RIOTING FOLLOWS STRIKE.
Shots Fired and Crew OF Car At
tackled in Brooklyn.
The Perfect Laxative

New York, Aug. 7.-Employees Of
the Long Island Traction Company,
which operates cars in virtually all
the towns of Lang Island, voted to go
on strike at o'clock tomorrow
morning IN sympathy with Brooklyn
Rapid Transit strikers.
Boy Seriously Hurt.
Max Kaufman, a 12-years-of-age
Brooklyn boy, was probably mortally
wounded to-day by a stray bullet
fired by policeman pursuing three
strike pickets, who had attacked and
beaten a guard on an IL" train. The
pickets escaped.
Riotfng Takes Place.
Rioting and the firing of shots at
a wrecking crew early to-day marked
the beginning of the second day Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike
No one was injured.
At a. m. the company reported
1S7 surface cars, or approximately
% per cent Of the maximum, to be
in operation. From one to three po-
licemen were stationed on each car.
On the subway and "L" lines, the
company stated, the service was Is
to II per cent Of normal.
Strike leaders claimed that 95 per
cent Of the entire system was tied
up and that since last night more
than 1000 men had joined the union.
Thousands OF motor trucks, auto
mobiles and wagons were employed
during the rush hours to bring the
vast army Of workers to Manhattan.
Congestion at the subway stations
and IL" platforms, however, was as
yesterday.
The first shots of the strike were
fired at 2.30 a. IN. by an unidentified
man at Schenectady avenue and Ber-
gen streets, who then fed A car
window was broken. At $40 a. m.
strikers and sympathiZers attacked
the crew of car at Vanderbilt ave-
nue. and another at Bergen street and
Rogers avenue.
Car windows were smashed, but
the rioters were dispersed by the
police. No arrests were made.
Not u Car Moved.
Not car or train passed over any
Of the bridges over East River during
the night. Motor buses, trucks and
vehicles Of every description were
used to handle that part Of the traffic
to the more distant points. There
were no disturbances during the
night.
A few surface cars began running
shortly after a. m., and these were
jammed. Policemen rode on front
and rear platforms to preserve or
der. Service on the elevated lines
was started about the same time, but
the trains were infrequent.

us, and the Hun machine gunners
swept the field with a withering fire.
Monster shells screached and

DR.. Edward Meade, intensely pa

Of Souls" Monday
At The Royal Theatre

Auction of Souls" which is to be
presented at the Royal Monday has
the unusual distinction of having a
leading woman who actually enacted
the original scenes which the motion
picture reproduces. Miss Aurora Mar
diganian, the girl who has the lead
ing role, is not a motion picture &C
tress, but was induced to act for the
nlms Just what she personally passed
thrugh in Armenia in 1915.
Miss Mardiganian's inexperience be-
fore the camera is not apparent in the
picture for she holds up her own end
as we'll as any of the regular actors.
Perhaps her art is that born of the
vivid memory of the horrible scenes
through which she passed before es-
Gaping from her native land tt come
to America for further relief.
She is the daughter of a former
prosperous manker at Harpout, and
was thirteen years old when the war
broke out. Being a beautiful girl she
attracted a Turkish official who wish
ed to make her his wife, imposing up
on her his own religion and the lowly
state of Turkish women.
Her father refused to give her up.
When the massacres of the Armen-
ians started. carried on by the Turks
under a secret agreement with the
Germans, the Mohammedans made
further efforts to get possession of the
girl. After seeing her father, mother,
two rbothers and three sisters brutally
slain, she entered upon a series of
adventures which prove that life may
be more exciting than the widest
dream of the fctionist.

try stations, due to the inability
of the railroads to carry the
wheat away as rapidly as the
farmers hauled it in, platforms
were built and hundreds OF
thousands of bushels of wheat
away as rapidly as the farmers
hauled it in, platforms were
built and hundreds of thousands
of bushels of wheat were piled
up in the open. In addition,
great quantities of wheat were
tored in improvised bins.
One result o fthis condition was
that during the following sum-
mer many farmers provided
themselves with galvanized iron
storage tanks on their farms.
In Washington and Oregon,
last year and in 1917, many
farmers built portable wooden
storage bins to hold about l,OOO
bushels each.
Stacking a Partial Solution.
In some parts of the country
last summer, especially in In
diana, for example, stacking was
a feature of crop handling where
it never had been before. Stack
my is a partial solution to the
grain-congestion problem which
every farmer can apply. Fur
thermore, he is likely to be a
gamer by the practice, for wheat
that sweats in the stack, except
during an unusually dry harvest
season, will be Of better quality
than if thrashed from the shock.
If stacked at once after harvest,
weather permitting, the farmer
may then thrash and market the
wheat at his convenience. There
is the further advantage that
the wheat will not deteriorate
should rains come as it would in
the shock. AS a marketing
proposition, stacking as soon as
the wheat has become thorough
" dry after harfest is good
business" particularly with a
billion-bushel crop and longest
ed storage facilities in sight.
Offers Plans for Graharies.
Farmers should consider the
question of providing sthem-
selpes with storage facilities.
Provision may be made to store
wheat in buildings already con-
structed or farm granaries and
portable bins may be provided.

of Agriculture has specifica-
lions for a portable farm gran
