VOLUME XXXIII, NO. 41. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1916. SOLDIERS KILLEQ INSTANTLY. That the accident last Monday morning at Acca Station, resulting in the deaths of Privates Henry G. Gooch and W. F. Meade, of Troop D. First Virginia Calvary, was due entirely to the confusion of the young men when they stepped in the path of southbound Atlantic Coast Line train No. 61, and not to any untoward personal condition was the conclusion of a military board appointed by Lieutenant-Colonel Salamonky, commanding officer at Camp Stuart, to investigate the tragedy. Both young men were of exemplary habits, and had started from the Meade home in Alexandria in a perfectly sober condition, according to evidence adduced before the board. That they reached Acca in this condition was the testimony of a number of persons who saw them before and after arrival. The mangled bodies of the victims were found on either side of the south-bound main line by the crew of a yard engine. Meade's handbag, the leather side of which had been ripped open by the force with which it had been hurled against the ground, was found some distance from his body, white Gooch's hat was found about twenty feet from his body. Meade and Gooch, with Private McNabb and Carson of O Troop, had been to Alexandria, where Meade's parents reside. They were due to return to Camp Henry C. Stuart Sunday morning, but did not arrive here until 12:20 Monday morning, coming on the Seaboard Air Line train which reaches Acca at that time. When a stop was made to change engines the troopers alighted and started a walk to the camp, about a mile across country. Carson and McNabb went into the fields immediately, but Meade and Gooch evidently lingered on the tracks a short time before starting. At this time the train on which they had returned to Richmond was just leaving Acca, and had started the heavy pull up the incline which leads to the Seaboard, tracks. At 12:25 o'clock the Atlantic Coast Line train No. 61 is due. This train evidently was on time, and, gliding down the grade of the yards on the tracks of the Richmond, Frederick'sburg and Potomac Railroad, it swept on the unsuspecting boys before they knew of its presence. The noise made by the other train is thought to have drowned its approach. Train No. 61 makes no stop in the yards, and generally goes through them at high speed. The engineer, Tom Brown, did not see the boys, and nothing was known of the accident until the train arrived at Byrd Street Station. There a railroad employee found a portion of Meade's hat on the pilot of the engine. The yard office at Acca was notified, and the yard engine sent back with orders to proceed until the victim was found. Officials of the railroad potted the police and military authorities at once Sergeant Allen was sent from the camp to take charge for the government, while Detective Sergeant Wily, acting for Coroner Taylor, and Policeman Reid, of the Second President, were hurried to the scene in a patrol wagon. Sergeant Wily turned the bodies over to Undertaker Bennett, who removed them to his establishment. Trooper Meade was the son of Rev. Staatius Meade, rector of an Episcopal church in Alexandria. His parents arrived in Richmond early yesterday morning to take charge of the body. Trooper Gooch, who was well-known in this city, was the son of T. R. Gooch, superintendent of telegraph on the Richmond, Fredericksbarg and Potomac Railroad. Both victims had joined the military organization, formerly known as the Richmond Light Infantry Blues, since President Wilson issued his call. --- TWO WOMEN LYNCRED. (Washington Post, Aug. 20, 1916). Gainesville, Fla., Aug. 19—Five persons, three colored men and two colored women were taken from the fall at Newberry, Fla., early today and hanged by a mob, and another colored man was shot and killed by deputy sheriff near Jonesville, Fla.; as the result of the killing yesterday of Constable S. G. Wynne and the shooting of Dr. L. G. Harris, by Bolsey Long, colored. Those lynched were accused of aliding Long to escape. FURTHER, TROUBLE FEARED Possess consisting of several hundred men tonight are searching the woods about Newberry, 18 miles from here, for trace of Long. Further trouble is feared. Dispatches from Newberry tonight said that the mob which lynched the two persons was composed of about 50 men and worked quietly and rudely. After gathering entrance to the hill they took the victims to a point about a mile from town and hanged all on one large tree. Not a shot fired, the dispatch said. was said to have aided Long to escape Wynne and Dr. Harris were shot when they went to Long's home at Newberry early yesterday morning to arrest him on a charge of stealing hogs. It is said Long drew a pistol from his night clothing and fired. Wynne was rushed to Jacksonville, where he died yesterday at noon. Sovera' hundred colored men are employed in phosphate mines near Newberry. EW AND OUTLOOK A FIGHT FOR ARBITRATION A spokesman of the railroad employees, writing in the Des Moines Register, puts the attitude of labor toward arbitration clearly before the public. He says, "Did Congress enforce arbitration in 1894 when we wanted it? In later years by our own force of organization we secured arbitration, but it proved to be a faker and we have no faith in it." There it is in a nutshell. The eight-hour day is a mere device to secure more wages without a real reduction in hours. But the principle of arbitration is repudiated. When President Wilson suggests that the railroad managers refuse to make concessions, he is not in accord with the facts or the principles involved. The managers stand prepared to make any concessions which an impartial tribunal shall direct. But they are firm in demanding arbitration. If a settlement is patched up on any other basis, as for instance the complete surrender of the railroads, at the President's request, following the precedent of the western roads in 1914, the principle and practice of arbitration will be thrown into the discard forever. It has been pointed out before in those columns that the alternative to war is not peace, a mere negation, but arbitration. The alternative to arbitration in industrial disputes is war. At its best the threat of a strike to the prejudice of the public is coercion. Strikers are war, and a settlement is reached when one side or the other is beaten. There is a parallel in the great world war now in progress. The Central Powers rejected all propositions to arbitrate and war became inevitable. The contention of the men in the railroad dispute is a return to waragey. Is the principle of arbitration, of reasoning together, of compromise, of mutual concessions to perish forever at the tyrannical edict of a labor combination, which believes it has the public by the throat? Anything more un-American than the flabby acceptance of such an ultimatum could hardly be imagined. And yet, with that delusive appearance of firmness with which the Administration has made us familiar, there is a manifest disposition to palter with a principle which is as clear as crystal If the men win their contention, they win something which the people of the United States cannot afford to surrender. If the railroad managers give up this point, they give up everything. Concessions are always in order in nonessentials, but a vital principle necessary to the well-being of all the people cannot be conceded. There are times, and this is one of them, when peace can be purchased at too heavy a price. To Editor of Richmond Planet: Why all this chatter in religious and secular papers about President Woodrow Wilson being a Christian? My colored brother—think! Can President Wilson be a Christian when he is a member of the Southern Prebysterian Church, which declared at its separation and organization in its testimony that they denied the headship of Jesus Christ over nations, doing so in order that in the social and political realm their members might and did hold slaves? Has that church, whose members have as their uppermost ideal in the civil sphere "Keep the Negro down," ever repudiated that testimony which is a denial of what the Holy Bible teaches as it makes his headship over nations as plain as his headship over the church? Yet some papers prate about Wilson being a Christian and yet he belongs to a church which would enslave the Negro, when Christ died to make men free and to a church which denies in toto part of the Bible and Anathema is pronounced on such. No self-respecting Negro can vote for the Democratic nominee under such circumstances, can he? No! BART J. GUYDER Steubansville, O. Aug. 22, 1916.

B. P. E. O. W. goes to Philas. to its Grand Lodge in great style. The Lodge formed at the Sixth Va. Club, First and Duval St. Hended by the Municipal Band, Captain Mosso Johnson Leader the line of march was out First to Marshall to Fourth to Canal to the station. It was a great sight to see the Elks on the way to the station to embark for the City of Brotherly love. Every one was buoyant, the long expected tim had come, the hour had arived which they had been making preparation for the past several months and being cheered on by their fellow members who could not take the trip it made them feel glad. The mist had rolled away and now the time had arrived for them to do their duties. At the station a thousand more eager friends were on hand to bid them good and send some message to some one to let them know why they could not be present. Although they were to leave it at 10 A. M. it was 10:20 before all aboard was heard and that well known chuck, chuck was heard from the engineer and the Elks special of three coaches and baggage car was off. As the train passed through the bottom it was cheered. At Elks, many friends were in evidence to say goodbye. As it passed the Old Boys excursion of 7 or 8 coaches of white and colored excursionists bound to the city of Washington it was cheered by the many friends aboard. As the train was leaving Acacia yards one passenger had got bewildered by that music of band and had got the two excursion trains mixed and by mistake had got on the wrong train. The brakesman, called the cord the train stopped and he got off, then commenced to hit the tires like a Jack Rabbit. We hope he made the Old Boys excursion train and if he did he certainly sat still until he reached his destination because he needed a rest from the efforts he was making to see Richmond and get aboard his train. The following is the official list of those on board. Members of the Band, Capt. Moses Johnson, director, Alex. Jordan, Drummer Major Luther Dabney, Leader Chas.

The train left Richmond yards at 10:35 the run to Ashland, Hanover, Mtford, Fredericksbugs, Alexandria Washington was reached at 12:50 P.M. The hand played "tag or two while the special lad in the yards, Mr. C. H. Munford and Mr. Nathaniel Gordon greeted the boys. At 12 P.M. we left Washington for the longest leg of the journey the 136 miles to our journeys end. The committee had selected the B. and O. railroad for this service and at 2:00 were in Baltimore, Md. at the Camden St. Station All kind of sandwiches that have been invented by man and woman had been eaten by this time and every proof from to 100 had been taken for a three-quarter, but as we left Baltimore at 2:17 every body began to make preparation for the end of the journey which was expected to be at 4:10. Arriving at Wilmington, Del, the train crew reported a cripple train a head with a hot box and we were delayed 40 minutes. As we left Wilmington we ran into a terrible rain storm and as the drops fell upon the windowsanes it made many hearts feel bad as they thought of the thin clothes all were clothed in and thought they were in for a dunking but as they passed the Mason and Dixon line and ran into Chester, Pa. the sun was shining. In a few minutes we ran into the B. & O. station 24th and Chestnut Your correspondent was the first to get from the train and through the gate we were greeted by Mr. Powell B. Willis and Madame. Mr. Powell B. Willis and Madame. Wm. Redd Airfair Williams, Robt. Hardy, Royal C. Brown, Sif Frye, Mrs. Yatherine Spiller. Mrs. Mannie Briggs, and others. After some time lost in loading baggage, the bugle sounded the call and the line of march from Chestnut to 21st to Lombard, to 17th to South, to the Elks Rest where they were damished until tomorrow's parade. All along the line down Lombard St. as we struck in the 7th ward Phila. (Jackson Ward), the Richmond boys were cheered to an echo and as the band played that old rag. "Here Comes My Daddy Now." it brought forth applause from the thousands who lined the sidewalks in the neighborhood of the Elks Rest The Elks Rest is the home of O. V. Cato Lodge owned by them, they have recently made a great improvement; put on a another story to the building and have a roof garden where they serve anything that can be found in Elks Rest anywhere in the U. S. outside the Rest we shook hands with many old Richmonders. Here we met one gentle friend, Mr. Cary Truechart. He furnished me with news that Light House Lodge would be present on to-morrow, with a band of 40 pieces and 100 Here I was furnished the news that prejudice had broken out in the City of Phila., and that the White Elks are up to the old trick of asking the Court for an injunction restraining them from using the name of Elks, but the bill is returnable on Friday. Everything will be over by that time. On Sunday at the Cherry Memorial Baptist church at 3 P. M. the annual sermon was preached by Grand Chapin Rev. Jas E. Churchman of Orange N. J. His scholarly production is the talk of Philadelphia. The building was crowded to witness this exercise. On Monday night the 17th Annual Public Session was held at this name church.

