Bohemian Reformer.

A Sn,endid tribute was palo Inc

Of July, 1415, in the city OF Con-

and men of affairs of Europe gather

state, John Huss a deposed rector OF
the University of Prague, and eX,
priest of Bethlehem Chapel, was pub
licly disgraced and condemned to
death on charge of heresy. lie
was led through the hooking croWt
to a meadow outside the city gates
and burned at the stake His noble
spirit passed up to God in a chariot
of fire, where he received a martyrs
crown, and his ashes were thrown
into the Rhine river. But his work
still abides. Though dead he YET
speaks a great word of awakening
and abiding inspiration. 1t is we'll tc
pause and contemplate the life ant
labors of such men as inspired the
reformation and brought in a univer.
sal Professionalism. Bohemia, the
largest state of Austria, became the
storm centre of controversy, and Johr
Huss and the city of Prague were
vitality connected. He was man OF
courageous spirit and militant ma

titude and perseverance,. He had reat

John Huss. The pulpit of Bethlehem
Chapel was his throne of power
crowds heard him preach with great
eloquence and power. He Numbered
against sinful practices Of priests auG
people alike. He soon became the
dominant personality of Prague and
all Bohemia. For his views he was
adjudged hereto and died at the
stake rather than recant. Louis OF
Bavaria babe him renounce his er,

that all that l have written and

MYRTLE REEDS BROKEN

Home Drunk"

Chicago. July 1s.-Four years ago the
story of Myrtle Reed. the author. who
had immortalized her husband, James
Sydney Mccullough, in prose and verse.

mitted suicide in Paradise Flat"
During the five years Of her married
life her model husband" as she called
Mccullough. was believed to have fur
nshed the inspiration for Lavender and
Old Lace" THE Masters Violin" and
other love stories from her pen.
Mystery shrouded her death and an
effort was made to hush up the sug-
gestion that she was convinced that her
husband no longer loved her. A note
addressed to her aged mother made all
clear. 1t was submitted to the surrogate
yesterday as will in favor of the
mother. Mrs. Reed left about 81, 900.
The letter read:

MARRIED MEN ALLOWED
UNDER BRITISH COLORS
If They Want to Fight for Their Coun.
try They Can. Says K;!chener's
Office.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, July lH.-It seems to have been
definitely settled that England will not
alter the policy of enlLStinE married
men into her armies despite the opposi-
ton that has arisen in the house of COM
mons and in the newspapers. The war
office has made a definite reply TO the
men who have put the question in Par
Lament and it practically tells them
that II" Interference with the present
plans will be tolerated.
The system of recruiting in Great
Britain always has been to take an
applicant for enlistment without ques-
tioning him as TO his domestic encum-
ORANGES. This has not been changed
since the war started and has led to
some cases Of distress which caused
public outcry. These cases the war Of
flee will leave for the civil authorities
to deal with while the men are at the
front.
It seems quite certain that were it
not for married men entering the army
it would be almost impossible to fill up
the ranks that now are gaping for men
and it is men that the nation needs most
according to army and navy officials.

PEACE NOT EXPECTED

Bridgeport. Conn. July 1s.-With the
stage set for a great strike against the
Remington Company's plants tomorrow
Fat noon, the labor leaders suddenly de-
cided tonight not to ring up the curtain
Just yet.
The move which checked the strike,
which was expected to include all New
England, was the urgent request Of an
influential New York man. who has large
business interests in Bridgeport.
This man asked John A. Johnson. vice
president of Structural Iron Workers
Association, to postpone the strike. To
this he agreed. Everyone expected a
walkout tomorrow at the Remington
Arms factory. followed by a demonstra-
ton outside the Remington Union Metal
lie Cartridge Company.
Leaders Not Optimfstic.
While there may be a temporary hold
up of the strike, labor leaders are by
no means confident that arbitration will
result in the granting of all demands.
None of the twenty-three labor leaders
here contemplated any alteration in the
plans. Johnson said this unknown par
ticipant would communicate with the
unions by noon tomorrow. II there were
any chance for concessions on the part
of the Remington companies.
1t was thought here the man in ques-
ton might be Marcellus Hartley Dodge,
president of the Remington interests. but
Johnson said the person he spoke Of was
not connected with that firm.

