ACTION FOLLOWS SUITS FILED HERE Answer to Petitions of Com- monwealth Steel Co. Ad- mitted Insolvency and In- dicated That Action Was Friendly One. Benjamin F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain rail- roads, was appointed sole receiver for those two lines today by United States Circuit Judge Elmer B. Adams, who con- sidered an application for a receivership at Woodstock, Vt., his summer home. Edward J. White, w: . has been gen- eral counsel of the railroads, vas ap- pointed to be general counsel to Receiv- er Bush, and George C. Hitchcock, for- merly a Circuit Judge in St. Louis, was appointed to be Master. Judge Adams acted on a petition for ernoon by the Commonwealth Stcel Cu. of St. Louis, a creditor of the roads for $200,611. Insolvency Admitted. Tre Missour!

The railroads also gave their con- sent tc the arpointment of a receiver, indicating that the receivership suit was the result of a friendly, prearranged plan determined upon by the railroad of- ficials in their efforts te reorganize the two railroad companies. ie. a + Both the Commonwealth Stel Co. and the railroad companies agreed to urge the appointment of Bush as solé re- ceiver. Single Receiver; Preferred. Judge Adams was asked to appoint the receiver, so that the recefvership order would not be receivable in any other —o It was pointed out by the petition- rs that the appointment of a/single re- sive would be less expensive. In the Frisco and Wabash receiverships the courts appointed three receivers for each railroad. All interests felt that Bush had made a record for efficient management of the Miseouri Pacific and Iron Mountain, and. naturally, is familiar with all de- tails of operaticn. William E. Baird, former City Coun- selor and now a member of the law firm of Boyle & Priest, was at Judge A+ ams’ summer home. having gone there with a copy of the receivership petition which Boyle & Priest filed in St. Louis yesterday in behalf of the Common- wealth Steel Co It was learned that altorneys representing the Missouri Pa- cific and Iron Mountain also were there. so that there would be no délay in joining the issues in the receivership suit. The reason for presenting the receiv- ership matter to Judge Adams was that if a receiver had been appointed by a district judge in St. Louis, owing to the fact that the properties of the two com- panies are in several different. states, the receivership could have been re- viewed either by a Circuit Judge or by the Court of Appeals. With the origina) order of receivership made by a Cir- cult Judge, such as Judge Adams, the order will not be reviewable in any oth- er court. Circuit Judge Adams made the receiv- ership order in the Wabash case, ani Circuit Judge Sanborn made the order in the Frisco case. Bush Issues Statement. President Bush, shortly after being no- tified of his appointment as receiver, gave out the following statement: “ The receivership of the Missouri Pa- cific-Iron Mountain lines, considering the financial condition of both compa- nies, was the only alternative left to preserve the property and the various interests for the benefit of the credi- tors, the stockholders and the public. “During the four years that I have give the public the best service of which the lines were capable. “It is needless for me to say that I a receivership filed late yesterda-- aft-, ROYAL EDWARD. ; | British Transport Sunk With 1000 Men by Ge?man Submarine MAN FALLS HEAD DOWNWARD INTO A GOAL HOLE He Is Discovered Wedged in Place-—Breaks Iron Cover in Descent---Seriously Hurt.

The Hogans succeeded in pulling the man from the hole and he was sent to the city bospital, where he eaid he was Edward Duffy, 2% years old, of 2405 Sarah strect. Duffy said he had be2n drinking last night and he could not tell what had happened to him. Investigation by the poli¢e showed that he had evidently fallen from a window in the second floor hallway of the house, which is in charge of Mrs. Anna Quinlan. Duffy’s hat and coat were foun) near the win- dow. Mrs: Quinlan said that shortly before 6 o'clock this morning she had noticed a man sitting in the window with his back to the street. She said she did not recognize him, but supposed he was a friend of one of the boarders. Duffy said he did not know anyone in the house from which he took his headlong fall and couldn't tell how he came to go into the house. Several :ears-ago he lost a portion of his right leg and he wears a wooden leg. His right arm is paralyzed. Physicians at the city hospital found that Duffy had suffered seven scalp wounds, as his. head broke the tron cover of the coal hole. His spine was scraped and he has numerous. other bruises, but is expected to recover.

A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elzey G. Burkham this morning at their 3%) North Union boulevard. Mrs. Burkham, before her marriage, was Miss Lois Ann Campbell, daughter of the late James Campbell, the multimil- lionaire whose will was unsuccessfully contested last spring. Mrs. James Camp- bell, the grandmother, said the baby weighed seven and three-quarter pounds and was ‘‘very pretty.” The advent of an heir in the Burkhan family may have considerable bearing upon the time when St. Louis Universi- ty, the ultimate legatee, will come into possession of the Campbell millions. Campbell, in his will, provided that in the event his daughter shall die leaving child or children surviving her, the (‘ampbell estate shall continue to be held in trust until the death of his wife, and yntil 21 years next following the death ef his daughter, if her surviving child’ or chjdren shall so long live, and there- upon the trust shall cease and the estate be turned over to the university for its medical school. Campbell provided the estate should go to the university upon the dea®h of his wife and daughter, provided Mrs. Burkham should die without leaving child or children surviving her. In the event Mrs. Burkham should die and leave child or children, Campbell provided that $1,000,000 wae to be set apart for the children, the income to be used during their minority for their edu- cation and maintenance. Campbell pro- vided, however, that if Mrs. Burkham should leave but one child surviving, the child was to receive more than $24,000 a year until of age. If there shall be more than one surviving child, Campbell | provided that the income from the $1,- 000,000 trust fund should be divided equally between them.

LONDON, Aug. 17.—The British transport Royal Edward has been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. Announce- ment to this effect was made officially today. Six hundred men were saved out of 1382 soldiers and 220 other nersons on board. The text of the announcement follows “The British transport: Royal Edward was sunk by dn. enemy, submarine in the Aegean last Satureéay morning. Ac- cording to ‘the information at present available, the transport had on board 82 military officers and 135 troops, in addition to the ship's crew of 220 offi- cers and men. “The troops consisted mainly of rein- forcements for the Twenty-ninth Divi- sion and details of the royal army med- ical corps. “Full information has not yet been received, but it is known that abour 600 have been saved.”’ So far as has been reported officially, this is the first instance in which a British transport has been attacked successfully by a submarine. It had been a matter of pride with the British Government that it had transported hundreds of thousands of troops across many seas without the loss of life. It is probable that the number of troops sent to France and Belgium since the begin- ning of the war is considerably in ex- cess of 700,00. In addition targe. num- bers of men’ have been transported tv the ,Dardanelles, Egypt, South Africa and Servia, and other great numbers have been biought from the British dependencies.

Thus the toe of the boot is the west- ern end of the peninsula, the extreme point of which is Cape Hellas and the notable feature the town of Sedul Bahr, the site of the Turkish forts commanding the entrance.to the straits and the scene of the first fighting. Eastward from Sedul Bahr along the sole of the boot to the heel is slightly less than 10 miles, and exactly at the heel is the narrow point in the Dards- nelles, commanded by a cluster of Turkish forts on the Gallipoli Penin-| sula and faced by others on the Asiatic shore. Now, going east along the other shore of the peninsula at the point which corresponds to the ankle is a curving bay—beginning at the hill of Gaba Tepe and ending at Suvia Bay—a stretch of three or four miles, dominated by the ridge of Sari Bahar, some 900 feet over the Gulf of Saros. From Cape Hellas to Suvla Bay is perhaps 12 miles. At Gaba Tepe, the ankle, the Gallipoli Peninsula is about five miles wide; at the toe, between Sedul Bahr and Cape Hellas, less than two. Now, the objective of the allied forces is the cluster of forts just under the heel, above the village of Kilid Bahr. To reach this twu ways ‘were open. Troops could be landed along the shore of the ankle from Gaba Tepe to Suvla Bay. Théy also could be landed at tho toe from Cape Hellas to Sedul Bahr, and just under the toe at Morto Bay— the best landing place of all, but un- east of Cape Hellas as far as Gaba Tepe to make landing vperations difficult . Jj Landing the First Problem. The first problem of the allied com- mander was to get his troops ashore, every available landing place at once, landing party by the “Turks, who could easily concentrate overwhelming numbers at any threat- The landing was made mainly at the toe from Cape Hellas to Sedul Bahr. Meantime the French landed on the Asiatic side, and for the moment so to Bay was occupied. At the same time other parties were put ashore at the ankle, above Gaba Tepe and below it on the instep east of Cape Hellas and Gaba Tepe. But these two landing parties whatever. Once the main force’ was ashore it moved up the toe to the boor, stretching a line straight across the But after having progressed for some three miles it reached the first strong defensive position, that of Achi Baba. Here is a line of hills stretched straight across the peninsula, rising ab- ruptiy from the Gulf of Saros ‘to an elevation of 40 feet, and from the Straits to 500 feet. Midway across the peninsula, and just east of the village of Krithia, is the dominating hill of Achi Baba, 709 feet high. Coming east from the toe this posi- tion is reached by a steep escarpment. It wae strongly fortified by the Turks. It was impossiMe for the guns of the fleet to be of much service because the contuur of the country compelled them to lle far out to get the necessary ele- vation. Against this position the allied forces moved on the first day after they landed, but they were halted there and have been unable to make any substantial progress 1owerd Kribia. Second Force Checked. Meantime a second force, landed above Gaha Tepe, was designed to move south acroes the instep, thus arriving in the checked along the face of the Sari anything but hang on since. It is only within the last few dayé that a force landed further up at Suvia Bay has come south along the ankle and begun: to climb the Sari Bahr ridge. * iP Se ertae Cie SIMONDS. T the outset of any discussion of the Dardanelles campaign it is neces- sary to describe the comparatively simple geographical circumstances The Gallipoli peninsula is perhaps 50 miles long, extending westward from the European mainland, with the Dardanelles straits at the south and the gulf of Saros at the north. But only the western tip of this peninsula has yet been involved in the struggle. To master the topography of this, Sir Ian Hamilton, in his first report of operations has supplied an admirable figure. Accept this figure and the relation of the important details to the main campaign can easily be set forth. He compares it to sides this position rises from deep ra- vines and it is fair to assume that it has been thorovghly fortified. Briefly, then, the situation in the Gal- lipoli peninsula is this: the first land- ing party has moved east along the boot for three miles and there has been checked. The check came in the first daye of May, and since that time there has been only slight progress incident to siege work. The check took place be- fore the first defensive line, which still holds. A sesond landing party, getting eshcre at the ankle, has been held almost on the beach and is evidently just beginning to progress toward the rear of the first defensive position of the Turks. If the Turks lost their first position at Achi Baba they still nave the strong- er Pasha Dagh positions: but if they lose this, then the forta on both the European and Asiatic side are doomed because they are commanded by the landward hills en the Gallipoli penin- sula. The fall of these fcrts will open the Straits and Constantinople cannot be defended against a lhcatile fleet. What Allies Have Done. But it is essential to remember that in four months the alijes have not pro- gressed four miles, that most of the progress was made in the first rush; that the country is adinirably adapted to defense; the hills are separated by steep ravines, the fleet is able to ren- der only a limited amount of help, and the whole allied force is within range of the Turkish heavy artillery. Above all, iz is necessary to remember that the allies have not yet reached the main defensive position of the Turks at Pasha Dagh, which jis fa: strenger than the line at which they have been halted. As to the possibilities of cutting the Turkish line of commun’'cations by land, the only line is the roa‘l coming from the east entering the Gallipoli penin- sula at the Bulair neck, which is only about three miles wide. But this neck ‘is strongly foitified. Westward the road follows the Lurdanelles shore and can- ‘vot be cut until the ellies have got clear across the peninsula. Even the. there remains the water route, which slight, unless a Bulgarian attack submarine operations. The question of the nun bers and the ammunitien supply of the Turks re- main in doubt. If the ammunition is failing them, allied success is inevitable. It is hard to believe that Turkish num- bers are yet failing, and until they fail cr the ammunition-gives out the strength of the Turkish position is such as to make the prospect of allied success is only partly interrupted by allied through Thrace draws off Turkish forces and ultimately reaches the Sea of Mar- mora at Rodosto, as did that of 1912, thus cutting the landward route from Gallipoli to Constantinorle. This situation explains the allied ef- fort te persuade Buigaria to enlist. Turkish losses in the Ceucasus, about Gallipoli and Egypt, make it unlikely that the Turks would succeed now as they failed at Lulle Brvgas in 1912, in checking a Bulgar advan«e to the Chat- alja. But short of such an advance, or the landing of a Greek or Italian expe- dition at Enos, on the Gulf or Saros, which should perform the same task, it is hard to see how the allies can win while Turkish ammunition holds out. BODY OF MAN WHO DROWNED WHEN DUCKING GIRL FOUND Young Women Who Had Been With Searchers Daily First to See Richard R. T. Hains. The body of Richard T.

