Visited by two frosts during the past
few days. yet the corn of this vicinity,
such as would make good at all, under
ordinary conditions. has not been in
iured to any appreciable extent. Indeed
it may be benefited in that growth will
be stopped and maturity FASTENED. Fri
day morning there was a trace of frost
but not sufficient to show its effects

ing a heavier frost was evident. but its
damage Will be very slight.

PORT OF MISSING WHEELS

Perhaps you have wondered what

so long ago everybody had one-fa-
Their. mother. children and aunts from
the country. And then, in the night.
motor cars got cheaper and all the
bicycles disappeared. Like the Palm
Beach suits they are all here in Flor
ida. There are bicycles everywhere,
on the fiat, hard beautiful roads. on
the curbstones. leaning against the
piazzas. in the streets. If the mo-
tor car has swept them from the north
ern streets. it has not done that here.
Men, women and children on bicycles
whirl about the streets. tingling their
little bells and the motor-car drivers
look out for them. Just beyond the
veranda at Palm Beach were hundreds
of bicycles waiting to be hired. Out
on the shaded roads were other hun
dreds bearing their gayly attired bur-
denS.
In the lobby, where I was making my

cOUNTERFElTERs CAPTURED
Plans Of Gang to Make 81, 900 900
in Bogus Money.

New York, Aug. ia conspiracy
to manufacture and circulate 81 ,000,-
900 in counterfeit silver certificates
and United States treasury notes was
frustrated here today by William J.
Flynn, chief of the government Sc
cret service, and several of his as
sistants.
Eight arrests were made after raids
On a house at Grant City, Staten
Island, and one in East Ninth street,
this city. A complete counterfeiting
outfit was found, consisting of photo
graphic apparatus, photographic press
es, electrotyping and etching tools,
paper and colored ink.
According to the secret service men
the counterfeiters apparently were
well supplied with money, their out
fit alone having cost upwards of
$4,000. The scheme, the government
agents said they were informed, was
to manufacture the $1,O00,O00 in spur
ious bills and then destroy the plant
before attempting to dispose of the
bogus money.

TO HOLD MILITIA IN STATES
War Department Suspends Order for
Movement of Guardsmen to Bor-
der for the Present.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Orders for
the remaining $4,000 modified units
of the national guard to go to border
have been suspended by the War De-
partment. No official explanation has
been made, but it is known that the
delicacy of the railroad strike situa-
ton has been the moving considera-
ton.
The suspension of the orders to the
troops should not be taken as an indi-
cation that the Presidents negotia-
tions with the railroad -bEotherhoods
and the railroad managers have taken
an unfavorable turn, but is a measure
of caution.
1t was considered highly undesirable
that all the remaining guardsmen
should be moved to the border while
there was possibility of railroad
strike in which they might be called
upon to preserve order There is even
the possibility that some of the troops
in the event of a strike might be
called upon to guard or operate mail
trains and trains supplying the troops
already on the border.

MAKING PARALYSIS SERUM
New York Health Authorities Issue
Call for Volunteers to Give
Some of Their Blood.

New York, Aug. 15.-After thirty
four and one-half ounces of blood had
been taken from six persons today,
%ho have recovered from infantile pa
ralysis, to be used in the preparation
of the human serum which vs. said to
have afforded relief to sufferers from
the disease, the health authorities to-
night issued a call for more volun-
teers. stating that the supply of the
serum is inadequate.
One sufferer to whom the human
serum treatment is being admins
tered is DR.. Leory B. Vail, whose con-
dition is said to have shown decided
improvement.
William Ashman Major, president of
the Independent Iron Workers union,
died from the disease today in hos
pital at Elizabeth, N. J. He had been
i'll about a week and was 35 years old.
DR. Banks, in charge of the federal
service here, said the travel of chill
dren from this city has fallen off

House Passes Measure That
Will Make United States
Second Sea Power.
COMPLETES DEFENSE PLANS
Both Democrats and Republicans Aid
the Work-Some Items Are
Still in Dispute.

