Count Joseph Primoli. now over
seventy and in such a CRITICAL state
of health that he is not expected TO
live through the summer, has just
beautiful villa-or, rather, palace-in
Rome, with all it's wealth of art
treasures and its unique collection of
Napoleonic relics. He is not unknown
on this side of the Atlantic, for he
paid a prolonged visit to the United
States some sixteen years ago, and
his Bonaparte mother was born at
as 1t is called, stands on the banks of
the Tiber, opposite the new Palace Of
Justice, with the principal entrance
on the Via zanardelli
Joseph Primoli is being roundly
abused by his Italian fellow citizens
, for making a present of the villa and
of it's contents to France rather than
TO his native land. They point out
that France already owns in Rome the
Farnese Palace, which Is described by
the inhabitants of the Eternal city as
the most beautiful palace in the
world, and which is the official resi-
dence of the French embassy to the
court of King Victor Emmanuel. 1t
dates from the reign of Pore Paul iii
of the house of Farnese. but was com
pleted by his nephew, Cardinal Ales-
sandro, under the personal direction
of Michelangelo. France has also the
exquisite Villa Medici, which, assign
ed to the National French Academy of
Fine Arts, has long been used as a
residential college for the three-year
| nC+- nT
full students and prize winners of the
Ecoie des Beaux Arts in Paris. 1t Is
contended by the Italians that Jo-
seph Primoli as a Roman noble, al
though great-grandson of both King
Joseph Bonaparte, the Bordentown,
eldest brother Luciep, should have
presented his villa and it's treasures
to the Eternal city instead OF rather
to a foreign nation.
When Count Primoli was in Amer
ica he was made much of as a par
ticularly favorite kinsman of Empress
Eugenie and also of that old Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte, who throughout
her long life used to be known in
Paris as "NotTe Dame des Arts" Her
salons in the Rue Taitbout were the
TSuO0ZNoUS lloI oNly VI every
that was most brilliant in. French
arts and letters, but also of most
foreign royal and imperial personages
and statesmen of European renown,
when visiting Paris. She was a per-
feet mine of information and of ex-
perience, and when she died she left
to Primoli all her art treasures and
the historical relics which the large
income derived from the Russian es-
tates which Car Nicholas had
forced her repfobate Demidoff hus-
band to assign to her when she left
him had enabled her to gather
around her. Indeed. she made Primoli
her executor and intrusted to him her
entire correspondence and diaries,
which have yet to see daylight It
was beneath her roof that he estab-
lished such warm friendship with
Alexander Dumas, the Younger, that
the great author and playwright
dedicated Demise" to the count.
Among the most remarkable treas
ures of the Villa Primoli is a portrait
by Leonardo di Vinci. painted in 1903,

ington Hotel block. Not only is the
congestion caused by so many cars a
menace to traffic, but there have been
times when hackers have violated
every rule Of the road in refusing to
break the line for privately.owned cars
to get to the curb. p. -
Local theatergoers have not only
suffered annoyance but at times ac-
tusl danger from the wild scramble of
some hackers to get fares. When the
theater let's out some OF these men
have resorted to every subterfuge to
procure passengers. They have broken
into lines OF cars waiting to get to the
entrance, at times with an utter disre-
gard Of possible collisions; they have
drawn up in front Of the entrance and
stalled their motors, hoping that by
the time they were told to move on
by the police they would have been
able to get a fare, and have resorted
to numerous other tricks which delay
traffic and result in congestion.
Stands have been provided for the
hackers at accessible downtown points.
According to law they must remain on
these stands. The police have an
nounced that the campaign has be-
gun for the elimination Of the ''loiter-

behind the department in it's effort to
provide safer driving conditions. The
Commissioners are to be congratu-
