BETTER PRICES FOR SUGAR
z. A. RainoId Sees Many Reasons For
tho Present Dull Market.

VewsShu kSWSRekSA SuAVA A~"S
New Orleans.-E. A. Rainold, who
has just returned from New York,
said there are several eason for the
present dullness Of the sugar market
and the recent heavy decline in
prices. The first is the financial con-
dition Of the whole country is not
good, and the partial paralysis of cot
ton, with the Gripping of other large
industries by the European war, has
thrown thousands 81 persons out Of
employment, and naturally has hurt
business. The second reason given
by Mr.. Rainold is that when sugar
made its rapid advance in August the
trade overbought itself, and has some
Of this stock still uns0ld. The third
reason II the domestic beet crop Is
now coming on the market, and the
beet refiners are competing with the
cane refiners for the limited business,
with the result that several of the
largest refineries In New York and
elsewhere have had to close down
temporarily until the demand shall
have improved. Another cause TO.
the condition Of sugar is the circuln'
ton Of the report that Austria may
send sugar to the United States on
| American steamers. :.
M. Rainold says that notwithstand+
ing all these causes he is very bull
ish on the market, and predicts tha'
II the war continues there will bt
higher prices for sugar. The sugar
crops. both in France and Belgium
amounting to 1000, 900 tons, he says
already have been totally destroyed
The beet crops in Russia, German.
and Austria have suffered considera
bly, from lack Of cultivation, and car
not be fully harvested and manufat
tured. He says II Germany succeed
IN saving half Of its crop 1t will ,
doing all that is physically possible
and the crops in the other countrie
at war will suffer accordingly.
Figuring on the shortage in Europ'
and also figuring that the crop /
Cuba and nearly all the cane-produ
ing countries will be short. Mr.. Raj
old said he believed a total Of 5000
600 tons OF sugar less will be pr
duced this season. This is about ha
of the worlds production. There
he says, no chance Of Austria or &c
many exporting any sugar, as the
, governments already have given n
, tice that wheat and other grain mu
be planted next season, instead
, beets. Naturally this will make
: gar scarce In those countries, and
, would be q mistake II the COVER
I ments should allow It to be exporte
In 1911 a drought in Germany c
down the crop q miilion tons, and
gar sold In the United States then
I cents q pound. Considering that t
e deficiency this season will be SOC
900 tons, prices should 60 mu
higher than in 1911, said Mr.: Ra
!. old, He estimates the Louisiana CT
at about 1866. 200, 900 tons. and says
It II Is marketed judiciously the pla
:. ers should derive great benefit fr'
the present situation.

SEVERE
Injury Sustained By Mr..

In A Fall Down Cellar Steps
At His Grocery

A slippery cellar-way caused Hoy
o. Simons to dislocate his left shoul-
der Monday morning at 1880 O'Clock
and Harry Tyler's coming up the
stairs carrying basket of potatoes
probably prevented more serious in
juries.
Simons had started down the steps,
which are located inside his grocery,
North Main street, when his foot
slipped on the top step and he was
thrown forward down the stairs. He
struck on his left shoulder and proba-
bly, would have hit his head on the
bottom, had it not been for the ap-
pearance of Tyler which stopped his
fall.
He was carried upstairs where an
examination revealed that his shoul-
der had been dislocated. He was
taken to the Office of physician and
the dislocation was reduced.

ization at each county seat, with sub

temple OF Justice

Sheriff Woolison and Prosecuting
Attorney Cromley were in Loudonville
on Sunday making further investiga-
ton concerning the identity of Walter
j. Welsh, who was shot by Thomas
McMahon at Brink Haven on the night
of August 10.
The sheriff and prosecutor learned
that three persons arrived at the Lou
donville hotel on August II and regis
tered as follows: "Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter j. Welsh, Peoria, ILL.,, John Burke,
Loveland, Ohio"
The three persons arrived in Lou
donville in an automobile. When sew
eral miles out of Loudonville their
machine broke down and they were
hauled to town by the proprietor of
the Loudonville garage.
The machine was left at the garage
and over $35 worth of repairs were
placed on the auto. On Monday, Aug
ust II, Welsh and wife and Burke left
Loudonville and went to the home of a
family by the name of Snyder, resid-
ing south of Loudonville, where they
remained until the morning of the 49,
and Welsh and Burke purchased tick
cts at the Loudonville station for Brink
Haven. That was the last seen of the
men in the community. 1t appears,
however, that the machine was taken
from the garage the morning before
the three persons left for the Snyder
home. The automobile bore the Hin
ois license numbers, when it was
placed in the garage, but there was
set of Ohio license numbers in the
bottom of the machine.
1t is the opinion of the Knox county
officials that Welsh and his partner,
Burke, went to the Mcmahon home for
the purpose of robbing the man. Ow-
ing to the fact that the automobile was
taken from the garage the day before
the men left Loudonville, it is the
opinion of the officials that the two
men concealed the machine in the vi
cinity of Brink Haven, expecting to
make their escape should they have
been successful in robbing Mcmahon.
AS the automobile has not been found
it Is the belief of the officials that
Burke made getaway in the machine
after Welsh had been shot at the Nc
Mahon' home.
After their investigation of Sunday,
the Knox county officials are more
positive in their belief that the two
men went to the Mcmahon home for
the purpose of robbery.
1t is not likely that the grand jury

