The Mitchel „wash! was stolen from in front of the Mayor’s home, 28 River- side drive, on Monday afternoon, but the police were so ashamed to think that even the socks of the Mayor were not safe in Manhattan, they censored the blotter and the news of the robbery did not become public until last night.

Mrs. * A OF Fs UWNERS, ENGINEER, CAPTAIN, INDICTED Officers of Company Charged With Manslaughter, Others With Criminal Carelessness. “SHIP WAS OVERLOADED” Grand Jury Recommends That Inspection Service Be Put Under Navy Department. By Associated Press, CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Indictments charging manslaughter ana criminal carelessness. were returned before Judge Kersten in the Criminal Court today in connection with the Eastland disaster. The Captain and engineer and four officers of the St. Joseph-Chicago Steamship Co., owners of the boat, are named as follows: George T. Arnold, Chicago, president of the company. William P. Hull, general manager. W. S. Steel, secretary treasurer. R. W. Davis, assietant secretary treasurer. Harry Pederson, captain of Eastland. Joseph M. Erickson, er gineer. Bonds were fixed at 8%, 000 each for the company officials and $10,000 each for Pederson and Erickson. The two last named are charged with criminal care- lessness and the officials with man- slaughter. Separate bills were returned against the captain and the engineer while the four officials were named in a joint in- dictment. Charges in Indictments. The indictments charge that the de- fendants xnew of the Eastland’s al- jleged unseaworthiness, that she was be- ing overloaded on the morning of July 24 and that they took no measures to prevent such a disaster as occurred. The report of the grand jury finds that the disaster was caused by “insta- bility under conditions of loading and States that the instability was due io ‘fone of the main causes or any two or all of them,“ as follows: The overloading of the vessel with passengers. The mishandling of water ballast. The construction cf the vessel. The jury recommends that expert Fed- cral at proval hereafter be requited for the construction of steam vessels, and constant inspection and supervision when in service and holds that water ballast shall be allowed only as supple- mentary to a more stable ballast and used only for trimming purposes. Reorganization of Service. We recommend,” the report goes on, “that the steamboat inspection service be reorganized in a manner to make all branches co-ordinate and thus eliminate the confusion caused by the statutes dealing special powers and authority to subordinate branches. Such service should be provided with technically ex- perienced inspectors, all under proper, systematic control.“ It is further recommended that the inspection service be removed from con- trol of the Department of Commerce to the Navy Department and that Illinois representatives in Congress endeavor to obtain legislation to this end. Four greai pumps had been at work cn the Hastland for several hours today with the expectaticn of raising the hulk to an even keel and recovering bodies and property on board. when it was discovered that water was re-entering the hull as fast as it was pumped out divers were sent below to search for the leaks.

With Breach of Promise. Mrs. Kathleen E. Gowdy, a widow, to- day filed a $250,000 breach-of-promise suit in the Circuit Court against Herman C G. Luyties of 38 Portland place, presi- dent of the Sanitol Chemical Laboratory Co., who achieved notoriety in 1907 when he traveled about the country with Mrs Emma Traunmiller, wife of J, J. Traun- miller, a St. Louis brewer. This escapade was followed by the di- vorcing of the Traunmillers and an estrangement between Luyties and his wife, which finally led to Mrs. Luyties obtaining a divorce. In her petition Mrs. Gowdy alleges that Luyties brought her to St. Louis from California and installed her as mistress of his Portland place home after promising to marry her. Says He Proposed Feb. 28. Mrs. Gowdy alleges that Luyties pro- posed marriage to her when she lived in California, Feb. 28 last, and that a short time later she accepted his invi- tation to come to St. Louis. Since then, antil recently, she says, she has lived at Luyties’ Portland place home, having accepted his invitation to go there be- cause she relied on his promise to marry her. In her petition Mrs. Gowdy alleges that, since going to his home to live, she repeatedly has endeavored to induce Luyties to keep his promise, but he has refused to do so. The suit was prepared for Mrs. Gow- dy by Attorney C. M. Hay. Before fil- ing it Hay submitted the allegations to the United States District Attorney's office for investigation as to whether there would be grounds for issuing a warrant charging violation of the Mann act, as it is alleged that the woman came to St. Louis from California on Luyties’ invitation and with his knowl- edge and connivance. Outcome of Civil Suit Awaited. At the District Attorney’s office it was said an investigation would be made, but that there would be no im- mediate action pending the outcome of the civil suit. Attorney Hay said Mrs. Gowdy’s home originally was in Illinois, but that she was living with a sister near Los Angeles when she first met Luy- ties. She is 29 years old and is de- scribed as handsome. Hay said she was in St. Louis, and no longer living at the Luyties home. He would not reveal her present address. At the Luyties home today a man who said he was a caretaker was the only person who could be seen by a reporter. He said Luyties had been out of town for some time, and he did not know his whereabouts. The caretaker said he knew nothing about the family’s do- mestic affairs or about Mrs. Gowdy. Herbert N. Arnstein of the law firm of Arnstein & Arnstein, which has repre- sented Luyties in legal affairs, told a reporter today that he knew nothing about the breach of promise matter. Layties on Pacific Coast. At the office of the Sanitol company it J was said that Luyties was traveling on the Pacific Coast, where he has been two months, and was expected to return home in 10 days. Luyties’ former wife, Mae C. Luyties, obtained a divorce early in 1912. She al- leged that Luyties had been friendly with other women and had entertained women at thels summer home at Ken- wood Springs, St. Louls County, while she was absent. The Court awarded to Mrs. Luyties property valued at $25,000, a paid-up insurance policy for $50,000 and $6300 a year alimony. While Mrs. Traunmiller was with Luyties her husband's mind failed and he was taken to a sanitarium. His friends said his decline was due to his family troubles. Mra. Traunmiller ob- tained a divorce at Rolla, Mo., Novem- ber, 1907. Traunmiller has since died. HONEYMOON | WIFE S BODY TAKEN 10 GLEVELAND Coffin Secretly Removed From Sleep Hollow Vault to the Lakeview Cemetery. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Taken through a driving hailstorm from the vault at Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, in which it had rested since March 15, the body of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller was buried yesterday in Lakeview Cemetery, Cleve- land. Such.secrecy marked the removal that only with the arrival of tne coffin at Cleveland did the plan of the family become known. It had been Rockefeller’s purpose from the time of his wife's death, March 12, to lay her to rest in Cleve- land, her girlhood home. The contro: versy over his taxes, which threatene? to keep him away from that city, and the fear that a demonstration might mark the coming of the body. led, how- ever, to a delay of four and one-half months. Meantime Rockefeller had gone to Cleveland for the summer, and when attention came to be distracted from him he set about fulfilling. his plan. Tried Out the Roads. Monday morning word was sent to Charles Vanderbilt, a Tarrytown un- dertaker, to prepare for the shipment of the body that evening. He got the permit for the removal, then tried out the roads that would have to be trav- eled from the old Dutch church at Sleepy Hollow to Harmon, where the Rockefellers board New York Central express trains when they halt to change from electric to steam power. The State road from Sleepy Hollow to Harmon is being rebuilt, and a four- mile detour is necessary. Vanderbilt covered the ioute before noon, and at 3 o’ciock the L-mile drive with the body was begun. Frederick Briggs, superin- tendent of thc Rockefeller estate at Pocantico Hills, was present when the coffir was taken from the green granite vaulc on the John D. Archbold plot. The only others there were the guards on duty, the undertaker and his men. No cne attended the body on its jour- ney. Vanderbilt sat beside the driver on the hearse, but no one else took part in the enterprise. Saon after the trip was startec a violent storm broke over the river hills, and soon hail was driving in a way that made the most careful handling wf the horses the price of safety. For an hour the storm con- tinued, and rot until the journey was near a close did it cease. Placed Aboard Baggage Car. The. coffin was placed aboard a bag- gage car of the Lake Shore Limited, which leaves the Grand Central Termi- nal at 5:38 o’clock, and reaches Harmon soon after 6. There was nothing about a rough box to irdicate its unusual char- acter and thos 8 * 1 * — ; ge : 5 1 17 —— — —— aw > 4 ** * 9 © 2 4 5 . 1 —— — that, according to his information, > that the allies’ action of two days agé successfully attempted to take the range of hills north of Salt. cupied by the invading forces as run- are wholly convinced that we can meet, te minimize the loss, but we are able toe | 1 4 | - |

GERMANS OCCUPY FORTRESS EAST OF NOVOGEORGIEVSK Strong Advances by Russians in the North Repulsed; Musco- vites Retreat South of Lomza. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 11.—The German War Office announced today The occupation of the fortress of Ben- jaminow, which lies to the east of Novogeorgievsk, the Russian stronghold on the Vistula northwest of Warsaw. The statement says: “The army group. under Field Mar- shal von Hindenburg easily repulsed strong advances made by the Russians during the last few days along the Riga-Mitau road. An attack by strong Russian forces from Kovno falled. The number of Russians taken prisoners there since Aug. 8 has been increased to 2116 and of machine guns to 18. “Bast of..Lomza our troops are ad vancing in the direction of the Bobr- Narew line. The enemy still holds tha bridgehead at Wiznia. South of Lomza the entire Russian line is retreating. The strongly fortified section of the Caerwony-Brok position could not be held by the enemy. Our pursuing troops crossed the Caerwony-Brok position and are advancing to the east thereof. The railway junction southeast of Ostrow Was captured. “East of Novogeorgievsk the fortress of Benjaminow, which was evacuated by the enemy, was occupied. Bombs were dropped by our airships on the fortresses of Novogeorgievsk and Brest- Litovs<. “The army group of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, during a sharp pursuit on the left wing of the allied troops, reached the region of Kaluszyn.

