CUYUNA STRIKE
BECOMES GRAVER

Crosby, Mimi, Aug lathe strike
on the Guyana range is be-
coming graver. Shots We're fired yes
terday. While few miners return
ing from work were coming through
the additions of Crosby adjoining
Ironton they were stopped and badly
beaten. having already received
threats Of such treatment If they in
sisted on going to work.
Deputy sheriffs stationed along the
roads leading to the mines soon came
to the rescue, and lively exchange
of shots resulted. The deputies. be-
ing inferior in number, were forced
to run. Other deputies were soon on
the scene with the local police. and
half dozen arrests were made. a
couple Of the ringleading agitators
being among them. AS far as can be
learned no one was injured during
the shooting.
Another shooting affray is reported
between here and Guyana, but no
harm was done.
A meeting Of the business men of
Crosby and Ironton was held at Iron
ton to discuss what steps could best
be taken to settle the trouble. Yes
terdey afternoon the village councils
Of Crosby and Ironton passed ordi-
nances forbidding the parading of
masses through the streets Of either
town without permit from the
council. Most Of the mines are still
open and trying to work.

LONDON BOARD TO
END HORST COMPANY

London, Aug. 12.-The board of

fairs Of the Horst company on the
ground that it is an eneray concern.

said by officials of the company to be
In control of the concern. appeared
before the board and said the control
lay in the hands of American and
British stockholders. It is understood
other companies in which Mr.. Par

fate.
Before the war the Horst company
was under control Of Mr.. Partello's
brother-in-law, Baron Lewis Won
Horst Of Coburg, Germany, who was
arrested soon after the war began as
an alien enemy and interned. The
American consulate has been asked to
intervene on the ground that the
companies affected are now controll-

Informal Inquiries into
the Bread Situation

Washington, Aug. 12.-whether
there shall be a federal Investigation
Of the high cost Of -four and prospec-
tive increases in bread prices depends
largely on the report of Commissioners
Hurley, now in Chicago making infor-
NAL inquiries for the federal trade
commission.
Mr.. Hurley went to Chicago partic-
ularly to seek definite information at
the headquarters of the National Bak-
ers' association concerning statements
during the associations convention at
Salt Lake City that the price Of bread
soon would be increased. Officials of
the commission said today, however,
that they would look into tho general
question of fiour and bread prices.
The departments Of agriculture and
justice also are giving attention to the
subject, although there has been no
formal action.
Copies of resolution passed by the
bakers at Salt Lake City calling on
congress to place an embargo on nour
exports were received today BY Vice
President Marshall and Speaker Clark.

DEMOCRATS RECONSIDER
INCOME TAX REDUCTION

Washington. Aug. '12.-Yielding TO
flood Of protests from tho country
and from senate and house members
of their own party, Democrats of the
senate finance committee reconsider
ed yesterday their decision to lower
the exemption in the income tax law
from $4,000 to $4,000 for married and
single persons to $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. but voted to make the
rate of tax on the lowest taxable
class of income two per cent instead
of one per cent.
Had the committee declined to
yield on the amendment the Demo-
cratic senate caucus probably would
have reversed it. The amendment in
creasing the surtax on incomes ex-
ceeding $2.o00.000 from 10 to 13 per
cent is retained. and it is proba BILE
further surtax increases will be made
in caucus.
Last night the Democratic caucus
continued consideration of commit
tee amendments and had before it the
proposal agreed on by the committee
late in the day striking out the speci-
fic excise taxes on munitions manu-
factures and substituting 10 per
cent net profit tax on the profits Of
all manufacturers of munitions and
wares that enter into munitions.
The committee also adopted an
amendment today increasing the SAL
aries Of mem bers of the proposed tar
iff board from $500 to $4,000 each.
AS revised by the committee the
bill would yield an estimated annual
revenue of s19S.000.0O0 as against
Se10.000.000 as it passed the house
The net decrease is due to the change
in the munitions tax. the house meas
ure providing for 100000 and the
senate plan $45,OO0,O0O.

RUSSIANS MAKE
Big SUCCESSES
IN THE EAST
Sweeping Victories are Re-
ported-Stanislau is
Captured.

