Russian Painters Thriving.

"Art," so far as the production OF
pictures is concerned, is said to have
had great boom in bolshevist Rus
sia owing to the fact that the govern
ment pays q liberal amount for all
works approved by official experts.
The whole. domain of art has been
placed under the control of council
of seven members, four sf whom are
apostles of futurism. Artists earn
ings have beer increased through a
rule established by the council un-
der which all pictures that pass the
judges are, to be paid for at the uni
form rate of 1000 rubles each.
Whether the artist has devoted
months of assiduous labor to pic
ture or whether it is daub which
has taken a few hours to paint, the
recompense is the same. With such
encouragement the number Of artists
In Russia is increasing rapidly.

GRAVE: OF FOUR pYN&S?IES
Ambitions OF Austria, Russia, Ger
many and Turkey All Lie Buried
in the Balkans.

We stood. on the forward deck OF

attic, at 20 knots an hour. Less than
a league away the Balkan mountains.
savage, mysterious, forbidding, rose
in a rocky rampant against the east
ern sky.
Did it ever occur to you" remarked
the Italian officer who stood beside me-
a noted historian in his own land
that four great empires have died as
result of their lust for dominion
over the restless lands which lie be-
yond those mountains? Austria COW
eted Serbia-and the empire of the
Hapsburg is in fragments now. Rus'
sia, seeing her influence in the penin-
sula imperiled, FASTENED to the sup
port of her fellow Slavs-but Russia
has gone down In red ruin, and the
Romanoffs are dead, Germany, seek
ing a gateway to the warm water, and
a highway to the East, seized on the
excuse thus offered to launch her wait
ing armies-and the empire reared by
the Hohenzollerns Is bankrupt and
broken. Turkey fought to retain her
hold on such European territory as
still remained under the crescent ban
ner. Today a poStmortem Is about to
be held on the Turkish empire and the
house of Osman.
''Think of It'll Four great empires,
four ancient dynasties, lie buried over
there in the Balkans. 1t is something
more than a range Of mountains at
which We are looking; it is the wall of
a cemetery."-E. Alexander Powell in

CHECK ON TRICKY "C0PPERS"
Simple contrivanee Prevents Fraud
on the Part Of Applicants for
Coveted Positions.

In Philadelphia the position of traf-
fic policeman Is open only to men
who are six feet or more In height.
Such positions are so much sought
after that many applicants who fall
short of the required height by only
small fraction Of an inch are tempt
ed to cheat a little bit by rising on
their heels.
An ingenious application Of elec-
tricity is now used to circumvent this
trick. and any attempt to register q
fraudulent measure Is disclosed at
once. The applicant, as he stands up
on the platform under the slide rule,
sets his feet upon two metal plates
that are normally a trifle above the
platform. They are just large enough
to be covered by mans heels, and
when the candidate stands with his
his heels on the floor the plates are
so depressed that they make con-
tact and form a circuit that lights a
lamp overhead. As long as the man
stands with both heels on the ground
the lamp stays lighted, but the mo-
ment he raises either heel the smallest
part of an inch the contact Is broken
and the lamp goes out. So does he.

PANAMA REFUSES
TO ACCEPT AWARD
United States May Have To Define
Position as to League of Ma
tions-White Ruling Re-
jected as Basis For
Peace.

washington, March 1V'-1seAo
of Panama to accept the White ter
ritorial reward as a basis for peace
with Costa Rica and appeal by Pana-
ma to the league of nations for
settlement of the dispute is expect
ed by some officials here to place be-
fore the American government the
probable necessity of defining for
the first time it's attitude toward the
jurisdiction of the league Of nations
in disputes on the American CONT
nent.
Panama in replying to the note OF
the state department last Saturday
demanding immediate cessation OF
hostilities between her forces and
those of Costa Rica, agreed to the
retirement of her troops from Colo
but announced the intention to keep
civil and police authorities in Colo
where they were prior to the break
between the two governments Feb
ruary Fl. Costa Rica, in agreeing to
a settlement on the basis of the
White award has withdrawn her
troops from the disputed territory.
The Panama note, the text. OF
which was made public today at the
state department, was understood to
be unsatisfactory to department Of
ficials. There was a suggestion, how
ever, that the counter proposal Of
fered Panama for mediation OF the
dispute by a commission of disinter-
ested persons might be used by the
American government as basis for
further negotiations.
Appeal to League
Although lacking official confirma-
ton of the appeal of Panama to the
league of nations, officials evidenced
interest in a press dispatch from
Geneva stating that the text of such
an appeal had been received by the
secretary of the league of. nations
there. The diepatch indicated that
the league of nations council might
give attention to settlement of the
conflict and in that connection it is
pointed out here that both Panama
and Costa Rica are members Of the
league.
The league was called on to take
cognizance of one dispute in the
American hemisphere at the meet
ing of its assembly last November
The Tacna-Arica controversy, in
volving Peru, Chile and Bolivia,
three members Of the league was re-
ferred for settlement by Peru but
later withdrawn, the representatives
of Peru expressing the hope that
when the question was submitted at
the next meeting the United States
would have become a member.

ARGUMENTS BEGUN
IN RAILROAD RATES
Authority of Interstate. Commerce
Commission Under Transporta-
tion Denied and Upheld in Dis
custom Before Supreme
Court.

Washington, March 13.-Authori-
ty of the interstate commerce COM
mission under the transportation act
to supervise railroad rates within
the states was in turn denied and up
held in opening argument today be-
fore the supreme court in the test
case brought by the state of Wiscon-
sin. y
Attorneys for Wisconsin and the
AZ states joining in the proceedings
declared The construction placed on
the transportation act by the COM
mission IN exercising control over
stat, rates to be destructive of our
dual form of government and con-
trary to the spirit Of our constitu-
ton" and to amount to"unified con-
troll over commerce"
Counsel for the railroads in up
holding the authority Of the commits
sion declared that the states which
have refused to approve rate in
creases within their borders to the
level of interstate rates as ordered
by the commission mot only are in
turing interstate commerce but are
claiming an unfair advantage Of
their sister states who have acted
liberally in the public interests"
The 43 states joining in the pro-
ceedings are attempting to obtain an
order vacating the injunction grant
ed by federal courts to the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad, pre-
venting any interference with that
road in it's establishment Of increas-
ed freight and passenger rates with
in the state of Wisconsin, as author
lied by the Interstate commerce
commission. Permission was given
the various states to file briefs and
to be represented orally through one
attorney acting for all. They select
ed John E. Benton, general solicitor
of the National Association Of Rail-
way and Utilities Commissioners as
the representative. The Importance
attached to the case was Illustrated
when the court allowed a total of
nine hours for argument. M. B. Old
rich, counsel for Wisconsin who
opened for the appellants. barely
concluded his presentation of the
case today and it was estimated that
the remaining time will throw the
closing argument late in the session
of next Tuesday.
The order of the interstate COM
merce commission affecting state
rates, Mr.. Olbrlch argued was Daseo
solely on the ground that state rates
below interstate tariffs amounted to
discrimination against interstate
commerce and the order, he added,
could not be sustained on this basis
since supervision of strictly internal
commerce was expressly reserved to
the states under the constitution.
The action of the interstate COM
merce commission was denounced by
Mr.. 'Olbrich as Gin excess of juris-
diction and an abuse of power"

the days of Washington and Jeffer-

After addressing briefly an exc

he presented the nominations of his
10 cabinet officers the new chief left