More than 1000 prisoners were taken. “The army group of Field Marshal von Mackensen is engaged in making attacks on enemy positions behind the sectors of Bystrca, southwest of Rad- zyn; Tismenitza, west of Karczew, and on the Ostrow-Uchruck line.” Russian Statement Describes Attack of Germans on Kons. PETROGRAD, Aug. 11.—The following official review has been issued follow- ing the receipt of details concerning the assault on Kovno, which the Germans undertook Sunday: “The enemy began an attack on the front of our works from the village of Piple to the Elisenthal front on the River Iessia. With siege artillery they began a bombardment at midnight, uti- lizing guns up to 16 inches. The hur- ricane of fire lasted not less than two hours and our batteries answered ener- getically. “About 3 o'clock in the morning the assaulting columns, in close formation, marched against our positions. By a concentrated fire, the explosion of mines and gallant counter-attacks by our troops, the enemy was thrown back slong the whole of the front. The weak- ened Germans, who suffered enormous losses, were hurled back into the neign- boring ravines, where they apparently began to prepare a fresh assault. “Sunday noon the enemy’s fire in- creased with terrible intensity, but this protracted and destructive hurricane from most powerful guns failed to shake our troops, who firmly withstood the hail of projectiles showering upon them. Our artillery gave valiant sup- “This incessant cannonade lasted all day. At nightfall the enemy columns, which had been continuously massing in front of our positions, again rushed to the assault, the attacks lasting two hours, and succeeded in taking part of our trenches on the lines of the ad- vanced os ae which his fire had CAPT. ata’ DOREY.

The Russians and Germans had main- tained a vigorous fire across the Vistu- la during Saturday. Throughout the day bullets whistled through the streets leading to the water front of the Polish capital. Nevertheless, the Germans calmly worked their way down to the quay and occupied in force houses and gardens commanding the spot selected for the crossing. This spot was just down the stream from the railroad bridge. Pontoons were brought up under cover of dark- ness, and the crossing of the river was begun et daybreak. As soon as the Russians perceived this movement thev hastily evacuated their positions and abandoned the entire suburb of Praga, firing the main railroad station and houses and burning their supplies before departing. About 15 civilians were killed and 200 wounded in the street fighting, many of them in the Jewish quarter. One shrap- ne] shell exploded over a street car. + — Germans Lost Only Two Mine Sweep- ers in Riga Operations. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 11.—Replying to the Russian report of:a naval attack against the Gulf of Riga by a German fleet of great strength, a semi-official statement issued in Berlin states that no great action was undertaken, but that German warships merely were rec- onnoitering to determine the position of Russian mines.

BEXLIN, via London, Aug. ll, 8:4 p. m.—An official communication igsiiéd here, tells of an allied air raid Mon- day over Zweibruecken and Sankt Ing- bert, Rhenish Bavaria, about 55 miles northeast of the French frontier.

LONDON, Aug. 11.— The German attack on the fortress of Kovno has been pressed closely. Reuter's corre- spondent at Petrograd points out that the village of Piple, on which the Germans have retained their hold, notwithstanding the fierce counter attacks of the Russians, is only six miles west of Kovno, on the left bank of the Niemen. Preparations are under way for the possible evacuation of the fortreas. All military supplies and Govern- ment properties have been removed and factories are being dismantled. A Zeppelin has appeared for the first time over the fortress of Dvinak on the Dvina, 110 miles southeast of Riga. Corps of Canadian Aviators Joins British Naval Fiyers. OTTAWA, Aug.

S. De- liberately Ignored That Fact. — — By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The Times pub- lishes a dispatch from Berlin which says that all or this morning’s newspa- pers in Berlin print an identical article which, while affording no clew to its rea: origin, gains ‘significance from the argument made. This is that British merchantmen are really franc tireurs (snipers) at sea. Particularly significant iz the insinuation in the last paragraph that President Wilson did not act in good faith in framing the latest Ameri- can note to Germany on the sinking of the Lusitania. The article reads: “The main argument in the United States notes is the maintenance of the alleged fundamental anc unchangeable rights of neutrals. The Government of the United States ‘cannot admit that the fundamental rights of its citizens can be surrendered merely because of a change in conditions,’ the Government thereby declaring that it is its inten- tion to stand on the greund of reality; but the Government of the United States—either from obstinate contrari- ness or obvious partisanship—is going on the theory that it has rot as yet been able to take into consideration the new form which naval warfare has taken and which, therefore, is to be consid- ered as not applying. “Merchant Ship” and Trade War. “Germany acknowledges in greatest measure in its naval war the same fundamental principles of justice and humanity as the United States, but the latter wrongly applies these funda- mental principles to totally new condi- tions and seeks to make the German Government commit itself to abide by the same conclusions resulting from 1 principles for the new forms of rade war as the United States has drawn. In particular, the remarks about trade war and the use of tho word ‘merchant ship’ in the note must cause strong resentment. “The United States itself, at the be- ginning of the war, had a feeling that the line between the merchant ship and the warship was not to be sharply drawn in view of England's favorite mode of warfare. This realization found clear expression in the State De- partment’s order of Sept. 2, laying down the rule that merchantmen of belligerent countries could leave Amer- ican ports if armed with guns and sup- plied with ammunition exclusively for self-defense. (The conditions for proo: that the armament was not to serve for offense, but purely for defense, wero, to be sure, very vaguely set forth in the order.) ‘Merchantmen-Warship Confusion. “In the same sense was the doclara- tion of Lord Cecil in the House of Commons, that the same principle, the armament of merchantmen for self-de- fense, was .niversally accepteds While, therefore, the notion of armed mer- chantmen was thoroughly familiar to the United States, which itself in a cer- tain way helped to bring it about through provoking the disappearance of the dif- ference between merchantmen and war- ships, the new note speaks only of merchantmen as if in the submarine wariare, after the English modes of procedure, there were any longer any difference to be drawn between mer- chantmen and warships. “In hostile England itself, if not by the neutral Government of the United States recognition to have resultant confusion of merchantmen and warships seeme already te have penetrated, as is shown by the following statement by the naval critic of the Daily Chronicle of July 6: „eit is the unpalatable truth that the difference between merchantmen and warships is passing. When Mr. Chureh- ili set up cannon on the sterns of cer- tain ships he took one step in that direction, but the German submarines that torpedoed ships like the Lusitania and the Armenian bring it to a ccnclu- sione Possibly the fact will have to be recopuized thai freight or passenger ships are to be regarded as warshfps and are to be suna accordingly for subma- rines cannot capture them.’ „These lines hit the nail on the head in crfticising the thought-provoking En- ‘Torone Jain measures, and in is connection 4 * ꝗ92E—k— | Von Hindenburg Works Hard to Reach Main Petrograd Railway * ny Aug. 11. L. GARVIN, editor of the. 4 Pall Mall Gazette, in an ar- 1 ticle which argues that in the Dardanelles lies the key to suc- cess for the allied armies, says: “Von Hindenburg evidently is working might and main to bring off the huge coup of his dreams, which hitherto always has failed. He hopes to turn the inner line of Niemen on the Bug as com- pletely as he now has turned the outer line on the Vistula. He un- doubtedly is throwing every man he can muster into the Baltic Prov- inces far above the Polish trian- gle, and means to strike heavily at the railway connections with Petrograd. “The chief junctions aimed at are Vilna and Dvinsk. His forces are not yet within 60 miles of either. The country is shaggy and sodden and interminably broken by rivers and lakes and every kind of running ahd standing water, so that it is in some respects more dif- ficult and dangerous than any re- gion the Germans yet have pene- trated, but they are confident in their transports, their engineering corps and technical resources of every kind, and in their cavalry, which they hope to launch in over- Whelming mass and speed. Let there be no mistake that this act of the drama is far big- ger than anything gone before. Warsaw is a bagatelle by compari- son. Enormous military issues are still at stake. We may take it for certain that Von Hindenburg is working the German frontier rail ways at top pressure hurrying bat- talions and squadrons from other quarters through East Prussia to the northernmost wing, where he still craves, after being baffled so often in the last 12 months, to strike the Grand Duke in the flank with a thrust as near as may be to mortal.“ BUSINESS MEN AT special interest attaches to the admis- sion that England began with a con- fusion of warship and merchantman by discovering ‘armed merchantmen, and the recognition of this as a bitter truth. There only remained that the instruc- tions given to steamers to use their bows as rams and weapons of attack sgainst submarines took from them the last vestige of right to be treated as merchantmen in the sense of interna- tlonu law, even if they are not armed. “England herself metamorphosed her merchant marine not into warships, as the Daily Chronicle teaches, but into franc-tireurs at sea. One will not be far wrong in assuming that these well known facts were absolutely ignored in the last American note, not from igno- tance but with dc liberate intent, and that the note only speaks of merchantmen because otherwise it would have been compelled to ecknowledge that for the dea of armed. merchantmen there are as yet no revognizec principles in inter- national law.“ — I Washington Does Not Regard Article as Making Any New Point. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The state- ment appearin, simultaneously in the Berlin papers in defense of Germany's submarine warfare is not regarded here as bringing any “ew point into the sit- uation.

TELLS OF MRS, ZEIDES CRYING WHEN CHILDREN ASKED FOR Foot Neighbor Testifies at Inquest That Woman Had Threatened to Kill Them and Herself. A verdict that Mrs. Anna Zeides of 1517 South Seventh street killed her- self and two children yesterday morning by gas, was found by Dep- uty Coroner Furlong today after an inquest. Mrs. Maud Mertz, living in the same house with Mrs. Zeides. testified that Monday night she heard the 6-year-old daughter of Mrs. Zei- des, ask her mother for something to eat and that Mrs. Zeides cried and said she had no money with which to buy food. Later Mrs. Zeides said to Mrs. Mertz that she “could stand things no longer” and had made up her mind to end her life. Mrs. Zeides separated from her husband, Michael, ‘two months ago. He lives at 3301 North Nineteenth street, Zeides said he had given his wife about $8 in the last three weeks. He said she tried to have him arrested for nonsupport and that he had told Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Wilson he would support her if she would live with him. AUST" ALIAN FINDS SPECIFIC FOR CEREBRO SPINAL MENINGITIS Dr. Richard Bull of Melhourne Says That Eucalyptus Will Destroy Germs of Disease. MELBOURNE, Australia, via London, Aug. 11.—The discovery of a specific for cerebro spinal meningitis was an- nounced today by Dr. Richard Bull, di- rector of the Bacteriological Laboratory of the University of Melbourne. Dr. Bull stated that eucalyptus would destroy the germ. The treatment of cerebro spinal menin- gitis has long presented a serious prob- lem for medical science. Up to a com- paratively short time ago, it may be said that there was no effective treat- ment for this disease, known popularly as spotted fever“ or the black death. The introduction of serum theraphy, however, offered hope of combating the disease successfully. In the epidemic in New York in 1906, the serum of Flexner and Jobling was used with striking suc- cess among young patients. The death rate where serum was employed fell to 46.3 per cent, compared with 90 per cent without its use. The medical properties of the oil ob- tained from leaves of the eucalyptus tree have long been recognized.

