Ross Has Been Going Fast 0ait.
For the last several months Ross
has been travelling fast gait In this
and other cities. The gait proved too
fast for him, however, and the end
came with sudden crash, like It has
for many others who have attempted
the fast and furious pace-the pace
that kills.
Since his wedding to Miss Agnes
White, member OF an old and prom
inent family Of this city, several
months ago. he has been well supplied
with money and has tried to show
that he was a good fellow and was
a prince among the fast ones. Since
his wedding, 1t Is said that he has
been the owner OF three automobiles.
Soon after their wedding, his wife
presented him with an automobile
and they took trip in It to Chicago.
After thew were there few days, 1t
is claimed, Ross sent his wife home
and essayed to take in the sights of
the big city with some young women
friends whom he had met there. The
funds on hand, however. did not last
very long and the story goes that he
sold the machine that had been pre-
sented him for $1,000. When a part
OF THIS money was spent he again
concluded that he wanted another
auto and money was furnished him
for It's purchase. but before he could
return to Quincy he Is said to have
completely wrecked the machine IN
Chicago. Since his return third
auto, q big Cadillac, eight, came In
his possession and It was In this that
he is said to have taken Miss Deck
on a trip through Missouri, Illinois
and Iowa during the present week.

Lord Kitchener Goes 10 Eastern
Field Of War; Daily Globe Seized

London--"Lord Kitchener, at the
request of his colleagues, has left
England for short visit to the east
ern theater Of war;"
This announcement, made after a
cabinet council-an unusual meeting
for Saturday-and a long audience
which Premier Asquith had with the
king, set at rest rumors current as to
the war secretary's present intentions.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement of Lord Kitchener's pro-
posed visit to the east, the authorities
seized the printing plant of the Lon
don Globe, together with late issues.
This is the first action of the kind
taken by the authorities since the out
break of the war against daily paper
in the United Kingdom. Some week.
ly papers, both in England and Ire
land, including the Labor Leader.
were similarly treated some time ago,
but the Labor Leader, after secret
trial of the case, was allowed to re-
sumo publication.
The Globe, while one of the Oldest
papers published in the country and
long considered staid and conserva-
tive organ. has latterly lost that char
acter and has been chiefly noted for its
violent attacks on public men during
the administration Of the liberal gov
ernment. 1t has been one of the gov
ernment's bitterest opponents and has,
since the war, attacked virtually all of
the members Of the government.

Onion Prices to Soar.

The favorable turn Of the weather is
welcomed by Oregon and Washington
onion growers, who have no fear now
Of the long keeping Of their product.
The market at the moment is quiet,
but the prospects for the future could
hardly be brighter. The smallness of
the Eastern crop. which is shown by
official returns, is the cause of the un-
derlying strength Of values and leads
growers to believe that the best prices
in recent years will be realized before
the season is over.
The governments estimate on the
acreage, yield and production Of onions
this year gives this seasons acreage
in Ohio as a little over one-third Of
that Of 1914 with yield of one-fourth
per acre compared with the previous
year. The total Ohio production this
year is estimated about 3S3, 900 bush
els, compared with over $500, 900
bushels in 1914. According to the re-
port, all other Middle Western and
Eastern onion producing states have
greatly decreased productions, partic-
ularly Indiana, which has about one
fifth. Massachusetts, New York and
Michigan outputs run from one-half to
three-fourths of last year.
Six of the seven Western and Pa
cific Coast onion states have an in
crease. The productions of onions this
year in the IL important onion-grow-
ing states is estimated at 13,801, 709
bushels, as compared with 2i,90l,0l4
bushels in 1914, decrease of 81 per
cent. The states included in this esti-
mate are Massachusetts, New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Washing
ton, Oregon and California.

Prune Advance Sudden.

: The prune market of the Northwest
has had a sudden and sharp advance,
but at q time when it does this section
but little good. Not only is the 1915
pack out Of first hands, but practically
all out Of second hands, as well.
The course of the market, which is
due solely to the export demand, has
been great surprise to the trade.
Prune dealers and packers fhad anti
cipated slow demand because of the
war, and consequently low prices. In
stead of this, the business has assumed
very large proportions and prices are
advancing at rapid rate. 1t is esti-
mated that the trade in the United
States, since the season opened, has
been 80 per cent larger than ever be-
fore in the corresponding period.

