The City OF the Future
BY MAYO FESlER
Secretary Of the Civic League Of Cleveland, Ohio.

A city, sanitary, convenient, substantial;
where the houses of the rich and the poor are
alike comfortable and beautiful; where the
streets are clean and the sky line is clear as coun-
try air: where the architectural excellence of its
buildings adds beauty and dignity to its streets;
where parks and Fairgrounds are within the
reach of every child; where living is pleasant,
toll honorable and recreation plentiful; where
capital is respected but not worshipped; where
commerce in goods is great but not greater than
the interchange of IDEAS: where industry thrives
and brings prosperity alike to employer and EN-
plOyed; where education and art have n place in
every home; where worth and not wealth give
standing to men; where the power of character
lifts men to leadership; where interest In public
affairs is a test of citizenship and devotion to the
public veal is a badge of honor; where govern
ment is always honest and efficient, and the
principals of democracy find their fullest and
truest expression; where the people of all the
earth can come and be blended into one commu-
nifty life; and where each generation will vie with
the past to transmit TO the next a city greater,
better and more beautiful than the last.

IN CITY CABARET

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Cabarets and the
white lights held a demoralizing tnfiu-
ence upon Benjamin I. Tweed, who
claims that until recently he was post
master at Waverly. Wash. AS re-
suit, according to his story to POST
office Inspector Germer, he borrowed
government funds. Tweed is in Gus
tody here today, having given himself
up last night because he said his con-
science could no longer stand the
strain.
Postal authorities are investigating.
Tweed claims that his peculations at
Waverly have not yet been discovered.
Waverly is a small town where
amusement is scarce, so Tweed. with
a number of other young fellows. got
to making trips to Spokane, twelve
miles distant. These little trips. cost
money and Tweed, according to his
own story, began to take money from
the postoffice. Tweed got about $500.

would not show and came TO Chicago.
He has been here since July IL.

MAKE GOOD ESCAPE
Auto Bandits Who Got Away With
$4,000 Still at Large.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 5.--Search was
being vigorously prosecuted early to-
day in every county surrounding De-
t~oit for the five automobile bandits
who, armed with rifles and automatic
pistols, Yesterday afternoon held up
the motor pay car of the Burroughs
Adding Machine company and made
off with between $4,000 and $4,000.
after shooting and slightly wounding
one man.
Nine automobiles filled with De-
troit policemen and two loaded with
deputy sheriffs in command of Sheriff
Oakman took up the chase short
time after the holdup. At latest re-
ports all were still searching the sur
rounding country except three or four
Officers who returned about midnight
and reported they could go no further
III the search.
Other Car Carried $4,000.
The amount obtained by the BAN
late today was declared by P. G. Chap
man, secretary-treasurer of the Bur-
roughs Adding Machine company, to
have been between $3S,000 and $34.-
600. The car held up carried a sum
said to have been $4,000. A car fol-
Tested.
The condition of Rudolph Cooper. a
Burroughs guard, the one man injured
as a result of the holdup. is said to
he endeavored to engage enc of the
bandits, who jumped onto the running
board of the pay car.
Police Suspect Employees.
With no trace yet found of the
five automobile bandits, the search at
noon today had been extended to all
points within a hundred mile radius of
Detroit. The police declare one of the
theories they are working on is that
the daring holdup was an inside job"
They point to the fact the robbery
was carried out in broad daylight in
crowded street in full view of scores
of persons without a hitch as evidence
that the robbers might have had a
confederate in the Burroughs plant.
Officers of the company, however,
repudiate any intimation that any of
their employees possibly was involved.
Witnesses declare not more than two
minutes were occupied by the rob-
bers in carrying out the holdup and
starting to flee.

DISCLOSE SORDID STORY
Air Bubble Murder Victim Didn't Stay
With Girl Chum One Night.

