Cheyenne. Wyo.. Aug e5-Charles f.
Hughes today spread the gospel of a pro-
teCtive tariff across the State of Wy
oming
Efficient campaign management might
have whooped things up a little more.
but though National Chairman Wilcox
cassed the state as doubtful, II Is gen.
orally conceded that on national issues
Wyoming will go Republican, probably
by about 800 plurality.
The G. o. p. stands a good chance Of
losing United States Sentor here, how
ever, for the Democratic governor, John
B. KendriCk, is in the saddle against G.
d. Clark, the twenty-year associate of
Senator Warren, and there Is every indi-
cation that KendriCk will win out
There are some enthusiasts who predict
that Kendrick may carry Wilson along
with him to victory But Wyoming is a
great sheep country and is demanding a
restoration of the high tariff on wool.
Moreover. the old Progressive element Is
pretty solidly lined up for Hughes.
As a matter of fact the lack of en-
thusasm in this State, at least, is one
OF the guarantees that Wyoming has
made up its mind. People on the street
talk as though It was all over.

(By the international News ScryiceD
New York, Aug. The story that
the German submarine Bremen has been
captured by the British. reported by pas
sengers arriving today on the Baltic, is
generally accepted as true in German
official circles here.
While men close to the German En-
bassy deny any official news of the cap
ture has been received they say the
Bremen is many weeks overdue and
they believe she has either been cap
ture or sunk
The submersible. which is expected at
New London and day, is the Amerika,
they admitted
A British officer here stated that the
Bremen was caught in a steel net in
the Straits of Dover on August >. He
declined to permit the use of his name
but Capt. Finch. commander of the
Baltic. admitted that he too, had heard
the news in Liverpool.
According to the officers story the
Baltic, admitted that he. too. had heard

propeller became entangled in a steel
net and her stern sank forcing her bow
above the surface.
In that position she was sighted by
a British patrol boat which ran alongside
and took off the thirty-three men of the
crew who were still alive. Two were dead.
After vainly trying to extricate the
wreck from the net, the patrol boat
steamed for Dover with her prisoners
The reason the British government has
remained silent about the Bremen's cap
ture. the officer added, Is that it hopes
to capture the Amerika. 1t is believed
the Amerika has proceeded to the north

Vice in Business.

tBy che International News Seryice.b }
New York. A,g. 25.-District Attorney
Swami is investigating an amazing new
phase of white slavery in which are
named merchants of prominence who
may have to answer indictments for
felony.
Swann's information is that there is a
practice in vogue among certain mer-
chants Of using a staff" of girls to pro-
mote business with out-Of-tOwn buyers
Merchants who employ these methods
have one or two women regularly on their
payroll They are subject to call at any
time and are projected into business
dealings to close contracts
These women at an Opportune moment
are introduced to the Out-of- town buyer
The women know all the places in the
city which afford amusement. Dinners
at the best hotels. theaters and other
resorts to the accompaniment of wine
and sonS are a part of the program en-
gineered by these shrewed female aides
The Out-of-tOwn buyer passes through
the whirl of Joy without cost. The mer-
chants who employ these women paw all
the bills, reimbursinS the out-of-town
buyer for all expenses. This act of good
fellowship, Swami is informed. has put
the finishing stroke on many important
business deals to be the advantage Of
the sellers.
Swami is investigating a case of this
character. The complaint was made by
wealthy importer. The merchant al
leges that a man doing business in New
York, whose name Is known to Swami
lured his wife from her home three weeks
ago. The man personally took the mer-
chants wife to New York and, despite
a search made by her husband no trace
of the woman has been found.
