PUCK REWRITES
HISTORY Of
AMERICA
Text Books Of the Coutry Are
Upset by tine Famous
SatiriCaI Weekly.

Puck. the famous humorous week
", is going TO revise the history OF
the country according to tho modern
theory of telling The naked truth
about historical events.
The first OF its Historical Numbers
appears on the uewsstauds this week
and II we may accept the initial
article as an indication OF what is to
come. our satirlcal contemporary aims
to upset some cherished traditions of
the little red schoolhouse.
Tradition has clouded history since
the beginning OF time explains
Puck's historian. There is abundant
testimony extant that Joan OF Arc
was burned by proxy only. and IA \
matter OF fact lived long enough to
settle down and marry the man of
her choice.
Beatrice, the flame OF Dantc's pas
sion. was giddy young debutante OF
nine summers at the time OF her
death; and facts indicate that II Sir
Walter Raleigh ever laid a cloak over
q mud puddle 10 protect Queen Eliz-
abeth's feet, It was the garment OF an
unfortunate retainer and not HIS own
richly brocaded Inverness.
Tradition has painted the Bastlle as
a prison OF horrors. crowded with un-
happy victims OF the royal displeas-
ure. Facts indicate that it never con
tanned more than sixteen or seventeen
prisoners at any one time and that
these reveled in any luxury they
craved
Puck has uncovered many tradi-
tions of our own history as widely at
variance with the facts as the Incl
dents quoted.
In the first place. says Puck. Queen
Isabella never pawned her jewels to
start Columbus on his voyage of dis
covery, for the very simple reason
that Isabella's jewels had been nut to
the slaughter many months before
Columbus appeared at the Spanish
court and asked for help.
Nor did the doughty adventurers
on the Mayhower first set foot on
Plymouth Rock, unless they used a
hydroaeroplane, for the waters
around Plymouth Rock would hardly
float n cream SKINNER.
Peter Stuyyesant. we learn, enjoyed
the full use of two perfectly good
legs. and the wooden stump handed
down to posterity seems to have been
a tigment OF the Imagination.
These are few of the episodes to
be pictorially treated in Puck's series.
Other startling and amusing revela-
tions are promised.

TANNERY MEN
At REDWOOD
ON A STRIKE
Other Labor Difficulties Arouse
Business Men of NichoIaS'S
Metropolis.
rErEelAL 70 ma TELGaRAul

REDWOOD. Sept. 1.-TWO hun
dred and fifty employees OF the tan
merry and extract plant here are on
strike. No violence has been at
tempted by the men. who have made
certain demands upon the company.
The company refuses to recognize
the union.
About fifty strike breakers were
brought in from Pittsburg one day
this week. but when they arrived and
found that strike WINS on, and that
they were to take the places OF the
strikers. they refused to go to work.
saying that the labor agents at Pitts
burg had misrepresented the situa-
ton to them. They were cared for
while here and transportation pro-
vided back home by the local union
On Tuesday an effort was made TO
organize the employees of the Dodge
clothespin factory into a union, anil
quite number OF the employees had
enrolled. hut when the amterr came
to the attention OF the management.
the factory was closed down and the
employees notified that it would be
down until next Monday, when It
would start up for business again,
provided they wanted to return to
work. as formerly, but that they
would not recognize any labor or
ganization. No one was aware that
any demands whatever had been
made by the employees Of that plant,
a sthere seemed to be good under
standing and best Of feeling between
Mr. Dodge, the general manager, and
the employees. and the trouble came
as a complete surprise.
Our information Is that the COM
panies involved are all willing for
the men to go back to work as indi-
viduals, even though they are mem
hers Of the union, but maintain that
they cannot and will aot recognize
the union.
1t has always been the boast Of
Redwood that it is tho most pro
gressIve industrial city In the land
and that there has always been COM
plete harmony between the various
corporations and their employees, con-
seIuently this disruption is very
greatly regretted. 1t has a tendency
to injure business, and may result
disastrously for the town. should the
matter not be amicably adjusted.
An effort Is being made by the
business people of the town to bring
aabout settlement between the
men and the companies, and II is to
be hoped that in few days. at least.
the men will be back at work and
things resume the even tenor OF their
way.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
CONCERTED SELLING
Greater Confidence Shown in Wednes-
 days Operations.

