BROTHERHOOD TO ASK WAGE BOOST Cleveland, O., Aug. 12.—Wage increases will be demanded of the railroad administration by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, according to Timothy Shea and other delegates attending a meeting here today. Three hundred delegates, representing every railroad in the United States and Canada were present. Shea said the last raise granted in January of this year already has been more than absorbed by the increased cost of living. He would not predict the extent of the new wage demands. MARY TALBERT SPEAKS IN FRANCE Representative of National Association of Colored Women, With Others, Visiting War Zone. (Special to The Blade) Pavis—Mrs. Mary Talbert, of Buffalo, N. Y., walked into the women's cafeteria of the Young Men's Christian Association here today wearing the familiar Y uniform. Mrs. Talbert has come as the repre- sentative of the National Association of Colored Women, of which she is president and with a group of other women of her race, is leaving for Verdun and Chateau Thierry, where are located many colored soldiers engaged in work in the cemeteries. Mrs. Talbert is a graduate of Oberlin College and a leader of her race. After visiting numerous other camps in France she will go to Scotland to place before the executive board of the international council of women, meeting at Haddo House, Scotland, some of the problems confronting her people. She has received from King Albert, of Belgium, a letter expressing appreciation of the work of the colored women of America on behalf of the Belgian people. Many of them adopted Belgian children, which means that they obligated themselves to pay a certain amount regularly for the upkeep of these children. Replying to an appeal for more considerate treatment of the people of the Congo region, King Albert assures the colored women that their appeal will be heeded. HOYNE DENIES HE FAVORS WHITES IN RACE PROBE TELLS BOLTING GRAND JURY TO MIND ITS OWN BUSINESS. (Milwaukee Leader) Chicago—Following the "walk-out" Wednesday of the grand jury investigating the recent race riots here on the ground that discrimination was being shown in favor of the whites, a statement was issued by States Attorney Hoyne in which he vigorously denied discrimination and in substance told the jury to mind its own business and do its duty. The clash came at about 11 o'clock in the morning, just after the jury had voted an indictment against three Negro youths on charges of rioting and carrying weapons. Assistant States Attorney Robert Rollo had started to present another case, that of Emma Jackson, Kate Elder and three Negro men, accused of killing Walter Rignadell, a white youth. As the prosecutor started to outline the case one of the grand jurors cried out: "What the _____ is the matter with the state's attorney? Hasn't he got any white cases to present?" Others took up the cry. "Why are we getting cases against black men only? Why don't you present some cases against white rioters too?" was the general theme. Rollo wade through a mass of evidence to see whether he had a case ready to present against a white offender. He had none. Then Asst. Atty. Gen. Harry Hamlin was sent for. He went back to the state attorney's office downstairs to learn whether a case involving white rioters was ready. He failed to find one in shape, Asst. Atty. Gen. Middlekauff then made an effort to hold the jury together for the purpose of having Atty. Gen. Brundage "make a statement" to the body, Prosecutor William H. Duval opposed this, saying no one, unless he had evidence to present, should appear before the jury. While this question was being threshed out the jurors donned their hats and coats and left the building. Eviden against white rioters—five who confessed late Wednesday night—was to be presented to the reassembled grand jury Thursday, following its "strike" Wednesday. ACTORS' STRIKE HITS CHICAGO THEATERS Chicago, Aug. 13.—With two theaters already darkened by the actors' strike, which reached Chicago last night and other closings in prospect for tonight, producer-managers were to meet today to determine what steps to take against officials of the Actors' Equity association and individual actors. The strike, closing the Cort and Cohan's Grand opera houses, was called here after Francis Wilson, president of the Equity, arrived from New York and held a midnight meeting of Equity members. Green Bay, Wis., Aug. 13—The Wisconsin Retail Merchants Association at their final session here today, adopted resolutions declaring that the retailers are being falsely accused of profiteering and calling on the federal government to study prices as well as costs and ascertain who actually gets the money paid by the consumer for necessaries. Adjustment of the eight hour day law so that all stores would be equitable affected was urged. RAYS OF LIGHT HICAGO MINISTERS TAKE HIGH GROUND ON RACE RIOT- (Chicago Examiner) Chicago—The Rev. Dr. H. L Willett, D. D., of the University of Chicago, president of the Chicago Church Federation, referring to the race riots in Chicago, in an address at the West Pullman Methodist Episcopal church last night, said: "Other people have come to our shores to better their condition; we brought the Negroes here to better our condition. "We cannot ignore our debt of gratitude for the part they played in the world war, as indispensable laborers, as courageous soldiers and as supporters in full of every aid undertaken at home. "In the past we in Chicago made it necessary for them to live near the haunts of vice which we established. We have permitted gambling to flourish in their midst and we imposed upon them the vicious American saloon. At the same time we unjustly closed many fields of labor to them, causing the neediest to seek work among demoralizing influences with which we surrounded them. "Notwithstanding this, our Negro citizens were law-abiding and gave us no trouble until for commercial purposes others were brought from the South in such great numbers that housing and other living conditions are inadequate, and as yet we have been unable to effect a readjustment. "While the recent riots have witnessed the most sickening brutality on the part of Negroes the waiters have been no less cruel; in a great number of instances the stronger race has fallen upon the weaker with ferocity and without mercy and without cause. "Let us resolve, in view of the conditions obtaining within the last few days, to recognize our Negro neighbors as Americans who have always been loyal to America in the face of bad treatment; let us recognize them as fellow citizens entitled to the rights and protection of other citizens; let us treat them as men and women entitled to share fully and equally the boasted opportunity of America; let us do this in a friendly spirit worthy of Christians and of Americans." "The rioting of the past week is of the devil," said the Rev. M. P. Boynton, D. D., pastor of the Woodlawn Baptist Church, yesterday, in a prelude to his sermon. His subject was "The Devil in Chicago." Dr. Boynton said: "There is no passion of the human heart more diabolical than a mere race prejudice. To hate a fellow human being because he is of another race is to prove that we are survivals of savagery and that the evil spirits still dominate our hearts and minds." "A virtuous, industrious, self-repecting Negro is just as acceptable to God as is the white of the same high qualities. The hatred in the Negro's heart for the white face and the prejudice in the white's breast for the Negro are one and the same evil passion. In both races we have the undeveloped and ignorant classes who thus clash with one another. "The strong measures used by the governor and the mayor for the suppression of the rioting are highly commended by all right thinking people in this state and city. Riots must be dealt with ruthlessly. "Let those who participate in the rioting suffer the consequences. By such, sharp, quick methods the riot is stamped out. "Thorough investigation must follow the rioting, and all who have participated in the murderous acts of the mobs should be made to suffer the heaviest penalties of the law. This city never again should be disgraced by race riots. Chicago must be made safe for every man of every race who deports himself in orderly fashion. To this end the people will give the governor and the mayor their unqualified support. "The only permanent cure for such social disorder is in the fear of God. He alone can cleanse the human heart, cool the fires of passion and make men of all sorts dwell together in unity." The Rev. Austin "Tunter, in his sermon last night at the Jackson Boulevard Christian Church, spoke on "The Race Riots." Doctor Hunter said: "We have been shocked by the race riots in our city. It is time to counsel calmness and consideration. Our self-appointed leaders have proved mitchief makers in both the race riots and the street car situation. "The Negro has not imposed himself upon us in this country, he came by special invitation and he is here to stay. He has not been a shrinker as a laborer or as a soldier. "He is in Chicago in large numbers. With inadequate housing and living conditions trouble is easily stirred until a readjustment is effected. It is a time to exercise patience. A vigorous and speedy prosecution of those involved should be made as a deterrent to others and as a demonstration that this city is ruled by law and not by mobs." REPORTS BOLSHEVIKI HAVE TAKEN RIGA Berlin, Aug. 13—The Russian newspaper Pravsky published here state that the Bolshevik have captured Riga. The Lettish premier fled to Mitaf, the newspapers said. MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1919. TAKES SOME PATIENCE IS "KICK" OUT FINANCIER'S OF DRY LAW H.C.L. CURE HOME CIDERS O. K. WAR GETS BLAME ENFORCEMENT MEASURE IS MODIFIED BY SUB-COMMITTEE IN SENATE. HOME CIDERS O. K. PERMITS "NEAR BEER," SAVES WHISKY LOSSES AND ALLOWS SACRAMENT. Washington, Aug. 11.