WOUND IN FOOT KILLS GIRL Weed Stubble Which Child Steps Up- on Causes Convulsions. Harriet Moore, 7 years old, going barefoot week before last in the yard of her home, 1615 John street, East St. Louis, stepped on a sharp bit of stubble where her father, Wright Moore, had been cutting weeds. The slight wound on the instep of her right foot, which was inflicted by the weed, resulted in her death yes- terday afternoon. Afttiseptics were applied to the wound shortly after it was made, but physiciang believe that dirt got into the wound, or that some poison came from the newly-cut weed stalk. The foot became inflamed Sunday. The child, soon after, suffered convul- sions. GIRL, 14, KILLS MAN, 30 She Is Exonerated When She Says He Tried to Attack Her. VAN BUREN, Ark. Aug.

By Aasociat-4 Pres- WASHINGTON, Aug. il.—Admunistra- tion officials toda; were hopeful that the American reply to the latest Ger- man note regarding the sinking of the American ship Wilham P. Frye, dis- patched to Berlin last night, would re- sult in a settlement of the dispute grow- ing out of the incident. The communt- cation probably will be given out for publication Saturday. The United States, it is said, agrees to accept payment for the Frye, as proposed by Germany, the amount to be fixed by a German-American com- mission, although it reiterates hat de- struction of the vessel was in contra- vention of the Prussian-American treaty of 182% Acceptance of the commission method makes an appeal to arbitration at The Hague unnecessary. Germany stipulated that payment was not to be rewarded as satisfaction for violation of American treaty richts, while the United States, it is under- stood, accepts, provided no treaty rights are waived. The United States claims that article 13 of the treaty in question specifically protected the Frye from being sunk, although not protecting a contraband cargo. Germany, however, contends that the treaty only obligates her to pay damages. The new American note, it is said, rejects this contention. American s Reply te to Austro-Hungarian The American note 9 the con- tention of the Austro-Hungarian Gov- ernment that the action of the United States in permitting the exportätion of munitions of war to enemies of the Germanic allies, “is not in consonance with the definition of neutrality,” was on its way today to Vienna. Ambassa- dor Penfield, to whom the note was dis- patched, probably will present it to the Austrian Government tomorrow. The communication is in reply to the Austro-Hungarian note of June N. The note, it was said, reaffirms the posi- tion of the United States that American exporters have a right, under interna- tional law to send war munitions to bel- ligerents able to purchase and receive them. The United States always has held that this is an unquestioned right un- der international law, and high officiais have pointed out that to prevent such shipments to one country because an- other was not in a position to receive them would in itself be a violation of neutrality. Precedents also have been recalled where in previous wars Ger- many and Austria imported arms ex- tensively. The Austro-Hungarian note, handed to Ambassador Penfield June 2 was a lengthy document setting forth the views of that Government and suggest- ing that the United States might re- dress the state of things complained of by informing the enemies of Austria- Hungary that the supply of foodstuffs and war material to them would be sus- pended unless legitimate trade in these articles between Americans and neutral countries was permitted. According to Berlin dispatches this complaint was sent after a conference between the Austro-Hungarian and Ger- man foreign offices. Similar notes, it was said, soon would be sent to the United States by Germany and Turkey. Big Freight Rate Increases Denied to Western Roads Centinued From Page 1. have affected carriers generally through increased operating costs.“ States Fought Increases. Differing from the attempt of the Eastern railroads to get a 5 per cent increase, the western roads, instead of asking a uniform increase, singled out particular commodities, moving mainly in carloads and proposed specified in- creases, changes affecting minimum weights, increased charges for special service and increased rates on a num- ber of miscellaneous articles. They based these claims for additional reve- nue on the ground of financial needs, the downward tendency of their net earnings and because the commodities involved do not bear their equitable share of the burden. The state commis- sions and other bodies denied that the financial condition of the roads war- ranted increased rates.

ROME, Aug. 11.—Pope Benedict has determined to make a new appeal for peace, according to the newspaper Roma, which says the Pontiff ts resolved to use every means witnin his power to bring about the desired result.

The same newspaper declares that it has information to the effect that the Pope has made a personal appeal to the President of the United States, the Presidents of Switserland and of the Central and South American republics, as well as to the Kings of Spain and the Scandinavian countries, asking them to join with him in an effort to obtain at least a truce preparatory to the open- ing of peace negotiations.

Car- ranza through his Washington agents teday notified Secretary Lansing that “the Mexican people view with dis- pleasure’ any attempt tending to frus- trate the success of Carranza’s armed forces. Carranza’s message referred to the Pan-American conference and was taken as plainly signifying he would not agree with its actioa toward Mexi- ca, affairs. Carranza also has sent a similar no- tification to the diplomatic repregenta- tives of all the Latin-American repub- lics participating in the Mexican con- ference, saying that any attempt be- ‘tween them and the American Govern- ment to solve the internal situation of Mexico, “‘would involve an act which could not be looked upon with levity, as it would mean on the part of the ~~ Latin-American nations the acceptance of the precedent that they can take part in any internal affairs of a sister nation with the co-operation of the - United States, something absolutely un- 6, not only in so far as it may the relations between the Latin- American nations themselves, but also because it might involve the moral sup- port of any future decisions which grow deut of similar conferences.

Pan-Americans to Act as Unit. The possibility that some of the chiefs, particularly Gen. Carranza, may refuse to join in such a convention has been fully considered and the nations par- ticipating in the conference are said to be in agreement to use the armed forces of the United States if necessary to en- force an embargo on war supplies against any faction opposing the pro- posed new government. Armed intervention to establish the Mexican Government would be contem- plated only ag a last resort, and, ac- cording to information here, the South and Central American Powers would be asked only for their approval and moral support of military operations by the United States if they became neces- sary.

FINAL APPEAL TO MEXICO PREPARED NEW YORK, Aug: 11.—Diplomatic representatives of Brazil, Chile, Argen- tina, Bolivia, Guatemala and Uruguay and Secretary Lansing met here today to act together in a plan which has for its aim the restoration of peace in Mex- ico. An appeal to Mexicans of all factions to subordinate personal and selfish in- terests to the national welfare of Mex- ico has been prepared. Both President ‘Wilsén and Secretary Lansing have given it their approval, and after to- day’s conference on details of phrase- ology.and the length of time in which it should be indicated that replies were hoped for, the communication will be distributed throughout Mexico to lead- ers and officials, civil and military. The situation that has arisen at Vera Cruz where anti-foreign demonstra- tions are reported, .gave the diplomats some concern, but they were zonfident that when the appeal made public the misconstruction of their purposes which evidently had been. spread in some parts of Mexico would be removed Secretary Lansing aksured the dip- lomats that the United States in send- ing battleships to Vera Crus intended only to afford protection to foreigners and furnish them a place of refuge. He explained that the action should not be construed as affecting the effort of the United States to. bring peace by peace- ful means in Mexico.

Troops to Be Hel din Readiness for Border Protection, WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—In accord- ance with Secretary Lansing's an- nouncement yesterday that it might be necessary to strengthen the forces on the border because of brigandage, or- ders probably will go out soon to army posts to hold troops in readiness if not actually to move them. ‘ Secretary Garrison returned today and conferred with his staff on the sub- ject. “The conditions on the border,” said he, “have nothing whatever to do with tlie fighting in Mexico and have no po- litical significance. Lawless people are using this time of excitement for an op- portunity. to plunder and steal and we are not sure that all the law breakers are Mexicans. Some of them, we know are not.” Under Major-General Funston’s com- mand on the border are nine regiments of cavalry, six and one-half regiments of infantry and two full regiments of field artiller}, in all about 14.000 troops. At other posts in continental United States are about 12,000 more mobile troops. It was being suggested today that if the need of troops became im- perative it might be necessary to use some national guardsmen. Reports have reached here that more than 100 Carranza trops from ine command of Gen. Navarette in the State of Tamaulipas have moved over into Texas in the territory surrounding Brownsville and have scattered into bands to rally Mexicans in the State with the announced purpose of begin- ning an uprising. They are reported to be under command of Juan Delos San- tos, Vincente Davila and Carlos Gar- cia. War Department officials would not discuss the report, but it was said to be in their possession and probably would be one of the reasons for mov- ing troops to the border.

These letters express a disposition to oppose at all costs any intervention, military or oth- erwise. The Constitutionalists control the vastly greater part of the national ter- ritory according to official claims.

