SUPREM E COURT ASKED FOR - INJUNCTION RESTRAINING AL­

LEGED VIOLATORS—(LOCAL AU­THORITIES LAX— LICENSE RE­Q U IR E D TO O P E R A T E B U S S E S .

Kingston.— The first steps by the Upstate public service commission toenforce the so-called jitney bus law, passed at the la st session of the leg is­lature. have been taken and the case w ill be pushed as a test. The com­m ission has applied through its coun­se l, Frank H. Mott, to Justice Gilbert Y- S. Hasbrouck of the supreme court a t K ingston for a permanent injunc­tion restraining Jam es B. Adams in Corning and Elmer G. Booth in Ro­chester from operating “jitney” lines w ithout the consent of the local au­thorities or a certificate of conven­ien ce and necessity from the public serv ice com m ission. Justice Hac/ brouck w ill hear the the petition Sep­tem ber 4, an d . it is announced that other proceedings will also-be brought within the next few days.

^This statute, which is chapter 667 o f the law s of 1915, requires a ir bus lines, motor vehicles,f stage routes, any vehicle carrying passengers for fifteen- cen ts or less, or any vehicle operating in com petition with a com­m on carrier, to procure the" consent o f the local authorities, and obtain a certificate of public convenience and n ecessity from thp public service com­m ission before operating in the streets of /a n y of the c ities of tho sta te .

H itherto the com m ission has consid­ered the enforcem ent of this law in the hands of the local au th oritie ; and has w ithheld action on its own part until the local authorities had been afforded tim e to” act. Recently, how ever, a number of complaint ;have been lodged with the commi •sion against so-called jitn ey bus lineapparently operating without autho ity . A t the la st session of the con m ission its counsel was directed t take court action against the allege violators m entioned above. Corrp lain ts also' have been receive: j aga in st other alleged violators am th ese w ill be handled either in th< , regular w ay before the com m issior ’ or before -the courts.

in the jitney business, as define!, common carriers and subject to all provisions of law as such. The pre - ent -applications to the supreme cou: ‘ are linder section 57 of the pubis ■ serv ice com m issions law, which ai thorizes the com m ission to apply t > th e court for injunctions to restrai i violations of th is law.

CARLISLE PRAISES HIGHWAY8YSTEM IN RESIGNIN!

N ew York.—The com pletion o m ain sta te highway routes and con­necting links, the m aintenance of im ­proved highw ays, including a plan to provide suitable stone supply, rule:; for the protection of improved high­w ays under the increasing motor traffic, and the reclassification of the engineering, departm ent are the m ost pressing needs of the departm ent at the presen t tim e, according to John N. . Carlisle, form er state highway com m issioner, who retired from an advisory position in the departm ent under the present head, Edwin Duf­fey. Mr. Carlisle’s opinion is set forth in a letter he has written to Com m issioner Duffey, which was m ade -public. Mr. Carlisle says:

“In severing my connections with the s ta te ‘departm ent of highways, I desire to express my appreciation of th e pleasant personal relations with you which have existed since you took office, an<k I sincerely w ish you su ccess in your work.

•“If, a t any tim e I can be of as­sistan ce to you in connection with m atters that arose under my admin­istration, I w ill be only too glad to confer w ith you.

“During the past month I have been over a great m any of our roads, and I am more im pressed than ever with th e v iew point that New York State’s greatest a sse t today is its system of im proved highw ays. N ealy all our m ain routes are now completed, and it is posible to travel in nearly every section of the State without discom ­fort. Only by rem em bering how these conditions have been im proved during the past few years can he ap­preciate the difference.

“T aking our system as a whole, we have m ore improved roads and better roads than any other ztate or country, right to be proud of what has been accom plished.

“Necesjsarilv, w ith our very large m ileage, there are, and alw ays w ill be, a few roads that need repair and . attention, but a comparison of the conditions o f the sta te highways with city and v illage streets is not un­favorable to the state.

“There are so m any important^ problem s confronting the department th at. i,t would be im possible to cover them all, t but I consider the ques­tion o t the com pletion of main routes and connecting l ik s ; m aintenance of im proved highw ays, including the adoption of % plan to provide a suit­

a b le - .s to n e supply; rules and m otor traffic and the reclassification of the

It was, according to the national _anti-saioon people, it piece of pulirieal bilnconrlje'. They s;iy"it is impossible for a loeal vote to inter fere with astate wide law.