FRENGH Private Manned Gun While Gas Enveloped Him; Reconnoiter- ers in Thrilling Escapades. Special Correspondence of the Post- Dispatch. ' LONDON, Aug. 9%.—Gen. Sir John French includes the following mention of personal heroism in a recent official dispatch: “During one of the heavy attacks made against our infantry gas was seen rolling forward from the enemy’'r trenches. Private Lynn of the Second Lancashire Fusiliers at once rushed to the, machine gun without waiting to adjust his respirator. Single-handed he kept his gun in action the whole time the gas was rolling over, actually hoisting it on the parapet to get a bet- ter field of fire. Although nearly suf- focated by the gas, he poured a stream of lead into the advancing enemy, and checked their attack. He was carried to his dugout, but, hearing another at- tack was imminent, he tried to get back to his gun. Twenty-four hours later he died in great agony from the effects of the gas. “A young subaltern in a cavalry regi- ment went forward alone one afternoon to reconnoiter. He got Into a wood, 1200 yards in front of our lines, which he found occupled by Germans, an4é came back with the information that the enemy had evacuated a trench and were digging another—information which proved most valuable to the ar- tillery as well as to his own unit. “A patrol of two officers and a non- commissioned officer of the First Cam. bridgeshires went out one night to re- connoiter a German trench 350 yards away. Creeping along the parapet of tre trench, they heard sounds indicat- ing the presence of six or seven of the enemy. Further on they heard deep snores, apparently proceeding from a dugout immediately beneath them. Al- though they knew that the garrison of the trench outnumbered them, they de- cided to procure an identification. Un- fortunately, in pulling out a clasp knife with which to cut off the sleeper’s iden- tity disc, one of the officer’s revolvers went off. A conversation in agitate1 whispers broke out in the German trench, but the patrol crept safely away, the garrison being too startled to fire.’’ Outlying Forts at Kovno Taken by German Troops Continued From Page One. 4:30 a. m. and 5:20 a. m.

Grand Duke Nicholas, the Rus- sian commander in chief, will not be able to assure the safety of his armies until the menace presented by the op- erations of Field Marshal von Hinden- bu in Courland is removed. In the Battsk district Courland, the German army has been driven back toward the AA River, which, with Kovno, still is stemming the German tide. Between the Narew and the Bug the German drive evidently is making some headway. Along the middle Bug, the Avstrians and Germans have forced sev- eral crossings. If the Russians plan to hold the valuable transverse railroad running through Vilna, Grodno, Bialy- stok, Brest-Litovsk and Kovel they must soor check the Austrians and Germans éGefinitely. From the standpoint of the entente allies, the near-Eastern situation is clearing with the assertion, officially in- spired from Nush, that Servia’s atti- tude is not irre®onciliable, but that the settlement must be more general than » mere rectification of frontiers in one locality.

LONDON, Aug. 17.—A record of the deeds of gallantry performed by officers and crews of British ships in the Dar- danelles during the bombardment of the forts subsequent to the landing of troops is given in a repert by Vice Admiral John M. de Robeck, commander of the allied fleet in the Dardanelles, which was published in the Official Gazette Sunday night. Admiral de Robeck tells in simple sail- cr language of the work of the Mediter- ranean fleet, devoting the greater part of his report to the officers and men whose work was particularly note- worthy. As a result of the report, five Victoria Crosses and numerous other decorations have been awarded. With the exception of one, which is given to Commander Eric Gascoigne Rotinson for twice going alone into a Turkish gun position and each time de- stroying a four-inch gun, the Victoria Crosses go to officers and men who dis- played conspicuous acts of bravery in connection with the running aground of the steamer River Clyde, from which troops were landed, Five men who won the decoration for this work are Commander Edward Un- win, who, seeing that the lighters on which the mena were to reach the shore from the River Clyde were not properly placed, waded into water waist deep “ender a heavy fire and worked until he got the lighters into proper posi- tior, and Midshipmen F. M. L. D. Drewry and W. St. A. Malleson and Seamen W. G Williams and George MacKenzie, who assisted Commander Unwin. Awards also have been made to offi- cers and men who rescued the whole of the crew of the battleship Irresistible when she struck a mine and sank; to the officers and crew of the cruiser In- flexible who, under the greatest diffi- culty kept the vessel afloat after she was damaged by a mile; to the com- manders and men of minesweepers who undertook a most dangerous duty, and to the many other men‘who performed deeds of gallantry which under ordinary circumstances would have been consid- ered worthy of the Victoria Cross.

WASHINGION, Aug. 17.—The Ameri- can reply to Germany’s last note en the einking of the American sailing ship William P.

The note is regarded as putting the case well on the way to a settlement. It is ad- Cressed by Secretary Lansing to Am- bassador Garard at Berlin. The note follows: “You are instructed to grescnt the following note to the German Minister for Foreign Affairs: “Under instructions from my Govern- ment I have the honor to Inform Your Excellency in reply to your note of July 3 in regard to the claim for rep- aration for the sinking cof the William P. Frye, that the Government ef the United States learns with regret that the objections urged by it against the submission of this case to the prize court for decision have not commended them- selves to the Imperial German Govern- ment, and it equally rgrets that the reasons presented by the Imperial Ger- man Government for submitting this case to the prize court have failed to remove the cbjections cf the Govern- ment of the United States to the adop- tion of that course. Further Dispute Unprofitable. As this disagreement hus been reached Mafter the full presentatl..: of the views of both Governments in eur previous correspondence a further exchange of views on the questions in dispute doubt- less would be unprofitable and the Gov- ernment of the United States therefore welcomes Your Excellercy’s suggestion that some otter way should be found for settling this_case. The two meth- ods of settlement proposed as alterna- tive ‘suggestions In Your Excellency’s note have been given careful considera- tion and it is believed that if they can be combined so that they may both be adopted, they will furnish a satisfactory basis for the solution of the questions at issue. ; “The Government of the United States has already expressed its desire that the question of the amount of indem- nity to be paid by the Imperial Ger- man Government under its admitted lla- bility for the losses of the owners and captain on account of the destruction of the Frye should be settled by diplo- matic negotiation and it entirely occurs with the suggestion of the Imperial Ger- man Government that the simplest way would be to agree, as proposed in your note, ‘that each of the two Govern- ments designate an expert and that the two experts jointly fix the amount of indemnity for the vessel and any Amer- em property which may have been sunk with her,’ to be paid by the Im- perial German Government when ascer- tained as stated in your note. It is assured that the arrangement will in- clude some provision for calling in an umpire in case the exper's fail to agree. “The Government of the United States notes your suggestion is made with the express reservation that a payment under this arrangement would not con- stitute an admission that American ttreaty rights had been violated, but would be regarded by the Imperial Ger- man Government merely as fulfilling a duty or policy founded on existing treaty stipulations. “A payment made on this understand- would be entirely acceptable to the Gov- ernment of the United States, provided that the acceptance of such payment should likewise be understood to be without prejudice to the contention of the Government of the United States, that the sinking of the Frye was with- out Jegal justification, and provided also that an arrangement can be agreed upon for the immediate submission to arbi- tration of the question of legal justifica- tion, so far as it involves the inter- pretation of existing treaty stipulations. “There can be no difference of opin- ion between the two Governments as to the desirability of having this question of the true intent and meaning of their treaty stipulations determined without Gelay, ahd to that end the Government of the United States proposes that the alternative suggestion of the Imperial German Government also be adopted, so that this question of treaty interpre- tation can be submitted forthwith to erbitration pursuant to article 38 of The Hague convention for the pacific settle- ment of international disputes. In this way both the question of indemnity and the question of treaty interpretation can promptly be settled, and it will b3 ob- served that the only change made in the plan proposed by the Imperial Ger- man Government is that instead of climinating either one of its alternative suggestions, they are both given effect in order that both of the questions under discussion may be dealt with at the same time. Policy in the Meanwhile. “Tf this proposal proves acceptable to the Imperial German Government, it will be necessary also to determine whether, pending the ab/trai award, the Imperial German Government shall gov- oi its naval operations in accordance with its own interpretation, or in ac- cordance with the interpretation main- tained by the United States as to ob- Higations imposed by tha treaty stipula- tions and the Government ef the Unit- ed States would be glad to have an ex- pression of the views of the Imperial German Government. on this point. “LANSING.” ENDS LIFE, LEAVING WATCH 10 “ONLY GIRL | EVER LOVED,’ Henry J.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH THAT COTTON [5 A MUNITION OF WAR Use in Making Gunpowder to Be Cited as Justification for Declaring It Contraband. U. S. TO RESIST STRONGLY Allies Prepared to Contend That Effect on Planters Will Not Be Far-Reaching. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Official an- nouncement of the decision of the allies tu put cotton on the contraband list is expected here at any time. The State Vepartment has been advised unofficially bu, authoritatively that such action is to te taken, and such information as officials have received, coupled with the latevt advices from London, sndicates that development of a plan for uniform treeztment of the subject by all entente ' Powers is all that is delaying a formal anncuncement. Anierican officials have been assured tha. Great Britain and her allies will take every acticn to minimize the em- barrassment to the American market. The wliies claim that they have Ameri- can precedent in the Civil War for their ection and that it will substantially make effective the Order in Council und accomplish by strictly legal means what has been attempted under the Order. It is generally understood that the United States Government will protest egainst the move. Japan's Course Uncertain, The step has been agreed upon by Great Britain, France, Kuessia, Italy and Belgium, but Japan’s a‘titude has not been defined and she muy decide that nv action is called for from her at this time because of the elimination of the enly German colony in the Far East from the military problem and the ab- sence of any reason for a blockade. Since the application of the British Orders in Council to cctton, the En- tente Allies have felt that some more effective and less burcensome method must be found for dealing with cotton and preventing its entry into Germany and Austria. The allies contend that American cotton shippers, in many causes alleged to be backed by German supital, have been shipping cotton to ‘jermany through neutral ports. irder.: ta Council Ineffective. Urée: she Orders in Council such a carg¢, ® captured, was merely taken into a Sritish port and j:aid for by the British Government. The allies con- tend that under those conditions a great deal of the cotton got through Sweden, Denmark and Holland into Germany. From the allies’ point of view, the Orders in Council were inef/ fective because they obliged the British _Government to buy cotton and*:at the same time offered an incentive to block- ade runners. According to the advices reaching Washington the pressure in England and France has compelled a change. The British Government originally regard- ed cotton as noncontraband and ex- pressed a desire to avoid inflicting hard- ship upon the Southern planters and to avoid development of an anti-British feeling in this country. The change to contraband will be defended as author- ized by international law. Great Britain protested against the American block- ade of outgoing cotton from the South during the Russo-Japanese War, but will now contend that radical changes in the conditions of warfare since that time justify a change in attitude. The entente Powers, according to ad- viees here, expect that the State De- partment will resist making cotton con- traband and are preparing to base their, action on American precedents. The ad- vices reaching here indicate they in- tend to argue that both Presidents Lin- coln and Johnson, in formal proclama- tions issued in April, May and June, 1865, went on record as maintaining as contraband of war “materials for the fabrication of ammunition.” Used in Making Gunpowder. That cotton has taken the place of salitpeter (always recognized as abso lute contraband), in the manufacture ot gunpowder, will be held to be an estab- lished fact and by way of convincing the State Department to that effect at- tention probably will be directed to a letter by Secretary Hay to W. W. Rock; hill, American Minister to China dur- ing the Russo-Japanese War, atating that the American ordnance officers, whom he had called into consultation regarding thep Japanese blockade or- dérs, had addressed him that cotton was used in the manufacture of smokeless powder and so must properly be regard- ed as contraband of war. Tt is expected that some sort of an _ arrangement will be proposed by which the allies will agree to allow cotton to vel unmolested to neutral! countries in quantities in proportion to their nov- mal consumption. What the effect will be on the American cotton growers is the subject of contention. The allied Powers are prepared to argue that it will not be ‘far-reaching. The cotton interests have for seme time been alarmed at the prospect, and it is known that the State Department has been preparing to resist the new move with every means at the command of diplo- macy.

