BALTIMORE TO GET
Low GAS STANDARD
P. S. C. Won't Raise Rate. But
Will Reduce Number Of
Units in Measure.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30.-The public
service commission signed an order
yesterday establishing the standard OF
gas in Baltimore at 500 British ther-
NAL units. reducing the standard from
$50 and thus avoiding an increase in
the price which automatically will re-
turn to IS cents per 900 feet. 1t con
timed the gas rate hearing until Oc-
tober "A to give time to the company
10 furnish il more data which IL de
sires in order to find out whether the
company's REQUEST for an increase In
the secondary rate is reasonable.
The company had been furnishin &
gas throughout the summer practi-
cally as it had received il from the
this being the case, the commission
had ordered a temporary reduction in
price from IS to 65 cents per 1000
feet in order to allow the public to
share in the benefits the company
had with the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany.
Herbert Fl. Wagner, president OF the
gas company, was on the stand for
the greater part of the day and he
argued strongly for an increase in the
secondary rate of from so to 80 cents
on the 500 b. T. U. basis. He said
there was a likelihood that so many
persons would use gas instead Of coal
for house heating this winter that the
company would be unable to supply
the demand for gas and that the serv-
ice to the existing customers for gas
for cooking purposes would be i'm
paired seriously.

Labor's Attitude
Improving Under
Present Reaction

Gradually the general situation of
business in the United States is i'm
proving, with the railroads moving
freight, and good crop coming on
this fall.
A special bulletin published
monthly by the American Exchange
National bank of New York City calls
attention to the fact that employers
are reporting marked improvement
in the attitude of labor following
enforced shut-downs due to the in
ability of the mills to obtain coal
and raw materials and to the de-
crease in the demands for goods"
Railroad strikes have "backed up"
large amounts of materials and fin
ished goods in freight depots, which
shuts off automatically further man
ufacture, since both intake of raw
materials and oltgo of products are
blocked. Manufacturers, 1t is said,
too, are not at all hesitant about
closing down, inasmuch as they have
a great deal of trouble, even with
the best Of outside conditions, keep
ing their working forces satisfied
and on the job.

HEART IN GRAVE

Great Commoner Indi-
Gates Disappointment
in Convention

PORTLAND, William Jen-
nings Bryan, whose personality and
eloquence the San Francisco conven-
| ton accorded such a Spontaneous
ovation, but the whose platform sug-
gestions is turned so deaf an ear, was
a Portland visitor for few hours
| Thursday.
my hearts in the grave and |
| must pause until it Games back to
| me,'' quoted the Commoner from
Mark Anthonys speech as given by
Shakespeare when he was asked
whether he would actively support
the Democratic ticket, stand by it,
or expose it during the campaign.
Bryan turned to the interviewers
with somber smile in his eye at the
end of the quotation said
Period" Then he added, at has
not come back to me yet"

Put this down." he said speaking
slowly. THE league plank stage a
sham battle. Both parties know in
advance that neither party can Sc
cure two-thirds of the senate at this
election and therefore neither party
can carry out it's policy, for it takes
two-thirds to ratify."
Mr.. Bryan is possibly at Portland
to take up his lecturing duties with

TEN, under the auspices of which he
is to appear in Blackfoot July Is,
next Thursday afternoon. Arrange
ments are now under way for his
entertainment and the accommoda-
ton of his audience.

BAR TO RUSSIAN
TRADE REMOVED
u. S. Government Act.
ing Alone Amends
Restrictions

| WASHINGTON American citj
zens or corporations may now trade
with Russia but at their sole risk
| and with restrictions as to such
commodities as may be susceptible
to immediate use for war purposes. -
Announcement to this effect has
been made by Norman Davis, acting
secretary of state, after visit to
the White House.
The war trade board, which is now
bureau of the state department,
also announced that the special ex-
port licenses heretofore demanded
had also been so amended as to
authorize expectation by freight or
express without individual licenses
to all countries of the world
This privilege has also restrictions
as to munitions of war when they
shall be Offered for shipment tot
Russia, the republic of Austria, Bull
garia, or Turkey, China or Next
CO. The announcement by the war
trade board specifies the articles
which cannot be shipped without
permission to the countries named.
In general way the list includes
what is known as contraband of
war.
The war trade board, however
stated that even though the list is
forbidden, an operator asking for
license may submit a statement that
he knows they are to be used for
civil and positively not for military
purposes.
The announcement of this action
was looked for for the past three
1t is asserted officially that the
United States is acting alone and
agreement with any action
the allies may take on the question
of trade with Russia.
The allies, however, have been in
formed as matter of courtesy of the
action of the United States.

