ACTIONS ARE SHOT
Three Curious Young SWANS Spend
A Day Picking Birdshot From
Their Anatomy

pittsburg, Aug. 1T is not healthy
tod 90 "snooping" around Red Raven
camping grounds, on the Allegheny
River in early morning hours, when
the Junoesque maids, who are en-
loving their summer outing there,
elect to take an early frolic in the
limpid waters of the old river. At
least that is the experience of several
young Sharpsburg swains who spent
the greater part of today having
birdshot picked from their anatomy.
1t all came about this way:
Seven young women, Sharpsburg
buds, accompanied by the austere
Mrs. Regina Joyce as chaperon, re-
paired to the river bank from their
camp near Red Raven about o'clock
yesterday morning for a plunge. Feel
ing secure in the hour, the girls were
garbed only in natures lingerie.
Soon they were disporting themselves
with high glee in the clear cool water.
Seated quietly on the river bank,
with a shotgun beside her and sus-
picious of every cracking twig, Mrs.
Joyce kept vigil
Suddenly from around bend in
the river came half dozen canoes
through the water toward the nymphs
who, with one accord, sought
deep water. But Mrs. Joyce was on
guard. Warming the rollicking canoe
lists away twice and receiving in re-
turn a sally of jeers, she put the gun
to her shoulder, yelled to the. girls
to get. under water, and pulled both
triggers.
Three of the young swains were
we'll peppered and several others
"nicked up" a bit. But there will be
no complaint to the authorities.

FRENCH FIRE FAST
Increased Smelling Behind German
Lines Prevents Building of
New Defenses

Gray, Picardy, France, Aug. l.
Two French shells to one shell by
the Germans measures the gunfire
on this part of the front, as observ-
ed by a correspondent during three
day stay behind the lines.
The cannonade continues through
out the night, rising to intensity dur
ing the long midsummer days, when
the sunlight enables accurate direc-
'tion of fire. from the air observers.
Three French artillery commanders
feel that they dominate the German
guns here, and they owe it largely
to the airmen. The German 'gunners
must fire by maps, searching for hos
tile batteries by calculating probabi-
lities, because the French still hold
command of the air. No German
sausage balloons, as the French call
them, are able to keep the air, since
| they began to be burned by a new
device three weeks ago. Hostile aero
planes begun appearing in consider
able numbers on Friday and Satur-
day, usually flying at very high al
titudes,, being frequently invisible
from the earth. Machine gun firing
heard occasionally from remote
heights in the air told of air encoun'
ers.

In Accepting Nomination

Original Ideas

New York, Aug. Charles E.
Hughes, who resigned as an associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court to become the candidate OF the
Republican party for President, last
night was formally notified OF his
nomination.
The speech of notification was de-
livered in Carnegie Hall by United
States Senator Warren G. Harding,
of Ohio. In his reply, in which ne an
nounced his acceptance Of the nomlna-
ton, Mr.. Hughes assailed President
Wilson's administration generally
and declared that new policies were
needed, but stated only in general
terms the policies he proposed to
follow if elected.
Mr.. Hughes criticized the Admins
tration for the course it had pursued
with reference to Mexico, mainten-
ance of American rights during the
European war. preparedness and
,other great questions of the day. He
declared for new policy of "frm-
ness and consistency" toward Mexico,
for "the unflinching maintenance of
all.American rights on land and sea-"
and for sadeouate national defense;
adequate protection on both our west
ern and eastern coasts"
"We denounce all plots and con-
spiracies in the interest Of any for
eign nation" Mr.. Hughes said. cut
terly intolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Amer1-
can must unreservedy condemn them
and support every effort for their
suppression"
The nominee assailed the Admins
tration for it's direction of dip
lomatic intercourse from the. begin
ming, declaring that where there
should have been conspicuous
strength and ;expertness there had
been weakness and inexpertness. He
cited San Domingo as an instance
where appointments had gone to
observing Democrats" and the fail
ure to continue Ambassador Herrick
at his post. in Paris after the wal
had started as. ."a lamentable sacrl.
fee for international repute."

SEEKS TO GUST
MAYOR BROCK
Doherty Brings Proceed
ings Against Chief
Executive
LABOR LAW is CAUSE
Petition Says Executive of Isle OF
Wight Was "Openly and Shame
lessly Hostile"

Richmond, Aug. l.. Fulfilling his
threat to bring removal proceedings
under the custer law against mag
istrates who fail, in the face OF con-
elusive evidence of guilt, to impose
the fines required by law, Commits
sioner James B. Doherty, of the
State Department of Labor, has aa-
dressed petition to Judge b. u
White, of the Circuit Court OF Isle
of Wight county, asking for the re-
moval of L. C. Brock as Mayor
of Smithfeld.
The papers setting forth the
charges against Mayor Brock have
been placed in the hands of the Com
monwealth's attorney of Isle OF
Wight, and a copy has been served
upon Mayor Brock. Judge White will
fix the date for the trial.
Commissioner Doherty accuses
Mavor Brock of maintaining an "op-
enly and shamelessly hostile" attitude
and bearing to the enforcement OF
the laws of the Commonwealth, as
evidenced by his conduct when In
spector Clinedinst, of the Labor De-
partment, brought charges in his
court against the Smithfield Light
and Power Company, and the Under
wood Manufacturing Company. Not
withstanding the fact that the
charges against these defendants,
growing out of the violation of the
semimonthl pay and child-labor laws
were fully sustained. Commissioner
Doherty charges, Mayor Brock was
in haste to decide the cases against
the complainant and dismissed the
warrants.
1t is further charged against Mayor
Brock that he permitted bystanders
to prompt witnesses, led witnesses
himself with the intention of dam
aging. the case of the Commonwealth,
admitted in open court that ne had
threatened, before the warrants had
been sworn out and before he had
heard the evidence, to dismiss the
warrants, and that his judicial opln-
ion was admittedly warped, biased
and prejudiced.
Apart from it's immediate relation
to the enforcement program of
the Labor Department, Commission
er Doherty's action is significant as
the first attempt to make use of the
much-discussed custer law. 1t is the
first attempt in years to discipline a
magistrate for failure to enforce the
laws of the Commonwealth. As the
first exercise of the custer law the
proceedings against Mayor Brock
will be: watched with interest
throughout. the State:
1t had been known for some time
that the Department of Labor was
preparing to take steps against a
magistrate in the eastern section OF
the State, where in recent months il
has experienced great difficulty in
securing convictions. Mayor Brock
alleges that the case against the
company was not proven and that
Clinedinst was not present at the
trial.
