Enlarge Railroad Commission Legislation Proposed That Will Give Body Authority Over Steamboat Lines and Truck Lines Columbia, Nov. 11.?The legislature which convenes January 11 will be asked to make appropriations which will mako possible the enlargement of the work of the South Carolina Hail road commission, so as to cover the operation of bus lines motor truck lines ii d steam boat lines, in accord- j pnee with an act of the last legislature which authorized the commission to! regulate such public utilities. The j railroad commission went before the budget commission yesterday and it is stated today that the necessary Hems: for the enforcement of this now law will be included in the budget for the commission, to he submitted to the colons in January. rl 1 c'railroad commission prop r<o8 tc employ the necessary clerical bo'p to provide regular inspections, I he preparation of tariffs and sched'ilos of fares, and tho handling of com piai'.ts from public, in order that 'be requirements pi the new law regulat? ing bus, truck and steamboat lin^s ntight be carried cut. A Statement is? sued by the commis*.on today state* that heretofore none of this work has been done, due to the fact that the limited a: proprlations allowed the commission have not permitted the employment of necessary help, and the rresent office force of tho commis? sion and the commissioners are kept busy on lailroad matters. The appro? priation asked for the new work next year is said to be very meager and, wir rot edd materially to the cost of the railroad commission. The rail? road commission has had a large vol? ume cf work since the railroads were teturned to private owners.

"Attorney General Wolfe has been consulted concerning the scope of the regulations proposed to he issued by the department." .says the highway de? partment's statement. "and advises that it these regulations aro to go be? yond the plain provisions of the stat? utes, it will be better to have a law tmacted covering them before they are issued. He offers his services in pre? paring the necessary bill, if we will prepare and submit to him the regu? lations we desire to have enforced." Tho highway department is now working on these regulations. "Pend? ing the issuanco of these regulations," It is stated by the highway depart? ment officials, "appeals are being made to the public to observe care on the public highways and to carry out the requirements of local traffic regu? lations.

