FOULKE CONTINUES STORYjnBAVELS Richmond Citizen Abroad Describes Beautiful Villa Near Italian Border.

Chief of 4fi00 Red Cross Nurses

We have secured a gaeoltne launch fwitta a comfortable little cabin -when It rains, and this puts us in constant communication with all parts of the lake, including Lugano whenever -we desire. Lugano is only half an hour away and Plero our motor-man brings all our provisions over every day. In addition we have hrought from America a canvas canoe (which Is an object of great wonder to the people hereabouts) and on calm days we paddle quietly over the still waters. 'Our life here is necessarily mostly upon the lake as we have no land communication with anything except by foot paths with the village to the

north of us and with tne Deautuui valley of Valsolda beyond, a narrow valley rising between steep mountain eides, with several small towns on the way up, aecesible by foot paths only or on donkey back If you prefer. I have said that our house is the last dwelling in Italy before you come to Switzerland. There is indeed a little cabin about ten feet square on a narrow ledge of rock at the foot of the cliffs right at the frontier, accessible only by water and this is occupied by two men of the Italian customs service who stop all the boats going toward Italy (except the steamers which have customs officers on board) and have the right to examine everything if they so desire. Customs Are Similar. There is a similar customs office on the Swiss side at the little town of Gandria. So we cannot go for our morning's provision;; without the liability of being overhauled each way, yet in point of fact these men have given us little trouble. A word, or perhaps a gesture, as you pass them by is generally sufficient. At the other side of the lake there are two similar custom houses, larger, and one of them (the Italian one) provided with a search light which flashes across the lake into our window every little while, the whole night long. In addition to this there are three tiny torpedo boats at Porlezza at the northeastern end of the lake, which sally forth on dark and foggy nights ;ind cruise in search of smugglers. For smugglers abound. The Italian duties upon salt, sugar, tobacco, etc., are many times tho original price of the articles and the conti abandiere, as they are called, do a profitable business when they are not caught, arrested and jailed. Just opposite us there Is a long series of stone fteps climbing the mountain from the lake just at the frontier, with a very high barbed wire fence and a guard above and

below to prevent any one from get- j ting over, but in Bpite of all pre-j cautions there are mountain climbers; who evade all pursuit or discovery and J come with their precious parcels for i sale at greatly reduced prices. j Overhauled by Guard. Yesterday we were overhauled by j the guard coming from Lugano with j tome new dinner dishes which we j needed for the table. One of the two i men accompanied us to the custom j house at Or'.o where the dishes were; taken out aud all duly weighed and we , were taxed fifty-six cents for them, i receiving as a receipt for this sum, i so elaborate a document that it might' have been a deed for a farm. In; answer to our inquiries as'to the state ! f the contraband trade, the collector! Informed us of the hard lives the j guard lived up on the mountains try-; Ing to prevent it and showed us a big j bundle of sugar which had recently j been c-pptured and the smuggler sent j to prison for ten days. j They might be condemned and sen-;

tenced to eighteen months, he told us, but added with a discouraged air, "I'hey are generally pardoned." Describes Villa.

Our villa has the most charming sit

uation imaginable. First there is the; lower terrace flanked by a wall which ! Is built up from the lake Itself and j now completely covered with masses ! of honeysuckle just ready to bloom, and in the middle an iron gateway and a broad flight of steps with a

landing at the bottom. On this terrace, in front of each of the two corners of the house, there !s a beautiful tall cypress treet. and between these two cypresses and flanking the front doorway there are two large magnolias and at the sides of the cypresses are palms and Palmettoes. Above the terrace there in a wall and a second terrace from which you can enter the house at either end and on this upper terrace there are four stately cypresses which appear to guard the building on each side and Hre quite symmetrical. Behind the house, terrace after terrace rises up the mountain where vines used to grow until the phylloxera destroyed them and where there Hre still a number of olive trees. Flowers bloom everywhere., the air is overflowing with the songs of birds, cactuses crowd through the crannies in the moss grown walls, the dull red stucco of the house with its complicated decorations now worn by time contrasts admirably with the dark green of the cypresses and the brighter green of the mountain sides; the views up and down and across the lake are incomparable. In all our travels we have not seen a building which, with its setting, forms a more perfect picture than this villa of the Marquis Brasati dl Settala. at Oria on Lake Lugano. (To be continued.)

