WORKHOUSE FOR LINCOLN MAN
]. ]. King, Found Asleep on Barber
Estate, Wanted to See BRYAN.

Selecting the Barber estate. at 14th
and Belmont streets. as a sleeping place
and insisting on seeing William Jennings
into the workhouse for a ninety day term
today.
King was found asleep on the grass last
night by Policeman Allen. it was testi-
fed. and objected to going to the station
house because he wanted to confer with
the Secretary OF State about a patent
which will cut railroad accidents to a
minimum in the future. He told the Of
ficer that he had just been to the home
Of the Secretary, and IL maid had told him
ne would not be at home until O'Clock
that evening.
I'm poor man" King said in court
today, and ! was afraid of the demon
capital. So seldom an inventor gets any
money from his inventions that l made
up my mind to come to see my old friend
Bryan before securing the services of any
lawyer. 1 thought he would be In position
to recommend an honest one.
Judge Pugh told King he would have
the story Investigated. and that while
this was going on King would have to
sojourn at the workhouse. III order a
mental investigation, too" the judge
added.
why don't you investigate Marconi
mentality" King demanded. AS he was
led back into the cellroom he shook his
fist at Judge Pugh and shouted. You
can't keep me here. This law Is uncOn-
stitutional, and I'll get writ of haDeas
corpus. l know the law better than you
do"

HEARING ON Demurrer
Mai. Beecher Rays AppIica.
ton for Injunction Answered
by War Department.

Secretary Garrison of the War Depart
ment and Assistant Secretary Brecken-
ridge, who We're named defendants in an
injunction suit flied in the Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia by Maj.
Beecher b. Ray. L. $. A., asking the
court to enjoin the defendants from tax
ing any steps toward certifying to Presi-
dent Wilson that any other officer is en-
titled to the position of deputy paymaster
general with the rank of lieutenant col
onel, have filed a demurrer in the case.
The case is to be heard by Justice
Barnard tomorrow. In the demurrer.
filed through District Attorney VIII
son and Assistant District Attorney
Huidekoper, the defendants say Maj.
Ray has no right emitting him to the
relief sought and that it appears upon
the face of the bill of complaint that
Mai Ray seeks to enjoin the President
in the performance of his official du-
ties.
1t is also claimed that the suit is
against the President of the United
States and as such cannot be maintained.
The demurrer states further that the
defendants have no personal interest in
the matter, and they ask for judgment
whether they shall be compelled to. make
any further answer to the bill of com
plant.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, August 4.-Whether corn
would go above 30 cents a bushel was
settled today in a minute. The market
shot up to that level on the very first
trade. and soon was far beyond. Drought,
already the most severe in twenty years.
promised to continue all the present week,
according to the government forecast.
AS result the volume of buying this
morning took on huge proportions. The
opening was % to lis higher than Satur-
day nights close. September, which start
ed at 20 to 7O1a, a gain of Is to 1, rose to
11A in almost vertical line
Other grain bulged promptly with corn.
Wheat was also affected bullishly by UNI
favorable harvest reports from southeast
ern Europe and by diminishing receipts
in the American northwest. September
opened a shade to 1sa14 higher at SS1s to
SSA and climbed to &c.
Oats developed Independent strength on
account OF assertions that thrashing re-
turns showed light weights and small
Yields to an unexpected extent. Septem-
Der started "a to rs up, at 43 to 43A, and
steadied around 432s
Provisions showed much irregular ity
Corn scarcity tended to make dista ant
options. but led to semi-panick1 weak
ness, in nearby deliveries. especially Sep
TENDER pork. which dropped Coo to 2O3O
First sales on the market as a whole
varied from BIZ off to liz advance. with
September as follows: Pork 2O5o1s to

Naval Holiday.
From Leslie's.


