Bulldogs Killed by Pills
Doctors Monkey Stole

Before Hercules drifted off to
slumber in the corner of his cage
few nights ago he made a few re-
marks in simian which his distracted
owner, DIR. Robert MARGIN. said
meant, "fhis is the end of a perfect
day" or words to that effect. Her
cules is a remarkably intelligent
monkey In fact, DR.. MARGIN said
with some bitterness that he is too
intelligent.
The monkey got out Of his cage
one morning last week. He and two
bulldogs, which had been left in the
care of DR.. MARGIN. were. alone in
of pills. He didn't eat them him
self, but tried them on the dogs. The
, results were positive. A few min
utes after the bulldogs had swal-
lowed them both were very dead.
One was worth $500, the other $3.50.
Hercules lost his interest in pills
right there and created q sensation
in the neighborhood by scampering
four blocks and scaling the front of
a residence. He found an open win
dow and entered a room in which
two children were slumbering. He
felt little weary. So he got into
later two screams were dying away
in the distance and Hercules had the
bed all to himself. He continued to
occupy it until a policeman entered
and arrested him.
He was taken home to confront DR..
MARGIN, the emptied pill bottle and

New York Butchers to Aid
in Fight on III, c. !"
Effect of Campaign Being
Felt in Chicago

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Belief
that definite progress is being made
in the governments campaign against
the high cost of living is expressed
by Attorney General Palmer in an
nouncing last night that the depart
ment of justice is meeting with sue
cess in obtaining from shoe manu-
facturers promises as to fixing
maximum price on shoes.
With reports to the department In
dicating that a slight downward
trend in prices already has set in, al
though it is not yet sufficient to be
reflected in spot purchases on the re-
tail markets, Mr.. Palmer declared
that given a fair chance, efforts of
the government to squeeze the inf1a-
ton out Of prices soon will show
substantial results. Expressing sat
isfactton with the success so far at
tanned, the attorney general aid he
believes cumulative results will fol-
low enactment by congress Of amend
ments to the food control law provid-
ing criminal penalties for profiteers
and hoarders.
Efforts of retail merchants to slim
u1ate buying by predicting higher
prices next season on clothing and
other non-perishable articles were
condemned by Mr.. Palmer, who
warned the public not to be STAN
peded by this propaganda into
buying hysteria." Extensive pur-
chasing now, he said would make
such predictions come true.

MEXICAN SUPREME
COURT CROSSES
CARRANZA PARTY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Advices
'cial channels indicate that tho re-
cent activities OF Louis Cabrera.
secretary of the treasury Of Mex
leo, and Schiaffino, head Of the Pc
troleum bureau Of the department
of industry, commerce and labor,
have been for the purpose Of bring
ing back into line the Mexican con-
gress, and members Of the supreme
court, 1t Is indicated, are somewhat
out Of step with the Carranza re-
CINE. This was the Interpretation
Of events by state department Of
ficials when they learned that the
advice to the supreme court by
Cabrera was Of an official charact-
err instead of being ex-officio rs
was at first supposed.
Cabrera urged the supreme court
not to hasten the hearing Of the
Amparo cases, brought before the
court by the American oil compan-
les. The cases are aimed directly
at the presidential DEGREES which
led the United States, British,
Dutch and French governments to
file vigorous protests, because they
were regarded as an effort at con-
fiscation of foreign owned proper
ties. 1t now is apparent. according
to advices from Mexico City, that
there is a definite effort in con-
gress to withdraw from Carrahza
the extraordinary powers in finance
under which he issued the "spoila-'
ton" DEGREES. 1t is pointed out by
anti-Carranza leaders in congress
that the withdrawal Of this power
from the president would prevent a
repetition of legislation by these
executive DEGREES and would ease
the international situation.

Plumb Railroad Plan
Worse Than Socialism,
Declares Senat0r Smith

SAVANNAH, Ca, Aug. 2S.-In re-
ply to letter which he had received
from the Savannah Chamber Of In
dustry, an organization of union
workmen, which had requested him
to support the Plumb plan Of rail-
road operation, United States Sena-
tor Hoke Smith declares the Plumb
plan to be worse than Socialism and
adds that he doesn't believe any one
who has studied the measure would
favor 1t.
From the fact that you urge me
to support the Plumb plan am fore
ed to believe that you have not stud
led or realized the true effect Of this
measure. Railroad employees ought
not to support it. They can not af--
ford to put themselves in the posi-
ton of seeking unfair advantage
over the balance of their fellow citt-
gen." says Senator Smith.

would be unjust for one-eleventh of
the people to take the railroads and

FEDERATION COUNCIL
MEETS AT CAPITAL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Holding
In it's hands the delicate balance OF
the immediate economic and indus
trial future Of the country, the ex-
ecutive council Of the American
Federation of Labor met in extraor-
binary session here today.
Among leaders, drawn here by dis
putes in their trades, or attracted
by the important meeting of the
council, belief was expressed that
presidents Of all various unions af-
filiated with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor might be summoned
before final action is taken on the
big pending problems.
While immediate action is expect
ID on the steel and railroad stu
atoms, they believe the rank and
ale may be consulted before steps
are taken on the broader questions
IF future policy.
The threat Of the strike of thou
sands of employees Of the United
States Steel corporation and the
demands Of the railroad shopmen
will be given first consideration by
the council.
The appeal Of President Wilson
against further wage increases, in
replying to the demands of the shop
men, is a tremendous factor in the
situation. After years of struggle
for recognition by the steel cor
poration, the leaders of the steel
workers are loath to sacrifice their
light to strike just at a time when
appears recognition might be won
The leaders of the shopmen are
confident their men are ready to
strike for the increases demanded
Ind refused. They are not certain.

prices an effort to condemn them
would meet decisions placing their
value at higher figures, but for the
present I will consider them as cost
ing the government eighteen billions
of dollars.
eff the government were to pur-
chase these properties it would be
necessary to sell bonds to raise the
money. You know how difficult it
was to sell Liberty and Victory
bonds. They were bought largely as
the result of patriotism, to conduct
the war. and to settle war liabilities.
The bonds already put upon the mar
a vast expansion of credit. To put
eighteen billion dollars more bonds
upon the market would be most I'M
fortunate. They could not be sold
except at "a very high rate of in
terest, and it is hard to estimate the
injurious effect it would have upon
conditions generally.

The people of this country ge

The people of this country gen. erally are in sympathy with the move ment for increased wages to meet higher living costs. But there is unan- unity in condemning the action of the Boston police in striking and leaving the city at the mercy of thugs. Fire men and policemen are similarly sit uated to soldiers in the front ranks of a battle. Desertion in each in- stance should be punished. The stand of the governor of Massachusetts will be commended generally.