A civil service investigation into charges made by Miss Maud E. Wright of 1103 Montgomery street has shown how Postmaster Selph’s private secre- gary. Miss Emily Oster, induced three girls to resign from a civil service lst of eligible clerks to permit Selph to ap- point Mise Mary McMahon, who has been, his stenographer in political mat- ters, to a position as Postoffice clerk. In this position she works principally as the Postmaster’s stenographer. Miss Wright received a letter yester- day from Charles Hendricks, secretarv of the Civil Service Commission, noti- fying her that she has been reinstated on the eligible list, from which she was persuaded to resign by Miss Emily Os- ter, private secretary to the Postmaster. Miss Oster, on account of assistance given by her, as a member of the local Board of Civil Service Examiners. to Postmaster Seiph in jockeying the list, has been removed from the examining board. How the Way Was Cleared. Miss Oster's assistance, the investi- gation disclosed, consisted in present- ing matters in such a light to Miss Wright and two other young women who stood higher on the eligible list than did Miss McMahon, that they were induced to resign from the list. This cleared the way for the appoint- ment of Miss McMahon, and she was appointed. . The conclusion of the Civil Service Commission was that Postmaster Selph erred in appointing a stenographer from the clerks’ register instead of the sten- ographers’ register, and that Miss Os- ter was in fault in not, as a member of the Examining Board, advising the Postmaster to apply to the stenogra- phers’ register, and in not giving cor- rect information to the three young women who resigned from the postof- fice clerks’ list. Miss Wright took the examination for postoffice clerk in the latter part of 1913 and. was notified on Jan. 6, 1914, that she stood eighth on the list. On July 25, 1914, complying with a notification, she called on Miss C'ster. Miss Oster asked her if she were a stenographer and on being told that she was not said that Miss Wright could not be used because a stenog- rapher was needed to help out in the office and the one receiving the ap- pointment as clerk weet be expected to do that work. Resignation a “Matter of Form.” Miss Oster, Miss Wright says, per- suaded her to resign from the eligible list, telling her it was only a matter of form, and that she would be rein- stated Aug. 1. Miss Wright agreed and the resignation was dictated by Miss Oster. The reason stated was that Miss Wright had other employ- ment. Miss Wright wrote to Miss Oster Aug. 1 and received no reply. She complained to Secretary Hendricks. The next day she was reinstated on the orders of the Assistant Post- master-General, pending an investi- gation, which Secretary Hendricks was directed to make. Her rein- statement has now been confirmed by the order of the Civil Service Com- mission. Secretary Hendricks does not ex- press disapproval of Postmaster Selph’s course in the matter. “Post- master Selph,” he said, “wanted a stenographer. He had in view a girl who had “worked for him before he became Postmaster. She was on the eligibility list, but there were three ahead of her. “No Personal Favoritism.” “He got these three to resign. That cleared the way for the appointment of the girl who had worked for him. It was charged that there was politics and personal favoritism in the appointment. The investigation did not bear out the charges. Where Postmaster Selph made | a mistake was in taking a stenographer from the pestoffice clerks’ register. He should have applied to the stenograph- ers' register.“ Miss Wright's father, Joseph F. Wright, was dismissed from the city distribution department of the postof- fice a few weeks after the charges were filed by Miss Wright. He had been in the service 25 years. Charges were filed against him Sept. 1 He was alleged te have used improper language in the hearing of women employes during the preceding three vears. Postmaster Selph is out of town and his version could not be obtained.

By E. Richard Schayer, An American Correspondent, Whe Served 10 Months With the Brit- ish Transport Department, NORTHERN FRANCE, July 3. NDIVIDUALISM doesn't count for itch in this war between millions. a In sain, a man may be said to be no longer a man. He becomes a mere unit, tagged and numbered for iden- tification, a flesh and blood cog in the grea. machine. The less he thinks, the better Obedience and courage are all that are expected of him. Individ- ual thinking is dangerous. Any soldier in the frenches who permits himself to think is almost certain to lessen his value as a soldier. The officers, com- miss'orned and noncommissioned, are pre- sumed to do all the thinking necessary. But there are two kinds of work in this modern warfare that call for indi- vidual resource and initiative, and so far as I have been able to discover in seven months’ service at the front, these two kinds only—dispatch riding ani ‘gharpshooting. In these activities enlist- ed inen are employed and, after recéiv- ing order, are left to their own devices. Deprived of the sustaining moral in- fluence of being one of a group, the “‘bikers’’ and ‘“‘snipers’’ are put to as fine a test cf nerve and ingenuity as modern warfare affords. There are at least 2000 dispatch riders with the British expeditionary force. A year ago the bulk of these youns chaps were employed in the clerical and mechanical arts of peace. On Sundays and holidays they could be seen pul- put-ting’’ about the country roads of old England on their motor bikes, usually with some lassie clinging on behind, Fur the past year they have been eating up the miles along the highways an! byways of Northern France, unham- pered by speed laws. The lagsies no longer ride behind, and the way is often perilously besprinkled with shrapnel and rifle fire. No Romance About His Methods. HE old-time dispatch rider and z his foaming steed are no more. Instead of a sweating, panting horse and dusty rider reining up before headquarters with important dispatches. there comes a rhythmic purr far up the dusty road, swelling to sharp-volley de- tonations from twin-cylinder gas cham- bers. A motor-bike tears up at 0 miles an hour and slides to a sudden stop. Th» rider, in tan leather coat, military cap, goggles, oil-spattered breeches and leather leggings, doesn’t stagger up t his General and gasp out the time-hon- ored, I have the honor to report that Gen. Blank has taken the fortress, and then drop dead or faint. Usually the first thing he does is & look at his rear tire and then fumble with the engine and mutter something about the “‘blankety-blank thing miss- ing half the time.“ When he does march in before the General, to whom he has brought dispatches, he receives no more consideration than any pen-pushing order clerk whose military life is about as dangerous and inspiring as their civilian occupations. The biker has just come over some ® miles of ex- posed road. Half the way from his point of departure he probably rode at tep sreed, head bent low over his handle bars, sniped at by a hundred German sharpshooters and even pursued by the shriek and bang of shrapnel. But that’s all in the day’s work, and neither the General nor any of his staff would think of commending the young man for merely having performed his duty. The biker' leads the most nomadic life in the army. He is seldom perma- nently attached to any particular unit ot division. He may start the day with a sunrise ride from Dunkirk to Ypres. Noon may find him tearing along the shell-strewn highway from Bailleul to Bethune. At evening he may be taking his supper in some little inn half-way vast are the military operations and yet so small is the actual territory in- of the British outfit covers the entire circuit of Northern France in a day Revolver His Only Weapons.

I had dinner a few nights ago in Choques, a village near Bethune, with four “bikers.” That is to say, they ate at the same table in the little Frenc h restaurant, and I listened to their com- ment. They had all covered more than a hundred miles that day, carrying dis- patches, but it was not until coffee was served and cigarettes were lighted that any of them mentioned anything in con- nection with the day’s work.

I was washing in the brook when the bike and bods dropped in the brook. When I found it was Billy—from his wallet and letters in his pocket—I got fed up with that short cut—always go around by the wert road now.“ These quiet young chaps, with their modest way of doing dangerous and im- portant things, impressed me as being about the finest lot in the whole rank and file of the British army Theirs is not butcher's work. They don't have to fight. But they have to take many a desperate chance and the safety of some regiment or brigade of fighting men in the trenches often depends upon how swiftly and truly one of these mo- tor cycle dispatch bearers can run th¢ gauntlet of the e my's fire. The sniper is of a different mold at- together. His first qualification is, of course, marksmanship of more than or-. dinary caliber. He must be able not only to hit anything he can see at point- blank range, but so skilled as to be able to pick out with field glasses a man a mile distant, adjust the sights of his Lee-Enfield and put that distant speck of humanity out of commission inside of three or four shots. Further than that, he must be of the stuff that can stand being potted at, hour after hour, all day long; that can hear the vicious whine of distant sniper’s bullet seeking him out in his hiding place, each bullet bugzing by a little nearer his ear, and not quit. How Sniperg Conceal Themselves. HE sniper takes a position usually somewhere back of the trencnes, In any spot that looks like a good bit of cover. At va- rious times it is a ruined farmhouse, a stone-rimmed well, a clump of bushes, a rock or a tree. His first efforts are directed at making himself as nearly in- visible as possible te the powerful lerises of hostile field glasses and telescopes. Then he tries to locate the German snipers, whose periodical shots have been annoying him or the men in the trenches near to hand. All sorts of tricks and wiles are prac- ticed by these solitary marksmen on both sides. A Scotch sharpshooter told me recently of an experience he had— a sort of day-long duel with a German expert. The Svot had ensconsed him. self in a clump of gorse bushes on a hill- side well back of the English trenches. He had made himself a thick wreath of gorse leaves and blossoms for his head and wound a chain of green leaves about his rifle barrel. He felt himeelf practically invisible, but after an hour some German sniper must have spotted him or suspected his presence in that clump of bushes, for shot after shot 357 178 i 4 1 Pa ee Allied Demands That Country Be Turned Over to Bulgaria Are Termed Unjust, 55 ed GENEVA, Aug.

