YONKERS, Aug. 14.-"Bilr' Klein,

their president. President Klein has
eight umpires under him, who are re-

fashion as he is to the head of the

particular interest in the umpire ques-
ton and is rapidly developing his ar
biters into big-league prospects.
When it comes to deciding protests
President Bill is also right on the JOB.
He has been called upon to decide no
less than eight protests this season

WALL STREET IS FULL
OF OUTSIDE TRADERS
Millionaires Made in Night,
Fortunes Vanish in War
Price Speculation.

NEW YORK. Aug. l4.-High prices
of foods and products of factories are
reflected nowhere better than in the
New York stock market. where tram
sactions have been so heavy in recent
weeks that extra holidays. in addition
TO the Saturday halliday have been
necessary to allow clerks to keep up
with the business.
Starting last March trading has
been so active that rarely day has
passed when shares sold did not reach
the million mark. and on occasions
the number has gone above 100000
And rarely has the market been over
Sold" condition reached when shorts
sell so heavily that it is difficult for
them to move by purchases.
Naturally with such demand for is
sues of all character. it follows as a
matter of course that prices must
mount. And mount they have.
The day before the world was
plunged into war-July 80, 1914
stocks which now are selling at far
more than 500 a share. could be OBJ
tanned for a bare fraction of that fig
ure. Common stock of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine, for instance
COulu De pIChtQ up wan 81 cct cc-
fore the start of hostilities at few
dollars a share. 1t has gone above 60
since that day.
One great factor in the continued
and steady advance of all classes since
that time has been the phenominal
richest ground out in the factories that
produce war munitions. Millionaires
were made overnight. The public
heard of these things and wanted to
get in. They outnumbered the pro-
fessional traders. And then along
came the oil stocks with the develop
ment of the great Ranger field in
Texas. Oil stocks began to soar.
Persons who never dreamed they
would have better than a weekly sal
ary have invested their savings in
some security and have come out rich.
The effect was dramatic. The street
has been full of outside traders.
OF course, the rich ones are great
ly outnumbered by that saddened
horde which has lost its all in Wall
street speculation, but the glamor OF
the dollar always calls more.
And. while outside speculation is
easing up and things gradually more
normal, there still is an influence that
bids fair to keep prices very hish
merely by the process of supply and
demand for shares.

MORGENTHAU ASKS
NEAR EAST RELIEF
Humanitarian Impulse Must
Come From U. S., Says
Former Envoy.

You can travel for days in eastern
Europe, and see only emaciated faces
with eyes that are dull from lack of
food" declared Henry Morgenthau.
former ambassador to Turkey, in an
appeal for aid for the near East, in
Memorial Continental Hall. last
night.
shall we stand aside while Europe
founders in agony into dissolution, or
are we to rise to our opportunity and
our duty, and rescue those suffering
peoples?" he continued.
The great impulse must come from
this side of the Atlantic. Europe is
today facing a dissolution not unlike
that which overwhelmed her whep the
Roman Empire fell"
Mr.. Morgenthau stated that nothing
but a miracle could prevent death
from cold and starvation which faces
from 5000. 900 TO 10000, 900 people in
Europe and the near East.
Mr.. Mofgenthau told of a scene he
witnessed in Pinsk last August. A
Polish officer took thirty-fve men
from an assembly hall and marched
them into the public square, where
they were shot. Troops threw the
thirty-fve corpses into pit in an old
Jewish cemetery. without decent bur
was made that the men were Bolshe-
visits, Mr.. Morgentheau explained. but
this was subsequently found to be un-
true.
The evening after the massacre.
said Mr.. Morgenthau, 81 attended di-
vine service at the synagogue. Inside
the building 600 men, women, and
children screamed at the loss of their
leaders. until it seemed that the
heavens would burst. / had read of
such public expressions of agony in
the Old Testament, but this is the first
time / ever completely realized what
the collective grief of prosecuted
community is like. To me il has re-
mained pitiful memory. and symbol
of the cry for help that is now going
forth from a great part of Europe"
Preceding the meeting, Mrs. Cabot

new MAIL AEROPLANE
BREAKS SPEED RECORD
DeHaviland Machine Flies From
Washington To New York In
"a Minutes.

The aerial mail service has given
the world a new airplane.
The new craft is a De HaSiland
equipped with twin motors. Yester-
day the new plane made its first flight
with the mail and made a record that
is creating intense interest in avia-
tion circles throughout the world. in
cidentaliy setting new airmail speed
record.
Carrying 10000 letters weighing $50
pounds the plane flew from Washing
ton to New York. a distance of 2lS
miles, in 94 minutes, a speed of I3g. .
miles per hour The plane was pilot
ed by Samuel c. Eaton, jr., who has
been taking a special training course
in the operation of the new plane
This morning Pilot Eaton left New
York at o o'clock but was delayed by
steady head winds.
Following the exceptional per-
formance Of this new machine the
aerial mail service is planning the
immediate construction of about
fifteen new planes of the same type.
The new ship is rebuilt from the
original one-motor De Haviland plane
1t was designed by airmail officials
and built under their supervision.
The fOO-horsepower Liberty motor
was removed from the nose" of the
fuselage and in it's place a mail com
partment was fitted. This compart-
ment, fully fireproofed, has a capacity
of 500 pounds. The wings of the
plane were heightened about ten feet
and on either side of the fuselage be-
tween the wings "a 2OO-horsepower
Liberty motor was installed Beyond
strengthening the wing structure and
installing triple rudders no further
changes were made.
