These questions are asked this morn

its answer in dispatch from IT'S
Washington correspondents. who cX-

Mr. Heineman?" asked Atty Harry
Smoot
"Get the hell out of here"
Miss Grady testified she and Miss
Stoetzel had called Heineman's atten-
ton to Sec. IA of the factory inspec-
ton act. 1t says employers shall let
inspectors look in on any conditions
anywhere in factory and interior
ence is punishable by fine of from SIS
to 500.
Heineman himself took the stand.
He said he had acted as a gentleman
and used the best manners he knew
how toward the ladies. Fhe two wo-
men inspectors had questioned girl
workers, he stated, and Miss Grady
once remarked: "This place is
sweatbox and 1 wouldn't work in it
for $50 a week"
Miss Angelina Roemer, treasurer of
Heinefnan Co., testified her boss al
ways had behaved himself like gent
and never got in the way of inspect
ors. Two other girls were put on as
witnesses and they swore their boss
is a perfect gent. Judge Hill said:
''The court is compelled to recog-
nize that witnesses for the defense
are employees of the Heineman Co.
and this fact must be considered in
weighing their testimony. A large
company, such as the Heineman Co.,
no matter what its officers think
about the factory laws, should OBJ
serve not the letter but the spirit of
the law. There should be no such in
reference as has been shown with
factory law administration. l shall
assess a fine of $25 and costs against
the defendant"
Factory Inspector Nelson said to-
day two more actions will be brought
against Heineman. Nelson said:

instead of the 1000 cubic feet of air

WAR REVIEW
FOR THE DAY

Violent fighting was today reported
on every front except the Italian.
The long sustained offensive of the
Servians in Macedonia is apparently
on the threshold of bringing them i'm.
portant results. The Servians that
captured Brod have advanced along
the Pcherna river toward Monastir ov.
grooming all resistance. A battle has
been fought in which the Bulgars lost
heavy and left prisoners and guns In
the hands of the victors.
In France the Germans have recap
tured some of the positions they have
lost to the British. Great artillery
duels were in progress all night, de
spite rainy, foggy weather.
Berlin reported the destruction of
three British tanks" in the allies lat
est attacks. Furious Russian attack;
some of them delivered in a snow
storm in the Carpathlans have been
repulsed on the eastern front by the
Austro-German armies.
Attacks are being delivered against
the Germanic allies in Pennsylvania
and Dobrudja. A dispatch says that
General Won Falkanhayn, whose arm
les have been invading Roumania, has
been forced by wound to relinquish
his command.
1t is reported in Rome that the Aus.
tro-Hungarians are making prepara-
tions for another tremendous often

FOOD FAMINE
HURTS power
OF FIRST CHIEF

WASHINGTON, Oct 20-Food fam
inc, whose extent has hitherto been
concealed from outsiders by General
Carranza now threatens to contribute
to the early overthrow of the de facto
government in the northern states of
Mexico. Reports received here today
disclose that thousands are without
food in the states of Chihuahua, Goa
hula and Durango, where the necessi-
ties of life are held at prohibitive
prices.
In these states the Carranza peso
has dropped to two cents with every
prospect that 1t will shortly be abso-
lutely without value The day wages
paid labor have a purchasing power
of but from four to SIX cents. Govern
ment agents meanwhile hold corn at
$4 bushel. This corn is paid for
by the government and then taken
over by military governors who corner
the market and wax fat on the dis
tress Of the people.
Corn lines are formed every even
ing when women carrying tea-cups
gather In long columns to take their
turn in exchanging the few pennies
they can muster for mere handsful Of
earn. Food riots take place nightly In
Chihuahua.

GERTS0N MAKES FLIGHT

Richmond may witness a battle
royal between the elements and fast

when Louis Gertson will make a fight

Clouds were racing across the sky
at unusual speed two hours before the
time set for the afternoon fight to-

free from clouds and leave the night
cold and clear.

ON HIGH CABLES

CHICAGO, Oct 20-The dollar mark
was touched by corn today when Num-
ber Two sold at that figure In the
sample market here. This is the high
est price reached since 1892 and was
feature of the cash grain strength
which was predominant in the market
today.
Reports Of rain all over the corn
belt and conditions in the Argentine
where the crop is an apparent failure
caused widest scenes on the Board
today.
Corn was the leader in the upward
movement. Wet weather, the discov-
cry that there was no cash grain to be
had, and reports that the crops in Iowa
Nebraska and other Western states
were far below normal, set the pit to
seizing and started a demand from
all sources.

IN PATROL DUTY

PARIS, Oct, 20--Greek soldiers

Vice Admiral D'Artige Du Fournet,
commander of the allied blue-jackets

admiral made this definite declara-
tion:

make war against the Greeks, We
have come to establish and maintain
order. We intend to do so, too"
The Athens correspondent of the
Petit Partisan telegraphs that the re-