Neutrals of Freedom of Seas How the War Is Robbing “Old Rights Made a Mockeru By STERLING E. EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, Louts University Law School. The close of the first year of the great war finds in operation many un- usual applications of the laws of war, which presage ultimate modifications of the rules of international law. Some doctrines supposedly fixed in the law through long acceptance have been set aside; proposals founded in the humanizing tendencies of the last half century and acted upon often enough to give them standing have been ig | nored, and new practices have en up wholly antagonistic to the hopes of modern civilization. All wars. have had their influence upon the development of international law, the degree of influence bearing some ratio to the power of the bellig- erent states engaged. It is inevitable, therefore, that a war of the magni- tude of that now devastating Eu- rope should produce almost revolu- tionary departure from previously es- tablished practice. Such changes In or departure from the law as it ex- isted before will be seen to have fol- lowed the vigorous use of power by belligerents in those fields where they possess relative superiority. For ex- ample, the innovation in the practices of maritime warfare have come, in the main, from British action, while those as to land operations are of German origin. Days-of-Grace Rule First to Go. The war had hardly opened before the magnanimous days-of-grace rule wenteinto the discard. This rule gave immunity from eapture to the merchant shops of one belligerent found in the ports of the other or on the high seas at the outbreak of war, and under Kk they were given safe conduct to their near- est home ports. It had its origin in the Crimean war and had been practiced in the Franco-German, Spanish-Amer- ican and Russo-Japanese wars. It was, therefore, ‘considered established. But the present war finds a reversion to the old law of seqrestration of such vessels. Almost simultaneously the rule of much longer standing as to the immuni- ties of damiciled alien enemies was over- turned. For a hundred years it had been the practice to allow a large de- gree of personal iiberty and protection to enemy persons domiciled in the country of the opposing belligerent. In fact, in the Anglo-Américan view, bel- ligerent domicile made of such persons enemies of the state of their allegiance. For example, a British subject domi- ciled in Germany is in respect of his property at least, an enemy of Great Britain. Modern publicists have cited the arrest by Napoleon in 1803 of thou- sands of Englishmen in France as his- tory’s last instance of the wholesale abuse of the rrivilege of domiciled ene- mies. Yet with the beginning of the present war tens of thousands of the subjects of the belligerent states were forced into detention camps in the ene- my countries and subjected to rigid disy cipline as prisoners. This appears plainly to violate the humane rule that combatants alone may be made prisoners of war, yet there is a mitigating conditMn in the fact that many of the prisoners are enemy sub- jects of military age who, under the system of compulsory military service, are reserve soldiers. And states are recognized as having the right to pre- vent this class of rersons from joining the armed forces of the enemy. If the rights of domiciled alien enemies are to disappear, it will be because of the in- stitution of universal military service. Rule as to Noncombatants, This war has gone far to obliterate the humane distinction between com- batant and noncombatant developed by slow stages with the advance of civilization, and ir some fields we have seen a recrudescence to the in- discriminate mistreatment of both which characterized the Middle Ages. This has been particularly true in the early operations in Belgium and northern France. The rule relating to noncombatants when in the power an invader, insures them protec- tion in their lives, their family honor and religion and in their private prop- erty to a large extent. Their prop- erty may suffer diminution through contributions levted in the form of taxes for the support of the civil and military administrations, it may destroyed as an incident to military operations or for strategic reasons, but it may not be otherwise taken which the whole community may be levied as punishment, but only for acts of resistance or defiance for which the whole community may he said to be collectively responsible. The conduct of the Germans in Bel- gium has grossly violated all of these conceptions of their duty. In the actual operations on land there has been a return to the use of u long-prohibited means of warfare, namely, poison, in the form ot gas. This is not only a violation of express FREE EXAMIN ATION eve ORT St. f/L,iORN * written law, but contrary to the con- ceptions of honorable conduct com- ing down to us from antiquity. The prospect that Great Britain and her allies may resort to it to equalize ad- vantages, gives to its use no little force as a precedent. Law of Aerial Space. A new branch of law has come into being through the use of the aero- plane, namely the law of aerial space. Heretofore, states had no occasion to exercise jurisdiction except upon land and within their territorial waters. But the aeroplane has ex- tended it practically to the air which is conceived to be susceptible of sov- ereign regulation as fully as land and water. A neutral state, therefore, owes the duty to see that its aerial space is not used by one belligerent to the disadvantage of the other, and a hos- tile aeroplane traversing such space is violating its own duty fo keep outside neutral territory. If aircraft descend upon neutral soil it is in- terned, with its occupants, as would be soldiers getting upon neutral soil. The aeroplane, used to a greater ex- tent in land than in naval warfare, is being regulated according to the laws applicable to the former, when venturing within neutral jurisdiction, If the naval law were applied the aeroplane would be conceded such rights of visit and taking on fuel and supplies as are accorded war vessels. However, the rules being enforced appear the logical ones. Attack Upon Freedom of Seas. One of the most flagrant invasions of the rights of neutrals that the war has produced has followed the attack upon the principle of the free sea by Great Britain and Germany. The conception that all waters outside the three miles of territorial sea of States is the com- mon and indivisible property of all States dates from very ancient times and is confirmed in the Roman law. There was a period during the Middle Ages when the principle lapsed and Spain appropriated the whole of the Pa- cific Ocean and the southern half of the Atlantic, England claiming the narrow seas, the North Sea and the Atlantic from Cape Finisterre in Spain to Stad- land in Norway, while Sweden and Den- mark asserted proprietorship over the Baltic and Arctic. These claims grew out of the suppres- where their sea-borne commerce was greatest. However, they have long since passed into the romance of history and the oriental view of the high seas as for the common benefit to all has become a evherished heritage. Belligerents may fight their naval battles upon these waters, (—) their theaters of action being casual and transitory, (—) without infringing the principle; they may blockade each others coasts for a reasonable distance beyond the territorial limits, but no further restriction of the free- dom of navigation as against neutrals yis conceivable without doing violence to their rights. Yet Great Britain and Germany have not only attempted to close by mere proclamation large areas of the North and Irish seas, but have strewn mines in such seas 80 as to render navigation highly dangerous. If the high seas can be thus closed against neutrals during war for the benefit of belligerents it is not a far step to their appropriation in time of peace and a return to the doctrine of Mare Clausum of the Middle Ages. Commerce of Neutrals. As an ancillary right to the freedom of the seas, neutrals are confirmed in the unrestricted freedom of commerce with neutrals, subject to no molesta- tion on the part of belligerents. This is a rule of British origin and for the upholding of which no other state has contended more firmly. Trade between a neutral and belligerent is likewise free save in articles adapted to warlike use and save to blackade ports. Yet Great Britain, reversing the stand of formér days, is assuming not only to suppress all trade between neutrals and her enemies, but between neutrals and neutrals when there is any chance of imports reaching her enemies througn resale. She has abolished all distinc tion between absolute and conditional contraband, she, has placed upon all neutral ships the burden of proving that their cargoes will not reach her ene- mies, where it was previously upon the captor, and she has compelled the Neth- erlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark to enact laws forbidding the re-exporta- tion of imported goods.

CANS ON EXHIBIT Snuff Box, Fencing Foil and Sil- ver Ware Shown at City Hall. An exhibit of valuable articles that have been recovered from garbage cans in the city within the last year, includes a French fencing foil, an antique sneff box and 50 or more solid silver spoons, each engraved with some monogram of the owner. The collection is on display at the city hall in the offices of Charles Laxton. superintendent of the city garb- age collection. Practically all of the articles were found at the Chouteau avenue dump. Laxton ordered the collectors to send such things to his office, with the un- derstanding that “finders are keepers” so far as money is concerned. Fre- quentiy, it is said, $1 and $5 pills, to- gether with numerous coins are found, and occasionally à $10 bill finds its way into the hands f a negro garbage man. Recovered articles are carefully cleaned. Those which uppear io have no considerable value, such as plated tableware, are thrown away or given to the finders. The others are to be held in Laxton’s office until claimed by the owners. Laxton thinks the snuff box may be the most valuable thing in his collec- tion. It is of wood, bound with silver, and seéms to be very old. On the lid is a picture of a man driving a pair of buffaloes to a plow, with the French words, La Bisontine’’ under it. The superintendent is of the opinion that it is an heirloom. The foil has been broken at the end of the blade, but is still of sufficient length to cause the collectors to won- der how it could have got into a can. Chester E. Burg, secretary of the De- partment of Streets and Sewers, is making a catalogue of the spoons. Some of them are souvenir spoons from vari- ous expositions. One, made in the form of a rifle, is apparently from Fort Lea- venworth, Kan. commerce under a license from the Brit- ish Government. It is inconceivahle that such practices can be allowed to stand. In effect, they are an assertion of the right of a belligerent to stop the commerce of the neutral world if it is thought to con- tribute to his success; it magnifies the belligerent position to intolerable de- gree and dwarfs the position of neutrals into insignificance. Submarine Problems. The submarine has caused by far the most dramatic problem of the war. In the previous brief history of the submarine it was conceived to be an engine of destruction whose greatest usefulnes was against above- water warships. The nature of its contruction, its lack of speed and the recognized laws of naval warfare with respect to merchant ships im- posed zuch limitations as were thought to confine its use to strictly naval operations. From time out of mind unarmed and unoffending mer- chant ships have been held free from deliberate attack, not only from the claim of honor that their defenseless- ness created, but, also, to fulfill the law of noncombatant immunity. . But these limitations have not been strong enough to restrain the use of submarines by Germany as commerco destréyers. As a result the law of nencombatant immunity has been ruthlessly trampled upon, as have the laws of visit and seareh, which have meant so much in the protection of neutral vessels. That the submarine will ultimately be confirmed in a wider latitude of auction than above-water craft possessed, is quite probable, but it is extremely doubt- ful that the world will sanction its use in any way that runs counter to the principle that unarmed civilians must be protected in their lives. For this principle is an earnest of our civilization which cannot be aban- doned without a confession that our so-called modern progress is a delu- sion and a mockery. There is one other important retro- gression that has been incident to the German submarine warfare and that in- volves a special class of persons who, during the last hundred years, have come to have an immune status. These are the fisher Pik engaged in coast fishing. Their vessels Rave not been liable to capture nor they themselves to injury or molestation. Yet the sub- marines havé not spared them or their vessels, but have taken a frightful toll of death and destruction among them on the English Coasts. In the changing practices of war, bel- ligerents are even seeking to enlarge their rights at the expense of neutrals and it becomes the serious duty of the latter not only to hold firmly to what they have won, but, where possible, to augment the lasting rights of peace at the expense of the emporary rights of war. For peace is the normal condition of society. Never before have neutrale been compelled to confront more deter. mined aggression and never has the United States, as the most powerful neutral, more weighty obligations in the work of combating these encroach- ments.

The St. Louis Police Department, with more than 140 policemen and détect- ives, and with a Bureau of Efficiency on the job and wtih a total expenditure of 2. 189,505. 35, arrested five thieves last year. This fact is gleaned from statistical tables which appear in the annual re- port of the Police Department for the last fiscal year, which was published in pamphlet form this morning. The book contains a table of occupations of ar- rested persons. Under males arrest- ed“ appears the entry, Thieves, 4,” while a similar table for women shows 1 thief, 3 men and 8 women are list- ed as drunkards.“ When this showing was called to Chief Young’s attention, he made this explanation: Those figures are not quite fair to the department. They show only the per- sons who, when asked their occupa- tion, said they were thieves. I really think the police arrested a good many more thieves than tha“, but some of them were not as candid as these five were, and professed to have other oc- cupations. The occupation is put down, on the prisoner’s own statement, when the arrest is made. Sometimes it takes a jury to find out that the real — DIVORCE ACTION AGAINST NEW YORK MILLIONAIRE Conde R. Thorn and His Wife Have Been Living Apart Several Months. NEW YORK, Aug. II. —- Conde R. Thorn, a retired millionaire Wall street man, is defendant in a suit for divorce started by Mrs. Louise Floyd-Jones Thorn, now living with her parents at Massepqua, L. I. Attorneys for Mrs. Thorn say the action had been started, but refused to say whether the papers have been filed. Some months ago Mrs. Thorn took her children, Edward Filoyd-Janes Thorn and Katherine Delancy Thorn, to the home of her parents, where she has since been living. Not long after Thorn closed fils house and went to the Belle- claire. From there he again moved, this time ta Easthampton, L. I., where he is seen much on the golf links. * ie ~ occupation ig not the police ter.“ The table of occupations shows that laborers, teamsters, clerks and chauf- feurs, in the order named, make the most trouble for the police. The num- ber of laborers arrested was 13.792; teamsters, 1194; clerks, 1172 (10 of them women), and chauffeurr. 1089 (one a woman). Twelve preachers and only five pugi- lists were arrested. Fifty-one law- the one entered on shants, 32 actors, 9 artists, 14 déntists, 53 druggists, 2 Deputy Sheriffs, 3 hu- mane officers, 67 watchmen, 122 farm- ers, 3 fishermen, 4 bankers, 23 brew- ers, 182 saloon keepers, 313 bartenders, 91 students, 818 school boys, 6 editors and 22 reporters are included in the men’s list. : Among the women are 7 actresses, 3 fortune tellers, 2 manicurists, 11 nurses, 2 teachers, 8 stenographers, 3 singers and 71 waitresses. ‘‘No occupation“ was the entry for 1660 men and 1627 wom- en.