GIRL BUYS FINERY

(Continued from Page One.)

gone to the Emery home. Arriving there he found the girl in the front room, apparently prepared to leave town. He took her to the Porter home. Both Nellie and Mamie vigorously denied any knowldege of the case. Returning to the Emery home Mrs. Emery handed the officer the handbag which contained what was left of the money. He then took both girls to police headquarters. It is not believed the Porter girl wag with Nellie when she burglarized the Milton home. Among the things purchased by Nellie with grandpa's cash were a sultcase, handbag, two pair of shoes, silk goods, raincoat, goods for summer dresses, valuable comb and brush, toilet articles and other things. The police are trying to induce the merchants who sold the things to the girl to take back what she purchased and refund the money. About a month ago Nellie Milton was released on good behavior from the Home of the Friendless, where she had been sent for incorrigibility. During her term in the homo she once escaped, but was apprehended and returned. Then she became a model inmate and was permitted to return to her parents. Charges are to be pressed against the girl now, and she undoubtedly will be sent to the girls' industrial reform school.

FEW COMPLAINTS TO REVIEW BOARD

Members of the board of review are not pressed with work. There are not many complaints except a few small ones on additional assessments. No corporations have been considered but will be taken up in a few days. Joseph Dietx, special assessor of corporations in Wayne township win bo called in as advisor In going over the assessments. This is the first year for some time that corporations have been doing so little business and have been employing so few men and this fact will enter in the considera-

tion of the assessments.

Factories in Richmond which have been shut down, have disposed of much of their wares and the material oh hand will not amount to a great figure when placed on the assessment sheets. The chief complaint among the few

property owners who have complained is that repairs to their homes have been assessed as additional improvements but that they are merely the repairs necessary for the upkeep of the property and should be left off the tax assessment.

Miss Jane Delano is the efficient head of four thousand Red Cross trained nurses, some of whom have already been ordered to Mexico. Miss Delano serves without pay and her official title is "Chairman of the National Committee on Red Cross Nursing Service." She is a graduate of Bellevue hospital, New York city, and has many times exhibited the efficiency of her corps In times of disaster. The present nursing service is almost entirely due to her efforts.

RETENTION

groups of twos and threes and held conversations in low tones. He cited the Dr. King affair when King was ousted by a vote of every trustee but one In the county board of education. A petition asking the county board of education to remove Dr. King and appoint a new trustee, was circulated among members of the trustees' organization for two years before it came to a vote. Howarth says he and George Pauiin of Webster township refused to sign the petition, thus preventing the operation of the "unit rule" system. Finally, after some trouble in disinfecting schools, Howarth joined the others and after unavailing attempts to swing Pauiin, the matter came to a vote in the county board of education with the result that King was ousted. Mason Against Cobb. Mandua E. Mason of Cambridge City, who is secretary of the board of trustees and a strong anti-Cobb man, was the one whe postponed the June meeting of the trustees fn which the Cobb matter was to have come tfp for final settlement as far as the informal organization of the trustees could settle It. Howarth said Mason did not notify hhn of the postponement of the meeting, but as he was in Indianapolis Tuesday and Wednesday he supposed that the meeting had taken place. He was surprised to learn it had not been held. Mr. Howarth also left the inference that he in not the only member that Is not "in on the caucus" of the board, but. refused to give the names of two or three others whom he said were in the same position that he occupies. Two Trustees Call. Dr. C. I. Stolemeyer of Jefferson township, and William S. Porterfield of Boston township, were the only trustees who called on Mr. Williams today. This is probably owing to the fact that trustees in outlying districts have no opportunity to hear of the exposures made yesterday by Mr. Williams regarding their caucus and "unit rule" system, together with the system of honor which makes their organization probably the tightest in the county. Mr. Williams said today that he believes there will be developments in certain plans being made to settle the affair within a few days. He made no stutement, however, as to what atti

tude the trustees took toward the exposures he made yesterday. For the past week there have been dozens of telephone calls each day to the superintendent's office by persons inquiring as to the status of affairs. The same has been the rule in the office of the township trustee, Mr. Howarth said.

Paris is said to posess more sundials than any other city in the world.