Fourth Street, on Saturday afternoon at about 6:00 ack in response to a hurry call. Soon a small crowd had gathered. It grew larger, being augmented by inquisitive persons in the neighborhood. Then it was ascertained that an elderly white man was in the rear part of the dwelling, in an embarrassing position with a colored girl. CROWD GATHERED The effect of the policeman to keep the crowd from viewing the parties was frightful. The automobile patrol, when it starts, is faster than the old system of horse, propulsion, but it does not appear to be any quicker in putting to the point where it is wanted. It was approximately half an hour before it reached the place, and then the white man and the colored girl were vaulted into the patrol wagon. WHITE MAN ACTED BRAZENLY The white man took his arrest stolarly. He wore a straw hat and he was raw-boned. He wore a mustache. It seems that some one in the front part of the boarding house, which, by the way, has been "pulled" under its former management, gave the police the tip and they acted upon it. It is said that the white man was "pulling on his breeches" when arrested. BOTH FINED Both parties were fired $20.00 in the Police Court. The woman, who rented the room is alleged to have sublet it to the couple, and her name is said to be Mary Branch. The case was called August 22. The woman, Mary Branch, was fired $50.00 and sent to fail in default of $100.00 security for thirty days. At the Police Court, the name of John Britton, white, was given as having been assessed a fine. He paid the amount. --- -Miss Cora L. Bright is spending her vacation at Ahingdon, Ya. -Mr. R. C.

All the courts and lodges are accordingly invited, and friends. Staunton, Va., Aug. 21.—Master Alfred C. Mabrey, jr. son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Mabrey, departed this life Tuesday morning, August 15. He was born October 30, 1903. Master Mabrey was the treasurer of the Cadet boys of Staunton, and was very popular among his little friends, as well as among the older people, as he was a child of a lovable disposition, being loved by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn their loss, a mother, father, one little sister, a host of relatives and friends. Although Master Mabrey had been in declining health for two years, his death was a shock to the community, as he was ill only four days. The funeral was held from the residence of his parents, 120 E. Main Street, Thursday morning, at 11:30. The services were opened with hymn "Noater My God To Thee." Scripture reading by Rev. R. R. Hardy; prayer by Rev. J. H. Washington. Letters of condolences from the family and Mr. E. S. Moore, were read by Rev. O. E. Bumgardner, pastor of A. M. E. Church. A pathetic solo was sung by Miss Helen B. Moore, "I Am Going There." Remarks by Mr. L. W. Swans, superintendent of Mt. Zion Baptist Sunday School, stating, Just about a year ago, Master Mabrey, with five other little boys, came to the front in Sunday School and stated he could trust Jesus, and since that time had lived a Christian life. Confolences from the Sunday School were read by Mrs Maggie Reed, teacher of class No. 9, of which Master Mabrey was a member. A beautiful sermon was delivered by Rev R B Hardy, pastor of Mt. Zlog Baptist Church, Charlottesville, Va. Text, "The Child is not, and I whither shall I go!" Genesis, 37:20. The services were concluded at the cemetery in Charlottesville, Va. where the body was taken for interment Charlottesville being the home of his mother. His parents and a few friends accompanied the body to its final resting place. The floral designs were many and beautiful. Whereas, it has pleased God to take from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mabrey, their devoted son, Alfred Mabrey, to the home of the great beyond, and Whereas, it is their loss, it is his eternal gain. He was a devoted member of Class No. 9, but as it was God's will to take his home, we low in humble submission to Him that doeth all things best. The Golden Oates were opened wide.

Dearest Golden, thou hast lost me, and thy voice no more I will hear, for thou hast crossed the river Jordan, where there is no sickness, sorrow, death or fear, but I pray that I shall meet me, for we'll never part again.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Williams of this place. The funeral service was held at the Methodist Church on August 9, conducted by her pastor, Rev Dr. Russell. Miss Williams was a girl of the most lovable character; kind and loving to every one, and had a large number of friends. Her death has cast a gloom of sorrow over all who know her. This writer is one who can never forget her. I had known Miss Williams for a number of years, during which time I was a special friend of hers. I always found her to be kind, loving and pure, and as a truthful friend, she was an exception to all others I know. I hope that my great loss is her eternal gain, and I hope to meet her again beyond the golden shores. She didn't die, she only went to sleep. Sleep on, thou dear beloved. Sleep on and take thy rest! I loved thee well. But Jesus loves thee best. Miss Williams was an accomplished seamstress, and was noted for her cunning talents in this work. She was once one of the faculty of the high school here, which shall feel their loss greatly. I shall say in closing, a great woman has fallen. or devoted, but grieved friend, HARRISON B WILLIAMS ON A MOTOR TRIP. Mr. Jas. R.