Art Relics for Italy Secret Agreement Made Between Austria and Italian Gov? ernment Vienna, Nov. 9.?The government thus far has refused to make public the secret agreement by which Dr. Karl Kenner, then chancellor, agreed to givo to Italy many valuablo works of art, manuscripts and historical relics, despite oVmands by art asso? ciations in inilut.itial persons for that information. The history of the matter is inter? esting and Tho Associated Press has b"*>n able to learn from authoritative sources some of its details. While the guarded admissions of the govern? ment generally are phrased in the fu? ture tense as to the delivery of these articles, as w matter of fact that are all understood to be now in Italian possession. Their seizure began when the Ital? ian armistice commission, under Gen? eral Segre, first arrived in Vienna in February of last year, the contention of the commissioners being that un? der tho treaty of the war of 1866 these treasures should long since have been delivered. Among the articles! taken by General Segre were the fa? mous tapstries of Mcntua and as re? gards them the Austrians conceded ti? tle and assisted in their delivery. Then began tho removal of pic? tures from the Hofmuseum and Acad? emy of Fine Arts which had been brought to Vienna in 1810 and 1838. These had been stored in a church in Venice, having been collected from many churches in the Venetian terri? tory. It was done by order of Fran? cis I. then sovereign of Venice which was at that time a part of the Aus? trian empire. The Austrians bring forward a supplementary treaty to that of 1866 regarding these ob? ject;!, intended to clear title. They render this clause as follows: "Aus? tria will keep (gardcra) the pictures oxiported in 1838 which his majesty, the emperor sometime ago gave to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and to other galleries in the empire." It is around the word "gardera" the Italians center their argument for possession, contending it means "take in custody" or "for safe keeping" not possession or gift. The Austrians say they ha.ve documents in the state archives to show that in return the emperor gave to Italy presents of art works far in excess of value to those in controversy, among them being the priceless collections Manfrin and Bos si. The Italians also took from the Na? tional Library or other places ad? ditional treasures such as autographs, musical books, and three manuscripts wouth several million.*: of dollars, one of which, "Tho Genesis of Vienna," is said to be the most valuable late Homan manuscript in existence. With all theso objects safe in Italy, when the peace conference began in Paris the Italians advanced further claims for works of art from Austria, demanding the pick of pictures from tho National gallery in Vienna and virtually all the brot.zes and statues made in Italy or that ever were in. Italy. The objects thus covered were estimated to be worth about 4,000, 000.000 gold francs. Their claims were rejected, how? ever, by the conference and then be? gan the Italian effort to effect a spe? cial treaty with Austria to obtain her end. The negotiation*- proceeded until this spring whet; Dr. Kenner linally signed it on the occasion of his Italian visit. Under its term General Segre's seizures are legalized and a large number of valuablo objects are ceded in1 addition. The most important aro the Re? liquary of Cardinal Bcssariorc and the Cross of St. Theodore. The first named is a remarkable specimen of the Ve? netian gothic goldsmiths art of the 15th century and the other a unique piece of Bystantine goldsmithy. In terms of dollars they are said to be beyond price. The agreement also gives to Italy a Quantity of bronzes, historical relics, manuscripts and oth? er objects, and bronzes of the Renais? sance, including Donatello's "Angel Playing the Tambourine" and two bronzes by Antico. The whole of the famous Duke de Este "collection is in? cluded. In return Italy renounces her claims to certain objects of more or less value, among them the corona? tion garments of the old German em? perors. Finally Italy promises her help to save the Austrian collections from the claims of other powers un? der article 1!)C of the treaty of St. Germain. According to report there was a verbal promise on the part of Italy lo assist Austria wherever possible in the boundary delimitations now in progress and certain other political as? surances. It is understood the Austrian sec? tion of the Reparation commission is making; inquiries into the whole transaction as it may affect the as? sets of the country to which the treaty of Si. Germain yives title. I Cheerful Funeral Service Berlin. Nov. 10. ? Wide-eyed mourners listened in amazement to Oberdadu Baader, Grand Exulted Rul? er of the Order of Dadas. a literary society which believes the drama ought to be made more simple, when ho recently preached a funeral ser? mon over the body ot Iiis wife. Smilingly the Oberdada walked up lo the coffin and in a bright and snappy speech explained he had no occasion to grieve. Death, he said, was? merely a matter of expansion, and he felt quite confident his wife was in a "wider life." At the conclusion of his sermon the Oberduda made a cheerful exit. New York, Nov. 11.?The World prints an article saying that tho Wall street, bomb explosion was caused by unemployed workmen seeking re? venge against Robert P, Brindell, president of tho Building Trades' Council, whose practices aro now be? ing Investigated, Hold Your Cottol Cotton should bring more money thai you are offered for it today and the best way we know of to realize a fair price is to store it and sit steady in the boat. It is foolish to let your cotton stay in the weath? er for the grade is already low enough and besides you need protection from fire and theft. Our regular brick warehouse is full but we took over the tobacco warehouse in. E. Liberty St., and it is rapidly filling up with cotton. Do you want space? If you do you had better speak up or better still bring in the cotton and get your receipt. The banks will appreciate a receipt if you can't (pay them the cash. Stick to your bank, you may need it again. . .. ^l^i.Jt Sumter Cotton Whse. Co. Dixie Land Hosiery Women of the South Urged to Wear Cotton Stockings Instead Of Silk or Wool Columbia, Nov. 9?"Wear stock? ings made of cotton, instead of the eight-dollar woolen and silk hosiery," is the slogan to be preached to the women of the state this winter in an effort to encourage the consumption of South Carolina cottcn. The South Carolina League of Women voters, co? operating with the South Carolina De? velopment board, today began a cam pa'in of education to this end. The ?plan was adopted at a meeting in Co? lumbia Monday, ot the executive com? mittees of the two organizations. "Cotton stockings, made in South Carolina, of cotton grown in South Carolina, should be worn by the wo? men of the state as a measure to help increase the use of cotton and there? by raise the price," said Mrs. F. S. Munsell, president of the league of women voters, today, in explaining the idea promulgated at the meeting Mon? day. The new woolen stockings the women wear, made of wool grown and spun in othert states, and the equally high-priced silk hosiery^ cost as high as eight or ten dollars, and the public spirited wome^i and leaders in the de? velopment board, take the position that the state as weli as the individ? ual would be benefited by the use of cotton hosiery instead. Armistice Day Proclamation Issues Proclamation For Armis? tice Day Columbia, Nov. 9.?Gov. Cooper Is today making a public appeal to the people of South Carolina lor a "prop? er observance" of Armistice Day, No? vember 11, which comes on Thursday of this week. The governor's appeal is issued at the request of the Ameri? can Legion ot South Carolina. The I^egion desires that the day be observed fittingly, in commemoration of the day that began the end of the war. In his public appeal the govern? or says that he believes this should be a national holiday, as it was one of the greatest days of modern history, a day that brought more blessing the world than possibly any other great Iday in recent years. In many parts of the state the day will bo fittingly observed. In Colum? bia the American Legion is staging a three-state aerial derby. Fourteen air? planes will feature a program at the State Fair grounds, with stunts of all kinds in mid-air. A young lady will perform in one of the planes. Many people from all over the state will attend the county fair at Orange burg, especially for the football game between the Citadel and Clemson on Thursday. In other counties there will be local events, (iov. Cooper will go to Winnsboro for the day, where he will deliver an address.

Oeneral trade conditions however, domestic and foreign, are discourag? ing, the situation in India reportedl critical because of the depression iu values due to weakness in exchange* and a glut of commodltiies on market and the same unfavorable featurcet are developing in South America.
