''CENTLEMAN GEORGE" SENTENCED,
PAY wANTED FOR POLICE
Who Do Night Duty and Then Take
 Part in Paraiips


 A subject which is being agitated in some cities in the state is the matter of paying the members of the police department for taking part in parades. There are number of persons who think that it is only proper that the policemen should receive pay for pa- rading. Generally, officers who are doing duty nights are selected to take part in the parades. They go to bed after their nights work about 5 o'clock in the morning. sleep for two or three hours, then have to arise and prepare for the parade They spend two or three or four hours in march ing over six to eight miles of streets With the boiling sun shining down upon them. After the parade they nave a chance to get a few hours sleep, then they. have to go on duty again. It is only fair ithat the men should be paid for extra work. For work it is. It is harder work than if the officers were doing their regular patrol duty. It is a, case of raa1ch work and no compensation.

WON'T PARADE UNDER PARKS.

Some of the Unions Cannot Stomach
 the Plan to vindicate Him.
 New York, Sept 4.-Since the plans for the Labor day parade have tended more and more to make it '.vindica- tion" of Sam Parks by the old board of building trades, some of the import ant unions have backed out. They don't like the effort to bring Parks into prominence again by making him grand marshal.
 While the Housesmiths and Bridge mems union seem still to stand by him, the members of the other unions who are sick of the strikes and shut downs are bitter toward him.
 The following unions in the old board have decided not to take part in the parade: Granite cutters, Journey men SEtone Cutters, Steam and Hot Water Filters and Helpers, the Broth erhood of Boilermakers and the Iron Shipbuilders.
 None of the unions in the board of representatives, all of which have signed the arbitration agreement of the Employers association, will join in the parade. These unions have.an ag- gregate membership of 3o,O0O.
 Complaints have been made for the last three or four weeks at the, meet ings af the Housesmiths and Bridge men's union by women that they have to support their husbands who have been made idle.
 The housesmiths have to pay $5.5O each for the uniforms to be worn in the parade, and there is a good deal of objection to that. At Mannechor hall yesterday, where the uniforms are being handed out, there were more uni forms than applicants. In other years there was rush for the uniforms.
 Parks is i'll with malaria and paid only brief visit to the hall. He is staying at home, resting, he says, for the parade.
 It was said yesterday at the head. quarters of the Building Trades em- ployers' association that 75 foremen housesmiths belong to Parks's union who signed the arbitration agreement have formed protective and benefic- ial society. They have not left the un- ion yet, but it is expected they will be expelled tonight.

Locomotlve,a Tire Dropped or.

STROUDSBURG, Pa, Sept A. What in the estimation of railroad men was a marvellous escape from fatal rail- road wreck occurred on the Pocono mountains near Henrysville station, on the Lackawanna railroad. The train was coming down the mountain at it's usual rate of speed when about l5O yards west of the Henrysville station the tire on the rear left driver of the locomotive dropped off. This threw the tender and rear of the locomotive of the rails and also all the coaches and tore up the track for some distance. The front end of the engine was all that remained on the rails.

ELECTRICITY ON FARM.
Outlook for General Use Not Very B.
 couraginR,

'T
 The possibi4-e, dst and as yeS almost wholly undeveloped field for electricity is suggested by the Electric Review in an editorial on electric power for farm work. That there is not much in the present outlook ito encourage hope for the general useSof electricity for cultivating does not preclude it's ul- timate successful application to that class of work, and the accomplishment of that end would mean field for de- velopment compared to which all other avenues of growth would be dwarfed. says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 The Review points out the reasons for the failure to adopt this convenient and flexible power, except in rare instan- ces on very large farms, and they may be very briefly stated. The first and chief reason is that electrically driven machinery suitable to farm work has not yet been invented. The motor ve- hicle is cumbersome and expensive and not adapted to work on rough ground, and as yet no power machine has been contrived which is adapted both to sta tionary work-about the house and barns-and to field work.
 Such of the machinery of the day as might be conveniently used in the busy season on the farm would lie idle during : a large part of the year and the invest ment required would be beyond the means of the average farmer. At pres ent another difficulty-even if suitable machinery could be obtained-lies in the distance of power stations from the great majority of farms. The latter are usually located in villages and are not in position or equipped to distribute power in small quantities over a large area.
 Tn the development of the so called "trackless trolley the Review sees a possible means of encouraging the use of electricity on farms The trackless trolley is an electrically equipped ve- hicle which takes it's power from two overhead circuits and will run along or- dinary roads. It is suggested that were all turnpikes equipped with these troll ley wires properly equipped vehicles might be used to do large part of or dinary farm work much more easily and at less cost than 1t is now done
 The difficulties to be overcome makes the electrically worked farm appear a utopian dream, and yet it is by no means an ifnpossibility A light, pow erful, portable, cheap motor adapted for attachment to more than one kind of vehicle or machine would solve the problem. The machinery to do the work would not be difficult to design, and power supply from central stations would quickly follow the perfection of electric farm machinery. It may come, and if it does farm work will be revo- lutionized. The drudgery of it will be oucT Y

