ISLE OF ROMANCE
Monte cristo Famed in History
and Legend.
Run1or That Ex-President Wilson
Would Make His Home There
Awakened Worlds interest.

Newspaper reports TO the effect
that ex-President Wilson had bought
the island OF Monte Cristo in the
Tuscan archipelago, as the home Tor
his retirement, caused the Rome
Epoca To publish an interesting ac-
count of this romantic island, six
miles square, which the elder Dumas
assigned as d title TO the hero OF his
famous novel. THE Count of Monte
Cristo." Ex-President Wilson. says
the Rome correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Post in summarizing the
Epoca story, even had he so wished,
could not have purchased the island,
which is the property OF the Italian
state, and has been for many years
leased by the king Of Italy.
In the quiet days before the war,
Victor Emmanuel III and Queen Elena
used TO pass some OF their happiest
hours AT Monte Cristo. far from the
cares of state and not near the Italian
peninsula-for Monte Cristo is by no
means easily accessible. Before the
king, that well known sportsman and
Alpinist, the Marchese Carlo Ginori.
was tenant of the island, which he
acquired In 1889, and on which he
spent during his tenancy large sums.
Before his time Monte Cristo became,
in 1875, an agricultural colony, de-
pendent upon the penal settlement of
the neighboring island Of Pianosa, the
exile of Agrippa Postunus, the grand
son of Augustus, who, as Tacitus mar
rates, was there put TO death on the
accession of Tiberius. Earlier still,
between 1850 and 1875, Monte Cristo
was the abode of a strange visionary,
Dayide LaZzarettl, who lived in a cave
and fancied that, like st. Francis Of
Assist, he had received the Stigmata.
Shortly after the middle of the last
century an Englishman named Taylor
leased the island, laid out gardens and
constructed ponds, till he, too, disap-
peared from its history. At that time,
before the union of Italy. Monte Cristo
was the property OF the grand duchy
of Tuscany, which, in 1850. had sent
four soldiers and corporal thither
from Elba, whose successor was GER
tain NJ Abriel, Frenchman in bust
ness at Leghorn. In Abriels time the
population rose TO eleven, and the two
buildings were erected which form
the nucleus Of the present royal shoot
ing box.
For centuries before 1850 the island
was forgotten by all save Dumas and
his readers, most OF whom probably
knew not where 1t was or whether 1t
really existed. But there was a
Camaldulesian monastery there in the
Thirteenth century, of which the ruins
still remain, an evidence of the piracy
then prevalent in the Mediterranean.
Once, in 1241, Monte Cristo's white
conicaf rock appeared In world his
tory, giving its name TO the naval bat
tie fought in its waters between the
fleet of the Emperor Frederick ii and
the Genoese ships carrying more than
100 cardinals and other high dignita-
ries of the church TO take part I'm the
council convened by Pope Gregory IN
in Rome. The imperial admiral won.
and carried off his prisoners to Naples
and Sicily.

BURSUM MAKING A
DETERMINED STAND FOR
REASONABLE FRUIT RATES

Senator Bursum was very busy
during the week in the duty of Sc
curing lower freight rates on canta-
loupes for the farmers of the Mesilla
Valley, the freight rates now being
so high as to preclude the shipping
OF more than a portion Of the crop
to the eastern markets. After sev-
eral calls and interviews and the send
ing of a sheaf of kilograms, final
conference was called with Santa Fe
officials at Senator Bursum's office
on Saturday when conclusions must
be specially arrived at and relief af-
forded, or as a grave alternative Sem
ator Bursum will be forced to take
the matte up in the Senate as the
condition is a serious one to the can
taloupe growers of the southwest who
must soon begin to move their crop
or suffer great loss. The pear crop
too, is among the freightage to be
sent eastward. The cantaloupe and
fruit industry of the southwestern
states runs into many thousands of
carloads and prohibitive freight rates
would wreck the shippers not only
for this years crop but would make
planting next year seem purely spe-
culative venture.

STATE BANKS ARE

J. B. READ REPORTS

State banks OF New Mexico are ac-
tuany in better condition than they
were a year ago, although the state
ments of conditions-insofar as fig
ures are concerned-do not make so
impressive a showing. This is the op-
inion of James B. Read, state bank

on the call of June 80.

at $l,OO6, ,l0084.
On the liabilities side, there are
shown: Demand deposits, $l0,367 300

ends unpaid $l5,624OO
The official comment on general
financial conditions follows
While in many respects the fig
ures do not make as good a showing
as last year on the same date, the
general condition is believed to be
better and more stable.
