A SOCIALIST TALK.
Mr.. Mills Answers Some OueS-
tiOnS on His Hobby.

Kansas City, Aug. 14.-"Do socialists
draw any line between what property
should be publicly owned and what
should be privately owned?" asked
man at the conclusion of Walter Thom-
as Mills address at Fourteenth and Bal
timore avenue last night.
Yes, sir, very clear one" Mr.. Mills
replied. They believe that everything
the people must use together, they
should own together. Whatever they
must use privately, they should own
privately. For example, 1 want to own
my own clothes all by myself; but
don't want to own a factory full Of
weaving machinery-I couldn't use it
alone
Isn't the postoffice, or the public Ii
brary, or the public schools an example
of socialism," asked another man.
Partly they are. Socialism embodies
three elements-collective ownership,
democratic management and equal op-
portunity. In the postoffice we have
ocratic management nor equal oppor-
tunity."
Doesn't the American workman get
more pay than the workman of any
other country?" he was asked.
He does" was the answer.
IF I get more than anybody else,
then. 1 ought to be satisfied" the ques-
toner continued.
The speaker replied: IF YOU are get
ting more than anybody else. one OF
two things is true; either you are get
ting more than you ought to get, or the
other fellow is getting less than he
ought to get. I will never be satisfied
until everyone gets all he ought to have.
The figures of Carroll D. Wright of the
board of United States labor statistics
show that the laborer in the United
States produced an average of 81, 400
worth of goods last year and received
an average of $400 in wages. Who gets
the other four-fifths? Should a man be
satisfied to get one-f1fth of what he
produces? I am not. My wife and
babies can use that other four-fifths
just well as the other mans wife
and babies can
How about the Public Ownership
party?"
Anything is good thing which takes
a Democrat or Republican out of the
Democratic or Republican party. They
will be sure to land in the Socialist
party in the end
Mr.. Mills defined a capitalist as one
who believes that the things all the
people must have a part of the people
should own A Socialist he defined as
one who believes that those things which
all the people must have all the people
should own.

For several hours this morning In

some light on the mystery. All night a

cell, but nothing was learned. The pris-
oner paced his cell sleeplessly in nerv-
Gus frsnzy. In answer to the inspectors
queries today he said that he had no
recollection of what he did the suppos-
ed night of the Mitchell murder. He re-
membered having eaten his supper and
of feeding the dog the next morning.
The interval, however, was a blank
Thompson said that Edwards, one OF

New York, Aug 14-It is announced
at Newport that a compromise has been

was at stake, and that each of the old
fashioned quadrilles which are to be a
feature of Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's colo

1t is a fact that Mrs. Fish desired some
of her friends to consent to part with
that the reproduction of the dances of
olden days are expected to produce
would be nplete. 1t is a fact, too,
that some men desiring to please Mrs
Fish and not to displease themselves
took the matter very much at heart.
But a matter of fact the bospita BILE
hostess of Cross ways is not so easily
put out, and, learning through the
newspapers of the dilemma of some Of
her friends, she promptly had them as
sured that after all the matter of their
mustaches was really of no Importance
compared with their own comfort and
peace of m ind at her ball. So now
those who are willing to part with their
mustaches will and those who do not
wish to sacrifice them need not feel
called upon to do SO.
Bright and early this morning a large
force of mechanics began the erection
of temporary ballroom adjoining Mrs
Fish's villa, which is to be used for the
colonial ball Of August %. 1t will be 20
by 40 feet. the largest ever put up in
Newport It's walls are to be set with
mirrors, and the general decoration will
be buff, the favorite shade In the days

FAIRS KILLED.
Brother Of Mrs. w. X. Wander

Meet Death in all Automobile
Wreck Near Paris.
Chauffeur Became Insane in
Consequence of the Shock.

