JOHN D'S JOKE ON BARBER 1S A ‘SIDE SPLITTER’ FOR THE LINKS Perhaps the “Tonsorial Artist” Is the Only One Who Doesn’t See the Point. TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Sept. 8—A friend, who plays golf with John D. Rockefeller, reading that Rockefeller has a pure water supply in Tarrytown, this morning told of a joke that the oil king played on his barber. After the barber had shaved Rocke- feller one warm afternoon he invited him.to take an automobile ride. They went to Mamaroneck and Rockefeller asked the barber if he would like a drink. The barber assured Rockefeller that he would be delighted. ‘Well, you wait till we get back to the house,’’ John D. said. “I’ve gct a fine cold drink back there for you.” All the way home the barber had vis- ions of a cold bottle of beer and Rocke- feller encouraged his imagination by remarking that he would be glad when he got back home so he could stand treat. When the car stopped in front of the Rockefeller home, John D.: called one of his servants, saying, “Hi, John, get pitcher and go up to the spring and get us a@ glass of that pure, cold water.”’ The barber, whose name was Schmitt- berger, nearly collapsed. WHITE MAN WRITES OF VISIT TO TRIBE OF BLOND ESKIMOS, Missionary Says He Found Mysteri- ous People Far in Arctic : Zone. SASKATOON, Sask., Sept. 8.—The tribe of blond Eskimos which Harry V. Radford of New York, the mur- dered explorer, reported he had found on Coronation Bluff, far in the Arctic zone, have again been visited by a2 white man. In a letter received to- day from the Rev. H. Girling of Em- manuel College by the Rev. Dr. Car- penter, principal of the college, the missionary announced he reached the tribe October 10, 1915, and remained with htswme some time. He asserts he is the first white man to dwell among the new found people, who since their discovery have constituted an ethno- logical mystery and formed the goal of unsuccessful expeditions. The letter was dated last December from “Camp Necessity,” 10 miles from the blond tribe, the first of whom the misionary said he found about 10 miles east of Cochburn Point. Girling said the language of the fair skinned race has only a dialectic difference from that of the Mackenzie River Es- kimos. SOLOMON HEIRS WANT $660,000 HE GAVE TO GEN.

PROVIDES FOR HIS WIFE Will Says He Shall Share Equally With Other Children in Case of Good Behavior. The will of. Richard C. Kerens, mil- lionaire politician and railroad bond- holder and former Ambassador to Aus- tria, which was filed yesterday, left no bequests to his two sisters living at Eureka Springs, Ark., Mrs. Sarah Lau- derbeck and Mrs. Julia Dunn. The estate, which is estimated to be valued at from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000, was left to Kerens’ children and grand- children. Neither sister cared to dis- cuss the will when seen by reporters today at Eureka Springs. Kerens’ will embodies his final effort to reform his son, Vincent Kerens, now a resident of Washingten, D. C. The will provides that, if Vincent Ker- ents shall, at any future time, be able to show that he has been continuously sober, and that his behavior has been continuously good, for five consecutive years, he shall receive one-third of the bulk of the estate, without restrictions. This share will be from $500,000 to $1,- 000,000, it is estimated. Until he shaii be able to meet this requirement, the will provides, in effect, that he shall receive only $50 a month. The St. Louis Union Trust Co., execu- tor of the estate, is directed to hold Vineent’s share in trust, until he shai! qualify himself to receive it, and it is to set apart $500 a month from the income for him. But it is also directed to pay $450 of this amount to Vincent’s wife, Jane Henry Kerens, from whom he is Separated. The payments to her are to have precedence over the payments to him. In case of the illness of Vin- cent, the executor is authorized to spend whatever may be necessary for him, taking the money from the undis- tributed income or from the principal jof his share of the estate. Frank X. Ryan, trust officer of the trust company, said to'a Post-Dispatch reporter that the Purpose of the will Seemed to be to persuade Vincent Ker- ens either to become reconciled with his wife, or, if he remains apart from her, to reform his personal habits. If Vin- cent and his wife were to resume living together, he said, the full amount of $500 a month would be payable to him. The two other principal heirs, each of whom receives one-third of the bulk of the estate, are Kerens’ two daughters, Mrs. Madeline Kenna, wife of Edward D. Kenna, a lawyer of New York and London, and Mrs. Gladys Colket, wife of G. Hamilton Colket of Merion, Pa. Mrs. Colket also receives residence property. Their shares are not to be in trust. Trust funds amounting to a total of $500,000 must be created before the di- vision between the principal heirs is made. One of these funds, $200,000 in bonds, is to be for Richard C. Kerens Jr., a son, who is to receive not more than $500 a month for life. No provision is made for terminating this trusteeship, as in Vincent’s case. There are six other trust funds of $50,000 each, for six grand- children, who are Mrs. Kenna’s son: and two daughters, Vincent Kerens’ daugh- ter, Mrs. Colket’s son and Francis Ker- ens McKenna, son of a deceased daugh- ter, Kathryne Kerens McKenna. This boy’s father, Capt. Frank B. McKenna, a son of Justice McKenna of the United State Supreme Court, is also named in the will, it being directed that his $3000 rote, secured by a mortgage on his Len- ox place home, be canceled and the mortgage released. A seventh grandchild, ‘a son of the Kennas, previously received his $50,000 trust fund, the will states. The will makes no\bequest to religious or char- itable obje¢ts, stating that Kerens made such gifts he desired to make in his lifetime. At mentions two such gifts which he’made, $20,000 to Father Dunne’s Newsboys’ Home and $20,000 to St. Louis University. Webster Groves Widow Was in Box at Sporteman’s Park.

The Health Department, in its Sep- tember bulletin, issued today, estimates that there will be 7500 to 15,000 hay fever victims in the city between now and November. This estimate is based on the fact that it has been found in most parts of the United States that one to two per cent of the population suffer an attack of hay fever annually. Beginning next Monday the depart- ment will enforce a new ordinance authorizing it to cut weeds and assess the cost against property owners. Although it is too late to assist hay fever victims tt ear, the hopes that next year’the early destruc- tion and the prevention of much rag weed will save many St. Louvisans from hay fever. “The common rag weed grows in dry soil and ‘s so abundant in St. Louis and surrounding territory that the pollen is blown from all directions and practically covers the city like an invisible blanket,”’ the bulletin says. “‘Medical science has proved that hay fever is due to the pol- lens of weeds coming in contact with the nose or eyes.”’ 14 MOTOR BOATS DRILL IN NAVAL TRAINING CRUISE Destroyers and Power Yachts Try Without Success to Find Planted Mines, NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Tactical drills by 14 motor boats on the naval training cruise here were executed yesterday un- der excellent weather conditions.

SENT FOR ‘Slain Lawyer’s Companion Is Questioned Again — Widow Still in Kansas City. By Leased Wire From the New Y Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, _ NEW YORK, Sept. 8—Preparations are. being made to arrest a woman in connection with the shooting last Sun- day night at a lonely spot in Van Cort- lend Park of Dwight P. Dilworth. the lawyer, who was killed while in the company of Miss Mary V. McNiff, pro- Prietress of a Fifth avenue perfume shop. Necessary evidence was given by a young woman, who said under exami- nation that she saw the shooting and that the revolver was held by a woman, whom she described to the authori- ties. Police Capt. Wines and Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Quigley found the wom- an witness after investigating a state- ment which came from a woman living in the Van Cortlandt Park section of the Bronx, that she heard the witness say she had seen the shooting. When the woman named was taken to the King’s Bridge Police Station she at first denied that she was near Lovers’ Lane, where Dilworth was killed, but after she was confronted by the woman who gave the first clew she consented to make a complete statement of what ste had seen. She said she had gone to the place with a young man and while she and her companion were talking they saw the automobile Dilworth was driving. Then she described the trag- edy. Miss McNiff Sent For. The authorities at-once communicated the statement to the Coroner, who hastened to the station, after having detailed a detective to go to the hone of Miss McNiff and bring her to the sta- tion house. While the Corone® was going over the: statement of the Woman Witness, Miss McNiff and Eugene Corwin, at whose home she lives, arrived at the station. Miss McNiff was at once led into a room, where Capt. Wines and the Cor- oner questioned her. Detectives were sent to the home of the young man named by fhe witness and he was taken before the officials at about the time Miss McNiff arrived. During preliminary questioning the young man declined to make any state- ment, but when he was told his com- \panion had told all she knew, he be- came more talkative and made admis- sions which were regarded as aighly important. Lee Morrison, author of “The Hour of Temptation,” playing in Daly's The- ater, who was Dilworth’s closest coin- panion, said today that the murdered lawyer had never received any threats and did not fear for his life. Dilworth had an appointment with Morrison in Philadelphia Monday noon to attend the opening of a theatrical production trere. “Dwight had a great deal of trouble with ‘the machine he was driving,” said Morrison. “In the past two weeks he had it repaired 11 times, and for that reason he did not want to drive it to Philadelphia. There is no doubt in my mind but that he stopped to adjust some- thing on the machine when one of the prowlers attacked hiny and he ‘came back. » 9° Widow in Kansas City Believes Hus- band’s Slayer Will Confess.

