LONDON. August 2s.-The arrival
in England of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, is an event Of considerable
Importance. the Morning Post says.
"The name Of Gompers." it adds, ''is

failed because American labor was
not included.

William Burton Stuart. six years old,
and Charles Edward Stuart. his fve-
year-old brother. left their home at
22o. 5th street southeast early last
night. Their failure to show up In

much uneasiness.
A search of the southeast section Of

that relatives, could learn was that
the little ones had been seen in front

When midnight came and nothing
further had been legr.ed of the miss

cinot were asked to assist in the
search, and soon police of the entire

Sugar for Preserving
and Canning Will Be
Distributed by Rule

Washington, April 24-Sugar for domes
tic canning and preserving this summer
will be distributed under modified GER
tificate system, by which each consumer
will be required to sign an application
for the amount needed.
Adoption of this plan was announced
tonight by the food administration, with
the explanation that it's purpose is to
make sure that home Gamers may obtain
sufficient sugar to preserve perisha-
Bile fruits. and at the same time, to
place a check upon any who might try
to obtain unrea sonable quantities for
household consumption. 1t is considered
necessary to check consumption chiefly
to guard against temporary shortages
which may result from withdrawal OF
more vessels from the Cuban trade, and
the administration prefers the method
adopted to the card system used in other
countries.

MnOT the least significant impression
II NJ that one carries away with him
q after few minutes chat with the
great chorus leader. Mr.. f. o. Excel.
known from one end of the world to the
other as one of the most popular and
successful of all the big leaders, is his
sense of humor. 1 say this ,advisedly, for
yesterday when L went in to call on him
and renew a most pleasant acquaintance
of several years standing, he referred
to conversation we had enjoyed so
much about a Texas newspaper person
who had described Mr.. Excel as wear
ing hat like cowboys, his hands were
like hams and his signature looked like
a bedsprng" which l thought spoke very
well for the distinguished chorus leaders
sense OF humor because if anybody can
see anything funny in something funny
that has been said about themselves,
think they may be classified way up in
the top row when it comes to humor.
You'd have to see Mr.. Excel, of course,
before you could appreciate this, how
ever; he's so big and so strong and so fit
mentally as we'll as physically and that
signature of hs-honest-to goodness, it
sprawls all over hotel register and
looks for the world just like what the
newspaper person said, "a bedspring."
can just imagine what sort of man that
newspaper person fancied he was going
to meet when he saw that signature on
the register; you know there is a lot in
handwriting which is indicative of char
acter. / knew woman once who asked
another woman's husband if his wife
had received a letter from her The
woman in question wrote terrific hand
and all her friends knew it. The man
replied: Yes, my wife did get something
from you, but she thought it was a piece
OF music" How's that for a description
of bodys chirography?
But let's get back to nice Mr. Excel
and his singing. Honestly, if you went
to a convention where lie was leading the
music and had made up your mind posi-
lively that you wouldn't sing, it didn't
matter what happened that nobody on
earth could make you sing-you d take
if all back and begin to sing your lungs
out once you had the inspiration of that
great big, splendid vital ringing voice
of his lifted in divine harmony and the
great influence of that radiant music
that comes from the soul of the man
who is in tender accord with all that is
ennobling and uplifting

Sam JONES' Mr.. Excel told me, was

Automobile Men Meet With Officials
of Fuel Administration to
Discuss Question

Washington, April 24.-Leading auto
mobile manufacturers of the country met
today with officials of the fuel admins
tration and war industries board, to
agree upon voluntary curtalment of
passenger automobile manufacture,
which probably will total rs per cent
after July /. There already is a 50
per cent curtailment order in effect.
Final action was not taken, owing to
the failure of several manufacturers to
reach the city in time for the meeting
The fuel administration has adopted the
policy of asking at least IS per cent of
any industry whose production is under
consideration for curtailment, to be rep
resented at such conferences and today's
representation was just under the re-
quired percentage. 1t is expected that
within the next day or two a sufficient
representation of the industry will get
together to carry out the programme.

FIGHT AT ST. PAUL

%. Paul MINI, April 4-The feeling
persisted in the Twin Cities tonight that
the proposed championship fight between
Jess Willard and Fred Fulton would
not be held in ST Paul on July 4.
Active opposition from several orsani-
cations whose leaders announced they
would enlist statewide support was tho
chief cause for pessimism in boxing cir
eles 1t was believed this opposition was
responsible for an intimation from the
capito. that the state safety commission
would forbit the fight during the war.
The safety commission today listened
10 arguments for and against the pro-
posed contest and then took the matter
under advisement. No date was set for
a decision. About 100 women clergymen.