Aug 14.—Irving King the peddler who confessed to Mrs. Grace Humston, the New York laxier, and others at Little Valley on Friday night that he and Clarence O. Connell murdered Charles Phelps and M. N. Maryaret Wobelt at West Shelby, N. Y. in March last repudiated his confession to today. District Attorney Knickerbocker of Orleans county and George W. Newton, the private detective who collected part of a $6,000 reward for bringing about the conviction of Charles P. Stielow, now in the Sing Sing death house for the crime, succeeded in getting King to repudiate his confession after spending much time with him since the prisoner was brought here from Little Valley. Mrs. Humston who came here from Oshsling when she learned that Newton, the private detective, had assisted in escorting King to the Abblen jail, declared to friends that she was not at all surprised at the new turn in events. King recanted his original confession which, Mrs. Hamilton says was a voluntary one and made in the presence of five reputable Albion citizens. SAYS HE WAS BRIDED TO CONFESS He said that when he confessed to the murder of the old farmer and the housekeeper he was promised a part of $1,000 which was being held in Orleans county for the defence of St. Louis. He insisted he was also promised that if he confessed he would not go to jail for more than a year. He declared that on the night of the double tragedy he was in a saloon several miles from the scene of the murder. Several men who were in the saloon at the time he said can establish his alibi. Mrs. Hum垦ton and David A. White of Medina, St. Clovis's attorney of record, asked District Attorney, Knucklecker to be shown a copy of King's recantation. The District Attorney, it is said, told them he knew of no such statement. When Mrs. Hum垦ton and White arrived at the jail and asked permission to see King they informed by the under sheriff that Sheriff Bartlett had ordered that no one be allowed to visit the prisoner. District Attorney Knucklecker, made a statement in which he said: "I could make criticism of the meth oils which have been indulged in by which a wicked attempt has been made to prevent the administration of justice." COST $15,000 OF COUNTY'S MONEY In reply to this Mrs. Humleston and Mr White jointly I issued the following: "The course that is being pursued in Orleans county in this case is not surpriving in view of the large reward that has been paid to Newton by the Phelps family and the mistake that has been made in the expenditure of approximately $15,000 of the county's money, of which more than $4,000 was paid to Newton's detective agency for the blunder or convicting the wrong man. "We at this time give to the press the confession, in affidavit form, made by King in the county jail at Little Valley on August 11, sworn to by him before Justice of the Peace Rol and H. Pratt in the presence of Sheriff C. B. Nichols, Thomas O'Grady, Mrs. Humleston and Under Sheriff Wheaton, M. K. Hughes, Ava Valliant and Surrogate Larkin of Cattaraugus county, who asked all the questions that were addressed to King. We call upon the authorities of Orleans county to be equally frank with the public." HE FELT HE OUGHT TO TELL ALL According to the copy of King's or original confession, Surrogate Grace of Cattaraugus county, who questioned him repeatedly asked him if he appreciated what the results of his admission might mean to him, and he declared that he felt that he ought to confess even though it meant electric chair. King said no one had threatened ed him in any way, and he added that he hadn't had a drink in two days. Then he told of riding with O'Connell in a buggy to the Thelpas farmhouse and entering by the back way. "Right here," he went on. "I picked up an old broom and hacked the end with an old axe that stood there. We went up to the back door and rapped. We opened the door and we both walked in. "He throw up his hands and said, 'You both get out of here!' I up with the stick and hit him and he fell. He fell toward the stairs. He had a hold of the doorknock and he recoiled around and fell toward the stove and fell kind of onto his face. "I said to O'Connell: 'Go, and get the money; you know where it is.' And as he started through the door the woman came running out in her night dress. She went out of the door and in. As she went out of the door she wrenched it to but it did not shut tight. O'Connell just shot once at her." SHOT PHELPS THREE TIMES. Surrogate. Larkin questioned King: Q. Did you hear her holler? A. I thought I heard a noise, but I did not look. Q. What did O'Connell do next? A. He turned around and shot Phelps three times. I think: all the shots hit him. Q. Did he groan? A. Yes, he made a little noise and moved his leg a little. I do not know what O'Connell did with it, but he came into the room and came out with the money. I do not remember of seeing any perse, but he came out, in the kitchen with the money. I thought that I heard a noise outside, so I said: "Let us get out of here." He handed me $100 and put in in my pants pocket. It was all in bills and he had quite a wad in his hand. It was all paper money, and I did not see any silver. When we came out I said to him: "You go your way and I will go mine." He took his rig and drove away. I went up the road quite a way, pretty near to Rel Reynolds's hotel; then I cut across to another road and went to Alabama Centre and then to Alabama station. RODE AWAY WITH FARMER Just as I got in front of the Dry House I met a farmer driving, and I asked him where he was going. He said he was going to Akron, and I asked him if I could get there quicker by riding with him than waiting for a train, and he said yes, because I could not wait. I said yes, because I would and he would be there long before that. I do not know who he was. He had one horse and a buggy. Justice of the Peace H. C. Tucker is said a warrant to day charming King with murder in the first degree in connection with the deaths of Philips and Mrs. Wolcott. He declined however to make public the name of the complete autograph. Attorney White, who defended Sitten on trial characterized King's recantation as "ridiculous, false and insulted." He denied that friends of Snowle were responsible for the warrant lodged against King. CORREOPORATED PART OF CONFESSION The announcement that King had taken back everything he said in his original confession did not surprise Stuart M. Kohn, attorney for the Mutual Welfare League, who was one of those who advised Mrs. Humberton to abstain. Mr. Kohn said that the man's original confession was solely freely and corroboration of at least three important details in it has been obtained. Cunsel for Stielow went over some of the legal matters involved in the case yesterday and were satisfied they would get a new trial for Stielow, the condemned man, at the court proceeding before Justice Redenbeck in Rochester on August 23. Misha Appelbaum, founder of the Humanitarian Cult, said last night: "The Humanitarian Cult is fighting for a chance to show Stiebel innocent. If he be innocent, but we are principal, we fight against the barbaric third degree system and capital punishment to carry out of which presents the truth from becoming known. If King's confession is not legal, we would fight just as hard to free King, we are fighting for Stiebel's freedom." MORE ABOUT THE ANTS. in and the common garden of lawn nests around houses are distinct species from the true house ants, they will find their way in dreaming the nests with boiling water or injecting a small quantity of keroe sine or oil into them. Where large or areas are affected it is sometimes advisable to spray the laws with keroe sine emulsion or with a very strong soap wash prepared by dissolving any common laundry soap in water at the rate of one half pound to 1 pound of soap to a gallon of water. Another method is to inject biolight of carbon into the nests, the quantity of the chemical depending upon the size of the nests. After the biolight of carbon has been injected the entrance to the nest should be closed by the foot in order to retain the chemical, which will then penetrate slowly through the underground channel and kill the ants. Although its fumes are disagree- able, they are not poisonous to man and the higher animals. CHOICE OF PLACE MADE proposed National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress will be held in Washington, D.C. the latter part of September. After a canvass of the situation and receiving suggestions from many race champions over the country, Rev. Byron Cunner, of Hillburn, N.Y., president of the National Equal Rights League which proposes and calls the congress by lieu largely of its 9th annual meeting, announces the capital of the nation as the consensus of opinion to hold this race congress on equality of rights. No place could be more fitting. And many of our opinion expressed as to the time favor the month of September, the latter part, possibly the week following the B.M.C. enabling many race patrons to be present at both gatherings on the same carfare. Such a date, it is argued, will also serve the convenience of delegates attending the National Baptist Conventions before they return home. Suggestions are welcome. AN OPEN CONGRESS. This National Colored Congress is to be an open one, both to delegated persons and to individual representatives of the cause who attend on their own responsibility. It is to be free and open for race conference, action and declaration. The congress organizes meetings. The Four Right League will call it to order and those assembled will then create the Congress. Racial fraternizing, mutual acquaintance, unity of spirit and of program, exchange of notes on local conditions, race unity of feeling and a future national working together for rights, a united declaration to the country of Colored Americans on color proscription, are among the purposes of this gathering. No move will impress the white American public on our presence, numbers, capacity and spirit for equal rights, like an actual national convention attended by large numbers of colored citizens from various states. Dedicated representatives are quite advancing and churches, civic and literary societies, fraternal organizations, national and other clubs are asked to object and send decorations. The call asks that a Citizens Rights Committee be formed by pub he spirited citizens in each community to work up interest, hold a public meeting and send representation. Any person is at liberty to start such a Committee, Act at once! Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter at 27 Cornbill, Boston, will be glad to receive suggestions and inquiries. All together in 1916 and ON TO WASHINGTON. POLICE FACE CHARGES OF IMPROPRIATE CONDUCT Major Werner this afternoon will alt a judge and jury in the cases, against several policemen, charges having been filed against them recently by citizens. Policeman W. W. Cullingworth, appointed to the force in June, 1914, is charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The charges were filed by a conductor on the Chess apake and Ohio Railway and several Richmond officers who were on the first section of the Retail arrest's excursion to Bucknell Beach on Wednesday. He was suspended from duty upon his return to Richmond. Policeman Lewis Groh, a new man and the officer who succeeded in having his name shortened from Grochinski, is charged with neglect of duty and with conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. He is alleged to have failed to arrest a crowd of crashhoppers after watching the game for some time. to have failed to arrest boys, bathing in the canal, when he saw they were in a mute condition and to have entered the dining-room of Mrs. D. D. Meyer smoking an offensive pipe, and with expectorating on her floor. Several other officers will be tried on charges of departmental irregularities. OPTICER CHARGED WITH UNECOMING CONDUCT Court of Police Werner will this afternoon bear charges against Policewoman, W. W. Cullingworth, who is alleged to have been guilty of conduct intocoming an officer and a gentleman." Cullingworth was one of the party attending the Retail Grocers' Everson to Buckingham on Wednesday. It was upon this occasion the conduct upon which the charge is based alleged to have taken place. The indicts in connection with the case are these. Upon complaint of several passengers on the excursion train that the door of one of the toilet rooms was locked, and had been for some time traintrain sounded the aid of police officers who were on the train in their efforts to open the door. When the door was finally opened, Policeman Cullingworth and woman Cullingworth were taken great public nation among the passengers and the railroad officials. But for the intercession of Detective Wiley, who said he would report the matter when the train returned to Richmond, the man and woman would have been detained at the Phloxus station house. The case was reported to chief Werner yesterday morning and he immediately suspended Officer Cullingworth pending a hearing this afternoon. Cullingworth has been on the force about three years, and had been considered a discern and faithful officer before. Witness summoned for the boarding Include Detective Wiley, Officers Smith and Hooker and Captain Cobb of the train crew. CAN FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR Fruit for use in pies or salads or as stewed fruit can be put up or canned without the use of any sugar at all, according to the canning specialists of the department. They therefore advise those who because of the high price of sugar, have been thinking of reducing the amount of fruit they put up, to can as much of their surplus as possible by the use of boiling water when sugar stirup is beyond their means. Any fruit, they say, may be successfully sterilized and returned in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the fruit. The use of sugar, of course, is desirable in the canning of all kinds of fruits and makes a better and ready sweetened product. Moreover, most of the fruits when canned in water alone do not retain their natural flavor, texture, and color as well as fruit, put up in air. Fruit canned without sugar to be used for sauces or desserts must be sweetened. Can the product the same day it is picked, Cull, atom, or seed, and clean the fruit by placing it in a strainer and pouring water over it until it is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of a table spoon, wooden ladle, or table knight for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle, place rubbers and caps in position, partially seal if using glass jars, seal completely if using tin cans. Place the containers in a sterilizing vat such as a wash boiler with false bottom, or other receptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hotwater bath out-fit, process for 30 minutes; count time until the water has reached boiling point; the jar must cover the highest jar in container. After sterilising remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleaching, and store in a dry cool place. If you are running in tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water immediately after sterilization. When using a steam pressure can be instead of the hot water bath sterilizes for 10 minutes with 5 pounds of steam pressure. Never allow the pressure to go over 10 pounds. Kansas' City, Mo., Aug. 17, 1916. "Yes the Business League will live long to serve the race and to be a monument to Booker T. Wash ington." This is the opinion of the thousands of persons who attended the sessions of the Seventeenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League which opened here yesterday. As early as the tenth of August delegates began to arrive, and by Tuesday night Aug. 15, the city was very much alive with the delegates and visitors who had come to tell of the business successes, participate in the Memorial Exercises, Industrial Parade and other features. The delegates found Kansas City awaiting anxiously to greet them with flags, hospitality and good cheer. Mr. Washington's faithful "Old Guard" is very much in evidence greeting and shaking hands with friends. Secretary Emmett J. Scott with his general emile, "Bill" Dayas, business expert ences were so helpful to the Mr. Washington is shaping the destiny of the National League. OPENING SESSION At 9:20 Wednesday morning, President Fortune J Weaver tapped the gavel and the great crowd which had a combined in the Pavilion at Lincoln Electric Park for the Opening Session of the League came to order. Prayer was offered by Rev. D A Holmes, pastor Metropolitan Battalion Church, Kansas City, Kansas, Very briefly, Mr. Weaver told of the efforts of the Kansas City League to bring the National Organization here and of the splendid cooperation and support which had been given colored, of outer Kansas City and of the content encouragement he had received from the National Officers. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Mr. T. A. Franklin, on behalf of the convention, Committee of the Neo Bus. League of Greater Kansas City, Mr. J. J. Allen, on behalf of the Neo Bus. League of Greater Kansas City, Prof. J. Dallas Bowser, on behalf of the Citizens of Kankalf of the Bendings and Professional Men and Women of Kansas City, City, Hon. W. C. Houghton, on be Mr. T. B. Watkins on behalf of Secret Organizations; Mme. M. Bock, on behalf of Social Club. After which the following subjects were discussed: "Successful Farming," "Successful Fruit Growing," "Affalfa Raising," "Making Truck Gardening Pay," "Successful Wheat Growing in the West." MEMORIAL EXERCISES As early as seven o'clock last fall, the lobby of the Convention Hall was thronged with hundreds of people who were anxious to secure exercise to wit the Memorial Exercise which had been scheduled for eight o'clock Convention Hall which is the largest auditorium in the state, has never wetted a more interesting meeting, nor has it assembled a more appreciative and enthusiastic audience than it did on this occasion. The conversations of groups here and there before the opening of the meeting, and the earnest expressions on the faces of the friends and admirers of Dr Washington, testified their interest in this meeting which was held as a mark of respect for Mr. Washington. The meeting was called to order by Hon. C. H. Calloway, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Local League. After which the "Tuskegee Song" was sung by the augmented chorus under Prof. N. Clark Smith. Prof. Smith composed the music to the song while he was bandmaster at Tuskegee institute, and the vast audience applauded violently at the finish of the song. At this time Hon. Chas. Banks First Vice-President of the National League, took the gavel and in fitting language introduced Mr. Ennet J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute and Secretary of the Business League, who was to deliver the Mem- mal Address. A tremendous ovation greeted Mr. Scott as he rose to speak and it was some minutes before he was able to begin. This ovation signi- fied the nation-wide popularity of Mr. Scott, whose remarkable ability as an organizer has made the League what it is. Mr. Scott sketched in his mag- netic style the early history of the League adn his address was a powerful appeal to the business men and women of the race to preserve the Business League as a monument. to Mr. Washington by remaking it an organization of service to the race. Hon. J. C. Napier, with dignified eloquence, challenged the deepest interest and attention of the audience as he told of his impressions of the great character whose life was the subject of the occasion. The ology by Mrs. M. E. Josenberger of Fort Smith, Arkansas, was warmly received by the audience and her remarks exhibited the viewpoint of a warm personal friend to Mr. Washing ton. Another ovation greeted Major R. R. Moton when he arrose to speak. The newly elected Principal of Tuskegee Institute spoke of his deep appreciation for the influence of Mr. Washington's life, and he paid many tributes to the life of the Great Educator, Major Moton's remarks frequently interrupted by applause from the vast audience. Dr. Robert E. Jones, Editor, Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., and Fred R. Moore, Editor New York Age, New York City, contributed to the success of this epoch making occasion by admirable and polished addresses. "Rozephe"—noseph or Dr. Boeker T. Washington. And he spoke. Those who failed to hear Col. Roscoe C. Simmons on this occasion, failed to hear the master speaker. Mr. Simmons simply carried away his audience and few were in the audience who could restrain their feet him, from time to time, as he reached the altar in his address. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the parade which takes place tomorrow and the highest which is to be held Friday night at Conventor Hall. (Nowa Leader, Aug 18.) Real estate men are protecting against enforcement of the ordinance to abate nuisances in the shape of weeds in vacant lots. The ordinance provides that the owner, or the agent of the owner, must abate the nuisance by having the weeds cut down. The public department recently began onboarding regulation. Leroy E. Brown appeared before the administrative board today to find out, he said. If some sort of compromise could not be arranged, whereby the city would cut the weeds on the vacant lots, relieving the owners and their agents of that responsibility. The board could not see it that way. Commissioner McCarthy said that he saw no reason why the owners of vacant lots should not stand for this expense. Just as the owners of occu- sion did. Commissioner Hobson said that he thought the board would have just as much right to ask the city to cut the grass on occupied private lots as to cut the weeds on privately owned vacant lots. Commissioner Hirschberg said he wouldn't even consider the proposition of paying out tax payers' money needed for street improvements to clean up privately owned vacant lots, which the agents or owners should look after. He said the ordinance was proper and he saw no reason why it should not be enforced by the city health and police departments. Mr. Brown said it put the police and sanitary departments to too much trouble. It also took the time of the real estate agents and gave them considerable bother. "A policeman came all the way from the Boulevard to leave a notice at my office," said Mr. Brown, "and when I went out there I found that the lot complained of belonged to a man now in Texas. Yet if I don't have that lot attended to, I am summoned to police court and must pay a fine." "No you will not," said Chairman Hirschberg. "Allow me to, correct you, Mr. Brown. If you are not the agent of the man in Texas and have no money from the estate out of which you might pay for the abate, you should have the nuisance abated and enter a lien against the estate for the amount expended. The mayor has a fund of $500 for just such purposes." "But it puts real estate men to a great deal of trouble," urged Mr. "rown. "Why. I have had to take down five or six signs on vacant lots. Some of the signs have been on the lots for years, and only the number of my office remains. Yet I am notled by the police to cut the weeds of the lots or I must go to police court. There should be a way to remedy this." Commissioner Hobson suggested that he may have it done would allow the office to attend to it and charge the amount expended against the estate but Mr Brown still seemed to have no doubt. HIGHLAND PARK CITIZENS CHARGE CITY WITH NEGLECT (News Leader, Aug. 18.) Highland Park had its findings before the administrative board today. Mayor George Ainslie, just before noon, introduced W. A. Clarke, Jr., and A. H. Tumberlake to the commissioners and announced they had something to say about conditions in Northside, suburb. Mr. Clarke, said the mayor, would tell his own story. Mr. Clarke did. He said he had written to the administrative board, the chief health officer, the mayor, the police and every department in the city government complaining that weeds were allowed to grow in the streets and gutters, all over the sidewalks and alcove spots without let or hindrance. Pools of water, he said, were allowed to stand in the streets, and gutters and alloys were cleaned. Commissioner McCarthy said that Mr. Clarke should not have written a general letter, he should have been specific. He said that if there was any nuisance a specific complaint should be registered, and it should be attended to, and it should that the board was the place to complain, the mayor and the police should be held responsible for neglected nuisance. CAST McCARTHY'S OPINION "The mayor has two hundred men to report such matters and have them attended to, the board has nothing to do with it," said Commissioner McCarthy. "Whereupon Mr. Clarke said what he wanted to know was how to proceed." "Commissioner Hirschberg is on record as saying that he wanted citizens to come before the board, make them complaints, let it be known what was wanted and the board would do it best. "That's why I am here," said Mr. Clarke. Chairman Hirschberg pressed a buzzer. A clerk appeared. "Tell Superintendent Cohn to come here," he said. So Cohn, the cleaner, was summoned and waited while Mr. Clarke went on about the conditions in Highland Park. He said the woods were the same that folks stripped over them. He said they grew so high in the gutters they choked the street hasling. BEFORE ANNEXATION. "We used to have two men, a white man and a colored helper, a mowing machine, a cart and a couple of sythets to attend to such matters before annexation," said Mr. Clarke. "They went around and where they couldn't mow the weeds with the mowing machine they cut them down with sythets. When they found a pool of material in the weeds, they wet a lot of dirt or two and filled it in. They were paid $2 a day for the white man and $1.50 a day for the colored helper. They were home every 85 days in the year, but result-ons went much better than they ever." to wager that the city was spending more money in the annexed territory than it would get back in taxes in ten years. Commissioner Folkes suggested that the territory had been so anxious to get work done before annexation, so the city would have to assume the bonded debt, that a bad job was made of many engineering problems which led to much of the present trouble. Mr. Clarke denied this. He said the district wanted attention and he proposed to get it if he only knew what department, or who to take the matter up with. He merely wanted to find out from the board and if the board wasn't responsible he proposed to go to the mayor, if the mayor was the proper person. GUESTS AT HOTEL DALE. (Cape May, N. J.) Camden, N.

