2Sk cents an hour, but by being
able to prove that he did 1t, the
neutral arbitrators in the last

decided that 2Sh cents an hour
was too much for a switch engine
fireman, and therefore fixed the
rate at 271b cents per hour on
that same engine.
The Saving clause" in the arbi-
tration agreement prevented an
actual reduction in existing rates

standard rate at ten cents less

Since the recent drowning in the
river here there has been considerable
talk relative to the advisability of the
city or hospital officials purchasing
a pulmotor or a lungmotor.
Physicians say there is not the
slightest doubt but that the young
man who lost his life might have
been saved had there been one of
these life-saving devices at hand
where it could have been brought
into service quickly.
Floyd A. Puffer of this city, who
who has been giving the matter con-
siderable thought since the accident
and who has had some experience
with drowning persons and the hand
ling of the motors says they are GER
tainly very effective in cases of drown
ing, fainting, or when a person is
over come by inhaling gas.

Since the coming of the extreme hot
weather, Tuesday it was 90 degrees
in the shade, the paving has shown a
tendency to expand that made it nec-
essary to lift row of brick at various
places to prevent the pavement heav-
ing. In almost dozen places it was
necessary to take out one course OF
brick. The opening made by their re-
moval will be filled with expansion
material as soon as the bricks have
relaxed fully.
In new pavements where the nee
essary expansion joints are not plac.
ed at the time of laying, it is not un-
common for the pavement to heave
three or four feet with a consequent
breaking of the surface. Giving il
room to expand is thoroughly pre-
cautionary measure.

COPPER SOLD FOR
DELIVERY MARCH,l916

Copper Is being sold for delivery as
far ahead as March. 1917. 1t develops
that sales for this unusually distant
delivery have been made by several
OF the larger producers OF their regu-
lar customers. and that the contracts
call for round lots Of the metal. The
price is understood to be but slightly
under that prevailing for deliveries in
the last quarter OF this year. namely
81 cents.
Purchases of copper by manufac-
turers in this country continue to be
made at such record-breaking rate
that some producers are no longer ac-
cepting any foreign business.
There is but little June copper in the
hands of producers unsold, and the
early exhaustion of all second.uuarter
metal is threatened by the enormous
demand which gives no indication OF
falling off. Business in third and last
quarters Is also exceptionally large.
No change has been made in prices
which remain at 271a cents for June
27A cents for July. and % cents for
the balance of the year

WARMING AGAINST
MILITIA PAY BILL
BY Pae. and Int: News Service.

NEW YORK, April 14.-How a large
paid National Guard may not only
fail to give the United States adequate
preparation against invasion. but may
prove serious menace to the country.
was explained here today by an officer
Of the army general staff. On account
of the gag rule he could not permit the
use Of his name, deeply as he feels on
the subject.
1T is proposed in Congress to create
paid militia consisting of 500 of 1000
men in each congressional district
he said. AT the same time the fed
eral volunteer section of the proposed
law seems in serious danger of being
lost.
Army officers feel that this situa
ton is a menace to the security of the
United States.
You can call this rederalized
militia, you can pass a law that these
troops are under the control of the
president, but the constitution of the
| United States stays just as it is. In

MOTHER "KIDNAPS"
 OWN LITTLE BABY
When Grandmother Sodergren Leaves Child Outside of Store Daughter
 in-Law Takes It Away.

A case of kidnapping reported to the police this morning turned out to be nothing but family Wrangle in which the child's mother had taken the infant from the custody of it's grandmother.
 Mrs. William Sodergren of Smalley street reported that when she went into the Mohican market she left her little grandchild outside in the carriage. When she came out the child was missing. Investigation showed that the mother came along and took the child herself. The mother is Mrs. William Sodergren, Jr., of Commercial street.
 MT. and Mrs. William Sodergren, Jr., are estranged and it is said that the grandmother has been caring for the child since it was five months old. It is now over two years old. The older woman is very much attached to the child and objects to it's mother having it's custody. The mother is just as obdurate about not giving it up.
 As sequel to this morning s Wrangle, this afternoon Mrs. SOder- gren, Jr. her husband and a strange young woman had what for a, few minutes lHTedtelled to pe d IIee-l'l all fight at the railroad depot. The husband, it is said, was with the other woman when his wife and child ap- peared The wife is said to have slapped the other woman and the blow was returned. When the hus- band interfered he, too, is said to have received slaps from both women. The scene created much excitement anc Officer Frank English had to restore order.

British Seadogs Restless.

Norfolk, Va, July 22.-Allied war ships off Cape Henry awaited depart ture by the German submersibl ble Deutschland after a night of slow cruising during which their search lights were played over the entrance to the capes frequently, at daylight to- day quickened their speed and re- sumed their regular north and south patrol.
 It is estimated that the ships are today from eight to ten miles out. At one time last night one of them, pre- sumably a French ship, moved in to within five miles of Virginia Beach, coming closer to shore than she had at any previous time. It was impos- sible at that distance to determine her identity. She had four tunnels. The other ship, which is of a darker color and is supposed to be British, car ries three tunnels.
 Despite reports from Baltimore that Count Won Bernstorff plans to visit the Deutschland next Wednesday, German sources here maintain 1t will be far out in the Atlantic by that time. Furthermore they say the Bremen then will be in some American port
