WHERE WAITERS ARE NOT ALL BEGGARS iRome, May 15. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Rome waiters refuse to. accept tips from patrons. Tips are rigorously sup pressed and nothing- can induce the waiters to violate the practice. Their insistence on keeping to the regula tions, however, is not motivated by any altruistio tendencies for one of 'the Rome waiters' "fourteen points" is that 20 per cent must (be added to the total of the Mil for service. An American, one of the latest ar rivals in (Rome, who is attached to the (American embassy here, was paying his bill recently when, on leaving a tip bf 30 'cents for the wai ter, he was astonished vto .find the waiter handing the monef .back to him. The American ' Immediately concluded that the tip was, not con sidered sufficient and that It .was therefore scorned. He was reaching into his pocket to reinforce his .grat uity when someone speaking English told him of the, Rome rule.; Therewith' he'pocketed the tip and wa.lk.ed out. r. . . iv ,, Large posters have been! placed la the restaurants andtea-rooms here announcing the action of the waiters. On the whole, the practice seems to bave satisfied the patrons,' who feel that they have, at least, been spared the annoyance, of the inevitably dis gruntled waiter. FIOUS, OLD INDIAN FIGHTER" (Continued from page 1) ' per, a notorious bad man and two companions. Owens bad been told that the trio had taken .refuge in a house near the railroad track. He rode down the street to the building walked up to the door and rapped for admission, with his rifle held in his right hand at his hip. Cooper opened the door and attempted to draw bis revolver, but the sheriff fired from the hip. Cooper fell badly wounded. At the same moment an other shot rang out from behind from the gun of one of Cooper's com panions, the bullet barely missing the sheriff's head. With his back to the second assailant, Owens threw his rifle over his shoulder and fired. The outlaw dropped mortally hurt. As the officer retreated a few steps he sa'w a man through the win dow maneuvering for a shot and again the sheriff's rifle spoke. The outlaw inside fell to the floor and died within a few minutes. It was Cooper, who had been shot first when he opened the door. Then the third desperado made bis appearance, running around the SAM NEAS Horse Shoeing and General Illarksmlthing Wood repairing on ull kinds of Vehicles l:ave one of the best of horse-' vhfirrs thnt the country af fords. 315 South 6th St. THE VERY BEST BALBRIGAN UNDERWEAR IX TWO PIKX'R Sl lTS FOli MKM Special Sale AT 0.1 t'KXTS tJARMBXT !.!!

June 26. That the mo torist may be protected from the in efficiency of untrained automobile mechanics and repair men, and that craftsmen may be protected from in efficient competition, the stale board of auto mechanics examiners, creat ed by the last legislature, is distrib uting application blanks looking to the early examination and. licensing of every auto mechanic In the state. The examining board, E. E.'Bog gess, president; H. R. Fancher, vice President, and Otf. L. Granning. secretary-treasurer, will have its head quarters in Portland, where applica tion blanks may .be obtained by ad dressing box 761, although appli cants for examination may secure blanks from their county clerks, or from local garages. Examinations will foe held In 15 centralis located cities in the state and will cover various activities of auto grades as well as the usual lines of motor re pair work. , The 'board will examine with writ ten, oral and manual tests, prepared, President Boggess declares, in an understandable manner, and the ap plicant may be examined in any or a31 subjects for which he, in his opinion, is qualified. Upon comple tion of the tests the applicant will be rated according to his ability in at least three classes. Deeming a purely theoretical ex amination unfair to many excellent mechanics who have had no theoret ical training, such tests will be omit ted. The classification of mechanics will serve the dual purpose of giving credit where credit is due and to act as an incentive to others to increase their knowledge and efficiency in their craXts. Mechanics who fail to take the examination will toe subject to a pen alty of $100. The examination fee will be 3. Loudon. June 26. Proposal that the 1'nlted State alone should un dertake the whole responsibility of the finances of .Liberia Is made by C. T). B. King, secretary of state and j presidentelect of Liberia, who la visiting here. Mr. King said the negotiations for a loan of $5,000,000 from the Unit ed States government to IJberla had not been completed. At present there was an international receivership to which Great Britain, France and the United States were parties. "As this loan is to be used in paying off the existing International obligations." said air. King. "It will necessarily follow that the United Stctes govern ment will undertake the whole re sponsibility to administer our fin ances. Negotiations on these points are now proceeding between the Am erican, British and French govern ments and there may be a withdrawal of Great Britain and 'France from the international receivership in Its present form; as the receivership has not worked altogether satlsfac torlly. "Tt would simply- mean that In stead of our having financial repre sentatives of three powers assisting us in applying our finances to the needs of the country we would have one set of officers and those nomt nated by the United States govern ment." Mr. King expressed pleasure over the fact that the 'British and French colonies in West Africa' proposed to bar out the Use of alcohol as a bever age. "We in TJberJa are In cordial agreement with this policy." he said. "and the adjoining countries may de pend upon it that if they decide to apply prohibition, Liberia' will work with them loyally and thoroughly." Concerning the condition' of the people of the negro race In America, Mr. King said: "If there are in the United States still any people of ne gro descent who are dissatisfied with their position there, Liberia stands open to them as a home and as an opportunity for the development of their national desires."
