RESCUED FROM MOB BENT ON LYNCHING`

James MITCHELL Struggling In Grasp Of Crowd Of Men When Police Arrive

MADE DISLOYAL REMARKS

Thrown Out of Saloon, Beaten And Nearly Hurled From Railroad Bridge

His unpatriotic remarks having almost cost him his life, James MITCHELL of Oella, Md., paid a fine of $51.45 yesterday to Justice TORMOLLAN in the Southwestern Police Court.

MITCHELL faced the Magistrate on a technical charge of disturbing the peace. The trouble started when he ordered a drink in the saloon of Edward HOLLE, 3253 Frederick avenue, and was refused because he already had absorbed more "wet" goods than he could carry with safety. Then he made a remark derogatory to the Government and cast reflections upon the motive in sending soldiers to France.

Ejected From Saloon

Before he had a chance to say more he was struck by a bystander and the bartender hurried him out of the place to avoid further trouble. MITCHELL was followed by several men who had been thoroughly aroused by his talk and were inclined to him additional punishment.

The men were at his heels when he approached the Pennsylvania railroad bridge at Frederick and Caton avenues and an effort was made to throw him from the structure. MITCHELL is 33 years old and of heavy build and he put up a fight. While the men were engaged in a scuffle on the bridge a hurry call was sent to the Southwestern Police Station. The patrol wagon was sent to the scene.

Cries of "Hang Him!"

When the police reserves arrived MITCHELL was in the midst of a score of men, some of whom had a rope. There were cries of "Hang him!" as the police drove up. The crowd surrendered MITCHELL to the policemen without resistance.

At the hearing yesterday MITCHELL denied voicing un-American sentiments, but three men—Frank DURBEN, 3354 Strickland street; Charles E. MORNINGSTAR, 1102 South Eutaw street, and Benjamin JENKINS, 3161 Stafford street—testified that he did. MITCHELL said he was born in this country. He makes $18 a week working as a laborer and told Justice TORMOLLAN that he had not bought a Liberty Bond or a War Savings Stamp.

BROTHER IS FORGIVING

Harry BOWEN Pays Fine of John Who Tried To Throw Him Out

The fact that his big brother John wanted to toss him out the second-story window of their home made no difference to Harry C. BOWEN when the two were fined. $6.45 by Justice BEACH in Southern Police Court yesterday for disturbing the peace. Harry even loaned John his last penny with which to pay his fine.

According to the testimony, several scores of persons early yesterday were attracted by the sight of the two brothers struggling by an open window at 522 South Sharp street. John, who is 43 years old, had already expressed the desire to pitch Harry, two years his junior, down into the street. He had almost gained his point, it is said, and the crowd below was watching with breathless interest when Patrolman CRONE stopped the contest.

The brothers declare that they had had a "little argument," but that there were no "hard feelings."

AHRING, 2705 Harlem avenue, and a member of the Three Hundred and Thirteenth Regiment, was wounded in a recent battle on the western front. Young AHRING was shot in the hand and it is believed that he will soon have recuperated to go back to the trenches.

The first information that the parents of the young man had that he has been wounded was contained on a card sent them by a Red Cross nurse. Yesterday a younger brother of the soldier went to Washington and he was told by the War Department heads that his kin had been shot in the hand.

SAT UNDER TREE; SHOT

Charles PUGH Was Talking To Woman When Fired Upon By Stranger

While sitting under a tree with a woman near Aberdeen early yesterday Charles PUGH, 38 years old, was shot in the left leg by an unidentified white man.

PUGH, according to his story to Sergeant GLENN of the Northeastern district, met the woman Saturday. As they sat under the tree the man approached and drew a revolver.