Holding Out in Strike Operate Only 27. — Has The Grafeman Dairy Co.. which has madé a “separate peace’’ with the strik- ing milk wagon drivers, had its fuil delivery fleet of 90 one-horse wagons at work this morning, according to the management. Of the “big three’ dai- ries which are holding vut against the drivers’ demands—it was the “big four’ before the Grafeman company signed the union’s agreement—the Peve- ly company had out 123 wagons, the St. Louis Dairy seven and the Unicn Dairy seven. The terms made with the Grafeman company were made known to the union mzinbers at a meeting last night, but have not been made public. Secretary Norman of the drivers’ union said to- day that the increase te the Grafeman drivers ranged from $2 to $26 a inonth and that the average increase would be about $15. The Graferan men, he said, formerty made $60 to #3 a month. Father Timothy Dempsey, volunteer mediator, renewed his efforts to settle the strike, and sought to bring about a cenference of the strikers’ representa- tives with the dairymen, particularly with D. C. Kerckhoff, president of the Pevely company. He said he hoped, now that one of the large dairies had made a settlement, it would be possible to bring the others into line. Charles Harrison of 6511 Chamberlain avenue, a striker, was fined $5 in Po- lice Court for striking J. W. Robbe, a driver for the St. Louis Dairy Co., in an areaway at 5780 Westminster place, Tuesday morning. The fine was stayed by Provisional Judge Connor. Ernest Carr, a striker who has figured in pre- vious disturbances, was arraigned on a charge of disturbing thé peace of M. Cattner, a driver, by abusive language, but the acting Judge held’ that the of- fense did not warrant a fine and dis- charged Carr. 2000 MILITIAMEN TRAVEL 183 MILES IN 132 MOTOR TRUCKS Experiment So Successful Some May Be Sent Home That Way When Demobilization at Border Begins, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept 8.—The First and Second Regiments of Kan- sas Infantry, 2000 men, traveling in 182 motor trucks, reached here today and went into camp soon after com- pleting their 183-mile trip from Eagle Pass.

MEXICAN BOARD Commissioners Talk Over Mili-. tary Operations: at the Boundary. NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 8.—The Mexican-American Joint Commission today made what was described as definite progress toward the formu- lation of an agreement which would cover future military operations along the international border. This was the only subject discussed dur- ing the morning sesion, over which Franklin K. Lane, heading the Amer- ican delegation, presided. At the noon recess Secretary Lane said he was well satisfied with the relations which had been established among the commissioners and the progress made. No border plan, even of a tentative nature, had yet been adopted, he said. Statement Is Issued. The following statement was sued: “This morning’s session was devoted to consideration of plans respecting the mutual protection of the border. It was explained by the members of the Mextean commission that it was their desire that some plan be devised which would avoid all possible justification for the recurrence of such incidents as that at Columbus and would insure so far as was possible the protection of the bor- der. “To this end the American commis- sion sought to know what plan of co- operation on the part of the United States, if any, wouldsmost help Mexico - ioe putting down of bandits along the er. Plan for Co-operation, “Consideration was given to plans already taken under advisement by Gens. Scott and Obregon, and to the plan of forming a line of troops along each side of the border which would supplement each other and a distinct agreement as to co-operation. “The excitement in Mexico aroused by the presence of the American troops and by their long march southward was said to have been produced by the size of the force and especially by the presence of artillery.” ELLA FLAG6 YOUNG FOR WILSON Announcement Made itn Telegram From Atlantic City te Chicago.

