Abandons Trench Mortar Batteries

One departure from wartime Or
ganization is the abandonment OF
trench mortar batteries with the dlvl-
sions. Instead, single trench NOR
tar regiment will be organized as
part of the Army artillery to be as
signed for duty by the Army COM
mander The extensive use of trench
guns in France was due to stabilized
trench warfare conditions. The divl-
sional batteries lost their usefulness.
except in special conditions when the
allied attack turned the warfare into
an open struggle. For that reason
the trench mortar units Of all divi-
sions were among the first sent home
Another new element is the assign
ment of two anti-aircraft sectors to
the Army artillery. These units, per-
sonnel also to come from the coast
artillery, will include the larger guns
for fire against aircraft and will be
provided with searchlights to spot
night raiders and sound and flash
ranging equipment to locate either
air raiders or concealed guns.

Says He Threw Switch.

Petersburg, Va, Oct. 3.-John
Wynne, a negro inmate of the Gen.
tral State Hospital for the Insane, has
been arrested here charged with the
responsibility for the wreck of Sea-
board Air Line train No. 5 at Sea
Coast, several miles south of the city,
last Saturday night, in which three
persons were kid. It is. charged
that Wynne tampered with the switch
at Sea Coast, causing the derailment
of the train.
Wynne is said to have admitted es-
Gaping from the hospital several
nights before the wreck and break
ing the lock on the switch, but he
did not open it at the time. He again
escaped Saturday night, he said, and
threw the switch.
The man had been confined in the
criminal ward of the Central State
Hospital for years, being sent here
from Nansemond county.

RIOTING IN INDIANA.
Picket Shot By Negro.-Blacks Chas-
ed to the Woods BY Strikers.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct. 3
Rioting broke out at the Universal
Portland Cement plant tonight and a
union picket was shot by one or two
armed negroes who with nearly twen-
ty-five other negroes attempted to re-
turn to work. Several shots were
fred by the two negroes who were
arrested and lodged in jail. The
other negroes were chased into the
woods by nearly 800 strikers.
Indiana Harbors industries had
been closed since the strike was call
ed until today when the Inland Steel
Company, one of the larger steel in
dependent plants in the Chicago dis
trict, resumed. The Mark Manufac-
turing Company at the Universal
Portland Cement Company plant also
resumed operations today.
Sheriff Barnes assigned 800 new
deputies today and the strikers in
about 800 who were on duty when
twenty-five or thirty negroes appear
ed at the cement plant.
Sam Blair and Clyde Bracken, ne
groes, had knives, the police say, and
the union picnets attempted to dis
arm them. Then both negroes drew
revolvers and fired a number of shots.
One union picket was wounded in the
thigh.
Blair and Bracken were arrested
but their companions fed before the
strikers who pursued them into the
woods surrounding the factory and
they were said to be hiding in the
timber. When threats were heard
against the negro prisoners the po-
lice increased the guard about the po-
hce station.

MOTHER KILLS TWO CHILDREN.
Sends Servants Away and Locks Up
House and Turns on Gas.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 3.-Summoned
to his home today shortly after noon
by frantic calls from the servants, T.
II. Nugent, manager of the Morris
Plan Bank, found his two children,
Elizabeth, aged ten, and Hannah,
aged four, dead from asphyxiation
and his wife apparently dead, also
from effects of gas which filed the
bath room of the home. Mrs. Nugent
was resuscitated after an hour of
hard work by city firemen, who used
a pulmotor. The children were dead
when found.
The death of the children and the
precarious condition of the mother
are attributed to an effort on the part
of Mrs. Nugert to take her own and
her childrens' lives in fit of extreme
despondency. She has been i'll for
long time and was to have been taken
tonight to a private sanitarium in At
1anta for treatment for nervous and
mental troubles. Physicians tonight
state that she has bare chance of
recovery. The family is a prominent
one, living on West Fortieth street.
Investigation by the family, the po.
lice and the coroner revealed the fact
that Mrs. Nugent, after lunch, sent
the two colored servants of the house
hold away on different errands, lock-
ed up the house securely, took her
two children to the bathroom and
turned on both gas jets in the room.
The servants returning to the home
could not get in and became alarmed
and phoned Mr.. Nugent. He was i'm
mediately filled with dread of fear.
He rushed home and broke open the
house, calling frant1cally to his wife
and little girls. 1t was the father and
husband himself who discovered the
bodies of the trio in the gas-flled
room and dragged them out hoping
against hope that they might be resus-
citated.
Both the children were dead. Mrs.
Nugent was thought to be dead also,
but the emergency men of the fire de-
partment believed that she still was
alive and their work restored her.
News of the tragedy spread rapidly
and the little school mates of the ten
year old girl, beautiful child, gath
cred at the house awe stricken. Mrs.
Nugent has been in bad health for
long time and recently her condition
had become acute.