Mrs. Mary E. Franse, whose ad- dress is West Point, Neb., Box 411, has written to the Pinus laboratories a very strong endorsement of Fruit- ola and Traxo. In her letter, Mrs. Franse says: About ten years ago I was about to undergo an operation for gall-stones when I heard of your medicine. Dreading an operation above everything I determined to try Fruitola and Traxo and have never been sorry I did so, as I have never been troubled with gall-stones since. Fruitola is a powerful lubricant for the intestinal organs, and one dose is usually sufficient to give ample evi- dence of its efficacy. Following a dose of Fruitola, Traxo should be taken three or four times a day in order to rebuild and restore the sys- tem that has been weakened and run- down by constant suffering.

Miss Lily Nagel of 1637 Belt avenue manager of the Animal Sheiter Associa- tion; told reporters today that she in- tended to prefer charges against Patrol- man Charles Weniger of the Page Boulevard Station. She said he spoke abusively to her last night, in a dis- cussion over the proper treatment of a sick horse which was lying in the street on Julian avenue, near Hamilton. Weni- ger denies the charge. Miss Nagel said another policeman called her from her home at 10 p. m. to see the horse, but that the owner arrived before’ she did, and would not consent to have it shot, as she thought it should. he. She said she then sug- gésted that a red light be placed oven | the horse, to prevent a possible hutomo- bile accident, and that Weniger toi her to mind her own business, and made remarks which she thought unbecoming. She said she struck Weniger across the face with her umbrella, and that he. struck back, hitting her on the ear, but would not arrest her, though she ‘“‘dared’’ him to do 80.

LOUS Proceedings Instituted by the Union Trust and Savings Bank, Following Foreclosure Action. Application was made to the East St. Louis City Court voday by the Union Trust and Savings Bank of East St. Louis for the appointment of a receiver for the Ilmo Hotel, the principal hostel ry on the East Side. The proceedings is ih the form of an amendment to a suit which was filed by the bank on April against John ©. Halt; owner of the hotel, for the fore- closure of a mortgage for $50,000. a The foreclosure suit was not placed on the issue docket by William. Veach, clerk of the City Court, when it was filed, and the fact that such a suit was on file became known only today, when the amendment was filed. f The foreclosure suit was on a mortgage given by Hall Nov. 13, 1906, ‘to Sam M. Kennard and Murray Carleton of St. Louis by Hall to se- cure 4 loan of $50,060. The petition says no interest has been paid sinc¢ May 1, 1914. The mortgage was sold by Kennard and Carketon to the bank, which occupies a part of the hotel building. The bank also holds an- other mortgage for $100,000 against Hall, the petition says. The hote! occupies (half a block, facing Mſbsourt and Collinsville avenues and Fourth ‘street. Thea hotel is under the management of Chase E. Gillen, who is also the lessee @nd manager of the Inn at Piasa Chautauqua. The petition says that the James Campbell estate Mas a judgment for $7623 against the estate, obtained in the City Court in December, 1900, which has not been satisfied. The Campbell estate and all others who have claims against the property are included as de- fendants. . . Veach, the clerk of the court, was not in his office this forenoon. His sec- retary said the foreclosure suit was placed on the issue docket when it was filed. East St. Louls newspaper repor- ters who scan the issue docket évery day, say it wasjnot placed on the dock- et when it was#filed. *““ACTOIDS” ACT acCTIVEL?Y. ‘*ACTOIDS” Cure Constipation. * a LICENSES, Philip Georgo Catherine Eline Fairfax D.

In his talk favoring annexation, —the big, yellow cards, printed in brown—they are signposts of economies that are unrivaled in St. Louis. They are found on practically every article that you might require & the benefits you derive from this sale will depend Mayor Kiel confined his argument largely to one point. He said that largely upon your particular requirements.

These Five great institutions in five of America’s leading cities are banded together, forming a buying chain of gigantic strength—an invincible com- mercial giant that occupies a very advantageous position in the markets of the country with a Buying Power that redounds to Your financial benefit; when you shop Here. 5 St. Louisans will appreciate the tremendous influence this buying or- ganization has when we say that the annual sales of the Five stores, owned & operated by us, are Six Million Dollars greater than the combined yearly sales of our Six largest competitors in St. Louis.

Likened to a Marriage. The Mayor likened annexation to a marriage. He said that both parties must be satisfied, both should show mu- tual consideration and both realize the responsibilities and be willing to share them. He spoke of the action of New York and Chicago in taking in numer- ous suburbs and said that time has proven the wisdom of the moves and Choice of any pair ) Women’s Pumps in the Bargain Room, at ONE DOLLAR.

The territory in the ward was annexed to Webster Groves against the will of the residents, and for this reason many of the residents now favor annexation to St. Louis. Herman Schwartz presided, and Judge Muench was the first speaker. He said that it is inevitable that large cities will continue to grow and increase in influence. He said that suburban jealousy of large cities is to be regretted and that it has been a mistake on the part of country members of the Legislature to place upon Missouri cities, notably St. Louis, burdens they should not bear. He said annexation is a matter of self interest. About 90 per cent of the resi- dents of the territory which St. Louis proposes to annex draw their living from the city, he said,-and they should realize that their interest is bound up in that cf the city. J. R. Bettis Opposes Annexation. J. R. Bettis of Webster Groves, spoke in opposition to annexation. He admit- ted that St. Louis has a cheaper gas rate and cheaper clectric light rate, put he said the telephone rate is higher. He said suburban residents read of Kraft in the St. Louis School Board and that there is no graft in Webster Groves. He declared that the exhibition given by St. Louis Aldermen during the last six months was enough to make any suburb oppose annexation. He did not go into 29c Taffeta Ribbons, 21c Yd.

Teo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. An essential feature of the plan of the people’s industrial system, it seems to me is the manage- ment. It is not practicable to put a multitude of families out onto the land to work separate little gllotments, as a means of solving the unemploy- ment problem. The result of efforts in that direc- tion might be beneficial to the few persons 80 located, but it is not capable of indefinite exten- ion, therefore cannot be a permanent or com- ‘apiéte remedy. Moreover, the amount of land re- | quired in the aggregate is too large, and it would (father accentuate than lessen the evils of land- }4tordism, while our plan will result in completely abolishing land monopoly. Then the mutiplicity ef different kinds of labor required to be done by - one man or his family make their labor compara- tively ineffective, and few if any men can ac- quire even a small part of the knowledge neces- ‘gary to intelligently direct their own labor in food production from the land. Our plan contemplates management similar to any business concern employing a number of ‘workers. There will be a manager and as many assistants or foremen as the number of workers ¥equire. Our management will naturally avail it- elt of every aid which can be given by the United ‘States Department of Agriculture and the Agri- Sultural Department of the State University, and il cheerfuly welcome co-operation of the very ‘great number of good people who have sought in the recent past to find ways of restoring the peo- ple “back to the land.” | By a business like system of management and 2 presence of considerable numbers of workers methods can be employed and results achieved ‘which are impossible to the isolated individual 39 even under the best conditions.

