Open Windows.
Out OF the window sea OF, green
trees
Lift their soft boughs like arms OF
q dancer;
They beckon and call me, "Come out
in the SUM"
But cannot answer.
I am alone with Weakness and Pain,
Sick abed and June is going,
I cannot keep her, she hurries by
With the silver-green garments
blowing.
Men and women pass in the street
Glad of the i, shining sapphire
weather,
But we know more OF it than they,
Pain and together.
They are the runners in the sun,
Breathless and blinded by the race,
But we are watchers in the shade
Who speak with Wonder face ito
face.

Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, July 24-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to.
day said: Profit taking and distribu.
tive selling influence by the recent
professional recovery impaired good
deal of irregularity to the security
list in today's early trading. The UNI
certainty of the movement was the
more disappointing to the element
committed to the constructive side OF
the account in view of the generally
favorable character of the news over
the Sunday intermission and the wide
spread belief in a highly satisfactory
quarterly report by the United States
Steel corporation tomorrow. Accord
ing to the current rumor the leading
steel producer will show the largest
earnings in its history and although
there is no certainty about the mat
ter, the possibility Of an extra d1v1'
dend by way Of compensation for pay
ments omitted last year is entertained
in some we'll informed circles.
Activity in U. S. Steel overshadow-
ed all else in the market at the out
set and the influence of strength of
the market leader practically every
thing moved 60 a higher level. But
before the expiration of the first half
hour heavy professional selling
checked the improvement. U. S. steel
also broke sharply and extended it's
loss to seven points or so later on
After the first hour the market dis
played little or no animation.
Conditions little changed and tha
market lost none of its professional
character. Prices moved narrowly
when all dealings were confined
to relatively few issues.

eral purposes and over any type OF
road, the three-inch tire is the most
economical width. 1t has the addi-
tional advantage, with the average
farm loads, that it is a road builder
instead of a road destroyer.
It would be hard to figure just
what part Of the cost of road main
tenance the Iowa narrow tire actually
costs each year, but men who have
made a study OF the matter place it
at many thousands of dollars. If the
Iowa farmer will adopt the wide tire,
says the state highway commission.
he will perform great service to the
community in helping obtain better
roads

BLACKMA|LERS
APPREHENDED N
INTRICATE PLOT
Girl Drags Man Into Clutches Of
Law Through Violation of
Mann Act
GETS $4,000 HUSH
MONEY FROM VICTIM

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Buda Goldman
who is accused of having entrapped
Edward +, West. a wealthy merchan,
here, into a violation Of the Mann
White Slave Act, and paving the way
for three Of her men confederates to
extort Sl5,O0O from him, was released
on $2.50O bonds today after being
questioned by investigators for the
Department of Justice.
1t was only after her arrest in an.
other case that West became con.
vinced that the Goldman woman was
a member of the band, and not a
fellow victim, he said today. Her as.
sumed modification and fear of publ.
city had been the cause of his con.
tributing the money rather than fac
ing prosecution as white SLAYER
he said. She convinced him, he told
Federal authorities, that she was an
innocent convent girl, and it was to
save her that he finally met the de-
mands of the blackmailers.
West said he and the woman were
brought from New York to Chicago
in custody of the blackmailers. whom
he thought were agents of the De-
partment of Justice, taken into the
Federal building here and to the very
door of the Government investigators
before he decided to give over the
money to save prosecution.
p. Later, they we're taken to an office
building, which member of the gang
who represented himself to be a Unit
ed States Commissioner, advised him
to keep the. case out of the courts by
paying his captors.

NEUTRALITY LAWS
IS TALKED OVER
Joint Commissioners Suggest
Amendment To Keep Ameri-
cans Out of Conflicts
DIPLOMATS MADE SOME
HEADWAY IN CONFERENCE

New London, Conn.,, Sept. 26.-Re
vision of American neutrality laws,
with a view to discouraging Amer.
leans from participating in Mexican
factional conflicts, was suggested at
a conference of the Mexican.American
joint commission today. 1t was indi.
Gated that Mexico would be able tu
deal more effectively with rebels and
ordinary bands Of outlaws If the neu.
trality laws were amended in such
manner as to make it an offense for
an American citizen to participate in
any way in a movement against a
government with which the United
States is at peace.
The Mexican commissioners charged
that the inadequacy of the American
law made possible the propagation OF
conspiracies on American soil against
established order in Mexico. The con.
sideration of operation of neutrality
laws was not confined to those of the
United States, however. The Amer.
ican representatives. since the con-
ference began, have held that Mexico
should so govern her frontier so as to
make unnecessary the presence of
an American posse on the south side
if the boundary line.
The American commissioners sub
mitted list of border raids that had
been compiled by the war department.
The Mexican commissioners counter
ed by the presentation of another list
specifying instances where American
soldiers or citizens had crossed the
boundary into Mexico
