The receiver OF the Missouri Pacific. Mr..
Bush, explains for us why his road charges only
"a cents a mile for through passengers and
exaets 8 cents a mile on travel between inter-
state points. From the railroads standpoint,
the explanation is very clear but could be boiled
down into this: that the Interstate Commerce
commission won't let the road charge more than
"a cents, while the federal court was persuaded
TO believe that II would lose money II it did not
get cents. and the road is doing its best to
conform 10 both mandates.

BOARD, WINS IN COURT
 BUYS MORE LAND
Amended Complaint Alleges E Commissioner Burket Of-
 fered More Than Asked.

Little Rock, Aug. 21.-R. R. Nc 1ntosh's petition for an order restrain ing the penitentiary commission from purchasing 1,340 acres of land in Jeff ferson county from the Missouri Life Insurance company to be added to the penal farm at Tucker was dismissed today by Chancellor Martineau, who held that the act under which the com mission proceeded authorized the purchase of the land, and that body could secure any tract providing no more than 5000 acres were purchased.
 The board then completed the trans action with the life insurance com pany, paying $57,000 for 1,425 acres.
 After the filing of an amended complaint, demurrer was filed by Wallace Davis, attorney general. MT. Davis demurrer was sustained by Chancellor Martineau, who then dis missed the suit.
 Charges Against Burkett.
 The amended complain contained an arraignment of John T. Burkett, secretary of the penitentiary com mission. It was charged that MT. Burkett, at various meetings of the penitentiary commission early in the year, voted to pay sums ranging from $15,OOO to $75,0OO in excess of the amounts asked for various farms. MT. Burkett at noon Monday said he prob ably would ignore the charges, which apparently were of "political origin"
 On the T. l.. Daniels farm near Palarm, MT. Burkett voted to pay $5O,OOO more than MT. Daniels asked, the complaint declared; on the N. B. Beakley farm near England, $75,000 more than was asked; on the M. W. Gueson farm near Prescott, $50.000 more than was asked. and on the s. L. Kay farm in Pulaski county, $15,0OO more than was asked.
 MT. Burkett failed to "put through" these deals, the complaint averred, because of the opposition of John V. Ferguson. a former member of the board. MT. Ferguson resigned from the commission after charges were made against him by Gov. George w. Hays.
 MT. Burkett said that he would an- swer to the legislature for his acts concerning the purchase of new farm, but that if MT. Mcintosh de- sired he could take the graft charges into the criminal courts.

GULF STORM TOLL 13.

Corpus Christi, Aug. 21.-No fur ther reports of loss of life from Fri day nights tropical storm, which did severe damage in this section, had been received to 10 o'clock today, and it was believed that the death list would stand at 13, and the property damage at about $2,000,000. No di- rect communication had been estab- lished between here and Aransas Pass or Port Aransas this morning. How ever, wireless sent out early this morning by the coast guard cutter Co: manche off Port Aransas said food conditions there were bad, and that relief contributions would be grate- fully accepted Just how bad condi- tions were there could not be ascer- tained.
 Telegraph and telephone communi- cation out of Corpus Christi has not been restored to normal status, ana the city spent another night without electricity. Brownsville was also isolated by telegraphic channels.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE UNION WORKING

Senator Thomas Says Con- gressional Union Raising

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Con- gresslOnal union for Woman Suffrage was charged with being interested chiefly in restoring the Republican party to power by Senator Thomas of Colorado, chairman of the woman suf frage committee, today on the floor of the senate.
 The Colorado senator, who favors the submission of federal suffrage amendment. declared that the union was engaged in raising funds for the Hughes campaign, and had been in- strumental in having the nominee de- clare in favor of the amendment in opposition to the Republican plat form. MT. Hughes, he said, had seiz- ed upon suffrage as an issue because the Republican party had given him no issue for the campaign.
 Senator Borah of Idaho, Republi- can, who is opposed to the federal suffrage amendment, declared that MT. Hughes action in declaring for the amendment would not strengthen him with the Republican party "one particle"

 STREET CAR MEN
Chattanooga Police and Bremen Disperse Rioters
 with Guns and Water.

Chattanooga, Aug. 21.-Police, armed with riot guns, and firemen playing streams of water in the crowd quelled rioting which broke out in the business district tonight, when, in an effort to organize a strike of street car employees, attempts were made to force non-union men of the Chat tanooga Railway and Light company to leave their cars.
 About 50 men were arrested. A few windows were broken during the disorder, but no one was seriously in- jured.
 The police say that IF strikers and about 50 sympathizers, led by an or ganizer of the Amalagamated Asso- citation of Street and Electric Railway employees, made up the crowd in the efforts to force non-union men to leave the cars.
 The disorder followed the refusal of the street railway officials to accede to demands for recognition of the union.

ROUMANIA TO ACT.
Reports Current Again That She Will
 Join Entente Allies.

