KING GEORGE ROUSES
BRITISH LAWMAKERS
TO PATRIOTIC SONG
Address to Parliament Ex-
presses Justice of Nation S
Cause and Confidence in
Allies Triumph.

LONDON, Sept. Is.
In the Kings address proroguing Parlia-
ment today he discussed the war and de-
clarcd that England was fighting for a
worthy purpose and would not lay down
its arms until that purpose was achieved.
He declared that every endeavor had been
made by the British Government to MAIN
tain the peace of Europe and that finally
with reluctance, England went to war for
the protection of public law In Europe
which had been set at naught as had pub
lished treaties.
The King declared that he had every
confidence in the patriotism OF the coun-
try and that he looked forward to sue
cessfu conclusion of the war.
The King did not deliver his speech In
person, but 1t was read by royal COM
missioner In opening. His Majesty said:
After my government has exhausted
every effort to maintain peace In
Europe | was compelled by the exer-
cising Of my treaty obligations and
the interests of the empire, to go to
war. My navy and my army with
unceasing vigilance, courage and skill,
are sustaining with our gallant-allies,
a just and righteous cause.
An enthusiastic demonstration in the
House of Commons marked the conclu-
sion of the reading of the royal speech.
Will Crooks, prominent labor mem
ber from Woolwlch. asked whether it
would be in order to sing the National
anthem. The speaker assented and the

WOUNDS "WHTP' TO
AVENGE DEATH OF
FLORENCE SCHENCK
Alleged Detective, Who
Says Vanderbilt Groom
Offered to Pay for Girls
Murder, Meant to Kill
Wilson.

NEW YORK, Sept 1S.-Charles IL.
Wilson. Gwynne Vanderbilt's stable
manager. whose love affairs have fur
nished gossip for two continents, was
backed up against a wall in the VAN
6erbilt stables at the Westminster horse
show at White Plains yesterday after
noon and shot at five times by Frederick
Schultz, said to be house detective at
the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Wilson escaped
with slight wound in the foot
According to Schultz, Wilson promised
him $1,000 to take Florence Rosser
Sehenck, with whom the famous whip
had his best-known affair to San Fran
cisco and there murder her Miss
Schenck died last January from a broken
heart, her friends said. 1t was after a
conversation of 10 or Is minutes dura-
ton on this subject yesterday afternoon
that Schultz suddenly pulled a revolver
and emptied 1t at Wilson.
Stable men rushed forward and
wrenched the revolver from Schultz,
while others lifted Wilson to his feet.
Sheriff Doyle took charge of Schultz,
who began to talk to the excited crowd
around him. He declared that he had
avenged the death OF Miss Schenck
whom Wilson cast off. Before he could
talk further he was hustled away to
cell.
One OF the high priced Vanderbilt
horses, according to witnesses of the at
tack, saved Wilson's life. When Schultz
opened fire the stable manager leaped be-
hind one of the animals, leaving the
sleuth the alternative of killing the horse
or using for his target that part of Will
sons anatomy that was still in range.
This was Wilson's feet and Schultz made
the most Of his opportunity.
Although Schultz denied that he had
intended to harm the famous whip, but
had planned only to scare him, witnesses
say that as he was being led away from
the stables to Jail he shouted back to
Wilson:
II meant to kill you, but I didn't be-
cause you are not good enough for that"
II the shooting follows, as his assailant
asserts, from Wilson's treatment of Flor
ence Schenck, 1t is the fourth or fifth
event III tne ulterHlatn OF trouble directly
connected with six months in the summer
of 1906, when the whip and the beautiful
daughter of DR.. p. S. Schenck, of Nor
folk, Va, finished season at the London
horse show with gay tour of smart set
cafes In that city and Paris.
Wilson met Miss Schenck that year
when she was eighteen years old and he
was 40. He persuaded her. the girl claim
ed under promise of marriage, to make a
secret trip to Richmond. Va. on which
Wilson explained that he was married
but that as soon as he was free he would
make her his wife.

PURE-BRED VS.. SCRUB RAMS
Results Of Test Made at Missouri Uni
Verslty Show Poor Animals
Curtali the Incomes.

The University OF Missouri has pub
lished a circular giving results of a
test in which pure-bred rams were
compared with scrub rams as produ.
GERS OF lambs. The average gain Of
lambs sired by pure-bred ram was
over two and half pounds more at
three months Of age than the gain OF
lambs sired by scrub ram at four
months OF age. And the scrub lambs
ate SO per cent, more grain than the
lambs from a pure-bred sire. On the
market the better-bred lambs brought
1875 per hundredweight, while the
scrubs brought $3.50 per hundred
weight. The use of pure bred sires has
been advocated for so long and the
economy of using such rams has been
so repeatedly demonstrated that 1t
would seem that such tests we're no
longer necessary. But still many
sheep-raisers deliberately curtail pos
sible incomes from their focks by
using cheap rams-anything that can
get lambs.
