Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves. their children and the
farm hands.

will not give way. Dreyfuss is non
committal, as is Robson, while Presi-
dent Dovey of B ,ston is with Dreyfuss
to a finish.
Murphy, Ebbets and Brush are not
pleased by the attitude taken by Herr
man and Dreyfuss toward the American
league. They claim the National league
should do their business in their own
way without interference from Ban
Johnson's league. The position that
President Johnson took in the last
election for president was referred to,
and the orators declared they could
handle their own business without any
help.

the odds are almost certain to go to

Wolgast has made many friends on

the game give him royal chance to

are entitled to long odds for their mon

other and each is looking eagerly to the
time when some Of this spite can be
taken out under the Queensberry doc

Holders Of more than $4,000 worth of
tickets to the Zbyszko- Mahmout wrest-
ling match who were compelled to
stand in the mud OF Wabash avenue
Monday night while the bout was in
progress, yesterday started a storm of
protest against the free and easy tao
tics of the Empire Athletic club that
probably will prevent that organiza-
ton from giving such exhibitions in
the future.
The fact that there were rumors of
frame ups and lay downs concern
ing the match only served to make the
situation of the club. which cleared a
small fortune out Of the exhibition.
still more serious in the eyes of the
police although they will take no ac-
ton on this phaseof tn situation
Investigation of the hundreds of
complaints that followed the match
yesterday disclosed the fact that the
promoters of the bout took in not less
than $4,000 at the box office of the
Coliseum. Further investigation how
ever, disclosed the fact that not hair
of the ticket purchasers ever reached
the seats for which they had paid So
OF still greater Importance. from the
police viewpoint, was the discovery that
at no time in the arrangements for the
bout had there been as many seats in
the Coliseum as were represented by
the tickets Sold
All of these facts were revealed by
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler
who made an investigation on his own
account yesterday after witnessing the
acts of violence that took plae in front
of the Coliseum among those who
fought to get into the building.
The result of his investigation will
be that future promoters of similar
events must put up bonds guaranteeing
the public against a recurrence of Mon
days affair. Moreover, it is probable
that recommendation will be made to
Chief of Police Steward that the EN-
pire club be given no further permits
to hold wrestling bouts under any con-
apparent that but a fraction or the
holders of seats would be able to get
into the Coliseum. Every aisle was
crowded and there was a mos in the
street that precluded the possibility or
getting within fifty feet of the main
of the Coliseum.
To make the situation still worse
there was an inexperienced force of
ushers at work /on the inside who
either were unable to. find seats or
found it more profitable not to do So
they professed to be unable
to find the seats that actually belonged
to ticket holders, khey brazenly offered

was enthusiastically made yesterday
by the SS5 delegates reporting at the
second days sessions of the fifth BIZ
ennial National convention of the

POLICE WELD sAsREs
Ride Down Groups of Strikers At
Berlin

Berlin, Sept 29.-"suppress distur-
Dances without mercy" were Police
Commissioner Won Jagows orders
yesterday. The police followed out
their instructions to the letter. They
rode down and sabred mercilessly
wherever a small group of people had
gathered in the district of Moabit.
For two days this district has been
the scene of riots, the like of which
have not been witnessed in many
day. Hundreds have been injured
and battles have occurred at every
street corner and open place in the
Moabit precinct.
The result of the severe repressive
measures taken by the police was
that scores of persons whether partic
ipants or lockers or mere passersby
were bruised or wounded during the
course of the Reuter- Telegram COM
pany, the New York Times, the New
York World and the New York Sun
were among the victims.
While they were watching the pro-
gress of events from a motor car the
police swept down upon them with
drawn sabres, apparently without
provocation. The Reutre representa-
tive was wounded severely in both
hands while the other correspondents
We're badly bruised. They we're saw
ed from further injury by dashing at
full speed ito the nearest first all
station, where their wounds were
bandaged
From FIVE o'clock in the evening,
every saloon in the locality was clos
ed by orders of the authorities. Or.
ders we're also given that windows
of houses must remain closed, other
wise the police would fire whether
with or without provocation. Owing
to the demolition Of the street lamps
the police carried magnesium torches
the glaring light which heightened
the effect of the riotous scenes.
In spite Of the strictness with
which the cordons were maintained
the strikers and their sympathizers
held meetings at the street corners
which in several instances caused
bloody fights. The police charged
furlously and beat down the work
men on every side. In this way they
rode through Emdener-Strasse and
| Turm-strasse which we're blocked
with excited yelling crowds. Whef
the police had passed dozens of per
sons lay severely wounded on both
sidewalks.
A Goa wagon driven by strike
breakers under police protection was
attacked and the police replied with
volleys from their revolvers. Sever
al thousands marched in procession
through the Kleiner Thiergarten car
rying a red flag The police dashed
at full speed among the paraders cut
ting down and galloping over them
II Is estimated at this place alone
more than hundred were severely
wounded.
