sumers and join with the Federation

it either by legislation or united
action.

POLICE TRACE
MURDER CAR"
Two Men and Women Es-
cape After Staying in Phil
adelphia Apartment.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. "a
The big red roadster in which the
murderers of Henry T. Peirce, of
Fort Washington, escaped from the
city, was located last night in a ga
rage at Wheeling. w. Va. 1t had
been left there for repairs by two
men and the "comely blonde" who
was in the company of Pierce on
Saturday night when he was last
seen alive.
Detectives Mulgrew and Hanley of
the detective squad Immediately left
for Wheeling confident of appre-
hending the suspects within twenty
four hours. The description of the
car together with the license num-
Der. led to the positive Identification
of the car as that owned by Peirce.
The car was stored in the Eureka
garage in Wheeling on Monday
night. The suspicious OF w. D.
Plant, owner of the garage. were
aroused by the similarity Of the de-
scription published in the Philadel-
phia newspapers with the appear
ance Of one of the men and the
woman occupying the car. The Ii
cense plates on 1t were bent doubt
less to prevent a casual observer
from reading the number of the
license.
The police are guarding the ma
chine awaiting Philadelphia detec-
tives. They believe that the murder
party escaped in a train.
Early Sunday morning, after
crushing Peirce's skull with a heavy
pipe wrench during q struggle in
his apartment at zoos Market street,
the murderers jumped into the ma
chine and headed south at terrific
rate. On Friday night a woman
visited Peirce at his apartment.

Il resolved that the Trinidad Cit

srlt of a bad financial condition Of

HIGH SHIPPING TONNAGE MARK

The new register book, just issued bv Lloyds discloses the surprising fact that the shipping tonnage in world use, including all types, was on July 1 last, greater by S,225.oOO gross tons than it was at the end Of July, 1914, or, at the acme of ship ping tonnage of the antebellum per iod. The destruction of the U-boats has not only been replaced, but the replacement has been nearly doubled There was an immense construction of shipping during the year that ended last June, and at the end of the last fiscal year the United States had in use 16.049,000 gross tons of commercial shipping. The British tonnage at the same time was IS. 330, ,o00 tons, and of all other countries 22,935.00O tons, thus representing 8 world tonnage of 57.314,000 tons.
 In spite of this indicated enormous expansion of shipping available for commercial uses, there seems to bf yet shortage of ships in respect to the greatly expanded world com merce. Great Britain Is still building ships with frantic speed, and though there has been considerable slow down ill the construction work o. American yards, all the ways of the I best equipped American plants are ye

SJ my N' March, Popular Composer
 The first musical instrument that man ever used was the broken horn of a COW. The present day symphony or chestras and jazz bands bring forciblv 10 mind some early history which I am aDle 10 quote below, through the kind assistance of brother musicians and past masters have met
 An orchestra is divided into two parts-the wind instruments which are tne horns of various kinds, and the string instruments which are the var ious kinds of violins. The old Roman horn was called the cornu. It was a short horn which corresponded to the modern bugle and the old post horn" made famous by Dickens in his stories.
 Now the only horn known of today or this ancient type is today oh exhibit gu the Westminster Abby of London. The modern saxaphone which was orig finally called "sax horn' was invented by one Adolph Sax. The French horn is Q still later development.
 The Roman horn was originally made or brass tubeing. When Roman .civili- zation was effaced the art of making this tubing and of bending 1t was lost 10 the world for several centuries. Later in the eleventh century when Europe began to express itself in things ar ttsttc Eastern influences had crept in and the horn took many varying forms. The modern French horn contains nearly eight feet of tubing.
 In the museum of Copenhagen, there is a bronze horn called "lurs," which was made more than one thousand years before Christ. The horn in the middle ages played an important part in the life of the North Sea sailors. The medieval seafarers made his way with a horn, as the only then known safety device. The equally romantic horn of the night watchman took it's place fir the folk lore of the early days of North Europe. The night watchman going his rounds. blew upon his horn and an nounced that all was well, or as the case might have been, called his fellow citizens to a fight or a fire.
 Tn England in the year 1899, William Bull perfected the brass horn and mad, the. original of what was later tn cornet and trombone.
 The violin as we know it today, i the grand child of the old ''Iinnesinge fiddle" of the 18th century. An instru ment having five strings, one of whicl was a great brass string. Older, how ever, even than the fiddle" was the tw and three stringed "rebes.' which wer designed to supplement the voice of boy singing. None of the older violin had a deeper compass than the voic of a child.
 In the thirteenth century there cam the ''vior' a great flat backed violi which survives today in the form of tn double bass of the modern orchestra Out of this grew the smaller viols an the modern violin. The viols survive
