WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Prospects for averting a nation- wide railway strike, or at least for the formulation of some tenta-_ tive program which will be the groundwork for further negotia- tion, brightened today after President Wilson had conferred with 35 chiefs of the four great brotherhoods of employes. After the conference the brotherhood men declared the President’s graxp ef the situation and the position of the men might result in an understanding being reached, and others in touch with the con- ference said the representatives of the men showed a disposition to co-operate to avoid a strike. Shortly after 2:30 o'clock the Mana- gers’ Committee, at the conclusion of a nalf-hour conference, went to ‘te White Houke to meet the President. There were 19 managers in the party and all were silent over the develop- ments of the conference of the men and th President earlier in the day. * After introducing the committee of managers to President Wilson, Judge Chambers of the Mediation Board said: “The ice appears to be melting a Iit- tle.” He added that he was more hope- ful that a strike would be averted than he was when he came henmg from New York this morning. How far whatever progress made at the conference with the men can g0 toward averting a break cannot be determined until after the President confers with the managers’ committee. President Well Informed. The President, according to those who attended the conference, showed a fa- miliarity with the situation that sur- prised the men. ‘The President was most sympe- thetic,” said one of the brotherhoo! leaders, “and his surprising knowledge of the situation and of our position may result in an understanding being reached.” The President, it was said, submitted no counter proposition to the men, but he held out hope for an adjustment by legisiation if necessary. The impression prevailed among the brotherhood lead- ers that as a last resort the President might ask Congress for eight-hour da, legislation. The leaders explained to the President their stand against arbitration by s#ay- ing that they were carrying out the wishes of the 600 delegates who sat with them at their meeting with the Federal mediators. The delegates, the Presider’ was told, in voting on whether thev should accept or reject the mediators proposal to arbitrate, voted unanimous- ly for rejection. The brotherhood leaders presented *» the President detailed reports of the vote cast in favor of a genera] strike. The discussion this morning, Kt was learned, centered largely about the pos- sibility of reaching an agreement on some form of arbitration and particu- lar attention was pald to the subjects to be arbitrated. It was considered possible that a ten- tative agreement would be submitted that would provide for arbitration of the demands of the men for an eight- hour day and for time and a half over- time, with the elimination of the coun- ter proposals of the employers. The railroads have wanted to arbitrate their counter proposals and that the men r>:- sist.

ee nee ee ee te —/ 7 ss ° : _ ‘brotherhoods,”’ MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1916. Text of President’s Note , as for Rail Conference WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. HE following message was sent to the four railroad brotherhoods and the railway managers by President Wilson, through Secretary Tumulty, last night: ‘I have learned with surprise and keen disappointment that an agree- ment concerning the settlement of the matto’s in the c ntroversy be- tween the railways ard their em- ployes bus proved impossible. “A general strike on the rail- ways would at any time have a most far-reaching and injurious ef- fect in the country. At this time the effect might be disastrous. I feel that I have the right, there- fore to request, and I do hereby request, as the heaa of the Govern- ment, that before any final decision is arrived at I may have a personal conference with you here. I shall hold myself ready to meet you at any time you may be able to reach Washington.” | ss Chambers got into touch with the rail- road managers and told them to be ready to go to the White House. The managers waited at a nearby hotel. There were some suggestions, purely informal, emanating from neither one _gide nor the other, but from sources in touch with both, that the men were re- garding the possibility of arbitration with the President himself as chief arbitrator. Representatives of unorganized rall- road employes, outside of the four big brotherhoods involved in the strike ne- gotiations, called at the White House early this morning and left word for the President that they stood behind him in his efforts to avert a nation- wide railroad strike. P. K. Walden, representing the unor- ganized workmen on roads running out of Chicago, presented a petition signed by 16,000 men, opposing a strike. Newlands Act in Disfavor. The’ first development of the day was a declaration by A. B. Garretson, speak- ing for the brotherhoods, that the men were through with the proposition of arbitrating under the Ne’/lands act. Pre- vious arbitrations under that law, he re- ‘dterated, had demonstrated that the neu- tral arbitrators held the balance of power. He declared that any special ar- bitration into which the men might agree to enter would have to make pro- vision for an extension of those arbi- trators to give the men what they con- sider a fair chance. “The chief objection to the existing form of arbitration on the part of the said Garretson today, " «centers on the difficulty that has bcen _ the experienced in selecting neutral arbi- trators who could do justice to the cause of the men. In the past there have been neutral arbitrators of high standing and intellisence such as John H. Finley of New York and Seth Low, former Mayor. No matter how honest their intentions, tney could not Lring to bear on the « .2s- tions at issue the disinterestedness neces- es y.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—If President Wilson fails to persuade the railroad men and their employers to settle their differences and a general strike is called, .it will be direct from headquarters in . this city. This announcement was made today, when the leaders of the four big railway brotherhoods and the railroad _ Managers reached Washington for a con- ference with the head. of the nation.

Bach Side Blames Other. “Unless the President can “nda i .d out, it means a strike,” said A. B. Gar- retson, president of the Order of Rail- way " ainmen and official spokesman of the employes, when he boarded the train for Washington at midnight. Elisha Lee, chairman of the conference commit- tee of railroad managers, who, with the 18 members of his committee went to Washingtor on the same train that car- ried t>» 30 represent .tives of the broth- erhood delegates, placed responsibility upon the men for the failure of attempts at mediation.

