in the street by the torrid wave which
swept over this city Saturday 1t is
believed that several of those who
were taken to the hospital unconscious
will die.
It was trying day on every one,
and particularly on those who were
compelled to be out in the sun. The

the business districts also suffered Sc
verely, and scores of them fell in the
harness.
On the East Side many families
camped out on the streets, the parks
and the recreation piers. Those who
had the time and money rushed out
on the streets, the parks and the rec
reation piers. Those who had the
time and the money rush out of the
city and to the seashore as quickly as
they could do so. There they sue
ceeded in finding relief.
In the subway the heat was almost
intolerable, and those who were COM
PEELED to use it to get home looked as

suicides, were attributed to the heat.
Of the suicides, E. S. Simon, veal

Lieut.. Col. Charles f. Ayres,
Fourteenth Cavalry, has been placed
on the retired list Of the army from
this date on the finding Of retiring
board that he is incapacitated for
active service on account Of disabili-
ty incident to the service.
This action was the indirect result
of the reported interview, in which
Col. Ayres was reported to have crit
icised the methods Of administering
justice as an outcome of a difficulty
which Mrs. *Ayres had had with the
authorities at the Military Academy.
Lieut.. Col. Ayres was asked by the
department. whether he had made the
statements contained in the interview,
a question he declined to answer.
Those who had been at work on his
case for some time developed the
fact that he had before been examin-
ed by medical board as to fitness
for active military service. There
upon it was resolved by the depart
ment authorities to have another ex-
animation of this character made be-
fore proceeding legally against Lieut..
Col. Ayres and the board appointed,
in accordance with this decision, have
found that he was incapacitated for
duty. Under the regulations the on
~ course open was to order his re-
tirement, which the President has
done.

SALARIES IN THE PHILIPPINES
Chief Of Bureau Of Insular Affairs
Says There Is No Juggling Of Sal
aries as Stated by Mr.. Bizan.

Washington.-The new citizenship
law which recently went into effect
requiring naturalized Americans liv-
ing abroad to register at American
consulates unless they prefer to lose
their citizenship is causing consider
able complaint from sections where it
is not well understood. 1t was franz
ed by the Department of State to re-
lieve many endorsements caused by
German subjects coming to this
country to escape military duty, and
returning home after taking out
their first citizenship papers or after
taking the oath Of allegiance to the
United States. In its efforts to save
this class Of Americans from enforced
military service in the Kaiser's ar
my the State Department frequent
~ has been embarrassed. The new
law will correct this evil.
In Canada and elsewhere the law is
being criticised and a movement is
on foot to bring case to test its
constitutionality. The greater num-
Der of protests are coming from a Sec
ton Of Canada as wide as the dis
lance from Chicago to New Orleans,
where there are but three or four
consulates, and the Americans refuse
to travel SO far to register. It should
be remembered, however, that native
born Americans are not required to
register unless they wish to do so.