washington, Aug. 16.-Congress vir-
tually completed the national defense
program tonight by finally approving
the great increases in naval construc-
ton and personnel written into the
Naval bill and urgently supported by
the administration.
The House accepted the building
program, to which it's conferees ON
the measure had refused to agree, by
vote of 283 to 81, with seven mem
bers present not voting. The person
mel increase, on which there also was
disagreement in conference, was ap-
proved without a record vote.
For 157 Ships in Three Years.
The personnel and construction sec
lions, which already have the APP
proval of the Senate, authorize an in
crease in enlisted men to 74.7OO and
the building of 157 war vessels within
the next three years, with four battle
cruisers and four battle ships in
cluded among the ships for 1917. Pre-
viously the House had refused to
adopt a continuing building program,
had authorized only five capital ships,
all of them battle cruisers, and had
provided for a personnel of only
$4,000.
On several less important sections,
including appropriations for improve
ment of navy yards, the House insist
ed on it's disagreement to Senate in
creases and voted to send the bill
back to conference for settlement of
these points. An early agreement is
expected, however, and the measure
may be sent to the President for his
signature within a week.
The vote by which the House ac-
cepted the Senate increase in the
building program was nonpartisan,
the majority of both Democrats and
Republicans voting in the affirmative
Kitchen Attacks Democrats.
In the debate on the building pro-
gram, the Republicans insisted that
they led the way toward increases
and that the administration was not
entitled to all of the credit. The time
allotted opponents of the big program
was controlled by Democratic leader
Kitchin, who charged the Democrats
with a sharp change of front.
IF the program passes the Con-
gress and is signed by the President,
this nation will be the greatest mill
tary nation the world has ever seen,"
Kitchin said. And yet they say we
are sane and patriotic"
Republican Leader Mann, advocat-
ing the increase, declared it was or
binary wisdom to prepare for what
we hope will never come"

BRANDEIS UNABLE TO SERVE
Associate Justice of Supreme Court
Declines Presidents Offer of Place
on Mexican Commission

Washington, Aug. 15.-Associate
Justice Louis d. Brandeis of the su-
preme court informed President VIII
son tonight that, because of the mass
of business before the court, he would
be unable to accept the Presidents
designation to serve on the joint COM
mission which will attempt to solve
the difficulties between the United
States and Mexico.
Justice Brandeis conferred. with
the President and Attorney General
Gregory late in the day and the ques-
ton of the Justices accepting was
gone over thoroughly. Later the fol-
lowing letter from Justice Brandeis
to the President was made public at
the White House:
MY Dear Mr.. President appre-
ciate the opportunity for high service
which membership on the Mexican
commission would present But upon
consultation with the chief justice 1
find that the state of the business Of
the supreme court at the present time
to be such that it is my duty not to
undertake this important task"
The giving out of Justice Brandeis'
letter was the first formal annonce-
ment that he had been Offered the
post, although it has been known def
initely that he and Secretary Lane
were two of the three men selected
by them for membership of the COM
mission.
The general understanding had
been that Justice Brandeis and Sec
rotary Lane had accepted places on
the commission, and there have been
intimations that the Justices decision
to withdraw was reached after Chief
Justice White had interposed objec-
tions. There was no official confirma-
ton of that, however, as all of the
concerned have refused to discuss the
subject.

MAY AVERT RAILROAD STRIKE
President Wilson confers With Lead.
ers on Both Sides-Seeking
Basis for Settlement.