"I have been looking for you for some time," he remarked. With that he shot at PUGH three times in rapid succession. Two of the shots missed their mark and the third took effect in the left leg.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press)

Odenton, Md., Aug. 25—In the absence of Lieutenant HEWITT, chaplain United States Army, in France, the army base hospital at Camp Meade is under the acting chaplain of the camp, Rev. Dr. James M. MAGRUDER, who directs the work of a body of civilian chaplains, including ministers of the Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist churches, in the hospital. Dr. MAGRUDER’s home is at Hockley Hall in Anne Arundel county, where he took up his residence four years ago. He was made civilian chaplain at Camp Meade in March, and when the Seventy-ninth Division went overseas was appointed acting chaplain by the authorities. Dr. MAGRUDER was born in Mississippi, and before removing to Maryland was rector of churches in Mississippi, South Carolina and Kentucky. He graduated from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi, where his father, William Howard MAGRUDER, was head of the department of English for 30 years, and from the Theological Seminary of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. Dr. MAGRUDER has been mentioned for the vacant presidency of Washington College, at Chestertown.

PUMMELS WIFE’S FRIEND

Enraged at the sight of a man with his wife, Charles WALLACE, 55 years old, 527 Columbia avenue, set out to "clean up" the suitor on Lexington street, near Park avenue, Saturday. And he had pretty well accomplished his purpose when Patrolman Peter COGHLAN, who was directing traffic nearby, was called and arrested WALLACE and John S. JONES, 36 years old, 675 West Fayette street. WALLACE was fined $3.45 by Justice DAWKINS in the central Police Court today on the charge of being disorderly.

According to WALLACE, JONES formerly boarded at the Columbia avenue address, and was forced to move because of his alleged attentions toward WALLACE’s wife. JONES was in Police Court yesterday on the charge of annoy [sic] WALLACE’s wife.

ARREST LUTHERVILLE WAG

SCHOTT Had Time Of His Life Yesterday Playing With Semaphore

With time hanging heavy on his hands yesterday, William A. SCHOTT, 36 years old, of Lutherville, was suddenly obsessed with a bright idea. He spied the traffic semaphore at Charles street and Mount Royal avenue.

He grasped the handles that turn the sign and started to direct traffic. The fact that not a vehicle was in sight did not worry him in the least and he was having the time of his life when Sergeant ROBINSON and Patrolman GUNTROM appeared on the scene.

They watched him for a time and finally took him to the Central Police Station, where a charge of disorderly conduct was laid against him. When arraigned before Justice DAWKINS he said he was only "fooling," and upon his promise not to repeat the offense was dismissed.

JEWS DEDICATE THEIR NEW SCHOOL

Procession And Special Services Marked The Transfer Of Sacred Books

The dedication of the new building of the Chevra Yeshiva Machzike Hadath, which was founded by Chief Rabbi R. G. ZUCKER for the promotion of higher Jewish learning, was the occasion of great rejoicing yesterday on the part of all Jews in Baltimore, and especially those in the eastern section of the city. Although the dedication exercises really began on Friday and will continue until next Friday, the main ceremonies, which have been looked forward to for several months by those interested in the work; took place yesterday.

The new synagogue is located on the northeast corner of Fayette and Aisquith streets and was formerly an old church building. Friday marked the general opening, when the first services were held. A musical program was arranged for the evening and a number of Jewish hymns were sung.

Saturday the 75 students of the rabbinical school took their examinations, which were witnessed by visiting rabbis and cantors. This school is the only one of its kind in the city and is the second to be founded in the country. The first was established in New York. The purpose is to promote higher Jewish learning and education, and it requires 15 years to complete the course. All Jews who wish to become rabbis must first pursue their studies in this school, where the Talmud, the Jewish Bible, is taught.

Procession To Be Held

The ceremonies yesterday opened with a procession from the old synagogue at 1737 East Baltimore street to the new quarters of the congregation. Promptly at noon the transfer of the contents of the old building to the new began. A band escorted the procession, which carried the scrolls of the law, the most sacred books of the Hebrew faith. When the line reached the new synagogue it was met at the door by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel LEIBOWITZ and their son Jacob LEIBOWITZ, who have been the chief contributors to the fund which has made possible the remodeling of the old church.

