Belgian Food Lost

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Reports that
part of the cargo of the British
steamer, Durward, which was torpedo
ed and sunk by a German submarine,
was food consigned to the starving
Belgians, have been confirmed by
members of the American Belgian Re-
lief commission. The food which was
shipped by private donors had been
sent to Belgium from Rotterdam. 1t
constituted only part of the cargo. 1t
was fully insured. The commission
officials explained that the commits
sion had shipped supplies only on
chartered vessels which fly the COM
mission flag. The German govern
ment guaranteed not to interfere with
such ships. -.

BOISE, Jan. 23.-With the house
adjourned since Friday until Monday
and the senate in session but re"
moments this morning, adjournment
having been quickly taken until Mon
day morning, interest centers arou
Mondays program which includes, II
is understood, the stand the aBnnock
delegation is taking, Bannock is now
aligned with the Cassia delegation.
Both were in caucus last night, and at
a later hour both decided in favor Oh
the retention of the Albion Normal
and the making of technical college
out of the academy at Pocatello, the
exact letter of which agreement VIII
assume shape when the measure
reaches the senate, which will proDa-
bly, be Monday morning, to carry out
the program. The proposed measure
nroyides in substance the changing OF
the name of the academy into the lda-
ho Technical Institute, whose func-
ton shall be to conduct courses IN
applied sciences and practical arts
and sciences, pure science, hoeral
arts. and such social sciences as are
necessarily taught in connection Win
the whole or any part of the courses
specified in the preceding section
The bill also provides for the be-
slowing of suitable titles upon the
pupils when they graduate. None or
the courses of instruction shall en-
brace any subject below the grade OF
those included in the last two years Oh
q standard high school course OF
study; and the last two years OF the
courses shall embrace no subject be-
low those taught in the first Two

contained shall be SO construed as 10
prohibit the maintenance OF classes
for the benefit of students who, by
reason of coming from localities nav
ing limited educational advantages
are Obliged to do certain preparatory
work.
Indications point to strong oppos-
ition to this program; and it is pc
lieved that the senate will not permit
the establishment of the Junior college
system. Senator Day and the Latah
delegation have the strong support OF
the northern members besides many
of the south and the southeast.

Raid Unnerves London

LONDON, Jan 23-The second Yep
pelin scare early in the week left Lon
don unnerved, although the govern
ment officials denied the rumors that
the German dirisitles have been seen
again on the east coast of England,
lowering over Norfolk. This assurance
from the government did not succeed
in allaying the fears of timid hearts
There are constant reports that the
enemy's airmen have been bombarding
Dunkirk and other French towns; and
this has increased the general nervous
ness. 1t is declared that the ayiators
dropped a hundred bombs in DUnkirk,
killing seven, and injuring a score. The
Paris dispatches state that the Dun

Bridges Shelled

PARIS, Jan. 23-The French artil-
lery shelled the wrecked portions Of
the bridges across the Meuse river at
ST. Mihiel. The Germans who are oc-
cupying the west bank of the stream
have been subjected to a violent can
nonading, and the French are prepar-
ing to resume the offensive strongly in
that region. These declarations are
made in an official war-office an
nouncement- The statement admits
that the French were forced to evac-
uate the trenches in the ST. Mihiel
region but declares that they retired
less than 200 yards. The position of
the guns in the French field have not
been materially shifted, it is declared,
and the bombardment is more effective
than ever.

issued instructions that the elections shall be carried out according to law, but the manner in which his instruc- tions had been at nought, and the at tempt to fake the voting as evidenced in the Peking elections, show how lit tie those who are engineering the elections for their own ends are will ing to obey his instructions. This matter should be brought at once to his notice, and those responsible TOT not carrying out his order should De severely punished. Unless the gov ernment wishes the world to believe that the elections all over the country are a fraud and shame and that the people have been robbed of their 1n- dependence of voting, the recent Pekin elections must be cancelled. Foreigners have been led to believe that referendum of those qualified to vote on the question of the form of state would be taken. They have believed the bona fides of President Yuan Shi-kai, and the statements he has made on the matter. If, however, t1ois election is allowed to stand and it is shown that he is willing to allow such shameful breaches of the cleo tion regulations to pass by without censure, then the confidence which has been reposed in him will be con- siderably shaken, and it will be be- lieved that he is the party to these discreditable practices.'