MAY TIE UP POST.

New Orleans, Sept All the com. merce of the port may be tied up to- day. Longshoremen insist on eight men to ships hold, and have knocked off work on coffee ship needing only two. Ship agents and stevedores have issued an ultimatum that the limit clause must be removed or work will be stopped on all ships. The lockout would affect 5000 men. Morgan line dock workers are already on strike for an increase from 80 to 40 cents an hour, and non-union men are being worked with police protection. One man has been shot and another beaten by strikers.

A Loop the Loop Victim.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 4.-A Hoop the loop'' side show claimed its second victim here. Frank Futzin, the latest man to try the dangerous experiment, was bad ly injured. The operator curls himself inside large ball which rolls down a long shoot and around the loop. The ball struck the loop all right and went halfway around it, when it fell, strik- ing the iron rafters at the bottom and bursting open. Futzin was taken out unconscious and may die.

EUROPEAN MARINES HAVE LANDED
2 GOLF TOURNAMENT.
Eight Men Left in Contest-Semi-
 Final Today.

Final To-day.
 Glen Cove, N. Y., Sept 4.-With five eastern. golfers, one from Pittsburg and two westerners left in the nation al amateur golf championship tourna- ment, play was resumed to-day on the Nassau country club links. These eight players are competing in the fifth round and the survivors will meet i'll the semi-flnal round this afternoon. The four winners this morning will all be honor men in the tournament for United States golf association which IS presented to each of the four seml- f1nalitss. Walter J. Travis, the former national champion, is paired with George T. Brokaw, the Princetonian who put out the young western cham pion, Walter Egan, yesterday. The gallery was not large when the men were started but most of the spectators followed the match.
 Paul Murphy, the St PauPs school lad, of Garden City, went off with F.. o. Reinhart, the Princeton golfer, of whom great things are expected.
 D. M. Byers, the strong Pittsburg golfer and runner up in last years championship, met Walter R. Tucker man of Stockbridge, Mass, compara- lively new aspirant for high honors.
 The two westerners are paired off together, Bruce D. Smith, the Onwent- sia club member and a Yale junior, and w. D. Cady of the Rock Island club. The latter is also an unknown quantity while the westerners pin their faith, now that they have lost ta two EganS uDOn Smih for high honors in the tournament. The course was in good shape and playing condi- tions were all that could be desired.

SMALLEST BRIGHTER.

Chicago, Sept 4.-Two-fold interest attaches to vessel built in Chicago and just sent on it's first trip across Lake Michigan. The boat is the Grace J., the smallest freighter on the lakes, and the first gasolene freight ship ever given a mention by the United States inspectors at Chicago. It is believed to be the only freighter of it's kind en- tered on the lists of the United States inspection service. It was built to en- ter the fruit trade between Chicago and Michigan ports.

AGAINST FOREIGN STUDENTS!
German Magazines want Governmen

German Magazines Want Government
 to Limit the Number Admitted.
 Berlin, Sept {. Influential newspa- pers and magazines are urging the government to limit the number of for eigners instructed in the German tech nical high schools. or more properly technical universities which are over crowded. Out of total of 14,626 students 2,242 are foreigners. Nearly half of these are Russians and there are a few Americans. Besides giv- ing trade competitors the benefit of German knowledge, the argument is advanced that the overcrowding pre- vents the Germans getting the best re suits from the instruction.
