IN dealing with tho routing cues
ton, the subcommittee hit upon n
scheme which IN the opinion OF its
members. will eliminate the congestion
on Grove and other popular West End
avenues and at the same time will not
encounter the objections that were Iav-
'l!ed by 1itncy men against the fixed
routes OF tho repealed ordinance
RELIEVES CONGESTION ON
GROVE AND Park AVENUES
The proposed new ordinance provides
TOT no routes ana allows utncyS TO
operate at will anywhere in the city
and upon any streets. 1t provides
however. that jitrcy buses operating
on. Grove Avenue must proceed only
in an eastcrly direction. Likewise It
is provided, jitneys must travel only
IN an eastcrly direction on rark Az

CulFuCHT SINKING
ERROR BY GERMANS
Commander Of Submarine Failed
to Notice Flag.

Washington, June 1.-Ambassador
Gerard, at Berlin, has been formally
notified that the American steamer
Gulf1ight was torpedoed through mis-.
take. The German submarine com.
mander reported that he failed to
notice the Gulfight's American flag
and took her for a British vessel.
The state department announce.
ment says:
1.-THE American ambassador at Der.
lin reports that the chief of the ad.
miralty staff, Admiral Behnke, has
informed him that the commander of
the submarine. which torpedoed the
Gulflight, did so through mistake, be-
cause two boats, similar to trawlers,
one carrying wireless apparatus, were
apparently conveying the Gulflight.
"The commander, therefore, thought
it a British boat and did not notice
the American flag on the stern until
just after giving the order to fire."
The Gulflight was attacked in the
English channel on May 1, while
bound from Port Arthur, Tex, for
Rouen, France, with cargo Of oil.
Two members of the crew were
drowned while taking to the. boats
and the captain died the following
day from heart trouble, brought on
by his experience.

BEAR|SH REACTION
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Possibilities of Dardanelles Being Opened to Russia's
 Supply Affect Prices

Chicago. September 29.--wheat, under went a bearish reaction today largely in consequence of reports which suggested a growing likelihood of the opening of the Daroanelles. The market closed unsettled to 1ssc net lower. with December at s45s ds4sc and May at 97l1Gs7sse. Corn lost 1zG2Ac and oats shade to 1i.c.. In pro- visions the result ranged from 7iac de- cline to rise of 25c.
 Heaviness in the wheat market during most of the day was in decided contrast with strength shown at tne outset. In the early trading wet weather northwest and forecast of more had seemed to threaten delay to the spring crop. and there were advices of higher prices at Liverpool on account of difficulty in ob- taining adequate supplies. The conse- qrent upturn In allotatio here. however, proved brief. Notice that receipts in the northwest showed material enlargement
 instead of falling off was followed by renewal of gossip that the Canadian duty or wheat might be abolished for six Then came word that foreigners at the seaboard were reselling comestic spring wheat and taking in exchange equal amounts of Manitoba.
 Attention to the possibilities of the Dardanelles being opened to Russia's vast supply of stored wheat finally resulted in a majority of dealers turning decisively to the bear side. There was a rush by longs to unload and by shorts to rein state lines. Subsequent rallies were slight.
 Corn sagged under the influence of talk about Argentine competition and because of the downturn in wheat. Cold weather and predictions of frost failed to have any lasting bullish effect.
 Oats merely reflected the weakness of other grain. Trade was light Packers buying rallied the provisions. The market at first was in the hands of bears owing to a temporary decline in the hog market
 Future ullOtations were as fo1iows.

COTTON PRICES
 BREAK SEA BALE
Market Rallied But Became Sensationally Weak Un-
 der Heavy Selling

New York September 29.-There was @ break of nearly 8 per bale in the cotton market here today with January con tracts selling on to 12.l1c. compared with 126ic at the close last night and l275c yesterdays high record. Closing prices were or 8 points up from the lowest on covering, but the final tone was easy at a net decline of from 49 to 5T points for the day.
 The market opened at decline of 16 to % points under overnight selling orders, attracted by the more reactionary ruling of yesterdays market and in sympathy with weakness in Liverpool Selling was checked early, however. by apprehensions of damage from the gulf storm which was said to be reaching the coast in consid- erable force. and rallies followed which carried January contracts up from 12. 43c | to 12.6sc, and December up from 12.25c to 12.5lc. The demand then tapered of and prices worked off several points from the best under renewed realizing. but selling was again checked by the weekly report of the weather bureau, which said that little top crop was expected and there was a second bulge of several points dur
 
 to broaden on this improvement. which did not carry prices back to the early high level. however and the market later be- came sensationally weak under heavy general selling. There seemed to be no particular change in the general charac- ter of the news. but after the bullish ex- citement of the past month, there ap- peared to be a very general disposition to liquidate long contracts in advance of the governments crop report expected on Saturday. while the market acted as If buying power had been pretty we'll ex- hausted. At any rate. prices broke all | most as rapidly as they had recently ad- vanced. stop orders were uncovered and October contracts sold at 11.54c, December at ll..95c and March at 1233c in the late trading, or 53 to 50 points under last nights closing figures and in the case of January contracts. s3.20 per bale under yesterdays high record.

Lemon Should Always Be
 Served With Iced Tea
Care Needed to Prevent Getting Either Tea or Lemon Taste
 Too Strong

Lemon should always be served with iced tea. Care should be exercised. however. to get the proper blend be- tween the lemons and tea flavors. Neith- CT flavor should be allowed to kill the other. The proper summer tea drink is one with just a slice of lemon to cut the stringently bitter tea and make the beverage smooth and refreshing.
 In serving iced tea, much depcads upon the manner of service. Great cars should be exercised to present the guest this cooling drink in daintincss. Also plenty of ice should be in csch glass. a good idea being to let ice stand in each glass for several minutes before the tea is poured in. This puts beautiful and inviting frost on the outside of each tumbler
 The most beautiful set for serving cool drinks is the water set now beine distributed to readers by The Age Herald. It consists of three-pint pitch CT and six glasses. each of which holds kalf pint Each piece is decorated and initialed in Venetian gold. Readers may get as many extra sets of glasses as they wish. How to obtain this handsome set Is explained in. display announce lnents and in Water Set Coupon appear ing elsewhere In The Ase-Herald daily.