By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. BUDAPEST, Sept. & via Berlin and London, Sept. 8—Dark were the clouds that hung over the Hungarian Parlia- ment when it reconvened today and red gleamed the anger of the people against portion of the House. A constant chorus and refrain, “‘Ab- dicate! Resign! Get out! You nave betrayed the Fatherland!” greeted Pre- mier Tisza in what was one of the wildest and most tumultuous sessions in years, even in the most uncommonly tempestuous Hungarian Parliament. The Karolyi, Apponyi, Justh and Andrassy parties, but more especially Karolyi and Justh, hurled accusation after accusa- tion at Tisza that the Hungarian na- tion had been deceived and misied as trance into the war and charged that the Government and its diplomacy had been the dupe of Rumanian cunning, which had brought so much misery, suf- fering and loss to the people of the rich- est sections of Hungary, where thou- sands of citizens were suddenly com- pelled to flee before the unexpected in- vasion when they had considered them- selves secure under Tisza’s assurances of Aug. 24. Count Czaernin, the Austro-Hungarian Minister at Bucharest, was called a tral- tor. Count Tisza, for his part, frankly admitted that every branchin the Gov- ernment, diplomatic and military, had been misled and deceived by Rumania. He fell back upon the “reliance pjaced in a King’s word,” and expressed the hope that “with God’s help Rumania vould not escape its fate.” Count Tisza appealed for unity on the part of the Hungarian people in this grave hour and in that was second- ed by Counts Apponyi and Andrassy, despite their scathing criticism. The balconies of the assembly chamber were jammed with people. “Abdicate!” Yells Opposition. Count Tisza’s efforts to cause some agreement between the Government and tho opposition continu until almost midnight yesterday, but failed except in so far as an understanding was reached with the followers of Apponyi end Andrassy that today’s debate be held within certain bounds. The stately Parliament guard on duty in the corridors, in burnished steel hel- mets, with long swords and automatic pistols, and the attendants in high, shiny patent leather boots, red trousers and green and gold coats, made a pic- turesque scene. The moment the Prime Minister who, in the absence of Francis Joseph at Vienna, practically rules Hun- gary, entered the chamber to take his seat with his party, the tensity snapped like an overtaut string. The bedlam broke loose in a veritable storm of shrieks and criés from the left of the House, led by Karolyi:. “Abdicate! Ab- dicate! Abdicate! Get out! Pack up! Our country is going to ruin under you! You betrayed the Fatherland!” To the unitiated, unacquainted with the Hungarian Parliament and its tu- multuous and temperamental ways, it would have appeared that these. fierce- ly gesticulating Magyars were about to tear the Premier to pieces, and that a revolution was on. So it seemed to an- other foreign correspondent standing by my side in the press box, which is down on ‘the main floor. “That's the collapse,” he remarked. But it wasn’t. It was merely the tem- peramental Hungarian way, and that is one of the reasons why Tisza, like his father, a champion duellist, has held his post. At that it was the unloading of a storm gathering in the _ super- charged atmosphere of the latter days. President von Boethy,. the presiding officer, succeeded in having the roll called. Tisza arose to speak. It was the signal for a renewal of bedlam. “Honorable House, I fulfill the duty”—— he began, but his vofce was immediately lost in Jeers, cat-calls and shouts: “No, You don’t!” Julius Justh yelling, ‘‘No, you don’t: ‘then abdicate, that’s your duty!’ which was immedi- ately taken up by the Opposition, all ex- Cept the Andrassy followers. Tisza finally managed to make himself heard once more. Referring to Rumania’s declaration he said: “In other cases where people consid- ered themselves even half to belong to civilized nations it was customary for hostilities to be preceded by certain diplomatic usages, such as negotiations, demands or notice of intentions, and they at least tried to keep outward ap- pearance within the diplomatic usages of civilized nations. Such, however, Was not the case with Rumania.”’ At that an outburst of disapproval broke more furiously than ever, above which Justh could be heard: “You al- lowed them to give vou one under the ear! You don't belong in the chair of The violence of the Karo- lyites carried the Apponyites with then. Count Andrassy, his face almost as white as his pointed beard, sat quietly, but the tumult was beginning to affect even his followers and seemed to threat- en to engulf them. Calls Czernin Traitor. He walked over to Karolyi's seat and seeined to plead with him, but the storm only began anew. “What did you send Czernin to Bucha- the Government as reflected by. a ares, to the imminence of the Rumanian ¢n-| 4 “Don’t. act like animals or devils, be men; be gentlemen! Give the Minister-President a chance. You ask him questions but refuse to hear his answers; be sensible,” all in vain. His gesticulating arms, thrown about wildly as he sat in his chair high up above the floor, gave the scene a most tragi-comic appearance. Tisza, his immobile, Sphynx face colorless and, I thought, rather sad, stopped, quietly waiting for the out- bursts to subside. There is nothing in his appearance to make the Hun- garian duellist Premier an impressive or heroic figure at first sight. He has nothing of the speli-binding.mag- netism of a Bryan in speaking. He is not even dramatic in manner, but speaks in a monotone. But, as he stood there with folded arms, facing an angry half of the House as it thundered, roared and shrieked, in its tone the bitterness of thousands of refugees from the Siebenburgen country (Translyvania), there was something Napoleon-like in the Pre- mier. He had no intention of aban- doning the Government or getting out, and told them so frankly, which was the signal for 10 minutes’ more noise. “You permitted yourself to be made a monkey of by the Rumanians. You are not fit to head the Government. Why don’t you bring the Hungarian troops home to protect their own country?” someone cried. “At the proper time I will take the responsibility for everything,” Tisza managed to interject. “Your respon- sibility counts for nothing,” was the quick retort, and again the storm at- tained dramatic heights. Fortified, as was generally believed in the chamter and lobbies, with a royal decree in his pocket signed by the aged King in Vienna, dissolving or adjourning Parliament, Tisza never for a moment: lost equanimity or pa- tience, the patience of a father with his wayward children. “T don’t wish to impugn the mo- tives of anyone, but members should consider what impression such scenes will make abroad,” Tisza finally got in. House: Admits Being Deceived. Then for the first time his voice raised above the usual monotone, and the man who is undoubtedly greatest today in the dual monarchy, in clear, sharp, incisive tones and staccato- like sentences that began to reveal the steel and iron under the velvet, held the floor for a few minutes. He characterized Rumania’s action as unprecedented in history, having been preceded neither by formulated demands nor a notice denouncing the alliance that existed between Ruma- nia and Austro-Hungary until “rifles were already cracking on the border.” With amazing candor he admitted that the Central Powers had been fooled by. Rumania’s diplomatic craft- iness. ‘Rumania,” Tisza reiterated, ‘‘misle3 all the diplomatic and military factors and elements of the allied states.” “That’s.no-excuse,” was the keynote of the outburst that followed. Tisza declared that the central Powers had agreed upon. certain preparations for the eventual entrance of Rumania against them, and that these prepara- tions include Siebenburgen and Bul- garia. ‘The Rumanian attack came before these preparations could be brought to a conclusion,” he said. “But I trust in God that Rumania will not escape its fate.” Tisza appealed to the best that is in the Hungarian people, which often in the stormy history of Hungary has brought the nation through all dangers, declar- ing that the unity of Hungarians with their loyal allies would. result in the defeat of their enemies. Count Appony!l, a very dignified figure, made a strong speech, an appeal for unity In this hour. He, too, he said, had much to criticise in what the Gov- ernment had done, but this was not the time for that, when the nation ought by united effort to concentrate all its en- éergies on the defense_and preservation of the Fatherland. He dwelt as an example on the Prussian officers in Ga- licia, who had done away with orderlies and personal attendants to wait upon them, and cleaned their shoes and their clothes themselves. Count Andrassy, who strongly resem- bles former Ambassador Bryce, speak- ing for the Constitutional party, declared he, too, would keep his criticism within patriotic bounds at this time, but di- rected his attacks principally against Burian’s foreign policy. He said. “War Is Not a Duel.» “I will not at this time take up in de- tail the numerous mistakes made by the Government, especially in the direc- tion of foreign affairs, from the Iialian question to the much more serious er- rors since, which are in direct connec- tion with the present crisis.’’ Andrassy expressed doubt whether the fact that Rumania succeeded in deceiv- Ing and misleading the Government, or that Germany was misled as well as Austria-Hungary, was a legitimate ox- cuse. He declared it was not customary for an enemy to announce his intentions. pointed out that Japan began war on Russia without a formal] declaration of war preceding, and that Germany, imme-" diately upon her declaration, marched into Belgium. ‘War is not a duel, where the contact, | ‘Karolyi took his seat. STRKE RIPPLES. | ONLY THE SURFACE LINES IN NEW YORK Subways ‘and Elevated Railroads Are Running on About Normal Schedule, 3500 STRIKE BREAKERS All Street Cars Getting Back to Normal Schedules, Manage- ment Declares. a NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—With sub- way and elevated trains being oper- ated apparently on normal schedule, traction officials insisted today that New York’s strike had been broken. Fifty per cent of the “green cars” of the New York Railways Cow.’s surface system were running, the company announced and Police De- partment reports indicated that thr walkout was not having a widespread effect. Union leaders said at noon that 8500 men were on strike on the sub- way and elevated roads and 4000 men on the “green car system. When the surface cars were started out again at 6 o’clock this morning the situation was in charge of James T. Waddell, in charge of the strikebreak- ers. Waddell came here from Chicago last night making the run by special train in 20 hours. He promised to crush the strike in 48 hours. Has 3500 Strike Breakers. “Tt have 3500 strikebreakers here,”’ said Waddell, “‘and 2700 of these are now working. They are more than cnoigh to control the situation.’’ A number of elevated trains were at- tacked during the early morning, but in no case was there any approach to a mob riot. Strike sympathizers on the roofs of tenement houses bombarded the trains with bottles and bricks and in one instance with pistol shots. | Several of Passengers Cut. None of the bullets took effect, but several passengers were cut by missiles and broken glass. The police surround- ed the blocks from which the missiles came and searched the roofs, but made only a few arrests. Rumors of a plot to blow up the sub- way caused the police to maintain a watch at every underground station, but the subway trains ran during the night and early morning without molestation. The strike thus far, according to Wad- dell, has cost the traction company $200,- 000. not critical,”” concluded Andrassy. Michael Karolyi excoriated the Gov- ernment and Tisza for trying to excuse the situation on the ground they had been misled. He referred to the rule of war that the General who was defeat- ed through carelessness was brought to trial before a courtmartial. Such was the position now of the Minister-Presi- dent who was directly and indirectly re- sponsible, declared Karolyi, increased still further by the fact he had sup- ported the appointment of Count Czer- nin as Minister at Bucharest, notwith- standing the strong disapproval of the opposition on the ground that it was a dangerous appointment. Karolyi fur- ther charged Tisza with being respon- sible for grave mistakes in retiring Berchtold and appointing Burian (as Foreign Minister). “On foreign soil, under foreign com- mand, Hungary is fighting for those borders, while ours at home are left unprotected. Doberldo, Gorizia, Vol- hynia—need I say more?’’ Ka- rolyi. ‘“‘But our dearest treasure, our Siebenburgen—why, no one is fighting for it. We don’t beg, we demand that Hungary's troops be ordered home. We demand that Siebenburgen be guarded by Hungarian troops. “Every Hungarian will sacrifice every- thing for Siebenburgen—treasure, blood, life and children; and again as in other times girls and women will lay their ornaments, their jewels,.on the altar of the fatherland. There is not a Hun- garian who is not prepared to give everything he has for Siebenburgen. And yet under one condition, only one, and that is the men at the head of our country abdicate.” A tremendous,storm of approval from the left of thé House greeted this as Tisza rose again and protested strongly against pictur- ing the situation “as if the fate of the nation were on the edge of the preci- pice over the abyss,’’ but he was im- mediately drowned out by the wildest tumult, which continued despite the ceaselessly ringing béll and waving arms of the President and his shouts for order. Again and again Tisza, when a mo- mentary lull came, protested against the what he called false picture of the situation drawn by the opposition and the unjustified charges against the Gov- ernment, declaring finally: “You can- not silence me; you cannot prevent the Government fulfilling its duty.” HIT WITH BASEBALL; GETS $50 Harry W.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Authority to take drastic retaliatory steps’ against in- terference with American commerce by belligerents 1p the European war are contained in the emergency revenue bill as finally approved. The provisions, put into the measure in the Senate at the suggestion of the State Department, were re-written by the Conference Com- mittee, but their general effect was un- changed. As finally agreed upon, the first of the retaliatory authorizations read: ‘‘Whenever any country, dependency, or colony shall prohibit the importation of any article the product of the soil or industry of the United States and not injurious to health or morals, the Pres- ident shall have power to prohibit, dur- ing the period such prohibition, is in force, the importation into the United States of similar articles, or in case the United States does not import similar articles from that country, then other articles, the products of such country, dependency or colony. Power of President. ‘“That whenever during the existence of a war in which the United States is not engaged the President shall be sat- isfied that there is reasonable ground to believe that under the laws, regula- tions or practice of nations, the importa- tion into their own or any other country, dependency, or colony of any article the product of the soil or industry of the United States and not injurious to health or morals is prevented or re- stricted the President is authorized and empowered to prohibit or restrict during the period such prohibition or restric- tion is in force, the importation into the United States of similar or other ar- ticles, products of such country, de- pendency, or colony as in his opinion the public interest may require; and in such case he shall make proclamation stating the article or articles which are prohibited from importation into the United States, and any person or per- sons who shall import or attempt or conspire to import or be concerned in importing, such article or articles into the United States contrary to the pro- hibition in such proclamation shall be liable to a fine of not less than $2000 nor more than $50,000, or to imprison- ment not to exceed two years, or both, in the discretion of the court. The President may change, modify, revoke or renew such proclamation in his des- cretion and the Senate agree to the same.’’ May Withhold Clearances. The final retaliation measure based on the same war conditions, would give the President authority to withhold clearance to vessels of a belligerent nation. “Making or giving any undue or unreasonable preference or advan- tage in any respect whatsoever to any particular person, company, firm or corporation or any particilar descrip- tion of traffic in the United States or its possessions, or to any citizens of the United States residing in neutral countries abroad or in subjecting any particular corporation to any undue or unreasonable prejudice, disadvantage, injury or discrimination in regard to accepting, receiving, transporting or de- livering or refusing to accept, receive, transfer or deliver any cargo, freight or passengers, or in any other respect whatsoever, he is hereby authorized and empowered to direct the detention of such vessels by withholding clear- ance or by formal notice forbidding de- parture, and to revoke, modify, or re- new any such direction.’’ It also would give authority to the President to deny American facilities cf commerce to citizens in the United States of any offending belligerent na- ticn and would authorize him to use the land and naval forces of the Gov- ernment to enforce the retaliatory provisions.

