NEW YORK, Nov. +. - Another al

ers whose operations against wealthy
men and women in many cities attracted
considerable attention in recent months
was arrested here yesterday. George
Bush, an actor, was taken into custody
on the complaint of J. j. Klein, a Bal
timore banker, who accused him of ex-
torting $4,000.
Bush and Edward Donahue, pris-
oner in the Tombs here, induced Klein,
according to the banker s story, to sur
render the money upon their representa-
ton that they, as representatives Of the
| department of justice, would refrain
from prosecuting Klein after taking
| him to Baltimore last summer from At
| lantic City, where Bush and Donahue
met Klein in the company of a woman,
The latter, according to the complaint
/ was taken with Klein to Baltimore, the

then being under arrest. The authori-
ties are looking for the woman.

COST OF DYING HIGHER.
Undertakers' Supplies Advance-Start
Campaign for Cremation

NEW YORK, Nov. /. - The Euro
pean war is held responsible for the in
crease in the cost of burial supplies and
consequent advance announced by
undertakers for funeral services Ow-
ing to the war, it was said, undertak-
ers hardware name plates and cof-
fin handles-has risen in price from 20
to 40 per cent, due to the fact, the sup
ply men claim, that the chemicals used
to give the nickel effect is not now be-
ing imported. 1t is estimated that even
the cheapest collins cost So more than
formerly.
Wholesale dealers in burial supplies
have notified undertakers throughout
the city of a general advance in the
trade. To offset the advance the un-
dertakers are considering the advisa
bility of entering upon a campaign i'll
favor of cremation.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
MAY BE SERIOUS
Practically None Was Obtainable il
Springfield, Mass, Yesterday
Wholesalers Anxious.

SPRINGFIELD Mass, Nov. A.
There was no sugar in Springfield
yesterday, aside from few bags scat
tered here and there among the whole
sale houses and what the retail grocers
had in stock. Sugar could not be OBJ
tanned from the large Wholesale houses
at any price Yesterday afternoon; the
reply was the same to all orders from
retailers: eve haven't a barrel of
sugar in the place. \ bakery on the
hill was forced to suspend the manu-
facture of most of its cakes and cook
les because the proprietor was unable
to beg, borrow or steal enough sugar
for his business. The sugar situation
at present, wholesalers say, is serious
and no one can tell where or when the
shortage will end.
One of the biggest wholesale and re
tail grocers in the city stated last
night that beyond what sugar there
might be in his string of stores here
| he had none and did not know where
| he could get any unless long promised
carload, delayed three weeks. should
| get here today. He was talking witt
the American and Boston sugar re
fineries officials over the telephone
last night, he said. and they told hin
that they were 50 DAYS oversold. THAI
is, they could not promise delivery
sooner than 80 days and could no.
| guarantee it then. The Springfield re
taller and wholesaler said that TIVE
large candy manufacturing companie
here had borrowed half a carload or $,
of sugar apiece from him in order t,
fill their candy contracts for the,

sale houses or outside the city.
The peculiar feature of the suoa
shortage here is that it has not ha,
any apparent effect on prices as vet
Carload prices, delivered in the city a
wholesale, were yesterday quoted a
Sl.62 per 100 pounds, approximate
~ cents pound. The retail price
varied between 8 and 10 cents
pound, not greatly differing from tn
prices for the last month or so. Suga
has practically doubled in price tn
past year, however. Several wholesal
dealers argued yesterday that if tn
present shortage is not relieved with
q day or two by several carload shi,
ments the local prices will be sharpl

The New Dime.

; One impression conveyed by the
new dime, fresh from the haunt of the
Money devil, is that of a picture in a
shadow box. In order that he might
bring ont the face of Liberty the artist

edge is deep, though graceful. The
concave surface gives play to lights

Hold il another way and her face
shines brightly from the surface of a
Swallowed pool.
The wear on the coin will not be
on the cheek Of Liberty, as it was in
the old design, but on the edge of her
cap, which is more like a motoring
helmet than the former fashion in
headdresses for this important lady
The cap covers her ears, and the
wings on it suggest that she is in sym
pathy with the modern pace.
She is fine looking girl: not the
cold Roman lady of the previous coin
age, but a person who might have
come from Yassar. Her neck is more
slender than that of the old girl and
her chin is fine and strong, but not
thick. 1t is easy to see where her
nose departs from her brow. 1t is a
nice little nose, even if it does lack
the tilt of magazine cover noses. Tbs

The Sovereign South.
(Rutland Herald.)

Various campaign speakers have re-
ferred to the domination of southern
Democrats in congress, but when Con
gresham Greene showed actual cop
les of bills to provide pensions and
benefits for Confederate veterans and
an issue of the Congressional Record
devoted to celebrating the birthday of
jefferson Davis, it rather pointed the
moral.
1t is true that so far the Solid South
has not dared to do away with the
qualification of loyalty as a require
ment for pension, but the attempt is
made at practically every session of
congress. and, if the Democrats are
continued in power, it will slip past
some day and the foodgates will be
open.
With one-ffth of the country s popu-
lation, one-seventh of the capital and
with a membership of 81 out of 49,
the South is governing the whole
United States today.
Five members of Wilson S cabinet
are southerners.
Southerners are chairmen of II out
of Is great committees.
| Eight southern states control these
committees.
The revenues of the eight amount t.
$53, 600, 900 year.
The revenue from New York alone
is over $l01,0 100000.
These are conditions which northern
Democrats never bargained for wnel

A New Version.

y Western newspaper gives this YER
sion of the famous Concord hymn as
rewritten BY Secretary of War Baker
in the spirit of his recent speeches:
BY the rude bridge that arched the
flood,
Their rag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled horse thieves
stood
And fired, half shot, upon the world.
The foe long since in silence slept,
Alike our ragged cut Threats sleep;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream where they
stole sheep.
On this green bank, by this soft stream
We set today a votive stone
That memory may their crimes redeem
Since to the open they should have
gone.
Spirit who made those bandits dare.
To rifle churches, and to be
Worse than the 9reasers anywhere,
You must apologize to me,

THE PRESIDENT

An impression has gone abroad
that the President may not leave the
country. There is no law that pre-
vents his doing SO, and there is no
provision in the Constitution that he
would violate in leaving the national
jurisdiction. There is a constitution
al direction tht the N~ice-President
shall act for the President in case he
is disabled. If be went abroad in
such Il way as to prevent his direct

have disabled himself, and the Vice
President might act for him in his
absence. In these days OF the tele-
graph. the telephone and the wireless,
however. it would be hard for him
to take a trip during which he could
not keep in constant communication
with those ut home who would carry
out his directions.
