Violation of Pledge

Chicago, May 3.-Negotiations between
Chicago's striking bakers and the bread

health commissioner, found that grocers
were selling only about two loaves of
bread to each household and -four only
for immediate needs, the maximum sales
being 25 pounds.
"Grocers are careful not to sell in such
quantities as would enable housewives to
hoard four" DR.. Robertson said
Some hope of settlement was ex-
pressed as result of the expected arriv
al of Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation Of Labor, to inquire
into the failure of the strikers to observe
the promise to refrain from strikes dur
ing the war.
A strike of 500 employees of the Al

According to officials of the company.
the men walked out yesterday with 80
minutes notice after demanding 20 per

secretary, said he believed the strike was
brought on by foreign agents and was
placing the matter in the hands of the

MIR. Trowbridge's
Second Courtship
By ETHEL HOLMES

Walter Trowbridge kissed his wife
goodby, went out to a cab and was
driven for the station. He was of on
q business trip, to be absent several
weeks. A few days after his departure.
while sitting at breakfast in his hotel.
he took UP paper and read the follow

me-" When asked who Dan was, she said
he was her husband. The house surgeon
says that this is case Of amnesia- The
woman has not been herseif-Mrs. Daniel
Lee, she says--for ten years.
Mr.. Trowbridge's eyes started from
their sockets as he read. When he
finished the item he threw the paper
on the floor and began the hardest Job
of thinking he had ever done In his
life.
Some seven or eight years before he
had married his typewriter, Mildred
Stevens. He asked no questions about
her antecedents, and she offered no

building was being erected-something
had fallen upon her-and from that
moment she remembered nothing of
her past She set about making a liv-
ing. taking a position In an Office and
studying stenography. Several years
later brought her into Trowbridge's
employ, and after six months he had
married her.
Returning to his home-he missed
his wife's greeting-he sailed forth to
the hospital and asked to see Mrs. Lee.
She had much improved from her In
juries and Trowbridge was admitted
to her presence.
She looked at him wondering who he
was and why he had called on her.

PROFESSORS DEFENSE
ON "UNWRITTEN LAW"
Charles E. Vawter Insists That the Honor
of Virginia Home Is Still
Sacred.

Christiansburg, a., May 3.--"Unwritten
law will be relied on by Prof. Charles
l9. Vawter OF Virginia. Polytechnic insti.

The others are:
Heth was shot three times and mortal

4. m. March 10.
Nawter teephoned a hospital that
lIeth had been shot and needed inimedi-

Physicians found Heth fatally wound
ed, clad only in his night clothes.
Heth in deathbed statement said he
had been shot by Nawter, 'who didn't
have leg to stand on"
tleth was frequently an overnight
guest at&thc Nawter home.
But what occurred that night in the
professors home is known only to three
persons, Prof. Nawter, his wife and Ber-
nard Williams, a student roomer They
have refused absolutely to say word
about the killing.
But a statement issued by the defense
after Heth's deathbed statement left no
doubt as to Nawter's plea.
Evidence will disclose betrayal of

counsel. The day has not come when

American Sunday School Union Puts Over
Philadelphia Celebration.

II is announced by the board OF officers
and managers of the American Sunday
School union that the central celebration
of the Tooth anniversary of organized
Sunday school work in America has been
indefinitely postponed. During the days
of trial through which our country is

TO draw the missionaries and workers of
this society from their fields of labor to
attend the week of anniversary exercises
in Philadelphia as originally planned,
particularly at time when special min
istry will be called for both to those en-
gagged in the conflict and TO those in the
homes, where the wars effects will also
be felt. Plans for special service along
this line are already under way. one fea-
ture of which is TO provide our soldier
and sailor boys with wholesome litera-
ture.

they were amazed to see the strange

living across the street gave an account
of man named Lee, whose wife had
I mysteriously disappeared. having lived
! there and who had died long ago.
| Trowbridge followed the matter up so
| far as to make certain of Mr.. Lees
\ death. then returned to break the sad
/ news to Mrs. Lee He did 1t so kindly
that the lady was quite charmed
When Trowbridge left her she re-
marked to one Of the nurses that the
gentleman was unusually nice. The
nurse repeated the compliment to Trow-
bridge and he was much encouraged.
What bothered him was how TO To-
cate the lady while he was doing some
counting. He couldn't shock her by
asking her to come to live with him,
and If she married him he desired that
she should wish to do so. He told the
hospital authorities the conditions and
his intentions. and they agreed to keep
her there so long as possible. Fortu-
nately for his plan she did not become
well enough to be discharged for a cou-
pie of weeks, and the house surgeon re-
fused to discharge her then, Mr.. Trow-
bridge paying for her keep till his
plans were matured.
Trowbridge did not delay beginning
his courtship. His first offering was
flowers. and these he kept sending as
fast as they withered. He found 1t
hard to talk sentimentally to a woman
with whom he had lived long enough
for the heyday of love to have worn
away. but he did his best. That he
succeeded was evident from the pleas
ure Mrs. Lee showed In his attentions
and her distress when he absented him
self.
At last when there seemed to be no
excuse for keeping the patient longer
In the hospital Trowbridge proposed
to her. She was glad enough TO accept
him. for she knew that she must soon
be turned out TO shift for herself, and
the prospect was a gloomy one.
