AMERICAN VICTORY IN GERMANY
Prosecutor Finds Oil Company Has
Committed No Wrong.

Berlin.-The long and venomous
campaign waged by German newspa-
pers and rival industrial interests
against one of the German branches
of the Standard Oil Company - the
Deutsche Vacuum Oil Company-has
just been brought to a victorious end
for the Americans involved.
A well known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such~a series OF
attacks on the American graft meth
DDS" alleged to have been practiced
by the acuum company in the con-
duct of its German business that the
public prosecutor of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inves-
tigation with a view to eventual in
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation. especially
of the work of E. L. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager of the German COM
pany's sales department, and an
nounces that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence Of anything warrant
ing prosecution was found against Mr..
Quarles, and the costs of the entire
inquiry will be borne by the State.
The result of the investigation con-
stitutes a notable triumph for Ameri-
can interests in Germany.
1t is not the first time that Ger
finding themselves unable to
compete with Americans OIL ordinary
terms have resorted to SANDER.

iron Fishing.

The bottoms of many Swedish
lakes are covered to a thickness of
six or eight inches with fragments Of
iron ore of the size of peas. This
lake ore consists chiefly of ochre, or
hydrated oxide of iron, mixed with
silicate and phosphate or iron, clay,
sand and other impurities, and is OBJ
tanned by very primitive methods.
In winter a hole is cut in the ice, a
wraper attached to a long pole is in
serted and all the ore within reach
is collected into a heap beneath the
hole. Some of the mud which has
been scraped together with the ore
is removed by stirring the mass with
poles and the ore is then scraped into
bags which have been sunk and is
hauled up. In summer this curious
mining operation is conducted in a
similar manner from RATS anchored
in the lake. Two miners can bring
UP about four tons of ore In a day.
Steam dredges have recently been in
stalled in a few places. About thirty
years after the removal of the ore
a new layer of the same thickness is
found to have been produced by nat
ural chemical processes. London

nSAh
Montreal, Canada.-Forty-ive hum
dred conductors, brakemen and yard
men of the Grand Trunk system went
on strike in obedience to an auto
matte strike order. At the same
time all conductors, brakemen and

way rushed str~ikebreakers from the
United States to take the places of the
strikers.
The total number of men affected
by the strike is $500 trainmen and

Never Such Quantities Laid by For Future Use at This Time of the Year
Interest and Expenses Piln8 Up-BiS Charges For Users to
Meet Next Winter Promise the Highest Of Prices.

The phenomenon of increased
quantities of butter and eggs in stor-
age with higher prices in the market
is causing much talk among the
wholesale dealers on the west side.
The explanation offered by some of
their number is that Western pack
ing companies made contracts earlier
in the year to take the butter and
eggs from the farmers at high prices,
and so they were compelled to main
tain prices to protect themselves from
losses. If the current receipts of the
products we're now offered for imme-
date consumption prices would drop,
and so most of the eggs and butter
coming here Of late has gone into
storage.
One of the wholesale dealers said
that the packing companies may also
have as an object in keeping up
prices of butter that people may get
the habit Of using oleomargarine as a
substitute. While butter was at its
highest retail prices last winter much
more oleomargarine was sold than
ever before in this country.
Dealers said that they do not see
any reason for expecting a reduction
this year in the cost of living in the
items of butter and eggs.

POSTMASTER-GENERAL POINTS TO

One of the mostdesperate attempts
on record to influence the stock mar

ton in a malicious report, from an
apparently authenticated source, that
Germany had repudiated the Monroe
Doctrine and intended to do as she
pleased in South and Central Ameri-
can affairs.
Fortunately, the absolute falsity Of
the report was so speedily and SO au-
thoritatively exposed that but little
damage was done, but it is quite pos
sible that the Federal authorities will
proceed against those responsible for
this last rash and stop-at-nothing eff
fort at stock jobbing, with its mis-

New York City.-Butter and eggs
are now stored in the warehouses Of
New York and vicinity in greater
quantities than ever before at this
time of year. Last years figures on
storage and prices made high records
up to that time, but they are exceed
ed by the totals of the present month.
Butter is now higher than 1t has been
in July of any other year since the
Civil War times.
The figures were contained in a re-
port completed from t~wenty-nine of
the thirty-two food warehouses in the
metropolitan district. This report
shows that 2,234,0 900 cases, each con-
tanning thirty dozens of eggs, are now
in storage, while a year ago the total
was 1,911,000 cases. Never before
has the total in these warehouses ey-
ceeded 1000, 900 cases in July.
Receipts of eggs have not been
greatly in excess of those of last year,
so some of the dealers infer that a
speculative movement has something
to do with the conditions. The re-
ceipts for the last two months have
been 2,417,000 cases, while in the
same two months of last year $780,
900 cases were received. The storage
of eggs began in April.
The best grades of eggs going into
storage are quoted at twenty-three
cents a dozen in car lots. They are
Western eggs, and two years ago SIM
liar grades were sold at eighteen
cents. Fresh Eastern eggs, which
are now quoted at twenty-four to
twenty-seven cents a dozen in the
wholesale markets, were sold for
twenty-five cents a year ago.
All the egg prices will be increased,
the dealers say, by the warehouse
expenses, interest charges and profit
when the eggs are taken from the
warehouses for consumption next fall
and winter.
The total amount of butter now in
storage in the metropolitan district
warehouses is placed at S~3,820,000
pounds. A year ago the total was
23,7S8,000 pounds. The receipts of
butter in the last two months have
amounted to $4,000 tubs of sixty
pounds each; last years total receipts
in the two months was $4,000 tubs.
The best grades of butter, called
Specials" were quoted at twenty
nine and a quarter cents wholesale,
which is two and three-quarter cents
a pound more than a year ago.