—With many of its drastic features modified the house prohibition enforcement bill was reported to the senate judiciary committee today by the subcommittee which has been revising it. The senate subcommittee went over the bill with great thorness, revising the more extreme clauses. REDUCE LANDLORD LIABILITY. The first modification by the senate committee was the revision of the house provision, making it a misdemeanor for a person to allow his property to be used if he has "reason to believe" it to be used in violation of the war prohibition act. The senate requires that a person must have "knowledge of the illegal use of his property before he can be held liable." It was feared that over-zealous enforcement agents might use the provision unfairly. The senate also cut down the bond necessary by requiring only $1,000 or less instead of the full value of the property. "NEAR BEERS" ALLOWED Near beers were given a new lease of life by the senate committee which allows de-alcoholized wine and brewed drinks if they contain less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol and are not designated as "beer, ale or porter." The anti-sailoon league feared this might make it easy to evade the dry laws and sought to prohibit all beverages which resembled intoxicants. One provision forbidding manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquor is stricken out and the following substituted: "All provisions of this act shall be liberally construed to the end that the use of intoxicating liquor as a beverage may be prevented; provided that nothing in this act shall prohibit the purchase and sale of warehouse receipts covering distilled spirits on deposit in general or distillery bended warehouses and no special Lax liability shall attach to the business of purchasing and selling such warehouse receipts." SAFEGUARD WHISKY SURPLUS. This clause was inserted to safeguard the sixty million gallons of whisky in bond which would be gradually converted for industrial purposes. Toilet, medicinal and flavoring preparations are exempted if "unit for beverage purposes," whereas the house required that they be "non-potable." The senate committee struck out the requirement that such compound must bear a label stating the percentage of alcohol contained. To prevent possible misuse of enforcement laws by officials the senate committee inserted a special clause authorizing the manufacture, sale, transportation, delivery and possession of intoxicating liquor for non-beverage purposes and directing the prohibition commissioner to issue permits on applications, these permits to be effective for ninety instead of ten days as the house specified. SACRAMENTAL WINE O. K. Anyone believing he has been unjustly refused a permit is given the right of appeal in court. Use of wines and other liquor for sacramental purposes is allowed without restriction except that certain church officials must be authorized to purchase and keep the supplies. Physicians' prescriptions are limited to one pint but this limitation applies the senate committee specified, only to that "to be taken internally." The much criticised house provision barring a advertisement containing pictures of a brewery, distillery, or bottle, was stricken out. The provisions making it unlawful for any one to drink liquor in a public conveyance or to carry it on his person met the same fate. HOME CIDER LEGAL Making of the manufacture, cider and wines in the home are exempted from the enforcement bill by the senate committee. This provision reads: "The penalty provided in this act against the manufacturing of liquor without a permit shall not apply to a person manufacturing non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices exclusively for use in his home." WILSON WILL VETO DAYLIGHT REPEAL Washington, Aug. 13.—President Wilson will veto the bill providing for repeal of daylight savings, it was learned at the White House today. The bill is now before him. A similar measure attached as a ruler to the agricultural appropriation bill was vetoed some time ago. JAMES A. STTILLMAN, GOTHAM BANKER, SEES SHORTAGE OF NECESSARIES. SAYS WAGE EARNER WILD GAIN WHEN PRICES DROP— NEED PRODUCTION. New York, Aug. 13.—James A Stillman, president of the National City bank, one of the world's great est financial institutions, today ana- lyzed the present economic crisis in an interview, emphasizing the fol- lowing points: The world is short of the common necessities of life and that is the first situation to be dealt with. The high cost of living is the result of the war's destruction, which makes the world short of necessaries of life. Wage earners will come out of the present economic situ- tion the gainers. Labor may lose now, owing to high prices, but it will gain when prices drop, because wages will not recede in the same ratio. The present railroad question should not be considered as a dispute between employers and labor, but as one of national policy. Railroad investments as a class are certainly as clean as any other form of investment. The public has received full value from the railroad and the best service in the world. "The general situation at this time is one which calls for temperate weather." PATIENCE NEEDED. "No man who has any sense of social responsibility will want to say or do anything that will increase the confusion and excitement which exists. "Patience is a great virtue just now. The world has had enough of fighting. Organized labor has officially endorsed the League of Nations, on the theory that the world has reached a stage of civilization where it ought to be able to advise a better way of settling disputes between nations than by war. ORDER IS REMEDY. "That general principle is just as true in disputes in industry and between classes as it is in international affairs. There should be a better way to settle them than by strikes, lockouts and other means which entail loss and suffering upon the public. We should be able to settle our differences without threats or violence, as becomes a free people. Any fair proposition will win in this country in the long run. "The war has interrupted industry and made many conditions abnormal. It is responsible for the high cost of living by causing a great scarcity of all the necessaries. It is just what to be expected if the withdrawal of so many millions of people from production. The remedy is in orderly industry. The whole situation will right itself as production is increased. Food will go down and clothing will be cheaper." WAGE EARNERS TO GAIN. "The country went through a similar situation after our own civil war. At first there was a scarcity and high prices, but when industry was fully resumed we had a long period of falling prices. It is true that in many instances wages do not keep pace with commodities when the latter are rising. "Labor generally losses on the rising scale, but gains on the downward scale which lasts longer than the losses. "I venture to predict that the wage earners will come out of the situation, because the decline in what they will buy will be greater than in wages. It was always so. All the improvements in industry, by invention and the accumulation and capital, work for the benefit of labor. JUST COMPENSATION DUE "As for the proposal of the railway brothershadows, that is not a matter to be discussed in hot blood. It is a question of National policy, to be settled by faji discussion not considering railway owners or railway employees alone, but the interests of all people. "How can the railways be most efficiently operated, so that the transportation charge, which the public must pay shall be small and consistent with the just treatment of investors and just treatment of employees? Railway investors are entitled to have a fair return on their capital, just as well as the investors in other industries. Railway employees are entitled to fair compensation, the same as employees in other industries. This is the general principle upon which the railroad problem should be solved. MISLED BY UNTRUTHs. "I don't believe the railroad men want any more than what they believe to be fair, but the leaders are in the position of advocates and attorneys. They see one side of the case only and are misled by the cost amount of misinformation, du- GUNS BOOM AS PRINCE LANDS AT ST. JOHNS SHIP STEAMS UP HARBOR BETWEEN LINES OF SHIPS IN GALA ATTIRE. Crowds So Dense Program For Reception is Changed—Officials Greet Him. St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 12.—The Prince of Wales stepped on Newfoundland soil shortly after noon today. The prince landed at the government pier in a cutter from the cruiser Dragon, to which he had transferred from the cruiser Renown, which brought him from England. He was greeted by dominion, provincial and city officials. As the Dragon and its escort the Dauntless, steamed slowly up the inner harbor between two lines of craft in gala attire, they were greeted by cheers of thousands and the booming of guns. The crowds in the city were so dense that the program for reception of the prince was radically changed at the last minute. He occupied a seat in a coach with Gov. Harris. The coach, drawn by a pair of black horses, was flanked by Newfoundland mounted constabulary. The officers of the prince's personal suite followed in other coaches. Motors were not permitted in the procession because of the congested condition of the streets. torted statements and half truths that are current. "The owners of securities of the principal railroads have nothing to fear from any fair inquiry into the value of properties. The railroad investments of this country as a class are certainly as clean as any other form of investments. RAILROAD FINANCE HONEST. "Vastly more money has been made by the people who have followed the construction of new railroads and land and industrial opportunity, than has been made by investors in railroads. The records, on the average, have not been excessive, measured by the returns upon other investments. "There have been unscrupulous promoters in railroads as in other lines of business, but the stockholders have suffered most from them. The great body of railroad financing has been honest and sound on the whole and the public has received full value and the best service in the world. FOUR PER CENT. IS SMALL. "The idea that the government can borrow in billions of dollars at four per cent, under present conditions is a mistaken one. With only a small public debt, as formerly, government bonds free of all taxation were in demand by a small class of investors at low rates. That proves nothing as to the ability to float great loans. "Let anyone ask himself how many people he knows who wants a four per cent investment. It would be unjust and practical repudiation for the government, after ascertaining the fair cash value of railroad property, to forcibly take it over for a government security which would not bring its free value on the public market. According to the argument of the railroad men in their own behalf, money has so depreciated that four per cent on a given sum is no more than two per cent five years ago. NEED CANDID DISCUSSION. "This is not a matter which directly concerns commercial banks so much as it does savings banks, life insurance companies and private investments, but whoever has invested in good faith in railroad securities should have just treatment. Moreover, it is necessary that the present holder shall be treated in a manner which will not repel investments in the future because vast sums must be had continually to keep the railroads up to the present needs of the country. "Questions of this kind cannot be settled by ex-particle statements on either side. They must be threshed out in fair candid discussion and settled with a desire to deal justly. Neither side can claim the right to be the sole judge of its own case and that is the first question to be settled. "It is not a time for hasty action or for any experiments which will tend to prevent the speedy revival of confidence and industry. The world is short of the common necessities of life and that is the first situation to be dealt with." 40,000 POLISH JEWS MAY COME TO U. S. Copenhagen, Aug. 13. — Reports from Warsaw today said 40,000 Polish Jews were seeking permission to emigrate to America. Wholesale emigrations from Central Europe to