Twelve hundred men engaged in business and professional pursuits have gathered at Plattsburg, N. Y., to go into camp for a month’s military training. This experiment in military training for citizens is interesting. It is the initial result of a wide sentiment in favor of creating a large corps of citizen soldiery for national defense. It gives promise of large benefits.to the men who engage in the work and for the defense of the nation. a The month will not be devoted to play. The camp will be under the command and direction of regular army officers, who will forget personal and official distinctions and will put the vol- unteers through their paces just as if they were raw recruits in the army. The Mayor of New Vork City, who is in the camp, must doff official authority and submit to orders. The volunteers will be given setting up exer- cises, drills and training in the use of arms. They will make sanitary camps, dig trenches and en- gage in maneuvers. They will be trained to shoot. When these business and professional men come out of camp, after a month’s hard training, they will find themselves in greatly improved physical and mental condition. They will have upright bearing and elastic steps. They will know how to set up a sanitary camp to avoid disease-breed- ing conditions. They will know something about military tactics, drilling and the manual of arms. They will have the kindergarten knowledge, at least, of military service. 0 Doubtless the volunteers will find the work pleasant. As a new and active occupation, it will have the effect of play and recreatidbn. If they continue it for the years in which they are fit for military service, the volunteers will never have to go to a santarium to regain health and strength, impaired by overwork in city offices or overplay The camp will make the recuperat- ing sanitarium unnecessary and will be far more agreeable. The Plattsburg camp is recruited from several citles—New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington and Chicago. Why have one camp in New York? '|Why not have one for each city. The camp movement should spread over the country, not alone among city men, but among country men. Training in boy scout troops in youth and in military camps in manhood for all able-bodied males would make the United States a wonderful nation; it would take care of national defense and would develop a splendid type of man. With- in ten years the standard of American manhood in all the qualities that contribute to physical and mental efficiency would be vastly improved. = = — It our rains are, according to Father Brennan, due to explosions in the war zone, can it be that our low temperatures are due to the cold feet developed by certain of the belligerents? ——_ = i UPHOLD THE EFFICIENCY SYSTEM. The plea that the new Wiring Inspection Bureau shall be organized with temporary appointees cf uncertified men can be only an attempt to evade the requirements of the efficiency system. While there is not time before the new law takes effect on Aug. 21 to hold examinations, there has been ample opportunity during the six weeks permitted tu elapse since the law was passed. : No interest will be sacrificed if salary-drawing in the bureau does not begin promptly on Aug. 21. The city, during its entire previous existence, has got along very comfortably without a Wiring Inspection Bureau. No particularly injurious con- sequences will result if it does not have one until Sept. 21 or Oct. 21, provided it takes that long to conduct the examinations and organize in ac- cordance with the strict efficiency requirements.. Chairman Thomas H. Rogers is doing public service in resisting the plausible plan of Public Utilities Director Hooke. To start the efficiency system with an excess of zeal resulting perhaps in minor mistakes is much better than to start with complacent laxity. The criticism is confined chiefly to spoilsmen. Mr. Rogers is laying a broad and substantial foundation for the effi- ciency system, of the future St. Louis and should be upheld. ; Teacher! The Jeff City gang is trying to kid- rap the principal! i A ee. a AMERICAN-GERMANS. Mr. “Wilhelm Schmidt protests our use of “Kaiser-Americans” and “German-Americans.” Mr. Schmidt is a patriot and a true neutral and as such resents a “qualification of their Amert- canism which these hyphenated terms impute to Americans of German birth or blood.” In earlier days “German-American” was a proud designation merely descriptive. The patriots who stood by the Union in our civil strife knew them- selves as such. There was no qualified Ameri- canism suggested by the inscription on BSigel’s But in the present state of things we are in- clined to agree with Mr. Schmidt—and we pro- pose the reversed order of “American-Germans” as better descriptive of patriotic loyalty to the land of adoption. At the head of the roll of honor of American-Germans we place the name of Wilhelm Schmidt. A contemporary reprints poems credited to “Stephen C. Foster, in the Kansas City Journal,“ and “Christina Rossetti, in the Kansas City Star.” It would perhaps interest the author of “Suwanee River,” who died in 1864, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti's daughter, who died in 1894, to learn that they are contributors to Kansas City papers. = = * er BIGGEST NAVAL OPERATION. rue na val force with which Riga was and per- of much later construction. While the surroundings at Riga are not a8 difficult as at the Dardanelles, the problem at the two places is about the same, the engagement of strong land fortifications by a fleet. German war technique on land has had vast instruction for the allies. If the attack on Riga is continued, we shall see whether their sea technique there has any instruction for the allies at the Dardanelles. = = -~ Warsaw is now Warschau, and Petrograd is be- ginning to fear it will soon be the same old “burg” again. : — 8 r ARITHMETIC IN MISSOURI’S SCHOOLS. The first class in numbers will go to the black- board and write the sum $5,814,742. 2 Now, if we suppose this amount equals the total raised in Missouri in taxes and the schools are entitled to a third of it, how much will the schools get? Careful, Willie. Three goes into five once, with 2 remaining, instead of 1. Yours must be Jefferson City arithmetic. Vou'd put a bigger crimp in the school fund than the State House politicians. Now, you've got it right. Class, altogether, how much would the schools get? Again. Remember that—$1,988,247. If there are 660,451 enrolled school children in the State, how much is that for each enrolled child—$2.92, of course. Now we will see how well Arethusa can subtract and divide, and I want all the class to watch her very closely. If somebody said that $1,543,505 of the taxes were not taxes at all, how much remains out of the $5,814,742? Right—$4,271,237. | What, then, do the schools get? No, John- nie, you must not say that they get left. Cor- rect, Arethusa—$1,423,745. Arethusa is almost as good at subtracting as State Auditor Gordon. If Johnnie is so insistent on being heard from, he can tell us how much it is the school don’t get. Oh, that’s easy—$1,423,754 from $1,938,247. Well, then, the class may tell—$514,502 of course. What per cent is that of $1,938,247? Flossie has it right—26.6 per cent. Rie If the schools don’t get $514,502 and there are 660,451 enrolled children in the State, how much is it that each doesn’t get—how much is it that each child here today doesn't get? Correct again —77 cents. i You may now go to your seats and figure on this for a while: If 9896 country teachers in Mis- souri, teaching on an average 23.6 pupils a day, average $25.16 a month in salary, how much will they average in salary after 77 cents for each of their pupils, or 26.6 per cent, has been subtracted from the State money? While the class in numbers is doing this, the first class in language will write on their slates a definition of the word “ordinary” and also of the world “extraordinary,” and tell us, if they can, how many years an ordinary tax has to be paid in Missouri before it becomes an extraordi- nary tax.

Against the farmers of the United States no charges of disregarding the obligation of strict neutrality will be made by the most excited partisans because of the enormous harvest in sight. Huge crops will not expose them to the penalty of being attacked by moralists for en- gaging in a criminal industry. Their consciences are clear, and their pockets will soon be over- flowing. . A billion-bushel wheat crop and corn and oats crops that promise to come near breaking pre- vious records belong naturally to the normal pros- perity of this country. Upon the railroads, upon industry and trade and upon business every- where the effect is bound to be healthy and stimulating. In its mad craze for gambling in “war-order” stocks Wall street has again sud- denly had its eyes opened to the real sources of wealth of the United States. If Europe were at peace, if war munitions fac- tories were not running full blast on emergency orders, if the world had not been plunged into an orgy of bloodshed and self-destruction, the farm- ers of the United States would still have filled the grain elevators, taxed the resources of the railroads and kept the wheels of industry spin- ning from coast to coast. This is not war-made prosperity, but prosperity of the old American kind. . Forty-eight per cent of the attendance in the Jewish summer school was non-Jewish. The melting pot is not a failure i he — a we ENGLAND'S MOSQUITO FLEET. England’s tentative solution for its very seri- ous submarine problem will be swarms of speedy motor boats, each armed with a rapid-firer. They will be able to travel two or three miles in the few moments a submarine occupies in prepara- tions for submerging. By covering coastal waters and channels with them, it is hoped that no sub- marine will be able to show its head without exposing itself to the danger of instant attack. The plan seems promising. If it is successful, the Mistress of the Seas will owe to the smallest form of naval construction it is prudent to sub- ject to ocean strains its protection from the great- est sea peri] it has ever had to face. And that at the end of a period during which the whole tend- ency in naval planning has been toward greater and ever greater magnitude and power. On land, hand grenades, bayonets, individual armor have been proved still to have value. That earlier means of fighting have not yet become obsolete may also be shown at sea. President Madison's tiny gunboats have been much ridi- culed since the War of 1812, but were doubtless designed to meet a need for special kinds of serv- ice.

Wide Stripes Offer Many Chances for Attractive Designs, Little Labor or Trimming Being Neces- sary— Linen, Voile or Silk Available. T has been said that the American summer uniform consisted of a white linen blouse and skirt. In- deed, there are a great many of them seen in the big cities, where they seem the most suitable and practical costume. Amidst the bustle of business and in the atmosphere of stately stone build- ings where a patch of grass isn’t seen once in 20 blocks or more, one feels out of tune in anything dainty. How- left them in his office together. 2 to feel that a shirtwaist and skirt is the only proper garb is a pity, for do we not, one and all, cling faithfully to the suit and blouse through the fall, winter and spring? And when the warm season ‘arrives, should we not re- ward your constancy with a real change? There are always delightful materials offered us sufficiently sub- stantial in quality and sedate in de- sign to be infinitely approprite for city streets, developed along simple lines for a summer frock. This year the wide stripes appeared and we could not possibly avoid them, no matter how conservative we were. But few in reality cared to resist the lure of these pretty stripes which promised. the effect of modishness to anyone who wore them. They demana- ed but little labor in making, for little or no trimming was necessary. In linen or voile or silk any number of fetch- ing one-piece frocks may be seen lend- ing their colorful charm to the back- ground of downtown buildings. Some may say that these colored stripes have been run to the ground, but, in general opinion, they have not nearly run their course. One can im- agine some wonderful color schemes introduced by them in woolen goods of exquisite texture, which, combined with | Plain material, would surely create some smart costumes. For a combination of different ma- terials is the design here shown. If stripe should be desired for its devel- opment, the model at the left wouid be a good guide, though a wide check or plaid is pictured on it. The stripe could run crosswise on the plain waist, and also on the panel trimmings of the skirt. In a quarter or half-inch red and white striped voile, plain white to be acquainted.

Then the Sunday day widow moved next door and they had their frst taste of matrimonial un- pleasantness. The Sunday widow was a very charming young woman, who wore a wedding ring, tn addition to sev- eral others, and had two children about as near perfect as children can be. She also had a husband—a mysterious person, who went to work very early and returned very late, and was said to be a man of extraordinary ability who drew a good salary, and was short- ly to become a partner in the firm for which he worked. He was sometimes seen about in the evening, mowing his lawn and pleying with his children on the porch. He Was tall and strong and well-tanned, a typical outdoor man. But from Friday evening until late Sunday evening he withdrew to unknown parts, and the plight of his wife was such that the young married woman next door called her a “Sunday widow” and felt sorry for her. It was not long before they were exchanging a word or two, then a front porch visit occa- sionally, and finally a back porch visit every nom and then. Thus the whole story came out.