Back to Belgium
Mike. Says the
Kind Rich Lady
(By Universal Service)

4 NEW YORK.-Poor mike Gil
hooly."
Five times he came to America
as a stowaway, and four times he
was sent back to Belgium, which had
been his home before the war in
which both his mother and father
lost their lives. The fifth time it
appeared that he would stay-that
he might even gain American citizen
ship.
But Wednesday that hope was lost
to him
Mrs. Marion o. Curry, who on
Mixes fifth attempt to invade
America, posted bond of $500 with
the immigration authorities, pledg-
ing herself to support the fifteen
year old orphan for twelve months
and send him to school, has asked if
she could not be relieved of the lad
She wants him to be sent back to
Belgium. Why, it isn't known.
The authorities were forced to in
form her that his deportation is i'm
possible now, but that he may be sent
back If she pays his fare.
immigration officials are sincerely
sorry that Mike may be sent back.
They say he attached himself to
American doughboys during the war.

till all have had their physical and
mental spree and are ready for a
big rest and long siege of satisfac-
ton at their work. The Indian
dances and reclines by turns, but
fasts till it Is over, then rests until
the speeches are finished and the
banquet begins.
In 1919 the speaking was of a
patriotic order, mingled with what
white people would call farmers in
stitute work, dealing with the ad-
vantages to be gained by thrift, by
saving their breeding stock instead
of butchering it; by accommodating
capital in it's various forms and Sc
curing greater comforts for them
selves. There were some good farm
ers and successful stockmen among
the speakers, and there were Indian
soldiers in the audience bearing the
scars of bitter fighting in France in
the defense of their rights to live as
each nation, great or small, might
choose. The speeches were a fine
mixture of the white mans chau-
tauqua, his institutes and his SER
mons.
This office expresses the hope that
hereafter the men of Blackfoot will
confer with the leading Indians and
see that definite arrangements are
made far enough in advance to insure
proper and satisfactory observance
of the dances, the period of fasting
and the speeches and barbecue. The
white man can help the Indian in
these matters and it might be &C
ceptable to the Indians to have one
or two white speakers who are
versed in Indian lore and able to
give some practical suggestions that
will help them to preserve the best
of their ancient customs and adopt
some Of the least Objectionable parts
of the white mans way of living.

INDIAN SUN DANCE A
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AFFAIR

The annual sun dance Of the Sho-
shones and Bannocks on the Fort
Hall reservation was not conducted
this year quite according to the plans
of the leaders. 1t was to have COM
mence ON Thursday but some of the
people were engaged in haying and
other field work, and did not get
thru in time to attend the dance
Thursday as planned. They finished
the crops and the dance began on
Friday evening. They laid off Sun
day and continued Sunday night and
till about 10 o'clock Monday.
1t was designed that there should
be barbecue on Monday, the 9Th
of July, when the dancers were rest
ed from their devotions, but in this
there was a hitch. Blackfoot mer-
chants decided to observe July 4th
by closing on Monday, the 9Th, and
the Indians appointed to buy the
groceries, ice, lemons and other
things for the banquet could not get
the goods for Monday.
After they found their plans diss-
turbed, they arranged to buy goods
on Tuesday and hold the banquet on
Wednesday, which they did, but here
again there was some disappointment
because they made too long visit
and fasting between the dance and
the banquet, and some of the people
returned to their homes and missed
the banquet.
In 1919 things went along smooth
ly and it was source of much sat
isfaction The dance was orderly and
musical, and dancers followed their
desires as to time without Interrupt
ton. These are devotional affairs
and dancers concentrate their
thoughts and their determination on
being well and strong, pretty much
the same as Christian Scientists do
in their more quiet way of healing.
The old barbarous parts of the
dance the parts approaching tor
ture, have all been left out, and it
is about on par with the dances of
the white people in early days on
the frontier when they dance all
night and all day, stopping for
meals at intervals and going again

SAN FRANCISCO.-Failure Of the

the necessity for an intensive cam

been made committee of one to
salve the wounds of the McAdoo
forces, who took defeat so hard.
What Mr.. Cummings answer to
the Moore complaint was, is not of

no bones about their answer to the
cry.
