Great American
Painter Dies at
Adirondacks Camp

New York, Aug. 10.-Ralph A..
Blakelock, whose power as a paint
er was recognized only after he had
been comitted to the Middletown
asylum for the insane. died yester-
day at a camp in the Adirondacks.
according to word received here to-
day. His friends recently had OBJ
tanned his release from the asylum
and had sent him to the camp in the
hope that the quiet of the woods
and mountains would restore his
health.
Born in New York in lS47 and al
most wholly self-educated in his art,
Mr.. Blakelock never realized to the
full the fame his work had brought
to him and received only a pittance
of the fortune his talent earned.
For many years he hawked his
paintings about New York, obtain
ing for them never more than few
dollars and undergoing the severest
hardships.
In 1899 his mind gave way under
the strain and he was taken to the
asylum, suffering principally from a
delusion that he was the possessor
of great wealth.
He remained there continuously
for II years, during which his paint
ings had been recognized at their
true value, and he became member
of the National Academy and re-
ceived honorable mention at Paris
exposition.

FOOD PROBE MAKES HEADWAY
LURE OF WOMEN
LEADS CLERK TO
STEAL OF FIRM
r. L. Lewis Held for Taking
Accessories Valued
at $1,000.

The lure of women and the love
of a good time is the explanation r.
L. Lewis, "a years old, clerk at the
Powell Supply company, gives for
the theft from his employers of auto
accessories valued at $1,000.
He was arrested Sunday by De-
tectives Haze and Stoley. They
found him in a we'll furnished apart
ment at 205 South Twenty-fifth
avenue
1t is thought that the goods taken
by Lewis, when checked up, will
amount to more than $1,000. He
has been employed by the Powell
company for ALMOST year and was
considered trustworthy.
Lewis took his arrest nonchalant-
ly. Might as we'll kick in, | sup
pose" he said to Haze. Il wasn't
getting enough money to enjoy
life SO l got it the easiest way
He admitted stealing 5000 Scent
stamps, 200 spark plugs, dozens of
tires, and other sundries.
Police are searching for an &C
complice of Lewis, who played the
part of a fence" in the affair and
disposed of the stolen merchandise.
Lewis will be arraigned Tuesday
in police court for preliminary
hearing of the case.

SHOPMEN ON
STRIKE RECEIVE
CONVENTION CALL
Meeting Thursday to Be Held
to Determine Future Course
of Action.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-A call for a
convention for representatives Of
the striking railway shopmen of the
country to be held here next Thurs
day to determine definitely what
action shall be taken, was issued
Sunday by the Chicago district
council of the, Federated Railway
Shopmen which called the strike
August in defiance of the inter
national officers OF the shop crafts
unions.
This decision was reached as a
result of conferences held by some
of. the international officers and
representatives of the council and
the strikers.
! The strike has been declared lille
gal by the international officers. 1t
was called by the Chicago district
council, whose officers declared
such was the wish of the rank and
file because the international Off
GERS had failed to obtain a settle
ment since the demands for IS cents
an hour for mechanics and 90 cents
for helpers were presented last
February to the rail administration
The council has stood for con-
tinuation of the strike until their
demands should be granted and its
secretary sent a telegram to Presi-
dent Wilson refusing to order the
men to return to work.
L. M. Hawver, president of the
district council, said 200 kilograms
were sent to railroad centers re-
questing that the men send dele
gates who would reflect the atti-
tude of the shop workers.
Expect Normal Conditions.
Washington, Aug. l0.-Develop-
ments over the weekend are ex-
pected to result in almost normal
conditions tomorrow in every rail-
road shop where men have been on
strike.
Director General Hines is ready
to undertake negotiation of wage
demands as directed by President
Wilson, as soon as the men return
to work. In view of President Will
sons specific instructions that the
whole matter would have to be "at
a standstill' so long as an illegal
strike continued, the demah of men
in some places for wage increases
before going back to the job, it was
learned, cannot alter the situation.

TAFT AGAINST
PLUMB PLAN
FOR RAILROADS
Says Idea Radically Socialistic
and Should Be Fought
to Finish.