New York. July 12.-COncerted sell ing of special stocks, particularly those issues which suffered most se- veTely in last weeks liquidating movement, was the conspicuous fen ture of tOday's professional market. The short interest, embOldened by it's recent success, conducted it's opera tions with greater confidence, but made little headway, except in isO- lated instances.
 Representatives shares, notably the better known rails and U. $. Steel again withstood pressure, albeit Steel was forced down to S3 7-8, it's lowest quotation since last weeks rise to 87 14. Shipping stocks and Mexi- cans, together with motors and the coppers, also fell away in the fore noon, but made gradual recovery in part or whole later.
 U. $. Industrial Alcohol proved to be the storm center, recording an eX- treme decline of 12 3-S points to 99 l2 in the last hour and closing with a net loss of 10 7-8 points. There was again @ lack of news to explain the continuous break in Alcohol, which represented a loss of over thirty points in a weeks time and a total of 70 points from it's top price of last April
 Increase in the Willys- Overland div idend from to 12 per cent. with an 70 was not announced until the flag end of the session. The stock closed at a loss of 2 1-4 points, the action of the directors having evidently been dis counted.
 Pactfcs were the only rails to ex- hibit marked strength, Canadian Pa cifiC being in demand with it's sub- sidiaries, "SoO" and Wisconsin Gen. tral. Union Pacific was firm on re- Vival of the familiar rumor of an in creased dividend at the next quarter ly meeting. Total sales amounted to 568, OOG shares, of which very large proportion was supplied by Alcohol, Mercantile Marine preferred, U. $. Steel, Reading and American Beet Su- gar.
 The prosperous condition of the in- dependent steel manufa cturers was seen in the second quarterly state ment of the Lackawanna Steel Com pany, showing a net gain of almost S2,900,000 over the same quarter of 1915.
 Bonds were again inclined to ease with furather extensive offerings of Anglo French 5's. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,320,O0o.
 United States bonds were unchang- ed on call.

STAILINGS MAY HAVE
 ANOTHER WALLY SCHANG

Tn. addition to the players he has under promulgated contracts, Man ager. George T. StalIings, of the Bos- ton Braves is carrying around the circuit all this season a Brookline scaoolfboy, who, Manager SbaIlings confidently asserts, is going to make another Jimmy Archer or another WaIly SChang. The Miracle Man has frequently asserted, when asked how he happened to be paying board bills and transportation charges upon h player not eligible to participate in a game, that Rico right now looks bet ter to him than did Schang when he picked up the present Athletics back stop in Buffalo. Rico site upon the Boston bench next to his boss day in and day out, and is constantly ab- sorbing from observation a lot of knowledge that should be of infinite value to the youngster when he makes his debut behind the bat If Rico comes through as Manager StalIings expects he will be one of the catching sensations of next sea son.
 Rico's home in fashionable Brook line is only a short distance from the Braves field, and last summer he was accustomed, just to keep in con ditiOn, to work out with the Boston club when the Braves were at home He made so favorable an impression upon the chief, although going into baseball was farthest from RicO's mind, that Manager Stallings during last winter had Business Manager Hapgood look up the yOungster, whose name even Manager StalIings did not know. The camp proved to did not know. The chap proved to be Arthur Rico, the star alI-around athlete of Huntington school of BOs- ton. There he had exceIed not only in baseball but in football and in track as we'll and he now holds the Boston schoolboy record for putting the 1G-pound shot Rico is also 19 years of age, is of impressive build, and Manager Stallings believes he is destined to have his name enrolled upon the scrooI of the worlds great catCherS.
