‘ CONSERVATISM
OF OLD DAYS IN
ROME IS ENDED
/ _•_.
ROME, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—One by one the last bulwarks
*of conservatism in Europe disappear.
The Vatican, which preserves in its
life and ceremonials so many pictur
esque customs and ancient ways of
doing things, for a long time sterly
forbade the use of automobiles by car
dinals and other ecclesiastics. Fun
eral looking carriages drawn by black
horses conveyed the cardinals to and
from the functions at St. Peter’s or
to their visits to the pontiff in the
Vatican palace. Now several of the
cardinals, including the English Car
dinal Gasquet, have motor cars which
convey them everywhere.
Not so long ago the attendants in
Elizabethen ruff and doublet and
sword who marshal the spectators to
their places in the great Vatican func
tions, did not allow" the use of opera
glasses to watch the wondrous scene.
At the canonization of Joan of Arc a
body of photographers were permitted
to be present who took a film of the
whole ceremony, so that when these
picturesque historic processions mo
more occur, this reproduction will re
call it.
GERMANS SENT HOME
FROM AUSTRALIA
_
PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 30 (by As
sociated Press). — Germans deported
from Australia and Samoa were
aboard the steamer Main, formerly a
German ship, when it arrived here.
The Main is en route to Germany via
Panama. A former German governor
of Samoa, Dr. Schultz, two Roman
Catholic priests and a Lutheran min
ister were aboard the Main. Most of
the deported men were planters in
New Guinea and other Pacific islands.
English wives of some of the Ger
mans protested when placed on the
Main at Australian ports. Many of
the Germans, however, aided in the
work of getting the ship under way.
At Apia, while in the launches from
the shore to the ship, the Germans
sang their national songs.
* Influenza broke out aboard the Main
after she left Australia, but no deaths
resulted. At Apia the New Zealand
government announced that on ac
count of the influenza Germans who
desired to do so could wait and return
home by other routes. Only five ac
cepted the offer.
PROFESSOR DECORATED
FOR OPTICAL INVENTIONS
LONDON, July 30 (by Associated
Bjess).—Albert Abraham Michelson,
professor of physics in the University
of Chicago, has been awarded the Al
bert medal of the Royal Society of
Arts for 1920, with the approval of the
Duke of Connaught, the president, for
optical inventions which have ten
dered possible the reproduction of ac
curate metric standards and provided
the means of carrying out measure
ments with a minute precisian hitherto
unobtainable.
Professor Michelson’s contributions
to scientific research already have
been recognized by the award of the
Copley medal of the Royal Society and
of the Nobel prize for physics, both
in 1907.
CONVERT ASHES INTO
’ PAVING MATERIAL
--«
BERLIN, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—Out of the ashes left in Ber
lin’s incinerators from the city’s burnt
refuse, a paving stone is being manu
factured which is said to be as hard
and serviceable as granite. As Ger
many no longer can afford to import
paving materials, which Sweden used
to supply, the discovery of this cheap
by-product is greatly welcomed.
NEW DIVISION FOR
PHILIPPINE BOXERS
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30 (by As