ENGLAND WEARS RESPIRATORS.
Can Use Them II Zeppeins Drop
Poison Gases.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, July 1S.-Every drug store
now displays prominently gas respira-
tors to be worn in the event of Ger
man Zeppelins dropping poison gases
and these command a ready sale. A
Hampstead mother writes to a London
newspaper:
"Respirator drill is especially i'm
portant in households where there are
young children. Fright sometimes has
very serious consequences for chill
dren. and nothing could be calculated
to brighten a child more than a masked
person bursting into its bedroom in
the middle of the night.
For this reason l have given my
children respirators and also accustom-
ed them to seeing their parents wear
ing respirators. My babies will not
go to bed without the 'respy' now. And
they thoroughly understand its use.
Their last call at bedtime is for the
'respy'"

Green Has Record.
William Green, the life convict who
attacked Frank. appears quite composed
as he lays on a cot in the rear Of the
big dormitory with his legs chained to
a concrete post. The report of his being
in a private cell or dungeon is untrue.
According to Green's statement he has
killed two men, lobe Reese, and o. S.
Kitchens, three years ago. for which
crime he was given a life sentence. Be-
fore the trial he was examined by a
lunacy commission. which pronounced
him sane. DIR. L. NJ. Jones, superinten-
dent of the State Sanitarium, was on the
commission. Green is "a years old. He
was born in Memphis. Tenn. but has
lived in Georgia twenty-five years. He
was sent up from Columbus. Ga, where
his wife still lives. Mrs. Green says her
husband is crazy.
Green said today there was no plot
among the prisoners to kill Frank. He
said that he had an inspiration that he
should kill Frank and that he alone was
concerned in the attempt. He told Of
aiding in the butchering of hogs on
Saturday morning. how he had hidden a
butcher knife in his clothing. carried
it to bed with him and then how he at
tackled Frank as the latter slept
No Quarrel with Frank.
Green admitted that he had talked
with other convicts of the Frank case.
but said that they had not influenced
him in any way. He took all the blame
for the attack on his own shoulders and
said that while he thought he was doing
right he now regretted his act
Supt Smith said this afternoon that
Green had not been permitted to read
newspapers or anti-Frank literature
Green read the Bible" said the su-
perintendent. THE Bible was furnished
to him at the library. He studied 1t
whenever he had an odd moment. He
seemed to be getting religion. l knew
that Green was a bad man, but never
dreamed that he would attack a fellow
convict. l had instructed the guards to
avoid quarrels with him, as such might
result seriously
Did Green have quarrel with
Frank" he was asked.
NO; absolutely no." said the superin-
tendent. They appeared 10 be friends.
That is why the attack Is all the more
shocking"

Governor VIII Probe Case.

Atlanta. July lS.->Iov. Nat E. Harris
will urge the prison commission to in
vestigata the attempt to kill Leo NJ.
Frank in order TO learn whether Green.
who attacked Frank, acted on his own
initiative or was the tool of confederates.
So many rumors OF violence to Frank
and threats upon his life have come to
the executives attention that he feels
that there should be a thorough inves-
tigation.
1t was also inferred from the remarks
of Gov Harris that the proposed probe
should be extended to the disciplinary
system of the State prison. Guards and
officials will be called upon to explain
why Green was able to smusgle the
knife into ne dormitory and make his
attack upos sleeping men without inter-
ference.
The governor kept in close touch with
Milledgeville all this afternoon. Shortly
after noon he held a long talk over the
long-distance telephone with DR.. George
B. Compton. the prison surgeon who Is
attending Frank. DR.. Compton assured
Gov. Harris that the patient was hold
ing his own, and that the greatest danger
was from possible blood poisoning.
Gov Harris received this afternoon an
appeal from a body of citizens of small
city near Columbus asking that Green
he pardoned. The appeal was made by
wire, the message reading:
We, the undersigned, respectfully ap-
peal to you to pardon William Green.
