'CARUSO SOLD OUT
Tenor Owned Practically No
Property in the q. s.
Had Even Taken Furniture to
Italy With Him.

New York, Aug. 5.-Enrico Caruso
left virtually no property either real
or personal in this country when he
sailed last spring to his native Italy.
according to Brrno zirato, his private
secretary and confident for years.
Even his beloved objects of art, his
ceramics, his pictures. coins and
curios, of which he had a marvellous
collection, were shipped to Italy, so
were all the personal effects and fur
nishings with which he had beautified
his hotel suite here.
Caruso's frankly spoken reason for
this course, tho jocuiarly expressed.
Zirato said, was the belief that he
might never get back to New York.
Mr.. Caruso owned no real estate in
this country, Zirato said.
LAS for personal property" Zirato
added, practically all of Mr.. Caruso's
stocks and bonds with the sole excep-
ton of a comparatively small block
of liberty loan securities which he
still retains in safe deposit vault,
were sold out completely something
like two years ago"

SANTA FE ISSUES ORDER
But New Ruling ON Vacations May
Not Affect All Employees.

Concerning the report which was
circulated Thursday to the affect that
the Santa Fe had issued an order
against further vacations and leaves
of absence by employees on pay, 1t be-
came known today that some kind of
an order has been issued on the sub
ject but its exact nature is not known
because none of the officials of the
company in Topeka have as yet re-
ceived it.
1t is generally believed that the
order will affect only those employees
working on the hour basis and who
draw pay for all overtime, and that it
will have nothing to do with employees
working by the month, 1t was re-
ported that the order was sweeping
one. taking in all employees. If that
was the case, it was pointed out today
that an official announcement would
have been made Immediately but since
none has been forthcoming officials
here are inclined to give little i'm
Dortance to the matter.

That the Des Moines street railway
needed an Scent fare or even more, in
order to continue operation, seems not
10 be disputed. But the outstanding
fact of the situation is that the peo-
pie refused to pay it. Theories melt
away before facts. If concern be
doing business at loss and cannot
increase its income, it must lower the
cost of operation or go out of business.
There is no other way. When the
people feel that there IS demanded
for any kind of service more than
they can afford to pay they will do
without that service. or obtain its
equivalent in some other way. The
steam railroads have been and are
going thru ar experience similar to
that of the Des- Mines street railway.
The trouble of the transportation
lines generally probably are due large
" to government interference with
the management. This applies to mu-
nicipaI lines as well as the other kind.
The roads are embarrassed and han
dicapped by legal enactments and then
left TO get out Of their difficulties in
any way they can.

Florida Postmistress Makes
Two Confessions of Guilt.
Tried to Cover Up $4,000 De-
falcations With Murder.
WANTED TO SHIFT BLAME
Dragged Victim and Called in
the Police Officers.
But Orlando Man Was Dead
When They Arrived.

Miami, Fla, Aug. with two con-
LESSONS from Miss Lena Clarke, for
mer postrnistress at West Palm Beach,
Fla, in their hands, federal and state
authorities striving to clear up the
mystery of the murder OF w. M. Milt-
more. at Orlando, Fla, believed today
their path has been made easier.
Chief of Police Vestal at Orlando
declared today Miss Clarke admitted
she had shot Miltmore. Previously.
according to postoffice inspectors, she
had admitted the theft of $4,000 from
a mail pouch while it was en- route to
Atlanta.
DefaIcations Piled Up.
Defalcations piled up bit by bit until
they reached a total of nearly $4,000,
bred fear in her heart, authorities al
/ ged, that drove Miss Clarke first TO
steal $4,000 in currency and then to
add murder to her troubles.
The huge sum in cash, it was de-
clared, was taken by Miss Clarke to
cover her shortages in the postofficS
at West Palm Beach. Then fearful
of shouldering the guilt, she lured
Miltmore to her room in an Orlando
hotel, according to the police, and
there shot him when he declined to
sign a statement admitting the theft.
Tried to Shift Blame.
Again, terrorized, according to the
police, she conceived the plan of tell
ing officers at Orlando that Miltmore
was the real thief, that he had been
lured to her room and drugged and
that it would be easy for them to ar
rest him. Police found him dead in
the room when they arrived two hours
after the time Miss Clarke said he
reached her room. He had been shot
thru the heart. She professed ignor-
ance at this turn of affairs.
Miss Clarke, according to her al
legged confession to postal authorities,
took 81 900 with her when she went to
Orlando. They say they found $3.50
of this sum in cash in the bathroom.

The opposition in congress to the
sales tax probably is purely political.
The members fear that the sales tax
may hurt them with the country. 1t
is said that the majority of the house
ways and means committee really ia
vors the sales tax. Chairman Ford
ney himself is said to favor it. altho
he has stated that it will not be con-
sIdered in framing the present reve-
nue. laws. 1t is also said, in explana-
ton. that he is holding the sales tax
back to combine it with the bonus
bill, and will thus try it on the coun-
try. excusing the party on the grounds
that there is no other way to raise the
money.

President Harding, it is announced
has made it known that he is OPP
posed to relieving American shipping
from Panama canal toll charges, on
the ground that such action might
cause trouble with England. 1t was
unnecessary to cite such reason. 1t
is sufficient that the elimination Of
the toll charges would be unfair to the
American tax payers, who would be
called upon to foot the bill and unfair
to the transcentinental railroads,
which already find it hard to compete
with the canal route. The roads have

the ship owners have no investment
