Increase Is Expected.

The department recommended that a 10 per cent increase be granted, but congress refused it. The per cent increase became effective July 1, 90 that the railroads probably never will be reimbursed directly for having car ried the parcel post business between Jan 1 and June 30.
 The expectation of department of ficials is that congress will authorize a further increase on account of the parcel post in the postoffice appropri- ation act of the December session.
 In their appeal the railroads say that, as the postoffice is conner cial service, it should pay as much as if it were/a private company. The roads, they say. cannot be expected to perform service for the people col lectively at less rate than would be expected for the same persons indi- viduaully.

POSTOFFlCE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT RELEASE CLOVER LEAF
 FROM CONTRACT.
CASE NOT TO GO TO COURTS
Railways Have Received No Compen. sation for Extra Parcel Post Service Between Jan. i
 and June 30.

Washington, Aug. S.-The postof- flee department in refusing to permit the Toledo, St. Louis & Western Glover Leaf) Railroad company to break its contract for hauling United States mail cites the fact that con- gress fixes the compensation for this service, and that on account of the overtaxed parcel post business and size of packages congress is expected to raise the rate of pay.
 The Clover Leaf operates between Toledo and East St. Louis.
 This company's contract will not expire for two years, and the depart ment has informed the management that discontinuance will not be per. mitted, but that the interests of the government and of the public, as well as those of the railroad, must be con- sidered.
 Negotiations between Second As sistant Postmaster-General Cookery and the railroad management are in progress, and department officials arc confident that the trouble will be ad. justed without the necessity of taking it into the courts.

No Extra Compensation.

As a general proposition, officials believe the railroads are receiving reasonable compensation. It is admit ted that some roads receive consider ably more than others, but this is ow- ing to conditions over which the de- partment has no control.
 At various times attempts have been made by radicals in both house and senate to have the present com pensation of the railroads cut down The policy of the department for many years has been to allow the railroads the maximum compensation authorized by congress.
 All this is aside from the new par. eel post system. The railroads have received no additional compensation since Jan. l, for carrying the in creased volume of mail due to that service The last postoffice appropri- ation act authorized an increase of 5 per cent on account of the parcel post.

 President Wilson, through Secre- tary of State Bryan, has made it very clear that he does not expect any in reference with Lind. In telegram sent to the American embassy, the secretary of state wires:
 You may say to the minister of foreign affairs that Lind comes to Mexico on a mission of peace, and that the president feels sure his pres. ence there will contribute toward a settlement of the difficulties. The Mexican government should await the presidents communication and not give weight to misrepresentation published in sensational newspapers. |" Welcomed by Business Men.
 The administration has received a long confidential report from the en- bassy in Mexico City. It is under stood it states that while there has been opposition expressed to Lind S coming in circles close to Huerta, the great mass of the business men in the capital welcome the move They are hopeful that it will bring some de- cisive result.
 Persons who have been following the situation very closely for the last few days believe that the Huertaites are bluffing in their pretensions that , they will oppose any suggestion to bring about peace that does not carry with it recognition of the present de facto government. The fact that the government is being run at a great loss and the deficit in the national treasury is getting larger every day is one of the big factors in the present situation.
 Secretary Bryan received a tele- gram from Lind stating that he had sailed on the battleship New Hamp- shire from Galveston.

MODISH DRESS DEVILS WORK
Chicago University Professor Says Fashionable Gowns Are Menace to
 Morals of Citizens of City.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Fashionable gowns were called a menace to city morals by Prof. Allan Hoben, in a lec- ture at the University of Chicago. He told the divinity students that a wom- an who dressed stylishly today was certain to be harmful.
 According to the present mode, for woman to be we'll dressed would be to be measurably harmful" asserted Prof Hoben. "Women have diverted the attention of men from their faces to their forms. The tendency is to distract attention from their counte- nances to other parts of their form which emphasize sex This Is ex- tremely unfortunate.
 q deem it a grave offense for wom- en to increase the temptations of young men living under the strain of city life. They should not follow the dressmakers who insist on these styles. They can do great deal to increase this sex suggestion"
 The professor asserted the slit skirt and diaphanous gowns are works of the devil"

Washington, Aug S.-The north end of the capitol building looks like the upper deck of a summer hotel. The veranda is always filled with roomy wicker rocking chairs occupied by senators who weary of the tariff de- bate and seek to keep cool.
 The idea originated with Sergeant at-Arms Higgins. He "baited" the place with two or three rockers and waited to see how the scheme worked. It was so popular the building could not meet the demand

M 'CORM|CK PUT OFF TRAIN
BULL MOOSER JAILED AT SYRIA
 CUSE, CLAD IN PAJAMAS.
Was Formerly Publisher of Chicago Tribune-Says Trouble Was Due
 to Alteration With Companion.