Olney, Ill. Aug. .5,-One night in
the life of Elizabeth Radcliffe. lair
bubble murder victim, just one week
before her death on lonely coun-
try road near this city, has not been
accounted for.
According to Mrs Bert Fancher, sis
ter of the tragedy victim, Elizabeth
spent, at least the evening of that
night, in company of Roy Hinterliter,
held in the county Jail here awaiting
action of the grand jury on a charge
Of murder.
Mrs. Fancher declares Hinterliter
took the girl out early in the evening
Later she returned saying it was all
OFF, between her and Hinterliter and
that she would spend the evening with
a chum, Miss Carrie Cole.
Came Home at A. NJ.
Miss Cole declares she saw nothing
of Elizabeth on that night. Eliza
beth returned home. Mrs. F'ancher
says, at S o'clock the next morning
dusty and evidently not having slept.
The information given caused the
authorities to place considerable more
credence in the rumor from Charles
several days before the tragedy. The
rumor declares Hinterliter attempted
to hire a physician there to perform
an operation upon the girl. Realizing
that verification of the rumor would
go a long way toward showing Hinter-
liter contemplated an operation, such
rs is. alleged to have caused the girl
death, the authorities are leaving no
stone unturned to run it down.

Oxford students, he pointed out to me
a Belgian duke, a South American OF
high BIRTH and a Pole, all serving for
nothing. Some of these fellows have
been all over the world and intend %
do service at the front or go into the
aviation section. The term of local
service is at least three months, at
the front. six months.
Ban on Newspaper Men.
Newspaper correspondents positive
ly are not admitted to such work il
their connections are known. Wadell
has served short time at the front,
but was compelled to return to the
local service when his parents found
where he was. Like the rest of the
fellows, he is wild to stick at the front.
Allied Advance.
From all 1 can learn at this early
date the present allied advance on the
Somme is going to be the real thing.
between the British and French,
months of careful preparation. steady,
methodical advance, and an enormous
supply of ammunition all along .he
western front. Particularly interest
ing is the fact that the men are al
most held in check.
Already allied troops have been
wounded by their own curtain fire be-
cause they went ahead too far and
too eagerly in advance of orders. The
British in particular are looked Tor
ward to with the greatest interest.
They are now for the first time really
prepared to do something. 1t is said
they have enough ammunition piled
behind their lines to maintain a ter
rifle artillery attack for several weeks.
The allied artillery preparation of
the last week has undoubtedly been the
most thorough of the war. enabling
the French and English to make their
first advances with the least possible
loss of men. Officially Paris awaits
the advance of the allies with calm,
but 1 notice that on the streets people
eagerly snatch for the latest editions
OF the local journals.
I'll let you hear from me from time
to time. I expect to go to England in
August and then back to Lawrence
early in September

CROPS IMPAIR TRADE
Uncertainty Due to Drouth Modifies
Prosperity Wave.

New York, Aug. 5.-Dun's Review
today says:
Exceptionally gratifying report re-
garding trade industry and Transport
tation are somewhat modified by less
favorable news from the agricultural
regions. Yet the reduced crop esti-
mates, while accentuating the ten
dency toward wholesome conserv-
atism, have not raised doubts as to
the maintenance of the forward move
ment in business.
In spite of various drawbacks and
uncertainties, confidence in sustained
economic progress Is undiminished,
the large increase in new enterprises
testifying to strong faith in the future.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of
previous purchases many interests
are disposed to extend comm itments
further, being prompted to cover far
distant needs by fears of a growing
scarcity of supplies and the possibility
that prices may go sti1l higher.
~ Recoveries have occurred in certain
lines that recently showed evidence of
reaction such as in steel and dry goods,
while additional advances appear in
commodities which thus far have
given no signs of yielding.

for 1916, the upturns were not maintained.
Buyers displayed more caution than has

tons that all wheat for fifty miles north

bet at $1.35N to 81. SO and December al 81 40
to 81 .39A were followed by reactions which
carried the market well under yesterdays

Later the market rallied owing to signs
OF buying on the part of the exporters.

been sold to Great Britain. The close was