UNION Shortening of the German Linein West Seems Likely Men Urgentfy Needed Efsewhere HERE have been in the last T in the ‘‘come back’’ of the Germans Something over a month ago Gen. Joffre remarked to an American visitor that the German counter attack had lost its “bite.” This has been increas- ingly. true since then. What is more 8iz- nificant is the fact that after;a long period of relative calm, the French have resumed their attack and have been gaining at a rate which is truly, surprising. Week before last they sud- denly took Maurepas in a swing for- ward that covered about a mile. Later they took Clery, then, and most recent- ly, they took Le Forest and are rapidly approaching the Bapaume-Peronne road, which must be nearly a dozen miles east of the point at which they started their attack about July 1. Meantime, away to the south and about Chaulnes they are beginning to make material progress, and Chaulnes itself, one of the strong points in the German line, which has been held since the days of the battle of the Aisne in September, 1914, is in serious peril. Still further’ to the south Roye is menaced. In sum, the whole salient, the big bulge from Peronne all the way round to the Oise, is crumbling and in the last few days the crumbling has been more marked than at any time during the Somme battle. May Be “Selling” Ground. This may mean merely that the Ger- mans have adopted the French tactics at Verdun, that they are holding their lines with very small contingents and “selling’’ back to the French, at a price, trenches and villages which have no vital strategic value. The French were limited in the Verdun operation by the fact that they had decided to hold Ver- dun for political rather than. military reasons. The Germans have no such handicap. Thus the French were com- pelled from time to time to counter at- tack at Dead Man’s Hill and about the Vaux plateau, and their situation had become exceedingly involved when the Russian and Somme offensives inter- vened to divert German attention. But the Germans, as they withdraw from village to village, and they have now surrendered some thirty, are not shortening, but lengthening their lines It requires more men to hold the pres- ent front than it did to hold the front attacked two months ago. The French and the British are slowly pushing into the German position and they have now widened their original wedge so much that the earlier German advantage, that of being able to direct a converg- ing fire at the allied troops in the wedge, has passed away. Again, while the Germans have plenty of time to construct new lines behind the old, they cannot construct lines comparable with those that have been lost, in the limited time at their dis- posal and under the searching fire of the enemy. The French did put a new line in at Verdun, but it was the most expensive portion of their defense and it was done in a country which lent it- self naturally to defense, as the Somme country does not. Thus it is fair to as- sume that the considerable advances of Foch have been due to the fact that the more recent German lines have crumbled more easily and quickly under heavy artillery’ fire than did the origi- nal trenches. All of which emphasizes the fact that sooner or later the Germans will have either to adopt a new policy or accept the situation and go back to the French frontier from Mezieres to Conde, or to the line of the Meuse, with a Bel- gian front before Namur, Brussels and Antwerp. A change of policy would mean a passing to the offensive, the concentration of men and guns on the Somme front and the sacrifice of very large numbers in a new effort. This may happen, it may happen on the Somme front, or it may be that the Germans will make their effort else- where, before Nancy, for example. But the reason this seems unlikely is that terrific demands are being made on Ger- many for men just how and for men to be used jin the East. Verdun cost the Germans not less than 500,000 men, the Somme has cost another 150,000 and the Russian operations in the East at least a further 100,000. In the same time Austria has lost in Galicia and on the Italian front not less than 400,000 in prisoners and not less than 350,000 in casualties, in sum 750,000 men. Have Lost Heavily.

Simonds. few days, signs, which, without being indication that the first western lines by retiring is the marked dimunition that 200,000 Greeks will appear at any moment in the Balkan line. And it is this new Rumanian demand that makes a German offensive in France exceed- ingly unlikely. At the moment the Ru- manian advance into Hungary is going forward rapidly, the Russian advance in Galicia has been resumed with con- siderable success and the allied threat at Bulgaria through Macedonia is un- wistakable. Finally, the Somme opera- tion is not only continuing, but palpably getting new force. Conceivably the Germans have the men to hold on everywhere until the end of the season. It is unlikely, but it is just possible: Then they are bound to make a new bid for peace, which will fill the world and have very in- teresting echoes here in the United States, where the machinery is veing crganized at this very moment. Such a peace will not be based on the “war map” of Europe, but on the peace map of July, 1914. We have covered @ good deal of ground since last May. But if Germany cannot hold on until fall on all fronts, then she must shorten her Western front, because it is the front from which she can most easily draw men and it is the only front on which she is entirely upon enemy terri- tory. It is small comfort for the Hun- garians, for example, when Transyl- vania cities are falling rapidly, that Germans still hold Lille and St. Quen- tin. It is little solace to the Austrians that, when the Italians have got Gorizia and are nearing Trieste, when Lemberg is again in peril, that Antwerp and Brussels are under German rule. And the Bulgarians, whose loyalty is vital to central Power purposes, will hardly be prepared to give up their own terri- tory and Macedonian villages while Germany is using twice as many men to defend the Western front as would be required if she would shorten the line. Finally, it is a secret nowhere that Hindenburg has always looked upon the East as the decisive field, that he regarded with extreme disfavor the use of all available German reserves in the campaign in Belgium and toward Calais in October and November, 1914, and the equally costly operation before Verdun this year. One or two of the corps that were sacrificed at Ypres would have en- abled him to take Warsaw in October, 1914; Russian successes in Volhynia and Galicia would not have come this year, if the troops sacrificed at Verdun had been available. May Withdraw Soon. We have manifestly come about to the time when Germany must shorten her lines. To retire from the Dwina and the Beresina to the Nieman and the Vistula would release some troops, but it might involve the abandonment of much of Galicia and it would not set free anything like the men that would be available if the Western lines were shortened. tion that we may see at any time now the first great change in the Western lines since the original German pur- pose was totally defeated at the Marne and the effort to resume a campaign in France checked from the Oise to the North Sea. Actually, on the second an- niversary of the battle of the Marne, its real meaning is at last becoming clear and the magniture of German defeat in that conflict is being disclosed. Nor is it outside the bounds of ordi- nary hazard to risk the guess that be- fore snow flies the German lines will have been contracted in - Northern France and all but a thin paring of French territory west of the Meuse wil: have been “redeemed.”’ French Wine Crop Double Last Year's.

