PROTEST FILED BY
 SAYVILLE COMPANY
Wireless Plant Not Guilty of lm-
 proper or Unneutral ACt

New York, July 9.-Herman A. Metz, president of the Atlantic Conn manifestations company, owner of the Sayville wireless plant which was taken over yesterday by the United States government, declared in a statement issued last night after a of the directors called to dis cuss the governments action, that this company has committed no inn proper or unneutral act. The state ment said the company had filed . protest with the government to pro- tect it's legal and financial and com mercial rights
 Text Of Statement.
 The statement follows:
 By order of the president, the navy department of the United States has this day taken over the control and operation of the Sayville Radio station belonging to the Atlantic Corn- munications company. The new and more powerful transmitting set re- gently installed by the company ana not heretofore used, by means of which more efficient service is as. sured can now be put into operation
 Simply for the purpose of protect ing it's legal and financial and com mercial rights, the company has for mally filed protests against the navy action with the presi- dent and with the state, navy and commerce departme
 Cooperate With U. s. Oficers.
 The company is now able to si- lence the irresponsible criticism which has been directed against it by Loyalty with the officers of the United States navy in maintaining that strict neutrality enjoined by President Wilson's recent proclanna- tion and which in all respects, it has heretofore strictly observed.
 This company has committed no improper or unneutral act. No charge of any such act has been brought to the attention of it's officers by any of- 1cial of the United States. The Kov- ernment censors on duty at the sta. ton have carefully supervised all messages sent and have retained cop ies' of the same. The company being a public service corporation had no discretion in refusing Or accepting messages. As a matter of fact, the station on account of static conditions and also on account of lack of power was unable during the summer months to com municate with Ger many for more than one or two hours during the night. This difficulty will now be overcome by the operation of the new transmitter.
 Articles Absolutely False. Articles recently published in the newspapers of this and other states. attributing unneutral or improper ac- tions to this company. were absolute ly false. This company is prepared to meet every such X accusation if brought to the attention Of the oil cers by any official. of the United States government, Anonymous and irresponsible attacks have been and will continue to be disregarded."

Seven Year old Boy Took for Profes-

.s
 Philadelphia, July 9.--Uncut dla rnonds and other precious stones valued at $10,00o were stolen yester- day from the jewelry store of E. J. Hertz, in the central shopping dis trtct. The theft took place during the rush hours and is believed to have been committed by a 7-year-o1d boy, who acted as tool for professional gem thieves.
 MT. Hertz told the detectives that two women, two men and a small boy came into the store and asked to see scll1s diamonds and sapphires. While the men and women were looking at the stones, he said the boy, who car- ried an urn brella, ran back and forth behind the counter. The boy disap- peared shortly before the others left and an hour later box containing .he gems was found to be missing.

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition., the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless). is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather. and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust.
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves it fine and silky, bright
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t Is
very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

stop at Pickering but It didn't. And
thereby hangs a tale.
The choir, together with several 9TH

the Easter services at the Dunbar
church Sunday evening. All arrange
ments had been made with the train
dispatcher at Oskaloosa to stop the

and d Hfew others, twenty-five IN oil.
The party expected to arrive home at
2:10 this morning, little weary, but
happy in the thought that they had
done good deed in giving the people
Of Dunbar real Easter service.
But alas for the best laid plans of
mice and men,! The order to stop
No. 5 at Pickering was not enforced
for some reason or another. The little
group on the platform saw the head
light approaching, and then saw the
tail lights receding, and that was all

nothing else to do but walk, and walk
they did.

and some later. Rev. Mr.. Ingvoldstad