London. Aug. PA further series
OF surprising successes by the armies
of Generals Sakharoff and Letchitzky
were announced by the Russians The
most important of these successes
were the capture Of the important
railway junction and town of Stanis-
lau: the definite occupation of Mon
asterzyska: and the seizure of inn
portant positions on the Zlota Lipa
line. Coupled with these victories was
the capture Of many thousands Of
prisoners. especially on the right bank
OF the Sereth. where the prisoners
taken number five thousand.
The Germans appeared to regard
the kovel-Lemberg sector as the
most critical position on the eastern
front. and the appointment of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg to the chief
command undoubtedly had the effect
OF temporarily stemming the Russian
advance on the northern section Of
the line. But Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg does not hold the controlling
command over the troops guarding
the southern approaches to Lemberg
where General Letchitzky, having
taken Stanislau and being in striking
distance Of Halich. is rapidly COM
pleting his encirclement Of the army
Of General Won Bothmer. The lat
ter's forces have held obstinately to
their positions since last winter, and
have kept them virtually intact. How
ever, 1t cannot be long now before
the fate of Lemberg is sealed, mill
tary observers believe.
The possession Of Stanislau and
kolomea makes secure the Russian
possession of Bukowina and gives
them a base for an invasion of Hun
gary. The fall of Halich, which also
Is regarded as imminent. would inter-
fere seriously with General Won Both
mer's communications. and would
compel him to retire his army along
the left bank Of the Dniester toward
Lemberg and between the Russian
forces advancing from the direction
OF Tarnopol and Brody. The German
official statement today admitted a re-
grouping Of the Teutonic forces was
taking place in order to meet the new
positions of the Russian armies.

BULLET PROTECTOR"
IS VERY DANGEROUS

Vienna, Aug. 12.-The Austrian au-
thorities have been making an appar-
emily ineffectual fight against an al
legged bullet protector" that is wide
ly sold, but which it is claimed is
dangerous rather than helpful In any
way.
The protector" is nothing but a
curved piece Of metal that is hung
about the neck inside the tunic. and
which, its producers claim. will stop
or lessen the force Of a bullet fired
at long range. In practice, the au-
thorities claim. it is merely a menace
because bullet at short range-as
most Of them are-will not only pierce
1t easily but fatten out in the process
and often carry bits of the metal on
into the body.
Some half dozen dealers in the
protector were hailed before the
courts recently on the charge of en-
dangering public safety. Each claim
ed that the metal shields will stop
bullets fired at a thousand yards or
more. They established satisfa ctor-
lily that they never had sold the
shields under any other pretense, and
therefore could not be held for fraud.

Claims Fatherhood
of Submarine Traffic

The Hague. Netherlands, Aug. 12.-
A retired Dutch army officer claims
the fatherhood Of the transatlantic
submarine service recently inaugur-
ated by the Deutschland. Jonkheer
j. Sandberg. formerly OF the Neither
lands East Indian army, says that
more than year ago he addressed a
letter to Admiral Won Tirpitz through
the German consul-general at The
Hague. setting forth the idea of break
ing the British blockade by this
means and recommending its execu-
ton. A copy of the letter was a few
days latero brought to the notice of
Herr Ballin. the managing director of
the Hamburg America line. The lat
ter was much taken with the plan,
and consulted with the competent au-
thorities regarding its execution.

Berlin Food Kitchens
Get Fewer Patrons

Berlin, Aug. IA good index to
the improving food conditions in Ger
man cities Is afforded by the practical
working out Of experimental munici-
pal mass feeding in Greater Berlin
during the first months existence of
the municipal kitchens.
The initial registration was disap-
pointing to the authorities, who had
made lavish arrangements and had
equipped plants for feeding hundreds
Of thousands Of persons II necessary.
The number. of registrations increased
siightly during the first two weeks.
but now has shrunk to one-half the
original number, which, in view Of
the fact that the municipal food is
offered at and below cost, indicates
that at present there is neither wide-
spread need nor demand for munich
PAL food and that Berliners are able
and prefer to cover their own food
requirements and cook at home.
This has been q revelation to those
who had judged Germanys food
problem too ,conservatively.
