How some of the small boys who live along the wharves in seaport towns will envy the accomplished gen­ tleman who as an expert is testing the tobacco to be purchased for the navy! If Betsy Ross didn't make the first flag the story is about as harmless a piece of fiction as ever crept into his­ tory and we see no reason for taking up any valuable time proving that jt Isn't so. A Virginia lady has ju3t obtained a divorce from a bogus "lord" who has several other wives scattered through­ out the country. In our opinion he has reason to suspect that she did not marry him for love alone. Uniontown, Pa.--One man dead and 25 others seriously injured, some of them fatally, are the results of a riot early Sunday between Italians and Slavs at Gates, one of the H. C. Frick Coke company plants, near Mason- town. All the men are foreigners. There have been factional differences be­ tween the two races for a long time. Saturday was pay day at the large plant and until after midnight a large quantity of intoxicants was con­ sumed. Jacob Furance, leader of the Italian faction, went to the gate of a Slav boarding house and defied its 25 inmates. Immediately Furance and Alexander Molanski, " leader of the Slavs, were engaged in a fight. Antillo Ronco, another Italian, went to the as­ sistance of the former and this was ihe signal for a general fight. Revol­ vers began to crack and Ronco fell dead, struck, it is said, by a misdi­ rected shot fired by Furance. The in­ juries of the 25 men consist of bullet wounds through the body, arms and legs. The most serious wounds were received by the Italians. A squad of the Pennsylvania state constabulary was soon on the scene and 19 of the rioters were arrested and taken to Masontown. Members of both factions then surrounded the jail, demanding that their companions be liberated. During the night the jail was guarded and Sunday the men were brought to Uniontown on a spe­ cial street car. MARINES BITTEN BY MAD DOG. Twelve Men Brought Home Isthmus for Treatment. from One of the lady lecturers declares that men who wear starched collars are fools. But would the lady lectur­ er approve if the mags4 were to go around with their fmns cut low or their arms showing through open-work sleeves? A New York landlord has reduced his rent because of hard times. The men think him a good landlord? but the women are withholding judgment until they find out what he intends to do about papering the front parlor and the bkck bedroom next fall. The Master Car Builders' associa­ tion which has just closed a session at Atlantic City, adopted a report made by a committee after careful in­ vestigation and urging numerous im­ provements designed to secure better ventilation of passenger cars. The de­ mand for fresh air and more of it Is becoming insistent. A young man in Kentucky com­ plained that a girl had imprisoned him against his will in her parents' home for four days and forced a ring on his finger in attempts to get him to marry her. Apparently, there are getting to be strenuous times this particular leap year, but masculine gallantry should not force lone femininity to such ex- tiemes. New York.--Hurrying to Washing­ ton, where they are to receive the pas- teur treatment as a precaution against hydrophobia, a party of 12 men, mem­ bers of the United States marine corps and victims of the bites of a rabid dog on the Isthmus of Panama, arrived here Sunday on the Panama liner Finance. The party comprised ten pri­ vates of the marine corps in charge of a sergeant, and Maj. G. H. Russell. The party comprised ten privates of the marine corps in charge of a ser­ geant, and Maj. G. H. Russell. All of them had been bitten by the rabid ani­ mal. The dog was a small collie, left by tourists at Colon. It drifted into the marines' encampment on July 21 and bit Maj. Russell and 11 of the men before it was shot. An examination revealed the fact that the dog was in­ fected with rabies. F. DORR SUSPENDS BUSINESS. The discontinuance of the old Ful­ ton street line of horse-cars in New York city was chronicled by a news­ paper correspondent with an amusing comment. "In some ways." he said, "this line was the best in the city. Wor one thing, it was entirely destitute of the straphanging evil. In the first place, nobody would trust the straps, •nd in the second place, most of the fntfrons^ralked." Members of a Chicago ministers' meeting were solemnly warned by one of their number against the demoral­ izing influences of summer hotels and the dangers incident to vacations gen­ erally. Then the meeting adjourned until September with this program: "Vacation Experiences and Fish Stories," scheduled. When those flBh stories have been told that sermon on the bad effect of vacations may need to be repeated. Prominent Broker Closes His Many Offices. San Francisco.--Frederick Dorr, a broker with offices in this city, LOB Angeles, Salt Lake City, Butte, Mont., and Spokane, Wash., a member of the New York stock exchange and the Chicago board of trade, telegraphed Tuesday from New York to his local manager to suspend business. Lack of patronage, due to dull times, is the cause given for the suspension- He maintained expensive offices in Los Angeles and this city, with leased wires connecting them with eastern cities, Dorr wired from Chicago: "No one has lost any money, or will. I am not trying to sell my mem­ bership in any exchange. They are absolutely clear, and no money is be­ ing borrowed on them." Dorr is well known socially on -the Pacific coast. The new Cunard line steamships, Luisitania and Mauretania, built under an arrangement with the British gov­ ernment by which the company is to receive an annual subsidy of $750,000 if the ships maintain an average speed of 24 knots an hour in fair weather have proved their ability to keep up the required speed. The Brit­ ish government pays the subsidy to en­ courage the building of fast ships, which may be used by the navy in case of need. Americans Win in Paris. Paris.--The last day of the special athletic games brought great success to the visiting Americans, who cap­ tured a majority of the events. .Wil­ liam F. Hamilton, Chicago A. A., won the 100-meter dash from scratch. His time was 11 seconds. H. L. Trube, N. Y. A. C., took the 1,500-meter run in four minutes 12 seconds. E. T. Cook, Cornell, won the pole vault. The 400-meter flat race went to J. C. Car­ penter, Cornell, who negotiated the distance in 50 seconds flat. H. A. Gid- ney, Boston A. A., captured the high jump. After all the trouble and publicity attending the search, discovery and transportation here of the body of wPaul Jones it is hardly creditable to the name of the nation to have his body lying neglected without honor­ able sepulture because there is lack of money for constructing the perman^ ent crypt. This country is rich enough to complete the task of honoring the man whose services meant so much in the war for our independence. To rele­ gate his body to the same obscurity and neglect from which it *as*h>scued would be a national disgrace. Lyncher Killed; Negro Hanged. Pensacola, Fla.--At the cost of one man killed and many wounded, some of whom will die, a mob at 11 o'clock Wednesday night succeeded in taking Lee Shaw, a negro, from the Pensa­ cola jail and lynching him In the pub­ lic square of the city.

The gentlemen who have been In consultation with me all unite in my opinion that in the interest of the impartial and effective administration of our laws, such ac­ tion on the part of the government is imperatively demanded by the cir­ cumstances of the case and the pos­ sible consequences if this opinion should stand as authority without question by the government. To this end an application for a reargument of the case and a motion for a modifi­ cation of the opinion will be submit­ ted to the circuit court of appeals on behalf of the United States at the earliest possible moment. Other ap­ propriate steps will be taken after­ ward, their character to be determined by the court's action upon this appli­ cation." % HOOJEVeiT £*yan FRFCBATT p CHICAGO.
