Th. witness said Straaebera- admitted this, and argued that It was better so. In order that there might be segregation. Th. representative Hebrews resent the Impression arising out of these cases that the Kosher restaurants In volved are places of common resort by them.

INCREASE VOTES 5,000,000 Xon-Expcdlt" Edict of Holy See Still In Force and rnles Modified Will Have Marked Effect. ROME. May II. (Special.) At the re-opening of th. Italian Parliament, the Extension of the Suffrage Bill will be one of the first measures to be con sidered. It Is expected to pass without any undue opposition or delay, and its effect will be to establish practically universal manhood suffrage with no restrictions on account of Illiteracy, and to raise the number of Parlia mentary voters from 3.000,000 to 8, Oou.uoo. There is just a possibility that a clause establishing compulsory voting may be Included in the bill. It Is generally expected that the ef fect of the new law will be to add to the strength of extreme parties Cath olic, Conservatives and Socialists, to the detriment of the moderate element, for, in the rural districts, where th. Increase of voters will be most notice able, the priest and the Socialist dema gogue possess most Influence. Pope's Attitude Only Surmise. Some Interest has been excited as to the probable attitude of the Holy See and of the Roman Catholic, Elec toral, and other unions towards the principle of universal suffrage and to th. proposed bill. The presidents of the five Catholic unions have Issued a pronouncement to the effect that there Is nothing In Catholic doctrine that Is opposed to universal suffrage: that It Is the duty of every Roman Catholic as a citizen to use his vote for the purpose of good and to defeat evil; that this duty is more than ever in cumbent at the present moment when the enemies of religion are working bard to Influence the less educated among the people: and that Roman Catholics will consequently fall into Hue with the bill always with due re gard to the higher law and th. In structions of the church. Na.-Expedlt I. la Force. This pronouncement has been taken In some quarters to mean that the famous "non-expedlt," which forbade Roman Catholics to tak. any public part In the affairs of United Italy, has been or Is to be abolished, or. at any rate, relaxed. The "non-expedif Is a Papal pronouncement which can only be changed by an equally solemn de claration from the Pope: and there la not the Slightest possibility of such a thing occurring. The protest of Plus IX against th. entry Into Rome in ls70 and confiscation of th. church's possessions was endorsed by both his successors, and stands as stronir In principle today as It did then. Epis copal permission Is necessary to enable Catholics to vote at an election In any diocese. It will he found, however, as far as the principle is concerned, that a re sult of the new universal suffrage law, as regards Catholic voters, will be that. Instead of permission being necessary to vote, votes will be given as a matter of course except In very rare. Instances, when special considera tions Influence the Holy See to apply the principle. Between 90 and 95 per cent of the Italians are still Roman Catholics, but unless the five unions find means which seem to be at present lacking to translate their pronouncements into effective action, the gainers In Par liament will be. firstly, the Socialists, through their organisation and never ceasing activity, and secondly, the Government of the day. by means of th. Influence, direct and Indirect, they are able to exert through their nomi nees, the Prefects In each district. uroirs- time ACID TREATMENT BEAMS FAMOUS RHEUMATISM CURED Crowds In daily increasing numbers hav been turning out all this week tomet th local expert representative of Prof. J.

My troubles grew con stantly worse and I became despond ent, nervous and irritable. At times I could not sleep at night for the agony. I had begun to wonder if mine waa a hopeless case.

POETS Port Lanreat of England Slow to Respond, However. LONDON'. May 11. (Special.) Th. poets have been quick to voice the grief of the community over the Ti tanic disaster, although England's poet laureate. Sir Alfred Austin, did not Immediately lay an official tribute of song at th. feet of the brave dead. Hall Caine's hymn on the foundering of the Titanic was sung on both sides of the Atlantic. But perhaps the best lines cam. from Alfred Xoyes. One of his fine verses declared: If th. noon thsy doubted. In the night Ther nevrr ewsrved. Death had no po.cr to appal. There was on. way. one truth, one life, one llsht. On iov. that soared triumphant over all. Among th. novelists. Elinor Glyn gave xpr.sslon to a heartfelt tribute to tn. genius of Marconi, by whose means her "dear ones" were saved from a hideous death. The reference Is to Lady Duff alordon, who Is the gifted novelist's sister. People who look for warnings have pointed out an unheeded admonition of 24 years, to be found in Sir Rider Hag gard's novel. "Mr. Meeson's tYill. In the preface he explains that he believes the chapter which tells of th. loss of the R. M. 8. Kangaroo to be "a fair and in the main, an accurate account of what must on. day will, happen upon a large and crowded liner in the event of such a collision as that de scribed, or of her rapid foundering from any other cause. And It Is a re markable thing that people who for the most part set a sufficient value on their lives dally consent to go to th. sea In ships, the boats of which could not on emergency possibly contain halt their number." SMUGGLING PLOT IS OUT Italian-Swiss Conspiracy Unearthed by Customs Official. ROME. May 11. (Special.) Follow ing a chance discovery by a frontier customs officer, a vast conspiracy has been unearthed for cheating th. Italian revenue by organized smuggling. So successfully had the scheme worked that it has been providing snug profits for a strong syndicate for a long time. Th. pron. has not entended to Its limit, but It Is clear that nearly 2000 Italians are Involved In the operations, tn say nothing of rwisa accomplices. They began n a small scale, but. em boldened by success, their operations extended, till at the time of discovery quite half the Swiss frontier was cor rupted to the smuggling game. It is believed that several minor cus toms men were concerned in the illicit traffic In Swiss produce, such as sugar, watches and Jewelry, and many rail way employes are under arrest on sus picion of being in the pay of the smug glers. A score or more of merchants and agents have suddenly disappeared, bonis papers have been seized, from which it appears certain that the transactions have been on such a prof itable footing that periodical Interest on a liberal scale has been paid secret ly to the syndlcat. members in the past two years. CRETAN PROBLEM VEXES King f Greece Desires Intervention of Great rowers. BERLIN. May 18. In an Interview with a representative of the "Berliner Tageblatt." the Kins of Greece is rep resented to have said: "My land needs repose, much repose. tV. desire peace. I assure you, today, as we have so often declared. But this mischievous Cretan question always conies Into the foreground of public opinion, and makes It extraordinarily dUficult for we politicians to carry out the desired policy of repose. You know that the solution of the Cretan ques tion does not lie in the power of Greece, but that other factors play quite a part. Greece expects from the great powers that they will lighten her task of maintaining poavce and them selves allay th. Cretan imbroglio as speedily as possible. I appeal to the great powers. "At the last election the Cretans choso Deputies and wanted to send them up to the Chamber of Athens. Turkey became very nervous at this prospect.