While the physical co- dition of the properties has been ma- terially bettered within the last four years, it has been impossible to create the financial condition, indispensable to their preservation, without receivership. “TIT appreciate the loyalty of the offi- cers and employes of the company, and, in the operation of the properties as re- ceiver, I expect from them at all times, the same courteous treatment toward the public and the same loyal service to the companies that has existed in the past.’’ Prompt Reorganization Sought. From an authentic source a Post-Dis- patch reporter learned that the principal object of the receivership was to effect & prompt reorganization of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain companies, which was impossible without resort to the ccurts. The holders of some of the securities of the two corporations re- fused to co-orerate with the manage- ment of the railroads in the efforts that have been made recently to reorganize. It wage then that resort was had to a iriendly receivership action, by means of vhich the recurganization can be car- ried out under the supervision of the courts. Another object of the receiver- ehip suit was to conserve all the assets of the two railrcads under the control of a receiver. Officials of the railroad company be- lieve that by appointment of a receiver the reorganization scheme can be worked out within a comparatively short time and the properties restored to their owners. The failure of some of the se- curity holders to join in the plan of re- organization undertaken by the rail- road officials and most of the security holders created a condition likely to result in receiverships in state courts and the attachment of property. With the property in the hands of a receiver, the claims of all creditors will be treat- ed alike. In the reorganization plan, being con- sidered by those most heavily interested in the securities of the two rallroads, it is expected that the fixed annual inter- est charges will be greatly reduced Admits All Allegations. The Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun- tain, in their answers to the receiver- ship suit, presented their acknowledg- ment of insolvency as follows: “The defendant admits each and every allegation in the complainant’s petition and helieves it to be its duty to its stockholders and creditors to protect its property and business and treat th¢ same as a trust fund for their security, end it joins In the prayer of the com- plainant and consents to the appoint- ment of a receiver for all its property, as prayed for in the bill of complaint and for the reasons set forth in the bill of complaint, thereby to preserve the unity of its system of railways as it has been’ maintained and operated and tu protect and preserve its corporate tranchises, privileges and properties and preserve its corporate existence and pro- tect its property, real and personal, from being sacrificed under any pro- ceecing which can or may be taken, which would prejudice or sacrifice the sare. “The defendant prays that, inasmuch #:.* : as therg is no adequate remedy at law ?. 6, “oun? men, . . de j ee ee Cai TS se Se Oe a APL. be SP fe AAS Ae ite ee a as Pree es Swallow fr ‘ me | ’ ps - a ee ee, Site ° i “a st eet Fe ; ED Ree > - ° Prager t par 40" - tet age Ale py p veh ‘a as ‘ a fs P Ne ‘n the premises for the complainant or for the defendant, this court will, for the purposes aforesaid, take possession of the property and appoint a receiver as prayed for in the bill of complaint.” Action Regarded as Inevitable. The time limit for the consent of hold- ers of the road’s notes, to an extension of time expired last night. For several days it had been apparent that the ex- tension of time was not to be granted and that the receivership would be in- evitable. The issue of 6 per cent notes amounted to $24,845,000 and the holder’s of these notes were asked to grant a vear’s extension. The stockholders of the road were also asked to submit to an assessment of $50 a sharc. Late figures on the working out of the readjustment plan, which are con- tained in the receivership petition, say that the holders of $1,18§ GW of the notes declined to consent to an extension. These minority noteholders, or any of them, would have had the legal right to sue for a receivership and to avert this the steel company’s suit, which is considered a friendly proceeding, was filed. Asscsnments Opposed. a share on the stock. When this plan was announced, shares fell from $14 to $3. Only to have consented to the plan. Clarence Hi. Howard, president of the Commonwealth Steel Co., was the au- thor of the receivership petition. As u voung man and a mechanic he was an employe of the Missouri Pacific in its shops on Chouteau avenue. The petitions contain the same general allegation that the roads are unable to neet their outstanding debts and that in- terest charges on bonds and other ob- ligations are due and unpayable. It also is said that because of European war conditions the credit of the roads has been tinpaired and that therefore they will be unable to raise large sums which will be required to operate the roads in the coming fiscal year. It is alleged that the Missouri Pacific owes the Commonwealth Steel Co. $145,- 976.04 for materials, supplies and equip- ment and that it is unable to meet this debt. The petition asserts that the road has mortgage and lien debts amounting to $70,000,000 and that interest on this Cebt amounting to $7,700,000 and ins June 30 last has not been paid, while the company’s earning for the last year show a deficit of $1,300,000. It also is alleged that the company will be unable to raise $1,849,625 to meet interest charges due Sept. 1 next and there is grave danger that bondholders at that time will take court action to ep- force their lien on the property. The petition says it may be impossible for the roa to obtain an extension of $24,845,000 of 6 per cent gold notes whirh are payable June 1, as holders of $1,185,- 000 of the notes heve refused to grant sn extension. It also is alleged that $3,500,000 of the company’s $5,000,000 float- ine indebtedness is overdue and unpay- ab'e. Case of the Iron Mountain. The indebtedness of the Iron Moun- tain to the Commonwealth Steel Co. for materials and supplies is alleged to be r5.33%5. The road, according to the peti- tion, has mortgages on its property amounting to more than $140,000,000, the annual interest on which amounts to $6,700,000, it is alleged that in the fiscal year ended June 30 last the net income of the road was $2,750,000 smaller than in the preceding year and that the revenues and resources of the company are whol- ly inadequate to meet its operating °x- penses ard intcrest payments. It is alleged fr the petitions that the Missouri Pacific is the owner of a $2,- 600,000 issue of 6 per cent gold. notes issucd by the Iron Mountain and that the Missouri Pacific has pledged these notes with the Union Trust Co. of New York to secure an issue of Missouri Pacific 5 per cent gold notes which were due in June, 1914, and were extended for 4 44 the market price of| a | $44,394,738 small part of the stockholders are said | Mountain and the affairs of the two | companies have become so intermingled a year.

The prayer is the same in both pe- titions. The Court was asked to ap- point a receiver for the property of each road as a whole, to have an accounting of the properties made and to determine the standing of all creditors. Each petition also asked for an in- junction restraining officers and agents of the road from disposing of the properties or interfering with the business until the Court passed on the receivership petitions. Neither Company in Position to Get Funds, Directors Declare. statement was issued here today by the Missouri Pacific Board of Directors, following receipt of the news from St. Louis that a receiver had been appoint- ed for the road: “When the plan of readjustment dated July 1, 1915, was announced, it was hoped by the Boards of Directors of the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Mountain companies that securities would be promptly deposited in sufficient amounts to insure success of the plan and to | thereby make it possible to secure ade- quate financial assistance to’ meet the interest payment of Sept. 1, 1915. “Reports of depositaries under the plan show, however, that the deposits of securities are wholly insufficient for this purpose. The Missouri Pacific company is without sufficient funds to meet its September interest payment, aggregat- ing almost $2,000,000. “The Iron Mountain company already is in default in respect of interest due July 1, and in payment of other obliga- tions and is without means to remedy such defaults. “Neither company is in a position to obtain the funds required to meet its financial requirements of the near fu- ture. Accordingly, and in order to pre- serve the assets of the two companies and in the interest of their creditors and stockholders, the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain have consented to the appointment of a receiver and are pleased that the court has appointed Mr. Bush.” Jitney Driver Robbed by Passengers.

DENVER, Colo., Aux. 17.—The Su- preme Court of Colorado today issued a writ of prohibition barring Judge Gentry Hillyer from presiding at future trials resulting from disorders in the re- cent strike of coal miners. The writ was granted on application of Horace N. Haw..ins, and associate counsel for the United Mine Workers of America, who alleged that Hillyer was a former attorney for coal mining companies and _ therefore prejudiced against former strikers. The Supreme Court also granted a supersedeas in the case of John R. Law- son, labor leader, convicted of a charge of murder growing out of Colorado coal miners’ strike and under sentence of life imprisonment. The action allows the Lawson appeal to come before the court on its merits. The Court reserved its decision, on the request of Lawson's counsel, that he be released from jail on bond until after briefs are filed, in September. U.S. TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER DISGUISED AS A SUBMARINE McDonough Appears at War Game With Outline of Undersea Craft Painted on Her. NEWPORT, R. IL, Aug. 17.—The tor- pedo boat destroyer McDonough pre- sented a strange appearance when she sailed yesterday to join the naval war game off Block Island Black paint had been used over the battle gray sides of the destroyer to form the outline of a submarine and the shape of a peri- scope was painted on the middle of the funnel. 'Shore observers found the illusion ef- fective at a comparatively short dis- tance. Other destroyers have been painted with black and white squares to ob- scure their outline.

Damage: Gulf Storm Did Heavy No Lives Lost Continued From Page One. Barometrical disturmances, said the weather observers, indicated that the storm’s path might be similar to that of 1900, which swept over Galveston, de- stroying the lives of 8000 persons, then traveled northward through Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa. In addition to Galveston, Houston and Baumont, a group of lesser towns were cut off from communication with the outside world. It is believed the great- est havoc probably was wrought on the mainland, where crops and farm build- ings along the coastal plains were at the mercy of the wind, whose velocity it times reached 70 miles an hour. The United States weather service gave the inhabitants of this section ample warn- ing, and it was believed most of them |'took advantage of It. Already preparations have been made here and in other cities near by to rush relief where it may be needed as soon as transportation and communication facilities have been repaired. Reports from Galveston by last night’s latest arrivals in Houston told of comparative quiet among the _resi- dents. ‘ The streets of Galveston are reported filled with rain water, brt the level of the sea water was several feet below that of the city last night. Reports of water from the bay running through the streets were discredited, as the rain water easily filled the city’s storm sew- ers and flooded the thoroughfares. Safe From Gulf Waters. The last report from Galveston. re- ceived shortly after 8 o’clock last night, gave the wind velocity at 65 miles an feet of water in the streets near the hour, the barometer 29.0 and about ihree bay front. No great property damage had been done, it was stated. althouxzh the electric power plant had _ closed down as a precaution. The wind earlier in the evening had attained a velocity of 70 miles an hour or more. The last message from Galveston indicated the storm was abating somewhat at that point. Wind Was From North, Tre fact that the wind at 5 p. m. yes- Lerdav was blowing from the north at Galveston and the water which had backed into the streets was from the bay side of the island, led those who are fam'lar with the geography of the city and the history of its storms, to en- tertain new hopes that the gale would not result in a disaster. The sea wall is on the south side of the city and faces the open gulf. The waters of the day directly opposite ucross the mile-wide island are mere shallows except for the narrow ship channel. It is hard to conceive that any great damage might result from a wind blowing from a northerly direction and sweeping the bay water into the streets. The storm which devastated Galveston and drowned &8C@O0C persons Sept. 8, 1900, tore at the city for 12 hours from a southeasterly direction and piled great seas in upon the frame houses at the south side of the city, dashing them to kindling and making of their debris a floating ram with which to batter away buildings furthe: inland. The second great storm to which the citv has been subjected was July 19; 71909. after the sea wall had been built, «iving Galveston virtually the same pro- tection it has today. At the zenith of this storm the wind reached a velgcity of more than 8 miles and was consid- ered almost as strong as the 1900 storm. The wind and waves at that time beat full upon the sea wall which withstood the assault for several hours and proved itself the savior of the city. An iron railirg and a few bits of concrete were torn away, but otherwise the great bar- rier was intact. LARGE SHIP BLOWN THROUGH CHANNEL TEMPLE, Tex., Aug. 17.—It was stated at the offices of the Santa Fe Railroad here early today that a message had been received from Galveston saying that a large vessel had been blown through the causeway connecting Gal- veston with the matiniand. Two work trains were ordered t Galveston :to as- sist in repairing the damage. After losing their wrres to Galvestun early last night, the Santa Fe offices here retained communication with Al- vin, midway between Houston and Gal- veston, for some time, finally losing i‘ when the telegraph operator at Alvin stated that the water was about to cover his desk and he would be com- pelled to leave. Before going, however, he said that the water in that vicinity ranged from 3 to 10 feet in depth. A fierce gale is blowing here unceas- ingly and rain is falling. Plate glass winacows have been blown in. Trees are Gown and several buildings have been unroofed. Cecnsiderable alarm is felt. Afternoon Train From Galveston Not Yet Heard From, WACO, Tex., Aug. 17.—W. D. Azbelle of Waco, returning home this morning from Galveston, reported that water was running over the causeway when’ he de- parted at 2 p. m. yesterday. He waited this morning at Bremond four hours for a train leaving Galveston at 5:30 in the afternoon, but this train has not vet been heard from. Ship With 60 Passengers 42 Hours Overdue at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 17.—The \nited Fruit Co. steamer Marowijne, with 69 passengers aboard, from Belize, British Honduras, is 42 hours late and fears are felt for its safety. She has a wireless outfit but all efforts to get in connection with her have failed. Nire other slips which are overdue have beer. comm uniceted with.

