Saccharine In Russia

Moscow, Nov. 14.-Saccharlne IS
the article most generally trafflcked
IN here. As sugar sells on the mar
kets for the equivalent of nearly 81

Saccharine is the universal sweeten-
ing. It is the pet article for SNUG
glers.
Customs examiners are not able to
check the illicit trade because Of the
ease with which millions and billions

That the boys of Alexandria are
appreciative of the work which the
Y. NJ. c. A.. is doing for them was
abundantly evidenced by the enthG-
siasm which they showed at the

them at the Chamber of Commerce
last night. All "Y' boys were invited
TO attend on the condition that each
boy should bring his father and thus
ret better acquainted with each other
and with the work for boys which is
now so many sided. 1t was very graft
fying to have over twenty fathers ac-
cept this invitation and come out with
their sons to enjoy 4 good supper and
an evenings entertainment together.

here, were dismissed in police court
late today. Many members of the
elderly pastors congregation crowd

Dr. Ridley denied Mrs. Hamilton's
charges-that he tried to put his arm
around her as they talked on her front
fed she was on her porch, hardly
eight feet away,-at the time, and de-
clared there was nothing to the
charges De. Ridley said he had gone
to the Hamilton porch at the request
of Mrs. Hamilton. who said a work
man on a nearby building had tried
to fiirt with her.
Mrs. Hamilton repeated her charges
in police court, and DIR. Ridley admit
ted that last night. when her husband
called on him for an apology. he had
told Hamilton:

DR.. Ridley said he had nothing to
apologize to the HamiltonS for, but
that for the remarks he made to>Ham-

the people of my church." Hamilton
was said to have threatened him with
a pistol, but neighbors interviewed.
In testifying this afternoon Mrs
Hamilton declared she had not ink

her in swing and began playing
with her baby. Then, she said. fol-

Ing statement explaining the laying

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has during the past several weeks
made considerable reductions in its
forces largely in the maintenance de-
partments: as is customary at this
tinuation of the decline in franc
and consequent lesser use Of power
and the growing number Of idle cars.
IL is possible now to make further
reductions in the shops, consequently
an order has been issued suspending
oItfra&ons in some of the larger
shops. where general repair and re-
building work is carried on. While
following the five days notice. the
suspension Is for an indefinite period,
IL Is the expectation that work will
be resumed within a limited time.
Work in the Baltimore and Ohio
shops has been continuous now for
LONG time. and il is felt that the
total suspension for a few days would
be move generally acceptable than
the large permanent reductions in
forces which the volume Of traffic
and lessor demands on equipment
would justify. 1t Is understood that
this temporary furlough will involve
between 1000 and 5000 men over the
entire system, of whom about 2.70O
are located at the Mount Clare shops,
at Baltimore.
Under present conditions the ut