Found Unconscious With Wound In Head

Milan HALUCK In Serious Condition At Hospital

While The Police Seek Russian Visitor

Unconscious and suffering with a severe scalp wound, a man believed to be Milan HALUCK, 38 years old, was found in his room at 214 West Camden street Saturday night. He is now in University Hospital, where his condition is regarded as serious.

Police of the city are on the lookout for a Russian who is said to have had a quarrel with HALUCK earlier in the day.

HALUCK was discovered by other occupants of the house, who notified Sergeant SCHULTE of the Southern district. They said HALUCK had entertained the Russian in his room and that frequently during the early hours of the evening loud talking was heard.

No one seemed to know just when the visitor left the house, but shortly after 10 o’clock some one went to call HALUCK and found him lying on the floor.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE AT 40

Six Years Ago, Isaac MASO, A Russian Immigrant Didn’t Know Word Of English

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Six years ago Isaac MASO came to America from Russia. He knew not a word of English, but he was determined to learn—and his schooling had been scanty.

The other day MASO, who is 40, took pride in showing to his friends a diploma which he had just received at Central High School, stating that he had completed the four-year high school course. He told of his school experience in perfect English.

MASO, upon receiving the educational document, went to school headquarters and discussed with Assistant School Superintendent CASTLE the idea of taking a course in chemistry at Ohio State University.

"MASO will take the university course," said CASTLE. "He finished his four-year high-school course in three years. At the same time he supported his wife and family by working nights. He is an example of the type of ambitious man which Cleveland schools are glad to serve. There is no reason why any man or woman who wants more education can’t obtain it, regardless of age.

Sergeants STOUGHTON and STONE are shown in the picture holding the cups which their companies won for collecting the largest sum of money at the recent benefit staged at River View Park by the soldiers of Camp Holabird. Company No. 3, in charge of Sergeant STONE, was credited with $1966.58, while Company No. 8, under the direction of Sergeant STOUGHTON, gathered in $1583.36. Nine companies took part in the contest and a very tidy sum was realized.

The Evolution Of The American Eagle

The American Eagle, the emblem of brotherhood, true democracy and equality, is at last aroused. His rights have been trespassed on, his peace violated. Here is America’s fighting bird stripped for action. The new De Haviland plane and the liberty motor, both of which have won on their merits, are types of American ingenuity. The De Haviland, equipped with the new motor, recently flew in great numbers over the battle lines of the Hun and left behind not ruin and devastation, but the everlasting impression of what thousands of these American eagles can eventually achieve.

NAMING DESTROYER

Philippine Patriot Honored; Other War Heroes Are Remembered

(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 25—The destroyer donated to the United States Navy by the Philippine Government and now being constructed on the Pacific coast will be named the Jose RIZAL in honor of the noted Filipino patriot, author and sculptor who was shot by the Spanish military authorities in 1896.

Other names selected for new destroyers were announced by Secretary DANIELS today as follows:

The HOGAN, for Daniel HOGAN, a seaman who won distinction on the Constitution in her engagement with the British frigate GUERRIERE.

The STANSBURY, in memory of Lieut. John STANSBURY, a hero of the War of 1812, The HOWARD for Acting Ensign Charles W. HOWARD, promoted for bravery in the Civil War; the O’BANNON, for First Lieutenant Bresler M. O’BANNON, Marine Corps, who distinguished himself in the war with Tripoli, and the RENSHAW, who set fire to his vessel in Galveston harbor in the Civil War rather than have it fall into the hands of the Confederates.

STRUCK HARD BLOW

Geraldine FARRAR was painfully though not seriously injured in a fight scene in her picture, "The Hell Cat," on location five miles from Cody, Wyo. Thomas SANTSCHI, one of the members of the company, accidentally struck the diva a hard blow in the face, causing her to reel against a projection of a shanty and to suffer painful gashes in the side and top of her head. Miss FARRER (yes, spelled two different ways in same article) was rendered unconscious for an hour.

A physician reached the scene from Cody three hours after the accident and dressed her injuries, so that work on "The Hell Cat" was held up but one day. Lou TELLEGEN, the diva’s husband, is with her.

