WIPES INFLUENCE
 ELEVA1ES HUSBAND
Is Given Important Position at Foreign Office in St.
 Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, Aug. S.-Mr. Artzi- moxitch Russian. married to an American widow of Mr. Jones and Miss Beulah Hobbs has been raised to a highly important position at the Foreign Office in St. Petersburg. His new appointment carried ministerial rank with it and society is much con- cerned at what seems an exceptional case of favoritism.
 It is whispered. however, that the diplomacy which has bee at work is due to the haute politique of Mime. Artizimovitch. who is now only one of the smartest and most elegant women in high society ill St. Peters burg but is woman of the most remarkable tact, intelligence and good breeding. Such qualities in a society like that of the Russian capi- tai, where birth and social position counts for so much are very rare with foreigners, especially those of the Anglo-Saxon races. So cleverly did this gifted American illnesses the matter that it is said even by her de- tractors that her husband would never have reached so high position while still young, had it not been for her invaluable cooperation.

NEW METHOD TO
 GET TAX DODGERS
Villagers Who Are in Ar rears Will Be Forced to
 "Come Clean"

Berlin, Aug. S.-The Parish Coun- cil of Stangendorf, Saxon commun- ity near Zwickau, has devised an in- genious method of bringing to book those villagers who are in arrears with their municipal taxes.
 Summonses and executions appear to have had very little effect, so one evening the parishioners found po- liceman with a drawn sabre stationed at the doors of local cinematograph theatre. The butcher and baker and some other worthies passed in, but when a local farmer appeared the po- liceman barred the way, announcing that visit to the cinema was off cially forbidden to all who had not paid their taxes. Doubling the au- thenticity of this Gilbertian story, the "Morgenpost" telegraphed inquiries to the authorities of Stangendorf and received prompt confirmation.

HELTH OFFICERS MAKE EXPERIMENTS Americans and British Test Endurance of Disease
 Carrying Fly.

Washington, Aug. S.-England recently defeated the United States in an entrance race conducted by the health officers of Britain and Amer ica in which house flies were the received by the United States public health service.
 Agreeing that the ordinary fly's ability to transmit diseases makes him a dangerous enemy to mankind, scientists of both countries arrange a series of flights to determine just how far the fly can carry his germ laden feet.
 In the United States three hundred and fifty flies were captured and marked by means of spots of gold enamel They were afterwards re- leased, and the winner was found only 24O yards from the starting point.
 The British experiments were much more elaborate. Twenty-Five thousand flies were captured and they were fed on brown sugar for twenty-four hours because it was learned this food developed their full powers of flight.
 The flies were divided into armies of five thousand each, and each lot was dusted with a powder of colored chalk. In one case a fly travelled 17O0 yards within AS hours of the time of liberation. This, the English investigators say, is the longest flight on record.
 Incidentally, another weapon has been devised by our department of agriculture experts for carrying on war against the typhoid fly. The weapon is ordinary powdered borax. It has been discovered that this min- eral product, sprinkled in stables and garbage cans, will prevent breeding of the insect in these places without destroying the fertilizing value of tho refuse.
 The information is considered the most important that has been given out since the beginning of the attempts to extermiate the fly. Application of this new pest-exterminator on a generous scale, it is believed, is al- most sure to make Washington fly less city by the end of next summer.

She was thorough ly and sincerely liked by every one.
 Illogical though it was, the argu- ment "Florence couldn't have done such thing" was predominant.
 Shift of Sentiment.
 But there has been a shift of senti- ment in Nassau county since the day of her arrest. due to two causes first, the apparent strengthening os the evidence in the possession of the state; second, Mrs. Carman's own attitude.
 When Mrs.} Carman was arrested of the tramp, Farrell, had not been given. The strongest thing against her was her admission that she had installed and used a telegraph in her husbands office, and the testi- mony of man named Bardes (after- ward discredited) that she had been downstairs in her home just before the shooting.
 The Coleman and Farrell stories are the most telling things the state has against her. and they are what caused her indictment But Mrs. Car mans own attitude has had quite as much to do with the revulsion of sentiment as has the new evidence. The change observable in her was startling when a reporter had an hours talk with her following her re- lease on bail.
 She was hard, metallic, angry and as unfeminine as a militant suffrag- cite. There was not bit of charm to her. and certainly none of the self-control of which so much had previously been written.
 In that talk she began by accusing the officials, the grand jurors. the detectives and the newspapers of be- ing unfair. She was being framed up," she insisted bitterly.

@ SENTS PER .CUSS' WORD.
Old Blue Laws Invoked to Stop
 Swearing in Public.

Reading, Pa. Aug. s.-The first ar rest for swearing on the public high ways since representatives of the No-License league called upon Mayor Stratton and asked him to enforce the old Blue laws was made recently when Joseph A. West, aged twenty one years was taken into custody on the charge of cursing while riding his bicycle.
 Before Alderman Yarnell, West ac- knowledged that he swore, but de- clared that he applied the epithets to his bicycle and not to any individual.
 The old Blue law permits fine of sixty-seven cents for each oath ut tered but Alderman Yarnell imposed a straight fine and costs of $3,25 which was paid. The prisoner accus- ed of swearing uttered five "cuss words at sixty-seven cents per. This would amount to $3.25. The Magis- trate threw off 10 cents and made it $3.25.

 Shelby pleaded guilty and the Court deferred sentence until he could get his crops laid by. Yesterday he was notified by wire to report to the court and was given his commitment papers. He went alone to the jail and turned the horse he had ridden loose in the streets to find it's way back to the Shelby farm.

In figuring up the Entente and Alliance fighting force ton by ton and gun by gun, the naval experts entirely overlook the fact that such fleet as the Alliance could throw together while it might compare favorably with the paper stated fighting force of the English navy, could not possibly reach in a few weeks the fighting efficiency of the British fleet. The English sig nay system and common methods Of action arranged after years of prac- tice would be the one factor that would give the Eentente fleet the power to clean the sea of any fleet the German, Austrian and Italian governments might throw together.

 Mrs. Carmans eyes blazed. Her posture was one of rigid indignation. She fastened her gaze upon the re- porter and snapped:
 What theory could I have? How could l have a theOry?
 Secret of Her Stare"
 Much has been said about her eyes. They are large. blue. straight gazing. She has boasted that she can outstare any man living. She said she had done that to Detective Burns, and she certainly did do it with some of the newspaper reporters. She looked un- winkingly at them at times for full minute.
 But there's trick about this gaze of hers. As a matter of fact she is very near-sighted. and with her glass es off she doesn't really see the eyes of the person to whom she is talking. She might stare at a person all day without any mental strain. And in this interview she did not wear her glasses.
 Not only throughout this talk did she persist in declaring that she had been framed" but when she went to her present retreat in Pennsylvania she repeated the accusation and has angrily refused to see interrogators. Neither Mrs. Carman nor her hus- band nor any of their intimate friends could answer these questions when they were asked: "Who would frame her? Why would any one frame her?"
 District Attorney Smith, Sheriff Pet tit and Coroner Norton are all life long friends of Doe" Carman. Extremely Bitter. Mrs. Carman has been extremely bitter towards Burns and his men. She has insisted that they kidnapped Celia Coleman, the colored maid, and forced her to tell her damaging story.
 There is authority for saying that what they did under the direction of District Attorney Smith. f "If I was unfair I was unfair in being altogether too easy with her" said the district attorney. | Mrs. Carman's allegations and ac- cuSatiOns since her release on $20,000 bail have not caused the officials to feel more gindly toward her, and as (Continued From Page F,

The poor deacon could only groan
