mediate Rise in Food
Prices.

London. May Z.-Once more London's
millions are threatened with an i'm
mediate rise in food prices to famine

more Will be idle for days; the whole
trade OF the port OF London. where l2C

supplies they can before the strike Is
fully operative. II the strike lasts any
time. the famine Is bound 10 be much
more acute than last year.
There has been no chance" said one
Of the leading meat market men, to-
night, ''of creating a reserve IN cold
storage. Last year when the dockers'
strike began the stores were full. This
year they are nearly empty"
The strike at present Is confined TO
London. but the officials threaten that
II an attempt Is made to divert the Lon
don trade TO other ports. or II they don't
get their demands satisfied soon. a ma
tional strike will be declared The men
involved include all those engaged in
handling the distribution Of seaboard
supplies, that is to say. the lockers,

Expected to Survive Illness
Many Hours.

Dayton. Ohio, May 2S.-wilbur Wright

night. and his death is momentarily ex-
pected. All OF the family. with the ex-

bedside. and the Kansas brother is COM
ing as rapidly as fast trains can carry
him.
Stricken with typhoid fever twenty-one
days ago, the famous inventor has been
making a hard but unsuccessful fight
against the end. though his physicians
bulletined early tonight that there is no
change in his condition. and that he has
a bare chance to recover.
Early to-day the patient lapsed into a
state Of delirium, followed by deep coma,
AMI the end was thought to be at hand.
He rallied slightly. however, his pulse
growing stronger as his temperature
rose, and tonight IL is thought he is not
losing any more ground, though his
physicians say change can be expected
momentarily. During a lucid interval
Wednesday, the patient expressed the
opinion that he had contracted the dis
ease from eating fish on a recent trip to
Boston.

State Philander c. Knox has been asked
by a committee OF New. York women
to send fast cruisers after the German

States marshal in this city Tuesday.
under extradition to answer to the
German authorities for her alleged
crime.
The women, supporting the plan to force
the German Secret Service men to release

OF a woman on the tramp steamer, but
is the only woman among forty-eight
passengers.
The petition is signed by Mrs. o. II.

Because OF the Importance OF the case
and the novel legal points which proba-

handles all the departments cases in the
United States Supreme Court, to appear
personally in the coffee suit.
II was denied here to-day that there Is

ment for an Official statement OF the case

request of Secretary Knox, the state
ment was prepared at the Department

They Were Gently soothed by the Kind

Nurses in English military hospitals
are rather apt to lay too much stress
on the advantages received by the pa
tents and their duty of thankfulness.
but still it is the poor soldier who suf-
fers most from always having his
causes to be grateful flung in his teeth.
Witness the following true story:
Chaplain-So poor Hopkins is dead.
I should have liked to speak to him
once" again and soothe his last mo-
ments. Why didn't you call me?
Hospital Orderly-I didn't think you
ought to be disturbed for 'Opkins, sir,
so just soothed him as best I could
myself.
Chaplain-Why. what did you say to
him?

A Beautiful Mixup.

Some years ago the first three horses
in the Lincoln handicap. famous
English race. were Oh. Dean Swift
and Roseate Dawn. A press agency
in London wired the result to an Aus
tralian paper as follows: Lincoln Oh
Dean Swift Roseate Dawn"
The subeditor who was in charge
had never heard of the Lincoln handi-
cap and for some time puzzled vairly
over this mysterious message.
Finally he came to the conclusion
that "Ob' must stand for "Obiit." the
Latin word used for expressing Il
death notice. He accordingly turned
out the following paragraph. which
duly appeared in print: I'VE deeply
regret to announce the death at Lin
coin Of the celebrated Dean Swift, the
author of that favorite hymn The
Roseate Hues of Early DAWN"
