Who Is Owner
 Of 0r|ove's
 Stock Shares?
They Are His, but in Another's Name, Says Notice on Town Post

NF'orty-five shares of stock in the fSusman Orlove Company, large
 wholesale grocery firm, will be of ifered at public auction on July 29 according to a sign on the town post. The somewhat unusual feature of the proceeding is disclosed by the state lment in the notice. that the stock "be- l longs to George Orlove but is in the name of William Assuchkewitz.''
 MT. Orlove, who is secretary and ! treasurer of the Susman Orlove Com pany. was sued by the Union Bank of New York. Judgment being ob- tained, Sheriff Thomas Hamilton att tempted to attach 45 shares of stock, valued at $4.500 par, in, the Susman Orlove Company, and supposedly the property of MT. and Mrs. Orlove
 The sheriff served the notice of the attachment but couldn't find the stock, which, MT. Orlove claimed, no longer belonged to him, but had been sold and assigned to William Assusch- kewitz-
 Attorneys Beers & Foster, for the Union Bank, are proceeding on the ground that the stock really does be- long to Orlove, and is merely in the name of Assuschkewitz.

.l-aN Nose,


 The usual account of how Thack. cray was disfgured says that VenabIes broke the 1oyelist's nose in a fair fight. John Ward in Notes and Que r1es supplies another version. About year after Thackcray's death MT. Ward was travelling on one of the main railways and had as companions two old ladies who knew Thackeray well. One of them said the novelist had told them this story:
 Being one of the youngest pupils tat Charterhouse). he was chosen by one of the older lads, a rather proud ar1stocrat in his way, to act as his Tag. Thackeray bore it as we'll as he could. but demurred to some more ar bltrary command than usual and flatly refused to obey. whereupon the young 'aristocrat' caught Thackeray up, held his head under his arm and with the heel of his boot used as a hammer beat the beautiful aquiline nose quite Hat with his face-ino fact, breaking and injuring its structure completely the excuse being.

Strong War Talk : Between Kaiser
 And John Bull

London, July 25.-That the Ger. man government is expected to make a demand upon the Foreign Office for an official explanation and at the same time a. disavowal of the recent speech of David Lloyd-George, Chan cellor of the Exchequer, was admit ted. at the British Foreign Office, to- day Germany, 1t is explained, has been forced into this position by the attitude of the London newspapers which have quoted members of the cabinet as insisting that the speech was aimed directly at Germany.
 This. situation caused much nerv- ousness on the stock exchange, to- clined to believe that the German question is soon to become an issue fraught with the most dangerous pos abilities
 This fact is summed up by the Morning Post. today, which, in a leading editorial, says:
 Not since July. 1870, has the in ternational situation been as critical as it is at the present moment"
 The majority of British financiers believe that Germany is in deadly earnest and unless the situation is handled with the utmost diplomatic skill localities are certain to ensue. There is a big minority, however, in- clined to believe that Germany is stirring up the situation at home to give the government a strong posi- ton until after the elections to the Reichstag.
 Lloyds is, of course, alarmed. It usually is at the first whisper of trouble and all ship owners have been warned that the present insur- ance rates will not hold so far as war risks are concerned, after August 15.
 One point being emphasized on all sides is that if war does result it will come with a suddenness that will Startle the entire world. The day of protracted negotiations, ending with the handing over of his passports to the ambassador of the aggrieyed pow CT, has passed.

New York Court UphoIds His Rights as COnservator of Mrs. Lawrence

 who is now fighting in New York fol the removal of her conservator
 supreme Court Justice Gavegan yes- terday decided that Judge Banks con- servatorship must be recognized by the New York courts that point hay Ing been decided on numerous occa- slons in New York. In line with this decision, he granted a motion to re- strain the law firm of Kellogg & Rose rom appearing as counsel for Mrs. Lawrence. This motion was made by Juoge Banks on the ground that he alone had the right to represent Mrs. Lawrence
 The court also refused the motion or Mrs. LaWrence'S counsel to appoint a guardian for her in New York. This re1usal was on technical ground, however and the court pointed out serving a notice on Judge Banks and beginning again, in which case the appointment of New York guardian Tor Mrs. Lawrence is a possibility.
 In the meantime sS0,OOO cash. be- longing to Mrs. Lawrence, is still at the Mount Morris bank. The bank has applied to the court several times to find out whom it should be paid to Mrs. Lawrence claims it,-it is hers but her conservator, Judge Banks thinks that he should have the han ding of it.
 While this point, is in dispute, the oank wants the court to take the money, but the court has refused. So the unfortunate bank must keen the cash until the cruel war is over.

