Washington, Aug. Amy persons
upon whom sentences of Imprisonment
have been passed in Ireland could be
conveyed to and detained in any prison
In the United Kingdom under the
terms of the Irish coercian bill which
passed the third reading last night in
the British house of commons, and the
text of which was made public here
yesterday by the British embassy. This
section of the measure applies to per-
sons already sentenced as well as those
who may hereafter be sentenced.
In general the new law may transfer
the duties of the crown tribunals in
Ireland to courts-martial. The military
courts also would take over the du-
ties of coroners and would have the
power to decide cases without jury.

To the Ladies of
Boomers Ferry

Our lady representative will call at
your home to show you what Calumet
Baking Powder will do for you and
why it is called the cooks best friend.
The demonstration and test she will
make are interesting and instructive.
The test is not comparative test of
the strength of different baking pow
ders because the water glass test does
not show the strength of baking pow
der that does not contain white of egg.
The test will, however, show the supe-
T1orlty of Calumet in other respects
and prove why it has solved all baking
problems in millions of homes Calumet
is not only the best leavening agent
possible to make, but it is sold at a
popular price and is therefore an i'm
portant factor in reducing the high
cost of living.
Calumet is manufactured in the
largest finest and most sanitary bak-
ing powder plant in the world, by ex-
perts who make nothing but baking
powder. Calumet received the highest
awards for purity and efficiency at
the worlds pure food expositions at
Chicago in 1907, and at Paris, France,
in 1912. Calumet contains only such
ingredients as have been officially APP
proved by the United States Food Au-
thorities
Calumet is guaranteed to be Pure in
the Can and Pure in the Baking. Try
Calumet once at our risk. Your money
back without question if it isn't the
best baking powder you ever used.
We thank you in advance for any c0ur-
tesies shown urrepresentatiyea nde ear
nestly solicit your valued patronage.

Pllials From War Stores
Long at Sea Come Ashore
Thousands of Containers of
Mysterious White Powders
Picked Up on Beaches

For the last two weeks there have
been cast up along the Jersey and
Long Island shores thousands of phials,
filled with white powder and her
metically sealed-phials which little
children have found explode like minia-
ture bombs when hurled against rock
The phials contain calcium hydro
chlorite, a preparation used during the
war to purify water
But tonight only half the mystery
was solved Having identified the
phials as part of those made in the
United States and incased in vacuum
tubes for shipment overseas for use
by individual soldiers, the authorities
are still unable to answer the question
OF how, more than two years after
fighting had ended, the phials came to
be washed ashore at summer resorts.
The most logical conclusion, that
cases containing tie water purifier had
been hurled overheard or that a ship
bearing them overseas had been sunk
or this coast, met no support from
army transportation officers here. The
only theory substituted was that mys-
terious ocean currents had brought
back to these shores, after two years,
phials lost in the torpedoing of some
transport on the other side of the At
lantic.

thing they possibly could to interfere
with the signing Of my petition.
Thousands of my supporters were told
that they could not sign for Governor
Smith unless they signed for my op-
ponent, Mr. Walker, at the same time
This mad attempt to keep me from en-
tering the primaries has signally
failed. They will also fail to per-
suade the intelligent enrolled Demo
Gratis why they should hand over to
Mr.. Murphy the privilege of selecting
candidate for United States Senator
with Instructions that they must vote
for no one else.
There are two kinds of organiza-
ton Democrats. Both believe in the
necessity of organization. The one
believes in organization to help and
not hinder the enrolled voter in ex-
pressing decision regarding nomina-
tions. l am organization Democrat of
this type. The other type regards Mr..
Murphys will as the final word regard
ing the Democratic party. Against this
power which betrays the principle of
the Democratic party l most strenu-
ousiy object and will do everything in
my power to fight it."

Ferry s'Excursionist'' Fined
Staten Island Court Rules Pas
0engArs Must Leave Boat

hound trip excursions across the
Bay without leaving the municipal
ferry boats at the Staten Island term
inal were legally condemney yesterday
IN decision by Judge Mullen, in the
City Magistrates Court at Stapleton.
he held that passengers must leave the
boats promptly on their arrival at the
terminal. Thousands of sweltering
city dwellers have been in the habit of
making two or three round trips with
out leaving the boat.
This practice, however, led to the pre-
empting of seats by the excursionists to
the exclusion of regular ferry passen-
gers and the loss of some fares to the
city: Commissioner Grover "A. Whalen
OF the Department of Plant and Struc-
lures, promulgated the rule compelling
passengers to leave the boats at the
terminals. Theodore A. Prince, a pas
senger, refused to leave the ferrybo oat
at st. George, questioning the reason
noleness of the rule, and was summoned
to the magistrates court. Judge Mullen
held that the rule was a reasonable one
and Mr.. Prince was fined 81.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune


BALTIMORE. Aug. ia commit
tee of representative negroes. indig-
nant at the refusal of Republican
leaders to recognize them in patronage
met last night at Trinity Baptist
Church and nominated w. Ashbie
Hawkins, negro attorney, as a candi-
date for the United States Senate.
Attorney Hawkins will compete in
the election next November as an in
depent Republican, opposing O. E.
Weller, Republican, and John Walter
Smith, Democrat. The forty or fifty
tion declared they represented an over
whelming proportion of the negro vote
in this city
Under the state election law it will
be necessary for the committee to get
the signatures of 500 voters to the
petition for nomination, and it must
be filed with the Secretary of State.
No difficulty in obtaining the sigma
lures will be experienced, the commit
tee declared.
They formed the Independent Re-
publican League, elected officers and
designated an executive committee to
prosecute vigorous campaign.
Spokesman for the Committee of
Forty asserted their candidate would
not be able to defeat his rivals, but
that if they could line up the negro
vote they could insure the defeat of
Mr.. Weller, whom they excoriated as
an migrate" and IAN unworthy repre-
sentative Of the Republican party"
The committee unanimously adopted
resolutions in which they say that to
vote for Mr.. Weller would be to GIN
dorse the unrighteous insult to the
black group of Republicans" who have
been denied their rights by unworthy
evasion and crooked devices"
The negroes declare Mr.. Weller "the
surpeme representative of the Lily
White feeling within the Republican
party"
The negroes have their guns trained
especially on Mayor Broening. They
condemn him for his failure to give
them positions in the municipal gov
ernment, which, they feel, they deserve

rolled up in the 14th and 18th wards,

Still More Increases i'm
Milk Prices Forecast
Prospective Advance of Freight
Rate Among Factors Likely
to Raise Cost

The proposed increase of 20 per cent
in the freight rate on fluid milk, now
being considered by government and
railroad officials, will add burden Of
many millions in increased costs to
the milk distributors, according to H.
A. Cronk, icepresident of the Bor-
deus Farm Products Company.
Cronk said yesterday that the pro-
posed increase would add between
s75O.O00 and $l,000,000 to the freight
costs of the Borden company alone.
Between one-fourth and one-third of a
cent thus would be added to the cost
of each quart of milk TO the distribu-
tor, he said. He declared that milk
dealers already were operating on a