Syracuse, Aug S.-A man who said he was Medill Mccormick, formerly publisher of the Chicago Tribune, and a Bull Moose leader of Illinois, was arrested by Syracuse police on com plaint of New York Central officials, after he had caused disturbance on an eastbound train for Boston. He was thrown from a sleeper by an an gry porter, alighted in Syracuse clad in his pajamas, and spent sev- eral hours in a cell and was arraigned on charge of intoxication.
 Owing to the reticence of the police, because of their fear they had made a bad blunder, news of McCormick's plight did not become known at once.
 The police at first were not disposed to believe his story, but subsequent facts proved his identity beyond doubt
 According to the story told by Me Cormick, he had spent several pleas ant hours with the president of the Pullman company on board the train. He finally retired, undressing before getting into his berth.
 The next thing he knew was when he awoke in a police cell at headquar- ters in this city, he said.
 The porter who caused McCor- mick's election from the sleeper told the police who made the arrest that he had been causing such a disturb ance in the sleeper that other trav- elers were unable to sleep. They asked his election.
 When arrested Mccormick wore simply his pajamas. He appeared in police court before Judge Shove dressed in pajamas, shoes, stockings and trousers.
 Mccormick has given out this state ment:
 Tt is as unnecessary as it is futile to deny gossipy stories of intoxicatiQI. At Ishpeming we had an example of that sort of rot I spent the evening on the train with MT. Runnells, presi- dent of the Pullman company, and an old friend of mine, and later joined some of the train crew, with whom there resulted a discussion which has been productive of the nonsensical yarns about myself.
 These gentlemen and I did not agree and it became not merely dis cussion. but an altercation, with re- suits which know they now regret far more than I. I think it unneces- sary for me to say more to the men who have worked with me in AS states and who wish to believe that it is bet ter to suffer a little in the cause of common humanity than to engage in law suits"

AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Services in the Presbyterian

which induced him to make the
change from a mechanical engineer
to divinity student and his desires
to ultimately be a foreign mission
ary. Mr.. Vanderlaam took for his
subject the Gospel of Person, and

Jesus Christ. Mr.. Bloom told of
his experiences in religious work
while in Nebraska and Mr.. DeYoung
on christianity in Action" urging

POWDER WORKS
ARE SHUT DOWN
Unable To Continue After Ex-
plosion-Cause Unknown.

AS a result of the explosion which
killed three men at the plant of the
International Proeposit Company at
Millville near Bonhamtown Satur.
day morning, the powder works are
practically closed up. Employees are
afraid to return to work. The exact
cause of the accident will probably
never be known according to G. e.
Belient, head Of the concern, as the
only three in the powder pressing
room where 1t occurred, are dead.
Herbert Bradley and Leo Snyder,
who operated the machine used to
press the powder into cakes, were
killed instantly. Charles Bradley,
father of Herbert and superintendent
of the works, was so horribly burned
that he died three hours later at st.
Peters hospital in New Brunswick.
Brave to the End.
The elder Bradley's last hours
were heart rending. He bore up won
derfully brave to the end and was
conscious until death relieved him of
his agony. The force of the explo-
sion had torn every stitch Of clothes
from his body, rendered 1t black and
hurled him into nearby field. AL
bert Marsh, superintendent Of the
Raritan Bridge Clay Company, who
was the first one by his side, found
him crawling on his hands and knees
crying weakly for help. 1t was at
the risk of his life that Mr.. Marsh
ventured near him while the fire was
raging within fifty feet of the pow
der magazine.
"Not Badly Hurt"
When found Mr.. Bradley was we'll
able to talk and concluded that he
was not badly hurt, So benumbed
was he from the force of the explo-
sion that he did not feel any pain.
'My God,' he said, show did 1t hap
pen? How did l get hurt?" AS he
gasped for breath he continued: 81
guess my leg Is broken, but I will be
all right in little while" Mr..
Marsh wrapped him into some blank
cts and started with him for his au-
tomobile. Arriving at 1t, the injured
man said, never mind helping me.

lapsed in the attempt.
