GIRL RESIGNS
 RATHER THAN BE
 STRIKE BREAKER
Miss Dorothy Culley Refus- es to Aid U. M. c. Co. to
 Down Striking Printers
Great Indignation Among Employees When Girl sIs Discharged for Plucky Action.

For refusing to act as strike breaker in the printing department of the Us M. C.. Go, Miss Dorothy Culley of 475 Arctic street was conn ,pelled to resign from her position ayesterday. When the facts became known about the factory there was great indignation among the erl- ployes, who felt that unfair tactics had been used in asking a girl To help break the strike.
 Miss Culley had been employed for some time as one of the assistants 70 Purchasing Agent John c. Stanley of Laurel avenue. She had previously done clerical work in the printing de partment and was familiar with the routine of that section. When labor troubles arose in the printing depart ment and the printers walked out, several girls from the factory were asked to take the places of the men but all refused.
 Then Miss Culley was ordered to act as strike breaker She refused to do so and was given five minutes to obey the order or else lose her position She gave her resignation immediately and walked out of the plant The girls action was applauded by her fellow employees.
 The trouble arose in the printing department about a week ago. Stiles l.. Northrop. who had been foreman for years. was deposed to make j place for Daniel Taft, who formerly conducted a shop in this city. North rop was popular with the men and when he was forced out the printers declared they would not work for the new foreman. So they walked out in sympathy with Northrop.
 Since then the company has ex- perienced difficulty in getting the work done and girls from other parts help out. Miss Culley was seen q, her home today by a Farmer report er. She declined to say anything about the matter and would not ad- init that she had any trouble with the B M 4Cs officials.

With Loaded Pistol Little Barefoot Urchin Stood Ready 10 Kill
 Policemen
Taken Unawares He is Bitterly AssaiIed by Little Comrades Because He Didn't Shoot to kiII--FrankIy Tells
 His Story to Police

An early morning passerby at the Imperial Moving Picture Theatre, Stratford avenue and Kossuth street, came quietly upon a ragged. barefoot urchin at 6 o'clock today, and stopped for moment to observe the actions of the little chap
 He glanced over the lads shoulder and saw that he was toying with a handsomely mounted pearl handled pistol. The pistol was "broke" and the child was extracting the bullets. What are you doing, sonny" ask ed the man.
 The youngster strAightened up like a steel spring, and tried to throw the pistol barrel in place. The man snatched the weapon from him, and grabbed the boy by the arm. T ought to have known better than give you the drop on me like that, " afterthought, he yelled, "Oh.. Oh!'' Whats that for?'' interrogated the interested passerby.
 That's to let my pals make a get away" rejoined the little captive. 'fThey's gone by this time.''
 Leading the lad to the nearest teIe- phone the man informed the police of what had transpired.
 The automobile patrol wagon from police headquarters with several po- licemen aboard were dispatched to the scene. They surrounded the theatre, and making a vigilant search, finally brought to light another boy, older, but not yet in his teens He bitter ly upbratded the little fellow for mak- ing fiz7le pf their burglary.
 When the little tWain reached police headqnar the police began to real- l l. -.<. most unique band of outlaws. The little fellows. with another who is now sought. had broken into no less than four places over night, and from one Of them had taken a considerable amount of costly automobile equip ment Part of it was recovered, and part of it was carried off, by the miss ing member of the trio.
 The two prisoners gave the names of John Wargo and Frank De Romano. Wargo is 12, lives at tSteuben Court, and goes to Room IA of the Walters vile school. His father is labor CT. De Romano is 8, lives at 75a Pembroke street. and goes to Room 10 of the same school.
 They talked with unusual frankness, ard told all about their doings and plans They showed no penitence, apparently in utter ignorance of the grave nature of the charge of burglary against them, and repeatedly the smaller prisoner reiterated that he would have shot the policemen if he had only been given a chance at them.
 He talked gli'bly of the use of fire arms and knives.
 stIll take chance with anybody with a stabber. if have a gun said little Frank. TT can shoot faster than anyone can stab; if anybody tries to stab me I'll kill him. He illustrated Y1nnuaYnHnfr ho WnI1ld CO through to carry out his fell pur- Apse.

HAM LEWIS DEMANDS MORE
 FOR BEAUTY

Chicago. July 27.-Here's ]. HamiI- ton Lewis theory about women of beauty. He voiced it when he de- manded $500 month alimony for Mrs- Florence E. Kirkpatrick, who was seek ing separate maintenance from Wal ter E. Kirkpatrick, former traction magnate and now a railroad man
 eff 8 man weds an invalid sweet heart" said J. Ham, ''it is expected he will nurse her through life. If he marries a frail girl it is presumed that he will concede her every comfort in her weakness. But if he marries a beautiful woman, if the woman yields her unusual charms to monopolization by one man. we demand that he clofhe and house and establish her and that even gifts from Heaven shall not 1su.- guish unappreciated. The naked jewel must have it's setting The rose must have it's perfume. The masterpiece must have it's. fame. The world must have it's beautiful women with their gowns, jewels their expensive hats and tidy shoes and soft attention."
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick obtained the aii- mony

Mrs. Marcus Gone: MT. Marcus
 Is Care Free

New York, July 27-Mrs. Dorothy Marcus, California ranch girl, wife of William Elder Marcus, Jr., the mill lionaire jeweler of Montclair, was not at her New Jersey home last night, and Marcus today confirmed reports of his wife's desertion
 He apparently was not worried a bit and intimated that he was not making any effort to trace her. Dis patches from Pasadena, Cal, the home of George B. Cooksey, father of the runaway wife and mother said he was not at home and added that Califor- mia friends of the woman were not surprised at her action, as she was reared in the open with small atten- ton to the conventions. When she disappeared, last Wednesday,, Mrs. Marcus left a note for her husband saying she was lured by the call of the wild, that she never really loved him and that she could endure domes- ticity and social life no longer She left behind her two small daughters.

AMENDED SUGAR BILL LIKELY TO
 PASS SENATE

Washington, July 27-;Wfth the pro- gressive Republican-Democr coali- ton still holding good, it was general ly conceded when the Senate met to- day, under an agreement to vote on the Democratic free sugar bill before rightfalI, that the measure would be carried in an amended form. The Senate Democrats will not support a straight free sugar bill but will en- dorse drastic cuts in the present tar iff
 The measure provides for free raw sugar, abolishes the duti $ standard of color and the differentials. tt is a companion piece in a. legislative way, to the excise bill, passed by the Sen ate, last night. Because free sugar means big cut in revenues, the Dem ocrats planned the excise bill to ere ing the deficit cost of free sugar.
 The Republican attack on the sugar bill was led by Senator Lodge, Of Massa chusetts. He declared that the we'll considered opinion of the world had been that a nation should be in- and asserted that, with a few more years of protection, the United States would be in this position
 Every civilized nation today im- poses "a tax upon sugar. Lodge as- serted "The tax is paid largely by LIlOSG D0SI dUi0 LO pay, DcCduSC t1CS are the purchasers of the many arti- cles of luxury into the composition of which sugar enters.
 Contrary to the general view of all economists and of all civilized nations, the House has thought it judicious to take sugar from the list as 9, revenue producer. The theory Of free sugar as embodied in the House bill. if they had theory extending beyond the collection of votes, would appear to have been that, if the sugar duty were removed. the entire benefit would come to the consumer