GETS NEW CONTINUANCE The Children Charge That ‘John ‘ Wilkinson,’ Who Shields Identity, Annoyed Them. When the case of “John Wilkinson, the so-called ‘“‘man of mvystery,”’ charged by Grace Hill and Alice Nuste, chil- dren, with annoying them in Tower Grove Park, was called in police court today, Jones H. Parker. an attorney, appeared for him and asked a continu- ance to Aug. 27 to procure the attend- ance of necessary witnesses. The con- tinuance was granted. “Wilkinson” had obtained a continuance »esterday to to- day. “Wilkinson,” who has suceeeded in shielding his identity, vas not with Parker, but Parker said he was in the rear of tne courtroom. The prosecuting witnesses were there. After the con- tinuance had been allowed, Parker left the courtroom by one dowr and a doszen men who had been sitting in the rear of the room left at the same time by another door and sca*ttered. Parker re- mained in the corridor a while and then vent away alone. “Wilkinson” was a prisoner from 4 p. m Saturday until 11 a. m. yesterday, when he gave bond. TWO HURT IN FIGHT AT PARTY One of Men Says’ He Was Attacked With Wrench. Samuel W. Seaton of 1814 Arsenal street and Raymond Brown of #47 Cot- tage avenue were taken to the city hospital about 10 o'clock last night, both with badly lacerated scaips as the re- sult of a fight following a party at the residence of Mrs. Charices Carey, wife of a mall carrier, of W69A St. Ferdi- rand avenue. Seaton told the police that he was out driving in his auto- mobile when he met a friend who asked him to accompany him tc Mrs. Carey’s residence. He said they found some others there and later a few other men arrived and there was a quarrel. Seaton said that he and his friend went to a saloon upon the first floor and there he was uttacked by Brown, who had taken a wrench from Seaton'’s auto to use as a weapon. Joseph O'Connor of 44. St. Louis avenue is being held by the police has having taken a part in the fight. Mrs. Carey said sre did not know what the fight was about.

PARIS, Aug. 17.—The Ministry of Wax has issued a note saying that the pub- lished statements that the French troops are using poisonous gas are untrue. To Cure Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal! deaf- ness and head noises will be giad to know that this distressing affliction can be successfully treated at home by an in- ternal remedy that in many instances has effected a complete cure after all else has failed, Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of uw watch was plainly audible seven or elght inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrh, or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand to them, and you will have been the means of saving some poor suf- ferer perhaps from.total deafness, The prescription can be prepared at home, and is made as follows: Secure from your druggist 1 oz. ds - mint (Double Strength). about 75c worth. Take this home and add to it 4% pint of hot water and 4 oz. of gcrunulated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take one table- spoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to relieve the distressing head noises, headache, dullness, cloudy thinking. etc., while the hearing rapidly returns as the system is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Lioss of smell and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison. and which are often entirely overcome by this efficacious treatment. Nearly ninety per cent of all ear troubles are said to be directly caused by catarrlh: therefore. thee must be many people whose hearing “can be restored by this simple home treatment. Every person who is -troubled, with head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca- tarrh in any form apoula give this pre- scription a trial-—-ADV et een | eens LT OY SIXTH @ ST.CHARLES | iI We Give Eagle Stamps Beautiful New Taffeta Dress specially priced $ 5.20 The material is an excel- lent quality taffeta in black and white stripes ,and all black.

This removes any pimples, thiny, muddy or sallow appearance, and will make anyone’s skin clear, smooth and velvety. It does not show or rub off like powder; in fact, it seems a part of the skin; and for removing tan and freckles is un- equaled, It is necessary to shampoo more frequently in the warmer weather be- cause of excessive dust and the fact that the head perspires more anil is usually more exposed to the weather. The easiest to use and quickest dry- ing shampoo that we can recommend to our readers can be prepared very eheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox, obtained from your a t, in a cup of hot water, This rubbed into the scalp creates a thick lather, soothing and cooling in its uction, as well as very beneficial to After rinsing, the scalp is fresh and clean, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, de- vel a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy.—ADV. : ‘Quickwoop i ; I STATES | CONFER ON FUTURE OF THE MISSOURI Convention Assembles in Kansas City to Protest Against Check- ing Improvement. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 17.—Dele- gates from 12 states representing two- thirds of the productive area of the United States were present today when Chairman W. T. Bland of Kansas City called the Missouri River Protest con- ference to order. The meeting was called by the Kansas City Commercial Club to protest against the abandon- ment of improvement of the stream, as recommended by Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert Deakyne, a War Department engineer. The states represented by the 200 dele- gates were North and South’ Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansks, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tepnessee. Many delegates from the Mississippi River Valley declared they were here because they believed a blow at im- proving the Missour! River was a fore- runner of similar action regarding the Mississippi. The delegates said that they would formulate a plan that would make it plain to Congress that the Mis- souri and Mississippi River Valleys will not countenance the checking of water- way development. In his report Lientenant-Colonel Dea kyne asserted that ‘‘the present anc reasonably prospective commerce of the Missouri River beiween. Kansas City and the mouth was not sufficient to warrant the continuance of the preset project.’"” He recommended that tha present project be modified so as to provide for snagging alone at an esti- mated cost of $40,000 a year and that all other work be stopped. The plan for improving the Missouri River as outlined by a commission of army engineers and approved by Con: sress was to appropriate $20,000,000 at the rate of $2,000,000 a year for 10 years to clear the river so as to insure a six- foot channel, adequate for navigation Purposes from Kansas City to St. Louis Six million dollars have been appro- priated for the work since 1910. Missouri Valley Crisis. Discussing the report of Lieutenant- Colenel Deakyne, Congressman W, P. Bofland of Kansas City said: “A crisis has come for the industries ef the Missouci Valley. If this section of the country, located the farthest of any On a natural trade route, is to de- rive any benefit from the Panama Canal, the improvement of the Missouri River is instantly apparent. The Mis- sissippi River .presents a natural outlet into the Gulf of Mexico for South Ameri- can trade. If this is taken advantage of, especially by our grain shippers, addi- tional profit can be obtained through the cutting out eof the middleman in the form of the English jobber. “AS the situation now is, we ship raw wheat to England, chiefly to Liverpool, Where it is turned into the finished product and sent in English bags to the South American trade. Engiish labor tenefits thereby and the by-products are lost tc us in the transaction. With the establishment of hydro-electric plants in the Missouri Valley, and there are many fine points where they are available, the middleman is cut out and additional profit is put into the pockets of the grower. “The same situation holds good for inuch of our cunned goods and commod- ities. With direct trade routes, long hauls are obviated and additional profits enjoyed by the, producers. Kailroad freight rates have been brought down by the recent activity of the river, showing the result of healthy competi- tion.”’ Congressmen to Take Part, The following Congressmen in addition tov Borland were expected to attend the conference according to George H.

POUND STERLING VACATION SCHOOL AGAIN DROPS: Bit LOAN 1S LIKELY England Expected to Protect Her Credit by Issuing $500,- 000,000 Bonds. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The slight im- provement in foreign exchange rates gained in yesterday's late rally was wiped out at the opening of the ex- thange market today. Pound sterling again touch the bottom quotation of 4.64; francs made a new low record, 6.04, 2 cents under yesterday’s iowest quotation, and Italian lires were actu- aily weak, falling to 6.54,.7 cents under the closing figures of yesterday and 6 cents below the previous low record. As on yesterday, the exchange mar- kets were in a condition of demoraliza- tiorl. Quotation issued simultaneously by leading banking houses showed vari- etions of a cent to a cent and a half on _ sterling, with corresponding discrepan- cies in francs and lires. In the cha- otic condition of the market it was im- possible to ascertain whether these quo- ' tations represented mere offerings or actual business. $5,000,000 in Gold Received. Nearly $5,000,000 in foreign gold coin reached Wall street during the forenoon froin Ottawa for the account of Great Britain. This, it: was reported, prac- tically exhausted the Bank of England special deposits of about $120,000,000 there, nearly all of which had already been shipped to the United States. At the office of J. P. Morgan & Co., to whom the gold was consigned, it was said that no further consignments of gold from Ottawa had been arranged for or were expected in the near future. he arrival of this gold, however, failed to deflect the rate upward, the sum being but a small fraction of the bills which American manufacturers and shippers of war munitions and other suoplies are pressing against buyers abroad. With the American dollar’ en- throned as monarch of the exchange markets, bankerg here looked to En- giand to protect her credit by the establishment of a huge war loan in this city. Overnight cable reports from London telling that English bankers were talking of the estab- lishment of such a loan were dis- cussed with interest in the financial eircles as indicating that realiza- tion had at last come to London that pounds sterling were no longer the world's standard of finance. ~ * Dean Could Be Cared For. There seemed to be little doubt in the opinion of those familiar with the situation that should England seek to issue a loan of approximate- ly $600,000,000 in two-year § per cent bonds, free from income tax, outlined in cable dispatches as a suggestion for remedying the present situation, such a loan would be cared for here and the foreign exchange markets would be restored to some degree of equilibrium. In view of the fact that all con- tracts plaéed by the powers at war in the United States call for payment In dollars—and not in sterling, as had been the popular belief—Ameri- can bankers were inclined today to Jeave the situation entirely in the * hands of foreigr. bankers, upon whom fall the big losses due to the present depressed rates. The disruption of the exchange markets was reflected in today’s active stock market, where the foreign selling of American bonds was resumed, CHAUFFEUR FOILS PLAN TO ROB HANK AT BROOKFIELD, MO. Promises to Assist Two Men Who pyar Possession of His Car and - Then Gives Alarm by Ruse. BROOKFIELD, Mo., Aug. 17.—A plan tu rob the Wheeler Savings Bank here war thwarted yesterday afternoon by Farnest Benway, a chauffeur. Benway had driven two men about. five miles north of Brookfield, when they drew re- volvers and made him hide the car near the road. The men planned to tie Ben- way to a tfes, but they changed their minds and prcposed that he assist in the robbery. They promised him $100 if he assisted, end death if he attempted to betray them. Bonway consented and turned the car back toward town. When they reached Proekfield the car stopped. Benway tate an inspection “It's got to have _ some water,” he said. “I'll go into this houre and get some.”’ While the men in the car were waiting for him to emerge they noticed tele- phone wires to the house. Benway had called up the bunk.

An exhibit of the werk of the vacation school conducted since July 5 by the Jewish Educational! Alliance in the Pat- rick Henry School building, is at the City Club and wil remain through the the week. The exhibitss were made by 651 pupils who attended the scohol. When the school] closed its sessions a luncheon was served under the direc- fion of the teacher, Miss E. M. Todd, to 0 guests. Twelve members of the do- mestic science class served the lunch- eon which the class had prepared. Among the guests were Carl G. Rathmann, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, Park Commissioner Nelson Cunliff; President Thomas I. Rogers and Commissioner P. H. Cul- len of the Efficiency Board, Librarian A. E, Bostwick and Mrs. Philip N. Moore. Included among the articles on dis- pay were aprons, centerpiecés, nap- ins, bloomers, dresses, shirtwaists and embroidery from the sowing class and stands, kites, toys, benches, screens, camp stools, flower hoxes, sleeve boards and waste baskets from the manual training class. The average daily attendance at the school was 457. Children were urged to enter but no inducements outside of the benefit they would de- rive from the instruction were of- fered. One feature that attracted many was the daily shower bath af- forded each pupil. One of the entertainments for the boy pupils during the school term took place on an afternoon in July when Oscar Leonard, Superintendent, accompanied 200 of them to Robisin Field where they saw the Cardinals play. Each boy was supplied with a bottle of soda and a bag of peanuts. “The school proved itself without doubt a success,” said Supt. Leonard yesterday. “We have demonstrated the need for this branch of school work and pointed out its beneficia] aspects. It is our hope that the school board will, next year, take on the work where we left off.”’ ANTLANNEXATION PETITION SIGNED BY LEADING GERMANS Bernhard Dernburg and 81 Others Address Plea to Von Bethmann-Hollweg. PARIS, Auv. 17.—Humanite prints the text of the anti-annexationist petition acadressed to the German Chancellor, Dr. von Hethmann-Holiweg, on July 9, and signed by 82 prominent Germans, includ- ing Kernhard Derrburg, Prof. Adolph Harnack, Clemens Delbrueck and Prince von Hatzfeldt. This document Says: “Germany did not enter the war with the intention o* making conquests but to preserve her existence against the threatened coalition of her enemies. “We declare ourselves partisans of the principle that incorporation or an- rexation of pecples politically autono- mous or accustomed to autonomy must be condemned. The German Empire sprang from the idea of national unity and homogeneity. It would assimilate eleinents racially foreign only slowly and incompletely. “The danger that territories Germany would have to evacuate as a condition of peace might become ramparts for her enemies could easily be’ provided against in some other way.” National Liberal Party Demands Extension of the Frontiers. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 17.—Reso- lutions calling for the extension of Ger- man frontiers, as the result of the war, were adopted by the Executive Commit- tee of the National Liberal party, which met Sunday at the Reichstag. The reso- lutions made the following declaration: “The outcome of the present war can only be a peace which, by expanding our frontiers east, west and over seas, will protect us militarily, politically and economically against new attacks and compensate us for the enormous sacri- fices which the German nation already has made and is determined to continue until a victorious conclusion.’’ Complete confidence in Ernst Basser- mann, leader of the National Liberal party, was expressed in the resolutions, which announced that the party would stand solidly back of any government pursuing with unbending firmness the aims outlined in the resolutions which were adopted with only two dissenting votes. | oak viite Farmers to Give Fair and ‘ Bal.