Harry G. Clymer was an'eager and responsive pupil. Pat- rick F. Cook was decalcitrant. The Mayor, looking hard at Cook, be- gan the jJesson by saying the old board had been guilty of introducing a lot of technicalities. For one thing, the board asked district assessors where an ob- scure street was, when everybody knew that the best way to find a street was to get a map. ‘You got an appointee in such a state of mind,’’ the Mayor said, “that he didn’t know where he was at. You scared him to death.”’ : Cook replied that in doing that and that in conducting the business of the board in general the members foltowde the charter provisions. Political Indorsements, “lg an appointee came to you with a political indorsement,’’ the Mayor said, ‘vou turned him down.” Cook denied it. ‘‘Well, Rogers did,’’ said the Mayor. “He told them they needn’t show their political indorse- ments.”’ Clymer said that if an applicant came with the indorcement of a committee- man, Rogers struck out the word com- mitteeman. “That should not have made any dif- ference to the applicant if the examina- tion was honest and fair, as it was,” said Cook. ‘‘What we did was in ac- cord with the charter and our oath of office.’”’ ‘This oats of office business,’’ began Mayor Kiel, “has come to a point’—— He did not finish the sentence. “The appointing officials and the board,’’ he resumed, ‘“‘were out of har- mony.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 8—Indications at Republican national headquarters in this city are that Col. Roosevelt has de- cided to take personal charge of the Hughes campaign. The Colonel will not, his friends explain, take a desk at the committee headquarters and discuss from day to day the campaign develop- ments with the Hughes lieutenants, but his views and his wishes will play a most important part in the campaign management. John McGrath, Roosevelt's private secretary, has been at Republican head- quarters since shortly after the com- mittee moved to the Hotel Astor. The Colonel sent for Frank H. Hitch- cock, former chairman of the National Committee, and George W. Perkins, former Progressive leader, &nd keeper of the check book, and they took lunch- eon with him at Sagamore Hill. On their return tu the Hughes headquarters there was more activity than has ever before been seen there. They told the Colonel his Maine speech had been a great success and in the Middle West, especially, it had been pronounced the first “‘real stuff.’’ The Colonel was urged to make more speeches, He will speak in Battle Creek on Sept. 30 and in other cities before election day. National Chairman Wilcox will go to Oyster Bay today, with Hitchcock and Perkins, and also Everett Colby, State Chairman Herbert Parsons, H. D. Esta- brook, Alvah H. Martin, Raymond Rob- ins and other Hughes managers. Their immediate errand is to share with the Colonel roles~in' a movie thriller which will be shown all over the country, picturing the story of T. R.’s desire for the election of Hughes. If the Republicans sweep Maine o Monday it was explained yesterday, a fight for Hughes will be made in all the states. If the result proves. close, and especially if the Democrats carry the State, the Republican managers wilil concenfrate on a few of the important’ doubtful states. U. $.

CHICAGO PRNATE BANK FAILS; 32ND IV LAST 4 YEARS Banker Arrested in Grand Rap- ids, Mich., After Flight With Institution’s Books. CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—Depositors of the private bank of John A. Krzywoszewiski who was arrested last night in Grand Rapids, Mich., on a charge of embezzle- ment, will apply for a receivership to- day. Police did not discover the con- dition of the bank until two weeks. after the president had fled. The books of the institution were taken by the bank- er and the amount of loss to the de- positors has not been determined. The failure, following the wrecking of two private banks controlled by Max Silver, who is still a fugitive, has aroused a public demand for better reg- ulation of private banks. A letter to a neighbor betrayed the hiding place of Krzywoszewiski in Grand Rapids. Krzywoszewiski started in the bank- ing business three years ago and soon afterwards opened in the same office a real estate business, a steamship ticket agency and a labor employment bu- reau. Peter Trojanowsky was the depositor who swore out the warrant for the ar- rest of the banker, charging larceny of his deposit of $400. Krzywoszewiski will be brought back to Chicago today. His institution is the thirty-second private bank in Chicago to fail since 1912, according. to the po- lice. It had approximately $15,000 be- longing to Polish residents of the neigh- borhood.

"Formerly M ilford's 4TH CONGRESS Acts Passed to Strengthen Army and Navy and Big Railroad Strike Prevented. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The first ses- sion of the Sixty-fourth Congress, which adjourned today, was concerned chiefly with national defense. When the gavel fell, Congress had di- rected reorganization and re-equipment of the army and navy for defense of tne country, at the unprecedented cost of $655,000,000, with authorizations that will increase the total in three years to nearly $800,000,000. With all other ex- penditures, appropriations were brought to the grand total of $1,637,583,682, the greatest aggregate in the county’s his- tory and exceeding that for the last fiscal year by more than half a billion dollars. Expenditures, necessitated by prepar- edness and the calling into action of military forces to meet the Mexican emergency, demanded revenue legisla- | ‘tion in the closing days of the session. Congress responded by doubling the nor- mal tax on incomes, creating an inher- itance tax, munitions tax and miscel- laneous excise taxes to raise $205,000,000 and by directing sale of $130,000,000 Pan- e ama Canal bonds. a Tariff Commission. ' Congress established a tariff commis- sion; a Government shipping board to rehabilitate the American merchant ma- rine; a workmen’s compensation com- mission to administer a new uniform compensation law; a farm loan banking system; a child labor law; enlarged the +system of self-government in the Phil- rippines and enacted many other impor- tant laws which had been contemplated by the administration. The session was disturbed UE i by frequently recurring threats of for- eign complications from the European war and imminence at one time of a dip- lomatic break with Germany; interfer- ence with American mails and com- merce, invasion of American soil and killing of Americans by Mexican ban- dits, and danger of actual war with Mexico. The crisis in Congress over the in- ternational situation followed Germany’s naval order to sink armed belligerent merakhant ships without warning. In- troduction of resolutions warning Amer- icans to keep off armed merchantmen caused President Wilson to halt diplo- matic negotiations and go to the-cap- itol to demand a “showdown.” The re- sult was the tabling of the Gore reso- lution in the Serfate by a vote of 68 to 14, on March 3, and of the McLemore res- olution in the House by a vote of 276 to 142 on March 7. Immediately after- ward the President sent to Germany and read to Congress a note threatening to sever diplomatic relations unless the German Government ‘immediately ef- fected a modification of its methods of submarine warfare.”’ Later in the session trouble arose in the Senate over the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis of Boston to succeed the late Justice Lamar as a member of the Supreme Court. Weeks of investigation and deliberation by the Judiciary Com- mittee ended in confirmation of Bran- deis by a large majority. Great Strike Prevented. In the week before adjournment Con- gress was occupied with legislation which prevented a threatened nation- wide railroad strike. President Wilson, after futile negotiations with officials of the railroads and railroad brother- hoods, submitted the controversy to Con- gress, recommending legislation to avert the strike and to prevent such emer- gencies from arising in the future. After a week of consideration, dur. ing which the President visited the capitol daily, conferring with admin- istration leaders, a bill was passed to establish an eight-hour day as a ba- sis for pay of railroad workers, the present rate of pay for 10 hours’ work not to be reduced and the men to receive prorata pay for work in excess of eight hours, pending an investigation by a special commission into the effect of the eight-hour day on railroad revenues. Important Enactments, Most itmportant legislative enact- ments of the session, exclusive of laws for national defense, included the following: Government Ship Law: Appropriat- ing $50,000,000 to operate ships in for. eign and coastwise trade when un- able to lease them to tndividuals or private corporations. Child Labor Law: Denying inter- state commerce to products of mines and quarries employing children un- der 16 years of age, and factories, mills, canneries and other establish- ments employing children under 14 years. Rural Credits Law: Establishing a I’'arm Loan Board in control of a sys- tem of farm loan mortgage bank. Workmen’s Compensation Law: Providing uniform sick and accident beenfits for employes of the Federal Government, and benefits to depen- | dents in case of death. Emergency Revenue Law: Provid- ing for doubling the normal income tax on the lowest class; making an addi. tional surtax ranging from 1 per cent on that portion of incomes exceeding $20,000 to 138 per cent on amount of incomes in excess of $2,000,000; levy- ing a graduated tax of 1 to 10 per cent on inheritances ranging from $60,000 to $5,000,000; a 10 per cent net profit tax on manufacturers of munitions, 5 per cent net profit tax on manufac- turers of materials entering into mu- nitions; a license tax on actually in- vested capital stock of corporations capitalized at more than $99,000: wine, beer and liquor excise taxes and miscellaneous stamp taxes. Reads and Postal Savings, Good Roads Low: Providing for co. } operative Feflieral aid to the states } for construction of highways, and ap- propriating $75,000,000 to be spent in five years. Postal savings law: Amendment in- directors of not more than two other non-competing banks; amendments per- mitting national banks to establish for- eign branches, liberalizing regulations for discounting commercial paper and permitting member banks in towns of 5000 or less population to act as agents for insurance companies. Railroad legislation: Creation of. a joint subcommittee of Senate and House Interstate Commerce Committees to in- vestigate necessity for further legisla- tion for railroads and the Interstate Commerce Commission, question of Gov- ernment ownership of public utilities and comparative worth of Government own- ership as against Government regula- eig.1 market prices; authorization for the President to retaliate against foreign na- tions prohibiting importation of’ goojs from the United States by laying an embargo against imports from offend- ing nations. Cotton futures: Providing a prohibi- tive tax on cotton sold for future de- livery in fictitious or wash sales. Philippines: Law to provide for a more autonomous Government of the islands, enlarging self-government, re- organizing election laws, establishing an elective Senate and promising independ- ence whenever, in the judgment of the United States the Philippine people de)- onstrate capability for it.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —————— BRITISH OFFICER TELLS OF BOMBING RAD ON GERMANS More Than 20 Teutons Killed in Sap Trench 50 Yards in Ad- vance of Their Lines. Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Aug. 15.—A British officer, serving in France, writes to a wounded comrade in a London hospital of a bombing raid he conducted. The only damage suffered by this daring party, he says, was that done to his raincoat 2s he climbed the trenches on his return. His story follows: It happened like this: I was looking out from what was a little sheltered spot alongside the entrance to what we call Stinking Sap, through a very fine new telescope someone had sent to our com- manding officer, when suddenly I spied a shovel sticking up against a little mound, and close to it was a gap in, the wet grass. I stared jolly hard, and presently the whole thing became clear to me. The Bosches had run out a new sap fully 50 yards from their fire trench, which at thie point is over 250 yards from ours. It was right opposite our Stinking Sap, and not more than 100 yards from the head of it. I walked round to company headquar- ters and informed the commanding offi- cer, who was delighted. I decided to take Corporal Slade with me, because he’s such a fine bomb-thrower, besides being as cool as a cucumber. I also agreed to take one other man from my own platoon and one man from each of the other three platoons. Watiting in Shell Hole. The commanding officer's idea was that we must reach that she!l hole close ] ble after dark and before the Boches | resumed work there. As it turned out, we were all iying in the shell hole for three-quarters of an hour before a single Boche made a move. There was a fine rain all the time and it was pitch dark. We lay perfectly still and flat, hands covered and faces down. By and by Slade gave a little tug at my jerkin. I listened hard and just made out footsteps. u'wo or three min- utes later six or eight Boches came shuffling along the sap, carrying picks and shovels and jabbering away 19 to the dozen. I gave the signal with my left hand. There was a bomb in my right. I could distinctly hear the safe- ty pins come out of our six bombs and could even hear the breathed murmur of the man at my shoulder—a pugnacious draper. ‘“‘A hundred an’ one, a hundred an’ two, a hundred an’ three’ (he was timing the fuse of his bomb, exactly as I'd told them). And then they all let go. Our six bombs landed, one on the edge of the other five, plumb in the saphead before us, right in the middle of the six or eight Boches digging there. Two sec- onds after they*left our hands they did their job. And when the rending row was over we heard only one Boche moaning, so I knew that at least six or geven would “strafe’’ no more English- men. We again lay absolutely still while Fritz rained parachute lights, stars, flares and every kind of fireworks, and, just as I had expectea swept his sap- head with at least a thousand rounds of machine-gun bullets, not one of which s0 much as grazed us, where we lay in the mud of that shell hole. Another Detachment Arrives. “Get your bombs ready, lads,”’ I told my fellows. A few seconds later we heard the Boches streaming along their narrow new sap. They took it for grant- ed we had cleared back to our line, and they made no attempt to disguise their coming. We waited until the near end of the sap was full and then we gave ‘em our second volley, followed immedli- ately by a third. It must have been a reguiar shambles. A few seconds later we heard a fresh lot start on their wav down the sap, and the draper and I let ‘em have our last two bombs well to the left, and ourselves made tracks like to the new Boche sap as soon as possi-! greased lightning for Stinking Sap.