the United States are expected to begin soon. New York, Aug. 12—The Reds leds the Giants by a score of 4 to 2 at the end of the eighth inning of the first game of their series here this afternoon. Score by innings: Cincinnati 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 New York 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 Batteries—Reuther and Rariden; Nehf and Snider. PRICE FIVE CENTS—NO.11 THESUNDAYFORUM WANTS CONGRESS TO INCLUDE WEARING APPAREL UNDER FOOD ACT ATTORNEY GENERAL WOULD REVIVE WARTIME POWERS OF REGULATION. Washington, Aug. 13—Today's developments in the fight against high prices were: Attorney General Palmer asked congress to extend the food control act to clothing and other necessities. War department announced further reduction of prices on surplus army food which is on sale. Wheat Director Barnes advised the people to eat more flour and less higher priced foods. Attorney General Palmer prepared to give newspapers full details of food boards so holders would be forced by public opinion to sell. Senator McKellar denounced packers in the senate as monopolists and profiteers urging cold storage regulation. Extension of the food control act to cover clothing and other necessities and in addition, heavy penalties for profiteering, were asked by Palmer in a letter to Chairman Gronna of the senate agriculture committee. Palmer explained that these amendments will be "extremely helpful in the department's efforts to reduce the cost of living." WANTS BIG PENALTIES. The attorney general made a similar request of Chairman Haugen of the house agriculture committee. Palmer sent the committee a draft of the amendments he desired. One amendments "wearing apparel, and the containers in which foods, feeds and fertilizers are sold," to the list of articles described as necessities by the food control act. Penalties of $5,000 or two years imprisonment, or both, are added to the original act. TO CALL COMMITTEE It will be extremely helpful in our effort to reduce the high cost of living if these amendments to the food control act can be promptly passed," Palmer wrote. Chairman Gronna plans to call his committee together at once to consider the attorney general's recommendations. The attorney general seeks to practically revive the regulatory powers exercised during the war by the fuel administration over fuel and the war industries board over wearing apparel and other commodities. TO PROVIDE FUNDS Congress today began considering requests of the administration for money to fight the high cost of living. Two estimates were before the house appropriations committee and more are expected within the next few days. Those submitted are for an additional $175,000 to enable secret service agents to hunt food hoarders and run down profiteers and $500,000 for federal trade commission investigations and its program of merciless exposing profiteers. Republican Leader Mondell today said he planned to push decision on all the amounts asked for. PUBLICITY PLANNED "Pitiless publicity" will be employed by the government to force the food hoarders to disgorge. Names of owner: big stocks of food held in storage will be made public under a plan being prepared by Attorney General Palmer as another step in his nation wide campaign to suppress profitering. Palmer was expected to make this clear in a telegram to be sent today to one of the 100 district attorneys who are hunting hoarders. The plan includes publicity for the prices at which food stocks were quoted when placed in storage together with the time held, present prices and other details. CLUB AGAINST BOARDING This information will be given to the newspapers in each community by the district attorney, enabling residents to know just who gets the profit on the food. Palmer intends, it is said, to create public opinion which will force boarders to put their stocks on the market immediately and bring down prices. Nearly complete information as to stocks of food held in storage is possession of district attorneys in many big cities. HELD ITS REGULAR MEETING AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH A Most Interesting Program Was Rendered. (By A. J. Long) Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 10th. The Sunday Forum held its regular meeting at Calvary Baptist church and though the attendance was not as large as at former meetings, the program was as interesting and unsurpassed in eloquence as any previously rendered. The meeting was formally opened with singing and prayer by the prelate. The secretary's report of previous meeting was heard and adopted followed by the roll call. The program of the day consisted of a number of interesting speakers noteworthy, among the participants were the following: Mr. J. C. Clark, who gave a lengthy talk on the "Waywardness of the Younger Generation," in which he sorely condemned the evils of the cabaret and dance halls. Rev. C. H. King discussed the Sunday Forum and the shortcomings of the people in Milwaukee in failing to attend such a grand affair. He entreated them to love one another and truthfully said a house divided against itself can't long stand and so with organizations and churches as well. Rev. Boyd Winchester delivered a lengthy and most interesting address on the "Injustice of the World in Ancient Days and of these Modern Times." He said that injustice was not only the cause of national ruin to many a nation, but would be the cause of a world wide calamity if continued to be perpetrated on the people of the universe. Justice is unchanging law of God. What so ever a man soweth so shall he reap, was not meant alone for the individual but for nations as well. Justice shall not always sleep, so his warning to the nation who practices injustice and intolerance (on its citizens whose only crime is being black) beware of its awakening. Mr. Raynor, the president of the forum gave a most interesting and instructive, descriptive lesson on the "World's Crisis" and how near at hand the end of time is according to the opening of the seven seals recorded in the Bible and made more explicit to us in the every day happenings of the world events. All present were much pleased with the day's program and went down from the house of worship saying we were glad we came into the house of the Lord. All are cordially invited to attend the meetings of the Forum the second and fourth Sunday of each month at 3 o'clock. SWENSON GETS READY TO HIT LIVING COSTS STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR MARSHALLING FORCES IN EVERY COUNTY. Investigate Amount Of Food In Storage At Milwaukee—Plan Conference. Madison, Wis. Aug. 13.—Magnus Swenson, who yesterday accepted reappointment as state food administrator, today started work on plans for marshalling into line forces all over the state for concerted advance and attack on the citadel of high living costs. The first definite step will be a conference later in the week between Swenson, Gov. Phillip and United States District Attorney A. C. Wolfe Swenson also today planted a barrage of telegraphs over the state requesting former county food administrators to get busy on gathering information on food and clothing prices sought by government authorities. Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 13.—Dr. H. H. Bryant, chief of the food inspection division of the health department, today began an investigation to ascertain the amount of food now in storage houses here. A report will be issued to Health Commissioner George Ruhl and is promised within three days. Tomorrow co-operation between federal and city agencies in reducing the high cost of living will be set in motion when a federal official meets the city's high cost of living commission which was established three years ago to create city markets. STARTS LAST TRIP AS ARMY TRANSPORT New York. Aug. 13.—The transport Leviathan started from Hoboken today on her last voyage as a carried of United States soldiers. She will return early in September with most of the first division, and it is rumored that preparations are being made to bring General Pershing home aboard her at the same time. The Leviathan will be turned over to the shipping board on her return. The Imperator, sister ship of the Leviathan, also will make one more trip and then will be turned over to the British government under terms of the peace treaty. 2 WHOLESALE FOOD PRICES ON DECLINE GOVERNMENT REPORTS SHOW DROP IN FRUITS, MEATS AND VEGETABLES. REDUCTIONS ALSO HIT MELONS AND PLACHES — LOWEST TREND IN EAST. (By RALPH F. COUCH.) Washington, Aug. 12.—Wholesale food dealers have begun to make big reductions in prices of vegetables, dressed meats and fruits, gov- ernment reports showed today. With the campaign to reduce the high cost of living in full swing, comparison of quotations of July 28 with those of Aug. 11 showed a marked decline, which set in after the attack on unjustified prices be- gan. Potatoes have been cut from 50 cents to $4.40 a barrel since July 28, according to quotations collec- led by the bureau of markets. MEAT PRICES FALL. MEAT PRICE Slashes in the prices of dressed meats range up to five cents a pound for pork loin. The cutting also has been extended to beef, the figures showed. Big drops are noticeable in quotations for Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. A few price increases are shown for some grades of meat. The figures indicate the downward trend is general and that increases are exceptional. For meats, 182 comparisons were made of quotations collected by the bureau of markets yesterday and on July 28. In 107 comparisons price cuts were found. Increases totalled 50, while in 25 comparisons there was no change. FRUIT DECLINES GREATER. In vegetables and fruits, the proportion of price cuts was greater. Cuts numbered 22 and increases only three while the "no change" comparisons were limited to one. Some vegetables and fruits that have been depressed in price are onions, which dropped 65 cents a hundredweight in New York and 50 cents in Chicago; peaches 50 cents a carrier of six haskets in New York, 25 cents in Baltimore and 75 cents in Chicago. Watermelons declined from $1.60 to $1.50 per carload in New York and Chicago. Canteen-lopes per crate of 45 melons dropped from $1.50 to $2.75 in New York; $1 to $1.75 in Baltimore and 60 cents to 75 cents in Chicago. PORK LOINS UP IN WEST. Dealers in pork joins have made big cuts in prices charged retailers in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Lions weighing 14 pounds or better sold for from 20 to 32 cents per pound in Philadelphia July 28. Yesterday they brought from 25 to 27 cents a pound, showing a reduction of five cents per pound. Wholesale dealers in joins have put down prices from one to four cents in Philadelphia and slightly less in New York. But Chicago dealers in loans are putting prices up. Best grade loans, weighing from 8 to 10 pounds, have been boosted from 3 to 4 cents per pound. COMMON GRADES AFFECTED. Medium steer cuts showed price reductions ranging from half to 2 cents in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago in comparisons of bureau creations for July 28 and yesterday.