Tapp, Ph.D. "The Book of the Bible," about five hundred pages, $2.00. Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three pages, $2.00. "Saxology of the Bible," on one page, $2.00. Five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the sex of the Bible, and a book of spirit, and that sex is in the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disgrace the sex of the Bible, and that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Bible," Tapp, than to be the Freediver of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so awful that the human intellect staggers under the ideas presented. For Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books will never die. J. Bliss Harris, A. M.

A lone miner discovers a rich mine in the Mojave desert and works it secretly, the only one in the area. Lekarman overland Overland Red and Colla. "They are tramps. Overland Red tells Louise about Colla's unhappy boyhood, and she befriends the pair." Deputy Overland Red saves him with the murder of the miner. Colla saves Red is innocent. The boy Collee took the empty tomato can and went for water with which to put out the fire. Louise and Overland Red gashed steadily at the youthful figure crossing the meadow. The same thought was in both their hearts—that the boys chance in life was still ahead of him something of this was in the girl's level gray eyes as she asked. "Why did you come up here, so far from the town and the railroad?" "We generally don't," replied Overland Hand. "Wen't broke. Collie's got some money. We got out of grub from comin' up here. We come up to see the accession. I ain't kidding; we sure did! 'Course, speakin' in general, a free lunch looks better to me any day than the Vocemita, but that's because I need the lunch.