Met: % a + luck held perfectly, and Slade was haul- ing the draper over the parapet of Stinking Gap before a sound came from the Boche machine guns. And then, by Jove, they opened on us. They holed my oilskin coat for me, as I slid in, and spoiled it. But not one of my crowd got a scratch, and we reckon to have ac- counted for, at the very least, 20 Boches, maybe twice that number. Altogether a splendid job. And the best of it is, our artillery has registered on that sap this morning, and this afternoon is just about going to blow it across thé Rhine.

BANGOR, Me., Sept. 8—The gaunt and gray-haired fifer in the famous painting, ‘“‘The Spirit of ‘76’ was an ancestor of Mrs. Emma Lowell Smith of 334 Ohio street, who for many years owned the fife that he played in the Revolution, and only a few weeks ago gave it to her brother, George Lowell of 427 East 1424 street, New York. Mrs. Smith’s Revolutionary ancestor was John Cheney, and she is his great-great- granddaughter. The fife has been in Mrs. Smith’s family for 70 years, she receiving it from her cousin, who was a Mrs. Ryder of Brewer, Me. Upon the death of Lowell, its present possessor, the fife is to go to his son, James Russell Lowell, who is with a national guard regiment on the Mexican frontier. This young man is named for the poet and one-time Ambassador to | England, James Russell Lowell, who was a cousin of George Lowell's father. The fife is made of some hard, white wood, like locust, and is tipped with brass. Its note is as shrill and clear as it was when sounded at Bunker Hill, one of the many battles in which its original owner took part. The Eternal Question: ‘What shall I wear to be in style?” will be answered in the Style Week ad- vertisements in the Post-Dispatch, Sun- day, Sept. 10. , KAISER FELICITATES BULGARS BERLIN, via London, Sept. 8.—The Emperor has sent the following tele- gram to the King of Bulgaria, it is of- ficially announced: “T have learned that the allied troops have captured the fortress of Tutrakan (Turtukai).

The Democratic State Committee is still at work trying to get President Wilson to consent to make a political speech on his visit to St. Louis Sept. 19 and 2.

Sen- ator James was permanent chairman of the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis last June, and his speech on taking the chair made a hit with the Missouri Democrats. He is scheduled to make several speeches in the State. The Democrats and Republicans are both trying to capture the Progressive vote of Missouri. The Republicans are making a very strong bid for Progres- sive support, and the former Progres- sive leaders are receiving special invi- tations to every Republican function. Some of the Progressive leaders have received hints that they might be al- lowed to hold office again as Repub- licans tf they would line up with the party and help elect the Republican ticket. Gibson Is for Hughes. Julian M. Gibson, chairman of the Progressive City Committee, said today that he had not yet affiliated himself with any party, but that he expected to support Hughes for President. He said that he believed most of the Pro- gressive leaders of St. Louis would sup- port Hughes, while most of the State leaders would support Wilson. “While I am not very enthusiastic about Hughes, I expect to support him actively,” Gibson said. “I was invited to the Business Men’s League luncheon to hear Hughes and received a vice president’s badge to attend the Coliseum meeting. You may understand my in- terest in the matter when I say that I did not attend either, having another engagement.” “But I cannot support Wilson, be- cause I could not feel that I could de- pend upon him. While he might stand for something today that pleases mé, he has changed his mind so many times that I could have no assurance that in a year from now he would stand for anything that I am for.” Fall Style Week Begins Sunday.

If you want to get a laugh out of Miller Huggins, the Cincinnati land- lord and capitalist, merely expound the theory that It’s a sure giggle getter.

Another fea- ture was a pretty butterfly dance by four children in appropriate costume. Thy were Katherine Nicholas, Stella Grea- non, Angelo Mosconi and Bernadine Bear- told. The refreshment booth, which added a substantia! sum to the proceeds, was under the direction of Bonnie Jein Wilson and Virginia and Celeste Weir. More than 100 persons attended and the financial outcome was $5.10. Those who had part in the carnival, all of whom live on Kennerly avenue, were: Katherine Nicholas, 3939; Stella Grennon, 3953; Angelo Mosconi, 3¥v4; Bernadine Bartold, 3960; Bonnie Jeun Wilson, 3934; Celeste and Virginia Weir, 3932, and Marie Dolan, 3943.