With the first episodes of "The Hell Cat" nearing completion Miss FARRAR and her company are preparing to travel farther toward the heart of the West for the remaining scenes of the drama.

PEACHERETTS DON BREECHES AT WORK

Pretty Goucher and High School Girls Gathering Luscious Fruit in Herford

Take a pretty girl. Dress her in a khaki blouse and breeches, not forgetting khaki puttees. Then set her on a ladder amid the overhanging branches of a peach tree, and have her reach out a rounded comely arm for a peach just the color of her rosy cheeks.

Dear me! Yes, they are wearing breeches at Mount Pleasant Orchard, Havre de Grace, where 21 of the most winsome and attractive high school and college maidens that Baltimore affords are picking the trees of one Charles E. BRYAN. A few are wearing overalls, but the only skirt worn in camp during working hours belongs to "Cooksie" BARRUS—motherly little "Cooksie" with gray hair and blue eyes who never comes face to face with a peach unless it be to smother it in a pie or dumpling.

The World Do Move

And just one short 12 months ago, when Miss Nannie IRVINE of the Government Employment Bureau recruited the first camp of peach pickers for Mr. BRYAN it was considered "advanced" to wear bloomers with skirts over them. This year it’s breeches and overalls without skirts, and puttees instead of the silk stockings and patent leather pumps of yesteryear. The world do move.

Altogether the new costume is not only more sensible but immensely becoming. To see the girls swinging down between the rows of trees carrying short ladders and baskets is to find a new meaning for the overworked word "efficiency." And then the puttees make it so much easier to climb in and out among the branches, and are such a protection against scratches, bruises, bugs and—dare we mention it?—bees and snakes.

"Oh yes, we love the work. It isn’t a bit hard," said a maiden with snapping black eyes as she pushed aside a stray curl which an overhanging branch had brushed into her eyes. It seemed hard to believe, after one heard Mr. BRYAN speak of the difficulty of telling a ripe peach from an unripe peach. For there are various stages of ripeness and unripeness, and the difficulty is intensified according as the peach is hidden among leaves or hangs in the full glare of the sun.

An Aid To Success

In fact, it takes an artist’s eye for color to distinguish the fine shades of differences for some of Mr. BRYAN’s peaches travel as far as Boston and some go to the local markets, and these are the things you’ve got to keep in mind to be a successful peacherette.

Early rising is the rule at "Camp Peacherette." The girls, by the way, prefer to call their camp the "barracks" to carry out the atmosphere of militarism suggested by khaki breeches and puttees. Usually the (paper gone for quite a few lines—but talking about the duties of the camp chaperon, Lettilda WAREHEIM). . . the camp chaperon sounds reveillie, but sometimes "Cooksie" has to help her to rouse the camp to action. She is an early riser, is "Cooksie." And sometimes she’s up before the stars have gone to bed, setting the dough for next morning’s hot bread. And it’s "Cooksie’s" hot bread that makes the cuisine of "Camp Peacherette" famous.

Plenty of Comfort

The camp, when the girls are in it, reminds the visitor of a boarding school or college dormitory, with certain exceptions. The girls sleep in real beds with real springs. There are plenty of comfortable chairs and rockers and plenty of windows to let in light and air, with strong wire screens to keep out mosquitoes and burglars. At one end is the "wash-up" room, separated from the rest of the long cemented dormitory by cretonne curtains, behind which are two stationary washstands—the nearest approach to a bathroom that the camp affords. This arrangement does not, of course, take the place of a shower, which would be ideal, particularly when one has been in the hot sun all day and with the itching sensation caused by the down on the peaches added to the discomfort of sunburn. However, one can take a cold sponge instead of a shower or a plunge, and two peremptory signs painted "Closed" when pinned to the outside of the cretonne insure one’s being able to take one’s ablutions undisturbed.

