Laddie Boy, pet and almost
constant companion Of the Presi-
dent. no longer reigns supreme at
the White House. From now on he
must share this Joy and distinction
with the little white English bull
pup which was born on March 4
last and presented to the President
a month later by a local admirer
and who since has grown to large
and ugly young manhood.
The newcomer. although unnam-
ed as yet, can boast Of a pedigree
probably as long and pretentious
as that of Laddie Boy. To settle
this score he has to go no fur

was "Tettrazini." famous as
show dog and for her sale price

MORE SWATTING URGED,
Health Officer Asks for Continued
Warfare Against Fly.

Health Officer Fowler today urged
the housekeepers of Washington to
swat flies as hard during August as
they did during June and July.
He expressed the hope that the
army of of swatters would not allow
their enthusiasm to die because the
new month was ushered in with a
moderate temperature.
There are many more hot days
ahead. he warned, and the house fly
will continue to be a nuisance and a
disease carrier for weeks to come.
Keep swatting until the last fly
goes down for the count.

SECRET DIPLOMACY
AR0USES ITALIANS
Pledge to Trumbitch in Fiume
Controversy Stirs Up Lib

ROME. Italy, August 1.-Secret di-
plomacy thrown out of the doorway
Of Italy's political house has returned
presumably solved the controversy
with the Jugoslavs and provided for
the independence of Fiume. This in
dependence was not desired by the
Humans and they demanded the pro-
lection Of the city's commercial pros
pefity. Such prosperity. ! am able
to say, after an investigation on the
spot. depends upon the city's control
of all the docks, basins and railroad
yards. which form an economic unit.
Article four of the treaty of Rapallc
presumably realized such economic
unity. Fiume was to become free
port. serving impartially the entire
hinteriand and especially protecting
the large Hungarian interests from
the Slavs.
Charged Secret Compromise.
Charges were made in Italy at the
time the parliament here ratified the
treaty that President Gioiitti and
Foreign Minister SforEa had secretly
compromised Fumes economic posi-
ton by private promise to Foreign
Minister Trumbitch to yield tn.
Baross. with the railroad yards on
the se-caIled delta to Jugoslavfa. thus
rendering the erhbittered Slavs in
dependent of Fiume and condemning
the city's traffic to stagnation.
Gabrielle d'AnnunZio used this sus-
picion as d preteXt for his Magalo-
manical defense of the city against
the government troops. When Clio
litti and Sforza were accused of du-
plicity they both formally denied that
Port ~Baross was formally promised
to Trumbitch. However. it now ap-
pears that the arrangement was ac-
tually made.
Italians Liberals Shocked.
This shifty conduct, particularly on
the part of Count Sforza. who is d
reputed defender of open diplomacy.
has shocked and disarmed the Italian
liberal elements. who are unable to
raise a voice against the harsh ma
.tionalist clamor.
The Italian goVernment, moreover.
is in condition of grave embarrass-
ment. The treaty of Rapallo was rati-
fed by parliament. but the private
arrangement was never approved.
The question is far reaching. l. Italy
bound by the secret promises of its
responsible ministers or only by prop
erly ratified agreements? Failure to
recognize the private understa nding
undoubtedly would injure Jugoslav
interests and would constitute in a
certain sense a breach of faith.
whereas its recognition means a re-
sumption of the disastrous policy of
secret diplomacy.

SHORTAGE OF MINISTER'S.
Christian Churches Have Difficulty IN

The Christian churches OF Kansas
are having difficulty in obtaining min
listers to fill vacant pastorates in the
small towns Of the state. according to

urer of the Christian churches of
Kansas.
1.-THE need for ministers in the small
parishes is very urgent" said Miss
Owen. THE work is becoming heav-

the smaller and widely scattered towns
in which there are Christian churches
are unable to pay a large salary to the
minister, the average salary attached
to a small parish being $500 per
year.
This amount. however, would sup
port>a single man in any of the small
towns. We are making every effort
to take care of these small churches
until conditions shall be such as to al
low us to obtain capable ministers for
work in this state"