Annexing Suburbs oleate ‘Gave Vill ages ( Controf f Safoons : Towns Benetited From Lower Tax and Utility Rates, Better Police and Fire Protection and Street Improvements. a By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. , CHIQAGO, Aug. 17.—When Chicago, a few years before the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, undertook to ‘increase its population and prestige by annexing 126 square miles of contiguous territory containing many thickly inhabited towns and villages which had sprung up around its ers, it wes confronted with some difficult problems. oo. How Chicago met and solved the problems is timely, now that St. Louis § considering the annexation ef St. Louis County, with a town and village on of almost 100,000. Post-Dispatch staff correspondent that the big problem that Chicago to meet was the one that has as- pb he aang in the discus- ( n in 8t.

By virtue of having made provisions Chicago has been able, 1808, to increase the area of its tory from 30 square miles to 196, and reaso its population by many hun- s of at Uinesante. The village of 5 Penk when annexed in 1889, had ulation of more than 100,000, and town of Lake, admitted at the same had @ population almost as large.

By the policy of continuous annexation and by its own growth Chicago was able to show a population of 2,185,826 in 1910, and expects to touch the 3,000,000 mark in 1920. Towns Didn’t Want Saloons. The suburban towns of Chicago took the Webster Groves and Kirkwood view of the saloon question. They did not wish to be annexed if their territory was to be invaded by saloons. The people of Chicago secured the en- actment of a State law -wwhich gave the people of the annexed territory abso- lute control of the saloon question. They could have saloons or not, as they wished. That law provided that: “When a part or the whole of an in- corporated town, village of city is an- nexed, under the provisions of this act, to other city, village or incorporated town, and prior to such annexation an ordinance was in force prohibiting the issuing of licenses to keep dramshops within said territory so annexed, or any part thereof, or providing that such licenses shall not be issuéd except upon petition of a majori:, of the voters re- siding within a certain distance of such proposed dramshop, then such ordinance shall continue in full force and effect, otwithstanding such annexation. * * * It is intended by this section to continue in full force and effect all ordinances of ‘any municipality, the whole or part of which is annexed to another city, tncor- porated town or yillage, whereby the licensing of saloons is prohibited or reg- ulated within said city, village or in- corporated town, or any part thereo’, without the voters of the territory so affected consent, as hereby provided, to the repeal of such ordinance by the city, village or incorporated town to which the territory is annexed.” The result of this statute is that vir- tually all of the territory annexed by Chicago during the last 2% years has come in as prohibition or local option territory. Saloons are prohibited in more than 29 square miles of territory in Chi- cago, under original ordinances enacted before annexation, and nearly two-thirds of the area of the dity is local option territory. Local Option in Chicago, Local option in Chicago. however, has a different meaning thaa in this State. By local option there is meant that no saloon license can be issued in such territory except upon the consent of a majority of the voters in the block in which the saloon is to be located, and all the blocks surrounding it. It be- comes necessary for the applicant to get the consent of a majority of at least five city blocks and, sometimes, more, before he can obtain a license to op- erate a saloon in local option territory. The City Ceuncil of Chicago cannot repeal any of the prohibition or local ‘option ordinances except upon consent of a majority of the voters in the af- fected territory. Under the law one- fourth of the legal voters of any prohi- bition or local option dietrict may have an election celled to voie upon the re- peal of the liquor restrictions. If a ma- jority of the voters of the district vote for the repeal, then the City Council of Chicago may repeal the ordinance or ordinances, but not otherwise. With the exception of one or two small districts, all of Chicago south of Thirty-ninth street is either pro- hibition or local option territory. The people have not shown any willing- ness or tendency to surrender their control over the saloons in this great district, embracing almost one-half of the entire city. It is Chicago’s policy to annex everything that is willing to be an- nexed, and some territory that is not, The Chicago map makers are ocontin- ually busy revising official maps. to keep up with the progress of annex- ation. Chicago always votes for the annexation of any town or village that can be persuaded to call an elec- tioh upon an annexation proposition, and sometimes annexes territory by ordinance. Under the Illinois law it is possible to make annexations, un- der some conditions, upon a two- thirds vote of the Councils of the towns or cities affected. Saloen Privilege Only Reserved. ' The many suburban towns which ~”- TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2 1915. found the effect of annexation on Mor- gan Park has been: A reduction fn the tax rate from $9.68 on the $100 valuation to $5.60, assessment being on one-third val- uation. A reduction in water rates .*om 17 cents per 1000 gallons to 7 c @‘s. A reduction in the electric light rate from 13% and 7 cents a kilowatt hour, net, to 10, 6 and 8 cents a kilo- watt hour, net. A reduction in the gas rate from $1 per 1000 cubic feet, net, to 80 cents. A reduction in street car fares from 10 cents to 5 cents. An increase in the police force from three men to 22. The substitution of a city fire de- | partment and automobile engine for a volunteer fire department:and hand equipment. The frequent and efficient inspec- tion of food by city inspectors in- stead of the infrequent and careless inspection by State inspectors. The free oiling of streets and roads by the Street Department of Chicago. The free repair of streets and roads by the Street Department. Privilege of Chicago city telephone rates, instead of thé local exchange rates. An anticipated increase in real estate values, upon the return of prosperity due to reductions in tax and public utility rates. Similar Benefits Elsewhere. Morgan Park had a@ prohibition ordi- rance in effect, before annexation, and went in as dry territory. Leon Horn- stein, Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, who has charge of legal ques- tions pertaining to arnexation, told the Post-Dispatch correspondent that all the annexed territory received benefits similar to Morgan Park—the Chicago Te ii water, 85, electric light, street railway | telephone and tax rates, befng applied to the néw territory as soon as the de- tails of annexation were completed. It has been the uniform experience of Chicago suburban towns “hat their tax rates were from 50 to 100 per cent high- er than the Chicago tax rate, on the game basis of assessment. Chicago has always been willing to bear the expense of absorbing the sub- urban territory. Through the policy of annexation Chicago has won second rank among the cities of the United States, and as there is much thickly pop- ulated territory on the western border almost ripe for annexation, Chicago en- tertains a definite. idea that within a few decades she will pass New York and take first rank. The Post-Dispatch cor- respondent was told that from the an- nexed territory Chicago has acquired the highest and most usefu! type of citizens. That portion of Chicago as it existed before the wholesale annex- ations of 1889 ig generally represented in the City Council by men of the “Bath House John” or “Hinkey Dink’ type, while the high-class, efficient represen- tatives come, almost without exception, from the annexed territory. As one Chicago man, familiar with inside poli- tics by reason of an experience of years, expressed it to the correspondent, the government of Chicago has been saved from the disgrace of serious scandal principally-by the high-class men drawn as legislative represematives from the annexed territory. Qpponents of Annexation, The office-holding class and the poli- ticians of the suburban towns around Chicago, and other persons who fre- ceived an income from the village or town governments, have generally op- posed anciiniian: to Chicago. The vil- lage newspapers, which profited by the publication of legal notices, almost al- ways opposed annexation. In Morgan Park the financial effect of annexation on the owner of a $5000 home, who used the C.reet cars each business day to g0 to and from! work in Chicago, for the period of « year, is shown in the following table: Saving in electric light rates.... Saving in gas rates The new rates went into effect tmme-| diately upon annexation. SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS ing on all trains to and including chair cars and coaches. Leave St. Louis, 7:50 A.

BY YUAN Srl RAI President of Republic Considers Proclaiming Himself Emperor —Change Within 2 Years. By Associated Press. PEKIN, Aug. 17.—The project of pro- claiming himself Emperor is being dis- cussed by Yuan Shi Kai, President of the Chinese republic, with his immediate supporters and Prof. Frank Johnson Goodnow of Johns Hopkins University legal adviser to the Chinese Government, who is spending the summer in Pekin. Prof. Goodnow, who obtained the con- fidence of Yuan Shi Kai by advice giver during former critical times, has been consulted on this question since his ar- rival here a month ago and it is learned that he approves the project. The news became public by the delib- erate publication in this morning’s news- papers of accounts of the formation by several prominent men of an asgociation for the purpose of discussing whether a monarchy is not the better form of government for China. ‘The published article telling of the formation of the society quotes Prof. Goodnow as decliar- ing that for China a monarchy is a bet- ter form of government than a republic and that “conditions are different in China and America and it is impossible to transplant a system from one coun- try to another.” Has Caused Sensation, It was learned from one of Yuan Shi Kai’s immediate supporters that if the project proved feasible, the plan is to establish the monarchy within two years. The news has caused a sensation in Pe- kin and is being telegraphed throughout the country. It is stated that Prof. Goodnow was asked to come to Pekin and that soon after his arrival Yuan Shi Kai consult- ed him on the question of a permanent organization and broached the question of a monarchy. The arguments of Yuan’s supporters, it is declared, persuaded Prof. Goodnow that a monarchy should be established if the people would accept it, and Prof. Goodnow drafted a docu- ment for Yuan, advising him on the method of establishing a monarchy. In the announcement ot the project, which is made to appear as coming from a group of leading citizens, Prof. Good- now is quoted extensively as a great ; authority advocating the necessity for 2 monarchy. This pronouncement says: Made No Blanket Statement. “As Prof. Goodnow is a citizen of the great American republic, he is more competent to maké suck. a statement than others.” ) Prof. Goodnow said tonight that he had made no blanket statement that a monarchy was better than a republic, but said that under certain conditions such as apply in China he believes a monarchy would bé better. _ The foremost arguments of the mon- archists is the danger of chaos reigning, ‘as in Mexico, at Yuan Shi Kai's death. The succession of Vice President Li Yuan Hang, who was the nation’s hero in the anti-Manchu revolution, but who has been a prisoner on an island in the winter palace grounds for the last two years, would, it is declared, be unsatis- factory to some of Yuan Shi Kai’s sup- porters because, it is asserted, they would be unable to control him. Yuan Shi Kai’s eldest son is an invalid owing to an injury to his head sustained in being thrown from his horse, while his other sons are uuimportant youths. It is believed that the project will be developed more or less speedily unless dangerous opposition is displayed throughout the country, which is con- sidered unlikely because the press is largely tontrclled by the Government, and the people apparently are willitg to accept any Government which will give them. a period of peace. China became a republic on Feb. 12, 1912, upon the abdication of the Emperor Kuang Su, following the revolution of the previous year. A provisional Consti- tution formulated by the revolutionary Government of Nankin was accomplished and under this a provisional Parliament met in Pekin on April 8, 1913. A per- manent Constitution was drafted and the articles dealing with the election and term of office of President ahd Vice President were passed by Parliament. Under these, Yuan Shi Kai on Oct. 6 was elected President for a five-year term. POLICE TRY TO TRACE SECOND MURDER TO SILAS EBERSOLE Indiana Man Who Hanged Seif After || Arrest for Killing -f Paszsel Macklin Thought to Have Slain Another. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 17.—It was disclosed by the police today that they are attempting to connect Silas N.

