There was more evidences of business activity in July than in June, and I be- lieve that general trade will be very brisk from TOW until the end of the year." said J. w. Carroll of Chicago.
 The decision of the interstate com merce commission in the rate case, while not allowing the carriers east of Pitts. burg and Buffalo to participate in the per cent advance, will have a fine ef- feet on the business situation.

In the Business World.

Henry Clews, in his Saturday review after discussing the war situation, says in part:
 The crop movement has alreay be- gun, and recent events are likely to has ten the export movement of grain. Wheat has advanced fully 10 cents and over, which means phenomenal prosperity to the western farmers, especially wheat growers. Our wheat crop is now csti- mated at over 900,O0O00O bushels, and as the bulk of it is still in farmers hands 1t follows that they and not interme- diaries will get the principal advantage from high prices. Commodities generally are rising owing to the prospective inter- ference with supplies in event of war.
 Closing of the exchange, however was wise step. American buyers have been absorbing European holdings at very at tractive prices, for many of our best stocks are now on the bargain counter Eventually Europe will repurchase these shares. but at higher prices It is many years since Europe has been so bare of American stocks, and the present crisis leaves the United States in an excep- tioLslly strong and favorable financial condition. so far as concerns its relations with European countries

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
ARE SENTENCED TO JAIL

Munich, May 6-The Bavarian Dis
trict court has sentenced the Mayor
of Partonkirche, large town on the
edge of the Bavarian Alps, together
with the entire town council, to jail
for libelling a young woman teachef
in the schools there. The Mayor was
given three days in Jail and the mem
bers of the council each two days.
All have appealed. If the higher
courts sustain the sentence, the town
which is an important summer resort,
will be without government for sew
eral days. The trouble arose out OF
derogatory remarks made by the May
or and councilmen in a row with the
teacher as to the house which the
town has to furnish her while engaged
as teacher.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
JAIL SUGGESTED

On account of the Board of Super
visors being unable at this time to
proceed with the construction of a
new Jail, it has been deemed advis-
able to make certain improvements
in the old structure, the supervisors
yesterday reaching the conclusion aft
er a thorough inspection of the in
stitution. The matter will probably
be left entirely in the hands of the
.sheriff's office.
The board suggested that sys-
tenn for change and renovation of
inmates clothing be installed so that
perfect fumigation could be effected
No complaints have ever been re-
ceived as to the unsanitary condi-
tions because the sheriff's force has
always been alive to the necessity
of cleanliness and system. On ac-
count of the limited space when the
iail is crowded some conditions arise
which cannot be prevented.
1t was suggested that first class
laundry be established so that the
bedding and other articles could be
cleansed. Also a system patterned
after that at the county hospital.
which provides for the baking" of
clothing worn by inmates who are
not considered wholesome in appear
ance.
Supervisor Frank Beal maintainet
yesterday that no man was convict
until convicted and that all those who
were awaiting trial should be given
proper treatment. One of the main
troubles of Deputy Sheriff E. e.
Cummings, who is the official jailer,
has been the maintenance of lavatory
facilities, some of the reckless in
mates delighting in flooding the jail
floor and destroying the equipment.
1t was proposed to install con-
crete system so that malicious pris-
oners could not destroy the appara-
tus. These improvements will suf-
flee until the new Jail is completed

Omitted Press Day service)


Odessa, May 6.-More than five
thousand Jews are threatened with
expulsion owing to the incorporation
of several suburbs with Keiff, the city
made famous by the Mondel Bells
trial and which is outside the Pale.
The suburb of Demievka with 1,l84
Jewish families, comprising 5,O4S per-
sons, and that of Shulavka with Ia
families or $50 persons, were within
the Pale, but as part of Keiff, jews
are no longer permitted to live there
The governor of Keiff has recon-
mended to st. Petersburg, that the
residents of these suburbs be at
tached to the Pale district of Luka-
novska, but in the meantime the police
are inspecting permits of residents
with a view to prosecution and ex-
pulsion.