"Well, miss, it was four years ago that I picked up Collie here at Albuquerque. His pa died sudden and left the kid to find out what a hard map this old world is. We been across, from Prisco to New York, twice since then, and from Seattle to San Diego on the side and 'most everywhere in California, it bein' my native state and the best of the lot. You see Collie, he's gettin' what you might call a liberated education, full of big ideas—no dinky stuff. Yes, I picked him up at Albuquerque, a half starred, skinny little cuset, that was cryin' and beginin' me to get him out of of there." "Albuquerque" queried Louise. "Unh. Later, comin' across the Mo. Java, we got thrun off a freight by mistake for a couple of 'sowin' machines that we was ridden with to Bar stow. So the tickets on the crate said. That was near Daggett, by a water tank. It was bottter than settin' on a stove in Death valley at 12 o'clock Sunday noon. We beat it for the next town afoot. Collie commenced to give out. He was pretty tender and not strong. I lugged him some, and he walked some. He was talkin' of green grass and cucumbers in the icebox and ice cream and home and the Maumee river and a whole lot of things you can't find in the desert. Well, I got him to his feet next mornin'. We had some trouble and was detained a spell in Daratow after that. They couldn't prove nothin', so they let us go. Then Collie got to talkin' again about a California road that wiggled up a hill and through a canyon and had one of these here old mission bells where it lit off for the sky reach. Funny, not he was never in California then. Mobly it was the old postcard he got at Albuquerque. You see, he pit bought it for him when he wanted it. He was only a kid then. Collie, he says is the only thing his poor kid buy for him, and so he kept it till was about grown and grew beaten at it. But comin' here he pit asked. I guess that was about all Collie needed to remember him his. Anyway, he dreamed of this good and told me so much about it. He got to be in Calgary and the bother you wanted me to be put into your care. SYNOPSIS CHAPTER 10. "What, this! The road to our ranch." "Unh. Collie, he said so the minutes we got in that canyon, Moontone canyon, you said. We've routed' up and enjoy' the scenery. We need the rest for only last week we resigned to donin' a stunt in a movin' picture outfit. They wanted somebody to do native dogs. We said we didn't have them kind of clothes, but the foreman of the outfit says we'd do fine jes as we was. It was fierce—and, believe me, lady. I been through some! I been through some! "They was two others in, checker clothes and dip lid caps, and they wasn't native dogs. They acted like sons of—I'd hate to tell you what. Mia—to the chief dollie in the show. They stole her bees and tied him to the S. P. track—kind of loose, though. She didn't seem to care. She just stood around chewin' gum and robin' her lamps at the head guy. Then the mourn' picture express, which was a retired cogne hooked on to a Swade observation car, backs down on Adolphus, and we was to rush up like--pretty fast, and save his life. "She was a sassy little chicken with blond feathers and a three-quarter rig skirt. She had a regular strawberry ice cream soda complexion, and her eyes looked like a couple of glass alley with electric lights in 'em. I wondered if she took 'em out at night to go to sleep or only switched off the current. Anyhow, up she rides in a big reddish kind of automobile and twists her hands around her wrists and looks up the track and down the track and sees us and says: Oh, which way has he went? Wich way did Disgustus Adolphus beat it to? And chewin' gum right on top of that too. It was tough on us, miles, but we needed the money. "Bout eighteenth time she comes coughin' up in that old one long machine—to get her expression right, to the boss kept hollerin'—why, I gets slick and tired. If there's anything doin' why, I'm game, but such monkeyin'! There was that picture machine idiot workin' the crank as if he was sheilin' a thicker full of injuries with a Gatling and his fool cap turned round with the lid down the back of his neck, and in Colle, the only sensible actin' ones of the lot, because we was actin' natural, just rustin'! I got sick and tired. The next time up coughs that crippled up automobile with the mumps on its front tire, and she says, 'Where, oh, where has he went?' I ups and says, 'Truzy, mias, and can you blame him?' "She didn't see no joke in that, so the was he fired in. He wasn't goin' to say me at that, but I picks up the little picture machine box and I swings her up over the track kind of suggestive like. One?' said I. 'Do we get our money?' "Drop that machine!" says he, rushin' up to me. "I'm a gain to' says I. good and hard. Think again while I come. If we get our money? "You get pinched!" says he. "Two!" says I, and I swings the box up by the legs. "Hole on!" yells the boss. "Pay the mutt, Jimmy, and for Good make, get that machine before he ruins the best reel we made yet." "We got puff." "But the bell and Moonstone canyon?" questioned Louise, glancing back at Boyar, grazing down the meadow. "Sure! Well, we flopped near here that night"— "Flopped!" "Uhuh. Let's see. You isn't bep to that, are you? Why, we crowded to the hay, the feathers, pounded our ear—went to bed! That' what it used to be. Woll, in the morning me and Collie got some sandines and crackers to the store and a little coffee. It was gain' over there that we seen the bell and the road and the whole works. I got kind of interested myself in that canyon. I here saw so many moonglones layin' right on top the grave, and I been in Mex too. We liked it, and we stayed over last night, expectin' to be gone by now." "And when you leave here?" queried Lotte. "Same old thing," replied Overland cheerfully. "I know the ropes. Collie works by spells. Oh, we're litin', and that's all you need to do in California." "And that is all—now that you have found the road!" "Oh, the road is like all of them dreams," said Overland. "Such things are good for keepin' people interested in somephin' till it's done, that's all. It was fun at first lookin' up every arropo and sit in the hills till we found it. Same as them marriages on the desert after that." "Marrigees?" "Uhah. South water what ain't there like." "Oh, mugged!" And Louse laughs joyfully. "I don't see no joke," said Overland, embarrassed. ```markdown ``` on marriages, then, do you? But I can't generally peppermint. I believe in folks and things, although I'm old enough to know better." "I'm glad you believe in folks," said Louise. "So do I." "It's account of bein' a pote, I guess, stibed the tramp. Course I ain't a professional. They got to have a license. I never took out one, not haven' the money. Anyway, if I did have enough money for a regular license I'd start a saloon and live respectable." "Won't you quote something?" And the girl smiled bewitchingly. "Boyar and I must go soon. It's getting hot." "I'm mighty sorry you're goin', miss. You're real California stock. Knowed it the minute I set eyes on you. Besides, you passed us the smokes." "Just step out from behind that rock," said Tenlow, addressing Overland. "Don't know as I will," replied the tramp. "You're no gentleman; you didn't say 'please.'" "Come on! No bluff like that goes here," said the deputy. "Can't you see I ain't finished smok' in yet?' queried Overland. "Come on! Step along." "No way to address a gent, you Johnny. Say, tell you now before you fall down and shoot yourself. Do you think you got me because you rode up while I was talkin' to a lady and butted into polite conversation like a drunken Swede at a dance? Say, you think I'd a' ever let you get this far it but." "Never me can talk late. The boy surprise at the shepherd. he naked. out me. I guy crouch didn't kill. What you How do you Hold on, said Overland. He's for up." Louise wi bridled him seemed to "Best you shut up!" Overland turned a blue astonished eye on Collie. "Why, kiddo, what's blim you?" "Because the lady give us the makings don't say she smokes, does it?" Overland grunted. "Because you're foolish with the beat don't say I am, does it?" They snimwiches has gone to your head, Chicago. Who said she did smoke?" Louise, grave eyel, watched the two men—Overland sullen and scowling, Collie fierce and fuming. "We aren't used to—to real ladies," apologized Overland. "We could do better if we practiced up." "Of course," said Louise, smiling. "But the poetry." 1. "U-m-m, yes. The poetry. What's 1 give her, Collier." 2. "I don't care," replied the boy. "You might try 'Casy Jones.' It's better'n anything you ever wrote." "That? I guess not! That isn't her style. I mean one of my own—somewhat good." "Oh I don't know. 'Toledo Blake,' mumbled Collie. "Nope! But I guess the 'Grand Old Privilege' will do for a starter." "Oh good! And Louise clapped her hands. 'The title is splendid. In the poem original!' The trump bowed a trifleaughtly. "Original? Me life's work, lady." And he awkwardly scanned to button a buttonless coat, cogged, warded his half consumed cigarette toward the skies and began: Folks say we got no morale that they all fell in the war. And no competence as the would be goodlier say: grouses my: And we great intentions did jeet up and few the air; While we steel around and watched 'em fado away. And that's the grand old privilege to check our lock and choose. Any road at any time for anywhere. And Overland, his hand above his bounty, bowed effectively. I like, I would be goodies," and Louis. "Sure, just like a nutzys, sticky cookies that too sweet. And Any road at all time for my where—I think that is real." Overland puffed his chest and chewed his throat. "I can't help it, miss. Born that way. Cut my first tooth on a bank of potes me got for a premium with Mustang dentition." "Well, thank you." And Louis nodded gently. "Keep the茶叶 and papers to remember me by. I must go." "We don't need them to remember you by," said to grand galaham. Then the smile suddenly left his face. CHAPTER IV DOWN the Old Meadow trail, unseen by the girl and the boy, rode a single horseman, and something at his hip glinted in the sun. Overland's hand went to his own hip. Then he shrugged his shoulders and slowly recovered himself "What's the use?" he mattered. But there was that in his tone which brought Collie's head up. The bad pushed back his battered hat and ran his fingers through his wavy black hair perplexedly. "What's it case? Red? What's the matter? "Nothin', Just thinkin'." Yet the tramp's eyes narrowed as he glanced furiously past the girl to where Boyar, the black pony, grazed in the meadow. Louise, puzzled by something familiar in the boy's upturned, questioning face, raised one handled to her lips. "Why, you're the boy I saw out on the desert two years ago. Weren't you lying by a water tank when our train stopped and a man was kneeling beade you pouring water on your face? Aren't you that boy?" "Yes!" exclaimed Collie, getting to his feet. "Red told me about you too." "Yes, it's her," muttered Overland, nodding to himself. "And you chucked a rose out of the window to us?" said the boy. "Overland said she did." "Yes, it's her; the rose lady girl," said Overland. "Some of the folks in the train laughed when I picked up the rose. I remember. Some one also says. They're only tramps. I recollect that too." "But those men were arrested at Barwatow for murder. Uncle Walter said. Again Overland Red nodded. "They was, miss. But they couldn't prove nothin', so they let us go." "We always was gain to say thanks to the girl, with the rose if we ever seen her," said the boy Collin. "We can't had such a lot of roses give to us." "Bo we says it now," said Overland quickly. "Or mobby we wouldn't never have another chance." Then he slowly rolled another cigarette. Just then the black pony Boyar noticed. He recognised a friend entering the meadow. Overland lighted his cigarette. As he straightened up Louise was surprised to see him thrust both hands above his head while he continued smoking pliably. "Eureux me, mien," he said, turning the cigarette round with his lips. "but the gout behind you with the gun has got the drop on me. I guess his waitin' for you to stop out of range." Louise turned swiftly. Disk Tommy, Deputy sheriff, nodded good morning to her, but then his gun seemed on the ground. "Just step out from behind that rock," said Tenlow, addressing Overland. "Don't know as I will," replied the tramp: "You're no gentleman; you didn't say 'please.'" "Come on! No bluff like that goes here," said the deputy. "Can't you see I can't finished smoke' in yet?" queried Overland. "Come on! Step along." "No way to address 'a' gent, you Johnny. Say, I'll tell you now before you fall down and shoot yourself. Do you think you got me because you rode up while I was talkin' to a lady and buttled into polite conversation like a drunken Swede at a dance? Say, you think I'd a' ever let you got this far if there hadn't been a lady present? Why, you little nikkel plated, rubber eared policeman. I was doin' the double roll with a pair of Colt's 45s when you was learnin' the taste of milk." "That'll be about all for you," said the sheriff, grimming. "No. It ain't. You ain't take'me serious and there's where you're make'me your mistake. I'm touchy about some things, Mr. Pussey. I could 'a got you three times while you was ridn't down that tril, and I wouldn't 'a had to stop takin' to do it. And you with that little old gun out before you even seen me!" "Why didn't you then?" asked Tenlow, restraining his anger, for Louise, in spite of herself, and smiled at Overland's somewhat picturequeen reventment. "Why didn't you, then?" "Hub" snorted Overland scornfully. "Do you suppose I'd start anything with a lady around? That isn't my style. You're a kid. You'll get hurt some day." Deputy Tenlow scowled. He was a big man, slow of tongue, ordinarily genial and proverbially stupid. He knew the tramp was, endearing to anger him. The deputy turned to Louise. "Sorry, Miss Lacharme, but I got to take him." "There's really nothing to hinder, in there?" Louise asked sweetly. The trump glanced up, addressing the deputy. "Yes, even now there is something to hinder if I was to get busy." Then he coolly dropped his arms and brained against the rock with one leg crossed before the other in a manner sometimes supposed to reflect social ease and elegance. "But I'm game to take what's comin'. If you'll just stick me up and extract the 2 automatic I'm packin' on my hip—and, believe me, she's a bad Gat when she's in action—why, I'll feel lots better. The little gun might get to shootin' by herself, and then somebody would get hurt sure. You see, I'm give-in you all the chance you want to take me without gettin' missed up. I'm perous about firearms anyhow." Deputy Pick Tendow advanced and scurred the gun. "Now," said Overland Red, heaving a sigh, "now! I now! it wasn't enclosed to look a gun in the face. You see, unless he added, turning to address the girl." I was sheer of Ableno once in the old red eye, rumpus days. I have planted some citizens in my time. You see, I kind of owe the ones I did plant a silent atheology for kettle! this here chicken rancher get me so easy." "You talk big," said Tomow, laughing. "Who was you when you was sheer of Ableno, eh?" "Jack Summers," sometimes called Red Jack Summers, replied Overland quietly, and he looked the deputy in the eye. "Jack Summers!" Overland model. "Take it or leave it. You'll find out some day. And now you got some excuse for poking! a gun round these here peaceful bills and valleys the rest of a life. You took Jack Summers, and these didn't go! to be a funeral." Something about the trunk's manner inclined the deputy to believe that he had spoken the truth. "All right," said Tomlow; "Just step out. Don't try the breast or I'll free you." "Course you would," ask, overt stepping ahead of the deputy's pony. "But the banche you call in" orders from don't want me dead, they want me alive. I don't need all shot up. You ought to know that." Overland Red grenade! "It's against me morals to bat with kids. But I'll BARNARD "All right," said Tonlew. "Just step ahead." put up that little automatic you frisked off me against the thousand you expect to get that you don't even get a long range smell of that money. Are you on? Tonlew motioned the other to step ahead. "I'm better, my little gun to a thou-hund dolum, but you bother. Alright, you girl." I'm given the long "Never mind," growled Tealow; "you can talk later." The boy Collie, recovering from his surprise at the arrest, stepped up to the sheriff. "Where do I come in?" he asked. "You can't pinch Red without me. I was with him that time the guy cracked out on the Molave. Red didn't kill him. They let us go once. What you doin' pinchin' us again! How do you know?"— "Hold on. Collie; don't get carless," said Overland. "He don't know nothin' He's followin' orders. The game's up." Louise whistled Boyar to her and bridged him. The little group ahead seemed to be waiting for her. She led the pony toward the trail. "Did he do it?" she asked as she caught up with Collie. "No," he muttered. "Red's the squarest pal on earth. Red tried to save the guy out there on the desert. Gave him all the water we had, pret. near. He danced to give him all." for because he was afraid it would kill him. The guy fell and hit his head on the rail. He said he was dying on his feet, anyway. Then he红指ed me clean to that tank where you see us from the truth. I was all in. I guess Red saved my life. He didn't tell you that." "Is he—was he really a cowboy? Can he ride?" asked Louise. "Can be ride! Say, I seen him ride Cyclone once and get first money for ridin' the worst buckin' bronce at the rodeo over to Tucson. Well, I guess." "Boyar, my pony, is the fastest pony in the hills," said Louise penstewly. "What you give us? said the boy, glancing at her sharply." "Nothing. I was merely imagining something." "Red's square," asserted the boy. "Sherif Tenlow is a splendid shot" murmured Louise, with apparent relevance. They had crossed the meadow. Ahead of the sheriff walked Overland, his slough gone, his head carried high. Collin noted this unusual alertness of police and wonderd. "Don't try the brush," cautioned Tenlow, also aware of Overland's alertness. "When I leave here I'll ride. SabeT and Overland stopped briskly to the trail, turning his back squarely on the alert and puzzled sherif." "He's been raided in these bills," muttered the trains. "He knows the "Don't try the brush," cautioned Tenlow. trails. I don't. But I like to show that little possebody girl some real ridin' onn. She's a sport. I hate to do it, but I guess I got to." "Step up there," said Tenlow. "What you talk! about, my boy?" "Angels," replied Overland. "I see once in white." And he glanced back. He saw Collette talking to the girl, who stood by her pony, the reins dangling lightly from her outstretched hand. "Snake," screamed Overland Red, leaping backward and finging up his arms directly in the face of the deputy's pony. The horse reared. Overland, courting, signaled under its body, striking it as he went. Again the pony roared, nearly throwing the deputy. "Overland limited!" shouted the tramp, dashing toward Boyar. With a spring he was in the saddle and had slipped the quilt from the saddle horn to his wrist. He wore need that quirt, as he laughed. Bound swing Tenbow, cursing Black Boyar shot across the meadow, the quilt falling at each jump. The tramp glanced back. Tenbow's right hand wad up, and his gun roared case indoors. The boy Colle, white and gasping, throw himself in front of Tenlow's horse. The deputy spared the pony over him and swept down the meadow. Louise, angered in the boy had snatched Boyart's reins from her as overland shouted, related as she saw the instant bravery in the hats' endover to stop Tenlow's horse. She stepped over him. He rose stiffly. "Oh, 'I thought you were hurt' she exclaimed. "Nope. I guess not. I was scared, I guess. Let's watch 'em, miss." And, forgetful of his bruised and shaken beak, he limped to the edge of the meadow, followed by Louise. "There they go!" he cried. "Rocks way ahead. The shoefire can't shoot again—he's too busy ridden." "Boyart! Good horse! Good horse!" cried the girl as the black pony flashed across the steep slope of the rugged mountain side like a winged thing. "Boyart! Boy!" She adlurved in the loose shale, plowed by the pony's dying hoofs, adlurved down the slope at every plunge. "Can he ride?" shouted Collie, wild tears of joy in his eyes. Suddenly Overland, glancing back, saw Tenlow stop and raise his arm. The trump cowboy swung Black Boyar half round and, driving his unspurred heels into the pony's ribs, put him straight down the terrific slope of the mountain at a run.

