CRASHING AT STRAINS

When Ferguson had closed the front door behind him he stood listening for a moment before uttering the "Coo-ee" with which he was in the habit of apprising Mrs. Ferguson of his arrival home. This time there was no answering Coo-ee." The house was as silent as the tomb. No Mario rie came down the long stairs to greet him; no Mrs. Ferguson stood at the head of the stairs to give him a smile Putting his coat and hat on the rack, he tiptoed noiselessly up the stairs. At the door of Mrs. Ferguson's room he encountered a strong smell of cam- phor and he found Mrs. Ferguson stretched across the bed either just coming out of or going into a faint ing spell. He clasped her in his arms. begging her to tell him what had hap pened. She tried several times to speak, then ceased her incoherent mutterings, clung about his neck and gave way to paroxysms of weeping his face. He was laughing.
 He looked about for the cause of the trouble, called Marjorie, and no Mar jorie replied. Finally he espied a piece of crumpled not paper lying@Fp- on the floor. He bent over sideways and obtained it.

OF DYE
IS SERIOUS PROBLEM
Question is Raised Whether Not it Would be Profitable For
Americans to Undertake Manufacture of Product Now
FURNISHED By Germany-Ask High Tariff

Pittsburg, Pa. Oct 2;.-Because
OF the European war the matter Of
the supply of dyes for all sorts OF
coloring in this country may be a
serious problem. Germany produces
the bulk OF coloring materials used
in the entire world. and II is said cns
concern in this country has cornered
the dye market, having at the outset
or the war purchased more than 81 Co.,
600 worth German products. This
has given rise to the question: Why
not manufacture these coloring mate
rails in this country? The United
states has abundance Of coal tar from
which analyne dyes are produced. and
American ingenuity and enterprise
should be able to produce this COM
modify as cheaply and OF a. good
quality as any other country, II 10 said.
The Mellon Institute Of the Univer-
sity OF Pittsburg has been considering
ing the matter. but has reached tho
conclusion that it would not pay an
American manufacturer to undertake
such a proposition at present Dis

AMENDING RATES FOR
HIRE OF HACKS.

I'm Justice to the liverymen OF the
city" said Councilman Edgar 3. Eng
lish last night, II intend to introduce
at an early meeting of Council. an or
dinance designed to give them some
relief
There is an ordinance on the books
prescribing the fees they may charge
for hack hire. This ordinance origi-
mated many years ago when the city
limits extended from Monroe Park to
Libby Hill. Since then the automobile
has taken the place of the hack. No
one now thinks of going to the the
ater with his sweetheart in hack
few young men nowadays take their
sweethearts buggy riding. The auto
mobile has como into Its own. and the
hack has taken back seat.
Il am told that the fees received by
the liverymen for hack hire barely
feed the horses. What think Is
right is TO raise the fees for hacks to
a maximum rate OF four. dollars for
funerals. thus giving tho liverymen
the right and the privilege Of charg-
Ing any price up to that ngure. II Is
well known that liverymen have re-
duced rates upon many occasions. aud
that they do not charge exhorbitant
rates for funerals. going so far In
many instances AS to remit part of
the fee to poor families.
With the automobile taking much
of the business formerly controlled by
the liverymen. think the latter
should receive some relief"

ACCEPTANCE OF AUSTRIAN PRS

r USSIA FRIEN DL Y
TURNS ALL ITALIANS CAPTURED
FROM THE AUSTRIAN ARMY
OVER TO THE GOVERN
MENT OF ITALY.

Rome. Oct 25.-The question Of
ltalys acceptance OF the Austrian
prisoners of war of italian nationality
re leased by Russia has been referred
to special board of foreign affairs
which has been called to decide
whether the acceptance would imply
violation OF Italian neutrality. Hence
the Italian governments reply is
rot final.
The proposal is complicated by the
Obligation imposed on italy by Rus
sia TO guard the prisoners to the ex-
tent of not permitting them to re-
turn to the Austrian colors. If their
release were unconditional 1t would
simplify matters.
Helps solution.
The question is more easily solved.
however, because of the legal axiom
that Austrians of Italian nationality
are considered ipso facto italian citi-
zens while they are in Italy.
NJ Kroupenski. the Russian ambas-
sa dor at Rome, in an interview says
that the Russian proposal Isl based
purely on sentimental and humani-
Ia rian motives, and not on political
considerations 1t is the Cars wish
he says. to show Russia S friendship
toi Italy, hence there will be no effort
to compel Italy TO abandon her neu-
tire lity. The only condition imposed
that released prisoners shall not re-
turn to the wars identical with
the restrictions in the cases of pris-
orers of war informed in neutral ter
ritory. Hence. the ambassador con-
cludes. the proposal may be accepted
legally but naturally, he adds, the
decision rests with the italian gov
eminent.
UphoIds Government.
The proposal Is commented upon
r1ost favorably here. but the press
unanimously upholds the government
in its position. that there should be
negotiations with Austria in conneC-
ton with the proposal.
The number of prisoners who may
be released under such an arrange
ment is known here. but the convey
ance of such prisoners to Italy from
Russia, in case the Russian offer
should be accepted, is a problem as
communications between the two
countries at the present time are most
difficult.