Cincinnati, D., Aug. 1O.-"It is
radically socialistic and ought to be
fought" William Howard Taft said
of the Plumb plan for the admins
tration of the railroads, in a state
ment here.
Il very much disapprove Of the
plan. | am almost certain the re-
publicans will oppose the Plumb
plan, and l hope the democrats do
too. We should not let the soviet
system gain even a toe-hold in
America" he said. Il do believe in
close supervision of the railroads OF
the country, but such supervision as
we have had has been too severe
We should give the railroads a
chance, give them adequate reve-
nues by proper rates so they can at
tract the necessary capital for nee
essary maintenance and improve.
ments. We have not allowed the
rates to go up as they should"
Referring to the strikes of rail
road shopmen throughout the coun-
try and the demands of other rail-
road unions for increased wages,
Mr.. Taft said:
while | have not gone into the
subject with the thoroughness to
warrant final judgment, | will say
that from what | do know, it seems
20 me that the men are requesting a
greater increase than the percent
age of increase in the cost of living
warrants. Thus, it appears, they are
asking more than they are entitled

Political Murder
League Members
Under Ares,

London, Aug. l0.-Sixteen Rus
slams, including five women, are in
prison in Stockholm and so more are
being detained on suspician of being
members of political murder
league believed to have been con-
cerned in the killing of Nikolai Ard
asjeff, prominent member of the
Russian colony in Stockholm, &C
cording to the correspondent of the
Weekly Dispatch in that city. The
bodies of three other persons be-
lieved victoms of the league, have
been found in a lake near Stock
holm and several other prominent
Russians from the colony of exiles
in Stockholm are missing.
The Stockholm police, the cores
pondent says, believe that those ar
rested belong to bolshevik organi-
zation, which is. contrary to early
reports identifying them as members
of an organization which had for its
purpose the restoration of the Rus

Palmer Starts Out to Learn
How Much the High Cost Of
Living is Due to Excessive
Charges Of GroCers, ct al.
ACTUAL CONSIDERATION
OF H. C.. |. STARTS TODAY
Congress Leaders Make Plans
for Immediate Action on
Recommendations Made by
Wilson in Address.

Washington, Aug. l0.-(By TIL.
Associated Press.)-Attorney Gen
eral Palmer started out today to
ascertain how much of the high cost
Of living is due to excessive profits
by retailers.
| In telegram to all state food ad-
ministrators who worked with Ad-
ministrator Hoover during the war.
the attorney general requested the
appointment Of fair price commit
tee in each county to investigate
what is being charged for retail
necessities and, if in excess of what
the committee considers just, to
publish list of fair prices for the
guidance of the public.
Extra Legal" Means.
This is the extra legal means
Of reaching profteering which Mr..
Palmer recently indicated was un-
der consideration. He has frankly
admitted from the start that there
was no means to prosecute directly
a man guilty of extortion in prices.
Retailers who are gouging the uiti-
mate consumer will have to be dis
ciplined by public sentiment which
| officials have no doubt is sufficiently
alert to the situation now to act vig-
orously in clear-cut cases. Hoard
ers, on the other hand, can BE-
reached through the wartime food
laws or the Sherman act and Mr..
Palmer requested the state food adj
! ministrators to transmit to him any
evidence of boarding or other vio-
lations of the law which they might
encounter in their work with the
promise that the governments
law enforcement machinery would
act promptly.
Normal Conditions Wanted.
There is a pressing necessity for
the restoration of normal condi-..
tons" Mr.. Palmer's telegram said,
requesting the men who did such
effective work during the war to
take up the burden again. They
were asked to serve without COM
pensation, the attorney general be-
lieving that the public service to be
performed now is as important as
when the country was engaged in
hostilities and that no patriotic citi-
zen would refuse the call to duty.
Palmer's Telegram.
The attorney generals telegram
follows:
"In order to secure accurate in
formation relative to charges of
prohteering by dealers in necessary
commodities, it is the desire Of the
government to ascertain whether or
not such dealers are making more
than fair margin of profit. Will
you assist in your state by request
ing those persons who have been
county food administrators under
your jurisdiction to appoint fair
price committees, including one re-
taller of groceries, one of dry goods,
representative of the producers, of
organized labor. of housewives, two
or three representatives of the pub
lie generally, also wholesaler.
when practicable? Please request
them to pursue approximately the
same inquiry with reference to food
products and the ordinary necessi-
ties in dry goods and clothing that
were pursued by your fair-price
committees under the food admins
tration act. This committee will be
an extra legal body without power