SOLDIER KILLED, TWO WOUNDED, IN FIGHT AT BORDER! Band of Mexicans Attacks Troop- ers at Mercedes, Tex., From Across Rio Grande. BrrOWNSVILLE, Tex., Aug. 17:—The border situation along the lower Rio Grande assumed a threatening aspect today. Gathering of Mexicans in force last night at Progresso, on the Rio Grande, 30 miles above Brownsville, and their daring atrack across the river on a troop of the ‘Twelfth U. S. cavalry, was not the cnly aggravating feature of the situaticn.. Authorities here re- ccived reports that 25 horses, including eome recognized as animals stolen by bandits in recent raids on the Texas side. were delivered this week in Mata- moros, the Mexican.town opposite here held by Carranza troops. Delivery of these horses and the fact that the Mexicans at Progresso had been gathering openly and in conspicu- ously large numbers for days, created suspicion among Americans that Car- hanza officials were lax in discipline or without sufficient dependable troops to cope with the bandit element on the Mexican side. The death of Corporal Willman in the fight at the Progresso crossing last night and the wounding of Lieut. Roy O. Henry and Private Jackson, intensi- fled feeling in this section that erup- tions by irresponsible Mexicans from the other side are likely to continue until the general Mexican crisis is settled. For nearly 20 miles atcut Progresso crossing alarms were sounded by rifle shots and by bells last night. Armed men patrolled roads and women and children were gathered where they could be guarded. Early today more trovps reached Mer- They were infantrymen from the Twenty- sixth regiment, which reached here yes- terday from Texas City. They were started for the Mercedes section yes- terday afternoon. Last night's fight at Progresso was fougnt entirely by Mexicans firing across the Rio Grande from the Mex- ican side, and ‘no Mexicans succeeded in getting through the American army patrol into United States territory, it was reported today to Col. Robert L. Bullard,. commanding officer of . the Brownsville district. .Col.: Bullard strengthened the patrols about Progres- sc and Cercedes so that there are WW cavalry and infantry in that vicinity. Reports by Mercedes officials last night that more than 180 Mexicans had crossed into Texas under cover of this fight proved to be unfounded. Officers who were in the Progresso fight said they were sure that all the firing came from the Mexican side of the. river.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 17.—William Jernings Bryan, looking much the same as ever and talking quite as fluently, presented the cause of the pacifist at the Independence Chautauqua last night. As he talked he vigorously waved a palm leaf fan on which he later wrote tis name and returned it to the owner. of grape juice and a gilaes of water. Bryan ig- nored the grape juice, drank the water and sent out for a bowl of cracked ice for his throat and face. Twice he was interrupted, and by the same voice. The former Secretary of State was’ speaking of general good will of other nations toward the United States. “Flow about Japan?’ came a voice from. the back of the tent. Japan Is Friendly. said Bryan, and On a table were two ‘‘ponies’”’ Knows ‘“T’'ll come to that,’’ ther, after a second’s pause: “You vio- late another ccmmandment, the one which bids you not to bear false wit- ress against thy neighbor. I have been in Japan and know that that nation bears us no enmity and the man who declares that it does is an enemy of this nation.’ Later Bryan spoke of the 30 arbitra: tion treaties signed under his admin- istration as head of the State Depart- meni. “Has Japan signed one?” the voice. “No,”’ replied the speaker. “To what nation does the gentleman who speaks of Japan belong?’ he asked. In the first half of his talk Bryan ap- plieit his examples abroad. “I have done this purposely,’ Ire said, “for we are apt to see more clearly from a dis- tance.’" Then Bryan brought his argu- ments home to the United States. , “Tne jingoes would have us accept uS a national code of honor the code duello,"’ declired the speake1. ‘“‘There was a time when questions of personal “honor were settled by this code. The custom was so strongly fortified that men fought duels, though they did not believe in the institution. It took many sentiment, but it has been changed, and during the time it was changing this nation saw many acts of heroism on the part of men who hated the practice and put their conscience into action. demanded Would Not Accept Challenge. ‘History records that a Georgia statesman, on being challenged, sent the following reply: ‘No, I have a family to take ‘care of and a soul ‘+o save. You have neither and we would not be on a parity in the field of hon- or.’ “I would hke to see this nation say to a challenge, should it come, ‘No, we have the welfare of 1909W0,000 people to care for and priceless ideals to preserve to the world, and we won't let down into the mire of hyman blood and wal- low in it. God forbid that the jingoes shall foist on us the duellists’ code as a national code of honor, and let us be thankful that instead of having in the White House a duelist, we have a man whose every Wish is peace.’ ”’ Bryan paid his respects to Major- General Wood and attacked the regular eervice. “The newspapers,” he said, “have quoted Gen: Wood at length of late and he has not spoken very respectfully of the volunteer soldier. I am giai tv say the volunteer soldier doeS not have to depend on the opinion of a regular army officer for his place in history. “It was the volunteer soldier - who fought the Civil War and all our other wars and will fight all our wars.” 19 PORTS HANDLED 85 PER CENT OF FOREIGN TRADE LAST YEAR WASHINGTO™, Aug. 17.—The 10 prin- cipal customs ports of the United States handled 8 per cent, or $3,777,000,000 worth of the unprecedented foreign trade in the fiscal year ending: June © Ilast, amounting to $4,443,000,000.

' Secretary Lansing’s note on the export df arms is more than a effective reply to the Austrian representations on the subject. It shows the hollowness of the cause to which the advo- cates in this country of'an embargo on arms have devoted persistent championship. The dispatch of the Austrian note seems now to be regarded as a blunder in Germany, but from one standpointit was a fortunate thing. It has ‘resulted in a thorough illumination of the subject lof munitions of war’as afticles of commerce and of neutral obligations. Mr. Lansing shows that our attitude is faultless when tested by international usage generally, and also by the practice of the Germanic allies them- selves in past wars, some of them of recent date. Both Germany and Austria sold munitions to En- gland during the Boer war, though the South Af- rican republics were cut off from access to the sea as the Teutonic belligerents are at present. The contention that The Hague agreement frowns on arms exports is answered by the cita- tion of the tett of the agreement enjoinifig pre- cisely the opposite rule, holding the practice should not be changed during the progress of war except in furtherance of the neutral nation’s own preparedness. It is under this exception that some of the smaller Buropean countries have prohibited exports of this character. They fear they may need the arms. How the national interest demands the mainte- nance of an open market for munitions, the extent to which we would be handicapped by inability to buy war materials abroad if we were attacked, and how a,change in the present usage would necessi- tate vast preparations for defense by peace-loving nations, inviting the evils of militarism, are con- vincing set forth. German authorities, the lan- guage of one being quoted, are cited to show that to lose unexpectedly the source of supply in this |country on which France and England and their [allies rely would be not a neutfal, but a decidedly unneutral act. The reply should put an end to the outcry in this country for an embargo. It is charitable to suppose that that outcry has been due in large '| part to ignorance of the law and the facts. Lack |of knowledge can no longer excuse.

From this standpoint Mr. Taft is one of the happiest of mortals. His chuckle when he touches on things that have hap- pened to him in polities is worth going miles to hear. . Mr. Taft’s unfailing good humor is only one of the qualities which have won increasing good will and confidence from the American people. His sincerity, breadth of mind and manifest desire to be fair in his judgments, without regard to person- - ™_ Wilson administration in crises affecting the na- tion and its international relations has been emi- nently fair. He has not hesitated to give the administration the benefit of hearty support and commendation whenever he believed its course right. There were many things he said with reference to the popular campaign against plutocracy, }monopoly and railroad evils, and its excesses in which men of all parties will agree. We are suf- fering to some extent from excess of reform zeal which, as Mr. Taft openly said is one of the inevit- able conkequences of necessary reform. Believing as thoroughly as he does in the value of representative government we do not indorse the sweeping condemnation of the initiative, ref- erendum, recall and popular primary. They are remedial makeshifts, and are far from perfect, but they have served good ends as weapons with which to destroy greater evils than aby that flow from their failings.

Comment is superfluous on the lynching of Leo Frank. It marks the climax of the nullification of law and government authority and the break- down of civilization in Georgia. The ease with which the mob got into the State prison farm and found Frank suggests the neces- sity of an inquiry into the conduct of the prison officials. The crime of lynching Frank has no relation- ship to the question of his guilt or innocence. Innocent or guilty he was being punished ac- cording to law and was under the protection of the State. The duty of the government of Georgia to ex- haust its resources to punish the members of the mob is so clear that it needs no argument. Gov- ernment by law is at stake in this case. = = i i 4 It is hoped that ex-President Taft’s tight shoes have not affected his understanding. = =~ rr Se RATIONAL STRIKE SETTLEMENT. An amazing thing about the teamsters’ strike was the trivial differences separating employers and employes. With the use of other methods these slight and easily harmonized differences might have caused an indefiuite suspension of a profitable business, the loss of tens of thousands of dollars in wages to men who could not afford such logs, and great inconvenience to the public. They might even have become the inadequate oc- easion of public violence and injury to persons and loss of life. Rational discussion of the issue showed how close together the two sides were after all. Fr. Dempsey was enabled again to demonstrate the eminent practibility of peaceful adjustment of labor difficulties. i A. VS A NATIONAL RESERVE. Written for the Post-Dispatch by F. N. RUM- BOLD, Captain, Battery A., N. G. M. The people of the United States are unalterably epposed to a large Regular Army. By “large” is meant 250,000 or more, Past efforts prove that it is impossible to main- tain an efficient national guard of more «han 1£0,000—even if it is possible to maintain that number from now on, on account of the unusual interest that has been aroused by the present gigantic struggle. It has been positively decided that the National Guard, as at present organized, cannot be used in a foreign country. To be available every fn-} Cividual member would have to voluntter in a new organization, an auxiliary army to be formed after the emergency arises, hence not available for first-line defense. The National Gu&ird, to be efficient, must de- pend upon the moral support of thousands of individuals who are intensely patriotic when the cost and inconvenience attendant thereon does not affect them personally. A National Guard, composed of business men (producers of their own livelfhood) under posi- tive national control, is not practical. The main reason for this impracticability rests in the fact that the War Department, in working out their » i? f . : cae by : Namal bia Oy ; ‘ : ~ x0) Abe ay seins ke eso pte Pl = = ‘ae | 7 Sip OFT ~ =? & Seon an Up k Lise ators dn HIS FIRST STEP.

It seems unkind to criticise so feeble an enterprise as the steamboat business on the Mississippi, but I will tell you what my experience was. Of course, most people who travel go to sea once in a while. At sea they are accustomed to an excellent table, well-ventilated and commodious staterooms, baths, fans—in short, all the comforts the service can pro- vide. is provided on the river boats. I could, not see any good reason for having the staterooms so small and so poorly-ventilated as they are, and it was suicide from a business point of view not to have set a better table. People traveling have little more to do than eat, steamship companies know this very well. They fairly feed people to degth. The trip was beautiful. It is a@ pity that it could not have been without fault. It was not that effort was not made to make it pleas- ant for us, or that the conditions were at all un- bearable. The service was not such as would attract people—that is the point. I understand some of the newer boats are improving the conditions. I hope so. .* te ee ee i ee i gl GG Oe eT all a ABOUT RIVER TRAVEL.

Mr.’ Taft’s judicial poise might be imitated to adyantage by other public men. é If I could take my family and get on a boat on. which we could be happy and comfortable I would rather go down to the St. Louis wharf and set out on a vaca- tion trip than go to Europe. Would it be a mistake for the steamboat people to provide us with that kind of service? I can’t believe it. Passengers are too purely incidental on most of the boats. If the companies want them at all, they should encourage them and look after them. People 46 not like being left to shift for themselves. A river trip on some of the boats today is not much improved over that de- scribed by Mark Twain in ‘‘Roughing It.’’ It is roughing it. That seems ridiculous. It is so easy to- be comfortable on the water—so easy to keep every- thing spick and span—fo easy to provide room and lounging. Why not? One doesn’t itke to complain I only do it becanse it seems to me the steamboat Were disposed To be a rout.

Many an employer would gladly let his employe attend camp could he do so without dis-| arranging his businss. The National Guard, as at present constituted, is not a stable and dependable organisation, , for the vicissitudes of life are such (change of bust ness and social environments-and location) as to preclude the majority of members serving for three years in the organization which they join. In case of great complications we will have to have an armed force of at least 1,000,000 men. Given a regular army of say 200,000, an avail- able National Guard of 200,000, we would still RC.

By Mrs. F. longing to Tiny Toodles, and Too- dles was the pet name of a big, chubby fellow about 4 years old. Fluffy slept in Toodles’ bed, and was fed from a pretty saucer that stayed right under the back steps, and all day long they Played together. Of course, Toodles was not his real name—that was Frederick Walton—but Toodles seemed to fit him exactly, an Toodles it was to all the family. In September. the Waltons went up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to live near a place where there was a big ranch of ponies. There were hun- dreds of acres of land where dozens of the shaggy colts and fat mothers ran about grazing. So Toodles had the time of his life, sitting on a big rock in the field watching them feeding or wading in the creek. One day when he came in to dinner his mother told him that when they went back to town it would be Impossible to keep Fluffy, as the fam- ily would give up their house and take a flat. ‘‘You know they will not allow dogs in flats,’’ remarked Mrs. Walton, sadly. “We leave for town tomorrow,” con- tinued Mrs. Walton. “So I think it best to give Fluffy to some kind person here in the neighborhood before we go. {[ will see about It this afternoon, and you may take him down to the stream after dinner and build houses in the sand.” FTER the meal was over, Toodles A started off with his pail swinging on his arm, and at his fat, browr ankles toddled Fluffy. A pretty pic- ture they made on the bank piling up sand and sometimes making boats of bark to float down over the rocks. But presently the boy grew tired. Sitting down with his arm around the dog, he began to cry. ‘“T can’t :et you go, Fluffy, I love you too much,” he wept. “I am not going home at all. I am going to run away-- just you and me—and we can live ina house in the woods all by ourselves, and some dwarf will give us nice apples and nuts and I can ride the ponies when I get big.’’ Toodles looked up at the sky. It was growing suddenly cloudy. Heavy mass- es were piling up over the huge crest of old High Knob, that reared its top up into the sky far over the foothills Down the wooded sides of the mountaln crept the shadow. Toodles looked about ‘ie signs of a home in the woods like boys always found in fairy books, but it was growing night, and there was noth- ing to be seen but trees. Down below the valley shone in the setting sun and Toodles could have seen the windows of his mother’s room blink- ing in the light—only he did not j know which house it was he had left, FP onein was a small, white dog, be- for the many farms at his feet all looked alike. Under a big rock he saw a hole hollowed out of the earth. “Oh, Fluffy,” he exclaimed, “that is just what we want—a nice cave.” And he sank down to rest on the ground, which was covered with fallen leaves. Fluffy curled up around his feet. Soundly the two slept, while the sun sank to rest and the dark- nesg settled over the mighty moun- tains. Down in the farm houses be- low twinkling lights shone out, but the boy and dog slept on. UT Mrs. Walton at home was BK wild with grief, for night was come and no sign of the child. All over the fields people ran with lanterns calling, men on horseback rode up the lanes, neighbors searched the orchards and meadows, but no sign of Toodleg or Fluffy. So a party of men started up the mountain. Foy hours they looked, but found noth- ing, and presently turned to go home. Then out on the still night air they heard the shrill barking of a dog far up above their heads. “That is the boy’s dog,” cried one of the party. “I am sure the child is with him—hasten.” Following the sound the men ran toward the big stone, under which lay Toodleg still asleep, and as they drew near Fluffy came leaping to meet them. “Why, here is the boy!” exclaimed a man, taking the child in hig arms. So down the mountain they trudged till Toodles was placed in the arms of his weeping mother, and Fluffy dancing about the two. “If it had not been for Fluffy I would never have been found,” laughed Toodles, snuggling up tight to his mother. “That is true,” exclaimed Mr. Wal- ton. “And we will have to give up the idea of a flat. We will keep our house as long as Fluffy lives, so he can have a home with us.” Perhaps you may some day see a boy of 4 and a white dog in the park. And if you do, ask the child if he is not Toodles and get him to tell you about how Fluffy gaved his life.