Tumulty, the President’s secretary. President Wilson in his letter pointed out that a general strike at this time might ‘ave a disastrous effect upon the country and said: “‘I feel that I have the right, therefore, to request, and I do hereby request, as the head of the Gov- ernment, that before any final decision is arrived at, I may have a personal conference with you here.’’ Authorities here declared that w..ile the national labor laws gave the Presi- dent no right to interfere officially, the troaad police powers vested in him gave him authority to put soldiers on the trains and even to declare martial law, if he believed the peril of the situation called for such drastic measures. At- tention was called to the last national railroad strike in 1894, when Presicst Cleveland used the regular army co guard locomotives and cars. The tension in brsiness circles here today shows a realization of the acute danger of a national calamity. An ag- gregate of fimancial losses running } :r- haps into hundreds of millions, labor idleness and food privation are some of the possibilities which a strike presents. It is to be remembered, business men say, that there is scarcely a factory of any importance which does not depend on a railroad for its products. A strike, for instance, would mean that the stee) mills of Pitteburg would be cut off from their ore supplies in Michigan and Wis- consin, the automobile industries of Michigan from supplies of steel and cotton mills of New England from the new cotton of the South, the garment factories of New York of their cloth from New England and every industry from everywhere will be cut off from coal to feed their furnaces. Of more immediate seriousness would be the question of a food supply. The large communities, which receive the bulk of*their food from long distances, would be forced to rely on what prod- ucts could be brought in by wagon, au- tomobile, trolley or vessel. The suspension of the country's ex- ports, the congestion of imports at coast cities, the stranding of hundreds of thousands of travelers and summer re- sort visitors far from their homes-- these are other possibilities which the strike situation presents, to say noth- ing of its effect on the railroads them- selvés and their employes. Extent ef Interests Involved. The capitalization of the railroads in the country amounts to more than $20,- 000,000,000, and their gross revenue has been estimated at more than $4,000,000,- 000, on the basis of recent reports. The latest estimates available show that the railways operate 251,984 miles of tracks and transport annually 1,033,- 679,680 passengers. The passenger cars are estimated at 61,700 and other cars at 2,393,808. FORT EXPLOSION KILLS 20 Officer at Venesueclan Port in Chains When Accident Happens, CURACAO, Dutch West Indies, Aug. 14.—Details have reached here of the disaster, July 27, in the Fortress of La Vigia, at the Venezuelan seaport of La Guayra, causing the death of about persons. The powder magazine in the fort, on the hill above La Guayra, blew up and a shower of masonry and shells fell in all directions. s this ammuni- tion exploded there continued for three hours bursting of shells and cartridges. An officer who was under punishment was in chains near one of the maga- zines. The official explanation of the disaster is that it was due to spon- taneous combustion. Held Up.

The official statement of yesterday said: ‘Yesterday, on the lower Isonzo, our troops met with further success. In the Monfalcone sector, after two days of severe fighting, they carried Hill 121 and Debeli. Further to the north they crossed the Vallone and pushed for- ward one Kilometer to the east of Op- pacchiasella, on the northern ridge of the Carso.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 13.—The British infan- try has renewed its offensive, attacking at three points early today over a total of about two miles of front and making important gains north of the Somme in BELGIAN COAST IS WELL FORTIFIED BY THE GERMANS Invaders Live in Bomb-Proof Concrete Dugouts—Ships’ Guns and Howitzers Correspondence of the Associated Press. ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, July 23.— A correspondent who has just been per- mitted to visit the Belgian coast reports on the formidable defenses that have been raised there. A long line of barbed wire entanglement stretches along the coast, and an endless series of long. slender ship’s guns protrude from the coarse grass of the dunes and behind the dunes crouch the heavy howitzers. Underground dwellings of bomb-proof concrete form part of the great trench along the entire coast. He says: “No spot is unguarded. Everywhere the endless line is occupied by sailors, who endeavor to find relief for th® mo- notony of their life in gardening and in rabbits and the care of their pigs, goats, birds. “Here and there one comes across an enormous unexploded shell, hurled ashore by one of the big British war- ships, and which now forms the orna- mental center of a flower garden. ! saw a big fellow among them, some of 38 centimeter caliber. “What one sees in the way of de- struction is the work of the fast torpedo destroyers, which have on occasion hailed smaller shells on the coastal towns with their quick-firing guns. The corners of houses are gnawed away; here and there a gable exhibits great holes. But the damage is not very bad. at least not in Ostend and Zeebrugge, much less than one would have sup- posed. Even on the seaside the towns appear to be little damaged. The big bath hotel at Ostend is untouched, and the great glass Kurhaus shows no breakage in its innumerable panes. A few big buildings by Zeebrugge have been leveled to the ground, but that was the work of the Germans, owing to the fact that these buildings hélped to direct the enemy’s fire on the occa- sions when he sought to destroy the most susceptible feature of the harbor, the big lock. “The real work of destruction begins addition to those of the French yester- day. North of Pozieres, toward the Mou- quet farm, British and Australian troops took a 500-yard depth of a mile front. North of Bazentin-Le Petit they mastered more commanding ground, which brings them closer to Martin- puich. South of Guillmont, they gained a ridge, but were blasted off of it by the German guns. The attack north of Pozieres closely followed German counter attacks which were overwhelmed by the British gun- fire Friday. The British here have gained the ridge, pushing the Germans down the slope, and the British gunfira is to terrific that the Germans have given up trying to keep them intact. British shells have been digging for them, and they scattered into big shell holes, where snipers and machine gun compliments have orders to fight to the last man, when the British advance. At some points on the Somme battle line the British are using the same method, and the actual firing line con- sists of groups of both sides taking cover in this fashion. Last night’s charge north of Pozieres was a case of waiting the Germans out of shell cra- ters. Russians pr tee Pressed Back, Con- antinople Says. CONSTANTINOP E, Aug. 14.—The Russian forces in the Caucasus and in Persia are being pressed back further following the recent advantages won on both fronts by the Turks, says a War Office statement under date of Aug. 13. This announcement is as follows: “Our troops in Persia are progressiny. On the right wing in a further offensive launched at dawn of Aug. 9, we drove the Russians from Essadabad and be- gan an attack on their pogPion north of this point. In the region of Sunnebane and Sakkiz we pressed the Russians to the east and north in successful bat- tles. “In the Caucasus we occupied the dominating heights north of Bitlis end crossed the Muhad.” Soldier Found Dead on Border, WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Official dispatches today from Eagle Pass re- port the finding of the body of a pri- vate soldier of the Third Infantry, believed to be the son of M.

