GOVERNOR NAMES
 NEXT MONDAY AS
 "PATRIOTIC" DAY
Urges All Citizens To Pay ; Tribute To Men About To Enter Army.

Governor Charles H. Brough has is- sued proclamation designating Mon day, September as Patriotic Day" as well as Labor Day. He calls upon all citizens to observe the day in honor of the drafted men, who must begin re- porting for duty on September 4. :, It is asked that all participate in the celebration of the day, that all business houses be closed, land that all the citizenship of the respective communities be present to wish the boys safety, victory and honor, and pay just tribute to the great services rendered the American public by labor, which, together with capital, has built noble edifice of economic fact, reared by human toll and held firmly in place by the average pros- perity of all who have had part in it's building"
 Governor Brough arraigns the com- mon enemy as great military au- tocracy, which has shamelessly vio- lated treaties, ruthlessly devastated Belgium, Poland and Armenia, mas- sacred women and children, conduct ed nefarious submarine policy which is worse than the devil carrying a dirk in the dark, jeopardized the free- dom of the high seas, and menaced the cause of liberty and democracy every where"

Houston, Tex, Aug. 29.-Mounted Officer Lee Sparks, who testified that he struck two of the negro soldiers one of them Corporal Baltimore-with his pistol last Thursday afternoon few hours before the riot, was one of the principal witnesses to take the stand in the enquiry being con ducted by board of citizens as rep resentatives of the municipality into the riot which cost IF lives.
 It was this clash between the police and negro soldiers that caused a ru- nor to reach the negro camp that Corporal Baltimore had been killed by a policeman.
 Officer Sparks told the board that with his revolver and that Corporal Baltimore was struck once by him. When Baltimore started to run, a shot was fired into the ground to halt him.

SAYS PAPERS
 ARE UNJOST TO HIM,
Declares He Was Pitilessly Attacked While Using His Influence Against
 Unjust Taxation.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee interrupted the war tax debate in the senate today with q speech. He denied he ever had . thought of introdGcing g peace reso- lution, ~aRds criticised newspapers for presurfing such a motive, because he recently submitted letter on peace from Amos Pinchot and others of an alleged pacifist organization.
 Senate Stone said he had been vto- lently attacked in the papers and pic- tured as a "slacker," German sym- pathiser" and a German spy"
 The charge that he is German sympathizer was said by Senator Stone to be "too ludicrous for specific denial" He said he had not drop of German blood and that his immediate ancestry is clearer than the British kings.
 While this pitiless storm of editor ial mendacity was beating upon mo- said the senator, tsI was using my 1n- fluence on the finance committee to prevent what considered uniust tax ation Q: publications"

 The senate made changes in the bill which including the almost doub- Jed levy on war profits proposed by the committee, would bring its total levy to $2,522 ,470000.
 Provisions for a , per cent. special income tax on publishers. to raise $7 ,300000. was stricken out without roll call.

 thropist in the best sense" His act
 i've carer comprised not only the ad-
 ministration of Rhodesia and repre-
 sentation of the British government

The restoration of the pic. ture was announced by Earl Grey at q banquet rendered to him in~ New York while he was governor-general of Canada. In making the announce ment he said he believed there were higher laws than the laws of posses sion.
 Born November 2S, 1851, Alfred Henry George, the fourth Earl Grey, was educated at Trinity college, Cam bridge. He married in 1877 Alice Holford, of Westonbirt, England. Two daughters, Lady Evelyn Grey and( Lady Sybil Grey were the result Of the union.

Delay Bonds Measure.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Passage of the s11, 1,53S S,945,46O war bond and cer- tificates bill by the house before next Tuesday or Wednesday was despaired of tonight by administration leaders, after day of little progress in the ways and means committee.
 Secretary 'McAdoo again was ques- tioned for several hours about the general fiscal relations of the United States and her allies by Republicans of the committee. who later began a fight to limit the secretary's author ity in selling foreign bonds taken in exchange for loans from this country.
 Debate on the question will be re- stunned tomorrow. The Republicans insist there will be no assurance that this government will receive dollar for dollar for it's loans, unless the authority to sell foreign bonds below par is restricted.

 OVER OPPOSITION
Ways and Means Committee Makes Little Progress With Great Bonds and Certificates Bill. Through
 Opposition of Republicans.

Washington, Aug. 29-The admins tfatlon soldiers and sailors insur- ance bill, designed as a substitute in the future for the present pension system, was favorably reported to- day by house committee.
 Representative Parker Of New Jer- sey cast the only vote against the measure. He was opposed to the op- tlonal insurance feature, expressins the view advanced by private insur- ance companies that it would cost a tremendous sum of money and could not be administered fairly
 The principal change made in the bill by the committee was the reduc- tion of the minimum amount of op- tional insurance a man may take. from the $10,OO0 to s5,OO0. Another amendment adopted provides that the allowance of a widow shall auto matically cease upon remarriage.
 Chairman Adamkon said tonight the bill will be reported tomorrow and possibly will be passed by the house this week. He is confident of passage, but anticipates strenuous opposition to it from the insurance companies and from the pension com mittees of both houses.
 The optional insurance section of the bill around which the bitterest fight will be waged, contemplates the issuance to officers and men, without restrictions, of policies ranging from $1,000 to $5,0O0, for the duration of the war only, at an estimated cost of $8 per $1,000 to the policy holders. Insurance companies recently are said to have declined to assume such war risks for less than $5S per $1,OOO.