Miss Lettilda WAREHEIM makes an ideal chaperon for the girls, being a Girl Scout lieutenant and head of the kindergarten department of the Gwynn Country School. She has brought with he to the camp four Girl Scouts of the Western High School troop—the Misses Eleanor FISHER, Jean BEATTY, Fannie Krozier JETT and Catherine A. FAIT. There are also two Goucher girls in camp—Miss Katherine WISNER, a sophomore, and Miss Mildred DAY, a junior. Miss Yolande CLAUSSEN is a member of the June graduating class of the Western High School, Miss Anna NOLAN is a student there and Miss Virginia BEATSON graduated in June from the Eastern High School. Immaculate Conception Academy is represented by Miss Hilda BECHTOLD, the Teaches’ Training School by Miss Lucille EDGETT, Friends’ School by Miss Charlotte FEAST, Hannah More Academy by Miss Margaret JOHNS and a Richmond (Va.) high school by Miss Laura IZARD. Miss IZARD is the daughter of Ralph IZARD, superintendent of the division, including Maryland, of the United States Department of Labor.

Miss L. M. HILL, the field leader who directs the peach-picking, came to Mount Pleasant with farming experience gained on the farm of Dr. Harvey WILEY ("Pure Food" WIEY), near Washington. There are also a number of teachers at "Camp Peacherette" including Miss Marie WEBSTER of Westminster, Miss Elsie Mary CREW of Arlington, Miss Carolyn MAZGER of the Baltimore public schools and Miss Mary Powell HARRISON of Fredericksburg, Va.

Camp Meade Bulletin

Private George SMITH, Mesmerist, Makes His Comrades Dance and Sing At His Will

Nathan KAUFMAN Comes From Germany To Make War On The Kaiser

By Edwin J. HEATH

(Staff Correspondent of The Baltimore News)

Camp Meade, Md., Aug. 25—In this world of order, system and strict discipline, George SMITH, a recruit of the Twenty-seventh Company, Seventh Battalion, One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Depot Brigade has introduced a new element by his powers as a magician and mesmerist. The power of a private over another is nothing at all, but Smith had his fellows at his mercy at a show he gave from the Knights of Columbus boxing ring. Obedience could not have been more prompt if a generalissimo were in charge. Smith said come and the men he wanted would step out, and he said go, and they went. A man who said he could not sing soon was under the spell and sang as if his life depended upon it. It was the kind of singing that moves hearers to throw missiles at the performer, hopelessly unmelodious. When the man came out of the spell and was told that he had given a song recital for the crowd he was almost knocked out by embarrassment. Colored men at random were picked and were put through paces. Some would clasp their hands and be unable to get them unclasped and others could not make one hand come in contact with the other.

Some soldiers testified that Smith had worked wonders in curing them of ills. In West Virginia and elsewhere he had a record as a worker of wonders. Soldiers here insist that he has taken the pains and aches out of them. Smith’s powers and popularity have perplexed officers. So far the magic worker has made no attempt to make an unsuspecting officer dance a jig or sing solos. As long as he furnished enjoyment for the crowd he will probably be allowed to give occasional shows.

When it comes for his turn peeling potatoes in the kitchen it will do him no good to exercise his sway over a substitute. Smith will have his real chance when he gets to France. If he can make the Kaiser come out in No Man’s Land, the others will see to it that William does not go back again.

-------------------

Charles HURD, who used to be in the old Fourth Regiment Band, is now in the Seventh Company of the Depot Brigade. He was transferred just on the day when he should have signed the pay roll and so his money was held up. He is dreading another transfer this week on the same day which will cut him out again. Sooner or late, of course, he will get the money due him, but not until he signs the pay roll.

-------------------

Nathan KAUFMAN of the Twenty-second Company, Depot Brigade, is probably the only soldier in the camp who has come all the way from Germany to take part in the war against Germany. He was a Russian student in a technical school and after the Russian Ambassador told him he had to stay in Germany he turned to his own wits and managed to get to Denmark. In Copenhagen he was arrested as a Russian spy and was put to work as a war prisoner. He worked his way on a Danish steamer to Stockholm and then got back to his home in Russia.