R. R. FREIGHT RATES ORDERED REDUCED IN SWEEPING DECISION
 BY INTERSTATE COMMISSION

Washington July 5.-Substantial
 reductions in freight rates affecting practically every railroad in the United States with the exception o1 those operating in certain parts o1 Southern territory, and covering prac- tically every article in interstate com
 merce. have been ordered in decisions
 just handed down by the Interstate
 Commerce Commission. The orders are based upon what are known as
 the Reno, Spokane, Salt Lake and similar cases.
 The defendants specifically named are the Union Pacific, the Northern CT transcontinental lines, and ap- proximately all of the transportation business from coast to coast is em- braced in the readjustment of rates required.
 In the Reno and related cases the carriers have until October 15 to put the reduced rates into effect. Novem- Der 15 is the date fixed by the com mission for reductions by railroads affected by the decision in the Spo- kane and related cases. The commits sion's orders will become effective on the dates named unless the carriers obtain the issuance of a restraining order by the Commerce Court.
 Roughly estimated the reductions amount to 20 per cent. Hundreds of thousands of rates are involved. The cases are of such magnitude that even members of the commission are unable to indicate precisely just how many rates or the amount involved in a given group, will be affected by the decisions.
 In these cases the commission for the first time established freight zones, which are described. Under present conditions a commodity rate from the Missouri River to Spokane is the rate. from a Missouri River place to the Pacific Ocean plus back haul from the Pacific coast places 10 Spokane. From the Missouri River to certain intermediate places east ward from the Pacific coast the com mission prohibits a back haul charge
 The Spokane case in one phase or other has been pending before the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-25

commission for more than ten years
 and involves the long and short haul
 problem, which has sorely vexed the
 commission. Tn June last the com
 mission, acting on the Spokane case
 ordered reductions in class rates but left the questions of commodity rates
 open on the ground that the estab-
 lishment of commodity rates to the complaining places which were fixed by the commission would require an extensive readjustnfent of rates to other communities.
 The carriers insisted that the result ing loss in revenue would be so great as to deprive them of proper return on their investment and that therefore the commission should not and could not lawfully put the proposed reduc- tion into effect.
 At the time the commission ad- mitted that 1t had only "a very gen. eral and unsatisfactory estimate'l as to what loss in revenue would be, en- tailed by changes in rates. In order to obtain an accurate account of the revenue losses certain representative months were selected and the rates suggested by the commission were ap- piled to the business actually moving to the places concerned Treating these months as fairly typical, the annual loss upon traffic to these places was determined.
 The commission employed a corps Of experts, who in cooperation with officers representing the transconti- mental carriers, made a comparison of the old with the proposed new rates.
 Commenting upon the figures de- duced, which are not given out, the commission says:
 We have before us, therefore. fg- ures showing with substantial accu- racy the total loss which would result to the defendants if the rates suggest ed by the commission were to be made effective, provided the move ment of traffic continued the same, and we find nothing in these figures which would incline us to change our opinion as to the reasonableness of the suggested rates or deter us from putting those rates into effect''

LYRIC THEATRE

Yesterdays two performances al Lyric Garden Theatre of the dramatic
 romance of Massachusetts shore life
 Master and Slave, was witnessed by
 big houses and aroused interest to a
 pitch that bordered on enthusiasm.
 There are four acts of action, brisk
 dialogue and exciting situations that
 hold the audience from start to finish
 Master and Slave is a plain narra-
 tive of plain people, very much simi-
 liar to James A. Herne's famous
 Shore Acres, and it is just such
 plays that appeal directly to the
 masses. Without a problem or a vast
 depth, of a plot attached to it, it is
 yet one of those human affairs that more than pleaseS, a pure and sim Die stage sermon that signalizes the right and wrong paths of life, and is in reality a reflect of humanity as it is experienced, and not in the form of fiction, or anything suggestive Of the impossible. The entire company, whom in last weeks performance made individual impressions, have in every way excelled themselves in
 Master and Slave, particularly Miss June. Agnott, in the character sou brette role of Chick, a driftwood child of the beach, gave a striking performance that at once recalled the pest efforts of the late Annie Pixley, also Sadie Hasson and other star sou brettes of earlier times. William A. Scheller again showed his ability in the part of the slave in the power Of the heartless Norman Oak, excel lently played by Edwin Varney. Miss Louise Ripley, in a part directly op- posite to that which she portrayed last week. again displayed her astistic range. and the comedy work of Joe Forster as Larry was, as usual, full of ginger. and his every entrance 3 signal for laughter. Miss Hazel carleton gave fetching performance of girl whose confidence had been misplaced and won the hearts of the audience by her simplicity and modest narnerisms. Stanford Anderson, a l new member of the Dorner company, l proved himself an actor of worth, and | may be classed with the balance of | his efficient company Joseph D. | Clifton, who personally staged and, produced this splendid play, was also 'een as the father of Chick, a typical | 'seadog", whose father-love was mas erly pictured. The daily changed se- ies of motion pictures, shown be- Ween acts, are always big feature 1t the Lyric
