HOROSCOPE.
Thursday, May -, 1915.

Those who read the stars find the iniu.
ences today exceedingly sinister. since
Neptune, Mercury. Uranus. and Saturn
are all in evil aspect. The Sun alone
promises benefits to mankind
After midday the sway should be fair
ly encouraging for those who seek
new OCCUPATIONS or desire promotion. The
great and the powerful are believed to
be more kindly disposed than in ordinary
planetary conditions.
Under this confiSuration 1t is well to
take thought concerning precautions for
the protection of the public health. There
is an evil sign believed to presage cpl
denies and plaques that will greatly in
crease mortality.
Children are subject to a sway held as
malevolent. There will be much illness
among them and the poor will suffer
more than in previous years.
The planets indicate unfavorable con-
ditions for the old. Death will come to
many prominent men and an aged phi
lanthropist will succumb to a sudden
n;alady.
The rising position OF Neptune is in
terpreted to forewarn the public OF in
"reasins unrest among workers of all
classes. Loss of life in labor wars is
prognosticated and race antagonisms are
likely TO command serious attention
The Pacific Coast is subject to a sway
Of the stars which is supposed to pro-
duce the widest extremes in social and
commercial conditions. Great prosperity
in certain lines of business will be or
set by severe reverses. One of the
serious problems OF the times will be the
needy conditions Of persons of education
and station.
Holland is under government Of
the planets which is very threatening.
The Queen will lose prestige and severe
anxietics will affect her health. 1t Is
prophesfed that she will estrange the
sympathy of women.
Frauds wild speculation and unexpect-
cd fluctuations in securities of various.
kinds are predicted for the summer
months.
Persons whose birthdate II IL may have
many annoyances and business anxieties
in the coming year. Journeys and
changes have not fortunate guidance.
Children born on this day are likely to
be ambitious. restless. and visionary.
These subjects OF Geniini usually love
change and adventure. Girls should be
guarded against unlucky marriage.

Polr.-''The Divorce Question,

The Divorce Question" dealing with
the most serious domestic problem in
American life. will be the offering of the
Poll Players next week. This play, by
William Anthony Mcguire. was written
as an answer to the theories set forth
in Medill Patterson's Rebellion" Re
bellion' was not popular success, in
spite of the fact that Gertrude Elliott
(Mrs. Forbes Robertson) was cast in the
stellar role. On the other hand, THE
Divorce Question" achieved quite a sue
cess. owing to the fact that, although
it is a problem play. it tells an absorb
ingly interesting story.
The central figures in the play are
married couple and their two children.
The wife secures a divorce and her son
and daughter. deprived of paternal pro-
lection. go astray. In the final act of
the drama all the members of the family
are brought together in a dramatic scene.
An artistic production Of THE Divorce
Question is promised by the Poll man
agement next week.

The only means Of reducing the
bust is through the right kind Of ex-

water or ice You should not only ex-
ercise the busts themselves, but the

OTHER PLAN MUST
NOW BE EVOLVED
Only Short Time Available -
Fund at Present Totalt
S335,O00.
n, Telegraph to In, rrbun. J

Scranton. Penn, July 6.-Unless the
representatives of the Scranton banks
who are trying TO save the Interns-
tional Correspondence Schools from
over capitalization of many subsidiary
companies. and the consequent drain on
the earnings Of the text book company,
can evolve some other plan than the
one announced at the annual meeting
last week, their efforts will 90 for
naught. for the original plan is cell
shot to pieces" to use the words 81
prominent bank officials.
The plan which it was hoped would
go through was that ten banks in the
/ city would subscribe a fund OF $500, 900
TO be turned over TO the text book
company, the banks TO have the right
to select a majority of the incoming
board Of directors. TO control the fnan-
cial policy of the company and to take
over as security its real estate and
, the accounts receivable from scholar
ships.
1t is asserted that only FIVE banks
have assented, and the fund is still far
short.
This has tied up the entire proceed
ing and endangers its ultimate sue
cess, for the agreement entered into by
the banks was contingent on the entire
amount Of 100000 being raised. With
only 1885, 1000 subscribed to the fund, it
looks to the bankers as if a new plan
will have to be formulated within a
short time if the schools are 10 be
helped. This is freely admitted by
those interested.
On top of this situation come rumors
that one or two of the five banks which
have signed the agreement are about
TO withdraw. Color is given to these
rumors by the admission that Joseph j.
Jermyn. vice-president Of the Traders
National Bank. who was elected as one
of the six new directors on the text
book company board a week ago TO rep
resent those contributing to the fund,
refused 10 serve.
Worthington Scranton said to-day
that the banks were not rAllying to the
proposition TO loan the $1,000 and
explained the failure by stating that
three of the ten institutions had ad-
vanced a certain sum TO the schools
previous to the movement to raise the
5000, 900 10 enable the textbook COM
pany 70 meet its payrolls. and that they
declined to 20 into the big pool on
the ground that they had already done
their share.
Efforts were then made TO get some
Of the smaller banks interested. asd
while two or three took small sub
scriptions the majority also rejected
the scheme. Then the Scranton In
dustrial Development Company. an or
ganizstion controlled by the Board of
Trade, which is headed by men inter-
ested in raising the 100000 fund. came
to the rescue with a $4,000 contribu-
ton.
Fifty-two stock statesmen in the en-
ploy of the textbook company were
called in to-day and told their services
were no longer required.
Other employees failed TO get their
paw to-day. Two weeks ago they were
held up a week until three Of the city
banks advanced funds 10 meet the
payroll, and last week they were held
off for one or two days. according to
the department in which they worked.

HOPE TO TRAP
BOMB THROWER
Confined from page I

against the efforts Of the police 20
thwart the activities Of the anarchists.
II was pointed out that the threat to
blow up Police Headquarters was made
openly at some Of the meetings of the
anarchists following the arrest OF the
two young Italians OF the Bresci gr, -p
for the attempt to blow up st. Pat
rick's Cathedral.
Representatives of the anarchist
groups in the city yesterday disputed
the theory that one of their members
vas responsible for the deed. Leonard
d. Abbott, of the Ferrer school. shifted
the blame TO the white slavers,' against
whom the police have been particularly
active recently.
Frank Tannenbaum, the l. W. w.
leader, accused the police Of framing
up" the anarchists in the Cathedral
bomb incident, and asked:
"lf the police can plant bombs, why
can't the reds?"
Inspector Faurot was not inclined 70
think il had been the work of any par
ticular group, but rather Of an indie
pendent individual. He admitted last
night that the police had no clew so
far as to the identity Of the man who
placed the DOmD on lhe Nehtie pNltoN
side OF the building. Several detee-
tives Of the so-cslled bomb squad I'M
der acting Captain Tunney were work
ing on the case yesterday.
There was nothing found in the wake
Of the explosion which might be a
guide for the identification OF the per-
petrator. but there was plenty of lead
and iron slungs in the woodwork and
walls in the basement near the door
where the bomb was placed. II was a
veritable shrapnel shell and one OF the
most destructive bombs which have
ever come TO the attention OF the De
partment Of Combustibles. Some Of
the iron slugs went through two heavy
wooden doors, twenty feet apart in the
basement entrance, and were found
deeply embedded in the woodwork and
plaster of the walls OF the corridor
forty feet away.
A small scrap Of leather, such as
might have been part Of a cheap hand
bag. was found embedded in the thick
wired glass Of one of the basement
corridor doors This led the police TO
believe that the Anarchist" car
ried his internal machine 10 a
small satehel. which would not attract
attention in the street The theory is