SALES SAYS COUNTRY MUST NOT RECEIVE FROM UNSELFISHNESS. Appeals For Application Of Christian Principles In International Politics. Declaring that the United States dare not recede from the point of unselfish service to which it had gone in the war and that the League of Nations is necessary even from a selfish political standpoint, the Rev. J. E. Saules, Madison pastor, urged the application of Christian principles in international politics at the Second Congregational church yesterday morning. "The League of Nations" said the Rev. Mr. Saules, "in the most critical question before, the American people. Of course, we are all interested in the high cost of living, but our descendants also will be affected by what we do with the league, and will judge in by our contract toward the exxon-mobil." The war has brought us to a condition from which we cannot now recede. We realized a Christian vision in a splendid way during the war, and we cannot now back down from this past, feeling that we are safe from the danger of tomorrow. Political disease any place in the world means disease over all. EFFICIENT SERVICE THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE Phone Douglas 206. 3539 So. State St., Chicago, Ill. Sphinx Safe Deposit Co.

We must link with them in therun unity of effort thru this covenant." The speaker decried delay in action on the past, declaring that decision could not be postponed, because political unrest is now rife. He scored narrow politicians who were urging the slogan, "America first," forgetful of the fact that smaller nations were dying. Speaking of the American mandate in Armenia, the Rev. Mr. Sailles pointed out that this country had long held a religious mandate over that territory. He scored persons who could apply Christianity in church affairs, approving of this religious mandate, but could not do the same politically. "It may be," said the speaker, "that the covenant must have certain reservations. But let us leave the adjustment of minor details like this to international jurists, and as a nation let us continue our fight for the general idea of the league, which embodies the triumph of Christian principles in international politics."

