GALLANTRY MAY PROVE FATAL
Woman's Suffrage Movement =,
France Suffers From Attitude of
Dandies and Washers.

Paris. -Gallantry may prove fatal
to the woman suffrage movement in
France. The first suffrage parade took
place here, but ended in failure ow-
ing to the attentions addressed to the
women by crowd of dandies and
Washers, both old and young Break.
ing through the lines, the men over
whelmed the women marchers with
their attentions, Sinking and bowling
and raising their hats. Finally the
leaders appealed to the police, and the
streets were. cleared of the Washers.
Then there was no one else left to
view the parade. and the women were
escorted to their hall where they
made speeches to one another.

Rudolph Van Vechten rose and
walked over to front window.
Come here" he invited Mr.. Flint.
And then. after the latter had quietly
joined him. he nodded toward Number
1913.
"See that house across the way?
Well. less than two minutes before my
friend and came up with the poor
chap lying in the alley, he emerged
from there. / am pretty certain, too,
that his departure was accompanied
by some sort of fracas-before the
door was opened, you know"
The network OF wrinkles marked a
narrowing Of the gray eyes, while Mr.
Flint subjected the unprepossessing
facade to long, searching scrutiny.
Then" he said at last, you were
following him. Why? Surely, not out
of idle curiosity?"
The young man shrugged his shout

Her In the day, while Mr.. Flint sank
into the one lately occupied by Tom
Phinney. III you can make anything
OF what ! have to tell you, you are
welcome to IT,"
He began with as much OF Number
1873 history as he knew, and, with
but two reservations, recounted every
thing down TO the moment that he and
Tom rushed from the club to overtake
the man killed at the alley intersec-
ton.
The detective listened with a marked
but respectful attention. not once in
terrupting the recital And when Van
Vechten had finished, Mr.. Flint asked
single question. His preoccupied
look remained upon Number 1919.

and whittier he fied?"
Van Vechten sat silent. unmoving,
his face a mask. Involuntarily now,
his mind once more fashioned a map
OF the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that carried
the fatal alley straight behind the
house across the way.
Il mentioned,' Mr. Flint was pursu-
ing, that this case offered some rath-
err extraordinary features. So far.
quite the most extraordinary is that
man was struck down on a populous
thoroughfare, in broad daylight, and
nobody saw the actual deed. Besides
the newsboy. there was a lady almost
directly across the street from the
alley, who witnessed from a window
the man sink to the walk But she
saw no one running from the scene"
Perhaps" murmured Van Vechten
perhaps no one did"
"Ah-to be sure" observed Mr.. Flint |
smoothly. "A crowd gathered very
quickly, l believe: what was easier
than to remain and mingle with it?
An old trick, Mr. Van vechten."
That young man did not meet the
swift oblique glance that swept his
immobile features. Mr.. Flint rose
slowly. and stood irresolutely finger

BLAME THE FARMERS.
Holding Crops for Rise in Prices
Which Continuation of European
War Is Sure to Bring. :.

Philadelphia, August %. - Food
prices showed tendency to advance
Yesterday, despite Federal and State
Investigations which are being con-
Quoted to determine whether dealers
have conspired to take advantage OIL
the war to boost prices. Sugar, wheat
and -four went up. Wheat scared to
.S1.25 bushel on the Chicago En-
cha, ge before noon yesterday, and
immediately after the rise in price
vas announced one of the biggest
mills in this section advanced the price
OF -four to 81 4 barrel.
The blame for the increase in grain
prices is placed by dealers on the
shoulders of the farmers On the adj
vice Of persons who are posted on
the foreign situation it is said the
farmers are storing their wheat, pre-
ferring to borrow money on it rather
than to sell outright. Brokers con-
versant with the grain market assert
that 300,000,000 mere bushels of
wheat than are needed for the home
supply are now stored in elevators
awaitinG further advances, which 4
continuation Of the European war is
almost sure to bring. The late wheat
crop this year was immense, and, in
the opinion of local brokers, practi-
cally the entire crop. instead Of being
marketed at home or abroad, was held
for the anticipated rise in prices.
If any sudden development which
should bring about peace in Europe
should occur the financial losses Of
farmers and spectators who are hold
ing the wheat would be enormous. a
continuation of present conditions
would tend to bring about just the
reverse resulting in enormous profits
for those who are holHing wheat,
Judging from the preJdnt outlook,
brokers' say that the only thing that
would bring about cheaper grain
prices in the United States would be
a Government embargo on grain ex-
ports.
