|SAYS SALVATION SUE
MUST LOWER SKIRT
To retain MODESTy
fBy Associated Press

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 30.-The skirts
of Salvation Army lassies must not be
more than seven inches above the
street level, according to an order is
sued here today by Commissioner
William Peart, leader OF the organiza-
ton in Is midwest states.
"A few years ago we were trying to
persuade our women TO wear them
shorter" said Commissioner Peart in
commenting upon the order. 1.-THE
skirt that trails in the dirt gathering
germs is a menace to its wearer's
health; but the SKIRT that flaps around
the knees is pretty much of a menace
to the modesty of the woman who
wears it. The skirt is about the only
thing which doesn't appear TO be com
ing down these days and a back TO
normally drive on the too short dress
will do lot to protect the morals OF
the rising generation"
Commissioner Peart stated that the
order would affect every Salvation
Army member in II countries and
colonies where the organization oper
ates with the possible exception of
China and Japan where most of the
women wear trousers.

Hinkle Says Too
Rough for Him in
Columbus, Ga.
(BY Associated Preasl

| Altoona, Pa, June Oh. Gordon
Hinkle, former city manager of CO.
llumbus, Ga, yesterday stated that
the reason he was forced to leave
that city recently was because he was
handicapped by the police depart
ment over which he had no control
and that politicians and bootleggers
were against him.
Hinkle arrived at his home here
last night. He said that when he as
sumed the city managership of Co
lumbus he found an overdraft in the
general fund of $149,O00 and $4,000
of unpaid bills. He added that owing
to lax bookkeeping some of the bills
were paid two and three times.
All forces We're combined against
him, Hinkle declared, and he could
not obtain support from the commits
sion. He said he left when the COM
mission decided to oust him, although
he had told the mayor of Columbus
previously that he was intending TO
leave.

'FLORAHOME BONDS
ORDERED ISSUED
AND PUT ON SALE
Issue Voted Last Year,
But Was Withheld
From Market
100000 FOR ROADS
Means That Countrywide
Plans Will Be Serious
ly Affected

Issuance of $4,000 worth of bonds
for the Florahome special road dis.
trict. in accordance with the election
held last year, was ordered by resolu-
tion of the board of county commits
sioners yesterday, and the clerk in
structed to prepare the necessary
bonds and to advertise their sale, bids
for same to be opened on July IL.
Announcement of the action of the
board set at reast any discussion as
to whether or not it would be pos
sible to get the Florahome district
to come in on the general bond issue
for the county, and also seriously dis
rupts tentative plans which the spe-
cial committee has been working on.
1t is known that the Florahome dis
trict has been opposed, at least by
some taxpayers, to entering into a
general county program, unless the
road into the western part of the
county went out that way to Melrose.
This was impracticable, in the view
of the committee, as it did not give
the county connection with state
highway No. 2, which is most vital to
the county's road scheme.
G. c. Hardy, Mr.. Bohannon and
Mr.. Baldwin, of the Florahome dis
trict, are made trustees for the bonds,
and will have the disbursement of
the funds in charge as soon as the
bonds are sold. 1t is believed that
they will bring par, as this is a pros
porous section of the county, and
embraces some of the best land in
Putnam's boundaries.

Socialist Leader
Target of Acid
Throwing Youth,
Dy Associated PressI

Kassel, Germany, June 6.-Phlllpp
Scheidemann, German socialist lead
err and former secretary for foreign
affairs, who was attacked by a
youth yesterday while on holiday
near Wilhelmshohe, had fully recov-
cred today. His assailant employed
prussic acid, and the escape of the
socialist leader from death is attrib-
uetd to the fact that the acid, which
is highly volatile, was discharged at
long range and in the open air, there
by making it partially ineffective.
Nevertheless, Scheidemann was
rendered unconscious after he had
fired two random shots at the man,
who, reading the railway station
through the woods, took train in
the direction of Wabern.
Herr Scheidemann was accompa-
MED by his daughter and grand

