To the Lyceum Theater, for three
days commencing Thursday, Sept 81,
will come Richard Walton Tully's spec
tacular drama, 1.-The Flame which
had a successful. engagement in New
York last season. Just as Turn to
the Right" was the big comedy sue
cess of the season, 1.-The Flame was
the one big dramatic sensation of the
year. This enhancing love-play by
the author of "Omar, the Tentmaker"
and "The Bird of Paradise" has not
only set a new standard for lavish
stage adornment, but has proven to
be one of the most novel and en-
chanting dramas seen in years. The
scenes of the play are laid in Mexico,
and the action concerns the career of
young American couple who are
seeking their fortune in the pic
turesque land below our southern
border. Suddenly they become en-
mashed in the turmoils of revolts
and revolutions. Their plantation is
stolen, their gold is confiscated they
themselves are held captive by band

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.-W. E.
Robinson, a Belair. Nd, Gamer, is
heartbroken because the Keating-
Owen child labor law has forced him
to employ men and women instead of
little children. In letter to local
newspaper Mr.. Robinson says:
'Since the first OF September I
have not permitted these boys and
girls to work in my factory. They are
healthful, industrious youngsters, and
the work they have been doing was
very beneficial to them, mentally and
physically. But my heart aches for
them now. Their parents are all at

GOVERNMENT UUYS COAL AT
A LITTLE LESS THAN $500.

Washington, May 14-Whcn con-
tract was signed on Saturday be-
tween representatives Of the govern
ment and of the coal operators i'm
the Pocahontas, New River and Vir-
ginia fields, the agents of Uncle Sam
naval officers said that they had new
Ell closed q contract of such magni-
tude with as little difficulty and that
by this contract, due to the fairness
and patriotism of the operators the
government had saved $5,OO0,0OO
The contract, it is understood, calls
for approximately 100000 tons of
coal, the bulk of which will come
from West Virginia mines. The price
paid by the government is S395 n
ton, which is Il concession on the part
OF the operators TO the government
of considerable, when coal is bringing
in some instances $500 ton. Btu
minous coal in Washington to the
local school government, contracted
price, is $G.9S as against 1884 last
year.
An interesting phase of the con-
tract just completed by the coal OPP
orators with the government is that
among these operators: and the cor
porations with which they are align
ed, are a number who recently were
indicted in New York charged with
violating the antitrust law by at
tempting to fix the price of coal. The
price they are charged by the gov
ernment of setting this year was So
ton which, it will be noted, was
only five cents more than their con-
tract with the government, $2.95.
There are about sixty of these men
under Indictment, thirty of whom
have their residence in West Vir-
ginai, but all doing business there
These cases are set for June 10, in
New York. 1t is the understanding
that their defense will be that they
had no intention of entering into an
agreement to practice cXtortion, nor
of forming monopoly, claiming that
their totallcd production was insult
ficicnt by considerable to constitute
Il monopoly when polled; that if they
agreed not to renew contracts or en-
ter into new ones, for less than SO
a ton. their product was bringing APP
proXimately that price at the time
and very shortly afterwards advanc-
ed considerably beyond that, and has
been advancing right along since.
Another claim upon their part
which isn't legally subStantiated is
that the indictments returned against
them and their companies by Il New
York grand jury, were the result of
conspiracy of competitors in other
coal-producing states. That warfare
among the coal operators the public
is well acquainted with. 1t has been
going on for years. The cause of il
is that West Virginia can mine coal
cheaper than any other state. The
fact that most OF the mines of the
State are not un:onized, while Ohio
Indiana and Illinois and other com
petitivc states are, was another cause
OF the controversy.

BUSINESS MORTALITY IN April

That the new foreign conditions
have not weakened the pos ton of
trade and industry is evidenced by
the continued decline in the business
mortality, fewer failures occurring
in April than in any month back to
June, 1912, with the smallest indebt-
edness since last October. Excluding
banks and other iiduciary SUSPENSIONS
defaults in the United States num-
bered only 1869, or 10 per cent. less
than in March, and involved $12,-
587,2l3, a re per cent. reduction in
the latter. The comparison with a
year ago when there were 1899 in
solvencies for $18,382 ,637. is even
more favorable, and as contrasted
with the high point for the period
April, 1915-thc numerical decrease
is AZ per cent, and the contraction in
amount over 70 per cent. Not in near
ly n decade, in fact, has the number
of April failures been so limited,
while the liabilities are the liehtest
for the month since 1907. When the
steady increase in new enterprises is
considered the exhibit is all the more
gratifying, and demonstrates that

GUS relatively few concerns are meet
ing with reverses.-Dun's Review.

ESPIONAGE BILL
PASSES SENATE
Virtual Redraf.ing of Many of Most
Important Provisions Expected
In Forthcoming Conference.

Washington, May 14.-After nearly
three weeks of debate, ranging over
innumerable problems of the war, the
senate by vote Of seventy-seven to
to six tonight passed the adminstra-
toms espionage bill, pronounced one
of the most drastic and all inclusive
measures in American congressional
history.
A similar bill has passed the house
and virtual redrafting of many of the
most important provisions is expect
ed in the forthcoming conferences.
During today's final consideration
the senate stripped the measure en-
tirely of provisions for newspaper
censorship and restrictions upon man
ufacture of grain into Intoxicating
liquors.; and rejected an amendment
designed to curb speculation in food
products, although sentiment obvious
ly was overwhelming in favor of such
legislation later.
Vigorous efforts to retain provisions
for newspaper censorship and partial
prohibition, together with foodstufrs
conservation during the war culmi-
mated in final votes today in which the
senate voted forth-eigth to thirty-fou

Beneath the old flag with you

Our fathers stood together
And fought on land and s.n
The battle fierce that made us

You licked me at Bull Run;
On many IL field we struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray Of Southland,

Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine in friendly clasp
Our two hearts beat AS one
And now when danger threatens,
No North. no South, we Enow
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
My head like yours is frosty
And age is creeping on;

My day will soon be gone;
But if our country's honor
Needs once again her son
