though no details are added to the
brief statement made in the Rus
sian official communication the day
after the attack took place.
All the belligere1t powers are
rapidly building submarines, and it
is reported that Austria has nine at
Pola alone. Thus the Italian ships
will run serious risks in moving
about the waters of the Adriatic,
which are well suited to the SUBJ
mersibles.
So far as land battles are concern
ed, interest still centers in southern
Poland, where the Russians, strong
~ reinforced with both men and
guns, and with their railways and
the fortresses of Ivangorod and
Best-Litovsk to draw upon, have
held the Austro-German attempt to
outf1ank Warsaw from the south
west. The Austrians last night made
the admission that before superior
Russian forces they have withdrawn
to the hills to the north of Kras-
mix.
Further heavy fighting must take
place in this region, but the Rus
sian military writers express conf
dence that now any efforts by the
Germanic allies to deliver a light
ming blow has been discounted and
that the grand dukes army will be
able to hold it's positions and per-
haps drive the invaders back.
While this is going on it is be-
lieved there is little probability Of
the Germans detaching any part of
their eastern armies for a renewed
offensive in the west and that if
such a move is made it must be I'M
dertaken by fresh troops. There is
already heavy fighting at several
points in the west, notably in the
Woevre district, where the French
have regained some of the ground
they have lost to the southeast of
St. MihieI, and at Souches, where
the French have made a further ad-
vance toward the village. But there
is no evidence as yet of the arrival
of any new armies, which Dutch re-
ports persistently repeat are being
moved through Belgium.
The Austrians and Montenegrins
have resumed fighting and both
sides claim successes.

Herr Won Jagow asked to be ex-

on the note but discussed the diff

had been conducted, owing to the
slowness and incompleteness of COM

the United States and "the obstruc-

between the German and American
press and public"

BOY OF I, SUS-
PECTED GEM THIEF
Police Believe He Is An Accomplce

appears From Store.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 9.-Uncut
diamonds and other precious stones
valued at $4,000 were stolen yes
terday from the jewelry store of E.
J. Hertz, located in the central shop
ping district.
The theft took place during the
rush hours and is believed to have
been committed by 7-year-old boy,
who acted as tool for professional
gem thieves.
Mr.. Hertz told detectives that two
women, two men and a small boy
came into the store and asked to see
some diamonds and sapphires. While
the men and women were looking
at the stones, he said, the boy, who
carried an umbrella, ran back and
forth behind the counter. The pros
pective customers finally decided
that none of the gems was "exact-
ly what they wanted" and purchas-
ed a cheap scarf pin.
Meanwhile the boy had disappear
ed and an hour later a box contain
ing the gems was found to be miss
ing. The authorities believe the
boy concealed the box in his UNI
brella and slipped out of the store
unnoticed. Several other customers
were in the establishment at the
time.

PROMOTERS DEATH
IS A MYSTERY
F. P. Graves, Chicago, Found Dead
of Pistol Shot-Had Been Largely
Interested in Land Projects.

Chicago, July 9.-Frank P.
Graves, wealthy lawyer and promo
ter and president of the North Caro-
lima Land company, was found dead
on the floor of his garage at his
home at Lake Forest, residence
suburb, yesterday.
A revolver, one chamber empty,
was by his side. He died from a
wound in his head without having
recovered consciousness. Richard
Crawford, his brother-in-law, said
Mr.. Graves had been shot whether
by accident or generalization, we
don't know"
One of the theories that disputes
that of suicide is that Mr.. Graves
was surprised by a robber and in a
struggle his revolver was wrenched
from his hand and turned on its
owner
He was "A years old. In addition
to being president of the North Car
DINA company, he was president of
the Cornwall Land company, a Flor
ida concern. He was the owner Of
the Edgewater club, a summer re-
sort at st. Joseph, Mich, and had
other interests in that city. He serv-
ed as captain in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. He was graduated from
the University of Michigan.

the London Guild hall to make an
appeal for recruits and particularly
for reserves for the great army he
has raised since the outbreak Of the
war.
The great need of the moment,
said Earl Kitchener, was men, ma

raised by loan was success, he said,
and he assured the meeting that the
question of material was being dealt
with in highly satisfactory manner
by the new ministry Of munitions.
"But there still remains the vital
need of men," he declared. "MenI

London, July 9.-The Italian
navy has suffered it's first serious
loss, an Austrian submarine having
successfully torpedoed the cruiser
Amalfi in the narrow waters of the
Adriatic. Most of the crew were
saved. This is the second allied
warship to fall a victim to an Aus

cruiser Leon Gambetta having, earl
Ter in the war, been caught in the
Ionian sea.