Washington, Aug. 15--President
Wilson conferred today with both
parties to the threatened countrywide
railway strike and tonight it appeared
that sufficient foundation had been
laid to furnish a working basis for a
settlement of the differences of the
employees and employers. The Pres
ident will meet both sides again to-
morrow.
At the conclusion of the days con-
ferences, the President issued this
statement:
II have met both sides and have
gone over the case with the utmost
frankness- l shall not be able to
judge until tomorrow whether we have
found feasible basis for settlement"
The foremost questions are what
shall be arbftrated if arbitration is to
be reSorted to and what form of ar
bitration shall be adopted. Represen-
tatives of the employees maintain that
their demand for an eight-hour day
and time and half overtime is the
only concrete proposition under dis
cuSsion. They insisted to the Presi-
dent in their conference today that
the railroads make some definite coun-
ter-propoSal. If the railroads submit
ted some proposed form of settlement,
they said. they would be ready to dis
cuss negotiations further
The employees are understood to be
ready to consent to the principle of
arbitration if the contingent proposals
of the managers, which the men claim
involve rights they have won in thirty
years effort, are eliminated from con-
sideration and if arbitration is con-
Quoted by a board on which all four
brotherhoods are represented.
New York, Aug. IA general
strike on virtually all the railroads of
/ the Nation, paralyZing commerce and
throwing approximately two million
men out of employment, can be avert
ed only through the good offices of
President Wilson.
The final break came late today af-
ter the men had been in secret ses-
sion nearly six hours. Reports differ
as to the reason for the failure of the
negotiations in view of the cheerful
outlook of the night before. The men
asserted they refused to arbitrate be-
cause the railroads insisted on arbi-
trating their contingent proposition"

THE |. w. WIS TRY KIDNAPPING
Seize Two Minnesota Women and q
Child at kinney-Two of the
Gang Caught.

Kinney, Mimi, Aug. 15.-Alleged
members of Industrial Workers of the
World attempted to kidnap Mrs. Ed
ward Emo, wife of a deputy sheriff;
Mrs. Lucy Clark of Virginia, Mimi,
and her 4-year-old son as they stepped
from Mesaba electric car here last
night. One of a quartet of kidnap-
pers struck Mrs. Clark with a club,
according to the police. Another
seized the child and jumped into a
motor car standing beside the road.
Despite her wound, Mrs. Clark and
Mrs Emo broke away and ran scream
ing down the road. They are sisters.
Within five minutes Jesse Palmer,
chief of police, was on the trail Of
the kidnappers with dozen deputies
assisting him. Near the station he
met the Clark baby, screaming with
fear and holding his arms toward his
rescuers. Turning the child over to
a deputy, the chief rushed toward the
ditch out of which the child had
climbed.
The dog which had accompanied
Chief Palmer began barking furiously
at small pile OF brush in the ditch.
There policemen found one of the
men, One other was found short

President Completes Plans for
Settlement of Threatened
Railroad Strike.
PROVIDES FOR AN 8-HOUR DAY
Proposes Also to Appoint Federal
Commission to investigate Other
Problems at Issue.

Washington, Aug. 17.-President
Wilson today completed definite
plan for settlement of the threatened
nationwide railroad strike and will
submit it to Representatives of the
managers and employees tomorrow.
Although administration officials said
negotiations would be continued un-
til peaceful solution was found, the
outcome of the Presidents mediation
is expected to depend largely on the
attitude of the two sides toward the
plan he has drawn up.
For An e-Hour Day.
The proposal framed by the Presi-
dent after conferences with the man
ayers and employees since Monday
morning, proposes that the railways
should concede the 8-hour workday
with an agreement that it will be OBJ
served. Later it probably will be pro-
posed that a federal commission ap-
pointed by the President or created
by congress investigate all problems
that have arisen in the present dis
cussion.
The chief obstacle in the way Of
acceptance of the plan lies in the in
sistence of the railroad managers on
arbitration and their opposition to the
S-hour day and the demand for time
and-a-half for overtime. Whether the
two sides will give in on these points
constituted the chief danger in the
situation tonight.
The men, although RETAINING from
discussing the plan of the President,
said they believed the outlook encour-
aging for settlement.
Depends On Public Opinion.
Tho President is depending largely
on public opinion to force a settle
Rent- Should the present method of
procedure seem about to fail, it was
believed probable today he would take
the public into his confidence.
Discussion of the creation of a fed
eral commission to investigate the
railroad situation conferred largely to-
day around the contention of railroad
officials that such commission
would be able to get at all the facts
and be able to prevent a recurrence
of the present crisis. The President
has taken up with both sides sugges
lions as to the best way to make up
commission that would be satisfac-
tory.
