all kinds of pork had the effect OF
lessenine the demand from butchers.
At the same time the. receipts of hogs
here were greatly enlarged. The arr
walls to-day alone amounted 70 10000,
as against $4,000 during last week,
when the supply was the lowest IN a
quarter Of century.
Likelihood of widespread abstention
from beef and muttons as well as pork
was also taken notice Of at the yards.
To-day's prices for cattle, sheep and
lambs were down 10 10 10 cents. Cut
meats at the packing houses also de-
clined, and il was stated that prices
we're practically the same as before the
war scare. Pork loins were 7 to cents
lower than OF Monday, ham cents
down and spare ribs 2 cents lower. One
expert explained that the previous ad-
vance was due to the effect Of the war
scare on the money situation, which
affected hog shipments, rather than to
an increased demand for product. A
leading packer to-day announced the
sale Of 100000 pounds Of canned
meats to the French government

He Runs and Is Caught
Her Arm Broken.

Several persons in Highbrdge Park
Yesterday saw a man and woman scut-
fling near the edge Of cliff suddenly
pitch forward to the Speedway, a DIS
lance of thirty feet. The woman lay
PROSTATE, but the man regained his
feet and ran north. The screams OF
the woman attracted a number OF pas
scrsbv, who pursued the fleeing man.
Ten blocks away he ran into the arms
of Patrolman 0Leary, who demanded
ar explanation.
The policeman led the man back to
the woman, who was being cared Tor
by persons who lived near by. She
sai6 she was Mrs. Helen Hanson, OF
PA Eighth av., and insisted on pre-
ferring a charge of felonious assault
against the man. Her left arm was
broken and she had decorations under
the left eye.
The prisoner said he was DR.. Asher
E. Meade, dentist, Of l2O9 WOODY
crest av., The Bronx.
Mrs. Hanson told the patrolman that
she had met DR.. Meade at l52d 81. and
EIGHTH av.. and that he had proposed
n walk 10 the park. They had been
chatting for half an hour in the park
she said, when an argument arose
Mrs. Hanson said she had started to
leave when the man suddenly turned
on her and struck her in the eye: She
rushed at him. she declared, and they
cI;ncbed. As they neared the edge OF
the rocky cliff, she charged, he at
tempted TO push her over, but, when
she fell. she grasped him and took
him with her Mrs. Hanson said they
had never met before yesterday.

ROOSEVELT GAINS LEWIS
Pennsylvania Moose to Stay
at Top of State Ticket.

OYSTER Bay, Long Island, Aug. IL.
William Draper Lewis, Progressive
candidate for Governor in Pennsyl-
vania. mounted Sycamore Hill to-day
and demanded of Colonel Roosevelt
ius. what he meant, if anything, in the
published reports that II would help
the Progressive ticket in the Keystone
state if Mr.. Lewis would drop down
and consent TO play second fiddle on
the ticket. After the interview with
the Colonel Mr.. Lewis came to the
village all smiles and cool as Gu
cumber.
81 am going to stick" was his key,
note speech when the reporters Hooked
around him. Everything is all right.
While there would be no sense In put
ting a Republican at the head OF the
Progressive ticket, as reports have II,
still there is reason in the suggestion
made in Pennsylvania that the Demo
cratic and Progressive tickets might
combine. They are aiming at the same
thing-to eliminate Penrose."
MIR. Roosevelt said the same thing,
thusly:
ut is Just as essential to beat Mr..
Penrose in Pennsylvania as 1t IS TO
beat Mr.. Murphy and Barnes in New
York"

Halls FRANZ JOSEF
AS PEACE DISCIPLE
Pamphlet Tells of Con
greSS to Discuss Franco
German Problems.

A Worlds Peace Congress" at
which Franco German problems are 70
be discussed by members of the Ger
man Reichstag and the French Cham
Der Of Deputies, is the delightful pros
pect advanced in a circular received
yesterday by Henry Wollman, lawyer,
Of 20 Broad st. The congress is
planned for September, and will take
place in Vienna and Budapest.
IL is assumed that the promoters Of
the peace conference may have been
prevailed upon to change their minds by
this time, as the invitation was mailed
in Europe a few days prior to the start
Of the war. From September 10 to 10
the scene of the peace deliberations
will be Vienna, according to the invi-
tation. and Budapest September q
and %.
Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria. is
particularly Landed by the pamphlet as
a sturdy disciple of peace.
"Vienna is the residence of the ven
cradle monarch, the Emperor-King
Franz Josef l." reads the invitation,
"known throughout the world as a de-
termined advocate of peace.
The invitation continues:
"The Turkish invasion of Europe re-
celveC its first cheek IN 'front.' OF the
walls Of Vienna, and the culture Of the
west was thus saved from destruction.
Here in Vienna the crowned heads Of
Europe assembled just a century ago
for that memorable congress when d.
plomacy proceeded to the liquidation
Of the warlike Napoleonic era, and the
foundation Of modern Europe was laid.
Vienna, Just after the conclusion Of
war on the Balkans, is-with its sister
capital, Budapest-the most easterly
metropolis where culture prevails, and
thus most fitted to the purpose of
holding congress in the present
war"