John and Nathaniel Damewood
They were brought to Bedford and
lodged in the county Jail here by AS
sistant Attorney General c. A. Rob-
bins and Attorneys W. W. Bulman
and A. H. Landes of Charlton, who
accompanied Sheriff G.. H. Whitman
to Clarinda. Both of the Damewoods
are past 60 years old.
Samuel Scrivner and Bates Hunts
man. who were arrested Thursday
at their homes near Bedford, were
released last night on $4,000 bail
each. Both Of these men and the
Damewoods deny any guilt in con-
nection with the crime and none Of
them appears greatly concerned by
the proceedings.
Both Old Men.
Scrivner is IS years old and
worth $4,000. He is one of the
most prominent men in Taylor coun-
ty, lodge man, and bears a good
reputation, all of which adds to the
interest in his case.
Huntsman, wilite-beared old
man of II, is in much poorer cir
cumstances, and is said to have
hard time getting along. 1t is said
that he has poured a large amount
Of money into efforts to locate the
hidden treasure chest on the old
Collins farm. ten miles southwest of
Bedford. The Damewoods are also
reckoned poor by the people of Bed
ford.
Bedford Stirred Up.
This little city has suddenly found
itself the center of interest for the
entire middle west, and nothing is
discussed here but the astounding
arrests which came as complete
surprise to most Of the citizens. Lit
tie knots of people are gathered on
every street corner of the business
district discussing the situation, re-
calling rumors that they have heard
from their childhood and trying to
make a connected whole of the frag-
ments of information now in their
possession.
The legend of the buried treasure
dates from 1878, but the story now
incorporated in charges of murder
against men who have been the life
long acquaintance of a majority of
the people of Bedford comes to most
Of them in an entirely new aspect. 1t
adds sensationalism to the story to
think that these men were a part of
the gang which shot cattleman and
put his son to death one night half
a century ago and then buried
chest said to contain 100000 in
gold, which the stockman was carry
ing in a wagon. This part of the
tale never had been heard by most
Of them Until Sam Anderson of Lu-
cas- county told his fantastic story.
It is dimmed by the passage of many
years and on this account the town
IS divided in matter Of credence.
Some believe the story and some do
lot.
Legends Of the James boys, Frank
md Jesse, and other notorious guer-
lila bands which followed in the
wake of the civil war are involved
n the wierd tales. The four men
will be arraigned in the district I
ourt here next Tuesday.

of all good roads advocates concerned
to hold a joint congress during the
exposition.
Both organizations are requested
by two members on the executive
committee, the fifth member having
been elected by the other four. The
selection of Governor Gates as the fifth
member is felt to be peculiarly fortu-
nate, not only on account of his Off
cial position and his ability and fair
ness, but because of the fact that he,
for ten years or more, was the state
highway commissioner of Vermont,
and it was due to his record in this
office that he was elected governor
by one of the largest majorities ever
given governor in that state.
This election to the governorship
is one of the highest tributes ever
paid to road builder, and SO far as
known is the first instance on record
Of such recognition.

1t is natural for poultry to roost, SO
they cannot be blamed for this pro-

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
TO HOLD CONGRESS AT FAIR
The Leading Good Roads Associations
Of the United States to Meet at
Panama-Pacific Exposition.

Preliminary plans have been COM
pleted for what promises to be the
largest gathering of good roads advo-
Gates ever held. This meeting will be
held at the Panama-Pacific interna-
tional exposition and will be known as
the Pan-American road congress 1t
will be under the joint auspices of
the American Road Builders associa-
ton and the American Highway asse-
citation. The tentative date selected
is that of the week of September 6
The plans for the congress will be
handled by an executive committee
of five This committee is made up
of Gov. Charles W. Gates of Vermont,
chairman; W. w. Crosby, former state
highway engineer of Maryland, and E.
l.. Powers, editor OF Good Roads, rep
resenting the American Road Build
ers' association, and James H. Mac
Donald, former state highway commits
sioner of Connecticut, and j. e Pen
nybacker, chief of division of econom-
les, United States office of public roads,
representing the American Highway
association.
AT the meeting held in Montpelier,
w.t. on March IS, Governor Gates was
elected the fifth member and chair
man of the committee. In order to
facilitate its work the committee has
appointed the same among four sub
committees, as follows Finance,
James H. Macdonald; program, w.
w. Crosby; publicity, e. L. Powers,
and arrangements, j. E Pennybacker
1t is expected that this meeting will
bring together not only official rep
resentatives from every state but also
from the Canadian provinces and
tries. Official invitations will soon be
issued to the governors of the several
states to appoint delegates.
The members of the committee have
been working for some months in
making preparations for this meet
ing, and great interest has been shown
in the work by those identified with
highway improvement. The co-opera,
ton of other good roads organizations,
the railroads and others, is promised,
with the result that it is expected
that the meeting will mark mile
stone in the propaganda for good
roads.
The organization under whose aus
pieces the joint congress will be held
are known as the two leading good
roads associations of the United
States. Both associations during the
last few years have held successful
congresses Independently, but this
year it was felt, in view of the Pana-
ma-Pacific international exposition,
that it would best serve the interests

a pulley attached to the ceiling, so
the window may be pulled open for
summer ventilation.
Ventilation is supplied regularly
and continuously in winter by cover
ing the lower front openings with thin
cotton or muslin instead of glass. This
is the most natural and satisfactory
way of letting fresh air into the poul-
try house in winter, and it works well
in summer.
The air enters under the low roof and
follows the slant of the roof back to
the roosting quarters. The body heat
of the fowls is sufficient to keep up
circulation, SO that the air in poultry
house built like this and filed to the
limit with poultry, is always in good
condition
The droppings board is not fastened
in place. 1t rests on cleats and fits
close against the ends and back of the
building SO that no draft can come
up from underneath. Fresh air must
come up along the roof slat directly
from the ventilated openings in the
front of the house. AS the air loads
up with impurities it becomes heavier
and settles to the floor, and gradually
finds its way out through the lower
part of the front openings. The circu-
lation of air may be modified by the
force of strong winds at times, but the
practical working of this sort of ven
tilation is the nearest right of anything
that has ever been applied to the
ventilation of poultry houses.
The droppings board has. two legs
in front to keep the board level and
even. The roosts are supported on
standards set on top of the droppings
board, and the nests are fastened I'M
derneath the droppings board. This
arrangement leaves the floor of the
house free for litter.
All of the house furniture is con-
structed for easy removal to be car
ried outdoors. for cleaning very
necessary operation in connection
with poultry house.
The feeder hoppers for holding grit,
charcoal and ground oyster shell are
hung against the sides of the building.
These hoppers have hinged covers
that drop down at an angle of about
As degrees to prevent chickens from
roosting on the tops of the hoppers.
