AMERICAN PHYSICIAN
ARRESTED AS A SPY
DR.. n. q. Schuhmann's Scientific
Treatise Causes Suspicion-Wins
Freedom by Ruse.

LONDON, August 2s.-A manuscript
on scientific work filled with names of
bacteria and formidable sounding terms
got Dr. H. H. Schuhmann of Chicago into
serious trouble at Dion, France, while he
was travelling from Switzerland to Eng
land.
DIR. Schuhmann has been writing a book
during a stay at Lucerne, where Mrs. E.
C. Shuhmann headed the American relief
committee. Accompanied by his wife and
daughter, he left for Paris August %.
Arriving at Dion the travellers found
it necessary to change trains and also to
show their passports and have their bag
gage examined. The doctor was not
molested until the station agent noticed
the trouble-making manuscript in his
pocket The paper interested the French
man, who after a brief inspection of ii
ordered the arrest of the owner. CUES
toned regarding his antecedents, the
Chicago man admitted that for ten years
he was a student in Germany. and the

seemed to confirm the suspicion that he
was a German spy.
Calls Wildly for Physician.


Made desperate by the thought of leav-
ing his wife and daughter, from whom he
had been separated, without railway
tickets or money, while he was sent away
on a train, Dr. Schuhmann called wildly
in French for a physician. The ruse
worked. for his captors believing that he
was i'll and perhaps poisoned, summoned
a French military surgeon. The latter
came running and DR.. Schuhmann wrench
ing himself free from his captors thrust
his manuscript into the hand that reach
ed for his pulse. The surgeon recog-
niZed the scientific names in the work,
and as a result the Americans explana-
tons were accepted and he was set at
liberty.
DR.. Schuhmann caught his train as it
was drawing out of the station. He was
crowded into a third-class compartment,
where he rode, standing. for eighteen
hours
Many wealthy Americans in SwitZer-
land have been victimized. DR.. Schuhmann
said, by paying 500 for a berth on a
steamer advertised to sail from Genoa
during the. first week of the war. but
which Is still in port.
He says Americans in Switzerland were
generously treated by the hotels, but
that banks demanded an unreasonable
rate OF exchange until he and James
Stillman of New York took the matter up
with the American legation and obtained
an independent supply of money.

FRANCE DIsLIKEs SHIP PLAN.
Objects to Germany Profting by
Sale of Vessels to United States.

French disapproval of some parts OF
the American plan to establish fleet OF
government merchant ships by the pur-
chase of foreign vessels is before admin
istration officials today.
1t was said France would regard with
displeasslre the American purchase OF
German-owned ships, contending that a
tremendous amount of money would be.
come available for German use through
the sale of vessels tied up in neutral
ports.
France also holds that If the establish
ment of a government fleet gave Ger
many the chance to feed her citizens and
army. that would be a violation of neu.
trality.

She had been so good that when
they considered a funeral service
they were unanimous in the feeling
that no minister who didn't know her
life could talk intelligentIy about it;
and that no prayer uttered by human
lips could help her standing before
God when her sweet, Unselfsh, self
sacrificing, loving life as a mother
had been one long sweet prayer itself.
So all Of these grown children ask
ed the oldest son to conduct the brief
service and merely speak of her sue
cessful life as a mother, and how
through all the years she had held
together her sons and daughters,
wherever they might be, with the
power of her wonderful love. And it
was their belief that, though the soul
and body had separated, it was only
the body that had gone, and that the
soul, the spirit and the love would
abide with them as controlling and
guiding influence so long as they
lived.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
LABOR AND THE VETS
Editor Day Book:-The strike Of
mattresses, cooks and walters against
the lunchroom trust is still on. The
girls are picketing these places every
day, and every few days the police
are being used to arrest one of these
girls, drag her to the fifty Harrison
street dungeon and then before one
of the judges.
On account of the evidence in each
case showing that the police are just
trying to repay for their free meals
and cigars, and we don't know what
other thing free, these girls have al
ways been discharged.
This association openly claims that
the Hotel Keepers and the Saloon
Restaurant Keepers Association is
giving them the money to fight these
girls with.
It may be well for union men to
know that the Chicago restaurant
and hotel keepers do not permit their
bartenders, walters, cooks or other
employees to belong to union. That
is the very reason why the labor
movement is getting more and more
against the saloons. The 1000 bar
tenders, 10000 walters, 5000 cooks
and 10000 other employees working
either in saloons or restaurants
would if organized be a help to work
with the brewery workers, cigarmak-
ers and ice drivers to balance the vote
on this question. John Vogelsang
and the Bismarck saloons do not ask
their walters, bartenders nor cooks to
belong to union, nor force them to
become voters, but they do ask them
without any shame to work for 81

WHEN SNODGRASS MUFFED AND BOSTON WON
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

Boston seemed beaten. The worlds
championship, for which they had
struggled so long, appeared within
the very grasp of the New York
Giants. McGraw's crowd seemed to
have snatched victory from certain
defeat. Saved from four straight
losses at the hands of the Red SoX a
muffed fly had allowed them to tie
one game they won another-by
luck. Boston, arrogant, confident, had
the series seemingly won beyond
doubt Then a little row, little faint
heartedness in choice of pitchers,
sudden break, panic, CONSERVATION
and rout came upon Boston.
The Giants, hope revived, fought
their way to even terms, and in the
deciding game, led. Mathewson,
pitching superbly, cunningly, with all
the skill of the greatest master the
game has known, had stopped the
Red Sox. In one moment he had
Wavered and Numbered and recruit
had evened up the score-and the
two teams, tied, struggled to the fin
ish of the final game of that series of
surprises, in October, 1912.
In the tenth the Giants had scored,
in spite of the desperate rally of Bos-
ton-and with Mathewson pitching
all Boston's hopes seem blighted.
The bitterness Of ''it might have
BEEN had sunk into the hearts of the
twenty thousand Bostonians who
were seeing the cup snatched from
their lips.
Boston, desperate, came for the
last chance, the score to 1 against
them. In the field the gray-clad war
riors from New York were CULVER

ball almost without an effort under
ordinary circumstances but the nerve
tension was too great. 1t was Snod-
grass ball.
He hesitated, looked despairingly
toward Murray, who screamed to him
to take it. Snodgrass started again,
hesitated, looked toward Murray as
if seeking assistance, and, seeing that
he alone was responsible, made final
effort to reach the ball. 1t struck his
hands, dropped, rolled few feet, and
before he could retrieve it the slow
footed Engle had reached second.
The crowd that had been silent,
suddenly turned into bowling, hope
full mob, screaming, imploring, beg
ging as Hooper faced Mathewson.
Hooper drove a fierce line smash to
left center, and this time Snodgrass,
as if trying to redeem the blunder,
made clever catch.
Mathewson was pitching carefully,
studiously. He refused to give Yerkes
good ball to hit and Yerkes refused
to hit at bad one and drew base,
bringing Speaker to bat.

fray, screaming, bowling, mad with

Iris Speaker, the greatest hitter of
the team, came to bat. He was no
longer the smiling, good-natured
Speaker, but man who looked upon
every opponent as a deadly foe, and
upon Mathewson, one of his best
friends, as his most-hated enemy. He
cursed Matty as he stepped to the
plate and Mathewson, a bit shaken
and qiVering with anxiety, smiled and
dropped slow, twisting curve inside
the plate. Speaker swung.
The ball popped at an easy arc to-