It is a remarkable fact that 600 people continue to crouch there. The school is even still attended by 80 children. But every house has its underground refuge, such as the sol- diers construct in the front lines. Shells’ still fall in the place almost daily. ““Middelkerke is now in such a state that the Germans no longer take up quarters there, but prefer to live in dwelling-holes burrowed in the dunes. Some streets always lie open to the French observers and gunners. Long walks can be taken in the southern part of the place, by winding covered ways that have been broken and dug out, half in, half under the earth, through garden Walls, houses and cellars. <A deep trench is the only safe communi- cation with the Westende watering place, where no house remains standing.

HOU SE, Not in session; meets ee toy LE FIERCER TH USTAINED SHELL FIRE OF THE BRITISH OFFENSIVE AN AT VERDUN Position of Pozieres Ridge Gives Chargers Big Advantage in Sixth Week and They Keep Hammering at Bapaume Village. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Aug. 12—Anyone who might think from reading the British official reports that the British offensive woul’ soon conclude from the unceasing gun- fire if he went out on the fleld that a terrific battle was still in progress. No one that the Associated Press corre- spondent meets at the front thinks that the offensive is over, or that anything but winter will stop it. Though no vil- lage or considerable frontage of trenches has been stormed in the last few days, every day has found some strong point taken and some new spur of trenches thrown out in the course of the same kind of operation which followed and preceded each big blow. “The question this week,” said a staff officer, “is whether our guns havs killed more Germans than their guns have killed of us, and we know that the odds are in our favor, at least two if not three to one.” Fliercer Than at Verdun. For six weeks the British have main- tained a torrent of shell fire which Ger- man prisoners who have been at Ver- dun say surpasses anything they en- dured there; while at the different mu- nitions depots the piles of shells seem as plentiful as the day before the grand offensive began. It has been.a week all to the taste of the gunners. They have had such an advantage of position over the Ger- mans as they neve: had before, thanks to the possession of Pozieres ridge, which was crowned by a windmill at the highest point, the wooden structure of which has long since been blown to splinters by shell fire and its stone base cracked into bits. Inoalculable and in- cenceivable is the amount of shell fire spent on this ridge, whose irregular skyline is ever changing as a result of the pummeling, but the British kept their domination by tactics and methods of fortifications not permitted to be mentioned here. The Australians described the latest German counter-attack, which wa’ made last night, as comic if the result had not been so tragic for the two battalions which made it. Apparently the Germans were mostly recruits. When assembling for the attack they were caught by Pritish howitzer fire, then charged across the open space to be caught by machine gun fire. Some 4 survivors, who got to the trenches, held up their hands when the Australians called to them ‘o come in. British Guns Screened, British guns are screened behind the conquered slopes -+* Pozieres ridge, while from the crest the British are able to see all the way to Bapaume. Thus ex- posed, the German guns have been grad- ually retiring, for once the British lo- cate a German battery they go after i: with a concentration of fire, like a pack of*hounds after a cornered fox. The British are hammering every vil- lage on the way to Bapaume, and Ba- paume itself, and at the same time their superior number of aeroplanes con- tinue dropping bombs on the same tar- gets that the artillery bombards. Wher- ever the Germans are quartered thev A arit- to nerve-wrecking bombardment. ish artillery commander has only say: “Put 20 rounds of eight-inch into Courcellette,”” or “a couple of salvos of 12-inch into Thiepval,”" or ““‘we might as well stop that working party dis- ging in Martinpuich for the evening,’ and away go messengers roaring liks railroad trains through the air with their tons of explosives. Ne Change in the Map. ‘‘We don’t make many changes in the map this way,’ said a gunner, “but as a matter of bookkeeping in casualties the balance is all in our favor. It sft- ens things up for the infantry before they attack. It is as demoralizing as continuous nightmare and explains why /the Germéns can put no more spirit into their counter attacks.’’ As some illustration of the power of artillery fire when the shells are am- ple and the guns are numerous, !: is estimated that during this last we3K the Germans in the Somme battle area had 15,000 casualties from *mortar fire and gunfire alone. After three days o% cooler weather an- other heat wave has come. For four weeks there has been no rain except a slight shower now and then. The ground is parched with drouth and the leaves are beginning to fall from the trees ‘n some places. One result of the widespread shell fire over a great depth of the German front, whether 12-inch shells into distant vil- lages or 18-pounders into the front line and support trenches, is to prevent the Germans from bringing water, as well as food, up to the thirsty men penned up in the trenches on the burning hot earth in this fierce August weather. Villages Filled With Debris. Most of the villages this side of Ba- paume are filled with debris of houses which the British shell fire has bat- tered down. A thing most noticeable is how little ice is supplied either to the British or the French army, where it is found only in hospitals. The common use of ice 1s habitual to neither people, yet it is sur- prising that the heat prostrations are so few. The sigrificant value of inoculation to prevent typhoid is shown by the fact that notwithstanding the heat and bat- tle conditions, where burying of the dead and sanitation are hard to control, according to the last report there were enly 17 cases of the disease in the im- mense army in France. | Italy Begins to Pot Forth Real Strength, Northcliffe Writes.

