OCTOBER ROSES
By Scudder Middleton

The gold and song of Summers dead And ruby-lipped the Autumn sings, No longer blooms the wild rose red, But still the rose october brings: She touched the maple with her

 And rosy red each leaf became, To bloom again ere Winter filings His snowy scarf upon the flame.

By victor starbu04l Rain on the barren fields The silvery cascade writhes ana
 flutes and misses, 1 And the drought-scarred meadow tremBles and smiles and yields Her face to the storm-clouds
 kisses. Rain on the scythe-swept earth Where the grass stands dead be-
 fore and the stubble after, And the dry weeds dance and sway with a pagan mirth, And the furrows shout with k laughter. Rain on the tindery roofs That fills with gurgling song the
 streets and the alleys Rain with a sound like the batter of
 luIlnlIeSlual nOOIS Through blossoming valleys. Rain on the gullied hills Rain, at last. in the splendid
 abundance of giving, And the dry, dead earth awakens
 again and thrills With the passion of living. Rain in the face-the heart Rain of love on the spirits sin
 Charred embers, And the mind stands smillng'
 a-dream, a space apart, But the heart remembers.

SAYS INDUSTRIAL PEACE
. DEPENDS ON JUSTICE
Secretary of Labor Wilson Addresses
American Federation at Phila-
delphia Convention.
PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, November 90
There can be no permanent industrial
peace that is not based on industrial
Justice" declared William B. Wilson,
Secretary of Labor, today to the dele
gates of the American Federation of
Labor, when introduced to the convention
by President Gompers as Our Bill"
and addressing the delegates as Eel
low trade unionists"
secretary Wilson said that he had
been criticised for certain statements
he had mAde at the federation's con-
vention at Seattle last year, and de.
ciared that he reaffirmed what he said
there, and he would not change one
little OF the statement that every title
TO property is a law-created and a
law-protected title.
The Secretary said he also had been
accused of partisanship in conductine
his department. IF securing Justice to
those who earn their living by the
sweat OF their face is partisanship," he
exclaimed, then count me a partisan n
on the side of the man that labors."
Mr.. Wilson, in telling of the work of
his department, said that the last wear
and a half it had handled scores of
trade disputes, and that all have been
settled, with the exception of a Pere
Marquette strike and the strikes at
Calumet and in Colorado.
the department. he added. takes the
STAND that the employer and the en-
ploye have mutual interest in creating
a greater amount of production with a
given amount of labor They differ only
as to the share that should go to each
and under what method it should be
produced. When the employer and the
employe reach this stage, he said, then
1t is the proper thing to sit down and
solve the problem.

Incident Of Salute Forgotten.

'All our efforts should have been de-

pets Of this administration, Carranza
and Villa, are at each others throats.'

SEALED YACHTS WIRELESS.
Customs Collector Heard of Win
chester Increased Wave Length.

The wireless outfit on the steam
yacht Winchester in New York harbor
was dismantled yesterday by officers
and men of the revenue cutter Seneca.
The only explanation received here
came today from Capt. Wild. division
commander at New York. He reported
that a request was made by the Gus
toms collector to seal up the Win
chester's wireless because of reports
that she was about to increase her
wave length beyond the limits allowed
to merchant ships.
Capt Wild informed officials here
that the wireless outfit had not been
destroyed, although officers of the De-
partment of Commerce. who accom-
panied the detachment from the
Seneca to the yacht. disconnected the
outfit. The Winchester has not been
granted clearance, and a full explana-
tion of the incident is expected here

More Deaths Are Charged
to improper Ventilation
Than to Train Accidents

More deaths are caused by improp-
er ventilation Of train coaches and
waiting rooms than by train accidents"
according to the report Of the commit
tee on railway service and railway ac-
commodations presented to the annual
convention of the National Association
of Railway Commissioners.
Tho noxious gases that fill coaches,
especially sleeping cars. in connection
with the peculiar character of the dust
therein. are most conducive to germ
breeding where proper ventilation is

Lighting Of Railway Coaches.
In regard to the lighting of railway
coaches the committee says this prob
lem has been fairly satisfactorily mas
tered on the trunk lines, but on many
branch lines the dingy. dirty oil lamp
is, still in evidence. A vigorous cam
paign against this condition is recon-
mended.

Suburban Train Service.
Irregularity and failure Of suburban
trains to arrive and depart on time is
the cause Of wide complaint. says the
committee. Another source of COM
plaint is the lack Of adequate service
on Sundays. The committee believes
that at least one train should operate
in each direction as a minimum Sunday
service.
The committee recommends the elm
ination Of the practice OF paying
freight bills carrying manifest over
charges. Delays in handling and set
thing claims are also condemned. and
the committee concludes that the best
means of minimizing such delays is to
require the railroads to pay interest
on the true claim amount from the
date the amount of the claim went into
their hands.
On the question OF substitution of
steel for wooden cars the committee
recommends that the interstate COM
merce commission be given full power
to prescribe the character of equip
ment to be used in interstate COM

TO MAKE APPEAL DIRECT
Franks Attorneys Meet Refusal Of
State Court to Certify
Writ.

ATLANTA, Ca, November 20.-The
state supreme court today refused to
certify to the United States Supreme
Court a writ of error in the case Of
Leo M. Frank, under sentence of death
here for the murder in April, 1913. of
Mary Phagan. Counsel for Frank, after
today's decision, announced that the
case would be taken direct to the
United States Supreme Court.
A review of the Frank case by the
United States Supreme Court rests
largely with Justice Lamar. who Is as
signed to the circuit in which Georgia
is located, and custom OF the justices
requires that applications for ''writs Of
error must be presented first to the
justice assigned to the circuit in which
the case originates. Should Justice La
mar grant the writ. the case would go
to the courts docket and would not
be heard for about two years, unless
advanced.
Should Justice Lamar decline to issue
the writ he might consent to an ap-
plication being presented to the entire
court, or the attorneys might. of their
own volition, make application to the
other justices.
