The Strike As Conspiracy.
(NeW York Worldly

The sudden end of the Interborough strike does not relieve District Attor- ney SWann of the plain duty of in qulry. into it's causes and meaning.
 It has beer charged that what seemed a strike waa in effect and in fact a conspiracy between the Inter- borough company and it's employees to gain ends desired by both at the cost of the public purse. It bore all the earmarks of such cooperation, the men demanding a 50 per cent in crease i'll pay, the company an Scent fare.
 There were moments when strike leaders heightened the presumption.

ing news, this. We had, when es- timating our living expenses for the coming twelve months, made a liberal allotment for new shoes. We have been led to do so by the publicity of someone. We saw the announcements.
 Can it be that the announcement of yesterday is by way of presa ging a campaign on the part of dealers to keep down prices? Does this action of the shoe dealers mean that a re- ply houses is under way and that the propaganda of recent days is past?
 We strongly suspect that it has been the policy of profiteers to pre- dict great shortage of some par ticular product in such a way as it might best reach the public eye, through the newspapers. Humanity. expecting the shortage and anticipat- ing higher prices has rushed to buy, at the present price more than it has need for. Thus the shortage comes
 
 as the individual. even though he has suppl. on hand, buys more count Ing on still higher prices. Most of us are laying up, for the future, more spending nobly to the propaganda spread by certain interests.
 1ou reader, confess to us how many pairs of! shoes you have in stock. Tell us what you are saving, for rainy day in the clothes closet. We will risk our journalistic reputa- ton, which is all we have to risk, that you have some more than vou will need for several months at least. Now, why have you those shoes? Because you saw, "by the papers, that shoes were going up skyhigh this winter. Your action has increased the price and made surer the shortage. When you bought more than you needed you did this.
 You will ask us why we fooled you. why we said that prices were going up II they were not. That is fair question. We thought they were There was no reason to suppose other wise. Producers of shoes had said so. We print the news and had to take their word for it. That is why we told you. Even now we venture that many things will see a higher cost this winter.
 But there is an effort to exploit the public through the medium of the press by such schemes as have been outlined. However, the action of the Retailers seems to indicate that there is to be an about face on similar procedure. The truth is to be told in the future. Possibly government inquiries has brought us to this state of affairs. Possibly there will be no more intent to defraud when short age is predicted. We hope not.

SKETCH OF PREHISTORIC MAN
Early Painting Proves That Thousands
Of Centuries Ago Humanity
Walked on Four Feet.

The Paris Figaro gives nn account
OF recent remarkable discovery OF
paintings in prehistoric cave 'of
South France. In particular, sketch
has been found of man who went
on all tours and possessed a tail. The
account runs, In part:
Count Begouen and his sons dis.
covered on the walls of the subterra'
mean galleries some engrayings esti-
mated to be 10000 years old, and in
such quantity and variety that the ex-
traordnary ensemble of prehistoric
art work constitutes yeritable mu
scum.
THE animals figured In the cave are
considerable In number, and include
relndeers, blsons, horses, both isolated
and In groups; bears, elephants and
rhnosceroses. The representation of
feEnes are very rare in prehistoric
art, but NM. Begouen have photo
graphed In their cave a genuine lion,
executed In baSrellef. They have made
out. also, several birds, including
swans and ducks. as well as three
predatory night flyers.
'"The human figure is likewise repre-
scented in the cave, which, In recognl-
ton of the sons Of Count Begouen, has
been baptized the Cave of the Three
Brothers, A silhouette is particularly
remarkable. almost battling. It repre-
sents man in motlon--a man of pow
erful body, whose head and shoulders
are Joined by an enormous neck; a
man whose upper and lower limbs
and whose hands and feet are perfect
ly human, hut whose vertebral column
is prolonged In an exterior oppcndoge
resembling that of the 0nthropods--a
man at last who walks on four feet" !"