One adopted by 400 women, representing eight organizations, appealed to the president asking reduction in price of food, fuel and shoes in behalf of "thousands of children who are under-nourished as a result of extortionate prices." The other resolution, adopted by about 10,000 strikers at a mass meeting in the auditorium last night, requests congress to seize all cold storage goods, plants, packing houses and railroads. MR. HENRY BOWMAN DEAD. 467½ 4th St., Milwaukee, Wis. All that was mortal of Mr. Henry B. Bowman was laid to rest in Union Cemetery on Thursday last. He had only been confined for four days. His funeral was held from Calvary Baptist church of which he was a member. Rev. S. S. Russell assisted by Rev. J. O. Morley, preached the sermon. The choir rendered appropriate selections. The floral offerings were many, among them was a georgeous offering from the Allis Chalmers Company, where he was formerly employed. CO-OPERATION URGED TO FIGHT HIGH COST Green Bay, Wis., Aug. 12.—Cooperation between wholesaler and retailer to keep down prices was the principal point emphasized by Charles B. Wagner, Two Rivers Chamber of Commerce, before the Wisconsin Retailers' association today. He said retailers ought to assist each other in solving the freight problems, which, he said, were burdening business. Phones Office, Grand 4504-R Res.

The progress being made by Rev Russell and his followers are to be commended, his services are on the increase and the excellent music rendered by the choir, together with his inspiring sermons have put new life into Milwaukee Churchgoers. Rev Russell is one of the vice presidents of the National Baptist convention and his church friends are raising money to send him to the annual meeting at Norfolk, Va., in September. This able young man is the main spring in one of our National movements for the entertainment of the returned soldiers. The idea that lies behind the movement is to offer the boys a clean method of entertaining themselves without resorting to vicious pastimes that are not in keeping with the training that in keeping with the training that they have partaken of for the past year or more. He is planning to give them a good clean series of entertainments that may keep them from straying. The first one is a picnic to be given Aug. 17th, 1919. Do not fail to attend and lend all the encouragement that this movement needs. Each week this paper will publish a column of news concerning his activities and movements. The record set by him in raising money for his church will be hard to beat. The auxiliaries of his chur b are in a flourishing condition.

They had formed the Chorus Equity association, as a subsidiary of the Actor's Equity association to synchronize their efforts in auditing the latter's strike. At a mass meeting yesterday, attended by 100 chorus girls and men, Marie Drescher was elected president. Most of the 100 already had struck in sympathy with the actors. Among the other developments were: Kim Barryman became an active worker for the strikers. She attended the chorus girls meetings with team to attack. Washington, D.C., assigns from the Prints and Labels office because of altered results, placed in his last notice to defend the cartoons.

The lesson of the rioting and bloodshed in Washington and Chicago is that this sort of thing does not settle the race question. Lynching doesn't settle it. Rather they put the settlement further off. When full rein is given to hatred and violence, reason and morals for the time being go into eclipse. There are intelligent and law-abiding Negroes and there are bad Negroes, but the spirit of hatred and vengeance recognize no such distinction. White and black stand and shoot each other promiscuously and after it is all over the feeling of the community and country can be nothing but shame—shame that passion has triumphed over reason and anarchy over law—Milwaukee Journal. A MESSAGE TO THE MODERN PHARAOHS. ("Loose him and let him go"—John 11:44) "Loose him!"—this man on whom you plod— Beneath your heel hate-iron-shod; His silent sorrow troubles God— "Let him go!" There will be plagues, wars will not cease,— There cannot be a lasting peace Until this being you release— Each doomful kingdom—throne and crown— Built on the lowly fettered down. Shall perish—lo, the heavens frown— "Let him go!" Naught but a name is Liberty. Naught but a name—Democracy. Till love has made each mortal free— "Let him go!" "Loose him!" He has his part to play In Life's Great Drama, day by day,— He has his mission, God's own way,— "Let him go!" "Loose him!" 'Twill be your master role, 'Twill be your triumph and your goal: 'Twill be the saving of your soul— "Let him go!" Lucian B. Watkins in Richmond Planet Stand erect—the posture of a MAN. Unless you have disgraced it, there is no occasion to be ashamed of your race. Pleasure is largely a matter of taste. Some people enjoy a baseball game; others like the movies. The more debased just revel in a lynching. There is little in the career of the Kaiser or his followers that cannot be duplicated in this cradle of democracy. In the most violent repudiation of law and order, at his very door, President Wilson was conspicuous for his silence. According to the acting judge of the Milwaukee District Court, drinking beer with white men in her own home by a colored woman is most convincing proof that she is a vagrant. It is your bounden duty to refrain from every act or word that may precipitate race animosities. Defending ones self when attacked is an inalienable right of every man. The man who can devise something that will give the average group of women more pleasure than a discussion of the latest bit of scandal will prove himself a benefactor to mankind and a fit subject for a Carnegie Medal. It is nigh unto impossible to earn a good reputation upon an evil life. So shape your life that men will admire it and speak of your accordingly. What with the strikes and the soaring prices of foodstuffs and other necessities, the nation will require all the wisdom of its sages to keep us all from going to the demition bow-wows. "Let him go!"

