Rome, Aug 3-P-Andrew W.

States Treasury, who arrived in
Rome today from Geneva. insisted
that his visit was absolutely Of a
private nature. He declined to COM
ment on financial or other topics.

Gently married David K. E. Bruce,
American Vice-Counsul here. While
Mrs. Bruce knew her father was
coming to Rome, his arrival today
was entirely unexpected through a
sudden change in his plans, and nei-
ther she nor her husband was at the
station to meet him.
Mr.. Mellon completed his first day
with a leisurely sightseeing tour by
motorcar. He visited st. Peters and
the Borghese Gardens, looking over
the beauty panorama from the Jani-
culum Hill, and then made rapid
jaunt to the nearby hill town OF
Frascati.
The secretary was entertained at
luncheon by Leon Dominican. the
American consul, and spent this eve
ming at the Bruce Villa with his
daughter and son-in-l law.
How long Secretary Mellon intends
to remain in Rome has not been de-
cided, and it is not even known
whether he will be officially greeted
by the italian government. He made
the statement today that he would
prefer not to have any ceremony al
all.
AS for reports that Mr.. Mellon was
studying conditions in Europe with q
view to laying them before Presi-
dent Coolidge. these were said to be
untrue, ii being explained that or
his visit to Europe the secretary has
been avoiding experts and officials as
much as possible.
No appointment has vet been made
for a meeting with Premier Musso-
lini or Count Volpi the finance min

Gunman Is Wanted
For Oregon Robbery

st. Johnsbury, Vt, Aug. 3-(P)-
Belief that the gunman who last
week held up Harry Dickens, state
motor vehicle inspector. was one of
the De Autremont brothers wanted
in Oregon for murder and attempted
train robbery, was expressed today
by =. L. Griggs. Griggs is a brother
of the owner of the farm where. the
motor inspector was threatened by
the bandit when he called to inspect
an automobile suspected stolen.
After holding the inspector at ray
with a revolver and disabling his
car. the man escaped in an automo-
bile.
Griggs said the man employed on
his brothers farm as Harry Ray"
bore strong resemblance to the pic

Ray De Autremont, his twin broth
err Roy. and younger brother. Hugh,
who are charged with attempting
to rob a Southern Pacific mail train
near Siskyou. Oregon, and with kill

of the train crew, in 1923.

Talks independence
OF Philippine Islands

Williamstown, Mass. Aug. o.-tH1-
The question of Philippine indepen-
dence has been injected into the pres
ent session of the Institute of Politics
as a major issue of discussion.
Statements by American speakers In
opposition to complete independence
were hotly contested by Filipinos dur
ing today's session, the second that
has been devoted to the problem.
Jose A. Santos. judge in the islands,
replying to the opponents of complete
independence, said:
1--WE stand for American principles
and we refuse to be argued into polit-
ical slavery"
He was supported by Pedro Guevara,
resident commissioner from the Philip

plea for independence. Both of them

New Trial Denied
Defendant in Case
Of Brooklyn Man

Alfred, Me, Aug. 3.-(P)-A new
trial is denied Joseph T. Lang of
Brooklyn against whom a verdict of
H2,542 had been returned for alienat-
ing the affections of Mrs. Owen T..
Hurtle of Eliot. Me-, who, according
to statements made on the witness
stand, preferred the bright lights of
BAadway to the sombre life of a
farm"
During the supreme court trial In
January witnesses declared that Lang,
who was a Brooklyn baniface, came
into the Hurtle home while the hus-
band was at sea as boatswain's
mate, and that Mrs. Hurtle went to
Brooklyn to live with Lang.
The rescript stated that there was
some evidence tending to connivance
as set up by the defense, but the jury
decided in favor of the plaintiff and
In so deciding made no manifest error.
The verdict of S22,542 was large, but
the jury was authorized to award and
probably did award punitive damages.