SENATE APPROVES TREATY TO BUY DANISH ISLANDS State Department Immediately No- tifies Foreign Government of the Action. WASHINGTON, Sept. §.—In accord- ance with diplomatic custom, the State Department today formally notified the Danish Government of ratification by the Senate of the treaty for American pur- chase of the Danish West Indies. Of- ficials feel that prospects of its accep- tance by the upper house of the Danish Parliament is enhanced by the prompt action of the Senate. The action of the Senate last night came almost simultaneously with the appointment by the Danish Parlia- ment of a committee to consider the negotiations for the sale of the islands to the United States. The treaty provides for the purchase of the Danish West Indies for $25,000,000. Senator Norris sought ineffectually to amend the treaty so as to make the pur- chase price $10,000,000. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 8—The pro- posal of the conservative party for the ‘appointment ef a parliamentary com- mittee of 30 members to consider the ne- gotiations for the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States was agreed to last night by the representa- tives of the various parties in the Rigs- dag, after a lengthy meeting. The rep- resentatives also agreed to the conservu- tive proposal for a plebescite under the new Constitution when the committee makes its report.

ROME, Sept. 8.—Railroad freights in Italy have been raised 10 per cent. It is estimated that by this action the Gov- ernment railroad revenues will be in- creased $3,000,000 annually. The object in raising the rates was to obtain money to pay the extra wages of the railway employes totaling $4,000,000, which were granted recently after complaints by the men of the high cost of living and the extra work entailed by reason of the war.

BELLEVILLE MAYOR IN FIST FIGHT WITH AN ATTORNEY Meet in Newspaper Office Where Each Had Gone to Give Inter- view About Water Rates. Mayor R. E. Duvall of Belleville and Clyde Miller, an East St. Louis attor- Jney, met yesterday in a Belleville news- paper office, where each had gone to have a piece put in the paper about wa- ter rates. Instead of telling the editor What they thought about water rates they told each. other what they thought of each other finished up with a fist fight. They Were separated by the editor after Miller had hit the Mayor in the nose. Ill feeiing between the men grew out of complaints filed by the City of Belle- ville, represented by Mayor Duvall, and the West Side Improvement Association, represented by Miller, with the Lllinois State Public Utilities Commission. May- or Duvall effected a compromise which was not satisfactory to Miller and mem- bers of the improvement association and a second complaint was filed. Charges that the improvement associa- tion was ‘“‘thrown down’’ by Mayor Du- vall were made, and Miller and the May- or have had several verbal clashes. No court action has been taken as a result of yesterday’s encounter. J, H. VETTE’S DAUGHTER MARRIES Meise Bride of Henry Lohmann. It became known today that Mrs. Lil- lie M. Meise, widow of Harry W. Meise, who has been living. with her father, J. H. Vette, at 3120 Hawthorne boule- vard, was married last week to Henry Lohmann, vice president of the James Stewart Construction Co. Mrs. Meise’s relatives had known for some time that she and Lohmann were to be married. but they had not told their friends. They went to Clayton Friday and obtained a license and were married that evening by a South St. Louis minister who is an old friend of Lohmann, and left the same night for New York, where Lohmann is to have charge of the firm’s headquarters. He is a widower with two children. ee HAIR OFTEN RUINED BY WASHING WITH SOAP Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any- thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, ereamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy; it’s very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- ber of the family for months.—ADV. nt rn, NUXATED a Mrs. Lillie M.

An increase of $2,175,995 in the tax as- sessments on the Illinois end of the Eads, McKinley and Merchants bridges was ordered today by the Boards of Review of St. Clair and Madison coun- ties. The assessments on the _ three bridges for this year total $5,796,000 The assessment on Eads Bridge was increased from $2,500,000 to $3,150,000; on McKinley Bridge from $420,000 to $1,086,- 00, and on Merchants Bridge from $700,- 005 to $1,560,000. The tax paid on Eads Bridge last year was $72,497, and if the same tax prevails this year the tax will be $91,350, an increase of $18,853. Last year the East St. Louis tax rate was $8.70 on the $100 valuation. The new rate wili be fixed in November. The actual taxa- tion is based on one-third of the assess- ment. Based on last year’s tax rate the Merchants Bridge will have to pay $14,- , 631 additional taxes, and the McKinley Bridge $8178. This is a total increase, on the three bridges, of $41,662 in taxes. The increased assessments on the Mer- chants and McKinley bridges were made by the Madison Caunty Board of Tax Assessment Review, and completed an- other chapter in a situation which al- ready has cost some men their political berths, and which may cost some more in the primary to be held next week. Reduced by One Board. The 1915 board reduced the bridge as- sessments, and at the same time in- creased the individual assessments on several thousand farms and small homes throughout the county. This brought thousands of protests from taxpayers and resulted in the over- whelming defeat, last spring, of C. H. Kunnemann of Granite City, in his can- didacy for re-election as Republican precinct committeeman in Nameoki Township, Kunnemann had been County Recorder of Deeds and was vice chair- man of the Republican County Commit- tee when he was beaten for committee- man by a farm worker who never had been in politics before. Kunnemann, as a member of the 1915 Board of Review, voted to reduce the McKinley Bridge assessment from $1,- 086,000 to $420,000, and the Merchants’ Bridge assessment from $1,500,000 to $700, - 0O’'5. Henry O. Tonsor of Alton voted with Kunnemann, and Fred Henke chairman of the board, voted against the reductions. Joseph Krill, Assessor of Venice Township, had fixed the bridge assessments at $1,500,000 for the Merchants’ Bridge and ” 086,000 for Mc- Kinley Bridge. Took Companies’ The action of Kunnemann and Tonsor was taken after representatives of the bridge companies had appeared before the board and were asked what they thought the assessments’ should be. Kunnemann and Tonsor accepted the companies’ own figures on the bridge values. A general demand was made for more equitable revision of the bridge assess- ments. James M. Bandy of Granite City, State’s Attorney of Madison Coun- ty, rendered a decision that the present board could not change the figure fixed by the 1915 board. The Attorney-General of Illinois rendered an opinion that they could if they wished, and the action an- nounced today is based upon this opin- ion. Figures, Woman Awakened by Fire.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Miss Winifred De Wolfe, a dancer, 20 years old, sought by the secret service forces of three nations more than four months, has been found in Kansas City, Mo., according to information received here yesterday and telegraphed to her mother in San Francisco by a lawyer. Miss De Wolfe, a niece of Miss Elsie De Wolfe, former actress, disappeared from this city April 26. Mrs. Edgar De Wolfe, her mother, appealed to Senator Phelan of California, an old friend, to aid in the search for her daughter. The Senator, with the help of Senator O’Gor- man of New York, obtained the assist- ance of the Department of Justice and the Federal secret service.

MAN SAYS $2500 WAS PRICE OF MAYORSHIP OF LOS ANGELES Grand Jury to Investigate Former Candidate’s Statement That He Was Offered Appointment for That Sum, LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 8.—An investigation by the county grand jury of a statement by Frederick J. Whiffen, wealthy former President of the Los Angeles City Council, that he had been approached with an offer of the appointment of Mayor of Los Angeles “if he would pay $2500,” has been ordered by Thomas Lee Wool- wine, District Attorney. Whiffen was the opponent at the municipal election last June. of for- mer Mayor Charles FE. Sebastian, whose resignation, assigning ill health as the cause, was accepted last Saturday by the City Council. Frederick T. Woodman, President of the Board of Harbor Commission- ers, was selected Tuesday as Mayor by the City Council. The District Attorney gave out a statement made by Whiffen in which Whiffen said he was approached once on Monday and again on Tues- day by a man who, he said, “offered to guarantee his appointment as Mayor if he would pay $2500 and let the people he represented name the Chief of Police.” TRANSFER COMPANY WILL NOT CALL FOR PARK VIEW BAGGAGE Rule Compels Wagons to Drive Alleys and This Company Re- fuses to Have Done. The St. Louis Transfer Co. has de- clared a strike against Park View, a pri- vate residence section running west from Sk nKer road and will neither carry bag- gage to the residents nor go for it when those living there desire to travel. Residents there who wished to make fall trips and*who called the company to do their hauling were informed that they would have to seek elsewhere. This caused annoyance, as the St. Louis Transfer Co. has the exclusive privilege at the Union Station of checking bag- gage from the traveler’s residence. Recently the trustees of Park View issued an order that the express wag- ons would have to drive in the alleys and the transfer company declared that if their wagons could not call at the front of the homes they would not call at all.

