TRAINS ARE ATTACKED
BODIES FOUND ON LINES
Police Patrols Established on Roofs
Charges Of Criminal conspir-
acy Against Leaders.

New York, Sept. 18.-Doubt was ex-
pressed last night that the threatened
strike today of crafts affiliated with
the car men who quit their places here
September 6 would occur. This view
was strengthened when Thomas w.
o'Connor, president of the interna-
tlonal Longshoremen's association, an
nounced that the members Of his union,
said to number $4,000, would not be
called out before Thursday, eff at
ALL"
Resolutions on which several New
York trade unions voted provide for
strikes involving about 10000 men.
These strikes are intended to tie up
the traction lines by cutting off their
power through shortage of fuel, walk
outs Of engineers and bringing about
strikes among all workmen engaged
in labor contributing to operation Of
the lines. If this does not have the
desired effect a general strike of AGO.
600 workmen-both men and women
in Greater New York is contemplate
cd. To meet this threat employers are
said TO be laying plans to bring charges
Of criminal conspiracy sympathetic
strikes.
Police patrols have been established
along the roofs of buildings on Ninth
avenue, but despite this trains were
bombarded with bricks and stones.
One woman was seriously injured.

A South Dakota Industry.

MadisoD.-Having secured it's repu-
tation as an unfailing provider of
staples in foodstuffs, Lake county
now Is reaching out for a niche from
which it may wave a hand in the mat
ter of determining prices connoisseurs
of rare dishes shall pay for their most
delectable edibles. Dozens at the Mil
waukee passenger station watched
with interest the transferring of a
crate of live frogs from a truck to an
express car. Those who inquired were
informed that the frogs would be taken
as rapidly as steam could carry them
to Chicago, there to encourage the dis
corning palates of men and women
whose menus are compiled without re-
gard to cost. The frogs were shipped
by Oscar Nobel, residing on the shores
OF Lake Madison, who, while he does
note devote his whole time to catching
and shipping frogs, has made a tidy
profit this summer through selling
them on the eastern market. For
morely Mr. Nobel shipped just the legs
or saddles" 1t is said that he re-
ceives 81 a pound for the legs, and
that at odd times in the course of a
week he can collect a sufficient number
of frogs to total many pounds OF
choice food.

OF Military Aos.

The number Of men of military age
In Amerea-including citizens and men
who have declared their intention of
becoming citisen1-is said to be not
far from y. 900, 600. This estimate Is
baSed on the assumption that there
has been an increase Of approximately
10 per cent in the population of the
country since 1910. When that census
was taken the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens eigh-
teen years Of age and over, but under
forty-six, was 19,1S3,OOO. OF this num-
Der 14,224,o00 were native whites, .
$4,000 were foreign-born citizens who
had become natmalized or had de-
clared their intention of doing SO, p
$4,000 were negroes, and $4,000 were
Indians. Men Of military age in Ten
nessee, at the last census numbered
434,641.

TO SEEK MISSING EXPLORERS
Russians Who Went to Arctic in
1912 May Yet Be
Living.

Apparently hope has not been aban-
doned entirely of ~rescuing the MEM
bers, or some of them, of the Russian
polar expeditions which sailed in 1912
in the steam schooner Saint Anna, I'M
der command of Lieutenant Brusilofr
of the Russian navy. and the motor
vessel Hercules, which was in charge
Of the g~eologist, N. Bonsanoff. Traces
may be discovered in the northern Arc
tic, In the vicinity OF Greenland, and
of the North American archipelago.
Through the consul general for Rus
STA appeals are made to all commercial
enterprises, ~navisstors, and scientific
expeditions cruising In the polar seas
and engaged in research work in these
regions, and also to the inhabitants
along the csastline, to devote efforts
to the discovery OF traces of the miss
ing explorers.

No Trace Of Robbers.

Howard.-The local authorities have
as yet been unable to locate the burg.
lars, believed to have been four in
number, who entered the Columbia
Clothing store in this city and escaped
with about 81 in cash and clothing
to the value of about $1,000. The rob-
berry is thought to have been commit
ted by expert store thieves, who during
the past few weeks have robbed. a
number of stores in different sections
of the eastern portion of South Da-
kota. Entrance was effected through
the front door by means of a skeleton
key. The stolen goods were loaded
into n or more automobiles. Among
the goods taken were 100 suits of the
best clothing in the store and a num-
Der of suit cases. The officers learned
that a heavily loaded automobile, con
tanning four men, passed through Ca
nova an hour or so after the robbery,
headed southwark.
