Of English hotel. with Lord Bessborough

dominant factors in the Gastronome 80
ciety, which is made UP of working hotel
managers, suggested that the two Sc

Incorporated Society, without showing
any tact by declining TO do so on some

on the ground that the visitors were not
important enough for the Incorporated
Society to entertain. On receipt or this
notice the Gastronome Society. although

Nine Reasons-Just Nine
Count EN-.

Chicago. July 16.-What makes girls
go wrong Il been the subject of leg.
islative inquiry in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin.
What Makes Boys Go Wrong was
told today by Prof. George Walter
Fiske of Oberlin college to the dele
gates at a Sunday school workers in
stitute at the University of Chicago.
Crime is "A phenomenon of adde's
cence,' he said, land can be traced to
nine specific causes:
City life, which is artificial.
'Tenements and flats, which have
~supplanted homes.
Too few Fairgrounds. parks and re-
creation space
The average policeman, whom the
hoy regards as his foresworn enemy.
The courts. which are stern and
machine-like and seem to the boy to be
trampling him down.
The present day school system.
which is an inflexible one, without spe-
clalization and lacking courses interest
ing to many boys.
recreation is unregulated.
Boys are exploited by child labor.
Divorces by parents drive them to
the Streets"
Professor Fiske recommended a sys-
tenn of having one older boy in each
dock as a supervisor and comrade for
his younger fellows.

VICTORY FOR JONES
CLAIMED IN ADVANCE
Administration Leaders Say
Nominee Will Be Con-
firmed by Senate.

Washington. July 15.-Administra-
ton senator's, after a today,
reported to the White House that Pres
tdent Wilson's nomination of Thomas
D. Jones to the federal reserve board
would be confirmed by a majority rang
ing from five to 10. There were no
developments in the nomination of Paul
NJ. Warburg, of New York. Indications
were that the White House would not
begin the fight for his confirmation un-
til after Mr.. Jones had been placed.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear throughout the country for and
against President Wilson's nominee.
The fight on Jones was carried into
the Senate by Acting Chairman Hitch
cock. of the banking committee, lead
ing the opposition. because of Mr..
Jones connections with the so-called
zinc and harvester trusts. With ad.
victory. the fight went ON behind closed
doors.

yesterday that the demands could not

Several members of the engineers
committee predicted today that a gen.
eral strike would be called unless the
managers modified their attitude.
With the statement that the men had
voted nearly unanimously to strike,
union officials announced that arbitra-
ton under the federal laws would be
refused on the ground that the rail-
roads have not lived up to previous ar
bltratiOn awards.
The railroads. through their man
ayers committee, commended that to
grant the employees demands would
mean an increase of $33, OOO, 900 annual
ly in wages. The engineers and fire
men asserted that their requests were
fair and equitable.
Officers of the union announced
that the conference will not be re-
opened except at the request of the
railways.
Representatives of the engineers de-
clared they had exhausted every means
to avert a strike and that a resort to
fore was certain unless a reply was
received shortly i'm which promises of
an agreement We're held forth.

third principle entirely different from
the two followed so far in the expert
.ments on the Rodman Wanamaker,
transatlantic airboat was restored to
today. We have tried out submerged
fins and hydroblades of various types;
also p%ontoons. This morning we de-
cided to try altering altogether the
shape of the hull of the America by
building On a false bottom of the in
verified V shaped type employed in the
so-called sea sleds. The bottom of the
BOAT will be increased in width from
-four feet to seven and one-half. the
bow will be extended and the planning
surface of the airboat very greatly in
creased.
This suggestion came up as h re-
suits of yesterdays tryout of the new
est combination of submerged blades
and fms. The inverted v shaped type
has been employed in construction of
the speed boats called sea sleds. Mr..
Curtiss tried a similar design as far
back as 1910, during his early expert
ments in hydroaeronautics but at that
time the necessity for very light con-
struction rendered that type i'm
practicable. On making a quick land
ing the boat would split in two, but
now Mr.. Curtiss believes it can be con-

Withstand any shock.
After a decision among the various
experts who are racking their brains to
solve h problem of lifting the Ameri-
ca out of the water under full load, it
was decided to test out this type rather
than proceed with the experiments
with blade fins, pontoons, etc.
1t is true that this is a radical de-
parture from the principle we were fol-
lowing yesterday When the latest COM
bination of fins and blades produced
encouraging results. 1t will take prob
ably until tomorrow night to build the
sea sled bottom on the America but it
was agreed among us that the chances
of making a seaworthy boat would be
greater than by using the fins and
blades wen If we succeeded in perfect
ing them.

LOCAL MEN WAITING
FOR FINAL DECISION

Local railroad men, officials and en-
ployes are anXiously awaiting the is
suance of an ultimatum in the fight
between representatives of engineers
and firemen and their EMPLOYERS which
is being waged in Chicago at the pres-
emit time.
According to local employees. they ar,
decidedly opposed to walking out and
are greatly desirable of affecting a
peaceablc settlement. 1t is their opin-
ION that arbitration. either government
tai or otherwise, will eventually settle
the controversy.
OF course. said n of the local en-
gineers on the Burlington road, in dis
cussing the situation this morning. it,
seems that in the establishment of the
service bureau and various other new
regulations by railroad heads recently
that they are determined to decrease
the earning capacity of the men. Ma
tu:ally they deny this. but that is what
II all to summarized.
AS far as myself and other local
railroad men are concerned, we are not
worrying a particle. for it will all UNI
doubtedly be settled by arbitration. 1t
is just a matter of setting the time limit
gag against the officials and when suf-
ficiently tired of scrapping or losing
good live business. which they are do
ing by fighting. they will settle salts
factorily. If such an improbable thing
az d SIrlke was really ordered. 1T would
mean approximately 600 men out of
work in Sioux City proper"
Bad Time for Strike.
AS a matter of fact, said another To-
cal engineer. this is the worst time of
he year for the railroads to be tied
up in such a wrangle. The summer
excursion season is at it's height and
thousands who otherwise would be
taking trips are afraid to go, because
they do not wish to get very far from
their business and homes and then
be prevented from returning on ac-
count of a tieup in the railroads"
A great nan of the firemen think
it is more their fight than the engi-
neers'. They claim the engines are con-
tinually being made larger and that
means nearly a continual stocking of
coal. The work in other words, is be-
coming harder n the pay less.
superintendent and agents repre-
senting the railroads in Sioux City,
declined to discuss the matter or even
admit that a strike was at all immi-
They seemed to think that there
was no danger for the present and re-
FUSED to discuss the result of a strike
from a local standpoint.
