Shaft for Wife's Grave
Is Gift to Fiasciletti
Presented by Italian Sculptor
i'm Return for Courtesy Shown
Him Here hy Detective

Pietro Nardini, wealthy Italian sculp-
tor who lives in Rome, has bestowed
an unusual reward upon Detective Ser
geant Michael Fiaschetti, of the police
Italian Squad, for courtcsies shown
him in New York, it developed ycster-
day.
Two years ago Nardini, who was Wis
ting in this country, came to New
York with a letter to the Police De-
partment from Police superintendent
Crowley, of Boston. He was introduced
to Faschetti, who became his host.
Fiaschetti wrote letter for Nardini
which gained the visitor an audience
with Cardinal O'Conrell. Of Boston.
He also took charge OF the details of
the sculptor's passage back to Italy.
While the two we're seeing New York
Nardini learned that Fiaschetti's wife
was dead and that there was no monu-
ment over her grave
Yesterday workmen began erecting a
twelvefoot marble shaft at the grave
of Mrs. Fiaschetti in Calvary Cemetery
IT is scu' ptured and surlnounted BY
the carved figure of an angel. The
shaft was wrought by Nardini, sent to
New York and ordered erected.

Hughes Makes No Protest to
MEXICO Pending Farley S
O,er The PROMISED Trenfx

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-American
OF Company officials who plan to go
to Mexico City to confer with Mexican
government officials on the petroleum
question have been Informed by the
State Department that the American
government would be gratifed if the
question of the recently imposed tax
OH oil could be settled amicably by the
two parties to Tire controversy
The attitude OF the department is
understood to have been set forth sew
eral days ago to representatives, of
some of the American oil companies
who communicated to the department
q decision to confer directly with Mex
lean officials with view to reduction
in the recently imposed petroleum ex-
port tax Other American companies
operating properties in Mexico have not
adhered to the decision to conduct d.
rect negotiations, it was learned, sug-
costing that such a matter be left to
the State Department.
Protest against the increased tax was
placed before Secretary Hughes in the
form Of brief several weeks ago, and
about the same time the suggestion was
made by the department that treaty
Of commerce and amty be concluded be-
tween the two nations. 1t is under
stood that because of the negotiate ns
for the proposed treaty no repre-
sensations have been made to Mexico
with respect to the tax.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. %
Endorsement Of the Luzzatti plan for an
international clearing house as a
means of stabilizing exchange rates,
and Il declaration that the past failure

Senator Tittoni put the problem Of
bringing about an actual improvem emit
in exchange rates up 10 the indlvid dal

Each country" he said, "should do
all in its power to right its tax balance

War Finance Corporation of $500 000,-
600 worth of farm loan bonds and the
creation Of a new bureau in the De-
partment of Commerce to obtain in
formation as to trade conditions

the action of its committee in elimi
mating a section which would permit
government loans to accredited for
eigners engaged in expectation OF
American farm products, but added an
amendment providing for rigid restric-
tion of such loans.
Another House amendment would fix
June 80, 1922, as the date on which
liquidation of the War Finance Cor
poration would begin, with the capital
stock of the corporation Cancelled in
proportion to the surplus funds turn I'd

By a vote of 1876 to 1856 the House re-
jected motion to recommit the bill
offered by Representative Wingo
Democrat, of Arkansas, to reinsert the
eliminated Senate provision for pur-
loan bonds, and to add an amendment
authorizing the War Finance Corpora
ton to make direct loans to agricul-
turists.
The Senate without debate disagreed
to the House amendments to the bill
and Senators Kenyon, Of Iowa, and Nc
Nary, Of Oregon, Republcana and
Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina
were appointed conferees. An effort
will be made to hasten an agreement
the bill being on the legislative pro
gram which leaders hope to conclude

and Far Eastern question which the
United States desires. But while this
is true, the moral effect on Japan of
having conference between the Eng
lsh speaking nations in advance of the
big conference would be to stifen the
resistance Of the Japanese acains
what they might easily regard as a
combination against them in advance.
They m ght easily, in the language Of
the poker room. feel that they we're
going up against q stacked deck.
1nciden tslly, this government be-
lievcs that all Of the problems involved
are SO obvious that a preliminary dis
cussion Of them in a formal confer
ence would accomplish no particular
good. Everything that could be dis
cusscd at such preliminary meeting
IS being talked over anyway, the only
difference being that the dominion pre-
mlers are nos sitting around table
with accredited representatives OF this
government in Washington.
Harvey in Touch With Premie~s
Ambassador Harvey has been kept
fully advised by Secretary Hughes, and
he was in close touch with the domin-
ion premiers during their visit to Lon
don. In addition Colonel Harvey Of
course has been in constant touch With
the officials Of Downing Street, while
here in Washington there have been
innumerable conferences between Sir
Auckland Geddes, the British Ambas-
sador, and Secretary of State Hughes
So there has been no lack Of contact
and exchanging CT ideas, but, on the
other hand, there has been nothing at
which tho Japanese could point a
finger, for the reason that the confer
ences between Mr.. Hughes and Am
bias sador Shidehara OF Japan have
been practically as frequent and Of
the utmost Importance.
Even prior to the calling of the ar
mament limitation conference Mr..
Hughes and the Japanese Ambassador
entered into discussiona which had for
their frank object the elimination of
all controversial between this country
ard Japan. These conferences are still
eoing on. and hope is expressed that
several of the more vexatious difficult
ties may be smoothed out before the
armament limitation meeting is called
to order.

Sheep and Pigs
I'm Cellar Raise
Neigghborllootl Row
Brooklyn Resident Told His
Stable Permit Is Worth
less i'm Home and Forced
to Sell His Livestock

Thomas J. Hodgkiss, whose business
became widely diversified after he
gave up his saloon at Fourth Avenue
and Eighty-ninth Street, Brooklyn, in
Guiding deals in second hand automo-
bics, slightly used real estate, shop
worn sheep. a goodas-new pig and a
slightly soied elk, has had to con-
tract his ventures.
He has contracted to the extent of
the sheep and the pig, which for a
time shared the cellar of his home at
345 Eighty-ninth Street, Brooklyn,
with battered fivvers, player pianos
and other stock in trade. He never
dealt regularly in elk and sold the
only specimen on his shelves to the
Central Park Zoo long ago.
The reason his cellar looks so lone
some now in comparison to it's atmos-
phere is that neighbors complained to
the Health Department about the sheep
and the pigs. Rather than have any
trouble with the neighbors Hadgkiss
sold the animals, though if President
Wilson could have sheep on the White
House lawn he doesn't see why he
shouldn't have them in his cellar,
"ii'Sh' piOpelly speaking, DclOngS TO
him rather more definitely than the
White House lawn does to a president.
Il sold them last week." said Hodg-
kiss yesterday, because some Of the
Neighbors raised fuss about me keep
ing them here, although | don't know
why, for the sheep, which l bought
from the Park Department for specula-
tive purposes, were botherng no one
and have a stable permit to boot.
"Ihey kept sheep on the lawn of The
White House, didn't they? Sure they
did. Why can't | keep them on ny
premises. ] really never knew that my
stable permit did not allow me to keep
them here.
"The pig l had kept here for three
years Hodgkiss's voice trembled and
there was moisture in his eyes-"hut |
have sold him, too. The elk I sold long
ago to the Central Park Zoo"
