DANES DELAY ACTION
ON SALE OF ISLANDS
Upper House Appoints Commit
fee to Consider II.

Copenhagen, Aug. i5.-The Land
sthing, the Upper House of the Danish
Parliament, tonight appointed a COM
mittee Of fifteen members to consider
the matter of the sale Of the Dsnish
West Indies TO the United States. This
action was taken after the entire mem
bership in the Landsthing had held a
closed meeting since early in the morn
ing.
Consideration Of the sale by the
Lanosthing probably will be retarded
and il is not now known when the
Landsthing will hold open meetings to
discuss the subject The attitude Of
the members of the various political
parties in the Lsndsthing tonight was
more uncertain than it was yesterday.

Fifteen children who we're among the
early victims of infantile paralysis
were discharged yesterday from the
Willard Parker Hospital, at the foot
Of East Sixteenth Street, where they
have been under treatment for eight
weeks. OF all fifteen, only one-a
three-year-old boy from West Brigh-
ton, S. 1.-was discharged as cured,
and even he had a slight facial paraly-
sis which will dishgure him for years.
OF the others, some could not walk;
others managed 10 make their way to
the street Big clinging TO the hands of
their mothers; the arms of several
hung limp and useless, and splints were
on their legs. One two-yesrold boy
from Rosebank, S. l., hobbled out,
wearing braces which he must keep
strapped to his legs for many years,
il not for life.
All Ill Since May.
In these children the disease ap-
peared early in May, and with the ex-
ception Of one child who was released
last week, they are the first victims
to be discharged. They formed a pa
thetically quiet group as they hobbled
from the elevators to meet their
fathers and mothers in the hospital
Offices. Those of the children who
were able to walk to the streetcars
and the elevated roads left quickly;
others had to wait until the Health
Department could get automobiles in
which to take them TO their homes.
Four of the fifteen went to Staten ISL
and. seven to Brooklyn, and four to
Manhattan.

wife with pretty brown hair, mellow
brown eyes, light complexion and ro-

not seen any "really pretty girls in

ORPHANED BY JUTLAND
FIGHT, SEEKS RELATIVE
Girl of Seven Arrives Here from
Belfast on Way to Spokane.

A freckle-faced little girl, fatherless
and motherfess since the naval battle
off Jutland, arrived here on the Anchor
liner Tuscania yesterday and started
at once on the second half Of her jour
ney from Belfast to Spokane, where
her only living relative awaits her.
Seven-year-old Annette Harvey's
father was killed during the clash OF
the English and German fleets in the
North Sea. Her mother died when she
heard the news. Friends in Belfast
cared for the child until Mrs. G. J.
Delaney, her mothers sister, wrote for
her. ,.
A special board of inquiry at Ellis
Island allowed the little girl to
enter and she started on her trans
continental Journey.

Vashnqton Aug. 15-This statement issued at ths
White House morning after the rdicdy managers
mittce had left:
The President spent an hour and a half this
morning with representatives Of the railway
management. After the conference he said that
it was impossible as yet to report on the results
All that he could say was that very candid and
honest discussion was in progress about prac-

After the meeting NTH the employees representatives this
afternoon the President issued this statement

CAR MEN CHEER
NEW STRIKE TALK
Union Leaders Threat to
"Paralyze Traffic" Loudly
Applauded at Meeting.

Asserting that the surface car line
managers have no intention OF keeping
the Mayors agreement, under which the
recent strike was settled, with their
workers, union leaders drew loud
cheers from q meeting Of several hun
dred subway and elevated employees
last night when they threatened 70
paralyzs every rapid transit and sur
face line in the city within twenty-four
hours unless there was q radical change
on the part Of "Shonts and his gang"
"If things don't change, | hope ~
will tie New York up again as it has
never been tied up BEFORE" cried P. II.
Reardon, q member Of the executive
board of the Amslgamated Association
Of Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes Of America, which has been en-
gineering the mems end Of the fight
with the lines. "The agreement made
with the Mayor and with the chairman
Of the Public Service Commission
hasn't been carried out by any Of the
companies.
"If it comes TO Q question between
the interests of the street car men and
the interests of the public, I say, the
car men, for me! Mr.. Shonts and Mr..
Hedley and Mr.. Wood and tho rest Of
the gang have signed their names 10
an agreement and tell you here they
are doing everything they possibly can
to prevent the carrying out Of that
agreement The only thing left 10 to
force them. II you could lick them in
the unorganized condition you were in
ten days ago, organized you could

but | tell you Shonts and the rest of
his gang, gang, gang are trying to

"And what is more; l say to Mayor
Mitchell and to Chairman Straus Of the
Public Service Commission; where are
you, that you are not in New York to