President Wilson appealed to the railroad officials yesterday to abandon their insistence on arbitration of the dispute threatening a nation-wide strike, and to accept his plan of an eight-hour day settlement, already agreed to by the employees, because in his position the railroads are contending for a principle, which it assembling is impossible to apply to the present situation. SCENE A DRAMATIC ONE. In one of the most dramatic scenes known to the White House in recent years the President declared to the heads of $5,000,000,000 worth of properties, assembled at his summons: "If a strike comes, the public will know where the responsibility rests. It will not be upon me." A few minutes later he issued a statement saying "the public has the right to expect" acceptance of his plan. HOLDEN URGES ARBITRATION Relieving acceptance for the present buttress of giving a final answer, Hale Hobden president of the Burlington roads and spokeman for the 23 railroad officials urged the President to uphold the principle of arbitration, and dared his plan would place in personal that he been accomplished in the peaceful adjustment of labor contractions by methods of arbitration. At the close of the conference President Waugh commenced to Washington additional railroad presidents from the West and the executives already here told him they would confer among themselves and return probably tomorrow. In the meantime representatives of both the east and the employees will remain for informal conferences. SITUATION AT A STANDSTILL The situation last night was described by a railroad president as "a blessing but grave." It will be at a standstill until tomorrow at a brief discussion of counter-proposals and compromises was current, and serious consideration was given to the possibility of government operation of the roads in case of a strike. A portion of the day's conference laws or it was said on good authority that many of the road presidents had upheld the possibility of a strike more remote than at any time since they came to Washington. Over the weekend it was antifederal that the railroad officials will get into communication with the controlling financial interests, and it still was considered possible that some of the powerful directors of the roads would be bound to Washington. Both among the employers and employees talked affairments for a strike continued and for different reasons both sides said if it came it would last even that a work PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT While President Wilson still was addressing the railroad executives, he also faced a condition that he had to provide the statement to the country reviewing his plan and characterize it as thoroughly practiced and fair program," was given out at the White House. In the statement he urged the adoption of the six-hour day because he "proudly believed right" suggested the creation by Congress of a small body of men to investigate the results, and urged the abandonment of the demand for time and a half overtime pay by the men and the "contingent" provision by the railroads. Mr. Hobson insisted on arbitration to reply to the President because it is essentially the common right of every citizen of whatever condition in life to be heard" and because experience thus put the right to claim arbitration as a method of settling in the controversies beyond question. JOHN FACES DILEMMA (The bound Evening Journal, Aug. 15) With what mower is Superintendent Cohn, of the Richmond street cleaning department, going to cut down the woods in Highland Park and that carry out the instructions of the administrative board delivered in person to him this morning? This question has brought about a situation which, in addition to proving baffling to city officers, seems about to precipitate a controversy between Mr. Cohn's forces and those of Superintendent Caulder, of the city parks. Weighing his words carefully, Mr. Cohn, staring directly at Mr. Caulder while both were stamling in the city hall corridor, said to the latter: "Mr. Caulder, if the Lord permits me to live long enough I shall carry out the order of the administrative board." This was immediately after Mr. Caulder had informed him that the mower which he proposed to use belonged to the city parks, and that he could not use it for the reason that there was need of it in the parks. The mower in question, it appears, is at Highland Park, Mr. Cohn, when before the board, said he was under the impression that the mower was broken. He was instructed to get it and if it was broken to sell it for junk but if not to put a man to work at once with it, cutting down the woods completed at by the offspring of Highland Park, Mr. Caulder this morning. sing said the mower was practically new, and that Mr. Cohn had been mpg. informed. Further, he said it was the property of the parks and could not be spared for the work Mr. Cohn was ordered to do. What citizens of Highland Park today are asking is: "If Mr. Cohn cannot get the mower how can he do the work, and if he cannot do the work how will the work be done?" GREEKS BAR BULGAR ADVANCE Division Engages in Desperate Fight, Despite Orders. AND ARE HAILED AS HEROES Russians Pour Forces Into Balonika to Serve With Serbs—Great Developments Are Expected. The offensive in the Dalkans is in full swing. Russian troops have arrived in Balonika to fight with the entente forces landing of Italian troops, who are also to take part in the operations, is continuing. An unofficial despatch also reports that Greek troops have been engaged since Sunday in desperate battle with Bulgarians at Serres, near Kavala. Each side lost heavily. The destruction of a railway bridge and the stippling of enemy skirmishers by artillery fire were announced by the Rightist war office in a statement which read: "On the Struma front we destroyed a railway bridge at Anglsta station. Our mounted troops, in conjunction with the French, located the enemy on the front from Series to Svaylak. Monday an advancing enemy skirmishes toward a keipvair bridge was stopped by our artillery, which also dispersed the enemy (attretching opposite Kaim arjan and Cavadimaal). A despair to the London Evening News says the resistance of the Greeks at Series has created unsettlement in Athens and that the newspapers there are referring, to the "hereday division of Serus." (A Division is Ephesus). It is understood at Angles, the despatch continues, that Greek army headquartered order, the Serus division to retaliate (orders have been given that all fortified hostilities must be avoided. Athens aides indicate that Russian troops have been in the Balkans for more than three weeks, the initial contingent having apparently arrived at Salinaia some time previous to July 31. The news has been just released by the elite leadership. Arrival of the Balkans, together with the announcement that Italian troops had landed there, is another indication that the allies have decided to concentrate on this front force sufficient for an important campaign. The Russian forces have been signed to positions with the Serbian troops on the southern frontier of Serbia. Despatches regarding developments on the Macedonian front indicate that the engagement is becoming general all along the Balkan line. Salentika advises report the capture of Forts Kaima Kasha and Caurila, in the Istrian section. The Serba won the Bulgarian first line on the trotic border, southeast of Monastir, while the allied armies crossed of the Struma cost of Salentika, and established themselves firmly on the right bank. Meanswhile the Bulgars and their Testone allies have not relived the pressure of both wings of the Struma line. They forced the Serba to yield more ground southwest of Monastir, and drove their line to within seven miles of the Greek port of Kavala, on the eastern extreme wing. Along three roads the allied forces are now moving forward. The Serbia are pushing toward Monastir, supply their front by the Salonika-Monastir railway. The main allied operation is along the Vardar valley, following the line of the railway that runs north from Salonika directly to Nisha the centre of the link between Berlin and Constantinople.

The Italian dreadnought Leonardo da Vinci caught fire and blew up in the harbor of Taranto, Italy, and 200 of her crew were drowned, says a Turin despatch to the Paris Petit Journal. The date of the disaster is given only as a day in August. The fire, says the despatch, was discovered in the dreadnought's kitchen and spread rapidly. The captains immediately ordered the magazines flooded and tried to beach the battleship, but one magazine exploded before this could be done. The vessel was tuffed over on her side and a large number of the crew were thrown into the sea. It is believed that the battleship can be righted and rudicated. Bucharest Advices Say Pact With Allies Has Been Made. The Budapest Az Est which is usually well informed on the Rumanian situation prints a despatched from its Bucharest correspondent saying the action for own which in the last few days have been at fever beat, has suddenly cooled down. It is stated that possibly the end of the mobilization is responsible for the change, it not the utter words uttered in the Hungarian parliament. (This is the first hint of a Rumanian mobilization that has been pernit to pass the allied conselhip. At most nothing on the Rumanian military situation from the entire view point has come into view since the Rumanian situation in its present phase reached a critical stage.) The Bushcare despatch adds that there is no doubt that Premier Brasiliano has reached an undertaking with the entente, so that further negotiations are unnecessary now for actual participation in the war. Meanwhile the semi-official Rumanian prey is savagely attacking the conservative organs which undertook Coffee mobilization and related measures. The white heat of discussion in Rushafale's political dress is now declared to be subsiding despite the alleged imminence of the final step. This is asserted to be due to the failure of the Russians to keep up their recent successes and to their proximity to Field Marshal Von Hindenburg to the Rumanian border. BRITISH INVEST THIEPVAL Troops Are Gradually Drawing Circle Around German Stronghold Around German Stronghold. British troops are gradually encroaching Thiepval, the German stronghold on the somme front which has withstood the battle ring of the allied offensive. The official communication issued by the war office announced progress northeast and southeast of Thiepval. In the sector of Pozieres the British advanced on a half-mile front to the outskirts of Mosquet farm. Along the Porlerva-Miramont road progress also was made. The British troops, the official statement says, are now within 1000 yards of Thiepval, whifeb has been under heavy artillery fire more than six weeks. One hundred prisoners were taken. (Thlepval marks the northernmost point at which the British attacked early in July. Afterward the threat spread northward past Thlepval to Hebeterne and Gommecourt. Thlepval is seven miles west of Bapamne Miraumont is three miles northwest of Thlepval and Moquet farm is about a mile southeast of the German stronghold.) The text of the war office report is as follows: "At Gofflemont the enemy garrison is still maintaining obstinate resistance, in spite of heavy losses from our bombardment. In the vicinity of Pozieres, we again made considerable progress. We advance on a half mile front and established our lines at the road junction Just outside Moquet farm. "On the right of the Postzera-Miram mont road we pressed forward. In the Leipskis salient (in the vicinity of Tblepval) we extended our gains. Our positions have been advanced to a poling within 1000 yards of Tblepval More than 100 prisoners were taken." Bryan to Make Many Spaces William J.

