is that OF the Bourne bill. slightly

The senate committee struck out
the provision giving postal employees
the right to combine in labor unions

An important feature Of the bill Is
that the regular hours which the pos

shall not extend over period of more
than ten consecutive hours This will
be effective March 4. 1919.

declared the committee had been un.
fair TO a parcels post bill he had in
troduced and denounced the Bourne
plan as a 'mockery. He criticised It's
limitations and declared its effect
would be 10 give the railroads higher

mill, was raided and destroyed yester-
day by Patrolman Lawler and some
employees of the mill The headquar-
ters was a cave or dugout between the
mill race and the river. 1t was cov-
cred with sheet iron and clay and then
sodded. being substantial enough to
support team of horses. The sides
were built up of two-by-fours and very
cleverly covered with earth. A smoke
stack projected from a fire place in
the cave through the roof, and was
made so that cooking could be done
The work OF building the dugout was
eleveriy done. showing that it was
planned for a permanent gathering
place for the winter where the gang
could play cards or hold social gather
ings of any kind. The raid was the
result OF complaints sent in from the
officials at the mill where the lum-
Der had been stolen and it is believed
that coal had also been confiscated by
the owners. The work Of DESTROYING
the cave with cTow-bars took over a
half hour. 4 similar cave was de-
stroyed near the same place last year

FIRST PAINTING OF
M0SLER FOUND HERE
Picture Found in Attic of w.
L. Thomas and Will Be
Given to Artist.

( In the attic of the home of William
l.. Thomas, head OF hose company No.
2, prior to the outbreak of the Civil
war, has been found a banner painted
by Henry Mosler, recognized as one of
the greatest artists of the present
day. The banner was the first paint
ing of Mosler's for which he was paid.
The banner is now hanging in the
Second National Bank and within a
few days will be sent to Mr.. Mosler's
studio in New York City.
Mosler, who is native of Richmond,
painted the banner in 1858 for the old
No. Quaker City fire company. The
banner was in the No. fire station
South Fifth street. for several years
and was afterwards taken down by
Mr. Thomas, who was foreman of the
No. ? company at the time the paint
ing was made.
Finds Banner.
DR.. David II. Dougan, of this city,
was in New York city recently and
called on Mr.. Mosler. The subject of
the first painting which the artist
made was broached and DR.. Dougan
stated that he would make an attempt
to locate it and send it to the artist.
After search of few days, DR.. Dou-
gan ascertained that the banner was
in the possession OF Mr.. Thomas. Mr.
Thomas was asked If he had the BAN
ner and replied that he believed it was
in his possession. After a careful
search of his home the old painting
was found in the attic 1t was neces-
sary to pin the canvas together. as it
had been torn in several places.
1t is remarkable fact that the
painting retained its colors and has
not faded in the least. Near the top
of the canvas are painted the words,
Welcome To Save" and at the bot.
tom, Quaker City No. q" Upon the
canvas is painted n female figure, sym.

ScHRANk IS SORRY.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 16-Prof
E. w. Semmes today expected to re-
port whether the bullets in the revol-
yer fired at Col Theo. Roosevelt, by
John Schrank, attempted assassin,
were poisoned. Prof. Semmes, toxicolo-
gist of Marquette University, worked
on his analysis and experiments with
the bullets throughout the night The
tests were made at the order of Judge
Neelen
Prof. Semmes made a number of
tests both on the unfired bullets and
on the revolver itself. The result will
be wired to the physicians attending
Col. Roosevelt in Chicago.
For the first time since the shooting
Schrank today exhibited some signs of
regret at his act
Il am sorry 1 shot," he told a depu-
ty sheriff at the county Jail where he
is held pending his trial Dec. 2.
He repeated the single sentence
over and over.
He slept fitfully during the night
Today he appeared more troubled than
he did yesterday. The strain of the sit
uation and the confinement have al
ready left their traces on him.
Since the first news that his attempt
to kill Roosevelt failed, Schrank has
shown little interest in the fate of his
intended victim.
Schrank has not asked to see the
newspapers. He has not read accounts
of the shooting and has not asked
whether Col Roosevelt is recovering.

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-THE Boston
American league champions won the
title of the worlds champions this af-
ternoon from the New York national
league champions in the tenth inning
in an intensely dramatic finish of the
most exciting and bitterly fought con-
test in the history of the worlds Sc
ries. 1t was hand to hand fighting from
the start to the gruelling finish, when
the great New York pitcher, Mathew
son, weakened and Boston drove in
two runs, cinching the victory. Bedi-
ent started for the Red Sox and work
ed brilliantly until the seventh, when
he was taken out to allow Hendrickson
to bat for him. The pinch hitter deliv-
cred with a double, driving in one run
and tying the score. The Giants took
one run lead in the tenth on doubles
by Murray and Merkle off Wood who
relieved Bedient, but Boston came
back gamely in it's half of the tenth
and counted two runs on a base on
balls, a costly muff by Snodgrass,
single by Speaker and a sacrifice fly.
The score:
