South Bend and for years warden of
the state prison here, came cot flat

every day in the South Bend News
Times. To your correspondent.
Warden Fogarty gave the following
astonishing testimonial:

was disappointed in the proceeds
Financial experts kept assuring public right
along that this depreciation was due TO temporary
causes-that the bonds fell along with the general
price-level, and fell less than any other
securities and that they would rise when the tide
turned and other securities started upward again.
This prophecy is being fulfilled
In the last few weeks the bonds have risen
slowly but surely. The first Liberty issue is
already selling in the open market for a small
and diminishing fraction 100 cents on
the dollar. The other issues are crawling toward
100. and it is confidently expected that within
will rise still higher. II is merely a question of the
restoration OF normal business conditions
This fact should persuade bond holders more
than to hold onto their bonds. Their value is
shown not only in the rising market quotations
but in the eagerness of unscrupulous people to lure
them away from their present owners.

Little Rock, July 3.-The Arkansas Corporation Commission refuses to grant every petition that comes along. The commission is being flooded with petitions and complaints of all kinds, and every one of them is given a thorough inspection and the petition CTS complete hearing.
 For instance, petition was receiv- ed for an order establishing depot at Worden, on the Memphis branch of the Iron Mountain, between Bald Knob and White river. It was found that the proposed site is only mile and a half from another station, at Rio Vista, and the petition was there fore refused.

There is no reason, apparently, why any visitor should go hungry, though unable to find sleeping quarters.

NATIONWIDE WIRE
 STRIKE IS ENDED
Announcement is Made That the
 Strike of Telegraph Operators
 Has Ended-City Employees of : Chicago on Strike.

Chicago, July 24The strike of com mercial telegraphers which began June II, was called off today and the city's strike troubles were believed virtually at an end, but many building laborers continued idle, and about 4,000 garment workers walked out to- day, seeking dollar an hour wage
 The only city employees now on strike are those of street bureaus, about 5000 have refused an increase of 50 cents day and demand $1.
 There was believed to be chance of an early settlement by city hall con- ferences. Policemen and firemen have practically accepted increases of $500 year and there is no more strike talk.
 Engineers still threaten a walkout but are continuing to negotiate.
 Notices of general strike of ladies' garment workers have been issued and 1000 workers walked out today. The employers declared, however, that they had shut down their plants over July 4, while negotiating with officials of the International Cloak, Suit and Skirt Makers union, and had agreed to abolishment of piece work, institu- tion of A hour week and minimum wages of $44 weekly to operators.
 The building laborers, whose walk out has affected about 10000 men, were rebuffed today by the employing contractors. The men had repudiated their officials decision to accept 70 cents an hour and demanded $1. The first arrest in connection with the announced general strike July in the interest of Tom Mooney, im- prisoned in California for bomb out rage, was made today. A man who was said to have been distributing handbills announcing Mooney meeting for tomorrow night was taken into custody.

ARMY FIGHT FANS
 INVADE TOLEDO
Lots of Eats, But No Place to Sleep-Trolleys, Trains, Autos and Airplanes Bring in Many Thousands.

Toledo, July 2--Sweeping down upon this city by every means of mod ern transportation, thousands of box ling enthusiasts are tonight seeking places to lay their heads during the forty odd hours that intervene before Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey de- eide who has the better claim to the worlds heavyweight pugilistic cham pionship. Lnog lines of railroad trains, strings of steamboats, endless chains of automobiles and even an occasional airplane are depositing their burdens of human freight.
 Every arrangement for the caring of the visitors is being tested to the limit and it appears certain that to- morrow night sleeping accommoda- tions will not be available at any price. It was stated this evening that every one of the 25,00O hotel cots and beds had been reserved while the over flow was being shunted into private rooming places and huge vacant stores and office buildings filled with cots. On the outskirts and in the parks along the lake front, tents are being erected by thoughtful autoists, who brought their sleeping quarters on the running boards.
 The gathering of the vanguard be- gan to make it's presence felt early today. At twilight it was almost inn possible to move about the corridors of the leading hotels except at slow, wiggling, lodging gait and the novice rubbed shoulders with sport celebri- ties from all parts of the continent. It is estimated that between fifty and seventy thousand visitors will surge into Toledo during the final "A hours and there will be need of extraordi- nary facilities to avoid repetition of the scenes at Reno, before the John 'son-Jeffries contest, when hundreds of men with rolls of money in their pock- cts, slept on lumber piles or grass plots.
 Many visitors, dry and dusty, found a surprising and welcome oasis behind palms and swinging doors, or real bar rooms, where brigades of white uni formed attendants loomed up across the same old mahogany, and federal and state laws to the contrary, not withstanding, concocted tinkling ice thirst assuagers, in which John Bar leycorn played an important part. It did not require personal introduc- tion to the aproned gentry in order to come in close contact with these dust drenchers and many man who had his liquid refreshments with him, from distant points, marvelled at the re- ports of dryness which caused his financial ontIay and precaution before he entrained for Toledo.
