Food Riots Occur Daily
In Portugal; Al Meat Is
Sold For British Army

Lisbon, Portugal. Nov. 20.-Portugal
is more remote from the seat Of war
than any other country in Europe, but
Il Is suffering a scarcity OF food that
is as serious as that in some OF the
beIIigerent countries.
Provision stores and depots are the
scenes Of almost daily riots in protest
against the conditions
The scarcity Of food IS due in part
to the fact that successive governments
of Portugal have bound themselves to
supply Great Britain with certain guam
titles OF provisions sent to Gibraltar.
Under this agreement large numbers
of cattle and miscellaneous provisions
are sent out Of the country every week
with the result that there has been
almost no meat in the markets Of Lis
bon The egg supply is also less than
half OF what it is il ordinary times

BRITISH ARREST THREE
ALLEGED GERMAN SPIES
Trio Bearing TeutOniC Names
Likely to Be Arraigned Be-
fore High Court.

LONDON. April 9. - Three men
bearing German names, one of whom
recently came here from the United
States, were arrested today by British
secret service agents on the charge of
being German spies. They are accused
of communicating naval and military
Information To a continental address
by means of letters written in invis-
ible ink
The men gave the names of Kuep-
perle, Muller and Hahn. Kuepperle
recently arrived in England from New
York and since his arrival here he has
been under surveillance. He visited
Dublin, where he told many persons
that he contemplated returning to
America at once, by way of Liverpool
Instead of doing SO, he attempted to
go to the continent. Being unable TO
get the necessary passports, kuepperle
returned to London, where he was
arrested at his hotel.
Muller claims to be a British sub
ject, although his parents are natur-
allied Germans. Hahn is understood
To be a German citizen.
The men are being held in com
municadO and will probably be ar
raigned on the charge of espionage at
the next sitting of the high court.
Charles Dyon. a reporter, was fined
S25 for supplying news TO the press
calculated TO be of use TO Germany
and Edward Newman. editor OF the
Southern Times was fined $50 for pub
fishing a report of similar nature

Invention For Use in Sea
Disasters.

Charles II. Frye, president of the
Columb bia Mattress Co. has just been
granted patent for a combined mat
tress and life raft. This mattress is

TO. liz will float for several hours
supporting the weight OF the human
body.
George ]. Oitsch OF this city repre-
sented Mr.. Frye before the patent
office.
The Frye mattress is filled with
preparation known as "Zephyrsilk."
made from kapok. a fbrou5 material
taken from the seed pods OF tropical
tree This filling is five times more
buoyant than cork and furthermore
IS thoroughly non-absorbent. Due to
this fact IL will float indefinitely and
carry 3 weight OF 200 pounds or more.
Along the sides OF the mattress are
small clasps which will sustain as
many persons as can find a hold on
the mattress.
Two pockets are constructed in one
end OF the mattress which contain

ATTEMPT To TEST
TRADING STAMP
LAW IS FAILURE
Plaintiff Fails to Comply With
Requirements of Indiana Law
and Suit Goes Out on Tech
niCaIity-WiII Try Again.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 8
The attempt to test the constitution
ality OF the new Indiana law fixing a
tax Of $1,000 for the use of trading
stamps, came to an abrupt end in
federal court today, when it was dis
covered that the Home Merchants
Trading association of Louisville, KY.
which brought the suit. had unwit-
tingly failed to comply with the re-
quirements for foreign corporations
doing business in Indiana. The case
was dismissed without prejudice and
probably will be brought again.
II was announced by Atty. w. A
Pickens, representing the Sperry and
Hutchinson Co. that this company
also will bring suit attacking the val
idity of the act
United States District Judges Kohl
saat, Geiger and Anderson heard the
presentation OF the home associations
case before the suit was Withdrawn.
The main contention of the plain
tiff association was that the trading
stamp business was simply an adver-
tising business and that they should
not be compelled to pay license of
$1,000 for each Of the 400 stores in
Indiana with which they do business
while other systems of advertising are
not compelled to do likewise The act
violates both state and federal laws,
according to the contention of the at
torneys.
