The station will not be called upon to handle much passenger traffic.
 The railroad is not destined to carry ordinary passengers, but merely the pope himself, papal nuncios to foreign countries, visit ing cardinals, bishops, nuncios, and heads of states, kings, princes and members of royal families.
 The road will do modest freight business, as foodstuffs and mer- chandise will come into Vatican City directly. In accordance with the Lateran treaties no duty will have to be paid on these goods.
 A great effort has been made to prevent the modern garishness of a railroad from conflicting with the architectural treasures of Vatican City, softened by centuries.
 The Vatican hill, into which the tunnel has penetrated, has beel ornamented with fountains, and landscape architects have turned it into a garden spot.

STOKOWSKI TO

yet offered over the radio and will
take up an hour and forty-fve
minutes.

century music, from the founding
of modern opera in Italy to the
great religious and symphonic
school of Bach and Handel, will be
surveyed by Stokowski and the or
chestra in this first concert.
Beginning with Monteverdi, ex-

REVOLVER BAN
GAINING FAVOR
TO CURB CRIME
Judge ChamberIin Reports
Progress in War on
Cum ToterS.'

Concerted efforts to reduce crime
by taking the revolver from the
criminals hands are drawing ma
tion-wide attention, according to
Judge Harry o. Chamberlin of the
Marion county circuit court.
Judge Chamberlin, who for many
years has been an ardent advocate
Of legislation to rid the country Of
the "gun-toter," today announced
he has corresponded recently with
Governor Franklin Roosevelt and
Senators Arthur Capper and Royal
S. Copeland on the subject.
Senator Capper OF Kansas has
replied he will re-introduce a bill in
congress next December designed to
prevent the sale, manufacture or
use Of firearms for private purposes.
Overshadows Prohibition
Il believe that a law to prevent
the use Of revolvers by criminals is
more important to this country at
this time than the prohibition
measures Judge Chamberlin de-
clared today.
Abuses Of permits, issued in most
states to persons carrying weapons,
are pointed out as one of the evils
that uniform legislation would cor
rect.
Judge Chamberlin, in a letter to
Governor Roosevelt, recommending
that conference of delegates from
all states be called to discuss the
question.
Governor Roosevelt last month
read message at an extraordinary
session of his legislature "advo-
eating measures now necessary to
uphold the hands of the police"
Use Spreads 'AIarmingly'
1T is necessary to strengthen the
laws relating to the purchase and
possession Of certain types of wea-
pons, the use of which by gangsters
has spread alarmingly during the
last few years." the New York Gov
crnor said.
Interest Of Senator Arthur Rob-
inson of Indiana also has been en-
listed in the movement, it is said.
Ills Office advised Judge Chamber
lin to communicate with Senators
Capper and Copeland.
An address delivered by Judge
Chamberlin before the Indianapolis
Bar Association in 1929 contains
many cardinal points in the pro-
posed legislation. The bar had this
address printed.
Uniform Laws Sought
The judges program as outlined
for Governor Roosevelt in a recent
letter follows:
l. The creation of national SEN
timent for federal legislation pro-
hibiting sale, manufacture or use
for private purposes of all conceal
able firearms"
2. Enactment by states of uni
form laws prohibiting private use
or possession of these weapons"
3. "An effective restriction, jn all
states, of pardons, and paroles in
all crimes the commission of which
is accomplished while in possession
of firearm."

Missile Breaks Into Frag- ments, Reports Pa

Not more than 100 yards direct ly in front of the motorship Pacific as she was voyaging close to Bro thers Island in Frederick Sound early Tuesday morning, a meteor fell, breaking into fragments juct before it plunged into the water.
 T was at the wheel" explained Capt. Paul Kegel, master of the Pacific. The moon was almost fu1l, but notwithstanding my at tention was attracted by a sudden illumination of the heavens. Look ing up, I saw the approaching me teor. It appeared to be about foot and a half in diameter in size Its color seemed white with green sheen. Tn brilliance it might be compared to a mercury light.
 Tn falling, the meteor describ- ed large arc and travelled at ter rifle speed until comparatively near the surface of the sea when the descent changed to perpen- dicular and became slower.
 Broke Into Fine Pieces
 Close to the water the missle broke into five pieces. These glowed like red coals for moment and then seemingly cooled to blackness for I lost sight of them just before they struck the sur face. After their disappearance, I looked at the clock in the wheel house. The time was 3:09 a. m.
 "The phenomenon sets a person to thinking" unused the Captain. Some scientists hold that the earth when it broke away as a particle or in gaseous form from some great celestial body was much smaller than now, and it has at tained its present size as a result of meteoric showers through a period

 Recent advances in halibut prices at Prince Rupert and Se- attle attract considerable atten- tion here but only few local fisher men are affected by them.