AVOIDS SOME OF ISSUES Reference to Teutonic Sym- pathizers and Progressives Lacking in Addresses. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 14—The judi- fial associates with whom Charles E. Hughes shared an isolated and sedentary life for six’ years would marvel at the extraordinary metamorphosis which one short week of campaigning has worked in him. Resting over the Sabbath here in the prosperous eastern slope of Washington, he prepared for a second week quite as strenuous that will carry him to Puget Sound and Los Angeles. The candidate and his wife, who is ex- tracting a lot of fun out of her unusual experiences, spent the day as unevent- fully as they would at Bridgehampton. Mr. Hughes saw no politicians, made no addresses and beyond his attendance ar the First Baptist Church with Mrs. Hughes, did not appear in public. He declined to Sccupy the pulpit at the church as he has invitations to officiate in a lay capacity in other cities. Today he will motor through the moun- tains to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, return here to speak and then move on to Ta- coma and Seattle. Reticence and Reserve Lost. The first week's experience has accom- plished marked changes in Mr. Hughes. The most pronounced is the revival of the fire he showed as a campaigner in his last gubernatorial contest. The reti- cence, diffidence and reserve manifest in his manner while a Supreme Court Jus- tice he has sted as easily as a rattler sheds its skin. During the last two days of his can- vass in Montana he ‘‘found” himself, as- sumed an easy and almost rakish Aatti- tude toward his audiences and struck out with the aggressiveness that marked his fights in his home state. He has expanded his smile and dropped his preciseness of speech for the more read- ily comprehended colloquialisms and even slang phrases of the street. The dignified Supreme Court Justices should hear him roll out the word ‘“‘ijob.’’ He never did anything like that when he was with them. When he reached the country of the ‘‘cow punchers”’ and miner, he not only adopted the breezy wholesomeness of the West, but its rcugh-and-ready slouch. Once away from his managers Mr. Hughes fell into the ways of the coun- try. He prospected the ground before him and ignoring both his party plat- form and sagacious suggestions of friends, mapped out his own campaign. He “tried out” various scenarios and plots submitted to him. Those that ‘got over’ with his audiences he retained. This might be compared to the presen- tation of a case (with evidence to come) te a jury of unknown emotions and prejudices. His point has been to create the impression that the Wilson administration *“.1s proven incapable of administering the affairs of the Govern- ment to the satisfaction of the people. “avoids Some of Issues. “Some people think I should say what I shall do to stop the practices that I am attacking,’’ said the nominee with a grin, in a recent speech. ‘I have frank- ly replied that I don’t know. But in that respect I’ve got nothing on Wil- son. He doesn’t know, either. I know that these practices exist and I know that if I am elected President they shall not continue to exist.” The one outstanding fact ever manifest in all of Mr. Hughes’ utterances is that to put and keep the Wilson administra- tion on the defensive. It is his purpose to not permit Mr. Wilson to select the fighting ground and the weapons. He likes to ask questions instead of answer- ing them. H: has ignored and thinks he has dis- posed of questions that might prove em- barrassing. Hence he has absolutely re- frained from any discussion of the hy- phen issue. Not a syllable has come from him on the subject. Even the Teutonic agitators who have openly proclaimed him their choice for President over Mr. Wilson have been kept in the background. Not in any :f the places that Mr. Hughes has spoken has a single reference been made to this interesting topic; neither have his alien supporters been conspicuous in their ac- tivities at the local gatherings. Mr. Hughes has also cut out of his repertoire any reférence to the faction- al row in his own party. He has not mentioned the Progressives once; nor touched upon the dispute that disru.t- ed his party. He has frequently pro- claimed himself a Republican without distinction as to degree or kind. Inquires About Progressives. Yet one of the first questions he has asked of the Republican leaders who have managed his meetings concerned the temper of the Progressive follow- ers. He matie no comment on these re- ports which have been of an optimistic sort. The Progressives have had little more to do with his meetings than his Teu- tonic sympathizers, save here in 0- litically wobbling Washington, which 1% Progressive one month and reactionary, the other. Here the Progressives seem to have ali turned about face, or at least the larger number of them are lined up in the party which Mr. Hughes describes as “Republican.” It was strongly Progressive four years 4a&>, Col.