Getting in the Russian Army, he was about to get a taste of real war when he was weighed in the scales and found wanting. Weighing only 100 pounds, he was picked to be a bugler and was sent to a school to learn music. In the school he was finally rejected on account of his frail health. His sister then gave him money for a trip to Japan, and from Japan he worked his way to the United States. Here he tried to enlist in the Jewish Legion of the British Army, but was rejected. He was turned down by the United States Army and United States Navy, but was finally drafter in Philadelphia. After many tests here KAUFMAN has been ordered on full duty, indicating that he has all strength necessary for drilling and fighting. He is anxious to fight his way back into Germany and thus complete his tour of the globe.

-------------------

Next Wednesday night will be one of the biggest nights on record in the camp. The fame of the colored singers has spread far and wide and many distinguished persons are coming to see them. The vaudeville show by troupes and individual stars from the Hippodrome in New York and from the leading vaudeville circuits will attract many other persons. The singing will be at the Open-air Theater, a little over a mile from the loop station, and jitneys will be on hand to carry the crowds.

Corp. Theodore R. KLEMM, husband of Mrs. Marie Berry KLEMM, has arrived safe overseas with the Three Hundred and Thirteenth Infantry Machine Gun Company. Corporal KLEMM entered the service 10 months ago and was stationed at Camp Meade. He is the son of Mrs. James GERAHTY of 241 North Monroe St.

McNEIR is a member of Company E, Three Hundred and Thirteenth Infantry. "Baltimore’s Own," in France. His home is at Pimlico.

MARYLAND PROUD OF NEW MAJOR GENERAL

Gen. John Archer LEJEUNE Comes of Famous Confederate And Harford County Stock

Brig. Gen. John Archer LEJEUNE, a scion of the Archer, Turpin, Wright and other Maryland families, who was sent abroad to command the Marine Corps units engaged in action in France, has been named by President WILSON as a permanent major general. General LEJEUNE is a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and in past years a frequent visitor to Harford county. A Louisianian by birth, his father was an officer in the Confederate Army with Gen. James J. ARCHER and several others of his relatives. His distinguished career in the Marine Corps, which he entered in 1890, was recently referred to in The News.

When the promotion of General LEJEUNE had been forecast, it was thought that Brig. Gen. Charles A. DOYEN, long a resident of Annapolis, whose wife is a daughter of Professor and Mrs. W. W. FAY, and connected with Baltimore families, would be given promotion as a temporary major general at least. General DOYEN went to France with the American expeditionary force as commanding officer of the Marines, and "in view of his record in Europe with the first brigade of Marines sent to foreign service," the Army and Navy Journal announced last week he would doubtless earn promotion. General DOYEN was brought home after about a year’s service on account of a slight physical infirmity and is now at Quantico, in charge of the Marines’ training camp. He had been in the corps since 1883, the same length of time as Maj. Gen. Commandant George BARNETT, who has heretofore been the only Marine officer of that rank by reason of his being detailed to command the corps. General DOYEN, however, is not in the list of two new major generals and eight brigadiers.

Another prediction as to the promotions that the President has failed to uphold is the status of the senior line officer of the corps—Brig. Gen. Little Waller Tazewell WALLER of the Virginia WALLERs. General WALLER has been in the service since 1880, was advanced for eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle with the Peking relief column, and has a fighting reputation that is the pride of the corps. He was court-martialed in the Philippines for following the orders of "Hell-Roaring Jake" SMITH to "clean up" the hostiles with bayonet and the "water cure." It was said by the Army and Navy Journal that "Brig. Gen. John A. LEJEUNE stands an equal chance with Brig. Gen. L. W. T. WALLER to receive the permanent appointment of major general.

Of the eight colonels advanced to brigadiers, Gen. James E. MAHONEY is third on the list of colonels and entered the corps in 1883 from Massachusetts; Gen. Charles G. LONG, 1891, is also from Massachusetts; Gen. Benjamin H. FULLER, 1891, is the father of Capt. Edward C. FULLER, recently killed in action; Gen. Wendell C. NEVILLE, 1892, from Virginia, is a medal of honor man for bravery in battle; Gen. Cyrus S. RADFORD, the only staff officer in the list, is assistant to Quartermaster General McCAWLEY, and was advanced in grade for eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle in defense of the Legation in Peking, July 3, 1900. Gen. John Twiggs MEYERS, a native of Germany, advanced in grade for the same reason, was appointed to the corps from the navy in 1895; Gen. Albertus W. CATLIN, a medal of honor man, is a New Yorker and a graduate of the Naval Academy.

