their own proclamations declare no persons have a right to.
 The larger party were the victors The four members of the smaller band were all left dead in tn street. When on the following morning the death carts made their rounds to gather up the victims of the night, pocket of one of the bandits was found to have been overlooked by the triumphant murderers; in 1t was found further 10000 roubles.
 Life became ever of lighter value. The brutality of assa ssination increas- ed daily. There lived few houses further down the street in which 1 had my quarters the young wife and little son of junior officer, absent at the time in Petrograd. She went one day to draw her allowance. which amounted to only a few pounds. Small as the sum was 1t aroused the cupid1ty of a few watchful Bolshe- viks. On the following morning her apartment was found footed, and she and her boy both dead in bed, pierced through and through with thrusts from bayonets.
 Women shoppers Shot.
 In the same street, the Kenatnays, another ghastly affair came to my notice.
 ohc ILL dpOuC eleNen-lHlT- ty two quietly dressed ladies were standing at the corner of the street waiting for the tramcar. A party of Bolsheviks approached and noticed them as members of the persecuted "Bourjouy' class. Without the for mality of any arrest or mockery of a trial-indeed there was no charge possible against the two women set ting forth to the town to make some purchases-both were shot dead on the pavement at the street corner. It is a return of this wanton brut- a1fty and reign of terror which awaits those harassed and luckless citizens who find themselves once again in the clutches of the Red Army. Odessa has fallen. and Soviet Russia thrills
 with triumph at the defeat of the Allies. The effect on the armies of Depiken and Kotohak will be imme- diate- The anti-Bolshevfsts Allies of the Entente will be awakened. weak ened and disheartened. God help those who fall into the power of Lenine's arms. for a mortal blow has been struck at the prestige of the Entente in the home of Bolshevism.

THE NEW YORK
 STOCK EXCHANGE

The New York Stock Exchange had its beginnings 127 years ago today, May IT, 1792, when 24 firms and in- dividuals, engaged in dealing in stocks in New York, entered into an agree ment to deal with each other and boycott the public auctions of stocks and securities, and to maintain a cer tain commission. The brokers carried on business in what was then known as the New York Stock and Exchange Board" and the system was very suc- cessful. Twenty-Five years later. in 1877, they effected a more formal or ganization and adopted a constitu ton. The original was changed in 1863 to the New York Stock Ex- chaUe.
 Until 1868 membership in the ex- change was secured in payment of an initiation fee of s3,0oo. In the year mentioned this provision was abolish ed. and the stock exchange seats be- came subject to purchase and sale. The highest price paid for a seat up to 1878 was ss.00O. After that the price of a place among the financial mighty began to soar. It reached s32,o00 in 1882 and s34,oo0 in 1885. Then there was slump in the quo- tations for a period of years, but in 1899 new upward trend was inaugu- rated, and it reached $95,000 in 1905 and 1906. This price constitutes the record. The highest price paid in 1914 before the exchange was closed. on account of the war, was $55,000! But the cost of doing business on the Exchange has again risen, and a few weeks ago a seat was sold for 7s,000.
 When the parent anization of the New York Stock Exchange was formed in 1792, New York had a pop ulation of only about 30,000, and the brokers of that period usually carried on their business as side line. The following financial advertisement is indicative of the versatility of the brokers of the infant metropolis of the newborn republic.
 Archibald Blair has a brokers office and commission store at 16 Lit tie Queen street where he buys and sells all kinds of public and state se- curities. also old Continental money. He has for sale Jamaica rum, loaf sugar, bar iron, lumber and dry goods"
 In the early days of the exchange the attendance of brokers was com pulsory, unless i'll or out of the city, and those who failed to fulfill their duty in this regard were fined six cents for each day they were absent when stocks were called.

New York, May 1.-The successful ocean flight of the American naval seaplanes. which were reported to have traversed two-thirds of the 1,3o0-mile cruise to the Azores when Secretary of the Navy Daniels, re- turning from Europe stepped ashore from the transport Mount Vernon to- day. was attributed by the Secretary to painstaking work in preparation for the undertaking.
 There Is so such thing as navy luck, ." said MT. Daniels when one of the party which greeted him at the pier used the phrase in commenting on the progress of the NC squadron
 We have been working up to this flight for two years" he continued, ."a:nd as in other projects within its sphere of activities. what the navy has done was due to a perfect system of operation"
 Secretary Daniels expressed con- hdence in Commander John H. Tow CTS and his associate aviators, saying that their work had fully justified their appointments. He commended also the courage of the fliers.
 The secretary stated that he had made it known in Great Britain that the American transatlantic flight was not intended as 8 competition with the efforts of the British aNia- tors Its object, he said. was to con- tribute toward the charting of the air course from America to Europe.

SENATE ADOPTS 'ACCIE' MEASURE
 OF 34 MILLIONS
No Effort Made To Restore Daylight Saving Repeal
 Rider.

Washington, July 23.-The senate late today passed the $34,O0OO 900
 agricultural appropriation bill, which recently was vetoed by President Wilson, because of the rider for re-
 peal of the daylight saving law. No effort to restore the rider was made
 in the senate.
 Senators made no criticism of the
 presidents veto, and the only refer ence to the daylight saving question was an announcement by Chairman Gronna of the agriculture committed of the veto, and the reiterated re-
 fusal of the house to override it. The bill will be returned to the house tomorrow with a single minor
 committee amendment approved to- day by the senate, providing relief
 for Western drouth sufferers by sus- pending their homestead residence re-
 quirements. The house may concur 1 immediately in this amendment or
 send the bill to conference, but the
 measures enactment before adjourn
 ment tomorrow is believed assured Because of universal desire to pro- wide funds in the bill for the depart iinent of agriculture's many activities and salaries held up since July 1, senate discussion of the bill was brief.
 Western senators particularly urged |all possible haste to provide funds
 for the forestry service in fighting
 forest fires.

 Marry French Girls

Washington, July 23.-Special regi- ments, composed largely but not en- tirely of married men, probably will result from the dar department policy announced today regarding the dis position of regulars who are return ing to this country with French wives. Orders have been sent to commanding officers of debarkation ports to trans fer such men and their wives to either Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.. Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, or Fort Myer, Va, when they belong to the cavalry, and to Madison Barracks, N. Y., in the case of infantrymen.
 The regimental commander in each instance has been instructed to pro- vide facilities which will enable the soldier to take care of his new respon- abilities.
 Official estimates are that 10000 American soldiers married foreign brides.

 Shortly before 9 o'clock tonight two military prisoners tried to es- cape. They got outside the main prison enclosure through tunnel and when they refused to stop running, guards fired on them.
