Salvation Army Observes
 Birthday of It's Founder

To members of the Salvation Army this day commemorates an important anniversary, for it marks the eighty sixth birthday Of Gen. William Booth, the founder. and. until his death in 1912, the commander of the famous worldwide militant religious organiza- ton.
 This year will mark the fftieth an niversary Of the founding of the Saliva ton Army by Gen. Booth. In it's half century of existence the army's work has spread to hfty-efght countries and four languages. It has nearly 10,0 ,00O corps and outposts, and men and wo- men of all colors and conditions are engaged in carrying on it's work. : Gen. Booth lived to pass his eighty third milestone, and he left behind him some precepts fors attaining to a Hole and heartyN old age which are worthy of serious consideration by men of all creeds and of none. His seven rules for longevity and earthly happiness are as follows:
 ssEat as litt1e4as possible. The aver age man eats too much. Instead of nourishing his body, he overtaxes it, compelling his stomach to digest more food than it has capacity for.
 Drink plenty of water in prefer ence to adu1terated connections. Wa ter is wholesome nourishment.
 axe =pl0nLy OI G1A0IClSG. IL IS J1St as foolish to develop the, mind and not the body as it is to develop the body and not the mind. Perform some manuaf labor daily; dig, walk, choI wood or, if you can talk with your whole body, why, then. talk; but do il with all your might.
 Have a system, but do not be- a slave of the system. If my hour tc rise is 8 a. m.. and at that time haven't had sufficient Sleep, I take longer time.
 DO not fill your life with lot o1 silly and sordid pleasures, so tha1 | when you come to die you will find you have not really lived.
 oyertax the body and injure not only yourself. but the generations thal come after you.
 Have a purpose in life that pre- dominates above all else, that is bene ficent to those about you, and not tc your own greedy self alone. If there l is one thing for which I am glad it i. that I have found purpose which in wolves not me alone, but all human ity.''
 These precepts ofthe founder of tn. 1 Salvation Army are sustained by thu best medical authorities of the day 1 Eating too much food and drinking 1 too little water are held by progres 1 sfve physicians to be among the mos prolific causes of disease.

COLLEGE MEN CAN EDUCATE OTHERS BY
 PROPER ASSOCIATION
So Says Prof. Hadley of Yale to University Club Mem
 bers At Banquet.

That university graduates might do much good for their fellow man by mixing and intermingIing with those not fortunatef enough to have a college education was what Professor Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale university told the members of the University club at their annual meet ing last night. A college education is merely a preparation for the big problems of life to be met afterward, Prof. Had1ey said. Cooperation be- tween college men and those not for tunate enough to have college edu- cations will work wonderful results, he declared.
 Attorney A. Parker Noven, general counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers depIored the action of Congress and various state Iegis- | 1atures in passing laws which hamper ed the activity and expansion of the manufacturing interests of the coun- l try. He said that unless there was relaxation in this matter there will be continued bushes depression in the country.
 Arthur M. Marsh was toastrnaster at the banquet which was held in the big lining hall. Attorney George E. Hill reviewed the history of the club and on behalf of past officers pre- ! scented the club with a handsome oil painting of Howard H. Knapp, foun- der and first president of the club. It was voted to ask the members of the Stratford avenue bridge commis- sion to explain why they had rejected the plan for the bridge which City ] P1anner John Nolen had recommend de and which was endorsed by the l city plan commission. William E Burnham yesterday gave a long inter l view in which he stated his intention to ask the commission to explain.
 MT. Burnham holds that it it the first
 time in the history of the city that
 expert advice has been available be- fore the beginning of any public inn provement and MT. Burnham thinks that an explanation of the reason fo1 the rejection of MT. NoIen's advice
 should be forthcoming at once.
 The following officers were elected at the club meeting:

CEREAL co. CANNOT

u. s. Court Hands Down I'M
portant Decision in Kellogg
COrnflake Case.
rFnm The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington. Sept 2S. No longer
VII cut rate groccrs be prevented by
price agreements from selling toasted
corrfakes below the figures which the
manufacturer wishes TO be maintained
as the retail price. Under decree en-
tered to-day by the United States Dis
trict Court for the Eastern District Of
Michigan. by agreement between the
government and the Kellogg Toasted
Cornfake Company, the company
agreed to give up its former policy OF
selling TO retailers with the distinct
understanding that the fixed retail
price must be maintained and no pack
ages sold at cut rates.
The decree declared that the plan OF
selling toa ted cornfakes used by the
Kellogg company was in violation of
the act Of Congress against unlawful
restraints and monopolies.
The decree takes effect after Octo-
Der Is OF this year, and is considered
highly important because it estab-
fishes a precedent against the fixing Of
resale prices on food products.
The government brought suit against
the Kellogg company in December
1912, alleging the defendants had no
legal authority 10 fix the resale price
of their property or to suggest or warn
jobbers that if they refused to carry
out the fixed price agreement they
would be cut of from further supply
of toasted cornfakes.

appeared, taking her money and valua-
b.es and leaving her penniless. Until
last Friday the girl remained IN her
room, too frightened TO call for aid.

in the landlady. and a letter was writ
ter 70 her brother who hurried 10 New

S5OO,OOO FRAUD
BY FILM PIRATES

$4,000 Profits Made
from Bogus Reels.
DEALER TAKEN ON
COPYRIGHT CHARGE
Chaplin Pictures Filched from
Originals, Says Prosecutor,
and Sold Over Country.

Film frauds aggregating more than
100000 and bringing profits OF $50.
600 to tho film pirates" who are al
legged to have violated the United
States copyright law were brought to
light yesterday in the arrest by tho
Federal authorities Of Abraham George
Levi. in business at 145 West Forty
fifth Street as the Chaplin Film Com
pany.
Charged with reproducing and sell
ing duplicates Of standard copyright
films. he was arraigned before Com
missioner Clarence s. Houghton and
released on a bond Of $1,000 for 4
hearing October 70.
Levi was taken at the instance Of
Assistant United States Attorney
Harold A. Content for prating the film
known as 1.-THE Champion" in which
Charlie Chaplin is seen as a prize
fighter. This I'm is owned and copy,
righted by the Essanay Company, OF
Chicago. Duplicates Of several films
copyrighted by the Keystone Film
Company have also been seized by the
authorities.
Lewis scheme, according 10 Mr.. Con-
tent. was to obtain by subterfuge,
usually by representing that he was
the owner of movie" show, n stand
ard film at a rental for a day from
the regular and legitimate renting
company. Before returning the film,
the prosecutor says. Levi would have
a duplicate negative made, at a cost
Of three and half cents a foot. From
the negative hundreds of positive
films were made for distribution at
prices far below the Essahay and Key
stone rates TO proprietcrs of small
picture shows in distant parts of the
country.
Because Of the low price Of the
pirated duplicates, purchasers Of films
from the original producing companies
complained of special rates allowed 20
councillors. These complaints, Mr.
Content says, led to an investigation
which disclosed the fact that the
pirating of standard and expensive
films, made at an expense Of thousands
of dollars a reel, was being carried on
with great profit 10 the counterfeit
ers and great loss to the owners, de-
spite the fact that the owners were
supposed to be protected by copyright
During the three months that Levi
operated as the Chaplin Film Com
pany. Mr. Content says that his profits
must have been more than $4,000. He
saws that Lewis arrest is but the
first in the crusade against unauthor-
lied and unlicensed reproducers OF