The Curse Of The Country

The curse of the country is politics—cheap politics—the kind that caters for votes, that sacrifices principle for preferment, and that throws patriotism into discard. The American people are not only tolerant, they are almost childish in many things. It is not uncommon to hear a man so partisan that he will declare that he would vote for a yellow dog on his ticket rather than for an angel on the opposite side.

JUDGE ADVISES DIVORCE

Justice BEACH Tells Man That Only Solution Is Separation

An unusual opinion was delivered in Southern Police Court yesterday when Justice BEACH advised John J. FRANK and his wife Elizabeth that the best solution for their marriage problems would be either separation or divorce. FRANK was before him on a charge of striking his wife. He was fined $6.45.

"I can understand the position of a man who is nagged by a woman," the magistrate told the husband, "and I believe that your wife is as much at fault as you are. She says that she wants no support from you, but you will have to support your child." Therefore, I would advise you to go elsewhere and get either a divorce or separation."

FRANK declared that he had been married seven years and that during that tgime he had not had two days’ peace. He said that if he went around the corner to get a plug of tobacco his wife would insist that he was drunk when he returned. He added that she was constantly arguing and that yesterday when she shook a stove lifter in his face and struck him with a bucket, he shook her several times, for which she ordered his arrest.

LEAVES LOAN COMMITTEE

Mrs. Sydney M. CONE Resigns Chairmanship Of Women’s Organization

Mrs. Sydney M. CONE, chairman of the Women’s Liberty Loan Committee for Maryland during the third loan, has resigned the place and the appointment of a new chairman now is being awaited. Mrs. CONE has consented to remain as chairman until her successor is appointed and it is expected that a new chairman will be named in a few days.

The women’s committee did exceptionally efficient work during the third loan and the women are expected to do even better in the coming loan. With an organization already complete Mrs. Cone’s resignation is viewed as unfortunate because of her experience in directing the previous campaign.

GIRL A RAILROAD "BOSS"

Six Hundred Workers Take Orders From Miss Frances BRADY

(Special Washington Post Dispatch from A. H. STANLEY,

in the Philadelphia Ledger)

This is the day of the farmerette, conductorette, clerkette and woman munition worker. Certain women over in Brooklyn are tackling jobs as stevedores or dock wallopers.

The "win-the-war" woman is as inevitable a bit of the daily news as it is inevitable that the Yanks will keep on driving until Fritz Hun finds himself with his back to the last wall in Berlin.

One of the most important of all Government appointments announced lately in this city of more appointments than disappointments was that of a woman.

Miss Frances Hawthorne BRADY, assistant to the assistant to the director general of the United States Railroad Administration, receives on the ninth floor of the Interstate Commerce Building. She has two brothers overseas, one a corporal, the other a lieutenant of engineers. When she isn’t directing the railroads of the land, she is writing the boys. When they got into khaki she felt it was up to her to do her bit, and she’s doing it valiantly.

I asked Miss BRADY to tell me something about her work.

"I’m a roustabout," she said. "I look after the movement of all private cars, issue all passes for use by the Railroad Administration; attend to the payroll; do all executive work"—

Which was just about where I lost track and interrupted to ask where she had received her training as a railroad man. She laughed and informed me that she had never been inside an office of any description until August 21, 1917, when she went to work for Oscar A. PRICE, who was directing the Liberty Loan. Her life (couple of words lost) of her graduation from a fashionable seminary in Washington until then had been "just a good time."

In less than 19 months of real work in a world of brainy men Miss BRADY earned her present rank and title. She’s just as natural an executive as she is a natural girl. She presses her desk buzzers with determination, but when she opens a drawer of her big flat top desk, one sees that it’s pretty well filled with little stickers, two service stars to each sticker, each star representing a brother.