Booked For Three
Game Series

Playing the same team that forced
them to eleven innings three weeks
ago to win by a meager l to 0 score,
Mt. Vernon on Sunday took Hogans
Runts into camp, 10 to 6, in game
full of loose playing and heavy batting
on the part of both teams.
Bowden and Schrock faced each 9th
er again, but both were batted freely
this time. An unusual feature of the
game was the batting of Bowden him
self. In the games played hitherto
this year, he has secured a total of
but two hits, one of which was two
Dagger. On Sunday afternoon, he sur
prised everybody by garnering two
bagger and three-bagger, driving in
three runs and scoring once himself.
Mt Vernon did most of its scoring
in the first. Maxwell got to first on
Castner's muff and stole second. Por-
ter worked a walk. Tigers single

ing gone in. Popejoy hit into center
field, scoring Porter and Tiger He
took second when Minoughan fumbled

home. Thompson was retired at third
by peg from Beam. Sullivan walked
went to second ON a fielder's choice
and duplicated Popejoy's stunt of steal
ing third and home. Maison popped
one out to O'Donnell and Mondron
went out, Schrock to Griggs.
The Runts tailed twice in the Sec
ond inning by combination of two er'
rors, single and sacrifice hit. In
the third, Price drove Minoughan in
with a two-bagger. Their other three
runs were made by twosacker, two
singles and an error by Popejoy. Sui
livan stopped nice batting rally In
the sixth by grabbing off what looked
like a sure two-bagger and doubling
up to Porter. All of Mt. Vernon's re-
naming runs weer earned, hard and

On next Sunday and Monday, Mt
Vernon will play three games with

SAY GERMANS USE
DUMDUM BULLETS
French Officials File Objection
With the Powers.
SAMPLES ARE SUBMITTED.

These Bullets Are Cylindrical and Con-
ical With Split Ends-Their Hollow
Noses Expand on Impact, Causing
Terrible Wounds--The Hague Con-
ference Forbade Use.
Paris.-Of great interest to military
students is the charge made by the
French government that the Germans
used on one of the first days Of the
war dumdum bullets. The charge was
never substantlated. A sample Of the
bullets found In French dead have
been submitted to the war Office.
The dumdum bullet is made with a
hollow nose which causes the metal to
expand on impact, thus creating an
ugly wound. They were first made
in the town of Dumdum, In British In.
dia.
The bullets were first used In the In.
dian frontier fighting by the British
owing to the failure of the usual type
of bullets to stop the rushes of the
fanatical tribesmen.
At the second Hague conference all
the powers except Great Britain and
the United States agreed to stop the
use of this kind of bullet.
The charge was made, however, by
Italian officers in the war with the
Turks in Tripoli that the enemy was
using the dumdum bullets. From the
condition of the wounded the doctors
declared that such was the case. The
powers were notified and promised to
draw the attention Of the Ottoman
government to the violation.
Later, in the Balkan war, the Turks
got a dose of their own medicine from
the Montenegrins. On Oct. 81, 1912
the Turks said that the foe was using
the prescribed bullets at Tuszi and
Berama. Again the powers made rep
resentation to the Montenegrins.
Accusations were made in the Boel
war that the British were using the
dumdums. This was never proved.
In the Russia-Japan war the Japs
first accused the Russians Of using
dumdums, and some were said to have
been found at Liaoyang. The Russian
officers denied that the bullets came
from their side when the powers tool
up the matter. Later in the campaign
| General Linevitch asserted that the
Japanese were using dumdums, ant
the usual denials to the powers fol
lowed.

March Made From Brink
Haven During Day
The EnCampment Was Con-
CIuded Monday Morning

A monster crowd was present at Riv-
erside park Sunday afternoon when
Battery D of this city, in company with
Battery c of Columbus and Battery A
of Cleveland, arrived from a weeks
encampment on the Lincoln Hibbits
farm, near Brink Haven.
Major Bush and his aides-de-camp
we're first to arrive. Following them
came in order Batteries A, G and D.
The two hundred members Of the three
batteries either rode horseback or were
accommodated on the three caissons
in the equipment. An American flag
was carried at the front of the pro-
cession.
The camp at Brink Haven was brok-
en- early Sunday morning and at nine
o'clock all was in readiness for the
start of the march Howard was
reached at noon, where the men were
held up for a while by the failure of
the mess-wagons to arrive. These
finally put in their appearance and
the noon meal was eaten. The march
towards Mt. Vernon was Immediately
resumed. On reaching Gambler, the
Coshocton road was taken to this ci-
~. Crowds lined the streets here
awaiting the appearance of the bat
teries, they reaching the city about
A:45.
AS soon as the entire equipment and
men had arrived at Riverside park
picket lines were formed and prepara-
ions started to feed the 1856 horses
Used by the batteries. These horses
we're hired by the state for use during
this particular encampment, 100 of
them being obtained from a stock farm
near Circleville, o. After the horses
were fed, attention of the men was
directed toward pitching the pup"
tents for the evening. These are the
cmaller tents and accommodate two
Inen apiece. They only rise about four
feet from the ground. Regular

meal was hamburg steak, boiled pota-
toes and canned peas. The Cleveland
battery had the same meal, with the
exception of the meat, fried ham and
bacon being their allotment.
There were many visitors at the
camp before taps were finally sounded.
Tne local boys expressed themselves

hard, for quite a number. All were
glad to return to the city, but felt that
the encampment was a thorough sue
cess in all ways.
Camp was broken early Monday
morning. The members of the local
battery turned in and helped load the
horses of the other two batteries on
the special trains conveying them
home. By this means, the other bat
teries were given an opportunity of
loading simply their equipment, SO

Good-byes were said all around and
the camp broke up, probably not to as
