F. B. Sherwood, whom several
thusand youngsters out in California

lobby Of the Wolcott yesterday with a
Happy New Year expression and a
poem. Mr.. Sherwood is a. philan-
thropist, who some years ago took it
upon himself to habits of

goods store in Los Angeles, and of

my business has suffered very little on

human bonds. Twice a year I set
aside a share of the profits and divide
1t up among the people who work
with me, n it makes a lot of good

But people in Los Angeles have
really been spending very little this

HOW SPIES GET CREDENTIALS.
Germans Say French Steal Papers 81
German Prisoners.

tfrom a Bulletin Of the German IN
formation Service.I
A story about a new trick used 10y
the french to get their spies behind
n German lines is told in a Berlin
lspatch to h Frankfurter Zeiture.
From advices received here" says
the paper, 1T appears that the French
are compelling German captives in
writing home to ask that their mill
tary papers be sent to them. The
reason is obvious. These valuable pa
pers OF Identification never reach the
prisoners to whom they belong. but
are instead turned over to French
spies TO enable them to carry on their
sinister work in the German Empire.
"Ihe dangerous scheme can be frus-
trated only by the use Of great care
throughout Germany, and the abso-
ute refusal to comply with any such
request for military papers. It is the
uuty OF everybody to notify the au-
thorltles at once On receipt o. n
such request"

That there should be disturbance following a reduction OF

now are improving to such an extent
that the notably bad bread Is being
rapidly bettered, plans are already

1t is proposed to create, from the
present war -four control commission
a state organization, into whose hands
the entire confiscated crop would be
delivered, and whose members would
divide the -four evenly and equally.
The farmers are not at all averse to
the contiscation of the crop and the
establishment Of uniform price for
their product, but they oppose the cen
trail organization plan, and prefer that
the -four pass into the control of the
district commissions, 1t is only the

Even though maximum prices were

 Chief of Police Thomas Robbins of Bar rington. in whose district the crime was committed, and who has charge of the investigation, said tonight that as far as he knew none of the negroes had signed a confession.
 Mrs. Mohr has stoutly maintained hey saying Brown had had grudge against the doctor since his discharge from em- ployment at the Mohr home, and that rob- bery probably was an added incentive.
 Today's repudiation of the alleged con- fessions was made voluntarily and with out the knowledge of counsel. It was made in the form of a statement given to a newspaper man admitted to the jail by the warden. They declared they were wholly innocent of the crime, as was also Mrs. Mohr so far as they knew; that they could prove alibis; that any alleged admissions were made under duress while they were subjected to third degree methods; that the police had put in their mouths statements to which they assent ed in anger or derision and that it was common report that pr. Mohr had enc mics.
 Healis asserted he had found in the doctors car a letter from neighbor in which the latter said he would fill the physician full of bullets if Mohr did not cease his attentions to the writer's wife.

LABOR PARLIAMENT ID MEET AT BRISTOL Attitude of Laboring Men Toward War Will Be
 Defined

Lordon. September 4-4:4O p. m)-The Parliament of Labor. which assemblies in Bristol on Monday in annual sessions promises to be one Of the most momen- tous gatherings in the history of trades union movements of this country The convention, which will represent nearly 100000 organized working men. will take up many important questions. but public attention will be focused on three points The attitude of labor toward the war, toward conscription and in regard to mat ters affecting the working classes during and after the war.
 The attitude of trades unions towards the war has been from the first stanch Justification of Great Britan's action and there Is believed to be no doubt that the congress will declare in favor of viz sorous prosecution of the war.
 Unless all signs fail the attitude of labor will be just as emphatic against conscrip- fion. The congress is expected to adopt a resolution on this subject, characterize ing conscription as reactionary and cal cIlated to impair the national unity, cre- ate acute dissension and involve serious menace to public liberty and the free dom of the labor movement.
 Much discussion will be devoted to the position of labor as affected by the war and the effect of the employment of wom- en in the place of men during the war will be canVassed closely.