Hindu Pamphlet Containing Bryan
Ideas Barred From Mails to India

San Fancisco-A pamphlet in Hindu
containing extracts from William J..
Bryan's British Rule in India" was
excluded Wednesday from the United
States mails to India at the request of
the British government, according to
an announcement by Ram Chandra,
editor of the Hindu Gadar, published
here.
The pamphlet is made up Of 16
pages, containing extracts from Mr..
Bryan's book, and is entitled "Angan
di Gawahl, " which in English means
British Rule in India"
After sending copies to India from
San Francisco, Ram Chandra received
a formal notice from Postmaster Fay.
II have to inform you" said the no
tice, "that the government of Idnia
has prohibited the importation into
British India of any copy of the
pamphlet entitled 'Angan di Gawahl, ;
published by Yugantar, San Farncisco,
whatever may be the language in
which the pamphlet referred to may be
printed.
"Under these circumstances it will
be necessary for this Office to decline
to accept for mailing to British India
copies of the pamphlet referred to-"
Mr.. Bryan's book, an arraignment
Of the British government of India, ia
based on personal investigation made
on histour around the world several
years ago. Mr.. Bryan charges that
the British, with the aid of native
Princes, have been exploiting the peo
pie to the extent Of driving countless
numbers Of Hindus into famine ever,

SUBMARINE SINKS ITALIAN LINER;
$50 LIVES ARE REPORTED LOST

| Rome, via Paris-The Italian liner
Ancona was sunk Wednesday by q
large submarine flying the Austrian
colors. She carried 422 passengers
and 100 in the crew.
1t is reported that $50 lives have
been lost.
Two hundred and seventy survivors,
some Of them wounded, have been
landed at Bizerta.
New York--The Ancona sailed from
New York for Naples on October IL.
She had on board 1245 Italian reserv-
lists and a general cargo. She arrived
at Naples on October 20 and was due
to sail from Naples for New York at
once.
She had gross tonnage Of 8210,
was 482 feet in length and IS feet

All of her officers, engine-room force
and members of the crew were aliens
who shipped from Italy.
For several months before Italy's
entrance in the war the Ancona was
engaged in carrying home Italian re-
servists from this country and supplies
for the Italian government. On one
of her trips from New York to Naples
late in August last year the Ancona
was stopped by the British at Gibral-
tar and "a Germans and one Austrian
were taken off the ship.
Late last summer the Ancona left
here for Italy with $4,000 bushels of
wheat, 1000 tons Of hay and 500 horses
for the Italian government. On the
same voyage she carried 800 Italians
in the steerage who went back. be-
cause, it was said at the time, they
could not get work in the New York
subway.
William Hartfield, general manager.
of the Italian line, characterized the
sinking of the Ancona as ''an unneces-
sary crime" and absolute murder. ;"
He Immediately cabled the. Naples
office of his firm, asking for all infor-

Although he had no list of her pas
sengers, Mr.. Hartfeld said the Ancona

II Doesn't Mix With Business.

In an interesting but unindexed
book, called How to Deal with HUI
man Nature in Business" written by
Sherwin Cody and published by Funk
G Wagnalls, we read on page 401:
Formerly it was thought that for
sociability salesman must drink with
his customers. Scientific investiga-
tion has shown that there are far more
customers who do not care for that
kind of sociability than who do, and
now the vast majority Of statesmen on
the road make it special point never
to call on a customer with breath
that smells of alcohol. Those who do
not mind it are not repelled by a clean
breath, and those who do mind it are
saved from something that disgusts
them"
The last two sentences could be re-
written to advantage, but they state
an important fact: booze and business
do not mix This fact has been seen
and tested by the keenly intelligent
men who want more business, and
they are acting on it.-Colliers.

Naval Defense Esse ntiaI, 4

The best naval authorities declare
that our sea power has declined most
deplorab1y in the past year or two.
European navies, in spite OF their
losses, are growing more powerful and
efficient. through building submarines
and other types of warships faster
than they are sacrificing them. With
rigid economy, and some changes in
the revenue laws, our national income
will reach the level of our necessary
outgo for ordinary purposes. The ex-
traordinary bills, for national defense,
might in view of essential facts be
met by an issue Of bonds. An Amer
lean public that has money to lend to
European governments would much
rather lend to Uncle Sam. Whatever
may be thought of large army. there
is clear and definite demand for a
navy that will enable this country to
help secure the freedom of the seas.
We have reason to invest in a navy
as protector of our coasts and a
guarantor of our commercial interests.
