Mariemont, Ohio, Operates on Community Plan
New Letters of Late
Car Nicholas Show
Distrust of Witte

MOSCOW March - P-No letters
of the late Car Nicholas have as
yet been discovered that are so frank
and self revealing in their contents
as those written in 1905, found the
other day in a wardrobe of his
mother, the Empress Dowager Marie,
at Leningrad, addressed to the
dowager empress.
In some respects they alter entirely
the accepted view that Nicholas was
hopelessly reactionary and opposed
every diminution of his autocratic
power.
He apologies in one of these for
having at the behest of Count Witte,
signed a manifesto which vitiateG
his autocratic power and gave the
Russian people constitutional liberties
for the first time in their existence
Nicholas wrote, 81 had no altcr-
native than to give what was de-
manded of me from the whole OF
Russia, even among those around
me I could only find one loyal friend
and that was Treopff, minister of
war. We are in a complete state
of revolution and the chief danger
is that the administration of the
country is completely disorganized."
In another letter, written preceding
the 1905 rebellion, he said:

mons where the children-and there
are plenty-romp and play. Ocoa-
sionally they give pageant in the
town schoolhouse for Mother Emery
and the townspeople.
Mariemont has two appurtenances
of a regular town--a fire department
and a police force. A big red ladder
truck reposes in a little gabled fire
house, and two men are on the force.
The police power is vested in one
man. This protection is paid for by
company of which Mrs Emery is
sole owner and stockholder. The
company keeps the streets clean, re-
pairs the houses, and runs the town.
There is new hotel near the town
center. Across the street is the
town newspaper and near the park
is the community church, expressing
in it's architecture the spirit of all
the faiths whose followers worship
there. OF course, there are a movie
theater, a grocery, a drygood store
and two banks. Trolley and bus
service links the town with Cincinnati.

French Farmers
Organize A Bloc

PARIS, March II R)-Farmers of
France soon expect to speak and
act as unit in telling the govern
ment exactly what they want.
They are organizing a national
system of chambers of agriculture
under the direction of the govern
ment, with central chamber to
act with authority. The plan has
been hanging fire for SO years.
Farmers heretofore, the city people
say, have contributed but little in
taxes. Their interests, however, have
been in the hands of politicians
dependent upon their votes but often
disagreeing as to their needs. Their
deputies agreed usually only on the
necessity of not making them pay
heavy taxes, for the farmers chill
dren have gone to the cities just
as they have in the United States
Commerce already has the same
system of chambers but the differ
ent businesses do not always see
eye to eye and they fear the, great

u. S. LEGAL AIDE AT e
WAS MESSENGER AT 20

PITTSBURGH, March 12 (P)-Prob-
ably the youngest member of At
torney General Sargent's national
legal staff is 23 year old Zeno Fritz,
originally of ST. Mary's, Pa, who
rose from messenger and telephone
operator to assistant district attor-
new in three years.
Fritz spent a year studying law
at Georgetown university in Wash
ington, and then had to earn some
money. He got a job operating and
carrying messages. At night he
studied law at Duquesne university.
Fritz was admitted to the bar last
November and soon his familiarity
with the routine of federal court and
the district attorneys office won
him a place as assistant to the
United States attorney for the western
district of Pennsylvania. His first
assignment was a liquor case.

EACH GERMAN PAYS
22 PER CENT in TAX

BERLIN, March 12 R)--More than
22 per cent of all that the average
German earns is paid to federal,
state and municipal governments in
direct and indirect taxes.
An exhaustive analysis of the bur-
den borne by the people since the
war by DR.. Herbert Conrad and DR..
Friedrich Raab, tax experts, shows
that the average person works more
than one day a week for the govern
ment.
While the national income has in
creased only from 100000 100000 in
1913 to $10,7OO,OOO, 900 at present, taxes
have jumped from one billion dollars
to two and one-third billions, the
report says. The average unskilled
laborer, it is shown, pays proper
tionately higher taxes than govern
ment officials, teachers, skilled work
men and office workers, and only
slightly less than bank directors
and professional men and women.