Washington, May 6.-Scientists and
aviators today joined in doing honor
to Langley, inventor of the heavier

tically broken hearted from ridicule
about his original machine, and not
until some years afterwards did the
scientific world realize that his inven-
ton was practicable. DR.. Zahn of the

faithless lover is among the many
interesting exhibits in the new special
poison department of the Institute OF
Criminalogy at Gratz. Brilliant moon
shine caused the snake to crawl out
from beneath the bed clothing before
the intended victim had retired, and
he captured it. There is also col
lection of poisoned bees, and numerous
varieties of poisoned food. Lectures
are given on the kinds of poisons used
by various criminal types and the dit
ferent methods of preparation and ad-
ministering.
Another section of the Institute is
devoted to recording the cabalistic
signs by which European criminals
convey warnings or other information
to each other.
Most of these symbols have been
traced back to the fifteenth and SIX
teenth centuries. A triangle with a
point upward, for instance, signifies,
81 have been in prison" Two horl-
zontal lines mean beware of the
dog" A cork signifies that there Is

marks the presence of woman only

CHILDREN DRUG FIENDS
IN THE AMUR TERRITORY
Omitted Press Day Service)


st. Petersburg, May 6.-That whole
districts in the Amur territory are
morphiamad, and that even children
are dope fends, was the statement
made by Dr. Starokotlitzky, lecturing
before the medical society of Blago-
vestchenck. Children acquired the
dope habit, he said, before reaching
their teens, and the villages were
populated by morphia- -maniacs. In
one Jail out of every. 1000 prisoners,
800 were dope fiends, and the same
proportion applied to the hospital pa
tients.
A large number of morphia clubs
existed in, Blagovestchenck, and it
was a common sight to see morphia-
maniacs making injections in the open
streets. The use of cocaine also was
declared to be general.
Official statistics also show that SO
per cent of the boys and 90 per cent
of the girls at school in the province
of Veronjsky are in the habit of drink
ing intoxicants. Children of seven and
eight frequently become drunk, the
boys preferring spirits and beer, and
the girls red wine and beer. Strong
measures are being taken to stamp
out alcoholism among the children.

Estate rights" and that for nation
wide prohibition has got its bump.
Congressman Hobson had a per-
feetly plain amendment for prohibi-
ton in the congressional hopper,
when large number of Southern
congressman got out their hammers
and beat it into him that he was pro-
posing violation of Estate rights"
such rights being very precious to
states still having farm, oil or mine
territory, or human rights that
haven't been exploited by their own
big business cabals. Hobson saw the
point, lifted his amendment out of the
hopper and has so dressed it up in
conformity with state rights fashions
that it really looks as if the House
were going to take vote on it.
Originally Hobson's measure plain
ly prohibited the manufacture, sale
or transportation of intoxicating
liquors in the United States. 1t was
prohibition naked and in the raw,
drawn tight as the business end of a
snare drum. The union suit, slit
skirt, or whatever you want to call
that in which it has now been Dress
ed, reads thus:
1.-THE congress or the states with
in their respective jurisdiction shall
have power to enforce this article by
all needful legislation"
It is a pretty fair guess that this
would leave an opening for the U. S.
Supreme Court to take whack at
the matter, ten, or twenty, or forty
years hence, or whenever it got ready
At any rate, congressman with fences
to mend needn't be afraid of being ac-
cused of suicidal tendencies by letting
the thing some to vote.

GIVES DOPE IDEAS

Editor Day Book:-Just a word in
regard to this great dope crusade now
going on. While they are prosecuting
people for selling it and causing drug
gists to refuse to sell it, which is all
well enough, what are they doing for
the poor unfortunate victim that is
using it? Nothing! Positively moth
ing! l think the state should provide
a place especially for them and the:
doctors, as they find the cases, report
them and the patient compelled to
take treatment. AS it is now they go
along till they come to the end of
their rope or the druggist tells them
he can not sell it to them any more.
Then if their friends can't come up
with a few hundred dollars they are
picked up, swished off to Elgin, Kan
kakee or Dunning to die most ter
rible death in a cell. People should
learn to regard it as a disease and not
so much a crime. Did anybody ever
notice the wave of crime and suicide
following crusade"