WILL DECIDE ON WINNEBAGO ROAD TO BE IMPROVED Rockford, Aug. 13 — Members of the Winnebago county booster of supervisors who will meet next month to designate which road shall be improved next are being showered with arguments from advocates for the improvement of the Rockford-Beloit, Rockford-Durand, and Pecatonica-Seaard roads, respectively. The Chamber of Commerce is strongly in favor of the Beloit stretch, declaring that, while the present road is of macadam and passable under all weather conditions, it is at its best very poor and, being the most traveled road in the country, presents danger to the heavy traffic. The road is 17 and 5-10 miles in length. Farmers in the Pecatonica and Durand sections present equally strong arguments, declaring that the roads in these districts are impassable in bad weather and that they should have some consideration as they give hearty support to the county hard road issue. The Rockford-Durand highway is 16 miles long and the Pecatonica-Seward 15½ miles. EXPRESSMEN HERE TO CONSIDER ORGANIZING Sixteen Beloit employees of the American Railway Express Co. will meet tonight to consider the formation of a branch in Beloit of the pews organized "Order of Railway" the meeting will be addressed by Ralph H.

The city buys the bread direct from bakers. THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE SWITZERLAND IS ASYLUM OF EXILED KINGS DOZENS OF FORMER RULERS SNEAK ACROSS BORDER SHELTER. Some Ask Pity, Some Live In Luxury, And Others Live Quietly In Hiding. By HAROLD E. BECHTOL. European Manager of N. E. A. Zurich, Switzerland. Switzerland, the asylum of de- throned kings, subjectless rulers and blue-blooded refugees, has more royal inmates than ever before. Almost very week a new one sneaks across the border into exile. Many are living incognito. The Swiss say more than half the dozens of former German and Austrian kings are loaching about somewhere. Some are standing on the roofs, crying "Pity us!" Some are dissipating in luxuri- ous places on money they never did anything to earn. The royal asylum is taking on the aspect of a permanent institution with regular boarders. Between drinks, ex-royalty is reconciling itself to a long stay in the Alps. As King Constantine admits, the king business is lean pickings. Constantine, Ludwig, Karl and all the lesser royal lights can't understand it. They are subjectless, countryless. Nobody wants to be ruled any more. But don't waste any tears— None of them is hard up or friendless. The leavings of royalty seem to have a way of taking care of their own. Anyhow— These exiles live in the most delightful spots of delightful Switzerland. They have more and better food, in one meal, than the average American or Swiss has in two. They are not lonely—most of them have their entire families with them; others have their friends along. They are all surrounded by admiring hangers-on who sympathize flatter and cheer them up. They have at call anywhere from six to sixty servants apiece. Those who don't live in mountain castles, or lake front bungalows hidden away on grounds worth $30,000 an acre, live in beautiful suites of luxurious tourists hotels. At Territet, on the eastern point of Lake Geneva, I found the hotels full of German and Austrian royalty, living like millionaires and dissipating nightly. They sit about the magnificent lobbies and smoking rooms until well toward morning, drinking heavily and sympathizing with each other. Often they drink so much they have to be assisted to their rooms. One woman, until recently, a retaining duchess, I had pointed out to me three times as the cutup of the party who drank, so much she had to be carried to her apartment. Ludwig of Bavaria, on the other hand, lives quietly, though magnificently, with his daughter, Princess Holldegarde, and some close friends at the Castle of Salis in the mountains of eastern Switzerland near Chur. He takes walks daily, is approachable, frequently has his picture snapped, and is in anything but hard straits. Karl of Austria came fleeing into Switzerland several months ago, with his wife, Zita, three children and an army of servants, escorted by Colonel Strunt of the British army. The Swiss government didn't know whether to admit him or not fearing at first the opinion of the allied world. But Swiss officials say Britain intervened, said his life was in danger and got him in. Part of the time he lives in state at Wartesco castle, part of the time in a beautiful yellow mansion on the shore of Lake Geneva, about 20 miles from Geneva. He is there new hunting, fishing, walking and climbing. A few days ago I went out to his mansion from Geneva. He wouldn't be interviewed, but his sides poured out propaganda. He was such a good democratic king, they said it seemed a pity nobody would let him rule them. They complained, that he was confined in hunting to this one estate. They had been notified they said that Paderewski's chalet was adjoining and that if he shot anything on the manitou's grounds HIGH COST OF LIVING IS FLOODING COURTS Milwaukee Wis., Aug. 12 — The high cost of living is flooding court calendars here. Divorce applications number 1,000 for the fall term and in addition there are hundreds of breach of promise cases and illegitimate percentage cases. In the majority of divorce cases, cruelty is charged in the form of failing to provide necessities in food and clothing. The breach of promise cases are the result of accepted suitors changing their mind when faced with the reality of providing for two what it is now difficult to provide for one. MYSTERY OF U-BOAT BREMEN IS SOLVED: BRITISH FREE CREW MYSTERY OF U-BOAT BREMEN IS SOLVED: BRITISH FREE CREW Berlin, Aug. 12—The crew of the German submarine Bremen, sister ship of the Deutschland, which usurpured three years ago, has returned to Bremen from a British prison camp the Vossische Zeitung reported tenay. The first intimation of the fate of the Bremen, which left Germany for New London, Conn., in August, 1216. Alphonzo, the infant of Spain, lives here in Zurich, in a boarding house! But the "boarding house" is a mansion overlooking the city, with beautiful gardens and high walls. it might mean some kind of a war between Poland and Austria. And just because of his love for Austria, he wouldn't get her in any trouble even if he did have to stay on his own grounds to shoot. The Swiss say he is in Switzerland arranging investments for the King of Spain against the day when he too, may be an ex-king in exile in the royal asylum. The amusing thing about it is that somebody is kidding him. Paderewskis home. I found when I passed it later, is miles up the lake. Several estates separate it from Karl's exile home. Alphonzo's wife, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, is a first cousin of almost every king and In company with other correspondents I talked with ex-King Constantine for half an hour in his luxurious suite at the Hotel National at Lucerne. His attitude was that kings no longer have any power to do harm, so why should not people be nice, and keep them, and provide funds and thrones, and let them run their courts. Everybody Should Have AKodak Asked about the king business now, he replied that divine right was an "exploded idea." "I never did believe in divine right, and neither did any other house in Europe except the German and Austrian royalty," said Tiro. "The former czar never did. I know how democratic he was personally, but he seldom knew what those about him were doing." Constantine's manner was anything but kingly. Everybody in the room had more polite, better expression and more grace. He kicked his legs nervously, laughed in high pitch, and talked so rapidly that his words ran together. THE PHOTOART HOUSE Wm. J. Meuer, Pres. Constantine fears an attempt on his life and he moves frequently, from resort to resort, always well guarded. Tirpitz, of the U-boats, hides well, if he is in Switzerland as reports say. His son, who works in a Zurich bank says he is in Germany. Max of Baden is reliably stated to have arrived in haste one night recently in a motorboat that brought him across Lake Constance. But he has also kept out of sight. He is expected almost any day at his old favorite haunt, a mountain hotel near St. Moritz. HAIR GROWER THE STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dresser and Grower One thousand agents wanted.

