CABINET OFFICERS GAVE TEN SONS
 ID THE SERvICE:

When the United States entered the war against Germany in 1917, ten sons of cabinet officers were old enough or nearly old enough to perform military duty. Nine of them saw actual ser vice either in the Army or the Navy 1.-two of them in the ranks and the remainder as officers. One son of Secretary of the Navy Daniels was a naidshipnan at Annapolis.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson and Sec retary of the Treasury McAdoo had each three sons in the American forces. First Lieutenant William B.
 Wilson was passed as a flyer and was about to go overseas when the arnlis- tce was signed. Joseph B. Wilson was a, second lieutenant, having been graduated from Fort Myer like many another young officer. James H. Will son, youngest of the three, enlisted as a private of infantry, spent six months
 on the Mexican border, and subse- quently went to France. He became 6 a non-comTnissioned officers.
 The rest of the Cabinet officers sons
 saw service in the navy. They included the three sons of Secretary McAdoo,
 William G. McAdoo, Jr., who was a naval aviator, Robert H. AIcAdoo, the youngest, who enlisted as an ordinary SSe1i4leliI' anu idnClS H. MCACOO, an
 ensign in command of one of the tor pedo boat chasers. Secretary Daniels
 had two boys in service. Worth B. Daniels was in the Naval Academy during the war. Josephus Daniels, Jr, held the highest rank of any Cab met officers son in service, a cap- tatncy in the Marine Corps, in which
 he entered as a private a month be-
 fore the war.
 There were two other Cabinet boys III service, the sons of Secretary Hous-
 ton of Agriculture and of Secretary Lane of Interior. David F. Houston, Jr-, and Franklin K. Lane, Jr Young Houston served as a naval ensign and among other assignments served aboard the Nebraska Young Lane served as a naval aviator with the rank of lieutenant, junior grade, at the naval base at Queenstown and also in England and France. All of these boys resigned their commissions or earned honorable discharge from ser vice as soon as their work was fin 1shed. None of them sought to retain the military titles and ranks they had acquired.
 The fathers of these young men were each at the head of an impor- tant Government department, and in 1o3|h every Qay With the affairs of the administration. In only one in stance was a favor asked in behalf of
 any of the boys. That was in the case eof James H. Wilson, son of the Sec retary of Labor. He was in France I last spring when his mother became critically ill in Washington. Learning that the young man was on his way back home, President Wilson made
 provision for him as a passenger on

Dorsen Testifies This Was Done Under Willett's
 Orders.
WITNESS DESCRIBES
 FAILING BUSINESS

''The day after the creditors refus- ed to accept the composition of 20 per cent which we offered them Will lett told his man Gottstein to fatten the goods out, the goods in this store and tumble them up so that they would look like seconds. That night Gottstein took out some shirts and wiped them on the floor so that they got all over dirt, and then mixed them up with the other shirts on the counters. He also took a lot of ho- siery out of the boxes and unused them up and mixed those of good quality with a lot of cheap hose. He also pulled the tags off a lot of goods,'' Harry Dorsen testified today when the hearing on the creditors objections to the accounting of the receivers of the Dorsen Dry Goods company was resumed before Referee John w. Banks.
 Dorsen was put through a severe cross examination by Robert P. Lewis of New York, attorney for the receiv- CTS, but his testimony varied but little from that given at former hearings.
 He told of his efforts to induce the creditors of the Dorsen Dry Goods Go. to accept the compromise of 20 per cent, which WilIetts had decided 10 offer them and stated that he had obtained the signatures of some of his personal friends, who were creditors although he knew that the creditors were entitled to a larger offer. The witness told of the declinins business of the Dorsen Go. after the appointment of the receivers because of the failure of the receivers to ad- vertise and their refusal to hold the customary sales.
 He was cross examined at length in regard to an agreement made be- tween the receivers and the Abel company; one of the subsidiaries ot thS Dorsen company, whereby the rent of the Abel company was chang l ed from S1,25D a month to 10 Der cent. of the gross sales.
 1 He said that this was done after he had called attention of Willett to the fact that the Abel company could not I afford to pay the former amount or | account of the insistence of Wiliett that the business be curtaIed unti after a settlement was made with the l creditors.

