the river for twenty cents and buck
shad that were bringing IS cents drop

men have temporarily laid by their

that they could not afford to catch
them.
Thousands of pounds of shad and
herring that could not be disposed OF

Farm Wages Fixed

The farmers on the Eastern shore in
Maryland have been bidding against
each other for farm labor and the la
borers have been loafing until bribed
to work. The farmers have formed an
Agricultural Society to decide on
wages and other cooperative interests.
They have decided there are enough la
borers to do the work and an advisory
Committee has set the wages which
are considered fair and just tor a good
days work.
The idea in compiling such a list is
to establish what might be considered
fair standard OF wages which would be
in keeping with the present cost of liv-
ing. The following are prices named:
FOR thinning com, 20 cents to 25
cents an hour without board. Setting
out tomato plants, same price. Har-
vest, So a day, with board; without
$3.50; an hour, with board, rs cents;
an hour, without board, 80 cents.
Wheat harvest, So a day, with board;
$3.50 without board; 80 cents an hour,
with board; 35 cents, without board.
T~hreshing, SO a day, with board; $3.50,
without board; 80 cents an hour, with
board; 35 cents, without board. Pick
ing tomatoes, 3 to 5 cents a basket, &C
cording to price. Corn cutting, $3.50
a day, with board; 81, without board;
35 and 40 cents an hour. Husking
corn 40 cents a barrel (the fodder.
Ordinary day work, So, with board;
$3.50, without board; 20 cents an hour,

Marquis de Dion Says u. S.
Makers Are Planning to
DUNN Cheap Cars on Market


PARIS, Oct. 4.-Prohibitive import
duties on American automobiles are
advocated in to-days Eclair by Mar
quis de Dion, French Deputy and one
of the most important automobile
manufacturers in France.
American factories have been plan
ming to invade the French market.
especially with low priced cars, the
article says. The 10 per cent tax and
high price Of gasoline has caused a
cessation of buying among the French
people. The manufacturers, besides
demanding high tariff, need cheaper
coal, in order to keep their factories
running.
Automobiles in France are luxuries,
and not necessities, as in the United
States. The result is that even in
proportion to population, there are
twenty times fewer automobiles here
than in America.
81 know that American automobile
manufacturers have lowered their
prices SO per cent, because they have
made too large number for the mar
ket and cannot find sufficient buyers"
writes de Dion. "It is imperative that
our government protect our industry
here against like contingency"

BROOKLYN was sitting in the Office Of
the plant last night, a few feet from
steel safe that contained $4,000 Three
men, with revolvers drawn, rushed
into the Office
Throw up your hands and don't
move or We'll plug you," said the lead
er of the trio.
Tollard drew his own revolver and
fired. Two shots were fired by the
bandits, but both bullets went wild.
Tollard fired second time and one
of the bandits fell.
The other robbers picked up their
wounded companion and fled as Tollard
fred third shot. They put their
injured comrade into the automobile
which had carried them to the National
plant and sped away.
An hour later an automobile was
halted in front of the house, at 16
South Elliott Place, and two men car
ried another to the front stoop and left
him there. The deserted man was
found by passerby. He had been shot
III the right arm. The wounded man
was taken to the Brooklyn Hospital
Tollard later identified the patient
as one of the bandits, the police say.
He described himself as Jacob Weitzer,

party will continue to guard suffrage

decision to-day foreshadows the final
and complete failure of the opposition

The injunction was sought to enjoin
Secretary Colby from issuing the rati-
fc&tion proclamation and to prevent
Attorney General Palmer from enforc-
ing it. The basis of the suit was claims
made against the legality Of ratifica-
tion in Missouri, Tennessee, New
Hampshire, Arkansas and West Vlr-
ginia.
Three motions were before the Court
of Appeals to-day. Counsel for the
anti -suffragists sought to advance the
hearing of the case, but the motion
was denied. A motion by the United

that more time be granted for the til-

LONDON, Oct. a. - Governor James
NJ. Cox's speech in Kansas City, where
he Is reported to have said he believed
ireland would before long achieve in
dependence from Great Britain. has
arouse considerable resentment in
this city. No recent utterance of any
prominent American on the sub ect has
caused such storm of INDICATION
The English papers contrast favor
ably Senator Harding's statement that
ireland is a domestic question for
Great Britain. Cox's statement that
the United States, under the League
OF Nations, might be called upon to
guarantee Ireland's freedom has not
strengthened the waning interest here
in the league.
The contrast between the attitudes
Of the two Presidential candidates
toward the Irish question tends to
make Englishmen more hopeful of Re-
publican success in November.
1t is recognized here that Cox,s
speech probably was designed to catch
the IrishAmerican vote, but a state
ment from so prominent an individual
as the Democratic nominee that Ire
land has right to wage such internal
aggression as seems necessary to &C.
complish independence is considered
going too far"
The Evening Standard says: at is
irritating to note that Nh Cox. who
might conceivably be the next Presj-
dent of the United States. is TALKING
about Ire lands right to separate and
wage such internal aggression as seems
necessary to accomplish that purpose
But though retort would be casv. it
wouldn't be wise.
The better course would be for us to
recognize that people do Judge us so
not only in America but wherever the
IRISH vote is factor, and that the main
business of the British government
should be to put itself right ils the
eyes of the world"
AS much as outside criticism favora
Bile to Irish independence is resented
here. 1t strengthens the public deter

Co., Of which he was senior partner.
and to household and personal SER
wants. There was no official estimate
gwen OF the value Of the estate left
to S4O0OO,000 or $4,000, 900, and would
have been much larger but for the
muniticent contributions to charity
made by Mr.. Schif during his life
time.
Public Bequests
The chief institutional beneficiary
under the Schitf will is the Federation
tor the Support of Jewish Philanthropic
Societles, which receives S5O0,OO0. To
the Montefiore Home and Hospital for
Chronic Diseases, of which the testator

Many Trust Funds
In the nineteen pages covered by
the will of Mr.. Schiff are many CON
tingent provisions for the establish
ment of trust funds for his grand
children, effective in case either the
sou and daughter of the banker pre-
deceased him.
Mrs. Warburg, daughter Of Mr..
Sohiff, and Mortimer L. schiff, his son,
being still alive, these provisions are
inapplicable, leaving the son and
daughter and the public institutions
the only legatces. The executors are

suffrage amendment to the Federal
Constitution was dismissed to-day by
the Court of Appeals of the District

decision of the lower tribunal.
The action will be appealed to the

Complete failure of the attempt