CINCINNATI, March 12 P)-In the
hollows of Ohio's rolling hills, ten
miles from here, lies the town that
Mother Emery built

it's citizens live a community life,

Cincinnati social leader and phil
anthropist, as an experiment in COM
munity living. She wanted to give

The Holborn labor party, which
has adopted Fung Saw and is support

NEW CAFETERIA DINERS

BERLIN, March 12. (P-Cafeteria

tion trains of the German railway
administration are being tried out in
the winter sport resorts of Bavaria
If successful, they will be extended
throughout the country this summer
On a stretch of Bavarian railway
there has been attached a so-called
Kitchen car" which is fitted out,
not like the more aristrocratic dining
cars, but with kitchen range and
plain tables. A cook is busy at the
range getting ready steaming hot
frankfurters and sauerkraut and SINH
lar simple dishes, and every passen-
ger helps himself on the cafeteria
plan. The ration is to be consumed
at the tables, which are without ta-
bic cloths or napkins. Insofar as
there is room on the range, travellers
can warm their own coffee or dishes
that they have brought along.

rench Churches Win
Right OF Procession
Under Court Ruling

PARIS, March IL (R-Religious pro-
cessions have been declared legal
in France and should not be for
hidden by mayors unless there is
danger of disorder.
The council of state, the highest
body that passes on official acts,
has quashed two orders by mayors
forbidding the professions and has
declared prosecutions Illegal, although
the. fines and Jail sentences imposed
have long been paid and served.
Much of the disturbances over
church professions has arisen in dis
tricts where there are strong COM
munist contingents, these extremists
frequently controlling the local gov
ernment. Priests and their parish
ioners nevertheless frequently have
defied local interdictions and their
attitude now is justified in law.

Weather Conditions
Cause Decrease In
Grand Canyon Travel

GRAND CANYON, March 12.-De-
spite weather conditions which were
abnormally badS travel to Grand
canyon national park during the
month of February totalled 1895
superintendent, here today.
This number represents a slight
decrease over the same month last
year. However, the worst approach
road conditions in several years re-
suited in a heavy loss in auto travel,
although 95 autos and 234 persons
entered by this means. The re,
mainder of the total, or 4,759, en-.
tered by rail.
Precipitation the past month
amounted to 4.39 inches and snow.
fall to 28.5 inches. The normal pre-
cipitation for the month is 1856
inches, and the snowfall 16 inches.
At present approach roads to the
south rim are in very bad condition,
although snow in this section has
practically disappeared. Motorists
should be advised not to attempt
the trip from National Old Trails to
the park until the first of next
week, and then to use only the
Williams road The main road is
closed for at least two weeks.
Ranger reports indicate severe
winter conditions on the north rim.
Recent storms have piled snow up
to depth of II inches at the head
of the Kaibab trail and 81 inches
at the north rim ranger station.
Based on these figures it is hardly
expected that roads will be passable
until about June 5th, approximately
three weeks later than last year.

"PUNCH AND JUDY"
is ART In FRANCE

PARIS, March 12 P-The "Guig-
mol" or Punch and Judy show, is
gaining recognition in France as an
art with its traditions, worthy of
preservation with folk lore.
Laurent Mourgent, who brought the
idea from Italy, in 1895 developed it
at Lyons, and his descendants still
present the old sketches written
around the characters of Guignol and
Gnafron.
The sarcastic humor that marks the
playlets, burns holes in political and
social bombast and the simple di-
rectness of everything strikes fire
with children and adults alike. The
guignol still plays mostly to chill
dren, but at it's best is appreciated
by all.

which will be less violent than the
Charleston and will be somewhat

quite unlike the waltz hesitation, is
under trial and is being touched

Every day we have had to adopt

constitution BY force of arms we
could certainly crush the revolt fer
a time but it would flare up again
within few months and we would
again be obliged to resort to force,

The other alternative is to give the

king Woolsey, who at that time

thing that | could not get across, as
there were around 20 Indians, and
