NEWSPAPERS ARE TO
PRINT FEWER PAGES
IN PHILADELPHIA
Joint Action Taken as Result of
Growing Scarcity Of
Paper.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-As a
result OF a series of meetings of the
newspaper publishers Of Philadelphia,
called to consider the serious situa-
ton confronting them caused by what
are virtually famine conditions in the
news print paper market, the follow
ing agreement was unanimously
reached.
All daily evening and Sunday news
papers will Immediately reduce the
size Of their issues to the extent of
total in excess Of eighty pages week
ly.
That beginning September |, next
the accepting from wholesale pur-
chasers Of wsold copies Of all morn
ing, evening and Sunday newspapers
will be discontinued. Heretofore this
privilege has been granted to news
boys. news agents, newsstands and
carriers.
At this meeting of publishers facts
and figures we're submitted showing
that the mills have been unable to sup
ply the enormous increased demand
for white paper. Not only have the
mills been unable to lay in a reserve
stock during the summer months, as
in former years, but they are at the
present time below their normal sup
ply.
So serious has the situation become
that It was pointed out that, unless
drastic reduction of consumption was
enforced, some newspapers through
out the country would be confronted
with possible suspension Of publica-
ton. Many prominent dailies through
out the state Of Pennsylvania have no.
titled the Philadelphia publishers that
they will follow their lead in reduc-
ing the size Of output and in cutting
off return Of unsold copies.
The newspapers party to the fore
going agreement, and which constitute
the entire local press of recognized
circulation, are as follows:
Evening Ledger
Public Ledger.
The Evening Bulletin.
The Evening Telegraph.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Rather than
let his divorced wife, Mrs, Eta Ham
ilton Morris, see their 15-year-old
daughter, Marporie, for one hour on
July 5, Edwin Z. Martin, head Of the
firm OF G. w. Martin and Company
and a director in Austin, Nichols and
Company sold his house at White
Plains, his autos and horses, aban-
doned his varied business interests
and disappeared, according to state
mant made to Justice Crane In Brook
Ign yesterday by Martins counsel
Franklin Taylor
The matter came up on motion to
punish Martin for contempt in failing
to obey an order signed by Justice

others Zone professional ball play

Mrs. Morris, now the wife Of Frank

IS GOOD
AS GARDEN COP
No Longer Dare the Chickens
Raid Mrs. RathmiIFS
Vegetable Patch.

SOMERSET, Pa, Aug. ia. R.
Rathmill, retired druggist, who lives
on a far mnear Somerheld, has a nov
ell policeman to keep the chickens out
OF his garden.
Last winter Rathmill set a trap for
muskrats. An inquisitive squirrel
went into the trap and down swooped
an immense hawk TO eat the unfortu-
nate animal. 1t, too, was caught in
the trap and It has since been in
captivity.
The hawk was not seriously injured
and on being taken to the Rathmill
home where It was fed and kindly
treated it soon became tame. The
proud bird never attempts to use his
talons on members of the family. Mrs.
Rathmill has made q great pet of this
hawk, and as long as 1t is furnished
plenty OF fresh meat it seems happy
and contented in its confinement 1t
is prevented from flying away by a
small chain attached to one Of its
legs and fastened to a post.
Recently chickens invaded Mrs.
Rathmill's garden and threatened to
destroy her vegetables. Then a bright
idea occurred to her. She staked the
hawk in the garden. After that not a
chicken, not even a brave old rooster,
set foot in the place. ' F''

Daring Of Bandit Band Com.
pIeteIy Fools Hundreds of
Spectators.

The city Of Detroit, Mich, is full Of
wise ones" They knew fake
movie robbery when they saw it. So
when five unmasked men, armed with
revolvers and rifles, dashed after an
automobile containing the pay OF the
Burroughs Adding Machine Company,
amounting to $4,000, shot one Of the
guards, stole the money and escaped
in car, the crowd OF 500 people, in
GLIDING half dozen husky iiremen,
looked on in amusement and applaud
ed the success Of the exhibition. No
body could fool them. Even the lone
guard who shouted warning, called
loudly for help and then fell with a
bullet through his hip was laughed at.
1t was a great joke on the few who
thought the robbery was the real
thing.
Daring Made It Success.
The daring of the automobile ban
dts was uncqualed in the police his
tory of the country, because Of the
large number OF spectators, and il
was the sheer nerve" Of the act that
made the robbery succeed. Driving a
small car alongside the pay car, the
bandits lcvcled revolvers at the Bur-
roughs guards, three in number and
n chauffeur and uttered just two
words:
Hands up" they shouted.
The chauffeur Of the pay car
stopped and up went eight hands. The
crowds that lined the streets smiled.
Thus far the movie" had proceeded
without hitch. Then one Of the
young robbers leaped to the Packard
running board, leaned over the door
to the back seat. In an instant he
tossed five bags of money to his COM
panions. Incidentally he overlooked
one containing $4,000, but the $4,000
he secured was sufficient to make the
moving picture a success. The inter-
est of the crowd increased as the rob-
Der leaped back to the smaller car
and it scootcd away.
Just One Man Fought Back.
Rudolph Cooper, one Of the Bur
roughs guards, dashed up the street
shouting for help, and ran past a
group Of fremen sitting in front Of
their station. They laughed at him
refusing to take part in such lurid
"movie." It is said that Cooper
drew his revolver and the driver OF
the bandit car deliberately tried to
run him down. Cooper lodged, but
the agile robber leaped to the run
ming board and shot the guard in the
hip just as the latter leaped to avoid
being run down. Then, without stop
ping the automobile, the young bandit
leaned far out and struck Cooper on
the head with the butt Of his revol-
yer.
AS the car flew out Of sight the fire
men and the crowd realized for the
first time that it wasn't scenario that

The Naval Consulting Board, Of
which Thomas A. Edison is chairman,
met yesterday in the Engineering So
cieties' Building, % West Thirty-ninth

port. II deals almost solely with the
aeronautic side Of preparedness.
The subcommittee on compasses, OF
which Elmer 4. Sperry, inventor Of
the Sperry gyrOscOpe. is chairman, re-
ported on the development OF aerial
housekeeping as demonstrated by the
war ir Europe. Complete data from
various fronts is IN possession Of the
committee. European methods are be-
ing studied and the best Of them clas-
sihed and put into shape for the use
OF American aiTmen.
Some of these methods are crude

vanced 10 a high degree Of perfec-
tion and efficiency. As the result o.
experiments. 10 has been determined
Il { the gyroscope may perform very
important part in bOmb-droppine."
The subcommittee has found the or