Sans story unfolds. one begins 10
realize that to the man who chooses
TO become a favorite of the bur-
lesque stage must first qualify in
some very dificult kinds of enter
tainment. Nine years in vaudeville,
during which time Sam played up
and down all the circuits, have
given him a slant at the game that
few veterans can outclass.
Fortune smiled upon the light
footed Sam when sixteen years ago
as bell-hop in the Knickerbocker
Hotel in New York, he was chosen
at show managers dinner to stage
an impromptu song and dance stunt
which won him an engagement with
two other young chaps who formed
The Bell Boys Trio" which played
for several successful seasons in
vaudeville. After this our hero or
ganized the well-known Howard and
Howard act that appeared in Wash
ington in the Passing Show OF
1918"
Comes now the revelation that
Sam Howard prefers burlesQue to
any other form of stagecraft, for as
he proudly asserts, "Burlesque is
crowding close upon the heels OF
musical comedy for the laurels OF
popularity" There is little doubt
that Sans constant search for COM
edy at every street corner and his
finding the daily changing desires of
theater audiences require constant
improvements in comedy acting,
have much to do with his deep in
terest in his very successful part in
The Butterflies of Broadway" at
the Gayety this week.

EAST NEEDS AID
Immediately
President Cables That His
Request for Funds Should
Not Be Confused.

Characterizing the need of aid for
the starving Syrians and Armenians
as Immediate and very great" Pres
ident Wilson yesterday appealed to
the nation not to permit his request
for a 800. 10000 appropriation from
Congress for European war relier
work to interfere with the collection
OF funds for the Near-East work.
The appeal was the result OF a
cable sent yesterday from New York
by Cleveland II. Dodge. treasurer OF
the American Committee for Relief
in the Near-East to President Will
son regarding the latters request OF
Congress for slOO.OOO,OOO.
In his cable Mr.. Dodge said:
The campaign for $50 coo, 600 for re-
lief and rehabilitation in the Near
East to which you called upon the
people of America to subscribe is
being pushed vigorously. Drive opens
next Sunday. Your request to Con-
gress for 100000 interpreted by
public to mean that this campaign Is
unnecessary. II you want us to pro-
coed, a definite. urgent statement
from you is absolutely necessary to
success. Hope you can do this.
"CLEVELAND II. DODGE"
The following cabled reply from
Paris was received by Mr. Dodge
this morning:
Cleveland II. Dodge,
90 John Street. New York
THE appropriation asked of Con-
gress for handling food relief is not
intended in any way to take the place
OF subscriptions being asked for relief
and rehabilitation in the Near East
hope that this subscription will not
in any way be interrupted or re-
duced. The need is immediate and
very great
(Signed WOODROW WILSON"
The campaign of the American COM
mittee for Relief in the Near East
provides for a fund OF $1,000 900 with
the drive to be made throughout the
nation during the latter part OF the

Your Vitality Must Be Kept
Unimpaired if You Expect to
Resist the Dangers that Are
Lurking Everywhere.

Right now you are on the thresh-
old of the most dangerous season
of the year. when your system is
called upon to undergo the severest
test in resisting disease that is run
ming rampant.
For now is the time when every
breath of air you inhale is laden
with millions upon millions of tiny
disease germs that are fighting to
find lodgment in your system and
set up their campaign of destruc-
ton.
On every hand you see evidences
of Catarrh, with its distasteful and
nauseating symptoms, causing its
victims to constantly hawk and spit
in an effort to prevent the air pas
sages and throat from becoming
stopped up entirely.
And it is a common thing to see
the unfortunate victim of the bron-
chial germ, wheeling and coughing
and almost struggling for breath.
1t seems a constant fight for the
right to live. Those afflicted with
colds and grippe are everywhere.
Most dangerous of all is the germ
of pneumonia, that deadly disease
that carries off its victim with
startling suddenness.
OF course, every one is familiar
with the suffering which the rheu-
matte has to endure as winter
comes on. and the intensity and
regularity of his pains. The disease
seems to take on added severity at
this season, and the little pain
demons run rampant in their
frenzied delight.
Why is it that so many people
fall victims to these diseases. while
others escape unharmed2 Isn't it
true that every one is equally ex-
posed to attack
This is a very natural question.