Troop "K" is not only made up of gentlemen but of true soldiers; each man has a push in hih that makes him go forward. Energy, love of activity and above all things the absence of fear. They are a few of the characteristics of the men and officers of Troop "K" 10th Cavalry. 2. It was clearly demonstrated August 28, 1917, when the hostile Mexicans shot and killed a guard across the international boundary line at Nogales, Arizona, "K" troop was the first to reach the scene. As the troop reached the edge of the town the great clouds of dust arose from under the hoofs of our well trained horses and formed a barrage for our advance. PVT.

HIGH COURT MEETS TO ASSIGN CASES Mäldson, Wis., Aug. 12.—The state supreme court was to meet today for assignment of cases for early in September. The last previous meeting of the court was early in July. The supreme court faces one of its heaviest calendars for fall and winter. Besides the appeals that are likely on rate matters, induced by the wave of high costs and demand for increased rates, it is likely that a number of test cases will be brought not only on the constitutionality, of laws enacted by the 1919 legislature, such as the marketing statute and the real estate licensing statute, but also on the industrial commission's order of July 1, effective August 1, establishing a minimum wage of 22 cents an hour for women in industry.

Plan Definite Program Which Will Have Great Bearing On Business Success. Elkhorn, Wis., Aug. 13.—By organizing the Walworth county Live Stock Board, the farmers of this county expect to encourage, promote and develop the production of live stock and live stock products to a still greater degree than has been possible then individual and separate group effort. From now on it is expected that a working co-operation will be effected between the various local live stock organizations and that these organizations will be more closely affiliated with the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders' Association. L. L. Oldham, county agent, reports that the board will be composed of the presidents and secretaries of each of the organizations identified with the live stock interests of the county; representatives of each of the unorganized breeds of live stock prominent in the county; three representative farmers of the county not holding an office in any other county organization, the president and secretary of the Walworth County Bankers' association, and the county agent. "This is the first step in the centralizing of all live stock and general farming interests of the county." declares Mr. Oldham. "It means getting together for the purpose of formulating a policy of procedure and it means the carrying out of a definite program of work which will have more than a little bearing on the future business successes of Walworth county farms and farmers." Walworth is the sixteenth county to form a live stock board. The other counties are: Barron, Buffalo, Calumet, Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, Grant, Green Lake, La Crosse, Oconto, Polk, Portage, St. Croix, Vernon, Waukesha and Winnebago. ENGLAND STARTS WAR ON FOOD PIRATES London, Aug. 12.—Great Britain's determination to eliminate her food pirates was reflected in the house of commons last night in the debate on the profitering bill, which passed its second reading by a vote of 251 to 8.

The newspapers predicted today the bill would be changed considerably. STEAMER ENGLEWOOD SINKING: SENDS S.O.S. London.

In asking civilians to regard soldiers at the permanent camps in the same way that university towns regard students, Baker said: "The nation's debt to the splendid units of the regular army can never be paid. Each one of them has traditions that should be inspirational in their effect upon the young men who belong to them, working for high standards of service and sound Americanism in the army and out of it. Let us realize this and show our gratitude by our helpfulness." 5 MILLIONS IN GOLD, SUNK BY SUBS, SAVED 5 MILLIONS IN GOLD, SUNK BY SUBS, SAVED Queenstown, Ireland, Aug. 12.—Five million dollars in gold bullion has been saved from the hulk of the British liner Laurentic, mined in 1817, it was learned here today.

Badger 6200 --- LETTERS SHOW STEEEL KING'S INFORMALITY CORRESPONDENCE CONCERNING BELOIT PUBLIC LIBRARY INDICATION OF MAN. Joel B. Dow, President Of Board In 1901, Opened Negotiations With Carnegie. The simplicity of Andrew Carnegie's liberality and the lack of formality with which his benefactions were made is illustrated in correspondence made public today by Joel B. Dow concerning the establishment of the Beloit Public library in its new home given by the steel king. Mr. Dow was president of the library board in 1801. At that time the library was housed in an upper room of a building on East Grand avenue. It was cramped for room and the institution as a whole was not suitably quartered. Knowing of Mr. Carnegie's liberality to other cities similarly equipped, Mr. Dow wrote Mr. Carnegie, telling him of and asking that the benefactor con- the need of a modern library here Learn to Grow Hair Learn to Grow Hair and Make Money A.

"Very Respectfully Yours, "JAMES BERTRAM, "Private Sec'y." Mr. Dow replied, giving in detail the conditions under which the library was operating and again asking that Mr. Carnegie consider the gift of a new building. In a few weeks Mr. Dow received the following letter: "Responding to yours of July 16th If Beloit will furnish a suitable site and agree to maintain a public library at a cost of not less than $2,500 a year, Mr. Carnegie will be glad to provide $25,000 for a suitable free library building. The common council met the conditions asked by Mr. Carnegie, furnished the beautiful site where the library now stands and agreed to appropriate at least $2,500 annually, and the public library, together with the college library and the Horace White chair of economics and finance are Beloit monuments to the liberality of the wizard of steel.