The assistant to the assistant to Director General McADOO has been running the offices of the Railroad Administration ever since Mr. McADOO went West. She handles more than 600 employees. She finds time to do her share of Red Cross work, for she is the organizer of the Director General’s unit, which number 182 Railroad Administration girls. They work at their homes and every Wednesday pile their work on Miss Brady’s desk.

Miss BRADY’s hours run from 9 in the morning until 9:30, 10:30 of 11 o’clock at night and she doesn’t mind them. She believes if the girls fall down on their wartime jobs the Government should draft them as it does its fighting men and put them in uniforms.

"And if it comes to that," she said, "I’ll be the first one in."

WOUNDED, IS NOW A GENERAL

Col. Manus McCLOSKY Promoted For Efficiency and Bravery

(From the New York Sun)

Col. Manus McCLOSKY of the Regular Field Artillery has been severely wounded in France. The publication of his name in the casualty list was coincident with the announcement that he had been elevated to the rank of brigadier general for efficiency and bravery.

Colonel McCLOSKY is 44 years old. He was graduated from West Point in 1898 and immediately was assigned to the Fifth Artillery for service in Cuba in the Spanish-American War. He also saw service in the Boxer rebellion in China and in the Philippines, where he was wounded in an engagement in Luzon. He comes from Pennsylvania. A previous casualty list also contained the name of his nephew, Lieut. William L. MUNRO, Jr., who was serving with the same unit. Uncle and nephew are supposed to have been wounded in the same battle, July 19.

BETTER MUSIC FOR TROOPS

Walter DAMROSCH Founds Big Training School For Americans

(Special Paris Cable Dispatch in the New York Times)

One by-product of this war which will be of benefit to all parts of America will be better music. It will grow out of the fact that 10,000 band musicians will go home to the United States after hostilities with more knowledge of and enthusiasm for music than they ever had before. This will be because of their thoroughgoing artistic training in France, plans for which have just been perfected by Walter DAMROSCH, at the request of General PERSHING.

Dr. DAMROSCH was about to return to America early in July when General PERSHING appealed to him to do something to improve the army music.

THIS DOG YELPS FOR KAISER

Its Owner, KUPPE, Forced To Change German Insignia On Boat

(Special Greenwich, Conn., Dispatch in the New York Times)

Residents living in the Bruce Park section here are greatly incensed over the appearance of a boat in the harbor, belonging to Louis KUPPE, painted in the German colors, red, white and black, with the iron cross painted on the bow and stern.

The matter was reported to Chief of Police TALBOT, who advised KUPPE to change the colors. The white strip has been changed to blue.

KUPPE says he has a trick collie dog which gives three melodious yelps when his master commands three cheers for the Kaiser. People in the neighborhood say that KUPPE refused to take any Liberty bonds or contribute to the Thrift Stamp and other patriotic drives until he was forced to do so.

MRS. GEORG ON ALIEN LIST

She Is Member Of American Family 219 Years Old

(From the New York Sun)

Mrs. Edith Stocker GEORG, member of a Newburgh family which traces its line in America back to 1600, registered as an enemy alien to avoid arrest, yielding on the last day of grace allotted to her. Had she continued her refusal it was the intention of Rufus W. SPRAGUE, Jr., chief of the New York Port Enemy Alien Bureau, to have her brought to New York and incarcerated in Waverley House, the detention place for women enemy aliens. She became an enemy alien through her marriage to Mr. GEORG.

Mrs. GEORG, who is a leader in Newburgh society and active in Red Cross work, maintained it was insulting to require her to register, although she was willing to register as the wife of an enemy alien. Her opposition has persisted ever since the registration law became effective, several months ago. She wrote to President WILSON and several Congressmen in protest.

Mrs. GEORG was married August 7, 1917, to Theodore R. GEORG, manager of the Alberger Pump and Condenser Company of Newburgh. They live at 3 Catherine street. Before a previous marriage she was Miss Edith Sheldon STOCKER. She has always lived in Newburgh.