BERLIN, Aug. 14.—Encouraging re- sults from the administration of com- mon salt as a remedy against the en- feebling night sweats of consumptives and against excessive perspiration in the case of marching soldiers, are re- ported by Company Surgeon Link in an article in the Munich Medical Weekly. Sweat contains about six parts of salt in the thousand. A hard march of a few hours on a hot day results in the exudation of five to six liters of sweat, with a salt content of 24 to 30 grams. A strong night sweat of a consumptive exudes as much as 2% liters, causing a salt loss of 15 grams. This amount is far from unimportant, since the blood contains altogether only about 20 grams of salt, an amount about corresponding to the maximum daily consumption of salt in foods. Dr. Link’s first experiments were made with sufferers from tuberculosis. He began by giving a level teaspoon- ful of salt (about five grams) in a smal] glass of water just before patients re- tired. The result was a greater fresh- ness and absence of weariness on the following morning, but the patients either had no night sweats or else very slight ones. About 100 soldiers of one regiment were given a teaspoonful of salt at 6:45 o’clock in the morning be- fore beginning their day’s march. After a march of nearly 20 miles in muggy weather the soldiers thus dosed exhibit- ed much less fatigue than their com- rades. REPUDIATES MURDER CONFESSION EXONERATING CONDEMNED MAN Erwin King, District Attorney Says, Denies Telling How He Murdered Farmer and Housekeeper. ALBION, N. Y., Aug. 14.—District At- torney Knickerbocker of Orleans Coun- ty announced today that Erwin King had repudiated the confession he made at Little Valley Aug. 10 that he was guilty of the murder of Charles Phelps, a farmer, and his housekeepér, Mary Wollcott, at West Shelby March 22, 1915. Charles Stielow is in Sing Sinz Prison under sentence of death for these murders, but was reprieved recently on the day set for his execution. Stielow’s friends believed King’s confession would save the life of the condemned man. Later today a warrant was issued by Justice of the Peace H. C. Tucker, charging King with murder in the first degree. eek | David A. White, Stielow’s lawyer, de- clared that the prisozer’s recantation was ‘‘ridiculous, false and inspired. 30 added: “T understand that King says in this alleged statement tha+ -.00 was offered to him to confess. This I am sure is false.”’ White denied that friends of Stielow were responsible for the warrant. BATTLESHIP VIRGINIA SCORED MOST HITS IN TARGET WORK She Is Credited With 26, While the Rhode Island Made Lowest Record, With 8. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—Statistics of the spring target practice in the At- lantic fleet have been made public by Secretary Daniels as a reply to recent criticism of the navy’s gunnery efficien- cy. The statement shows that in the long range firing last February ani March the battleship Virginia scored 26 hits on a target the size of a battleship, while the Rbode Island, which made the lowest score of the six ships man- tioned, landed eight shots firing at slightly greater range. “The .correct score of the ships m2n- tioned,”’ said the announcement, “spuot- ted on a battleship target 600 feet long, 95 feet wide and 30 free board, basec on the result of the camera observa- tion, were as follows: “Nebraska, 22 hits; Louisiana, 18 hits; Kansas, 16 hits; Virginia, 26 hits: New Jersey, 20 hits; Rhode Island, $ hits.”’ BIG DAM BREAKS AND 30 FEET OF WATER SWEEPS 2 VALLEYS Lake Covering 550 Acres Spreads From North Carolina Across Border —Inhabitants Warned in Time, ASHEVILLE, .N. C,, Aug. 14.—Day- light found the inhabitants of the Keo- wee and Seneca Valleys, in South Caro- lina, still awake, anxiously awaiting the crest of the flood waters loosened last night by the breaking of the big dam at Lake Toxaway, N. C. Warnings of the flood's approach sent broadcast though Pickens, Walhalla, Oconee and Anderson Counties, enabled dwellers in the lowlands to prepare to move if necessary. The collapse of the dam released a lake which covered 550 acres to an aver- age depth of 30 feet, but so far as known no lives were lost, and only minor damage reported. A spring seep- ing the foundation of the stone and earth structure is believed to have caused the collapse.

ONLY 95 NEW PARALYSIS CASES IN NEW YORK IN DAY Deaths Increase From 22 to 31 for 24 Hours—Cooler Weather Im- proves Conditions. NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—The epiden‘c of infantile paraiysis took a turn for the better today. The number of new cz2ses reported to the Health Department went under the 100 mark for the first time in several weeks. During the 24 hours enda- ing at 10 a. m., the plague killed 3! children and 9% new cases were repo5rt- ed, 43 of them in Manhattan and 31 in Brooklyn. This compares favorably with yester- day’s figures, when there were 141 new cases and 22 fatalities. The falling off in cases was attributed to the co»nler weather. 53 New Paralysis Cases in New Jer- sey Outside Newark. TRENTON, N.

