Question a Vexing One.

Should the commission. after consid-
ering the gas valuations, decide that a
charge of IS cents a thousand feet for
this commodity is too high or too low
would it have the authority to estab-
lish raE of its own in place of the
congressional rate?
This is the big question that will
confront the utilities board, District
officials point out, should thA proposed
rate be established.

For several hours prior 10 the be-
ginning of the Deutschland's final dash
for the pes she was hidden near Tan
eier Island. about fifty miles above
Cape Henry. The steamer Somerset
and the government buoy tender Ivy
reported during the early afternoon
that they had passed her at that point.
The press boat then took a position
near the dividing point of the old Point
and Cape Henry channels and awaited
the coming OF the undersea vessel.
IL was shortly before o'clock that
the first sight of her was obtained.
Apparently she was about five miles
away, and was low in the water. only
her coming tower showing. The Tim
minis was a short distance behind her.
and they were running about seven
miles an hour.
When near the entrance TO MobJack
bay the Deutschland sighted the press
boat and Immediately reversed her
self and appeared to be making for
the bay. After running for about two
miles she again headed south until
she was abreast the Timmins. and
then both vessels put on full speed
ahead toward the press boat. suddenly
they turned of as if TO 30 down the
Old Point channel. but upon the dis
patch making for the same channel
they changed their course and headed
directly for Cape Henry.

Badly Bruised.

* G. M. Whiting, 205 North Second
avenue, a motorman in the employ of
the Iowa Railway & Light Company,
was badly bruised and beaten about
the head and face. and robbed of be-
tween $40 and $50 of his own money
and $3.50 Of the company's when he
was attacked by two men who boarded
his car at the end Of the North Third
street line at about 1880 Thursday
night.
Whiting received a deep cash over
the right eye, and several severe blows
on the head, as we'll as q bad bruise
just In front of the right ear His con-
dition this morning was somewhat i'm
proved, altho he was unable to give a
connected account of the attack. Three
men were arrested Thursday night by
the police as suspects in the case.
1t is strongly suspected that the car
bandits rode to the end Of the Third
street line about 10 O'clock in the car
operated by Leo Mclaughlin. The
description Of the two men who got
of McLaughlin's car and asked to be
street corresponds in a general way
with the descriptions Whiting was
able to furnish of the men who at
tackled him.
!. Attacked From Rear.
They boarded the car while Whiting
was turning the trolley. When he
reached up to turn the register of fares
and had his back toward the passen-
gers. who had seated themselves on
opposite sides of the car, one struck
him on the head. The blow threw him
toward the other, who also struck him,
knocking Whiting down. Both then
beat him, took his money. but not his
watch, and ieaped of the car. Whiting
made his way to the Ray Doolittle
home soon afterwards and summoned
the police.
Merchant Police Marley and Sheriff
Edgar arrived at the scene Of the hold
up shortly after the alarm was given.
Other members Of the police and sher-,
IFS force watched railroad yards and
the business district.
Three Held for Investigation.
Later in the night Officer Campbell
arrested in the depot district three
men who are being held az suspects.
Up to noon Whiting had not come to
the Jail to identity them. They were
Bruce ("Curley') Pryor, s. F. Gooden,
and q man named Robbins.
The car bandits were described to
the police as being young, not more
than 20 years Of age. and both tall.
about six feet in height. Each wore
gray Mackinaws and gray hats or
caps.
DR.. g. NJ. Johnson, who attended the
injured man, said It was hard to tell
with what sort of an instrument Whit
ing had been attacked. Altho his head
had been badly bruised, the skin was
broken In only one place.

Start Subscription For Band For Amos
Game Tomorrow.
Alumni Of the Marshalltown high
school have become active In boosting
for the Ames- Marshalltown football
game, which closes the season on the
home grounds tomorrow.
Hearing the news that Ames was
coming with a band, and that the band
which the students were trying to get
up might not materialize, several
alumni got together this morning and
started subscription list. A band
will be hired with this money, and it
is hoped TO drown out the noise which
the Ames aggregation proposes to
make. Ames wrote asking that twenty
Ave seats be reserved for their band.
and also asking for special twenty
five cent rate Of admission for the mu-
sicians. The athletic association was
compelled to refuse this because Of the
fact that the association needs all the
money it can get to keep the treasury
from becoming depleted.

GRANDMA never LET
Her HAIR GET GRAY
SHE KEPT HER LOCKS DARK AND
GLOSSY, WITH SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done SO naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
fs mussy and troublesome. For so
cents you can buy at any drug store the
ready use preparations, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
called "Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning all gray hair disap-
pears. and, after another application or
two, your hair becomes beutifnlly dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is sign OF old age, and as we all de-
sire youthful and attractive appear
ance, get busy at once with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound and. look
years younger. This ready-to-use prep
aration Is a delightful toilet requisite
and not a medicine. 1t Is not intended
for the cure. mitigation or prevention OF

BOY ON CARNEGIE ESTATE STRICKEN
 WITH PARALYSIS
How Son of Chauffeur Became Infected In Guarded Place
 Is Mystery.

Stamford, Conn.,. Sept. 1-The ap- pearance of infantile paralysls on the country estate of Andrew Carnegie. at Collenders Point, Noroton. has caused extreme un@>siness among the wealthy residents if that colony.
 George Punton. 13 years old. a son of one of the Carnegie chauffeurs and living in the lodge at the gates to the estate, was found to be suffering with the disease. He was sent to the iso- lation ward of the Stamford Hospital. It was said his case had been fully developed.
 The cottage in which the boy was stricken is only about 50 feet north from the house in which MT. and Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter lived this summer until two weeks ago, when they went away on board their yacht. After a stop at Bar Hartor, MT. Carnegie put to sea again and is believed to be cruising now near New foundland.
 How the boy became infected is a mystery. As soon as the epidemic developed MT. Carnegie placed a guard about the place and no one was permitted to enter. When he left here he gave orders that none of the employees or their families were to go off the estate and no one was to be admitted.
 Other residents of Collender's Point are William Ziegler, John D. Crim- mins and A. H. Renshaw.