On their way to two great family routolots twenty-five persons were killed and thirty three others injured in a head on collision of trolley cars on the Southern Cambria Traction line, at a point between Echo and Brookdale, near Johnstown, Pa. It was a disaster unique in some respects. The motorist of the second or runaway car that caused the collision, being unable to control his trotley on the steep hill, seems to have fainted or fallen dead at his post after waving his arms and wildly yelling. His car, running at least forty miles an hour, crashed into and telescoped the other, coming toward him as fifteen miles an hour around a curve at the foot of the hill, and what was left alive of the human freight was crushed into compact masses at the ends of the cars opposite to the impact. The cars in the collision were the one southbound from Ebensburg, and another from Jolinstown, carrying excursionists to the reunion of the Ribblett and Conner families at Woodland Park, and the majority of the injured are members of those families. Running past the Southern Cambria car barns at forty miles an hour and passing a switch with undiminished speed, the southbound car brought about the collision. The exact circumstances leading up to the wreck will probably never be known, but it is quite certain that Motorman Angus Varner lost control of his car, or that he fainted or was stricken dead at his post. In the dight of the runaway the conductor on the rear end attempted to bring the car to a standstill by pulling the trolley pole from the wire, but the speed was too great. The runaway dashed, around a curve a short distance from Echo, and it was there that the collision occurred. The force of the impact was terrible, and both cars were badly telescoped and the crash was heard more than a half-mile away, residents of the neighborhood say. A portion of the roof of the Johnstown car was hurled numerous feet, and the steel and wood were crushed as --- E HAD IN OAK, MISSION OF AND WILL PLAY TWO 10- D WITH A MOTOR GUARANTEE THIS MACHINE HAS NEEDL ABLES 10 INCH DIAMETER D.

The infantile paralysis epidemic claimed four more lives and found eleven new victims in Philadelphia, one of whom is a man twenty-nine years old. Two of those whose cases were reported died before the day was ended. Following the plan for stricter sanitation throughout the city Director Brusen, of the department of public health and charities, called together a conference of bureau chiefs in different departments of the city government and made arrangements for a wholesale clean-up and a vigilant inspection of every place where dirt and dust may gather. Part of the program announced, calls for the nightly scouring of a district between Lombard and Morris streets, east of Broad, where the disease has claimed the greatest number of victims in all the city. Millions of gallons of water will be used to flush the streets and always every night in this district. Somewhat similar action will be taken in a disease center upstairs: Feady the work has had its effect and Dr. Krusen remarked an abatement of the epidemic during the last few days. MORE CASES IN NEW YORK 39 Die and 163 New Cases of Plague is Reported. The epidemic of infantile paralysis has taken a turn for the worse in New York, despite the continuation of unusual cool weather. During the twenty-four hour period 163 new cases of the disease and 39 deaths were reported to the health department. This is an increase in new cases of nearly 100 per cent over Monday's figures, which show 155 were stricken with the plague and 31 killed.

Late seeding of wheat has been recommended as the only practical method of combating the Heslan fly. It has been demonstrated without a doubt that this is the only way the farmer can get at the problem. However, late seeding means that the crop is likely to go into the winter in a less vigorous condition than if sown at the normal time. In order to counteract this some fertilizer should be used to cause the plants to grow more rapidly, even though late planted. Experiments at the various stations have shown that late seeding will be accompanied by good yields if the crop is handled in such a way as to make a good covering for the land before the winter sets in. This can be accomplished only by having the land in excellent condition of fertility as regards plant food. Early plowing, followed by frequent harrowing, will often put the soil in a condition that will supply sufficient plant food to enable the crop to make rapid growth. However, this can only be done on land that is well supplied with organic matter and naturally fertile. In other cases a liberal supply of available plant food in the form of commercial fertilizers should be used. Experiments by the writer have shown that a difference of two or three weeks in the time of seeding may result in equally good results, provided fertilizers are used with the late sown wheat. This is a point in wheat culture that should not be lost sight of by the farmer, as it means that the helianfly can be avoided by late seeding; also that the late seeding will be accompanied by good yields if the proper fertilizers are used. A. E. Grantham, Agronomist Delaware Experiment Station, in Practical Farmer. Sound Method by Accident A farmer who accidentally stumbled upon the way to combat the Hesian fly is Oscar P. Sell of Berks county, Pa. Three years ago he found that an application of chicken manure to a portion of his field not only brought a larger yield, but also reduced and almost eliminated Hesian fly damage. The following season he repeated his experiment, using a fertilizer and manure, and found the same results. CONTROL OF THE HESSIAN FLY Late Seeding and Judicious Feeding Recommended by Department of Agriculture. Methods for controlling the Hessian fly, the worst pest of the wheat field, in the fall wheat growing sections may be summarized as follows: Sow the best of seed in thoroughly prepared, fertile soil after the major portion of the fall brood has made its appearance and passed out of existence and, if possible, sow on ground not devoted to wheat the preceding year. While it may seem farfetched to bring forward as a preventive measure the enrichment of the soil, a fertile soil will produce plants that will withstand with little injury attacks that will prove disastrous to plants growing on an impoverished or thin soil. This is because a fertile soil will enable an infested plant to tiller freely, and these tillers will have sufficient vitality to withstand the winter and send up head producing stems in the spring. It is also chiefly on the thin or impoverished soils that the difficulty of sowing late enough to evade the fall attack and at the same time secure a growth sufficient to withstand the winter is encountered, and whatever can be done to obviate this difficulty will constitute a preventive measure—Farmers' Bulletin 640, United States Department of Agriculture. How the Name Wee Given The common name, "Hessian fly," was long, ago bestowed upon this insect by Americans because of its having committed some depredations on Long Island, New York, in 1770, in the vicinity of Lord Howe's old encampment of three years before. The Hessian mercenaries were much despised, both at home and in America, and, on the supposition that these soldiers had brought the pest with them from their native country in the straw used for their bedding, it was given the obnoxious name of "Hessian fly." Proper Preparation of Cell It matters little whether a soil has much or little fertility if that fertility is bound up in clods or hard jumps out of reach of the rootlets of the young plants. Early plowing and thorough working and compacting of the soil will produce a pulverized, compact, moisture conserving seed bed, from which, as soon as rootlets are sent out from the seed kernel, the shoot will begin to draw nourishment. This will give vigor to the plants and thus enable them, by freely tillering, to outcompete a light attack of the Hesling fly that otherwise might prove serious.—Hermann, Bulletin 600, United States Department of Agriculture. THE LIFE OF THE HESSIAN FLY (From the D. B. Dept. of Agriculture) The life history of the Hessian Fly is shown above. The life of the adult fly is but a few days, probably but a week or less, and the great mass of the flies will appear at about the same time. If the wheat is sown after the flies appear by the time the wheat is up they will be gone and the plants escape the attacks of the fly. Experiment stations urge you to sow wheat late in order to escape the Hessian Fly. Experience has taught you that the best yields are secured from plants that enter the winter with strong; healthy growth. Solve this Problem by seeding late and hastening the fall growth by the use of 200 to 400 pounds of fertilizer containing 2% to 3% of available ammonia. Acid phosphate alone will not give the necessary, quick, strong, healthy growth. If the fly does not happen to be present this year, the good effects upon both the wheat and the grass seeded with the wheat, will repay many times the cost of the added ammonia. You cannot afford to be without this Fly Insurance. "The application broadcast of some quick-acting fertilizer containing a large percentage of phosphate, made as soon as general infestation is apparent, will cause the plants to tiller more freely and give them sufficient vigor to withstand the winter, and thus increase the number of healthy stems the following spring. While it may seem 'far fetched' to bring forward as a preventive measure the enrichment of the soil, a fertile soil will produce plants that will withstand with little injury attacks that will prove disastrous to plants growing on an impoverished or thin soil. This is because a fertile soil will enable an infested plant to tiller freely, and these tillers will have sufficient vitality to withstand the winter and send up head-producing stems in the spring." Plant on or After These Fly Free Dates (From U. B. Dept. of Agriculture) if drought prevails, the seeding date should be longer delayed Female Embalmer HOW PARSON BROWN HELPED HIS FARMERS Studied Up Life History of Hesslan Fly and Found Preventive Measures Advocated by United States Department "Mary, I'm simply got to find out what the Hesasian fly is and what it does and why all the farmers are continually talking about it without seeming to do anything else," said Parson Brown to his wife the other evening as he returned from a trip through the countryside. "I'm going to write to the department of agriculture and the state experiment station and see if I cannot find out about the pest." The letters were sent, and a few days later several bulletins were received by the parson, who took them into his study and read them thoroughly several times. He learned the habits of the fly, that the eggs hatch in the late fall and that the young must have tender young wheat plants upon which to feed and deposit themselves, also they die.

RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Let the fly must necessarily be in the nature of preventatives, looking (1) to the elimination of the pest in the young plants in the fall and (2) to the increasing of the vigor of the young plants in order to enable them to counteract the insect's efforts when present. Under the first come late sowing, rotation of crops, burning of the old stubble and the destruction of volunteer wheat. Under the second should be classed the entitlement of the soil, its thorough preparation and selecting and properly sowing the best seed." In the same bulletin he found a discussion of the value of some quick acting fertilizer as a preventive measure.

Ten thousand prizones were taken. The Russians have occupied Tysmilienna, on the road to Stantelau, in continuing their successful advance in southern Galicia, and Berlin adopts a Teutonic withdrawal all along the twenty five mile front from Nizulloff, on the linester, through Tysmilienna to Ottynia, on the main line railway, fifteen pilies south of Stantelau. The new gains of the allies on the Somme front, in northern France, are being held firmly in the face of heavy counter attacks by the Germans. Northeast of Verdon the bitter struggle for the Thainault work and the village of Fleury continues. The Germans have driven farther into the Thainault positions, and only its outskirts are now held by the French. In Fleury however, the French made some progress. The victorious Italians are pursuing the Austrians beyond Gorz, and have stormed various positions south of the city. The number of prisoners is now 82,000. London regards not only Trieste, but Vienna itself, as monaced. Stanislau, the Teuton base in southern Galicia, is under Russian fire and its fall is expected. Along the Somme, in northern France, the British and French are making slow but steady progress in their respective thrusts toward Bapaume and Peronne. French troops pushed forward further in the Hem wood sector. British pressure continues to be exerted northward from Posierres, where they are struggling to gain complete command of the ridge overlooking Bapaume. They made a new advance. Berlin admits in an official statement, withdrawal of Teuton lines along and near the Dnieper before the Russians advancing on Lemberg. It is stated the Russian advance has been checked and the Austro-German forces are being reorganized. The Austrians are attempting to reform their lines beyond Gors and to start counter offensives at other points on the front, in order to halt the Italian advance on Trieste.