CONTRIBUTIONS, Previously acknowledged .. .$2318 Show, 3032 Dickson street... Mary and Louis Michelson... 40 SO 26 Total #2319 55 The three weeks remaining before re- opening of the public schools are to be made a period of vast activity by the children in sympathy with the sacred cause of saving the lives of infants in the poorer homes of St. Louis. There is with the more optimistic of them a de- termination to carry the campaign to the utmost point of success, and the marked improvement in the weather for comfort will be of positive value to that end. To attain the mark essential to best results in providing pure milk and free ice to the hundreds of homes where these are necessities more than $2500 is required. That sum will be accumulat- ed with surprising rapidity if the giris -and boys, encouraged by the active co- operation of parents and others of ma- ture years to whom the cause of the babies naturally appeals, but throw into the movement the degree of aggressive- ness that is easily within possibilities. Half a dozen girls and boys residing in the vicinity will hold a bazar at El- liot avenue and Benton street this eve- ning for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, from which they are anticipating substantial returns. They are members of the youthful army that has in former years accomplished nota- ble results in holding down infant mor- tality, and as such have a place in the esteem of the grown people of that sec- tion of the city. They have received generous aid from the business and other interests within a radius of sev- eral blocks, or wherever they have sought it, and expect to find also a de- mand for these attractive contribu- tions that will realize a handsome sum. The commodities and refreshments are to be dispensed from picturesque booths, each of which is to be in charge of a bevy of charming children. To these miniature mercantile establishments are to be added booths sheltering a fish pond and fortune teller, and to every one who attends an evening of rare pleasure is assured. Washington, Mo., Helps. Eight girls and boys of Washington, Mo., none of them above 12 years old, gave a delightful performance for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, the proceeds of which aggregated $1.61. ‘“‘Sleeping Beauty,” a play of con- spicuous merit and charm, written by little Mildred North, was produced on the lawn of Dr. and Mrs. John Isbell, in a manner quite surprising for its reve lation of youthful gifts and maturity of interpretation. The young artists in- cluded Lucile Krog, Margaret Dickbra- der, Annette Heisterhagen, Pauline Otto, Mildred North, Henry Otto, John North and George Calvin. Four little girls, through an entertain- ment of marked cleverness and the sale of lemonade, added $2.80 to the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk“and Free Ice Fund. Their splendid endeavor for the cause was given at 4914 Devonshire avenue, Southampton. These youthful philan- thropists are Jeannette Miller, Anna- gene Masgek, Elise Girard and Mildred Goetz. Mary and Louis Michelson of 112 North Fifteenth street, devoted two hours Saturday afternoon to the con- duct of a lemonade stand for the benefit of. the poor babies, from which they earned 276 cents. In the report of the excellent and financially successful show at 2219 Carr atreet, for the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. the name of one of the most en- thustastic and efficient aids, Sarah Banks, was inadvertently omitted. Vaudeville Shew Earns $3.26. A group of children restding on Oakland avenue, who have been among the sealous workers for the Pure Milk and Free Ice FPund for some years, gave a thoroughly de- lightful picture and vaadeville show at the home of Myrtle Skinner, one of their number, 4554A Oakland, as a result of which the babtes’ relief fund was enriched to the extent of $3.25. The miscellaneous numbers were songs and dances, which were done in excellent style. The littice | MONARCHISTS, BUI THEY MAY ESCAPE Foreigners in Pekin Do Not Ex- pect Chinese President to Push the Cases. Correspondence of the Associated Press. PEKIN, July 11.—President Li-Yuan- hung’s mandate. ordering the trial of eight prominent movers in the mo- narchical movenient, including two for- iner members of the Cabinet, has cre- ated a profound sensation in China, Liang. Shih-yi, who was the confi- dential adviser of Yuan Shi-kai and was probably the most influential man in China under Yuan Shi-kali, is in- cluded in the list of monarchists who are to be tried and punished. Liang Shih-yi is now in Hongkong, living un- der the protection of the British flag. lt will be impossible to extradite Liang Shih-yi for a political offense. If the Chinese Government were to make charges against him, in connection with his direction of the affairs of the Bank of Communications, it might be possible to extradite him. Criminal charges would probably command the attention of the English Government, but it ts quite unlikely that English officials in Pekin would regard political offenses as proper grounds for extraditicn. Minister of Finance. Chow Tzu-chi, for several years Yuan Shi-kai's Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, and Minister of Finance dur- ing the last days of Yuan's regime, is among the list of monarchists to be punished. He is now living in the Brit- ish concession at Tien-tsin, and conse- quently is beyond the reach of the Chinese Government, unless it makes criminal charges. Chu Chi-chien, Yuan Shi-kai's former Minister of the Interior, is the other Cabinet member against whom the man- date is directed. He is living at Tien- trin. Chu Chi-chien was at the head of the bureau which was making prepa- rations for the enthronement cere- monies, and his name figures very prominently in connection with the monarchical movement from its very inception. Yang Tu, the chief promoter of the Chou An Hui, or the Society for the Preservation of Peace, which formally launched the monarchical movement inh a public way, is the most prominent of the other men to be tried. Text of the Mandate. The full text of the mandate for the punishment of monarchists follows: “The movement for the change of form of state plunged the whole coun- try into utter confusion and nearly caused it to suffer national extinc- tion. Those who promoted the move- ment must be held responsible. The arrest is hereby ordered of Yang Tu, Sun Yu-chun, Ku Ao, Liang Shih-yi, Hsia Shou-tien, Chu Chi-chien, Chow Tzu-chi and Hsuen Ta-ky, who are to be handed to the judiciary, carefully and strictly tried and punished ac- cording to the law, to the end that a warning may be registered for the guidance of future generations. Oth- ers are hereby pardoned in the in- terest of leniency.” Objection to Punishment. Conservative newspapers, especialiy those printed in English, have advised strongly against the punishment of monarchists on the ground that such a step would make a reconciliation of the North and South even more diffi- cult by embittering the old factional strife. Practically all the foreign ministers in Peking strongly advised against such action, and urged the revolutioniste to drop all charges and center their efforts upon reconstruct- ing the shattered and disorganized government.

Tuan Chi- Jul, the Premier, was strongly against the punishment movement. It is most offensive to practically all the military leaders, and it is extremely doubtful whether an honest effort will ever be made to punish the monarchical leaders named in the mandate.

Nonpartisan League will see this year that few of the old members get back. But as to the extent that these and other am- bitious plans contribute to a equare deal, the farmer has few fllusions. The winter of 1914-15 saw wheat at $1.60 a bushel, but the farmer had been obliged to dis- pose of his wheat at little more than the conven- tional price for some years back. He believed it would go about as high tn the winter of 1915-16, as it actually did, but the farmer had long be- fore sold his wheat at $1 or less, because he need- ed the money. The grain dealer having stored in an élevator the wheat he has bought can obtain warehouse it and borrow money on them at low wheat he has raised can borrow on it no that precious authority, George Ellwanger, M. A., and his classic treatise upon the Pleasures of the Table—such matters as “les quenelles de levrant sauces d’une espagnolle au fumet,” and “les amourettes de boeuf marinees frites,” and “l’epaule de veau en musette champetre,” and “un coq vierge en petit deull,” while these are ;natural and ufiderstandable in French, would sound somewhat bizarre and perhaps unappetiz- ing if done into literal English, as “forcemeat balis of leverets sauced with a racy Spanish woman,” “the love-affairs of soused beef fried,” “a shoulder of veal in rural bagpipes,” and “a virgin rooster in half-mourning.” What will a bill of fare be without filets, souf- fles, pates, bisques, potages, consommes, entrees, garnis, piques, compots, and who will know it, aye, partake of it?