Evereux, France, Aug. 19.-Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Fair Americans, who were
related to Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, jr,
formerly Miss Virginia Fair, were re-
turning to Paris from Trouville today
when their automobile swerved and
crashed into a tree fifteen miles from
here. Both were killed. The Chauffeur
became insane as a consequence of the
shock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fair had been staying
at Trouville during racing week. They
had a very fast 45-horSe power automo-
bile which attracted considerable atten-
ton and with which they were highly
pleased. Mr.. Fair had been from Trou-
vile to Paris and back again in one day
with the machine.
A COINCIDENCE
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Fair left San Francisco in the
latter part of May last for a trip to
Europe. Charles Fair was the son OF
the late Senator Fair, and was one OF
tie heirs to the immense estate. 1t is
peculiar that the son of the late John
w. Mackay, one of Senator Fairs part
ners. was also killed near Paris a few
years ago by being thrown from his
horse.

1t was a serious proposition that had
to be faced last night. Without breath
of air stirring, and the humidity almost
sitting, person had no alternative
from choosing one of a half score or
more methods of passing the night,
any of which presented new terrOrs.
Sleeping indoors had no attractions
unless one could fill the bath tub with
water and after putting q cake of ice
in, cIi4nD in altar. EsEen this had its
disadvantages for in order to have
room for the ice one must sit in g.
cramped position with knees protruding
above the water.
Sleeping in hammock on the veranda,
although not quite SO unbearable from
a breathing point of view, as being in
doors, was still not without it's disad-
vantages The mosquitoes were numer-
Gus and insisted on dining or the would
be sleeper which did not add to his
comfort.
And sleeping out on the open ground
was worse than anything else on ac-
count of the chiggers-
The few people who have houses built
with roof garden attachments were able
to pass the night with a greater degree
of comfort than most people, although
many slept on Slanting roofs.
Then those at the hotels who were
fortunate enough to have rooms facing
on the fire escape had a chance to drag
their mattress from the bed to the fire
escape and in that manner get out
doors Those who had to sleep indoors
passed an almost sleepless night.
The only people who were really COM
Portable were those who own electric
fans. These placed at the foot of the
bed and set in motion had the effect of
making life worth living and sleep en-
ioyable.

CHOOSE ALTIMORE.
Elks Grand Lodge Will Next
Meet in Maryland Metropolis.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 14r-The grand
lodge of ElkS has selected Baltimore as
the place of meeting for the annual re-
union of the grand lodge in 1903, and
practically completed it's business with
the exception of the installation of the
new grand officers. But two cities were
in the field for the honor of entertaining
the EslkS next year, Baltimore and Sara
tOga Springs and some very lively can
vassing was done in behalf of both
cities 1t was evident that before more
than half the roll had been called for
the first vote, however, that Baltimore
tOga Springs was accordingly with
drawn.
The spectacular feature of the days
programme was the parade of the uni
formed bodies of Elks. in which over
5000 of the fraternity, representing sew
eral score lodges took part. Prizes
amounting to $1.750 had been offered for
the marching clubs, and many beauti-
full and unique uniforms were displayed
by the lodges participating. To the
Park City Elks of Park City, Utah, was
given the first prize for the most unique
display. Each member was arrayed as
a miner, and each had with him burro
laden with all the supplies necessary to
a prospector or miner. The Cotton
pickers'' of Greenville, Miss, with black
faces and garbed in the Outlandish rags
of southern plantation negro cake
walking and dancing, and following a
float laden with cotton bales. were
awarded second prize, while small but
select body from Joliet ILL.,. in the peni-
tentiary stripes, keeping the prison lock
step, were given third prize.
For the best display prizes were
awarded as follows: Montana first,
Quiensab lodge of Ell Paso, Tex, sec
ond, Omaha, Neb., third.
The Seattle, Wash, lodge received the
prize for the best float. a model of the
battleship Seattle, fully manned. Helena.
Mont, was given the honors for the
handsomest banner, and the third regi-
ment band of San Francisco. took the
prize for the best marching band. A
number of the members OF Buffalo
Bill's' wild west show and Colonel Cody
himself. who are Elks. took part in the
parade, adding one more picturesque
feature to remarkable parade.
With the installation of the new grand
lodge officers and the transaction of
some routine business, the grand lodge
will conclude its session, and the exodus
for home will begin. Several hundred
Elks will visit California, however, be-
fore turning their steps eastward. 1t
is not believed that any changes in the
ritual will be made, and the new funeral
service recently submitted for adoption
will, it is expected, go over until next
wear.