The Russians have captured Stanislau, the Teutons yielding the piece without a struggle. Infragrad reports successes on the Middle Sea. Paris reports the commencement of the Balkan drive, the fourth great multaneous allied offensive. The start was made with the capture of Dedran station in Serbian Maehlona. A battle is going on for the possession of Tolmino, twenty miles above Gorz. Below Tolmino the Italians have taken the entire Doverde plateau, and are only twenty miles from Trieste. The Germans made strong attacks on the British and French lines on the Sonme front. London says the one was repulsed north of Pforzheim with heavy loss. The attack on the French above Hem wed we also checked with loss, Paris and Amersham. SUNDAY. Allied armies made important gains on all fronts, with the exception of the Balkans. The British pushed forward 500 to 400 yards on a front of a mile in the Somme sector. The French gained at Maurepas and made some progress at Fleury, near Verdun. The Italians drove the Austrians from fortified positions and took more than 200 prisoners. The Russians advanced all along the line in Gallicia and won two towns in the vicinity of Leunberg. The Turks skill are retreating at Sucr and their recent offensive against the Russians has been cheed. MONDAY. The Russian drive in Galicia continues unchecked, and is pushing the Austro-German armies outward towards Lemberg at a rapid rate. According to Petrograd salaries, von Bothmer has been forced to evacuate the line of the Stripa and is in full retreat. Continuing their advance from Gorz on the Isonzo front, the Russians have made further progress on the Carso plateau to the southeast. Following the usual course the Germans sharply counter attacked along the line west of Pozieres in the Somme region which London last night reported the British had have carried to a depth of 300 or 400 yards on a front of nearly a mile. The attack was partly successful, the Germans gaining a foothold in a portion of the lost trenches. Following up their gains on the north bank of the river Somme, the French are pushing their advance to a point where German evacuation of Clary, commanding the direct approach to the Personne from the northwest may be compelled. --- (W.

By all the laws of environment, influence and family tradition, Eleanor should, today, be a happy little wife mother tucked away in some pleasant uptown flat. Eleanor came from Butterlake, a little town with a Main street, up in the apple belt of New York State. She had graduated from the High School and after taking a correspondence course in library works and secretary ship came to New York City to work in the brokerage office of Kinship, Kenneth A. Cohen. She lived in one Hundred and Fifty-nine street with her mother's cousin. She was a pretty regular attendant at St. Jude's Church, and by the oldest competence one Sunday morning, met there a good-looking young hap who had not George Fallowes. George was back in Butterdale in the bank and doing well Of course there was nothing serious at all between Eleanor and George She, with a quiver little blush, said so herself. So naturally, there couldn't have been. George was just a very, very sweet boy, that was all. For some reason best known to Eleanor, George had the subject of considerable of her conversations with a nice girl she had two or three months back in a moving picture show on Broadway a block from home. She was a dear girl, and Eleanor was glad to know her Eleanor eventually pervaded upon Execution to come to St. Jude's. It was with Ernestine she was the Sunday morning the men this good-looking young hap He drank quite as well as young Ben Kirkish. And Ben who had come into his father's brokery office with all his Yale ways and means, was just about the ideal in manners and looks of 18th Elmhurst's dream. The strangers name was Tenn, and he knew Ernestine. SPOKE OF ACQUAINTANCE "Buttercliffe" laughs Tom, so that "Buttercliffe" might not be unaware of the fact that his teeth were beautiful "Buttercliffe" I was up there a few weeks ago. Had some business in the bank there, and while waiting for the drafts to arrive from New York had lunch and dinner with a corking chap named Fallows. George Fallows. Know him? Well, well well! "The Fall waned. The Winter passed. Spring came, and Eleanor had learned the fox trot, the ingredients of a Russian stinger, the names of six head waiters and the unimportance of being in earnest. Somehow she hadn't considered it a calamity when she and eight other girls were given two weeks' pay and told that business didn't warrant Klnship, Keennett & Cohen in retaining them longer. George, somehow, had gone the way of many cratwhile idols and Tom had shown very definitely that he preferred Eleanor to Ernestine. Ernestine, like St. Judas, had dropped out of her world of things. And…but what's the use? She still wrote home every week. One night, in a table dhote place in the West Fortune, Tom asked Eleanor to marry him. She was happier than ever before. Of course, for the time being, she would say nothing to her folks about it. Tom had business reasons. What were they? What does it matter? FORGOT HIS PROMISE. Well, Tom seemed to forget that promise. She sought, to remind him several times, but the words seemed to choke her. She loved him as nobody in all the world had loved. She was sure of it. And he loved her? Of course, he did. Once, she grew faint when she allowed herself to question his love. He was too noble, too good, too clean to leave her now. She was all Tom's, and glad of it. It was February that Eleanor disappeared. She had been ill—almost insane. A doctor—a friend of Tom's—chook his head. He could do nothing. She talked of suicide, and Tom had laughed. That week Eleanor's mother's cousin naked the police to search for her. The newspapers took up the hue, and cry. The police found her. A detective found her three months later in Forty-fourth street and haled her to the Night Court for Women./ The timid little laugh was gone. Her hair was no longer brown, but almost flaxen. Her cheeks were too red. Her eyes were too bright. Her lips were deep carmine. The Magistrate sent her to the岛 and for three months. Also he delivered a solemn lecture in which he called her a momena and asked her whether sheer shame didn't overcome her. "Ah, go to hell." sneered Eleanor. The next morning Tom appealed to the boss of the district. Times were too hard for "a fellow to lose his meal ticket like that." "Well," sneered Ernestine, when Tom had ceased his plaint to her.

And now listen to the amazing confession of Yushie Botwin, and there from supply for yourself the missing paragraphs in Eleanor's history. The story was told in District Attorney Swann's office at the District Attorney's request Assistant District Attorney Smith was present and the rest of the audience was composed of reporters. "You make of me a reptile," whined Yushie, "and you call me an enemy of society. It is not the truth I am the friend of hundred of girls who are poor and who cannot live at home I am known by many young men of the East Side but they are not my friends I am fifty-grown years old and for twenty years I have hoped "The girl may hate me at first, but later she may back to old bed. When her friend when her sweetheart beckets her to help. How do I get the girls?" It is easy when you have the health and money. "Come on, I am a young man who says that Vetus has sweetheart, to unhappy life. She earns six dollars a week in the factory. Of this her parents will give her but 25 cents a week. Mr. Maguire I learn that Regine who goes to school in Essay street is pretty and love with a young man who does not love her. "Or maybe I hear that Florence, who lives with a married sister in Pitt street, takes care of me so much that she stays not all night in one of the "I am too cool. I watch the girl until I am certain that she is willing to listen. I look one of my young girls to watch her and take her to the moving pictures and the dance and the rackets. St Mark's place Mean while there come to me a man or a woman who says that he or she would like to have a box of cards. We do not speak of girls. There is danger in that." "Pretty soon Yetta comes to my place. Her sweetheart is with her. She is crying. She has maybe too much to love with him. She tells us and we say to her that she must not go home. We tell her that her family now would throw her out into the street. If she will not listen and has the courage to defy us we are no danger. She will not talk. She knows what we know. If she takes ALMOST ALL LISTEN "But almost always they'll tell me. Tell them how little they get at home and how much the young man loves her and how fine the new clothes will look when he buys them. "I give the young man the address of the man or woman, who wants the clothes. With her he goes there and if he understands between him and me that I am to get in per cent of what she may earn. "I must find her and collect my pay per cent before her young man realizes her. If I don't be will take all and make me not if I try to take the money. The family will not help me. She is afraid of the young man who is a friend with the police. Boobies she pays so much to a policeman who collects. She must be careful." "The young man maybe gives her $10 maybe not. Sometimes all she gets is a heating. But many times I lose my share after all my trouble. The garger thinks I am getting rich. I must buy tickets for some thing that never happens. I must play stunts in his crooked game. I must give him money for the horse racing and I must bet on horses I never heard of and that never run. GETS GIRLS FROM SCHOOLS. "Sometimes we get the girl from the school. She has failed in her lessons. Her parents are hard on her. She runs away. She is easy to handle. Sometimes they find her in a dance hall and there is something put in her water water. When she wakes up we tell her she can never go home again. "My system will not fail. It is simple, and it is the only system of getting the girl who does not volunteer. How much do I make last year? Who can tell? How many girls do I find? Five hundred maybe. I don't know."

A WILSON VETOES NEW ARMY BILL Opposes Exempting Retired Officers From Court Martial. MEASURE IS RE-INTRODUCED Objectionable Clause Was Forced In to Measure Against Wishes of the War Department. President Wilson vetoed the army appropriation bill. He did this because of exemptions from the discipline for retired officers borne into it by the house conference led by Representative Hay, chairman of the house military committee, over the opposition of the war department. A new bill was made necessary and may delay, adjustment of congress. Mr. Hay at once said he would reintroduce the bill in the house, with the features to which the president objected eliminated. He followed this announcement by reintroducing the bill with not only the secession, to which the president objected, but with the whole revision of the article of war eliminated. This threatened to complicate the situation Mr. Hay announced that he would work to pass the bill in the house under a special rule on Tuesday. "The articles of war will not be permitted to get through in this bill again," he declared emphatically, after a conference with several members of the military committee. The danger of complication and delay lies in the fact that, as Senator Chamberlain, Oregon, chairman of the senate military committee, pointed out if the house passed the bill with unrevision of the articles of war, the senate probably would reinsert them as they were passed by the senate. The president and war department were satisfied with the provision. "The veto" said Senator Chamberlain, "breaking the whole bill and there may be no counterbattles who will want to review their fight for amendment stricken out in conference." There have been broad intimations that the revision of the articles of war which proposed to remove retired officers from the jurisdiction of courts marital war in the interest of Majors General F. C. Amnsworth, who while in the service was very active in leeks lative infire, very close to congressmen framing army bills, and until his retirement as assistant general was reckoned as a power in legislation affecting the army. It was reported some time ago that with his liability to court-martial removed, General Amnsworth was likely to make some very free criticisms of the present military administration. The president's vote of the bill is one of the developments of years of contest between the army and Mr. Hay. The downfall of the continental army scheme and substitution of the national guard reorganization against the recommendation of army officers is attributed to him. Only the force of President Wilson's interference put the regular army in increase in the new reorganization bill through the house in the face of Mr. Hay's opposition. Recently the president appointed Mr. Hay to a judgehily on the court of Claims, and he now is serving under his last term in congress. The war department contends that many features of the army bill were written into it in the conference, and never were debated in the house or senate. Two Dead In Auto Wreck Two men were killed and four others badly injured, one probably fatally when a bug touring car got beyond the control of the owner on the Fred erickburg road, three miles out of Lehann, Pa., limits. The dead are: John Neldig, a hotel proprietor, of Palmyra; Frank Stefly. The injured are: Lee Michael, a Lob anon hotel man; Charles Youts Michael's hartender; Warren Smith, a printer; Bert Walmer, a clerk. The party was on the way to a resort on Swatara creek, to participate in a picnic given by a local fraternal organization. The car was the property of Neldig, and the survivors say he ran the machine at terrific speed on the State road to get up a bill just ahead. Of a sudden the car skidded into a gutter at a slight curve, and in pulling out, the blind wheel was torn off. The car then turned completely over, spilling the occupants. Neldig was caught under the car and his head was crushed. Skiffy fell in, such a manner that the wheelshole caught his neck and he was choked to death before help arrived to lift the heavy Our E-Z Payment Way.