London, Aug. 21.-The opening of the allied offensive at Salonika has been the signal for renewed reports that Roumania is at last about to throw in her lot with the entente allies.
 Thsse reports are more circumstan- tial than before, and German press comments indicate that they are far from being devoid of foundation. One Berlin paper declares that Roumanla already has joined the allies and that plans are being made for marching or Russian armies through Roumanlan territory.
 The entry of Roumaaia into the war on the side of the entente would mean the forging of another link III the chain of forces surrounding the central powers. The material. ala which Roumania could give would De of an important character. She has had between 600,000 and 70O,O0o mobilized for nearly a year and her army is reported to be one of the best equipped and trained in Europe.

THIRTEEN DEAD
 IN GULF STORM
{ Associated prpS. SummarVl

Associated Press Summary
 The great offensive opened by the allies Sunday on the Salonika front is developing but no decisive action has been fought.
 The British and French, advancing on the right, have crossed the Surma. pushing northwestward toward the Bulgarian frontier, At the same time, the Serbs have opened a drive from Monastir, to force the capture of the Bulgarian first line trenches on the extreme left, immediately south of Monastir. In the center, at the mouth of the valley of the Vardar, the main highway through Serva, violent artillery bombardment is progressing. It was down this valley that the TeutonB Bulgarian forces made their victorious advance and according to military experts, it's possession is vital to whoever holds Serbia
 Reports from Salonika say that Italian troops have landed there and will join in the general offensive This, if corroborated, means that Italy has finally formally declared war on Germany, as the Germans are ad- CNllhS llC CoIl- paign. ..-t
 At point on the front, Berlin re- ports the Bulgarians on the offensive, but London and Paris interpreted this as move for diversion only, and not as serious attack against Salonika.
 The desire to effect public opinion in Roumania and influence the ap- preaching Greek elections is the mo- tive, in the opinion of the allied capi- tals.
 Fierce lighting continues in the region of the Stokhod. on the Eastern front where the Russian advance menaces Kovel, and the German salient at Pinsk The battle on the crest of the Carpathians also rages, both sides claiming minor successes.
 On the western front, there has been no material change in the situa tion since the allies started their great attack Friday.
 German counter attacks at several points on the British line met with no success according to advices to Lon don. The Germans also have made a powerful effort to recapture Fluery, in the Verdun S ctor, but Paris rc- ports a complete repulse.
 Unofficial reports that Portugal was about to take an active share ia the Europen battlefields apparently are confirmed by the circumstance that a British-French military commission has been sent to Lisbon. Dispatches from Portugal had described military ] of extensive character. There has been nothing to indicate the number of men under arms.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The national guard will be retained on the Mexican border until it can be withdrawn without again allowing of danger to American lives and property.
 Secretary Baker so declared the ad- ministration's policy, in answering letters from many parts of the coun- try, complaining that state troops were being held in service after the emergency for which they were called eral, the complainants alleged that border service was entailing financial loss to militiamen and hardship on their families.
 By it's presence on the border. the secretary wrote to one complainant, the guard is winning bloodless vic- tories daily" He declared that American residents on the interna- tional line were enjoying peace and security they could not know without the military 'forcGs to protect them.
 The department appreciates, says another letter. the fact that call for military service will inevitably pre- sent cases of hardship"
 Referring to the elaborate and ex- tensive training the men are recelv- ing under supervision of army off, cers, he expressed the opinion that it would fit them to act in time of war Or other emergency as a supporting arm or second line for the regular army, furnishing an asset to national preparedness that could not have been obtained otherwise.

NFANTILE PARALYSIS

A startling proof that flies bred in
open manure piles caused Philadelphia 8
plague of the dread infantile paralysis
1t has been discovered that the most
cases were found in the neighborhood
of stables with uncovered manure piles.
The city wards having the most stables
in every instance had the greatest num-
ber of children stricken!
This is confirmation of the theory of
the famous expert DIR. Simon Flexner,
of the Rockefeller Institute, Chicago,
that flies were the. chief agency in
spreading this awful scourge of child
hood-infantile paralysis.
Thus, in the SD ward with 4O4
stables, there were SO cases with 19
deaths-many more than in any other
Now what is our own Board going to
do about the matter? Protect the
manure piles or the babies? Now is the
time to pass that ordinance, and give
ample time to stable owners to cover
the dangerous manure piles before the
next crop of disease carrying flies is
born in them.

Electrified Farming

The Pennsylvania State College of
Agriculture has been doing some ex-
tensive work in demonstrating the ad-
vantages of electricity on the farm. AS
a result over 125 farmers in Lancaster
county are taking electrical service from
central stations of different electrical
companies which crogs the country. One
OF these companies has installed a special
department to look after farm business
under the direction of a demonstrator
from the college. Electricity is used on
these farms to plow, harvest, cut grass,
thresh, cut up food for stock, haul grain
from the field, milk cows, pump water
and for many other purposes including
the family washing and similar domestic
tasks.