cious Expenditure of
Road Funds

A committee representing the
Putnam County Auto club and back
ed up by the Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs, the Chamber of Commerce and
the American Legion, appeared be-
fore the county commissioners yes
terday and urged the appointment of
competent road engineer to take
charge of the roads and bridges of
the county, giving him entire control
and holding him responsible for the
results attained. Chairman Glynn
promised that the board will give the
matter serious consideration and de-
eide at one of the meetings to be held
this week.
Spokesman for the committee were
Goode Guerry, Howell Davis, Ed Ear
nest and Frank Wagner, in an en-
deavor to indicate to the commits
sioners the sentiment of very great
majority of the taxpayers of the
county. 1t was pointed out that the
commissioners are not asked to in
crease the amount of expenditure on
the county roads, but are asked to
turn over the ,expending of funds
usually available to one man, answer
able to the board, eliminating politics
from alleged road repairing, and de-
manding a dollars worth of roads
for a dollar in money, Necessity for
taking a stitch in time to save nine
on roads already constructed was
also pointed out to the commission
ers.
While the committee was waiting
to be heard the board was listening
for a half hour to the discussion of
details of bridge to cost about $500,
and finally had to refer it back to
someone for further plans and fig
ures. This was pointed to as one of
the many vexations the board would
be relieved of, and as indicative of
the money that might be saved.
Mr.. Guerry read to the board a re-
port of the constructing of clay roads
of standard specifications in Lake
county under the county engineer
plan at a cost of $4,000 per mile,
which was $2,7OO under the lowest
bid for the same work. He also sub
mitted to the board the system of
vouchers and reports employed in
other counties where the county en-
gineer plan has been adopted.

0 nee QUEEN OF
COMIC OPERA IS
DEAD FROM FALL
Lillian Russell P a S S e S
Away at Home of Her
Fourth Husband

Pittsburg, June 6.-Mr. Lilliar
Russell Moore, whose death was an
nounced early today at her home ir
this city, had been ill for several
weeks, following an accident suffer.
ed while on shipboard when she was
returning to this country from Eu-
rope. 1t was believed, however, by
her physicians last Saturday, that
she had passed the crisis and that she
would recover. She was conscious
until the end, which came at 2:2O
o'clock.
Mrs. Moore, who was the wife of
Alexander P Moore, publisher of The
| iPittsburg Leader, later suffered re-
lapse and yesterday afternoon was so
i'll that members of the family were
summoned to the bedside. Her ply
sicians, however, refused to give up
hope and early in the evening were
so confident that she would survive
that they arranged for a conference
to be held here this morning with
DR.. John B. Deaver, of Philadelphia.
The accident, which DR.. Schilldeck-
er, one of her physicians, said was
the primary cause of her illness and
death, occurred when she was vio-
lently thrown on the ship during a
storm. The effects of the injury
were not Immediately serious, nev-
ertheless, and although she steadily
failed in health after her arrival
home, even those most closely asso-
ciated with her were not aware of
the decline. Mrs. Moore's trip to Eu-
rope was undertaken at the request
of Secretary of Labor James ]. Da-
Wis for the purpose of making an in
tensive study among prospective en-
igrants to the United States.
Mrs. Moore, who was very well
known throughout the country for
her interest in civic matters, was in
great demand as a public speaker
and only a short time prior to her
death filled a number of such en-
gagements. She was actively inter
ested in civic affairs in this city and
was leader in women's movements
In addition to her husband there
were present at her bedside during ,
her last moments her daughter, Mrs
Dorothy Calbit and her niece, Mrs.
Mildred A. Martin. She is also sur
vived by two sisters, Mrs. Suzanne
Westford Allen, of New York city, |
and Mrs. Hattie Leonard Colburn, of !
Schenectady, N. Y. The funeral will
probably be held Thursday at Trinity |
church, with burial in this city.
Lillian Russell, "the queen of |
opera" in private life Mrs.
P. Moore, wife of the edit
or and publisher of The Pittsburg
(Pa.) Leader, for more than thirty |
years starred in various operatic
roles in the United States and Eng
land. She was one of the most pop !,
llar singing actresses on the Ameri-
,an stage. Still famed for youthful
ness and beauty after she retired
from the stage, she toured her native
land with lecture on show to live
a hundred years."
Miss Russell had been thrice mar
ried before becoming Mrs. Moore, /,

vorced in 1884; second, to Edward !