BONUS TO EDWARDS IS UPHELD Court Rules $50,000 Paid to Him by Bank Was Not Misuse of Funds, Judge Sanborn of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, upholding Judge Dyer in the District Court, de- cided yesterday at Denver, that the National Bank of Commerce need not take steps to recover the $50,000 paid to Ben F.. Edwards when he resigned the presidency of the bank April 24, 1913. The suit, brought by Charles G. Heinz, charged the payment was with- out consideration and was misuse of stockholders’ money. Judge Sanborn holds that Edwards’ agreement to stay out of the banking business until the end of 1914 was a consideration.

JACKSONVILLE, Fila., Sept. 8—A body found in a creek, near here yes- terday, is believed to be that of Miss A. King of Detroit, who disappeared from a hotel here Monday. Miss King is said to have been a vis- itor at various Florida points during the summer and bore the appearance of a woman of means. She came here last week and on Monday her absence was considerable money. Efforts relatives were unsuccessful. noted.

On Sept. 10, 1915, the contract was let to the Webb-Kunze Construction Co., with the proviso that the work should be completed by May 24, 1916. Orders to begin the improvement were given to the contractor on Oct. 20, 1915. President Kinsey of the Board of Pub- lic Service told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the delay was extraordinary, but that the west side of the street is almost wholly paved and will be in use in a few weeks. Long stretches of wet weather last spring, during which grading was impossible, the difficulty of obtaining labor and the contractor’s attempt to perform other work in other parts of the city at the same time, are given by President Kinsey as reasons for the slowness with which the improvement has been made. Several Extensions Given. Under the conditions of the contract penalties of $5 each day of delay after May 24 would have been collectible from the contractor, but these have been waived by the city. The period for com- pletion of the work has been extended from time to time on the contractor’s representation that tlre delays were be- yond his control. While Skinker road remains unfin- ished, the Department of Streets and Sewers, Director Talbert says, is unable to pave the ‘“cut-off’’ between Clayton road and the southwest entrance of For- est Park. First the grading of Skinker road and lately the hauling of materials inter- fered with his work, Director Talbert explains. This new roadway is about 1000 feet long. It was donated by John D Davis, who stipulated that if the city accepted the property he should not be taxed for the improvement. i The Street Department is doing the work out of its fundst.for repairs and maintenance. No special tax bills have been issued. Will Be Paved With Wood. Skinker road will be paved with wood blocks. In the center will be a series cof planting spaces, on each side of whi¢h will be a 30-foot roadway. The cost of the work will be $84,712.50. If the United Railways Co. builds a line on Skinker road the tracks will occupy the park- ing space so as to obviate the removal or the paving. The company has been ordered by the State Public Service Commission to con- struct an additional cross-town line. The new roadway between the park | included in the equipment of two trains, and Clayton road will be paved with bi- tuminous macadam or “penetration”’ | asphalt, like the drives in Forest Park, | accordingly as tests indicate which | the more durable.

The public is not overburdened paying anything ‘but dividends on watered stock. Squeeze out the water and stop speculation or stock gambling and ell roads will be out of receivership and paying ANYTHING TO BEAT WILSON. At last the Republican party has got an issue. It is the settlement of the strike. Following the vague hints of candidate Hughes, the Globe-Dem- ocrat shrieks about the cowardice of President Wilson and Congress tn passing the Adamson bill. It raves about “compulsion,” the sacrfice of the “dignity and honor of the nation,” the burial of the head of the American eagle in the sand, etc. Nothing could be more absurd than the Globe- Democrat’s assumption of compulsion to do this thing, regardless of right or wrong, except its amusing comparison of congressional] action to avert a railroad strike with action to avert a strike of butchers or farmers. This is the finest sample of logic we have seen in a partisan news- paper. However, we have not the slightest doubt if the butchers combined to deprive the people of the United States of meat or the the farmers com- bined to deprive them of grain that Congress would act vigorously and effectively to keep the people from starving. If it didn’t act we would like to hear the Globe-Democrat shriek. It would be an experience. If the President had not acted in this case; if the strike had taken place with an embargo on all traffic the shrieks from the partisan organs and antilabor interests that are now howling about the cowardice of the President would have been deafening. In three days they would have wanted to mob the President and Con- gress for not taking action. When the embargo was declared the railroads, whose heads realized that they could not run their roads with the strike on; the business men and business organizations who bombarded the Presi- dent with telegrams urging aim to support the railroads, flooded the President and the Congress with telegrams urging them to avert or postpone the strike. If the strike had occurred the flood of telegrams calling for governmental, action would have been a Niagara in a week. Arbitration had failed, mediation had failed and the strike had been ordered before the President went to Congress with a program of legislation to avert it and settle all railroad labor controver- sies. He went with the plan he had decided was just before the strike was ordered—the plan he had offered both parties to the controversy as just, which had been accepted by the men andg rejected by the railroads. After a strike like that with which the country was threatened has been averted it is easy to intimate that it would not have occurred or would not have amounted to much; it is easy when its disastrous consequences have been escaped to criticize the method of escape; to attack the men who took vigorous, swift action to save the public from the consequences. This is the easiest thing in the world. Of course, President Wilson did an unpardon- able thing from the standpoint of the Old Guard when he failed to humble himself before the rail- road heads and do their bidding; when he failed to call in the Wall street magnates and ask them to save the country at any price. He did an unpardonable thing when, recognizing Congress as the supreme power in the country, he called upon it to take action to save the country without the aid of the big interests. In the Roosevelt panic of 1907, when stocks were crashing down, bankers were failing and money was locked up in strong boxes, President Roosevelt turned over the treasury to Pierpont Morgan and gave him a permit to violate the anti- trust laws in order to save the country. He de- fended his surrender of the Government’s power on the ground that it was necessary and he boast- ed of it as an act of a man of courage and re- source. Republican organs defended his action.

Out of its dalibera- tions we may hopefully expect not merely a set- tlement of difficulties between the United States and Mexico but an understanding as to meas- ures that will put Mexico upon its feet politically, financially and economically. = = * i i A MILLION A WEEE. Henry Ford is estimated to be making a million a week—a million dollars; not automobiles. Not many of us are doing so well. Yet Mr. Ford's wealth excites no envy to speak of. He is an ex- ceptional millionaire in that nobody begrudges him what he makes—the more the merrier. He seems to care very little for the money itself, which indifference has engendered a like public indifference to it. Yet he is an exceptionally enviable multimillion- aire, as multimillionaires go in this country. Most of our “big rich’ men are ill-paid at best for their trouble and energy in getting rich, and the trouble and worry consequent upon that state— while the little they have is begrudged them. The entailed annoyances of a million a week to the av- erage poor multimillionaire are as numerous and persistent as the flies that buzz around a molasses barrel which cannot be swatted, while the grave and sober cares consequent upon imponderable but tumultuous millions are greater than a King’s. Nobody sympathjges with the poor multimillion- aire even when his money-making processes wreck his health or grind the very life out of him. The Happy Valley of Rasselas is not and never ‘as peopled by multimillionaires, and the maker of jitneys is fortunate to be as familiar with the val- ley’s landscape as the people who ride in them. =_— = a oe No municipal door should be open to ineffi- ciency. = = * i i A NOVEL ANTI-STRIKE WEAPON. It appears that one of the chief causes of the present big traction strike in New York is the adoption, by the Interborough Company, of a new method of trying to prevent unionization of employes. This ig by presenting each individual worker with a form of contract between himself and the company. The Interborough claims that, of the 11,000 men in subordinate positions on its lines, 8500 have signed these individual contracts and that if these men go out on strike the mat- ter will be taken into court, as “the right to make a contract is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.” He says that, under the cir- cumstances, there is nothing to arbitrate. Let Mr. Shonts put himself for a moment in the position of one of these 11,000 men in subor- dinate positions, What would he do if the com- pany presented him with a blank contract and the boss directly over him told him to sign it or “get his time?” He would probably sign it, in order to keep his job. But what have the courts held with regard to contracts made under duress? There used to be a clause, on the back of rail- road passes, releasing the railroad company from all responsibility for injury to the passenger using the pass. When signed it was a-contract, but the courts did not uphold it. . i HUNGER VERSUS APPETITE. The first communication sent to the’ German army, since the accession of Von Hindenburg vice Von Falkenhayn, deals with “economy,” hither- to mainly restricted to the civilian population.
