Horses In Paris Disappearing

The horse soon is likely to be extinct in Paris. Ten years ago there were nearly 100000 horses on the streets of the capital. The first thing that struck the ear of the foreign visitor as he emerged from his train in those days was the tinkle of the cowbell attached to the neck of the cab-hOrse. Now there is neither bell nor cab-horse.
 Forty thousand odd horses are working in Paris but they are mostly employed in pulling trucks or delivery wagons. During the past ten years automobiles have increased threefold, notwithstanding the heavy taxation. from which horse-drawE vehicles are exempt and the exercising cost of the gas and oil. In few years it is prob- able horses will be seen only on the race tracks in France.

LEGATIONS HAVE
 MODEST HOMES
Austria And Hungary Buy Houses With Proceeds Of
 Old Embassy Sale

PARIS, Feb. 2.-(By Associated Press s.)-Austria a nd Hungary each have bought modest homes for their legations in Paris with portion of the proceeds from the sale of the old Aus trian embassy in the Rue Earenne. Un- like the Germans, who were fortunate enough to have their luxurious embassy in the Rue de Lille handed back to them after the signing of the peace treaty, Austria has been obliged to abandon the magnificent mansion and beautiful grounds willed by the Duch- ess Galleria to Emperor Francis Jo- The premises, which are now being used as headquarters for the arbitra- tion boards under the treaty of Yer sailles. presided over by former Presi- dent De. La Barra of Mexico, were SC, questrated.
 When the Austrians attempted to re- gain possession of the embassy. the French government replied that the situation surrounding it was not the same as that surrounding the German embassy because Hungary as well as Austria and the other states which are successors of the old empire had an in terest in the property. In view of the difficulties of arranging for return of the property, it was proposed by France to buy the property and turn over the proceeds to the reparatiOn commission. The Austrians had re- ceived offers running from 2O,OOO,OOO to 40,OOO,000 francs for the property.
 Took Modest Sum
 It is understood the sum which the Austrians and Hungarians found expe- dienti to accept from France was much smaller. but from the sale money re ceived sum was allowed each country which was sufficient to buy modest quarters, in harmony with the more modest situation ill Austria, as com pared with the flourishing period when that country's ambassadors gave bril- liant reception in the Rue Varenne.
 Austria's legation will be housed in the Rue Beau jon, while Hungary will have its headquarters in the Rue de Berri. It is understood the sale of the property was hailed as a boon by the reparation committee. whose working fund received considerable reinforce ment from the proceeds of the sale.

CYRUS T. WOODS,
i. s, AMBASSADOR
To TOXIC, RESIGNS

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Cyrus
f. Woods, American ambassador to
Japan, has asked to be relieved of
his duties in Toxic.
His resignation, J viewer, has
been rendered, it was officially eX.
planned today, because of the Ill
health of Mrs Woods mother and
has no connection whatever with the
crisis in relations between the United
States and Japan over the Japanese
exclusion provision of the immigra-
ton bill.
Whether President Coolidge and
Secretary of State Hughes have &C.
tually accepted Woods resignation
is not yet known. 1t is believed
however, that Mr.. Woods wish to
retire will be granted.
Mr.. Woods has been ambassador
to Japan only a comparatively short
time While American ambassador
to Spain, he was designated by
the late President Harding to en-
voy to Toxic, to succeed Charles
Beecher Warren, now ambassador
to Mexico.
Mr.. Woods was active in extend
ing aid to sufferers during the Jap
anese earthquake and fire and
worked hard in the interest of good
relations between the United States
and Jaran.
He was greatly distressed over
the proposed exclusion law against
Japan and sent a number of re-
ports to Secretary Hughes saying
enactment of such a measure would
be detrimental to American-Jap
relations.

Stone Mountain Has
Exception to the Rule
On Starting Life Poor
BY FRANK GUESS

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga, May 10.
The dope on riches and success was
upset here today when Charlie Flow
ers, constable Of the justice Of the
peace court of this district, made an
expense of one Otis Minnigham. A
group Of citizens were discussing the
various men of their acquaintance
who had started life with less than
nothing and reached that pinnacle Of
success where they could afford to
let the sheriff overtake them and
give him the laugh as they paid the
principal and interest due, when Of
ficer Flowers interviewed.
"Gentlemen,'' he stated, II remem-
Der when Otis Minningham came to
this town with hardly a stitch on his
back. He had no money, save a few
pennies. He began to buy up old
bottles and rags in and about town.
The citizens recognizing Otis en-
ergy. made up contribution of six
ty-five cents and bought him large
bag to keep his bottles and rags in.
Well, sir, he stayed around here
few days after that and moved to
Luxomni, and in ten years time
guess what he was worth"
Several made estima ton Of the
wealth possessed by Otis Mining
ham. One guessed one hundred
thousand, one guessed half a mil
lion, and one topped it by estimat
ing one million.
NO" said Officer Flowers slowly.
'he amt worth a cent, and do you
know, the darn fool went and lost
that bag"

WIVES Of STRIKERS
IN RUHR MINES DRIVE
WORKERS FROM PITS

BERLIN, May 19.-Desperation
has seized the striking miners of the
Ruhr. Their women folk are leading
the way to violence.
The strikers refuse fatty to &C.
cept an arbitration award which
lengthens their hours, while the
mine owners, meeting at Essen, &C.
copied the arbitration.
The government, according to Gus
tom, has no choice but to declare the
award binding.
Tremendous bitterness, suffering
and hunger among the strikers and
their families makes it seem doubt
full. however, that the governments
declaration will have any eff
feet.
Wives of the miners took the
initiative in sabotage. At Gelsen-
kirchen, angry women stormed the
city hail.. demanding issuance of
rations.
Rioting, led by miners wives,
broke out at Rotthausen and police
with drawn swords, had to inter
V:ne.
Ii the mines of Hattingen, wom-
en- rolled up their sleeves, seized
rakes and picks and hauled fires
from the pump furnaces, so that the
mines are in great danger Of being
flooded. They brandished heated
rakes in the face of men scabs. driV-
in5c the latter from the mines.
In the city on Sunday, something
new in the way of combating anti
monarchist demonstrations by Com
munists was tried out with success
by the safety police. Several hum
dred special trains were run between
this city and Questionable, and as
fast as groups of Reds showed up
at the latter town, and attempted
to break up "Deutscher Tag" cele-
brations, they were loaded aboard
the trains and transported back to
Berlin.
Uhlans and Fascist succeeded in
celebrating their "Deutscher Tag"
in the great hall at Questionable,
while the police repulsed successive
waves Of attacking Communists.
Three policemen were knitted during
a day and night of fighting, while
perhaps a score of Communists were
wounded.