U. S. MAY TKE-A HAND
Federal Authorities May Start Prose-
eution of X. K. h.

Dallas, Tex, July 21.-The Unit ed
States government probably will take
a hand in alleged operations in Texas
by masked white men, 1t was learned
from authentic sources this morning.
Federal authorities believe that whip
ping of persons by bands of mask ed
men is a violation Of a federal statute
enacted in 1911. This statute takes
the place of an older statute enacted
shortly after the close of the Civil war.
While no action has yet been taken
by government authorities against ac;
tivities of masked bands, it is known
that numerous complaints have been
received by government agents here.
Scores of complaints have also beeh
received by federal officials of the
eastern districts of Texas.
The federal statute under which
prosecution probably will be made,
was enacted by the Sixtieth congress
aud is as follows:
IF two or more persons conspire to in
Jure, Cypress, threaten, or intinidate any
citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of
any right or privilege secured to him by
the constitution of the United States, or be-
cause of so having exercised the same, or If
two or more persons SO in disgslise on the
highway or the premises of another, with
intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise
or enjoyment of any right or privilege so
secured they shall be fined not more than
5000 and imprisoned not more than ten
years and shall moreover, be ineligible to
any office or place of honor, profit or trust
created by the constitution or laws of the
United States."l

NO RUSH FOR LICENSES
County Treasurer Urges Auto Owners
to Make Application.


According to Tom Boyd, county
flicle who has neglected to apply for a
license at his office since July / is
violating the state law and Is subject
to arrest. -
There seems to be more or less
misunderstanding regarding the law
as to the amount of time allowed for
applying for licenses Boyd said to-
day. ASA matter of fact every own
er is supposed to make application for
a license after July /. The only grace
period allowed is two weeks for a
person to receive his new tag after
making application for it,
While there was a rush of appfica-
tons in the treasurer's office the first
OF the month the tags seem to be in
little demand in the county now, de-
spite the fact that there are probably
$500 delinquents. based on present
Figures. and Boyd's estimate of what
the increase in motor vehicles will
show this year. .
A total OF 9,27S licenses were issued
in the county during the year that
closed June 80. Boyd says the num-
Der should reach at least 10000 this
year but with only 6,4S3 applications
a lot of owners should get busy. He
says the office is entirely caught up
with the work now and is making re-
ports to the secretary Of state each
night
: The 6.4s3 applications made up to
noon today were divided as follows:
$50 automobiles. 734 trucks, lot
motorcycles. 20 motor car dealers and
8 MOTORCYCLE dealers

TOOK 100 BATHING SUITS.
Thief visits Bath House at Gage
Park.


Some cuIprit who visited the baS
house at Gage park some time during
the wee hours this morning can swim
and dry himself the rest of his natural
life so far as equipment is concerned.
According to reports made to the
police the bath house is minus 10y
bathing suits and 500 towels which
disappeared during the night. The
thief also appropriated to his own use
small cash register and two large
mirrors. There was no money in the
register.
From all Appearances the only way
the thief gained entrance to the place
was by scaling the wall and Chamber
ing thru the top of the house which
is open. He had no difficulty in re.
moving the suits or the towels but
broke the frame on one OF the mir
ros The mirrors were quite large,
one being five feet and eighteen inches
and the other three feet and eighteen
inches in size.
The police say the bath house is
unguarded after midnight and they
have no clues as to who committed the
robbery. The missing property did
not belong to the city but to James
Towne, who has the place leased from
the city.

NEW PARCEL POST SERVICE
Business Men Want System Between

Business Men Want System Between
United States and Cuba.
An organization of American bust
ness men is making a strenuous at
tempt to secure the establishment of a
parcels post service between the
United States and Cuba. The organ
ization is appealing to all the Cham
bers of Commerce in the United States
for assistance in-its fight.
The obstacle which stands in the
way of the installation OF the service,
which is equally desirable both to
Cubans and American merchants. is
in one of the general statutes of the
United States.
The laws of the United States pre-
vent the importation of cigars to this
country in lots of less than 5000 in a
single package. A package contain
ing 5000 cigars cannot be handled by
parcels post.
A law is pending before congress
whereby these restrictions on the i'm
portation of cigars and cigarettes may
be removed. Unless the parcels post
system is made available for the
handling of tobacco in these. forms it
Is pointed out, it is practically useless
With these restrictions removed, it is
the claim of the organization which
is working on the project, there would
be no difficulty in the establishment
of parcel post convention with Cuba
