BELGIAN KING HAS
BUSY DAY IN GOTHAM
WHISKED OVER THE CITY IN A
SEAPLANE. SEES A BILLION
DOLLARS IN GOLD.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The king of
the Belgians left New YORK city with
out saying just what his sensations
were. But it is a pretty safe guess
that his feelings were akin to those
of man who had just completed his
first trip through one of those trick
piers at Coney Island, where every
thing short of instant death happens
to him and he is finally expelled upon
the beach through tube.
The king has seen New York after
the manner of the American tourist
who does Paris in forty-eight hours.
He was whisked up and down around
the city yesterday in seaplane. He
was hoisted to the top of the Wool
worth building.
Wall Street HowIed Friendship.
He was hurried through the stock
exchange and the produce exchange
and down Broad street, where the
curb brokers pulled out an extra stop
and spent five minutes lassoing the
king with ticker tape, bowling weird
assurances of friendship and other
wise living up to their reputation of
being the noisiest individuals in all
America. Then he took in the Guar
anty Trust Company's great plant,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
aquarium.
With the prince, who accompanied
the king on everything except the
air flight, he went to the sub-treas-
ury and showed interest in the bill
lion dollars in gold stored there. The
prince hefted S100,000,000 in ten
thousand dollar gold certificates and
seemed relieved when Martin Vogel,
assistant secretary of the, treasury,
tucked them back in the vaults.
Luncheon at Bankers Club.
From there the father and son went
to the Bankers Club and had lunch
with a NEST distinguished gathering
of men brought together for the oc-
casion by the Belgian Relief COM
mission. The king made brief
speech and then he and Prince Leo
pold motored back to the Waldorf
to reioin Queen Elizabeth, who had
spent the morning at the Metropoli-
tan Art Museum and the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation Hospital.

Wife Walked Into Flames to Die
With Mate Who Could Not Escape

turned to St. Ives, and rejoined his
family. Then there came another
child. They lived in house on the
wharf.
One morning smoke was seen lssu-
ing from the kitchen and bedroom
windows of the house. Pollard s
brother ran to give assistance and
saw his sister-in-law at the window
of a bedroom. He called to her to
jump. 49,.
But she only shook her head, threw
ND her hands and went back into the
room. Pollard was not seen at the
time. Fortune saved the children, but
the flames were not spent until the
parents were lifeless.
"Could she have got out through
the window when you called to her!
the coroner asked the brother-ln-laW
at the inquest.
eyes, she could have come out
through the window if she had wish
ed" he testified. "But she evidently
chose to die with her crippled hus-
band"

HOPE TO DISPOSE OF
TREATY THIS MONTH
SHANTUNG AMENDMENTS HAVE
BEEN TAKEN UP. MEMBERS
ARE AFTER A REST.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With dis
position of the peace treaty expected
by Nov. 1, congressional leaders are
discussing prospects of closing the
extraordinary session, which began
May 10, to have months rest be-
fore the regular December session
begins.
Pressure is planned in the senate
to dispose of treaty amendments.
Amendments by Senators Johnson,
of California, and Moses, of New
Hampshire, to equalize votes of the
United States and Great Britain in
the league of nations will probably
be disposed of by the middle of this
week, and leaders hope that all
amendments will then be speedily
acted on. Reservations will then be
considered.
President Wilson's illness may
have an effect on the treaty situation.
It is not expected to cause any sub
stantial delay in considering the pact
while the amendments are before the
senate, but when reservations are
reached the presidents counsel is
deemed highly necessary, as demo-
cratic leaders have not had opportun-
ity to discuss with him what reserva-
tions will be acceptable.

BAY STATE PARTIES
WANT SAFE TREATY
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION DE-
MANDS AMENDMENTS, REPUB-
LICANS RESERVATIONS.

BOSTON.-Both the democratic
and republican state conventions, IN
session here today, placed themselves
on record as opposed to the accept
ance of the peace treaty in its pres
ent form.
The democratic convention wound
up a heated debate on the question
of the treaty and the. league of ma
lions by adopting resolution favor
ing ratification of the treaty, includ-
ing the league covenant, only 'pro-
vided the covenant is so amended
as TO give no other nation more
votes than the United States, to pro
tect the sovereignty of the Ameflc
can people, to protect the rlght OF
self-determination and to refrain
from adding to the burden OF peoples
wanting to be free and independent"
The republican convention was
equally frank in its desire to nave
the treaty ratified speedily, but de7
clared that there must be speclneo
reservations and condemned the ac-
ton of the peace commissioners IN
the matter of Fiume, Thrace and
ShantunG.
Lodges Course Praised.
Tn addition to it's action demand
ing reservations the republican con-
vention recorded itself as proud OF
the craftsmanship of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge. The resolution indors-
ed his "efforts to bring about prompt
action on the treaty"

A COUPON-CLIPPING
ERA IS AT HAND
UNCLE SAM PAYING OUT NEAR
LY A BILLION A YEAR. HAS
FIXED EIGHT PAY DAYS.