TRAVEL IN EUROPE
 IS> VERY DIFFICULT
Americans Have Hard Times
 Experiences Of Rummels

(Correspondence of The Associated Press,
 Paris, Nov. 5.-Dificulties for Americans travelling on the Continent are increasing. Walter Morse Rum- mel, the American composer and plan ist who has been living for many years in Paris and his wife, formerly Therese Chaigneau, a French pianist, were arrested at Dieppe recently, sus- pected of being spies.
 They were returning home from London where professional engage ments called them. They had sub- mitted their papers to the French Consulate General in London and had received a safe-conduct to Paris. They had an American passport and a personal letter from MT. Thackara, the Consul General. They were searched after their arrest at Dieppe. Although nothing suspicious was found they were detained in a hotel overnight. The next morning Rum mel was taken by grenades through the streets, followed by children call ing out that he was a German. Both he and his wife were locked up in prison until the next morning. Rum
 
 sons accused of theft.
 MT. and Mrs. Rummel were trans ferred by train to Rouen, imprisoned there in cells, the floors of which were covered with filth and the walls with obscene drawings. They were there six hours before being able to buy a piece of stale bread and a piece of cheese. RummeIs fellow prisoner was an Apache who conhded to nln1 that he had just stabbed a woman. Rummel had at every stage of his ex- perience explained who he was and demanded that the authorities should inquire at the American Embassy in Paris before being interned. He and his wife were released therefore after forty eight hours detention altogeth- CT, upon representations of the: Amer ican Consul in Rouen.
 MT. Rummeps father and grandfa- ther were British. His mother was the daughter of $. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph; Rummel happened to live beDn born in Ber- lin during a+ period whsn his father was there on business. He was reg istered as British born at the British Consulate His parents went to America when he was three years old. After the death of his father his mother resumed American citizenship. Young Rummel was entitled to take his mothers nationality and did so. The circumstance that he was born in Berlin appears to have drawn up- on him the suspicion that he was Ger man.
 The American Embassy has gone fully into the affair and has made representations to the Foreign Office upon the indignities MT. and Mrs. Rummel suffered. They have spent most of their time since the war be- gan in hospital and other charitable work in France. particularly in or ganizing funds for musicians

PULl,..AR
 & NIVEN
s. FIREMEN NOT AT FAULT.
Had Never Received Instructions to
 Take Pulmotor From Station.

Some criticism of the members of the fire department at the Central sta- tion, blaming them for not taking the pulmotor with them in response to fire alarms, is absolutely unjust and with out foundation. Never since the pull motor was purchased by the safety board year or more ago, had the fire men received orders to take it with them. Had they received such orders they would have taken it with them on Friday night when a smoke victim almost forfeited his life because there was no means at hand of reviving him. AYfireman's duty is to obey orders and this the men do Without orders to take the pulmotor, they were blamH- less.
 Since the near fatality of last week Chairman E. B. filling of the safety board has investigated the case and has now issued an order whereby the pulmotor is to be part of the equip Inent of the city service truck and will, therefore, be taken to every fire.

TO ORGANIZE STENOGRAPHERS

New York, Nov. 29.-The League for Business Opportunities for Women began today a movement to organize the stenographers here, estimated at 10000, to obtain a minimum wage of $S a week. It is proposed also to in- vestigate schools of stenography which, it is asserted, are graduating incompetent workers. Many of the most successful business women in the city are members of the league. They will issue thousands of circulars and posters urging the stenographers to organize.

SHARP ADVANCES
IN STEEL SHARES
Local Market Broadened Under
Stimulus of Peace Talk.
Public Interest Increasing.

Overshadowing all else on the Philadel-
phia Stock Exchange today was the
heavy trading and rapid advance IN
United states steel following the example
set by Wall street. During the hrst hour
alone more than 1900 shares changed
hands, whereas the dealings in all the
other stocks combined during that period
only reached a total OF about 300. As
the DAY advanced. however, the whole
market broadened cat materially. Oddly
enough Steel reached 52M in Philadelphia
before 1t touched SO In New York
five-point jump occurred In Baldwin Com
mon, while the Anthracite shares also
moved UP Total sales of United States
Steel today amounted to approximately
1900, and the entire days total transac-
tions were the heaviest since the close
OF the exchange in July
The general tone was distinctly strong

were said to be inspired sources In wash

tended yesterdays gain and Gambia Steel
also rose sharply in sympathy with the
jump in United states Steel. Rapid Tran
sit moved UP to Il. About the only weak
feature was Lake Superior, which made
new low record at g. The~local bona
market was quite lively for time. In
terstate Is opened at 80 and moved up In
successive sales to 59&. Philadelphia Com

good demand for the Philadelphia Electric

The Improvement in Rapid Transit was
accompanied by n report that the gross
earnings for March would show an IN
crease of about $4,000. United Railway
Investment IS rose a point, and Phila-

Brokers continued to report an encour-
aging increase in the public's interest in

is only natural in view of the speculative
opportunities which have presented
themselves of late, A wide advance, such
as has been enjoyed by Bethlehem Steel.
attracts attention, and is apt to develop
activity in other issues. On the whole,
brokers say comparatively few people
have made much money out of the stock
market throughout its steady advance
since it reopened for business Gossip
has it, for instance, that no less than
three different pools operated successfully
in Bethlehem.
The original pool is said to have sold
out long ago and some of its members are
reported to have gone short of the stock.
A now pool was formed and advanced the
price still higher at the expense of the
first operators. This second crowd. as
the story goes, closed out from 30 to
par, and the last rise was begun by
still another group. Whether the story
is true or not, 1t Is generally acknowl
edged that the public at large scarcely
participated at all in the advancing
markets until the last few weeks, when
brokerage houses began TO fill up and
the volume of daily transactions on
change began to assume something like
their old-time proportions.