He went to- | ward the station, and presently ascend- ' ed the hill again beside a very pretty | young woman, who looked a little selft- 'eonscious under the scrutiny of the neighbors. “Hiis fourth,” caid Mr. Stiles, the drug- ' gist, to his assistant. “Going daffy?’’ inquired the assistant. “No, I guess he's advertised so much in business, with such success, that he 3 thinks he can get results the same way in his domestic arrangements.” Old man Wimpole, who had never mar- ried, had, in fact, scandalized the neigh- 4 bors by advertising that he wished to adopt a daughter. The news had been published in surrounding cities, and, as a result, numerous young women had climbed the hill, to retire baffled in their quest. The quest was worth while, for old man Wimpole was worth $200,000. Finally the choice settled upon a Miss Higginson, who remained just a week. The next was. a Miss Gray, who stayed 18 days. Miss Fellows, her successor, lasted a month and a half, and had ex- pressed the opinion to Mr. Stiles, only the day before leaving, that she thought her job was secure. Why old man Wimpole had detached three successive females from his house- hold he proceeded to explain to Amelia Darragh, who, all agreed as she ascend- ed the hill, was the best-looking andi the most ladylike of the lot. “Sit down, daughter,’’ said old man Wimpole, as they entered his parlor, about which the girl cast An approving giance. “I advertised for a daughter who'd take care of me when I grow oid, having learned to love me."’ “Yes, father?’’ inquired Miss Amelia, blandly; and old man Wimpole looked | at her in something of admiration.

It was plain that old man Wimpole had met his match. It was about this tir’. that the vil- lage began to note a curious change in old man Wimpole. He, who had held his former daughters under, had harried and driven them, so that it was clear whichever one stayed, she! wculd have more than a servant’s du- ties—he, old man Wimpole, “knuckled under’ to Miss Amelia. The climax came when the rates collector, hap- pening in, perceived old man Wimpole upon his knee, meekly lacing Miss Amelia’s shoe. *‘He’ll marry her. She’s got him, the minx!’ said the druggist’s wife to her husband. So old man Wimpole thought. Des- perately, because he knew that the fem- inine gex is pastmaster in wiles, he ad- mitted defeat. He could not do without Miss Amelia; ‘te could not do with her. He told her so. Moreover, he told her so one evening, when they were in the garden, and there was a moon. That shows how far old man Wimpole Was gone. “Amelia,’’ he said, “I don’t want you for a daughter any more. I want you to be my wife.”’ Amelia, who had thrust her arm through his in true daughterly fashion, withdrew it indignantly. “Father, how dare you lay such a trap for me!"" she exclaimed. ‘You know very well you advertised for a daughter, not for a wife, and you know What you said to me as soon as I got inside the house.”’ “But this is Amelia.’’ “You want to get rid of me. You think I’m going to do whaé the othérs did. I don’t intend to.” “Amelia! Listen to me!” shouted old man Wimpole, so that he was overheard i. the street by curious pedestrians. ‘I love you.

MELIA looked at him with a sort A of affectionate glance. ‘“‘Then, fa- ther,’’ she said, ‘‘I’m sorry to say that it is impossible. In fact, I am mar- ried already.”’ ‘*What!’’ thundered old man Wimpole. “You been deceiving me all along?”’ “In what way, father?’’ ‘*‘Pretending to be a single girl—’’ ‘I beg your pardon, father,’ re- turned Amelia. ‘‘I have never stated whether I was married or not. It was you who tacked the Miss to my name. Yes, I am married. And happily mar- ried. And how 'ave I deceived you?” ‘“You—you—you didn’t tell me—’’ stammered the disillusioned old man. “Why should It be deceivin:: you even if I didn’t. Can’t a daughter get mar- ried? In fact, my husband wants me beck in a few days, unless—unless you want us both to come ind live with you,”’ said Amelia kindly. Old man Wimpole glared at her. “What is your true name? Let me know who you are, anyway,’ he said. “Mrs. Jime Wimpole,”’ said Amelia softly. Old man Wimpole jumped 1 foot into the air. ‘‘What'’ he yelled. “It was a put-up job, then—you and that scoundrel Jim?” Amelia noddec, and suddenly two tears trickled down her cheeks. ‘‘Father,’’ she pleaded, “forgive us both. We love each other, and we both love you. And, if you will, you—-you shall have back, your grog-bottle.’’ And old man Wimpole, in acquies- cence, planted . kiss upon his daugh- ter’s cheeks.

