ITALIAN CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIES SCENE OF
GREAT CONFUSION

Rome, Dec. lS.-FOr two days
there has been great excitement
in the chamber of deputies over
the discussion of interrogations
presented by the socialists con-
corning disorders at Lucca, in
which the socialists We're beaten
in an encounter with nationalist.
Signor Corradani, under secre-
tary of the interior, attempted to-
day OF describe the events as they
had been reported to the govern
mcut, but the socialists would not
allow him to speak, hurting in
suits AT him.
The tumult reached a climax
when the socialist I}runelli read a
message saying that the socialists
Bentini and Ciccolaf. ON their ar
rival at Bologna, had been beaten
by natiOnalists.
"Wen done, we'll done" cried
several deputies of the nationalist
eX-combatant groups One ma
tionalist added I'VE told YOU you
wouldn't be allowed to return to
Bologna"
This infatuated the socialists and
they threw themselves against the
nationalists. y vicious fight en-
sued. There were ten socialists TO
each nationalist.

CONTEMPT HEARING
AGAINST ARIZONA
COMMISSION HELD

Prescott, AriZ., Dec. 1S.-Rapli
hearing of arguments on demut-
rers and of contempt proceedings
against the state corporation COM
mission, arising out of the conten-
ton of the Arizona Bus company
and the jerome Union Stage line
over the right to operate motor
stages on the new highway between
Jerome and Prescott was held to-
day before Judge Frank II. Lyman
of the superior court of Marcopa
county. He was presiding in the
superior court here in place OF
Judge ]. j. Sweeney of the IaVa-
pai county superior court, who was
, disqualified.
His time being limited, Judge
Lyman FASTENED proceedings and
on leaving for Phoenix announced
he would submit his decisions in
writing, .,.,,
The contempt hearings resulted
from alleged action of the corpora
tion commission in citing the Je-
rome Union company and filming IL
$1,000 despite a restraining order
issued by Judge Elmo f.. Boillnser'
Of the superior court MohaVe
county, sitting in the IaVapal
county superior court.
The Jerome Union company was
held to be operating its stage bus
mess over the new road without a
certificate of convenience and ne
cessity from the corporation com
mission. Counsel for the company
has contended that the commission
has no legal right to issue such Ger
tificates which are alleged to in
yolve special privileges and eX-
elusive franchises. The commits
sion was represented in today ;
proceedings by Assistant Attorney
General Clyde M. Candy.

GETHSEMANE

In golden youth when seems the earth
A summerland of singing mirth
When souls are glad and hearts are light
And not a shadow turks in sight,
We do not know it, but there lies,
Somewhere yelled under evening skies
A garden which we all must see
The garden of Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways.
Love lends a halo to our days;
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar,
We laugh and say how strong we are.
We hurry on; and hurrying go
Close to the border land of woe,
That waits for you, and waits for me
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams.
Behind the misty caps of years,
Beyond the great salt fount of tears
The garden lies Strive as you may
You cannot miss it on your way
All paths that have bs en- or shall be
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane
All those who journey, soon or late,
Must pass within the garden gate,
Must kneel alone in darkness there,
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who cannot say,
mot mine but Thine" who only pray,
LET this cup pass" and cannot see
The purpose of Gethsemane

O1Rest Conductor in World
Runs Southern Indiana Train

IF Doctor Osler were to visit Or
leans. Ind, with side trip on the
Monon railroad, he probably would re-
ceive a shock--not so much from the
rumble Of the train but at John Bills,
age eighty-nine alert and active, its
conductor. Bills makes the round
trip three times each day between Or
leans and French Lick, distance Of
10 miles. He has been in the Monon
service approximately forty years, hav-
ing been a railroad man prior to that
time in the West during the pioneer
days. Bills is married, he and his wife
having made their home there for
many years. He not only performs the
usual duties of passenger conductor
but at times when it becomes neces-
sary to turn the accommodation into
mixed train, Bills helps out as a brake
man. AS the slow-moving engine picks
its way through southern Indiana hills
John Bills frequently may be seen
sealing box car and riding atop ms
train. He is the oldest active railroad
conductor in the world.

three months his losses amounted TO
nearly 300 sheep, valued at $1,000.
caused by six coyotes, which one of
ing July.
In western Colorado, in an area OF
about rs miles in diameter which was
poisoned two successive years,
through cooperation between local
stock growers and the bureau, sheep
owners reported formerly loss OF
about rs sheep day throughout the
season, but the destruction Of preda-
tory animals has been SO thorough
that at present the losses are nominal,
and sheep are reported to range freely.
sometimes unattended for several days
in succession, without loss.
In New Mexico, the wolves. which
were estimated to number between
800 and 400 at the time the campaign
began there, have been reduced to less
than 80 individuals, and this lumber
is now being steadily decreased by
the persistent campaign agains. them.
These remaining wolves are mainly ex-
perienced adults, causing annual
losses Of live stock amounting to
about $4,000 each. In southern New
Mexico the stock of wolves is con-
sStantly renewed by stragglers from
the mountains of northern chihuahua.
In addition to the ravageS from the
native predatory animals, live stock in
parts of Texas, Arizona and other
states suffer from depredatiOns by
dogs which have gone wild and have
taken up the predatory life Of wolves.
In some places the dogs join the
wolves, and the half-breed offspring in
crease the packs.
Numerous species of ground squir-
rels occur in the West, several Of them
having wide ranges and existing in
such abundance that their depreda
tons on crops and forage are most
serious, according to the biological sur
vey. AS with the prairie dogs, con-
tinuous Investigations are being made
to provide improved methods of
poisoning and of organization for
their destruction The poisoned grain
used for operations against ground
squirrels on private lands is prepared
under the supervision of field repre-
sentatives of the bureau and furnished
cooperating farmers at cost through
local organizations. In this way 1,349
tons of poisoned grain were prepared
and distributed during the year, and
nearly 10000 farmers took part in the
campaign.
Through the plan inaugurated by
the bureau of cooperative purchase
of poison supplies the saving in the
squirrel campaign, as well as in the
destruction of other rodents, has been
very great, as illustrated by Idaho,
where it amounted to about SIS,5OO.
During the year ground squirrels
We're poisoned and mostly destroyed
on more than 1.294,0O0 acres of public
domain and on more than 3.465, 600
acres of private lands. This resulted
in materially increasing the percent
age of crops harvested in all the states
where work was conducted and in in
creasing the forage output on the pub
lie domain