"St. Edward of RoXbury."

Edward Everett Hale was a doc.
tor of divinity, but he was not a
bishop or an archbishop. He held a
higher title, conferred by the suf-
frages of his fellows, who regarded
him as the first citizen of Boston. He
had nearly every title to renow that
may be conferred upon a minister OF
a layman by the common consent OF
the people. On the shortest notice
he would preach a better sermon,
make a better speech, write a better
story, and improvise a better poem
than any other man in the United
States. 1t would be a strange omis-
sion If the citizens of Boston and the
friends of DR.. Hale elsewhere should
neglect to provide a memorial of him
in the city in which he made his fame.

SLEW AMERICAN ACTRESS
Or. Crippin Took Flight After
Murder of Belle EImore.
Body Found Buried in a london Gel
lar Identified as That of q
Brooklyn Woman.

Observation-Disclosures gathered by
Scotland Yard detectives shows that
Mrs. Crippen, better known as Belle
Gilmore, the American actress, was
killed about midnight on February 2
in the cellar of the house at No. 80
Hilldrop Crescent, Islihgton. where
the body was found a week ago.
Screams and cries of Don't, oh,
DON'T" were heard at that hour and
on that date in the cellar of the Grip
pen house.
1t was also learned that for some
months previous to the disappearance
customed to engage In revolver prac-
tice in the garden In the real OF his
residence. No one has been found,
however, who heard revolver shots
on the night Of February 2, and this
fact would seem to s~ubstantiate the
theory Of DR.. Pepper, the Govern
ment analyst, that Mrs. Crippen was
killed by blows or the head from a
heavy instrument that crushed her
skull.
The information indicating that
Mrs. Crippen was killed in the cellar
OF the house serves TO clear up a point
that has been worrying the police,
namely how DR.. Crippen, who
weighed only about 100 pounds, could
get the body of his wife, twice his
weight, down into the cellar if he had
killed her on one of the upper floors.
There was also a puzzling absence Of
blood stains or any other indications
that a crime of violence had been
committed in the house proper.
The Scotland Yard theory now is
that the slayer decoyed his victim to
the coal cellar and struck her down
from behind. She vas a very power
full woman of great vitality and the
first blow did not completely stun
her. AS she cried for mercy she was
struck again and again, the skull be-
ing literally mashed to pieces.
Then in the s~eclusion of the cellar
the body was dissected, the larger
bones removed, the remains sprinkled
with quicklime and buried in the
hard clay soil. No trace has been
found of the bones. They were I'M
d%oubtedly burned at the leisure of
the SLAYER.

Philadelphia. - General Manager
w. H. Myers, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and the committees repre-
senting the Is, 900 trainmen and con-
ductors employed on the lines of the
road east of Pittsburg agreed on a ba-
sis for the settlement of the wage con-
%troversy. Each side says it has gained
all that it had been c~ontending for in
the negotiations which have been in
progress for the last six months and
which eliminated in the strike vote
by the employees. The settlement will
probably be extended to the Western
lines.
The proposition offered by the rail-
road officials and accepted by the men
includes a minimum day of ten hours,
as detailed in the New York Central
award. On certain runs where the
company's present rate is higher the
rate will not be disturbed.
The classification of these excep-
tional runs and the questions Of over
time were left to be decided at confer
ences between the various members
of the committees and the division su-
perintendents of the lines which they
represent.
1t was further agreed that twenty
six days work a month would be guar
anteed the men. While the men re-
gard this as a concession, the railroad
officials say that during the recent
hard times the men were benefited by
being worked on short time rather
than being laid off altogether.
Until the conference the railroad
officials, it was declared, were under
the impression that the men were
really demanding a ten-hour day with
eleven hours pay. But the company
stated that it had all along offered to
grant the standard rate, and was sat
isied not to reduce the pay of any Of
it's men if none was increased by the
New York Central award above that
of the standard rate.

Unfortunate with Daughters.

They raise large families in the
rural districts of America. A gentle
man travelling through the mountain
Gus and thinly settled districts OF
North Carolina was overtaken by a
sever storm.
AS he was on horseback, and there
fore quite unprotected, he beheld with
delight a log cabin in the district and
speedily betook himself thither. The
old farmer greeted him with true
Southern hospitality and he soon
found himself seated at the dinner
table, beside "the old woman" as his
host designated his wife, while one
by one a seemingly endless file OF
daughters entered the room.
Turning to the farmer, he mildly
observed: you have a fine family OF

A Young Woman Farmer.

A young woman in Massachusetts,
who was not worried by any surplus
of this worlds goods, resolved to be-
come a farmer. To begin with, she
took a three years course in the
State agricultural college at Amherst.
She had been advised to engage in
some sort of work that would keep
her out of doors, and she rented an
abandoned farm, borrowing the
money to pay the first instalment Of
the rent.
Last rear she worked only five
acres of the tract. She put those five
acres in garden truck, and she cleared
$3.50 on the enterprise. She figures
that she will clear as much as 5000
to the acre on this years farming op-
erations, and she has purchased three
horses and w hundred hens. She
is doing a fairly good business in
selling eggs So far, tomatoes have
been her most profitable crop, but she
has also made a good deal of money
by growing peas and corn. During
the vegetable season she makes daily
trips to Worcester, fifteen miles away,
where she sells her products. She
hires boys for ten cents an hour to
help her in the truck patch. She
keeps an account of all receipts and
expenses, and at the end of the year
she will know exactly where she
stands in a financial way.-Louisyille
