Sn,ugglers Die as
Dyes Concealed in
Clothes Reach Blood

Narva, Aug, l5.-This is reputed
to be the chief center of the vast
smuggling operations which so on
between Russia and the outer world.
So we looked all over town for the
headquarters of this business. No
body knew anything about snug
Cling until we met keen German
in one of the shops.
Yes, I've been smuggling, but
no more for me-" the German said.
1--WE lost lot OF money, and it
is no good. | hired 10 men to carry
eye over the border. They were to
carry it in the lining of their suits.
1t meant big money in Moscow.
Il ordered the dyes from Ger
many in crystals, but instead they
sent it powdered. Nevertheless, the
men packed it away in their clothes.
Nov, all my 10 men had been
suffering with 'cooties.' The bites
LETT small openings in their skins,
through which the dyes penetrated
into their blood. They died of blood
poisoning before they go, across the
border. / lost all my dies"

Woman May Die
From Injuries
In York Crash
Police Seek Second of Tw>
Men In Auto Responsible
For Collision-Bottlcs
OF Booze Broken.

York, Neb., Aug. lS.-Bert Har>
ris and George Uland CT Benedict,
who are out on bond pending the in
vestigation of the death OF John
Oakes, near Crete, week ago, fig
ured in an automobile accident at
the outskirts of this city yesterday
afternoon. They ran into all auto
mobile driven by c. +. Riley, 4357
Mascn street, Omaha.
Both cars were badly damaged
and Mrs. Riley is in critical condi-
ton from bruises sustained by the
collision. Mr.. Riley was only
slightly injured. Eye witnesses OF
the accident claim that Uland and
Harris had a number OF bottles OF
whisky in their possession which
they broke over the wreckage and
then came into town.
On arriving in town they secured
a car to take them to Fairnont and
Sheriff Jay Miller and Chief OF Po-
lice Lee Carey started in pursuit,
beating the fugitives to their destl-
nation. 1t is thought that friends
of the pair concealed them from the
officers. This morning authorities
here received word that Harris was
taken into custody at MilEgan.
Uland is still at large.

tomobile tires, American manufac-

Roads Ordered to
Cut Stock Rates
Reduction of 20 Per Cent
Recommended by the
/. C. C..

Washington, Aug. 15.-Freig h
rates on live stock in Western and
NJ un tain Pacific territory were
found by the Interstate Commerce
commission today to be not unjust
and unreasonable but the commission
suggested to the railroads that pres
cnt rates should be reduced volun.
tarily to 80 per cent of the present
rates, the reduction to not be less
than So cents 100 pounds. Rates
as suggested may be published to
become effective on not less than
five days notice, the commission
said.
Emergency reductions granted
last May still are in effect, the COM
mission said, and there is nothing
to show that they materially in
creased traffic or that present rates
have appreciably reduced the move
n1ent of live stock which must be
marketed as it natures.
There has been some reduction in
movement since 1918 and 1919, when
the movement was greatest" the
commission said, "but for 1921,
judging by the figures for the first
four or FIVE months, it promises to
equal or exceed that prior to the
war"
The producers contended that re-
duced rates would stimulate the in
dustry and help save it from ruin.
The commission indicated that it
proposed reductions on this basis.
"We have always recognized the
right of the carriers to so adapt
their rates and practices to the
needs of the localities and industries
which they serve as to promote the
welfare of shipper and carrier alike
where that can be done within the
limits of reasonableness and without
the undue prejudice and unjust dis
ordinations which the law prohibits,
the commission says.

Demos Chairman
Attacks Program
For Tax Revision
White Declares Sudden
Change Has Added Confu.
sion and Uncertainty to
Governments Situation.

Washington, Aug. l5.-The ad-
ministration tax revision program
was attacked in statement pub
lished today by Chairman White OF
the democratic national committee,
who declared that business men
would not be fooled by the methods
adopted by the republicans 'in order
to make fat show OF economy"
"The sudden change in the repub-
lican tax bill program decided upon
at the recent White House confer
ence." said Mr.. White, has only
added confusion and uncertainty to
the governments fiscal situation and
business and financial circles, gener-
ally are surprised and disappointed
at President Harding's reputation
of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon as his fiscal adviser and his rec
ognition instead of Chairman Ford
ney of the ways and means conf
mittee as the financial guide of his
administration.
Chairman Fordney, who wrote
the wonderful tariff bill of which the
senate is expected to leave only the
enacting clause, came to the political
rescue of the administration and
announced plan to reduce taxes
regardless of the amount OF money
needed to meet expenditures, which
would create deficit to be taken
care of by borrowing the money,
thus increasing the public debt, but,
as the optimistic Mr.. Fordney saw
it, his plan would make it appear
that the party was keeping its cam
paign pledge to reduce taxes and
was making grand record of econ-
orny" --..

Police Grapple With
Youth on Bridge Top
325 Feet Above River

New York, Aug. l5.-On the
small flagpolc platform of a tower
of the Williamsburg bridge, SIS feet
above the East river, two policemen
grappled with youth Sunday while
hundreds of persons stood breath
less on river craft, the bridge road
way, and adjacent streets. Subdued
after brief struggle, the youth
who gave his name as Joseph Her
zog, was carried down a narrow
spiral stairway on the back of one
of the policemen and sent to Belle
vue hospital for observation.
Climbing unobserved to the plat
form, 230 feet above the roadway,
Herzog attracted the attention OF
passersby by gesticulating wildly
and cutting capers. The two police
men went up after him and he
strongly resisted their efforts to
take him down. The three swayed
back and forth in imminent danger
of death before the open mouthed
spectators below.
Herzog was then seen to fall to
the platform with the policemen on
top of him, and few minutes later
he was being carried down the
stairs. The young mans relatives
told the police that the youth had
threatened to commit suicide a few
days ago.

ing on the Mortgage" bill in Tren-

slider ways and means of clearing the
city of these pests" Last night

ter to their attention and practically

he thought 1t a YER excellent idea
and urged immediate action. In the
past the city has always had a dog
catcher during the hot months of the
summer. but this year they intend
getting an early tart.