In point of antiquity the knife tak: s prece- dence of the fork, the use of a knife at table becoming general in England only in the later period of the Plantagenets. In the fourteenth. Tifteenth and even up to the earlier yeors of the sixteenth century, people commonly sat on the ground or, if of the noble class, on stools and chairs, and having neither knives or forks, not any substitute for them, ate with thetr fingers. In the first era of which we have any distinct record knives were of stone, and while the use of iron in their con- struction goes back to the ninth cen- tury, it was not wnt!! the fifteenth that knives began to come upon the table. Originally the dagge: was used to tak. the place of a knife at meais, the earliest form of knife used in England and rance during the time of Henry VIII and Francfs I being of a siender straight blade, the handle of elaborately carved ivory or of agate or silver, often inlaic with enamel or precious stones, and gen- erally the preperty of a noble or othe dignitary of high rank; the common peo- ple still adhering to the old simple and direct method of conveying the food to their mouths. It was in the seventeenth century that sets of knives ior distribution among the guests came into common use. Through various periods the shape of the table knife blade underwent many changes, the straight bla’‘é with rounded ends fa- riiilar to us today being brought into use only in. the latter part of the eighteenth. cemtury. The fork as a table utensil is of com- paratively modern date. That it was used in medieval times for the prepara- tion and cutting cf food in the kitchen reems certain, tut its employment at the table is of the last years of the sixteenth century and was originally due to the extraordinary development tin the size of collars and cuffs.

Umpire Chill ruled that Miller knocked the ball out of Chapman’s hand. « You had to see this play to appre- ciate the ridiculousness of the de- cision, Miller was galloping with all his oe away-from Chapman and had absolutely no chance of interfer- ing with the man behind his back.

Robin- son, who will be back, is the only player the Cards have out unde: this agreement. Watson’s Control Too Good. “Watson had too good control yes- terday,’’ Was the explanation made this morning by Huggins for the rookies’ bad start here.” They made a few lucky hits off him in the first inning, by bouncing the ball around, and he could not get the ball away ‘from the heart of the pan. He's a rattling good pitcher, though."’ Watson is the pitcher, who making his first start in tne majors after com- ing from Paris, Tex., downed the great Grover Alexander. 2-0, allowing the Phillies seven hits. Last week he lost to Tesreau, 2-0, because Jeff yielded only two safeties. Watson was’ bumped six hits and seven runs in less than two frames by the Corsairs.

OS LE EE OI LLL LLL OL A LE STOCK MARKET IGNORES Tht STRIKE OUTLOOK Prices Close Slightly Higher After Some Selling at the Opening; New Loans Likely. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “Alternating periods of reassurance and misgiving over the railway labor situation dictated the market's action today. Those factors were more ap- parent, however, in a restriction of the volume of business than in the course of prices. The stock market, without minimising the gravity of the situation. was inclined to take eee from the efforts of the ent to bring about a eful settlement. Back of this was a large amount of incredul- ity that either party to the controversy would deliberately precipitate a strike, when such action would so surely bring quick and general condemnation. “The raiiways of the country have been learning more and more to appeal to public opinion; that the labor organi- zations should gard it, especially in the face of a l from the ad- ministration, seemed increasing improb- able from the attitude of the labor rs as reported from Washington, despite earlier statements that they would refuse arbitration. “Indeed, some of the railway shares made substantial ins, which were fairly well held. @ advance in Read- ing stock was exceptional, from the peculiar speculative position of that is- sue Other securities, included the in- dustrial stocks, were generally firm, most of them making fractional ad- vances. “Shares of copper mining companies were still influenced by reports of in- creasing activity in the trade, and the conviction that a new British loan was soon to be announced was apparently the occasion for mederate advances in the munitions shares, though thus far there has been little question of Great Britain's ability to pay for what she buys. cs The Car Situation. Along with the labor negotiations, the railroads are facing a situation within themselves that promises to pro- vide difficulties from an operating standpoint. Reference is made to the ‘rapid reduction in the country’s sur- Plus of freight cars. Figures published today, showed that surplus on Aug. 1, stood at 10,616 cars, against more than 52,000 a month earlier. Early last year more than 300,000 idle cars were re- ported. Under the stimulus of high grain prices, the West is beginning to rush its wheat and corn to market, and an actual shortage of transportation facilities seems to threaten. Congestion on ratlroads not only Proves costly to carriers, but temporar- ily sets a limit on industrial activit pd whe gue h —_ a drawback can ents r when e country’s os high level. y’s industry is “Another consideration in toda stock market was the evident belle et that the new British loan, which it was expected would shortly be ar- ranged, would withdraw a large vol- ume of American securities, which are now being liquidated in this markel, ° supply funds for Great Britain. If the present plan to make a loan of £308, 000,000 or $250, 009,000 is carried throug » with American securities as the bulk of the collateral, the ben- efit to the Stock Exchange would ap- pear obvious, in that Hquidation would be checked to that extent. “The amount of American financ- ing of foreign governments is aa- coe, Bena eee which, a ear 3 u ave been believe - possible.

Failure of exporters to follow the advance with aggressive pur- chases also favored the bears. The market closed uncertain and near the low level of the day. Corn futures broke over Ic, owing to good rainzs and low temperatures over the crop belt. Cables came %d to 3%d higher, but the trade thought them “rigged” by Chicago speculative houses which have been playing the bull side of the market. Oats were nearly lic lower on better crop and weather re- ports. The Liverpool cable said: ‘“‘The wheat market at the immediate opening waz steady, with a good demand for spot, and export offers dearer. American shipments were lighter, with the larg- est percentage consigned to the Canti- nent and United Kingdom. Corn mar- ket was very firm, with demand for Spot ee Ae and Plate offers higher.” Chicago wired: ‘““‘Wheat seems to be taking on its first good break on the 40 cents advance. One factor is the Kussian estimate of 16,000,000 tons surplus wheat supplies, suggesting around 630,000,000 ‘bushels of old and new wheat above requirements.” Bartlett-Frazier Co. wired: “Some selling of wheat is based on the statement that there is a Canadian crop report making the Canadian crop 230,000,000 bu.
