. Garibaldfs sister
Just a few days ago. She lately ar
rived from Italy, coming here TO lee
ture at Mrs. Henry Dimock's home
for the benefit of the shrunken
family fortune" of the Garioaldls:
The report from London declared
that the alleged Garibaldi-Gasparet
II coup d'etat called for the seizure
of the public buildings in Italy last
night. Because of the occupation
of these buildings by the police and
royal guards on Wednesday, the Mi
Ian correspondent of the Times sees
some truth in the allegation.
As a revolutionist, Gen. Peppino
Garibaldi has a worldwide reputa-
tion. He, like his historic grand
father before him, and his war
crippled father of the present day,
is a confirmed republican.
The hostility OF the male Garibal-
dis to royalty generally and espe-
cialIy to Italys reigning family is
no state secret. However, although
the Garibaldeans helped to take
Rome from the Pope in 1870, official
Washington gives little or no cred
ence to the charge that the young
Peppino and his red shirts" are
now planning to take Rome from
the king.
An Italo-Ameriean Legion.
Gen. Peppino Garibaldi has often
been a guest at Washington. But
his revolutionary activities in Mex
leo never endcared him to American
officialdom.
After our entrance into the world
war he wished to raise an 'Ttalo-
American legion" in this country
for employment at the Italian front
under his leadership. Such a re-
quest was turned down by President
Wilson, to whom it was put by
Thomas Nelson Page, at the time
American Ambassador at Rome.
Peppino and his brothers all
fought against Austria and Ger
many. Two of the younger sons of
the family fell on French battle
fields before Italy entered the con-
flict.
The sister, who recently visited
here, was a Red Cross nurse. Only
the father stayed at home, forced
to unmartial inactivity by old age.
There is a crown of thorns hang
ing upon the library wall of Gen.
Peppino's parental home at Rome.
The crown, with its Italian fnscrip-
ton, was once pointed out to me
by Peppino's sire, who interpreted
it as the governments gift to my
dead father for making Italy free"

The Boston Red Sox have appear
ed in many famous contests in their
nineteen-year career as a member of
the American League. In winning
six league pcnnants and five worlds
championships, Boston took part in
some of the most crucial games in
baseball history. 1t was the Red Sox
which were the opponents Of both
New York teams in their most i'm
portant games, and Boston won both
contests. The Red Sox won the
eighth and deciding game of the 1912
worlds series from the Giants on
Snodgrass' muff, and the deciding
game of the 1904 American League
season from the Yankees on Ches-
bros wild pitch.
But there was an earlier Boston
victory that still is dearer to The
hearts OF many OF the Hub fans, the
victory that stemmed the tide OF
Pittsburgh successes In the 1913
worlds series and enabled the Red
Sox to make the gamest rally ever
put over in a worlds series.
The bitterness OF the two-year war
between the National and American
leagues still WAS very strong at the
time that the Boston Americans chat
lenged Pittsburgh in the 1908 series
Peace had been made only the pre-

the old league retained strained rela-
