TONGUE IS MIGHTIER
 THAN THE TOE HOLD
Glib Stranger Talks ZbysZko Out
 Of Diamond Ring

New York, Aug. 15.-Wladeck Zby- szko, the wrestler, yesterday appea Ad to Magistrate Frothingham for as- sistance in com batting the persuasive tongue of a little man who, he said, obtained his $70O ring five months ago and since then has talked him out of demanding it back a half dozen times.
 If it were just the man and the ring and I there would be no need to ask for help" the athlete told the court forlornly, but his tongue is of such assistance to him my strength is no help to me. What he says when you get chance to think about it. amounts to nothing; but as he says it. so quickly and neatly, it sounds all right for the moment. And then he is gone."
 Zbyszko is in the habit of practising his toe holds and hammerlocks in Bothner's gymnasium at 250 West Forty second street. Last March 28 he started on the mat, only to find that he had forgotten to take off his ring. To work a half nelson with such a delicate bit of jewelry on his muscular hand might be fatal for the jewelry, so he took it off. Near by stood man whose face was familiar.
 
 see," Zbyszko explained to the Magis- trate. Many times in a crowd he Is there and always he says when I l come, Hello, Zbyszko,' and I say i 'Hello,' and so after a lot of times I remember his face and we know each other"
 l So Zbyszko gave the ringside friend l his trinket to hold. When the bout was over ring and friend were gone. | He met the man the next day, and 1 then the blandishing tongue foiled l him. The stranger explained easily l that he had not dared to carry so valuable stone about with him. He might lose it. It was safe at home
 and he would deliver it the next day. Zbyszko agreed. But the next day no | ring appeared.
 Every time I saw this man he
 said: Just so safe as the ring would
 be with you so it is with me-" zby-
 szko testified. "So it went until three l weeks ago."
 1 Then Zbyszko saw his diamond in
 the window of a Sixth avenue pawn l shop He was ready to rend the
 false friend into fragments when they
 met again, but instead the man was
 so hurt and insulted at his suspicious 1 that the tender hearted wrestler apol- l ogized for his demands He went
 back to gaze at his ring shining in
 the pawn shop window instead. Magistrate Frothin gham agreed
 that the giant athlete needed some
 help and a policeman half his size 1 was detailed to the case. ZbyszkO was | so grateful he volunteered his services | as interpreter for an Italian in an other case on the docket.

White May Have Opposition.

Indianapolis, Aug. 15.-Nominations of candidates for offices of the United Mine Workers of America are being received daily at the International headquarters in this city. To have his name placed on the ballot, which will be voted on next December, a candidate must be nominated by at least five local unions. The nOm- nations will close August 29.
 William Green of Ohio, who is a candidate for reelection as secretary treasurer, thus far has no opponent in the race.
 A number of local unions, it is un- derstood, have nominated John H. Walker, president of the Illinois Fed eration of Labor and former president of the Illinois Miners, to oppose h. ternational President John P. White, who also is a candidate for re-elec- tion. Vice President Frank Hayes probably will have no opposition for reelection.

SENATE DEMOCRATS
 PASS REVENUE BILL
Salary Of Tariff Commission Not
 Raised to S1O,OOO

Washington, Aug. 15.-The demo- crats of the senate in caucus at an early hour this morning completed their consideration of the General Revenue bill, passed by the house, and it will be presented to the re- publican members of the finance com mittee in order to comply with the perfunctOry requirements of parlia- mentary courtesy. The measure will be reported to the senate by the fin ance committee without delay and brought up for consid eration as soon as the pending Ship Purchase bill is disposed of.
 While the caucus stood by the dem ocratlc members of the finance com mittee in their revision of the house bill, one important change which will cause considera ble disappointment to those in favor of a scientific revision of the tariff was made by the caucus This was to reduce to s7,5OO each the salaries to be paid to mersbers of the permanent Tariff Commission which the bill creates.
 The house had provided salaries for
 