ELEVEN PITCHERS CAUGHT IN HEDGES BASEBALL DRAGNET All Will Be Given a Thorough Tryout Before the Close of the Present Season. KOOB APPEARS A_ STAR But Lowdermilk and Weilman Are the Only Regulars That Have Made Good. BY W. J. O’Connor. In the drag net which the Messrs. Rickey and Hedges threw into the Minor League ponds, this season have been caught no fewer than 11 young pitchers who will get trials with the Browns between nuw and the closing days of the current campaign. These 11 men represent only the players pur- chased or recalled, as yesterday was the last day allowed ‘under the National Commission rules to exer- cise the options held by major league teams on bush talent. : There’s still the possibility that the Browns will get more pitchers in the draft, which hasn’t yet been made, while still others may be purchased; but regardless of the local manage- ment’s luck in the big lottery, the club will have at least 11 youn hurlers to try out during the fina month of the season: The new pitch- ers already signed are: Eleven, Count’ Em. HOFF, a southpaw, purchased from the Rochester (Interna- tional League) club. He worked two innings yesterday and made a very favorable impression. He's famed as a hitter, leading the I.

He reported yesterday and pitched one inning oer AE ag L , right-hander, boneht te Decatur. He was with the Giants this spring. TILLMAN, a right-hander, signed by Ivan Howard. He comes from the New Bedford (Colonial League) team, a Fed- eral League farm. His record is 17-7 for the current season. A few infielders, an occasional catch- er and outfielder, also have been signed, but they will not report until later in the season. Billy Lee and Yale Sloan have been recalled from the Southern League, where they are ee the best ouifielders in. Dixie- an Pitching Staff Rickey’s Goal. However, Rickey is making such her- culean efforts to sign pitchers that there’s no doubt now but what Branch realizes that it was weak pitching that wrecked his team this season. The in- jury to Hamilton, the deflection of Geor Baumgardner and Bill James’ complete failure left Rickey with a staff of two—Weilman and Lowdermiik ~when the season began.

Probably at no stage of the proceed - ings did the syndicate have as much as $50,000 tied up, and that only for a few months. The risk of loss, at no time, exceeded $25,000, largely pro- motion expenses due to the failure of the Juarez enterprise. ; In return the syndicate will have made at least $75,000 (probably more) by November, or more than 100 per cent on the investment within one year, not to mention returns from pictures, short fights to be fought t@is fall and at least one world’s championship battle of the future. In view of this initial success of the fighter manufacturing in- dustry why dally with apple or- chards and onion farms, men, when you can syndicate a boxer and get a 300 per cent return on the investment, quick? > The Genius of Jack Curley. OMEWHERE in the world there is a man who has been flailed and knocked harder and oftener than| Jack Curley, the promoter. But we haven’t heard about him. Old Man Dope has whirled the bat with. the rest. But the flails bounce back from the conch of this irrepressible guy. In spite of all the criticism of Curley for bad matchmaking, etc., the fact remains that in a little over 20 yenrs he has advanced himself from a dishwasher in a St. Louis cafe to the top of world’s championship promoting industry. In the double decade he has swabbed dishes, waited on table, bossed waiters, managed fighters, re- ported for newspapers, promoted an athletic club and handled four world’s championship events. * e * He “‘Made’”’ Several Stars. | F it were not for Curley, Frank Gotch might not he cham- pion of the world, and would cer- tainly be minus about $50,000. Jim Flynn would never have been heard of, except as a third- rate heavyweight. Jess Willard would still have a mortgage on his house and no world’s championship. Jack Johnson would today be blocking the way of the Cauca- sian toward the world’s § fight crown, And Joe Stecher might have been cut off in his prime—it was Curley who prevented the match. ing of Stecher with Gotch. Curley himself has annexed a few thousand and a good annual income, together with a scrapbook full of some of the most uncomplimentary things ever printed about a match- maker. That Curley survived prospered, along with matched, seems to indicate to him that his critics are more at fault than himself. ‘ - Was Hack Merely “Yellow?”’ HE biggest house over played to by any of Curley'’s world’s cham- ionshi actors was at a Chicago Sanebal park, where Frank Gotch and Georges Hackenschmidt met for the second time. Hack injured his knee two weeks before the match, but the fact was kept quiet by Curley and the bout pulled off when, ac- cording to the belief of wrestlers who knew the circumstances, Hackenschmidt hadn't the ghost of a show. The writer saw Hack limping, two days before the match and was told the big fellow “had a water blister on his foot from too much road work.” Of course the promoter’s alibi was that Hack’'s injury was slight, not serious,.and that the match had to go on because the promoters were already “on the nut” about $30,000 promotion sxcenese, including $21,000 cash paid Gotch. Curley now insinuates that Hack was afraid of Gotch's terrible toe hold and feared it more than the strained leg. | But certainly it was somethin more than fear that made Ha OR the development of a new industry we have to thank Jack Curley of the Jess Willard Syndicate, unlimited. almost virgin fight timber, Curley and his associates, Weber, Frazee and Jones, set about developing Willard into championship material with.a view to beating Johnson, winning the title, and making money. Contracting for what was shriek out audibly during the tech; “For God's sake don’t break my leg, Frank!” + te * Frank Gotch Lucky. NCIDENTALLY Curley advances a .theory that wiil cause him to at- tract attention from the squirrel family, in the opinion of Gotch’s friends. He declares that Gotch is the luckiest lad that ever got the breaks. “Frank probably was the best wrestler in the world,” Curley told the writer yesterday, ‘‘but he had Jinx working on his side in every big match that was srranged for him. “The first time he met Hack the lat- ter thought he had a cinch. He figured the bout would be over in 30 minutes. so he trained leisurely and was not iit to wrestle hard for more than half an hour periods when he entered the ring. Gotch knew this and it was one hour and 10 minutes before the men even went to the mat. Hack was go ex- hausted that he quit, Gotch never actually scoring a fall. “The second time Hack hurt himself and was a cripple. “In the match with Mahmout the Bulgarian had been advised by the doctor not to take part in the match on the date scheduled. He nad just been operated on and. besides being weakened, was in danger of blood poisoning from dirt in the wounds. “Of course, 1 won’t say Frank couldn’t have beaten every man he met. But I do know he was nided by the other fellow’s mis- fortunes in every big show he took part in. Jenking beat Frank once, but lost after Old Age zot him, in their second go,” * o * They All Alibi but John L. URLEY is strong for Willard, anid declares that Johnson's “lay- down”’ story does the white man a grave injustice. In fact, there is no doubt from the statements of Curley and hun- dreds of other men at Havana that Johnson was a badly whipped champion. ‘“Tt’s the wav with all champions, ex- cept old John L., who admitted after his defeat that Corbett whipped him fair- ly. Corbett, when he lost, complained that Referee Siler slipped him a bad count. Fitzsimmons accused Jeff’s back- ers of doping him; Jeff sprang the same alibi after the Johnson fight; Jim Flynn declared he was beating Johnson when the police stopped the fight, while Tom- my Burns made the same plea. “It was natural in Johnson, a vain man, who found himself at the end of his resources, to start some sort of alibi to rehabilitate himself, ‘But he'll never do this at Wil- lard's expense, unless he’s willing iv fight for charity and a $25,000 side bet-- the terms Willard now asks.”’ MAGEE RESICNS BROOKLYN FEDS Inability to Do Justice to Club as Leader and Player Given as Reason. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—President R. B. Ward of the Brooklyn Federal League club announced today that he had re- ceived and accepted the formal resigna.- tion of Lee Magee as manager of the Brooklyn team, which is playing tn Pittsburg. Magee, who has been ailing for a few days, will continue to play at second base. His contract with the club still has two years to run, and Magee’s rea- son for resigning is that he cannot do justice to the club in the dual capacity of a player and manager. Since being made leader of the Brook- lvn team last winter, when he jumped from the Cardinals, Magee has had a very stormy season of it. Although he had the hardest hitting club in the league, it is at present in sixth place in the standings, with a percentage less than .i There also have been many dissen- sions among the tossers of the club, anil Magee has been forced to do a lot oi hiring and firing. First Artie Hofman was “tinned.”” Then Magee had several runins with Benny Kauff, with the re- sult that Benny quit the team on tw» occasions. Tom Seaton, the club’s lead- ing pitcher, also was suspended, and fined for failure to keep in condition, Magee at present is the batting leader in the Gilmore circuit, while no less than four other of his players are hit- ting over the .300 mark. Even with all this, Magee has fatled to put his club near the top.

Gone aan) PADDY KELLY AND BATTLE, TONIGHT St. Louis Boy Had Shade in First Meeting of Hard-Fight- ing Lightweights. ceniinitsiainlis By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee of the Future City Athletic Club and tke Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. Paddy Kelly, the ‘iron man” of the local ring, has the true fighting spirit. There is no fear of battle or of defeat in his stout heart. Two weeks ago, boxing the most im- portant bout of his career, he won it by a close margin by fighting hard from start to finish. His opponent was Gene Delmont of Memphis, Tenn., and the contest took: place before the Future City Athletic Club. It was a sensational exhibition, and the spectators stood on their chairs and cheered both men from the time they shook hands for the final round. They meet again tonight before the same club. Should Kelly lose it is high- ly probable he will accept defeat with- out excuse, just as he accepted victory without self-pride. It is characteristic of Kelly to do his best in the ring, and neither brag nor complain of the result. And, judging by his conduct here on the former occasion, the same thing may he said of Delmont. Here’s Tonight’s Card. The complete schedule of tonight's bouts, as announced by Tommy Sulli- van, is as follows: Paddy Kelly of St. Louis vs. Gene Delmont of Memphis, Tern; 8 rounds at 130 pounds. “Kid” Bandy vs. Willie Staengel; 8 rounds at 122 pounds. Harry Kabakoff vs. Nappie Warren; 6 rounds at 110 pounds. Howard Richardson vs. “Young’’ Tom Sharkey, 6 rounds at 140 pounds. the the cleverly bout voun centers in Kabakoff, so Much interest between Harry He outboxe ‘phenom who = Say Witt three weeks ago, and Nap pie Warren, who made such a remarkable display in his bout with “Young” Graham of Taylorville, Til... on July 18.