Golden Buttercups By Mrs. F. Sandman story which tells of how, long ago, this flower re- ceived its rich, yellow color. A. Walker. T was a great night with the faities. | The Queen was busy dressing the baby, the tiny maids were flitting | about from flower to flower, and even Squank, that funny little goblin, was as excited as if he were going on a trip. For it was the night for the new baby to be christened. Just before it was time for the cere- mony to begin Squank received a note to hurry to the Queen, and when he got there he found her in quite a state of mind. “Oh! Squank,” she exclaimed, some- thing dreadful has happened.“ „What?“ exclaimed the little goblin in terror. “Why, I forgot to invite the green dwarf to the chistening and he is aw- ful angry,“ wept the Queen. “He sent me, word by a dragon fly that he would get his revenge. What shall I do?” Squank spun around three times on his heel, scratched behind his left ear with one toe of his right foot, then re- | plied: “I will keep on the watch, trust me. Let everything go on as usual and I will keep a lookout for his royal highness, the green dwarf.” So the feast began. The tiny baby lay cra in the blossom of a lovely white ver, whose petals were like flakes of snow. There it lay, a pink, dimpled wee mite, as beautiful as a dream, clothed in gold tissue sewed with tiny pearls. IGHT m thé middle of the rejoic- — ing there came a sound of whirr- ing wings and a. huge eagle swooped down on the party of fright- ened fairies. On its back rode the hide- ous green dwarf. The dwarf seized the flower which held the baby, broke it from its stem and in a moment the. great bird was rushing out into the night—but not before Squank had got hold of its great legs. There he hung as the eagle beat through the air to- ward a great forest that loomed up in the distance. i At last the eagle swept downward and alighted at the mouth of a cavern whose door was hidden by pines. ‘ine dwarf alighted, and taking the baby in his hand, ran. back into the cave— but Squank was at his heels. ‘The inside of the cavern was lighted by a great fire over which hung a boller kettle. The dwarf bent over to stir the porridge, and that gave Squank a chance to climb on the table on which the dwarf had placed the white flower containing the baby. Here he hid be-. hind a big cup. Be “Well,” said the dwarf, as he came over to a cupboard on which lay two SO, rie small silver bottles, “I guess I can get even with the Queen now. I will pour Some of this liquid on the baby, and it will turn green—how angry it will mako her to find a green baby in her room in the morning.” “Well,” he continued, 1 must be careful and use the right bottle, for if I got the Wrong one it will turn the baby a golden color.“ Men, as the pot began to boil over he ran to the fire. Now Squank had an idea—if the baby had to be turned any color, it had better be golden than green, so he ran upon the cupboard and: charged the rlaces of the two bottles. Hi dwarf took up the wrong bottle 7 and carne over to the table. As he raised the bottle to pour out the Magis liquid the pot boiled over a second time. the porridge spilling out on the fire and putting out the blaze. As this was the only light the cave had, it was now almost dark. So Squank jumped over to the flower, jerked up the baby and hid with il again behind the cup. But the dwarf had not seen him and began to pour out the stuff from the bottle. It fell on the tiny white flower and turned it a golden hue, a lovely NO DOUBT THAT RESINOL DOES HEAL SICK SKIN When you know physicians have prescribed Resinol for 20 years in the treatment of eczema and other itching, burning, unsightly skin eruptions, and Save written thou- sands of reports meee It is my regular prescription for itching,’’ ‘*Resinol has produced brilliant re- sults, The result it gave was mar- velous in one of the worst cases of eczema,’’ etc., ete., doesn’t it make ou feel that ‘‘this is the treatment can rely on for MY skin trouble“ The moment Resinol Ointment touches itching skins, the itching stops and healing begins. ith the aid of Resinol Soap, it almost always clears away every trace of eczemn, ringworm, pimples, or other distress- ing eruption quickly, 2 the skin clear and healthy.

While the dwerf turned to relight the fire Squank seized the golden flower and placing the baby in it, hid both in his vest. Then he leaped from the table and in a trice was out of the cavern, racing like mad for home. At dawn he reached the queen and laid the baby, safe and well, ir. her arms. Then, tired and worn out, the happy little goblin sank in sleep or. her floor. But when ke awoke he found the gold- en flower still in his vest. So he planted it at once in the soft, warm moss.

His wife was in a quandary. She did not criticize her husband, but she did lead her neighbor to believe that she feared her children would grow up strangers to their father. Her perplexity was such as to invite sym- pathy, and she got it, not only from the young married woman next door, but also from other women in the neigh- borhood. And one or two who had suc- cessfully survived periods of Sunday widowhood suggested remedies which the new Sunday widow regarded with unfeigned skepticism. She said her fas- cinating rival had won him so com- pletely that there was no hope until old age made him too weak to totter beloved golf course. The and then the next door around his situation became acute, young married woman had a brilliant idea. She decided that since her own hus- band was a docile creature who never deserted her for the fascinations of golf, though he had been devoted to it before their marriage, he would be just the person to help the Sunday widow recover her husband. He was, there- fore, approached with great caution and finally apprised of the fact that he was to exercise his wonderful ability as a domestic diplomat on behalf of the Sunday widow next door. Naturally he balked, declaring that it was none 2f his business, but, after the fashion of docile husbands, he finally relented and agreed to do what he could. The news spread about the neighborhood, and he was watched with great interest. It so happened that the next Saturday after- noon the husband of the Sunday widow came home for something, and the dip- lomat took a long breath and p proached him. Soon the two men were the center’ of attraction in the block. They talked over the fence a few min- utes, then the husband of the widow stepped back and swung his arms anid explaihed something, then the diplomat swung his arms and began to argue. In a few minutes the diplomat went into his house and returned with a dusty bag of golf clubs, and his wife thought him very clever, indeed, for was he not going to show the widow’s husband that although he knew the game he preferred home to golf? The clubs were exam ined and tested and argued about, and then the diplomat returned to the house for his hat, and he and the man ext door went away and now there is an- other Sunday widow in the block.—In- dianapolis News.

The East has just finished trimming the Central States in the national A. A. U. events. Perhaps other instances could be cited.

By Harry S. Sharpe, At the end of the sixth round of the boxing bout between John Kern and Leo Kelly at the Future City Athletic Club last night I was called to Kern’s cor- ner and the boxer informed me that he had hurt his right elbow and was unable to continue. That ended the bout. Dr. Walker, the club physician, made an examination of Kern's arm and then stated that, while there might be a bruised bone, there was no indication of fracture or dislocation. Up to the time Kern elected to retire Kelly had the better of the bout, out- boxing, but not out-hitting, his oppo- nent. It was a slugging contest and Kern did nothing else, put Kelly de- viated now and then to push in some comparatively light jabs and punches. The latter worried Kern a whole lot and frequently worked him off balance, giving Kelly an 8 to come over with nard right crosses to the jaw. Kern exerted all his tremendous strength in hooking and swinging his hands to the face and body. Some of these blows landed with telling effect, but Kelly assimilated his punishment well and was never in danger. Kelly Hits Faster. Kelly was not averse to slugging and generally had the better of the extended exchanges because he is a faster nittor than Kern and placed his blows with more precision. There was no boxing science displayed in the bout, but Kelly did some clever work in nullifying the effects of Kern's heaviest bombardment by moving in so lose that Kern’s swings landed before they had traveled far enough to gather much force. Kern did manage to land some hard swings at arm's length before Kelly had time to e in, and a number of these landed on Kelly's jaws. But not enough of them landed to cause much of a e to the Irish- man’s nerve centers. They came slow ly and Kelly 7 time to get just a little inside of them and break the force, and they were not as damag- ing as they may have appeared to be to some of the spectators. When Kelly worked in close to Kern the latter generally covered his face and head with his glo ves, and it was at wyen times that Kelly shot in lit- an Louis vs. up 8 total of many points | ~ . h Kern's only chance to win was by a knockout, whereas Kelly was win- ning on points, with the. additional possibility. of landing a “good-night” punch.

POST-DISPATCH RECORD OF MARKETS | STOCK TRADERS REALIZE ON THE |2 RATE DECISION}: Market Reflects Considerable Selling After a Firm Spell at the Opening. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion’s decision in the Western rate case was the governing influence in the stock market today. Before the de- tails of the decision were announced the market ruled very strong, with sharp advances in most of the railroad shares. Then there was a period of hesitation, and on the news that the commission had declined to give the roads as much as they asked for there was general selling which led to im- portant recessions. “This movement was perfectly nat- ural, in view of the gains in the mar- kets of Monday and Tuesday. Some is- sues held notably strong, but the mar- ket in general showed a good deal of unsettlement in the later trading, a feature being the heavy liquidation in some of the so-called ‘war stocks.’ “The selling cf Crucible Steel, which was the weak feature of the ‘day, caused much concern. After the reac- tion there were frequent rallies, but the market moved erratically much of the time. Industrial stocks were less ac- tive. but prices declined with the rail- road issues when the selling move- ment was at its height. Canadian Gold Arrives. “The other development which at- tracted most attention was the arri- val of the gold shipped here from London by way of Halifax. The po- lice arrangements to guard the 30 truck loads said to contain $19,400,- 000 of the metal, as it was being turned over to the Subtreasury, were sighty spectacular. ‘The inflow of this gold at a time when the banks are finding it diffi- cult to employ profitably their idle funds in Wall street loans, led to interesting discussion as to what ef- fect the operation was likely to have upon the money market. Rates for money were not changed, but the developments in the foreign exchange market were again sensational. New low records were made for sterling, which declined to 4.745%, a recession from yesterday of 5 cent, while francs sold as low as 5.81144, compared with 5.78% yester- day. “These changes were all the more remarkable, in view of the heavy selling of American securities by for- eign holders. The liquidation was most pronounced in the railroad shares, and reflected the disappoint- ment of the London speculator at the limited extent of the freight rate advance. “Just what influence the arrival of this large shipment of gold, together with the arrangements to make large advances upon the security of the collateral sent from London will have on the exchange market will depend Bi tne chonte upon the extent to which he creaton of the resultant credits have been anticipated. The weakness of the exchange market, in the face of all that has happened to strength- en sterling rates, is perhaps the most interesting feature of the situation. Exchange Market Weak. “At the low price quoted for francs today, the market for French exchange was on a basis where one dollar would almost purchase six francs. This situa- tion was unprecedented and shows how strongly all the foreign exchanges are moving in favor of the United States In contrast with the weakness of ex- —.

This was ex- plained by the completion of the ar- rangements to pay off the issue of Rus- sian acceptances sold to New York banks a few months ago. Selling was renewed in the last hour, when many of the active shares de- clined to the lowest level ofs the day. Many of the railroad stock became weak on this movement, and together with the highly speculative issues in the industrial list showed declines ranging from 1 to 10 points from the high level of the day. “The market became active on the decline, and such stocks as United States Steel, Reading, Crucible Steel, Westinghouse, American Can, Pressed Steel Car and American Car and Foun- dry were offered at recessions, and some of the tate selling was based on a report that the advance in freight rates granted by the commission would not add more than $1,600,000 annually to the revenues of the roads affected.“ Sa Oil Quotations, TINSERD OIL—Quote in lots of from 1 ts COTTON 4 — 2 r white o. sum salad 620: i RF ite 5 1 a 3 580 per gallon for raw and 800 “COT SEED OIL~—Winter white do yellow 62c: yellow 2 58 85 sone or — * on 180 Ve oe Sa | 12%c for No. 2 in = tae titles Ic ver pound FINANCIAL 10c line: minimum, 8 lines.