An entire cessation of navy building
the comparative rating of the powers
and would give them time to appreciate
the folly of the present system of
naval upbuilding. The suggestion Of
such a naval holiday for one year came
from Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty. in submitting
the British naval estimates to the
house of commons. MIR. Churchill de-
clared that this was the only way to
terminate one of the most stupid and
unnatural chapters in the history Of
European civilization" The method of
all nations increasing each year their
fiRhting force without any changes in
their relative positions is APPLY de-
scribed by the adjectives stupid" and
"unnatural" The limit Of endurance
will soon be reached. for even now the
burden has become almost unbearable.
Untold millions are being wasted
every year in ambitious naval pro-
grams without in the least altering the
relative fghting strength of the great
powers. A sense Of the humor Of the
proceeding ought of itself to call a
halt to such folly. I'VE address this
Churchill, "and to no nation with more
profound sincerity than to our great
neighbor over the North sea-" To be
most influential a movement in this
direction must come from the powers
Of Europe, where the policy of one
nation is so often looked upon with sus-
picion by the others. With Great
powers Of the old world. taking the
lead. the United States and all other
powers would gladly adopt the same
course.

GERMAN SOCIALIST PARTY
SCORES ANOTHER VICTORY
Elects It's Candidate From a District
Held for Thirty Years by
the Conservatives.
foreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
BERLIN, July 81, 1915:
The social democratic party has scored
another remarkable victory In the con-
stituency of Jucterbog it's candidate.
Ewaid, has defeated the conservative,
Won Oertzen. by S3j votes. The seat,
hitherto in possession Of the conserva-
tives. has been for nearly thirty years
holly contested by socialists, but hith-
erto unsuccessfully.
The victory of Ewald makes the num-
Der of socialist deputies in the reichstag
III, who. together with the parties of the
liberal left, form a majority of the reich
stag. namely. 2O3 liberals and socialists
against 1874 members Of other parties.
The victory of the socialists may be
attributed TO the increasing disgust of
the electorate at the selfish opposition OF
the conservatives to the Introduction of
imperial increment taxation and to the
extension of death duties to children.
Much. however. of the credit is due to
the extraordinary organization of the So
cialist party. and to the help rendered
them by radical liberals.
1t is doubtful. however. whether the
powerful pnalanx of socialists in the
relchstag WI. De very elective in stem
ming the tide Of militarlsm or in carry
ing through those measures advocated by
their party. The course of the recent
military bills was a proof of their inn
potence IN this direction. In their oppo-
sition TO these bills they practically stood
alone, every other party, with few ex-
ceptions. supporting the governments de-
mands on the national purse.
Parliamentary events of the past few
IN he
socialists are far too infiexible in their
attachment to dogma. and on the other
that the liberal parties have not vet CON
quered their dislike to cooperation with
the ''unpatriotic" party. Among the rank
and file of the socialists a movement is
beginning for some pronounced action
which would display the alleged indiena-
ton of the working classes against the
crushing burdens resting on them. There
is some loose and very dangerous talk of
a general strike as the most telling step
which could be taken with this end in
view.

NEW YORK, August Anew low rec
ords for the present movement OF cotton
prices We're established this morning
when the market opened barely steady
and partially points lower The heaviest
selling was by leading interests EeTe who
were conspicuous buyers before the gov
eminent report came out.
In absence OF Liverpool cables. the at
tention of traders centered on Texas news.
which indicated light rains yesterday. but
none today. A low barometer over Flor
ida however. and another over Arizona
made sentiment bearish and prices later
showed net loss of to . points.

WARSHIPS NOT DESIRED
Kaiser Popular With Norwegians
But They Dislike Naval Display.
'eign Correspondence Of The Star.


CHRIsTIANIA. July %. 1913.
Although the kaiser personally is ex-
tremely popular i'm Norway, which he has
visited every summer for twenty-five
years. and Norwegians are loath to do
anything that might offend him. vet the
display of German maritime power which
frequently takes place off the Norwegian
coast has not unnaturally provoked a
good deal of comment in the press. This
year a fleet composed of no less than
thirty German men-of-war will be cruis-
ing of the west coast and will assemble
in Sogne fjord when the kaiser and King
Haakon meet there to unveil the colossal
statue Of Fridtjoff. which the kaiser has
presented to Norway.
1t is not difficult to read between the
lines that this display of naval power in
Norwegian waters has aroused much dis
satisfaction. and after the Festivals are
over 1t Is quite possible that steps will
be taken to limit fleet maneuvers Of for
eign warships. 1t is laid down by the
existing rules that only three warships
time. although exceptions are provided
for larger number Of vessels escorting