CAREER OF BENEFACTOR IS CLOSED STEEL BARON AND GREATEST OF PHILANTHROPISTS VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA. BORN IN POVERTY GAVE AWAY $300,000,000 OF FORTUNE, BUT EFFORT TO DIE POOR FAILS. Lenox, Mass., Aug. 11.—Andrew Carnegie the world's greatest philanthropist, is dead. The aged steel baron, whose bene-factions totalled more than $300,000,000, succumbed to bronchial pneumonia at his summer home here this morning. He was nearly 84 years old. A statement issued by attending physicians merely said: "Andrew Carnegie died shortly after 7 o'clock this morning." PEACE IDEALS SHATTERED. Carnegie, early in his career as a financial leader, expressed the firm conviction that it was "a sin to die rich". He sought thru his countless gifts to avoid this self-designated "sin". His income was so great, however, that it is believed he was able to make but little impression upon his wealth. Carnegie had been incapacitated for several years. During the early part of the war, which came as a terrific shock to him and shattered his ideals, he began to fail rapidly and thereafter appeared very seldom in public. He was under almost constant care of physicians and from time to time it was reported that he was totally incapacitated. INACTIVE SINCE 1915 At the time of his daughter's marriage recently to Ensign Rosalie Well Miller, U. S. N., it was reported that the aged philanthropist was somewhat better. He attended the ceremony but was very feeble. Since that time he had been able to move about with numerous attendants. Recently it was given out that he enjoyed a successful fishing trip, but it was explained that his attendants were with him constantly, batting his hook and assisting him in every way. Due to his enfeebled condition, Carnegie had taken practically no part in any public affairs of any kind since 1935. WIFE AT BEDS(DE Mrs. Carnegie and John Poynton a private secretary, were at the bedside when the end came. Carnegie had been seriously ill only since last Friday. His condition became critical late yesterday, it is understood. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced, but it is believed the body will be sent to Pittsburgh for burial. Peace, charity and education are the three institutions that have benefited most from the vast donations of Andrew Carnegie. He created his own memorials in place of 3,000 libraries that perpetuate his name through the world, in the $1,500,000 temple of peace at The Hague, Holland, in his hero, peace and educational funds, and in the many other charities he bestowed in his later years. Of all the money barons, Carnegie was the happiest. One thing he hated above all was to die "unwept, unhonored and unsung," as he wrote in his "Gospel or Wealth," in 1891. BORN IN POVERTY He struggled thru poverty as a boy and ever after retained the memory of its as a stimulus for his gifts. "I was born in poverty," he once said, "and would not exchange its sacred memory with the richest millionaire's son. Give me the life of the boy whose mother is nurse, seamstress, was herwoman, cook, teacher, angel and saint, all in one, and whose father is guide, exemplar and friend." Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermine, Scotland, Nov. 25, 1835, the son of a poor weaver. At 11, he came with his parents to America and settled in Allegheny Pa. MADE 20 CENTS A DAY Carnegie's first job was in a linen mill as bobbin boy, for which he received 20 cents a day. Next he became a messenger in the Pittsburgh office of the Ohio Telegraph company, and in his spare time learned telegraphy. Staffing as telegraph operator for the Pennsylvania railroad at $25 a month, Carnegie worked his way to division superintendent in Pittsburg of the railroad. He was secretary for Col. Thomas Scott, then division superintendent, when Scott gave him a tip he advised the boy to provide to Express stock. Carnegie had no money, but his mother messaged the little home she bid with her savings, and gave him $600. Carnegie bought 10 shares of stock. That was the beginning of his prosperous carer. ORIGIN OF FORTUNE Carnegie was still working for Scott when a man named Woodruff presented a proposition to him. Woodruff was inventor of the first sleeping car and Carnegie was asked to finance him. With the formation of the Woodruff Sleeping Car company, Carnegie's road to fortune was begun. Careful investment of small earnings in oil lands increased Carnegie's means. During the Civil war he served as superintendent of military railways and government telegraph lines in the east. THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE. The next venture was bridge construction. Carnegie, Scott and another formed the Keystone Bridge works and, later, the Union Iron Works. He was the first to bring to this country the Bessemer process of making steel, in 1868. CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES. That set Carnegie on the track which he followed to the end of his days. He organized company after company in the iron and steel business. After heading the firms of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and Carnegie Brothers & Co., he combined these interests into the Carnegie Steel Co., in 1899, and in 1901 came the eventual consolidation into the $1,000,000,000 United States Steel corporation.

GIFTS TOTAL 300 MILLIONS. In his later years Carnegie made as much as $25,000,000 a year. Not until then did he begin giving away nearly as much as he received from his investments. His donations total more than $300,000,000. Carnegie started giving in 1883 with donations of $20,000 and $50,000 for libraries. By 1900, Carnegie had given $40,000,000 for the erection of libraries in America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia, and only $60,000 for other purposes. Upon his retirement, in 1901, all the he continued adding to his fortune by some $25,000,000 annually. Carnegie made gifts that averaged $22,000,000 a year. AIDED PEACE PROJECTS. Carnegie gave a $10,000,000 endowment toward international peace, $1,500,000 for erection of the peace building at The Hague and spent other millions for various educational purposes.

OUICK-CHANGE DEMOUNTABLE RIM PATENTED BELOIT MAN INVENTS SYSTEM OF CHANGING TIRE IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. Sol Larson Completes Time-Saving Device After Four Years Of Experimenting. Granting of a patent on a demountable run for automobiles that permits a tire change in less than five minutes and that requires the us of only a small key-wrench that may be carried in a man's vest pocket was announced this morning by Sol Larson, inventor of the new appliance. The patent was obtained by Mr. Larson after he had submitted a small model to the patent office and was granted almost immediately on application. The invention was submitted in its complete form after four years of work and study by the Beloit man. Operation of the rim is simple. Eight set screws fasten a demountable flange to the rim. When a tire is to be removed, the screws are loosened, the flange is taken from the rim, and the tire can be removed for repair. A new tire is slipped over the rim, the flange is secured on, and the change is completed. The whole operation consumes less than five minutes. About four years ago Mr. Larson secured another patent on a different kind of rim. His first rim was not demountable, but was separable. Its use necessitated pumping the tire up after it was placed on the rim, while with the new demountable rim, the tire can be placed in position already inflated. The first rim was not manufactured, but Mr. Larson is now making plans for placing the new invention on the market.

The belief of the majority of the members of the house interstate commerce committee is that such an investigation is being carried on now by the interstate commerce commission in its efforts to ascertain the actual physical valuation of the property. Charges Exaggerated. Plumb's charges, which he promised would consist of "new and secret evidence," failed to measure up to their forecasts several members that today. Chairman Esh mentioned that Plumb dealt only with generalities, whereas it was expected he would make specific charges as to just how the alleged the plunder has been distributed. Plumb stated details would be presented if the investigation is ordered.

He was of the opinion there was little need for another probe. May Delay Report.
