ROME. 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

LIBERIA WANTS TO
ABILITY REQUIRED
OF AUTO MECHANICS
Portland. 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." '