They succeeded as all the world knows. The investment was small. Probably at no stage of the proceed- ings did the syndicate have as much as $50,000 tied up, and that only for a few months. The risk of loss, at no time, exceeded $25,000, largely pro- motion expenses due to the failure of the Juarez enterprise. In return the syndicate will have made at least $75,000 (probably more) by November, or more than 100 per cent on the investment within one year, not to mention returns from pictures, short fights to be fought this fall and at least one world’s championship battle of the future. In view of this initial success of the fighter manufacturing in- dustry why dally with apple or- chards and onion farms, men, when you can syndicate a boxer and get a 300 per cent return on the investment, quick? s The Genius of Jack Curley. OMEWHERE in the world there is a man who has been flailed and knocked harder and oftener than Jack Curley, the promoter. But we haven't heard about him. Old Man Dope has whirled the bat with. the rest. But the flails bounce back from the conch of this irrepressible guy. In spite of all the criticism of Curley for bad matchmaking, etc., the fact remains that in a little over 20 years he has advanced himself from a dishwasher in a St. Louis cafe to the top of world’s championship promoting industry. In the double decade he has swabbed dishes, waited on table, bossed waiters, managed fighters, re- ported for newspapers, promoted an athletic club and handled four world’s championship. events. * He “‘Made”’ Several Stars. | F it were not for Curley, Frank Gotch might not be cham- pion of the world, and would cer- tainly be minus about $50,000, Jim Flynn would never have been heard of, except as a third- rate heavyweight. Jess Willard would still have a mortgage on his house and no world’s championship. Jack Johnson would today be blocking the way of the Cauca- sian toward the world’s § fight crown, And Joe Stecher might have been cut off in his prime—it was Curley who prevented the match. ing of Stecher with Gotch. Curley himself has annexed a few thousand and a good annual income, together with a scrapbook full of some of the most uncomplimentary things ever printed about a match- maker. That Curley survived them and prospered, along with the men he matched, seems to indicate to him that his critics are more at fault than himself. . Was Hack Merely “Yellow?” HE biggest house ever played to by any of Curley’s world’s cham- ionship actors was at a Chicago Sansbatt park, where Frank Gotch and Georges Hackenschmidt met for the second time. Hack injured his knee two weeks before the match, but the fact was kept quiet by Curley and the bout pulled off when, ac- | OR the development of a new industry we have to thank Jack Curley of the Jess Willard Syndicate, unlimited. almost virgin fight timber, Curley and his associates, Weber, Frazee and Jones, set about developing Willard into championship material with.a view to beating Johnson, winning the title, and making money. Contracting for what was shriek out audibly during the match: “For God's sake don’t break my leg, Frank!” . - ~ Frank Gotch Lucky. BOSAL Curley advances a theory that wiil cause him to at- tract attention from the squirrel family, in the opinion of Gotch’s friends. He declares that Gotch is the luckiest lad that ever got the breaks. “Frank probably was the best Wrestler in the world,’’ Curley told the writer yesterday, “but he had Jinx working on his side in every big match that was surranged for him. “The first time he met Hack the lat- ter thought he had a cinch. He figured the bout would be over in 30 minutes. s0 he trained leisurely and was not iit to wrestle hard for more than half an hour periods when he entered the ring. Gotch knew this and it was one hour and 10 minutes befors the men even went to the mat. Hack was go ex- hausted that he quit, Gotch never actually scoring a fall. “The second time Hack hurt himself and was a cripple. ‘In the match with Mahmout the Bulgarian had been advised by the aoctor not to take part in the match on the date scheduled. He nad just been operated on and. besides being weakened, was in danger of blood poisoning from dirt in the wounds. “Of course, 1 won’t say Frank ¢couldn’t have beaten every man he met. But I do know he was nided by the other fellow’s mix- fortunes in every biz show he took part in. Jenkins beat Frank once, but lost after Old Age zot him, in their second g0,” » 6 They All Alibi but John L. URLEY is strong for Willard, ani declares that .Johnson’s “lay- down” story does the white man a grave injustice. In fact, there is no doubt from the statements of Curley and hun- dreds of other men at Havana that Johnson was a badly whipped champion ‘“Tt’s the wav with all champions, ex- cept old John L., who admitted after his defeat that Corbett whipped him fair- ly. Corbett, when he lost, complained that Referee Siler slipped him a bad count. Fitzsimmons accused Jeff's back- ers of doping him; Jef? sprang the same alibi after the Johnson fight; Jim Mlynn declared he was beating Johnson when the police stopped the fight, while Tom- my Burns made the same plea. “It was natural in Johnson, a vain man, who found himself at the end of his resources, to start some sort of alibi, to rehabilitate himself, ‘But he'll never do this at Wil- lard’s expense, unless he’s willing icv fight for charity and a $25,000 side bet-- the terms Willard now asks.”’ MAGEE RESIGNS AS MANAGER OF. BROOKLYN FEDS Inability to Do Justice to Club as Leader and Player Given as Reason. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—President FR. B. Ward of the Brooklyn Federal League club announced today that he had re- ceived and accepted the formal resigna- tion of Lee Magee as manager of the Brooklyn team, which is playing tn Pittsburg. Magee, who has been ailing for a few days, will continue to play at second base. His contract with the club still has two years to run, and Magee’s rea- son for resigning is that he cannot do justice to the club in the dual capacity of a player and manager. Since being made leader of the Brook- Ivn team last winter, when he jumped from the Cardinals, Magee has had a very stormy season of it. Although he had the hardest hitting club in the league, it is at present in sixth place in the standings, with a percentage less than .i00. : There also have been many dissen- sions among the tossers of the club, an:} Magee has been forced to do a lot Ooi hiring and firing. First Artie Hofman was ‘“‘tinned.”” Then Magee had several runins with Benny Kauff, with the re- sult that Benny quit the team on tw» occasions. Tom Seaton, the club’s lead- ing pitcher, also was suspended, and fined for failure to keep in condition, Magee at present is the batting leader in the Gilmore circuit, while no less than four other of his players are hit- ting over the .300 mark. Even with all this, Magee has failed to put his club near the top. EL eee eee ee ae Ew a ae Denver—Joe Rivers beat Stan- ley Yoakum, 15 rounds, Lovisville—Leo Roux beat Jer- ry Dalton, 10 rounds.

The final game of the series between the Browns and White Sox, scheduled for this afternoon, was called off on account of the heavy rain shortly after noon. Tomorrow the Yankees ‘under Bill Donovan open a series here. eee N their late and likewise la- mented ee titi E) Eastern trip, the Browns were shut out six times. They lost 13 out of 18 games. The club hasn't a scoring punch, Its attack is loose. But yesterday's exhibition, where- in they combed Death Valley Jim Seott for 16 hits and scored only four runs, whereas the Sox counted eight times on seven hits, was the cap- sheaf of a series of bum games. Man- ager Rickey said last night that his team played the worst ball of the season yesterday. “Included in those 68 games lost are some very bad ones, but none 80 today,” said Shotton Austin walked and was forced by Sisler. Pratt tripled in the elghth and scored on Howard's single. O'brien. who re- heved Leary, singled. but McCabe failed. Shotton and Austin singled and both scored on Sisler’s triple in the ninth Watker walked, but Howard and Lavan fanned, leaving Sisler on third. a It would weary the reader to detail the Sox system scoring. However, here's a sample. In the second inning, Four- nier walked. J. Collins singled to right.

Roland Hoerr, holder of the city ten- nis championship, stated this morning that he had not yet decided whether he would compete in this year’s tournament, to be held under the auspices of the Triple A, on the club’s courts, starting Sept. 4. When asked this morning if he would enter Hoerr said: “I have not decided as yet to enter the tourney, and have no plans concerning tennis at the present time.’’ If Hoerr fails to compete, the cham- pion doubles team of Hoerr and Drum- mond Jones also will be broken up. En- tries do not close until Sept. 1, so Hoerr still has two weeks to make up his mind. Prizes will be awarded the winners and runner-ups in the championship Class, and the winners in the consola- tion class. An entry fee of $1.50 will be charged in the singles, and $3 a team in the doubles. Entries can be made with M. J. Hol- loran, 303 North Fourth street, Assistant Secretary Ross at the club and Spald- ings, 415 North Seventh street. , Hoerr Loses a Title by Default. Although Hoerr won five or six titles last year, it is said business cares may prevent his defending his laurels again, this year. He is holder of the Iowa State championship, won last season, but sent back the trophy, last week, with the announcement that he would not compete in this year’s revival of the event, now on at Des Moines. Wil- liam T. Hayes of Chicago and several other. prominent stars are now compet- ing in the lowa tourney. Hoerr’s appearances this year include victories over Paul Darrough in a dual meet between Washington and Okla- homa, victory in the Missouri Valley conference championship, for the 3%ec- cnd time, victory in the Central States championships, also for the second time, and a defeat at Dallas in the South- western championship, a title he had won the previous season. f Last year Hoerr played five successive championships in as many weeks and won four titles, one a doubles cham- pionship. He lost to Clarence Griffin of California in the Ohio State event at Dayton. Lockhorn Wins M. V. Title. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug. 17.—Stephen Lockhorn of the K. C. A.

Loomis and Ray wil! come here with a record of having defeated the best athletes in the country in the cham- oneaine held at the Panama-Pacific os less than two weeks ago. Loomis at present is the champion in the 100-yard dash. In the final this event at Frisco the Windy City flyer showed his heels to Alva eyer, the Irish-American A. C. star of New York, doing the distance in 9 4-5s. Joie Ray is the Chicago runner who forced Norman Taber, the world’s rec- ord-holder, to bow to defeat in the mile run. Ray’s time was 4m. 231-5s., 11 sec- onds slower than the record set by Ta- ber only a short time before the Irisco race. ust the same, though, Ray 6 looked upon as the champ, because he beat all the stars in competition.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW Y , Aug. 17.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “Sentiment, was helped today -by the arrival of $4,600,000 gold from Ottawa and the rather definite indications that progress was being made in the direc- tion of solving the problem that has. de- veloped in the market fcr sterling ex- change. “London remittances. were quotably after the gold .import announcement, and, although mo arrangement for 2 London credit was perfected, there were sigtis that“)some arrangement would be arrived at in the near future. Exchange on Paris made a new low record, o. Sonens 6.04, as against 6.(2 yesterday. ater ‘improved partial- ly. Bills. on Berlin were very weak and cables touched 81], a new low rec- r “Developments in the foreign ex- change market attracted much atten- tion, and it was evident that the ex- traordinary position of that, market was eres | the cunsideration of the beat known Dankers of this city and Lon- don. The situation was discussed bot! formally and informally by ban‘cers of this and other cities. Stock Market Is Higher. *“Security prices were higher, and although the stock market was at times rather dull, there was excellent bidding for the Steel shares and some | of the war stocks. General gains were shown at the opening, when the @market wag very active, with trad- in largely confined to the indus- trial shares. Some of these advanced sharply and there were further ru- mors concerning the large earnings to be shown by some of the steel and equipment companies. Most of these stories were vague as usual, but that had little effect upon the speculation, which has been con- ducted most of the time with very little regard to any known develop-~ ents touchfhe the financial posi- tion of the companies. “Announcement of the Missouri Pacific receivership had very little effect, although the market reacted for a time after the early advance. But the tone was firm most of the time, and there was good demand for some of the railroad stocks, al- though the industrial shares were, as yesterday, the most active. ‘The gold arrival was in the form of Japanese yen, and represented about the last of the gold that was sent to Ottawa in trust for the aBnk of England dur- ing the excitement of last summer, when the sterling market was thorough- ly demoralized and London was deman¢- ing gold in settlement for the indebted- ness which New.York City had to pro- vide for in that city. “There were various reports concern- ing. the formation of syndicates to take a British bond issue in the form of one, two and three year maturities. None of these reports were cénfirmed, how- ever, and it was evident that the bank- ers were doing their best to work out an adequate scheme for handling the situation with as little disturbance as possible. There was a broader deman‘ for exchange from importers, and al- though there were large offerings the market throughout show ed greater firm. ness than yesterday.’' “Price held well most of the aft- ernoon, but in the last half hour there was a reaction which affected most of the market. Among the shares which showed strength earlier in the day were United States Steel, Westiffghouse, American &teel Foun- dry, Amaconda, Corn Products, Gen- eral Electric, Erie and ¢ Reading.

Under the influ- ence of the late selling movement prices in some cases reacted a poirte more from the high level of the ay.” DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Wil@ trading in the war shares was re umed Hoy the outset today, «with ‘‘wide’’ o enings in Studebaker, which repeated yesterday’s high price of 120, American Can and eon teen Other is- sues of the same class pacindins siomee Steel, General Electric. Steel Car and various ey ye haduanteinia and equip- ments rose 2 to 4 points. U. 8. Steel spanned with a sale of shares, soon touchin its best price since 1912. Betniehem a was almost the sole exception to the viding tonight the specialities, los- ing over 4 points. Before the end of the haif-hour recessions from the high levél wer gef@ral, Studebaker eins all its rise an more. Railways, particularly Canadian Pa- cific, were lower. The furious activity of the opening was maintained throughout the early session, the first hour’s transactions aggregating 350. shares, a- record for some months. barn third of the a. was in U. 8. Steel, Westinghouse, Can, Crucible and Studebaker. The latter broke 8 points under yesterday’s final figure and Bethlehem Steel showed in- creasing heaviness. In the main, however, prices were well susptained, despite enormous profit-taking. ra wees were taken up later, Reading and Union acific leading in that quarter. There was considerable ‘‘future’’ or foreign selling of bonds, a logical result of the further weakness in exchange rates. Weakness in the so-called Gould igsues presumably as a result of the Missouri Pa- cific receivership and manipulation of special- ties heretofore inconspicuous attended the less active trading of the early afternoon. -°e----- Metal Markets.
