JONES TELLS STRIKERS

New York, Oct. Five hundred

street car men, rushing out of an up
town hall, where they had listened to
an address by Mother" Jones, the
labor orator, denouncing the strike
breakers and the traction heads, be-
gan to riot late Thursday and at
tackled trolley car.
They hurled stones, shattering win
dows and drove the motorman and
conductor from their posts. A battle
with the few policemen on hand en-
sued. The officers used their clubs
freely. Many women were struck and
number were arrested, together with
several men. A call for reserves was
sent in.
Mother" Jones in her speech to
the women, declared that heirs would
be the blame if the strike was lott.
You are too sentimental, she cried,
staying at home and thinking of
dress and trinkets when you ought
to be out raising hell"

they go whirling across the floor in

One couple recently danced the

enthusiasm at very prominent ter
psichorean club a few nights ago that
the young lady's left shoulder was
positively dislocated.

WITH REGARD TO GERMAN SUB
MARINE OERATIONS AWAITS
DECISION OF WILSON
OFFICIALS ARE CONVINCED
THERE HAS BEEN NO VIOLATION
INTERNATIONAL LAW IN
NANTUCKET ATTACK

Washington, Oct. $50 much de-
pends upon President Wilson's decis.
ion regarding the German submarine
operations in the western Atlantic
and there ere so many possibilities OF
complication of the U-boat campaign
proceeds, that officials here decline to
make almost any statement of what
the American governments attitude
will be.
Although state department officials
are convinced there has been no vio-
lation of international law in the at
tack off Nantucket, they realize that
prolongation of operations in waters
adjacent to the L. S. might create sit
uations out of which serious diplomat
ic issues might arise.
1t is understood here that it is to
discuss this feature that Secretary
Lansing is going to Shadow Lawn to-
morrow. The secretary declined to-
night to make any statement regard
ing his trip or to discuss the U-boat
campaign.

ports of the United States is disclos-
ed in statistics issued today by the
department OF commerce. Total eX-
ports to the various. countries for the
first eight months of the calendar
year were in many cases millions of

TARIFF CHANGES ARE NOT
LEGAL IN THE STATE

Nashville, Oct. 6.-The Tennessee
railroad commission has returned to
the N. C. & st. L. railway supple
ments to tariffs filed by the road on
October with the statement that
these supplemental changes in the
tariff are not legal. The commission
states that the only legal rates in the
state are the rates contained in tar
ifs filed under the regulations pre-
scribed by the commission.
Some time ago the commission was
forced to call attention of railroads
to the fact that tariffs must be first
filed with the commission before they
can be enforced in the state.
Under the order of today the new
tariffs advancing rates on sand and
gravel, ON live poultry en- route and
wodo and coal are not legal rates.

New York, Oct. G.--The New Yorh
Evening Post today publishes a story
saying that it has been learned from
a trustworthy source that James w
Gerard, now on his way back from
Germany will lay before President
Wilson request that the president
use his good offices in suing for peace
with the allies.
Germany has definitely decided to
apply to President wilson, the ar
ticle reads, Ito use his good offices
in suing for peace with the allies.
This was learned today from sources
in a position to have absolutely trust
worthy information on these matters.
1T is understood that Ambassador
James w. Gerard, who is on his way
over here, will lay the kaiser's re-
quest before President Wilson within
a week. 1t is fact, however posi-
lively it may have been denied Off
cially, that the possibility of Presi-
dent Wilson acting as mediator has
been discussed by German officials
with Ambassador Gerard. 1t is there
fore by no means surprising that the
reports now take definite shape in
connection with Mr.. Gerard's trip to
this country"

WASTE TANBARK NOW
USED TO MAKE ROOFING
Method Developed at the Forests Pro-
duets Laboratory Is Now Being
Used Commercially

Washington, Oct. 11.--A method fol
using waste hemlock tanbark to par.
TALLY replace expensive rag stock il
the manufacture Of felt roofing has
been developed at the Forest Products
Laboratory and is now being used
commercially by cooperating mills
according to an announcement made
by the Forest Service. 1t is stated
that, in thes mills, from 20 to 80 per
cent of the rags is being replaced By
waste bark and that the quality of the
| finished product is equal to that mar
ufaetured solely from rags. Members
OF the Forest Service who have been
conducting the experiments say thar
! the utilization of the bark will maze
it possible to effect considerable
saving in the manufacture of felt
roofing.
According to the census of 1909, oy
er 69S, goo tons of hemlock bark were
produced each year in tn eUnited
States. After the tanning is extract
ed this bark is used for fuel purposes,
for which it is said to have value Of
so cents per ton.
The extent Of the savings rendered
possible by the new methods is point
ed out by the fact that the roofing
mills of the United States have to-
tai estimated annual production of
$4,000 tons of finished roofing of all
kinds, equal to about 1890, ,10GO
Squares" BY square of roofing
is meant 100 square feet. The utiliza
ton of the waste bark in this indus
try should, it is said, enable the mills
to reduce their manufacturing costs
appreciably.
In addition to the use of the bark
for roofing. papers made at the For
est Products Laboratory on tho basis
Of 80 per cent of waste hemlocil, have

ing machine, and give promise of be-
ing entirely satisfactory. O,Eer paper
of the same make up has been made
into fiber conduits by commercial
manufacturer.
Other possible uses Of waste bark
which suggest themselves. says the
Forest Service paper experts, are the
use of bark mixed with ground wood
for the production OF wall board. or
with sulphite screenings in the manu-
facture of car liners. Stadics already
made at the Forest Products La5ora-
tory Indicate that il may be possible