 amount, but, in response to consider able sentiment for more liberal treat ment, the democratic members of the senate finance committee recommend ed to the caucus that the salary of each commissioner be $1O.0OO The caucus had an economical mood, and restored the lower house figure
 It was expected that the caucus would be lively as Senator Underwood of Alabama. author of the present tariff law, promised a determined fight to defeat the Tariff Commission and the dvestuffs schedule. He had indicated that he would endeavor to have these provisions eliminated from the bill on the ground that the Tariff Commission was not necessary, and that the proposed duties on dyestuffs recognized the protection principle to which the democratic party was op- posed.
 Much to the surprise, however, of his fellow senators, MT. Underwood did not attend to the caucus, and there was no contest worthy of the name over the provisions to which he objected.
 The provision creating a Tariff Commission was amended, on mo- ton of Senator Hoke Smith of Geor- gia, so as to restrict the commission from renting office quarters for more than two years. Senator Smiths ac- ton was construed to mean that he was not in sympathy with the idea of making the commission a permanent body.

 Referring to the effects of the re- cent coal strike, President McLennan says conditions have been improved but not because of the Rockefeller plan, but because of publicity, gained during the strike.

Dycstuf Tariff.

The dyestuff section of the bill, as proposed by the finance committee, was approved with a proviso offered by the committee that the duties fixed should not become effective until af- ter the end of the European war.
 The duties on dyes as incorporated in the amended bill are: Two and one-half cents a pound specific duty and 15 per cent. ad valorem duty on intern ediate dyes; cents a pound specific duty and 30 per cent. ad va lorem duty on finished dyes, with the exception of natural indigo on which the duty will be 30 per cent ad va 1orem only.
 A considerable portion of the ses- sion of the caucus was devoted 6 discussing the wine schedule. The caucus approved the section as writ ten by the finance committee, the principal item from a controversial standpoint being an increase from 10 cents per gallon, as provided in the house bill, to 55 cents per gallon on brandies used in fortified wines. A contest over the increase in the duties on brandies used in fortified wines has been waged between the Ohio and the California wine makers.
 In view of the adoption last night of the license tax on stock of Corpor- ations, the caucus voted to eliminate stamp taxes on express and freight bills of lading and telephone and tele- graph messages. Stamp taxes are retained, however, on bonds, deben- lures, and certificates of indebtedness conveyances, Custom House receipts | insurance policies, foreign steamship
 tickets, and Pullman car seats anc | berths.

discussion Of the twin question, that
is, the explanation of twins. The
several phases were duly discussed
and the question of whether a ten

cussions have appeared on this same
subject, but none, SO far as we know
have yet been so unique, and none
have been akin to discussion of the

A PRAYER AND A PROPHECY.
BY John Jordan Douglass.

1.
Oh, Lord, we know so little where
to go;
We grope so dimly midst the clamor-
ing horde;
Give us thy guide light, leading on
below,
Lest in our haste we grasp the scar
let sword.
Lest we, who feel no passion of the
| kings,
Should leap too blindly in the red
abyss,
Where wars black vulture waits with
lowering wings,
And Death seals Life with many
cold white kiss;
Lest we, when fires of righteous
anger burn,
Should fail to follow the great Prince
of Peace,
Who on the cross poured from life's
broken urn
stream of mercy that shall never
Two thousand years! Oh, Lord, the
worlds still blind;
. Somehow it can not see that war is
loss;
Grant us cen yet a peace mid all
mankind,
The holy peace that seeks Golgotha's
| cross.
Oh, Lord, we know so little how to
live;
And Love is weak, whilst Hate is
fierce and strong:
Teach us, we pray Thee, to forget,
| forgive,
Lest in our rage we lift the braided
thong.
Oh, God of battles and the long white
line,
We burn with anger for the cause
seems just;
And yet we read, "Vengeance is
| Mine;"
And thou wilt beat the wrong into
| the dust.
Thine is the sea and all it's fathomed
deeps;
Thy campfres burn, myriad myriad
stars;
We wait for Thee whose army never
sleeps;
Thy bugle call shall sound the end of
wars!
To Thee no terror in their armored
fleet;
What carest Thou for any submarine {?
IThe thorn of swords shall no more
pierce Thy feet;
The glory of Thy truth shall yet be
seen.
They sowed the seeds; the harvest
must be reaped,
Sheaf on sheaf till the last field is
bare,
And the last grim gift to war is
heaped
Mid the throbbing drum and the
! bugle's blare.
But through it all the Living Truth
| shall win,
| And pour it's largess at the Masters
feet;
His heel shall press the neck of con-
quered sin
When wars long cycle rolls at last
complete.
