United States, for fifteen articles OF

GOLD FLOWING IN STEADY
STREAM

New York, Oct. &c. - Bankers here
expect that the British treasury will
continue to export gold to this coun-
try as fast as the government mints
can handle it. Since Monday of last
week gold valued at $26.00O,000 has
entered the local assay office. Since
May 10 the total value of British gold
sent to the United States has reached
$3.50, 100000. The assay office. it is
understood, stands ready to receive
SIS, 1000, 900 a week for an indefinite
period. The British government, ac-
cording to bankers, wishes to pay cash
for goods bought here, and while the
proceeds of the various loans have
gone further to meet this requirement
than the actual gold, still the British
officials want to supplement the loans
constantly with more and more gold.

the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the

prices of fifteen of the principal ar
ticles of food in June of each year,
1912 to 1916, inclusive. To form a
basis for the table the price for June,
1912, is placed at 100, and the price
for each succeeding year is figured ac-
cordingly by the bureau statisticians.
A careful calculation of this table
shows that with 100 as basis for
1912 the 1916 percentage Is ia, or an
increase of fourteen per cent. in the
cost of the combined foodstuffs since
the declaration of the Democratic plat
form. Following is the government

A Dreadful

The outstanding fact to-day is that the
nation is face to face with the danger of
serious coal shortage.
The alarm hit the country in all parts about four
weeks ago. 1t then had the first touch of

Househoders in many cities went to their retail
to get COAL and much to their surprise were in
formed that the entire order could not be filled
Before the newspapers had hardly said a word
about it. gossip had carried the news to every part
of the country.
This unprecedented situation is due to three
causes; scarcity of labor, shortage, and indf-
ference OF consumers in purchasing coal in sum-
mer months
Btunlinous coal prices at the mines have advanc-
ed 10 per cent. We predict a rise in Anthracite

 Are Attacked
 By President
In Address at Salisbury, President Tells Auditors That Men in C.. O. P. In sist on Hooking Back wards.'''
Says They Try To Block His Efforts To Recognize the Looking Forward" Men Within That Party.

Charlotte, N. C., May 2o.-President Wilson today addressed a crowd esti- mated at more than 100000, fgathered here for the Hist anniversary of the signing of the Meclenburg Declaration of Independence. He was introduced by Governor Craig of North Carolina, who spoke of the President as one of the greatest leaders the nation has ever seen.
 President Wilson, addressing a large crowd at the railroad station at Sails bury 1today, attacked leaders of the Republican party as men who are
 Hooking backward Members of the ferrtng to the fight led by Senator Gall finger, defeating the nomination of George Rub1ee to the federal trade commission.
 There are other serious things to be done nowadays, ladies and gentle men,, said the President. And it is a satisfaction to be associated with men who know how serious they are and with what spirit they must be approached, because, whether we will or not, we are at the beginning of a, new age for the, world and America will have to play very great part in that new age. And we will have to be very wise not to encourage or give countenance to the men who are trying to hold us back.
 There are some men, do not be- lieve they represent the great rank and file of the Republican party, but the men who now control the Repub- Iican party are looking backward, not forward. They do not know the prob lem of the new day and wherever I, for example, try to show my sympa- thieS for the forward-looking men of their own party by nominating men of that sort they at once try to block the progress. They have no sym pathy with the forwardlooking men of their own party. Now I am for forward-looking, not for backward looking men. We have come down to celebrate an historical episode but we have not done it because we are looking backward; we have done it merely in order to give ourselves the excuse to get together and feel the thrill of being Americans and living ing Americans"
 The President was on his way to Charlotte.

DEMENTED MAN
 GIVES BATTLET
 FIVE POLICEMEN
Chernock Guards Locked Door With Carving Knife,
 But Is Overcome.

John Chernock, a demented man, who had stripped himself of clothing and prepared for battle with the police in locked rooms at PAP Hallett street last night after driving his family from the house with a butcher knife was overcome by a surgeon and five policemen last night after a furious battle. He is securely strapped at the old Hillside home today where he is improving.
 The second precinct police station was informed shortly after 10 o'clock last night that Chernock, 25 years of age, had driven his wife and little girl from the house and that, fully armed, :, he was awaiting the police.
 Emergency Surgeon Weldon was notified and Policemen William H. G1ennon, William Halpin, John Demp- sey, Timothy Shay, and John McGin- ness were detailed to assist him.
 Arriving at the home they found Chernock locked behind doors on the third floor. Dempsey attempted to enter through a rear window and was partly in the room when Chernock rushed him with a carving knife, the blow passing close to the leg of the policeman whom pulled himself back wards through the window, An at tempt to force a kitchen door result ed in a knife jab through the panels.
 A council of the attacking party decided to barley with him through the window while a skeleton key was used to open the kitchen door. While the barley held by Surgeon Weldon was having the result of inducing Chernock to put on some clothing the key failed to work by reason of pre- vious force used by the police.
 Finally with Weldon and Dempsey entering the window in, attack, Hal pin and his associates broke down the rear door and CMernoek suddenly found himself attacked on both sides. In a moment of indetermination as to which officer he would stab with the knife, his upraised arm was pinioned by Halpin and nightstick sent the knife at some distance to the de- mented man. Chernock became as meek as a lamb and accompanied the police without further resistance.

MAKES 3 STORY JUMP TO EVADE
 TWO POLICEMEN John Brunette, Adams Elk press Employe, Risks Life
 To Escape.
 POLICE BREAK DOOR, BUT HE ELUDES THEM Fugitive Accused By Firm of Stealing Mrs. Roquette
 In House.

Escaping from capture by the police John Brunette, a Canadian, accused of having been implicated in thefts from the Adams Express Co.,, jumped three stories from the lodging house of Mrs. Mary McGrath at 95 Elm street this morning. Though stunned he managed to make his escape in the many aHeyways/ in the vicinity before the police could descend to the ground and take him.
 The case presents some mystery to the authorities for at the time of the attepmted capture of Brunette, Mrs. Marie RoQuette, heretofore known to the police in connection with the Ralph Borino white slave charges that resulted in his becoming a fugitive from justice, was found to have been in the house unknown to the police or the lodging house keeper who fin the confusion inquired of the police who she was. Mrs. Roquette, who declared that she was not in the room with Brunette, said that she was merely the excitement that prevailed at the time. She was not held.
 According to State Policeman Frank Virelli, who was being assisted in the chase by Policeman William Wolff, assi igned to the Elm street beat, the pair went to the McGrath home at 6 o'clock this morning.
 The Adams Express company had reported the theft of several articles among which was a Va1ise traced to the possession of Burnette, who came to work here about three weeks ago, taking lodgings with Mrs. McGrath.
 When the police knocked at the door it was opened by the lodging house keeper. The police asked if Brunette were there. They were told that he was in his room three stories above the ground. Mrs. McGfath was asked to post herself at the rear door. and prevent egress.
 The officers went upstairs and knocked at Rurnette's door. They forced an entrance only to find later that he had locked himself in the rear bathroom. As they attempted to force that entrance Brunette balanc- ed himself on the ledge and dropped.
 When the policemen gained the room Brunette was seen lying on the ground below, recovering from the shock of his fall. They hurried down stairs, but when they reached the spot Brunette had disappeared. It was at this point that Mrs. Roquette was discovered in the lower hallway of then ouse. A street sweeper is said to have reported that the fugi- tive escaped between the wall of the McGahey blacksmith shop and the First Methodist church property.