PRELATE'S ENTRY INTO HARTFORD
 Is TRIUMPHAL

Hartford, Oct. The entrance of Cardinal Mercier into Connecticut and into the capital city today was triumphal. All along the mornings journey. at every halt of the train that drew his special car, throngs pressed forward to give him greeting and to draw some sign of his good will. And he did not disappoint them. No sooner had he aighted from the car in this city than he stepped aside from the formal pro cession of dignitaries to lay his hands a moment on the heads of two little children and speak to them as though they meant more to him than all the rest.
 q am overwhelmed by my welcome everywhere" he said Tt is all very wonderful. am glad, very glad to be here among those who heard the cries of my people in distress and so generously gave them aid.'
 The cardinal was met at the train at 11:O5 by Governor HoIcomb and members of his staff, Adjutant Gen. eral George M. Cole and other well known citizens. A reception was ten- dered his eulinence at the capitol
 In the governors office a chair was placed near the door and for a mo- nent the cardinal seated himself, the governor taking another chair nearby Then began a reception which brought distinguished company to shake hands with the Belgian hero. The first to be presented by Governof- Holcomb was ex-Gov. Frank B. Weeks. Others were former Governor Baldwin, Bishop Chauncey B. Brew ster and President William Arnold SlankIin of Wesleyan University A Belgian flag and United States flag crossed before a, mirror at the west end of the room, formed the only decoration in the offices. The car dinaI, looking out of the window re- marked on the architectural beauty of the state library building
 The reception in the office of the governor occupied about twenty min utes. Then the party proceeded to the hall of the House of Representa- tives, where a crowd of about 400 people was gathered. He sat on a platform in front of the speakers desk, with Governor HoIconnb at his left. Chancellor John J. Murray of the Hartford diocese announced that the cardinal was not to shake hands with any one for it was feared that the ordeal would fatigue him. But when the first few people, nisunder- standing the instructions, variously obeyed them, some shaking hands and some walking out with a mere glance, the cardinal hastily called to Father Murray and after half minutes con- versation, the chancellor announced:
 ''The cardinal wishes to shake hands with an''
 And so they filed down in front of the little platform, men, women, boys and girls some kissing the episcopal ring; others merely giving the cardin- aPs hand a shake and lowing.

STILL NO CHANCE IN STRIKE AT
 CHICAGO

Chicago, Oct. 1---No extensive change in the general situation in the steel strike in the Chicago district was noted as the walkout today entered it's tenth day. Company officials at some of the plants, notably at Gary, Ind, claimed that work was being re- sumed on an increasing scale but union leaders asserted that their ranks were unbroken.
 Mills at Joliet, Ills, were busy to- day, work in some of them starting yesterday for the first time since the strike was called.
 At Waukegan, Ills, conditions still remained most threatening of any in the Chicago district. No violence marked yesterdays progress of the strike but 300 business men who had been sworn in as deputy sheriffs, met to form a military company. That ac- ton was on advice of the state adju- tant general who reported to the gov ernor that there was no need at this time for militiamen to patrol. at Wau- gekan.

 Tickets Federal Agents Begin In vestigation in Gin
 cinnati. HIT TO BLEACHERS
 IS HOME RUN

Cincinnati, Oct. 1-Cincinnati fed eral agents today began an investiga- ton of alleged scaIping of baseball tickets for the world series games here. A number of C:ncinnatians who are said to have bought tickets from scalpers at high prices are sum. moned to the office of the United States Internal Revenue Collector for examination. If evidence warrants it was said, warrants will be filed.
 Pat Moran, manager of the Cincin- nai Reds. today received an omen of good luck shortly before the begin. ming of the opening game. IL was a box full of southern Shamrocks" ." or cotton balls from Jack O'Donahue past exalted ruler of the Chattanooga, Tenn, lodge of EIks. Baseball fans from every section of the country were in Cincinnati today for the opening of the series, put Ohio fans were in the majority. Governor Cox headed the Columbus rooters
 Among other public officials who arrived this morning were Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, and former Governor A. B. White of West Virginia.
 Manager Moran announced that af- ter a conference with Manager Glea- son it was decided that ball batted into the left field bIeachers would be considered a home run. Whether there will be any linita ton on a hit into the crowd standing in right field will be decided just before the game begins, he said. The center field is an open space, so no rule is needed for it.
 The decision to allow a home run on balls hit into the left field tenn porary stands shows that Moran is not fearful that the White Sox have any longer drivers than he has on the Reds; in other words, that Groh, Roush and Duncan are as liable to hoist the ball into those stands as Jackson or Felsch, the principal dis tance hitters of the Chicago team.

Ballot Box Stulffe(l IIl
 Chamber
Opponents of Clemenceau Jubilant Until They Found
 Box Had Been Stuffed.
WOULD FURTHER
 DISARM GERMANY

Paris, Oct. 1-Opponeurs of Pre- few moments in the session of the Chamber of Deputies last evening when an official count on the vote of confidence he had asked showed 301 votes against the government and only 262 in it's favor. The checking up, however, revealed that there ha d been a stuffing of the ballot box, the official count showing the adverse vote really to have been only 1S6, so that the gov erpments majority, al- though relatively slight, seemed sat- isfactory to the ministry bench.
 The chief argument of Deputy Le- fevre, in presenting his resolution, was that he was not proposing an amendment to the peace treaty, but that it was a motion proposed in the American Senate and which was voted by the British parliament. His resolution would instruct the gov ernment to seek the addition of a rider to the Versailles treaty calling for the further disarmament of Ger many. He disclaimed any intention of playing politics, but government supporters expressed the opinion that his motion was a mere tactical move in the general offensive against the CIemenceau cabinet.
 It was plain that an active lobby campaign was in progress before the opening of the session. When the i final figures were proclaimed, the op- position found solace in the fact thai . there were 37 abstentions, which, ac- i cording to the French usage, counted against the government and made M Clemenceaus majority exactly 37. Debate on the treaty has now beer l going on for six weeks