Uncle Sam is going to pay out
more money in interest alone this
wear to the thirty-odd million hold
ers of liberty bonds than it cost him
to run the government before the
war. During the next II months he
will have to hand over nearl y bill
lion dollars to the great army of
American citizens who bought his war
bonds
Before the war the coupon-clipping
individuals of this country constltut-
ed small and exclusive class. Now,
one out of every three persons IN the
United States has the coupon-cllp-
ping habit. Twice~every year each OF
the 3O,OOO,000 will go to the safe
of some other place where the bonds
are securely tucked away, clip off the
coupon, present it at a bank and re-
ceive the interest.
The first of the autumn coupon
clipping days was Sept. Is. Millions
got their share of the 88,75O,981.8l
that Uncle Sam paid to holders OF
third liberty loan bonds on that day
Pay Days on Fifteenth.
The fifteenth of October is the
next pleasant day, in the same fash
ion. and so is the same date in No
vember, and in December. The gov
eminent has chosen the fifteenth day
of eight months to honor as interest
dates for the liberty and victory
loans. The first interest date fell on
March IS. Others are April Is, May
Is, June Is, and then none until
Sept. Is. :,
Totaling all of the amounts paid
in interest by the government on the
various issues of bonds and notes,
the sum for the year makes the ma
tons operating expenses for such
old-fashioned years as the three which
preceded the war look rather plea
yune. In 1919 Uncle Sam will have
government securities. In 1914 con

INSOLENCE. LOCKED UP.

SALIDA. Colo.-Salida narrowly
escaped Iynching bee when passen-
ger train No. 2 arrived with W. II
Jones, porter, locked in a state
room and sixteen angry Georgians
clamoring for his life. Jones had
struck Fred Wickham, one of the
Georgians. The assault occurred in
Browns canon. Immediately the six
teen men arose and started for Jones,
who ran to the stateroom and lock-
ed himself in. Several guns were
fished and Wickham was told by his
friends to go in and shoot the porter
Conductor John Osgood came
through the car and held the men
back until Special Agent Curtis, VINO
was on the train, arrived from an
other part of the train.
The Georgians were returning
from an insurance convention on the
Pacific coast.
Curtis guarded the door util the
train reached Salida, when, fearing
that the sixteen men would conduct
a iynching bee, he decided to keep
the prisoner in the room until the
train reached Pueblo. Meanwhile
word was telegraphed ahead to have
the police meet the train and guard
the prisoner. -.
The trouble was over lost tick
ct. Jones said the passengers accused
him of having one of their tickets
which he denied.
Wickham declared that the negro
had acted insolently.

Secretary Baker announced he had
issued instructions for the purchase,
storage and traffic division of the
general staff to take charge of the
matter and to hasten it as much as
possible.
This action, Mr.. Baker said, did
not indicate any change in the de-
partment's attitude toward the re-
turn of the soldier dead in France.
Secretary Baker said it was hoped
that the great majority of American
parents would decide to let them re-
main there.

PURGE HISTORIES
OF SLURS ON DIXIE
MISS RUTHERFORD ASKS RIGHT
ING OF WRONGS DONE TO
CONFEDERATE CAUSE.

| ATLANTA, Ga.-Miss Mildred
Rutherford, noted educator and
southern historian, of Athens, stirred
the Sons of Veterans at the Wednes-
day afternoon session by calling at
tention to the unjust articles and his
tories that have been written about
the south, and urged the sons of
confederate soldiers to direct their
efforts to the task of righting the
wrongs that have been done to the
cause for which their fathers fought
so nobly in the sixties.
Miss Rutherford received the ap-
plause of the gathering when she adj
vocated the purging of the southern
schools and histories and text books
that do not do justice to. the south,
and the marking of books in the Ii
braries as unjust that do not give the
southern states and the confederate
cause full justice.
"We must make the north tell the
truth about the southern cause and
its history in order that those who
are growing up may know the truth
before we who have the facts in our
possession pass away" said Miss
Rutherford, and she said that the
way to make the northern historians
and publishers print true histories is
to refuse to purchase those that are
not correct. eve do not want more
than the facts" said Miss Rutherford,
and she declared that she had thrown
three histories out of her own south
ern school because they were not fair
to the people of the north. owe must
not forget that the blood OF the he
roes of the sixties made the heroes
of today" said Miss Rutherford.
Presents Facts.
Miss Rutherford went deeply into
fundamental principles that were at
the bottom of the southern states
actions during the war, presenting
many facts not generally known with
reference to the great civil conflict
Her appeal was a stirring one, in
which she urged the sons Of confed-
crate veterans to bring the facts to
DgnC ana nave ClSIu IiSoI PoA"NSu -
the school histories and other books
in order that the actions of their faith
ers might be vindicated.
Quoting from histories that are
now being circulated, Miss Ruther-
ford showed that General Robert E.
Lee had been placed in the light of
traitor to his country by joining
the confederate cause, and that he
was charged with gaining information
while yet in the United States ser
vice, which he used afterwards with
the confederacy.
Miss Rutherford showed that Abra-
ham Lincoln was not in favor of So
cial or. political equality for the ne
groes, and that he had issued the
emancipation proclamation as mat
ter of political expediency.

"RAH, RAH" ROMEOS
CURBED BY RULING
DRASTIC NEW SOUTH CAROLINA
LAW KEEPS EN- AWAY FROM
THE GIRL STUDENTS.

GREENVILLE, S. C.-Stunned
That's the way thousands of male
students who are just now entering
upon their college duties feel about
a newly effective state law, styled
"Act No. 1885," which is perhaps the
only statute of its kind in the coun-
try.
The drastic law is aimed at the i'm
memorial privilege of male college
students to hang around and about,
in and near the habitat of the female
college student, or at late hours of
the night to pick a little tune on a
mandolin and sing little song to
some sweetly slumbering college
maiden.
Business" Hard to Explain.
Business, or permission of the prin-
cipal or president in charge. are the
only exceptions cited in the code. Just
what business" male student might
claim to have at woman's college
would be hard matter to explain to
the prosaic and unsentimental cop
on the beat.
The act provides fine of not less
than SO or more than 500, or i'm
prisonment in the county jail for not
less than ten days nor more than 30
days.