SEAMEN ARE AGAINST
MILITARY ACTIVITIES
SYDNEY, Australia, July 30 (by As
sociated Press). — The New South
Wales branch of the Federated Sea
men’s Union voted that in the future
all of its members shall withdraw from
military and naval activities.
T. Walsh, secretary of the union,
says: “This is, we hope, the first step
to a general refusal by transportation
workers and ultimately all labor union
ists to countenance war.” Walsh is a
son-in-law of Mrs. Pankhurst, the Eng
lish “suffragette” leader.
MORMONS WILL TAKE
CENSUS THIS FALL
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 30
(by Associated Press).—A census of
the membership of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon)
is to be taken this fall, church author
ities announce. The last census, taken
in 1914, showed 403,391 members in
good standing. Taking of the census
includes counting Mormon peoples in
Mexico, Canada, England, Hawaii and
other parts of the world. Church of
ficials will not forecast the estimated
growth since 1914.
TRAFFIC CONGESTION WOULD
BE RELIEVED GREATLY THRU
LAKES-TO-OCEAN WATERWAY
r •
MILWAUKEE, July 30 (by Asso-<
dated Press).—Passage of a measure
to open the Greak Lakes waterways to
ocean navigation will find Milwaukee
prepared to become an ocean port, ac
cording to Phil A. Grau, business man
ager of .the Milwaukee Association of
Commerce.
“No change in the improvement pro
gram for the Milwaukee harbor will
be necessary to prepare for ocean ton
nage,” Mr. Grau said. “For nine
years, or since the organization of the
Milwaukee harbor commission, the
harbor improvement schedule has
been such as meets all requirements
for every variety of ocean tonnage.
Milwaukee commerce and industry
long has seen that the opening of the
Great Lakes waterways to ocean navi
; gation is one of the inevitable matters
of the future, however distant. Mil
waukee already is favored with one of
the best harbors iu existence, designed
' on lines that meet all requirements
[ for ocean tonnage. Shippers save
I much time through the terminal ser
vice, and much transfer expense. The
differential on coal alone in the Mil
waukee harbor is about five cents per
ton.
“Milwaukee, like many other lake
I ports, already has marine interests
! equal to most of the ocean ports as
j regards both facilities and tonnage
handling.
“If foreign shipments from the
j Great Lakes region could be started
I by water instead of being jammed
through railroad traffic to reach sea
board, 30 to 40 per cent of the present
traffic load could be taken off the rail
roads and the railroads will be kept
employed to their capacity in handling
domestic commerce which otherwise
would have been held.”
WILL REMOVE FEDERAL
EXPERIMENT STATION
RENO, Nev., July 30 (by Associated
Praes).—Construction of a building to
house the federal bureau of mines ex
periment station in precious metals,
recently ordered moved from here to
Golden, Colo., will be started next
month. The building will be near the
Mackay School of Mines. Members
of the station staff will be established
here before the first of the coming
year, it is expected.

HEAD OF HOLY
CITY NOW HAS
THANKLESS JO
JERUSALEM, July 30 (by Associ
ated Press).—The office of the gover
nor of Jerusalem, once occupied by
Pontius Pilate, is now held by Colonel
Ronald Storrs, a graduate of Cam
bridge university and son of the dean
of Rochester college, England.
His task is one to test the adminis
trative ability of any man. Jerusalem
is a city of disunions, where, whatever
may come of the future, for the mo
ment Zionists and Arabs are passion
ately divided, and to steer a just bath
between them and induce them to join
him on that path is thankless work.
It is to that task, however, that he
chiefly devotes himself. Twice a week
he has meetings of his favorite pro
Jerusalem society, where French, Ital
ians, British, Americans, rabbis, Zion
ists, leaders, commercial men of stand
ing and others who are in any way
prominent in the life of the city, are
brought together and in the course of
debate led to see that they have in
common a single citizenship. His
motto as governor is “unify and be
friends.”
Colonel Storrs was one of the prime
movers in the establishment of an in
dependent Arab kingdom. He is 38
years old.

“It Is Very Unclubby to Kiss the Chambermaid”
LOS ANGELES.—It is very unclubby to kiss the chambermaid. So the di
rectors of the Pacific Union club have decided, and for this offense against
club ethics they have summarily expelled Pierre €. Moore, member of and
roomer at the home of wealth and in
fluence on Nob Hill.
Moore went to a hotel, where the
chambermaids may or may not be so
particular—who can say?
And lest such an alarming occur
rence should happen again to some
staid and proper member, the Pacific
Union directors may substitute Jap
anese, Chinese or Filipino males for
the tempting chambermaids.
The episode was the principal
topic on ’change and up and down the
financial district ysterday.
“Can you kiss, or are you a member of the Pacific Union?” at once be
came a common salutation.
“Have you a little chambermaid in your club?” was another somewhat
more than familiar greeting.
And men hid their ha-has behind their hands as poor Moore slipped si
lently along the street.
Then they toasted kissing men and kissable chambermaids in many—
well, in many nut sundaes and soul-thrilling lemonades. And they sang and
sang:
Every little clubhouse
Has a roommaid of its own;
Every fond emotion.
By some kissing should be shown 1
Moore is a multimillionaire with two Domes for social affairs. His wife,
who was Miss Edna Davis, a 1909 debutante, divorced him last September.
