HARD ON THE LADIES

Cardiff, Wales, July 18.-Again a
British clergyman has put his foot
down against the prevailing fashions
in women's dress and refused to give
communion to all women who kneel
at the altar in attire whech he may
regard as immodest.
Father Joseph Parlin, celebrating
high cass at Saint Paul's Roman
Catholic church here. issued the fol-
lowing warning to his congregation:
81 hope" he said "that lady members
of my parish will not attempt to at
tire themselves in some of the present
day fashions. If any immodestly
dressed woman approaches the altar
for holy communion I shall refuse to
allow her to partake of the sacra-
ment, passing her by as if she did
not exist"

NOVEL METHOD OF
SHIPPING FISH

Detroit, Aug. IA barge loaded
with fresh water fish from the De-
troit aquarium at Belle Isle is en-
route to New York city by water,
marking inauguration of shipment of
fresh water varieties by this route.
The consignment, in charge of
Captain Chapman Grant, United
States army officer who is director of
the Belle Isle aquarium is intended
for the New York aquarium at Bat
terry Park On the return trip salt
water fish will be brought from New
York for the Belle Isle institution.
The fish being taken to New York
represent 20 different varieties found
in lakes and rivers of the central
states. They are making their jour
ney in large wooden and metal tanks,
into which air is pumped through
bass wood plugs by means of gaso-
line engine. The barge on which the
tanks were placed is equipped with
two outboard motors and is being
towed by a gasoline yacht. Three
thousand gallons of sea water for Use
in the aquarium at Belle Isle viii be
brought to Detroit on the return trip.
Captain Grant, who formerly was
assistant director of the New York
aquarium, was the first to transport
fish by water from Key West to New
York, making the trip IN 1910.

creases in the charges for freight
service, including switching and spec
ial services, together with the other
increases hereinbefore approved
would under present conditions re-
suit in rates not unreasonable in the
aggregate under section / of the
transportation act, and would en-
able the carriers in the respective
groups, udner honest, efficient and
economical management. and reason
able expenditures for maintenance of
ways, structures and equipments, to
earn an aggregate annual railway
operating income equal, as nearly as
may be, to return of 51a per cent.
Upon the aggregate value for the
purpose sof this proceeding. of the
railway property of such carriers
held for and used in the service of
transportation and one-half of one
per cent in addition; eastern groups
40 per cent; southern group 25 per
cent; western group 35 per cent and
mountain Pacific group 25 per cent. !"
The decision of the commission,
which was unanimous, summed up as
follows:
'sMost of the factors with which
we are dealing are constantly chang
ing. 1t is impossible to forecast with
any degree of certainty what the
volume of traffic will be. The general
| price level is changing from month
to month and from day to day. 1t IS
impracticabIe at this time to adjust
all of the rates ON Individual commo-
dities. The rates to be established
on the basis herinbefore approved
must necessarily be subject to such
readjustments as the facts may war
rant 1t is conceded by the carriers
that readjustments will be necessary.
It is expected that shippers will take
these matters up in the first in
stance with the carriers, and the lat
ter will be expected to deal promptly
and efficiently Herewith, to the end
that necessary adjustments may be
made in as many Instances as prae-
ticable without appeal to US"

CoNSTANTINoPLE A
WIDE-0PEN TOWN

Constantinople, July 7.-Constanti-
nople now combines all the frenzy of
new mining camp and a world sea-
port. It's "the end of the trail" for
all the Balkan states and everything
west of Suez on the Mediterranean.
Caucasion oil men, Donetz Basin min
ers, Anatolian sheep and cattle kings,
Greek war millionairies and Syrian
merchants rush to Constantinople 60
pop champagne in proof of their sue
cess. Soldiers and sailors of half a
dozen nations swell the population
and add to the cosmopolitan aspect cf
the streets and pleasure resorts.
Under allied occupation the city
has become a wilder place than it
was under the Turks. There are no
civil courts. None of the allies desire
to assume responsibility for reforms
other than are necessary to safe
guard life. Italian, French and Brit
ish troops cooperate with the Turkish
gendarmerie in keeping order. But
everybody's job is nobody's job. Con-
sequently Constantinople is a very
wide-open town. Midnight closing is
enforced pretty generally, but until
that hour there is little interference
with dance halls, gambling dives and
redlight districts unless murder is
committed
Leadville and Goldfeld in their diz-
ziest days never offered anything
wilder than certain sections of Con-
stantinople where jazz bands vie with
Neapolitan orchestras and tsigane
singers in their efforts to attract
wayfarers into the beer tunnels and
dance halls filled to overfiowing with
the painted women of many national
tiles.
Half a dozen summer gardens offer
vaudeville programs which attract
thousands of persons every night
who seem to have far more interest
in the drinks and restless crowds
than in the Russian prima donnas
and bare-legged dancers whose art is
usually as meagre as their attire.
Turks, Arabs, Bedouins, Egyptians
and Assyrians, gorgeously clad in
native costumes. elbow their way
among Cossacks and Georgians whose
uniforms are far more brilliant than
their recent military achievements.
Coal-black French colonials, re-
splendent In red fezzes and green
khaki, mingle with Sikhs and Puma
jabi whose long hair and many-color-
ed headdresses are wrapped in sombre
brown. Civilians, soldiers and sail
ors from all parts of the world are
nopelessly jumbled together in Con-
stantinople's crowds and are so busy
looking at each other that tenors
from the Petrograd opera, naughty
French singers from Montmarte and
Austrian strong-jawed ladies claim
bat slight attention.

A MODERN BLUEBEARD

Paris, July 15.-M. Landru. the
Gambais "Bluebeard,", as the police
call him, when informed that three
alienists had declared he was sane
and responsible for his action replied
melancholically: 81 am panied that I

Landru win come up for trial on
Aug. 4 on charges of eleven counts of
murder growing out of the disap-
pearance of as many women to whom
he had promised marriage.
"You charge me with murder" ex-
claimed Landru to Judge Bonin,

A HIGHER TITLE

Paris, July 15.-"Foch will keep US
waiting 15 or 20 minutes" said the
sentry at the Care du Nord recently
while the special train that was to
bear the French delegation to Spa
was being shunted into the siding.
An elderly little man, wearing the
undress uniform of a general of divis-
ion, military medal, war cross and
Legion of honor, sauntered up and
quite amiably said: "You might at
least call him Marshal Foch.'"
The soldier took one glance at the
general, then standing rigid at at
tention, replied: zone never says
Marshal Caesar or Marshal Napo-
leon,' Monsieur lie Marechal"
Smiling broadly, Marshal Foch en-
tered the special train.

IN SAN FRANCISCO
ASSOCIATED Press)

San Francisco, Aug. Shutting
homeward through the fog in China
town the other night, Chinese youth
noticed piece of white paper fiuttcr
through circle of light from a
street lamp and fall to the pavement
He picked it up and read its mes

The young Oriental to whom the
note had fallen happened to be
American-born. He knew that it was
dangerous to interfere with the girls
captors and to inform might mean
death for him and his family. lie
went to the Hall of Justice with the
note and his name will never be
known to anyone but the police.
Police Captain 0'Meara. with fed
eral officials and a representative of
Chinese mission, raided the place
an hour after the letter was dropped
out of the window. They battered
down three doors and on the fourth
floor found Loi Mui.
The girl is held in the city prison
while federal officers investigate her
story. She may be deported. She
said she was sold as a slave in China
when she was II and brought to this
country. afterward. Detectives say
she was held by the Hop Sing Tong,
one of the strongest factions of
Chinatown.
