Ways of Gypsies in Marriage Matters

Tor their son, covetous wealthy candi-
dates are not always successful even
when bidding larger sums for the
maiden's hand
Such was the information cleaned
by John D. Greathouse, local attor-
ney, who was counsel for a Chicago
gypsy mother and father, when they
came here in an effort to take back
their daughter, whom they charged
was kidnapped, while the mother of
the bridegroom elect maintained she
had paid $1,000 for the girl as wife
for her son.

This Judge Needs Advice From Solomon

reported to the court, showed Sorine
was the father. This failed to satisfy
Mrs. Del Secco. Her attorney told
the court in effect:
"When the test was proposed Mrs
Del Secco felt certain science would
prove what she knew as the mother,
but when Doctor Abrams reported
Sorine the father her mother knowl-
edge belied the findings"
The mother and her lawyers re-
fused to accept Doctor Abrams YER
dict and Haig Patigan, San Francisco
sculptor and cluhman was called
into the case. He was asked to make
observations Of the facial planes and
cranial characteristics of the boy in
comparison with Sorine
Patigan filed his observations in a
report to the court, which We're ac-
companied by sketches showing, he
kaid, peculiaritieS common to both
Sorine and the boy. Patigan said he
did not regard his observations as
determining definitely the boys pater-
nifty, but would show a number of
points of.resemblance.
Thus Judge Graham has science, art
and the claim of a husband against
the word of mother as evidence to

In recent years certain gypsy par
ents, after obtaining money for their
daughters, have invoked the Ameri
can law and had the daughters re-
turned, just to resell them, according
to Mr. Greathouse. In most cases,
however, when the young sutton is
thus outwitted, his parents get their
money returned by going before
gypsy tribunal. A few of these cum
ming gypsies, however, fail to adhere
to their native laws and the gypsy
court decisions, and, with the aid Of
the American statutes, defraud par
ents of the sutton. For such an act,
however the gypsies are disowned by
their people, the attorney said.

OTTAWA, October 22.-Canadians

ROME CAFES HOLD OUT
GOVERNMENT REVENUE
Restaurants Heavily Fined for
Pocketing 10 Per Cent
Luxury Tax.

ROME, October 3.-Americans who
have paid the Italian luxury tax de-
manded in the so-called de luxe
restaurants of Rome will be cha
grined to learn that four Of those
restaurants which draw large num-
bers of visitors from overseas did not
turn that tax money into the Italian
treasury at all. but simply put it
in the restaurant cash drawer.
The restaurants which have just
been discovered by the Italian police
as collecting this money from the
public under the guise of a national
tax havexAll been brought to account
for the Illegal manipulation of ac-
counts. and have been fined 100000
lire by the Italian finance depart
ment. The Umberto restaurant paid
the highest fine, which aggregated
55S.S0O lire. The CASTILLO di Cesari
paid 1871 lire; the Regina. 391. 800,
and the Taverna Russia. 23.900 lire.
CAT normal exchange 100000 lire
would be equivalent to about $500. 900;
at current rates to about $40,000.)
The walters of these restaurants
would present the bill to the CUSTOM
ers adding on 10 per cent for the
luxury tax. No record was kept of
the 10 per cent on the bill, and, ac-
cordingly, no return was made to the
Italian finance department. When
the authorities discovered the ruse
they took the books of these restaur-
ants and placed a fine amounting to
the discrepancies.

TOXIC, September I (By MaiD.-
The Forthcoming conference in WASH
ington is fruitful topic of discussion
with magazine writer's, and a consid-
erable portion of the current issue of
the Taikwan (Outlook) is devoted to
a consideration of the subject from
various points of view. One of the
articles in question comes from the
pen of Yotaro Sugimura of the for
cign office. who directs his attention
principally to Limitation of arma-
ments.
This limitation, he declares, is now
a universal demand, arising, not so
much from desire to tighten ffnan-
cial burdens, as from fervent wish
to avert the horrors of war. Much
as this is desired, it is extremely
difficult OF achievement, not only be-
cause a numerical or financial scale
of reduction is not at all easy to
assess fairly. but rather because it is
almost impossible to fix a standard
of universal applica tion, and because
IL an agreement on standard should
be reached it would be of no practical
use without some organ by which
the agreement may be enforced.

war, or rather to guarantee peace.
because with the establishment OF
peace naturally comes disarmament.
The league of nations is good as Tar
as 1t goes, but it is far from COM
plete. in that it touches only the ma
terial side Of the problem.
There is, in Mr.. Sugimura's opinion,
no hope of lasting peace until in
ternational relations are regulated-by
the spirit of Justice and law. so that
settled not by force of arms. but by
an appeal to the law. This involves
a moral reconstruction of mankind.
which is still far off and must neces-
sarIly be of slow growth. Therefore.
the world must. in the meantime. be
satisfied with the next best thing. and

THEFTS OF FOOD SENT
RUSSIA VERY SMALL

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. October 20.-Thefts of
food supplies sent to Russia by the
American Relief Administration have
been very small, says letter from
Walter Lyman Brown, European di-
rector of the administration, which is
quoted by today's London Times. The
letter concerns primarily reports that
the Russians took large quantities
or supplies sent to Petrograd on
board the Danish Steamship
Phoenix, and Mr.. Brown declares the
loss occasioned by the action of long
shoremen there was only slightly
more than one-half Of 1 per cent Of
the cargo. He adds that this loss
could not "by any stretch Of the
Imagination be called looting."
Only 1870 pounds of a cargo of
1.37S.363 pounds was missing between
the time the steamer was loaded In
Hamburg until the. supplies were
placed in the Petrograd warehouses;,
and this shortage was inclusive OF ali
losses. Mr.. Browns letter adds that

TIGER HUNT WITH PISTOL.
Navy's Crack Shot Hopes TO Get
Big Game With Revolver.

Commander E. H. Cope, u. 8. n,
who has held the post Of paymaster
at Shanghai for the past several
years, is carrying out a wholly novel
purpose in connection with a big
game hunt that is to precede his re-
turn to America for a new assign
ment, as he has been transferred.
Having sailed from Shanghai in Au-
gust, he is going after big game in
Indo China, and he intends, he said
before he sailed, to shoot a tiger
with a revolver.
Commander Cope has long been
known as one of the best, if not the
best, revolver shot in the United
States Navy. He has captured vir-
Etually all the trophies for revolver
shooting in the far east