Their place is in New York City to sec
that the agreement with the gang is

The gathering was a general mass
meeting Of the employees Of the sub

bers in the union, electing officers and
selecting committees to present their
detailed demands to the companies.

Eight-Hour Day Conceded.
The railroads, on the other hand,
are willing TO concede an eight-hour
day in principle, providing an ar
rangement is made for the Inter-
state Commerce Commission or some
other body to determine its prac-
ticability and method of application.
The plan that is expected to be
presented to both sides, providing the
President is able to make both come
to terms at all, requires important
concessions from each. Taking the
employees at their word, that they
seek only better working conditions.
the President is endeavoring to get
the railroads to agree to grant them
an eight-hour day. In consideration
Of that, it is proposed that the rail-
roads will waive their counter pro-
posals and that the men will forget,
or perhaps consent TO arbitrate, their
demand for time and half pay for
overtime.
The settlement is still up to the
railroad managers tonight. The
brotherhood presidents and delegates
are satisfied with the situation. They
are willing to give President Wilson
courtesy, consideration and oppor-
tunity to effect an C table agree
ment, but beyond that they will
not go.
Might Arbitrate Overtime.
It is quite probable, however, that
if they were granted an eight-hour
day without a string TO it, they
would consent TO arbitrate their
punitive overtime demand. But on
that score they are keeping their own
counsel and to all intents and pur-
poses have not receded from the
stand they took before the mediation
board, that they would not arbitrats
anything.
The brotherhood chiefs do not ex-
pect to be called to the White House
again before late tomorrow afternoon
or Thursday morning. The Presiden,
plans to spend most OF tomorrow with
the railroad managers. They have
made just as strong a statement ~
their case and presented as complete
justification for their stand as tho
union officials, but the concession upon
which any settlement OF the eontro-
versy depends must come from their
side. The President pursued at the be-
ginning a different policy toward thu
managers last night, the method hs
uses on recalcitrant Congressman and
Senators by individual meetings.

ference committee OF managers. wss

The two statements that came from
the President during the day through

idea, in spite OF their brevity. Of jus.
how little progress is being made. The
first one, issued after the managers

morning, having discussed the situation

milk of impoverished quality. An ex-

blood and nutriment taken from its
host which should go to the forma-

Various methods have been followed
in trying to rid cattle of ticks, by
picking or brushing them off, by spray
ing with disinfectants, and by dipping
formerly in petroleum solutions

with an arsenical compound. The

Mr.. Sparkman own district
which has kept him in Congress
twenty-five years, gets S56S,5oo. Vi
this amount, two counties, Hillsbor-
ough and Pinellas, get s355,OoO and
the NINE OTHER COUNTIES OF
THE DISTRICT ONLY s13,5O0.
Hillsborough and Pinellas deserve
what they get and great deal more
but Mr.. Sparkman evidently cares
little about the needs of the other
counties of the district.
If we are TO base our support OF
Mr.. Sparkman for reelection on his
pork barrell' poclivities, we find
that he has signally failed to ade-
ouately represent the district even in
this particular.
Mr.. Sparkman has not risen to
the opportunities afforded by
craftsmanship through which other
men became real powers in Congress.
He has failed both as a statesman
and as a money-getter His name is
never mentioned when the porten-
tous questions of national legislation
are discussed.
Why, then, should the Democrats
of the First district give him life
long title to their seat in the House?
Isn't it time to make a change-to
give the people chance at represen-
tation rather than the special inter
ests and particular friends he has
represented there 70 all these yeas?