The Denver election of this spring is to be set aside by tlie courts of C olo rado as of no importance. l>ut Colo­rado has also the recall of jimi.i:;! de­cisions, and it is expected that the next iqoVe of the liquor i.c. n \. l-h be io try to^pass a measure to set aside Cm de­cision of the courts.

It must not be forgotten that, while thdre is a larger percentage of Colo rado women voting than of Colorado mbn. still there is actually a smaller number, since the men greatly out­number the women. There are l id men to every 100 women in the state.

Organizations Strongly suffrage.

Unless there is a votes for women pennant w aving from each window the antis are nearly sure that the people of the house don’t w ant votes for women. Sometimes, according to anti arith­metic. it’s 97C. per cent of all the w o­men in the United States who wouldn't vote if they could, som etim es it ’s 90 per cent, and just recently it’s 88 per cent. ‘ . 1

The only tim e suffrage was ever sub­mitted to a referendum of wom en in the east w as in the case o f the straw vote in M assachusetts tweuty-flVe years ago. Twei;ty-five tim es as many w o­men voted for it as against it, yet the legislators said that so many women didn’t vote at all that it w as proof that the women didn’t w ant the suffrage and deliberately refused to abide by the women's decision. H aving been tricked in this way, it is small wonder that women say. “Xo. thank you,’" when tlie subject of a women's refer­endum is broached. Wtieu a major­ity of the men who vote on a ques­tion 'are for it that settles the ques­tion. But when women vote 25 to 1 in favor of woman suffrage the ques­tion is not -settled at all. It is m ere­ly shoved back to those who vote nei­ther way. This is not," however, the oil\y reason "why w o m en 'w o n t AvasTe’ time over a v, oman's .referendum. There is 110 legal provision for making such a decision binding no matter which way it goes. If every woman in- New York voted in favor of woman ■'.uffeage that effect would Tujv'e the le­gal weight of two chicken feathers. If woman's vote on sueh a mutter were legal there would be no woman -strug­gling for the suffrage; she would al­ready have if.

In this connection it is rather inter­esting; to note that o v e r t im e j’ou can get the general opinion of women con­cretely expressed, as through some great w oihan’s organization, you find that organization going 011 record as overwhelm ingly for suffrage.

Women as Voters Could Save the State I Money.'

uatm

According to the Tim es’ analysis of March 2S of the gubernatorial elec­tions o f 1914, male’ elections cost New York sta te’s public purse $4,079,171.42. That sum - w as supposed .to provide for every voter in New York state. Now, rilotice, 43 per cent o f the Democrats, 44 per cent of the Republicans, 33 per cent of the Progressives, 11 per cent bf the Socialists, 18 per cent of the Pro­hibitionists and 23 per cent o f the In­dependence League’s enrolled voters availed them selves o f this - voting ma­chinery, leaving unused more than half the supply; hence the suggestion that if N ew Yofk sta te wom en had voted only in the proportion o f N ew York men' they could have been accommo­dated with the unused tickets, voting booths, registrars, judges, etc., which men voters were too unappreciative to use. ' t ■

Another thing that the cost per voter of this election bill suggests to the su f­fragist'is that wom en m ight he able to reorganise ,thfe w hole voting ■machineryantf \ e r ’ o w ir v p li^ g 1 P er ile t- ■without costing th§ state c e n t ; I t cost -the m en o f Greene county, for in­stance, about 14 cents each to vote; o f Chautauqua, 15 cents; o f O swego coun­ty. 10 cents. But it cost the men pf R ockland. county $2.50 each and the men of H am ilton $4. It cost Clinton county $1.30 per capita for . m ale elec­tors last November, and it post Dela­ware county 19 cents. The Albany Knickerbocker Press gives an account of fifty-eight voters w ho cost the coun­ty $14 each. On the other hand, the Hem pstead Sentinel reports that it» spring elections were run at the small cost o f s08 cents apiece. W omen feel sure that with this ’ wide and uneven range o f election expenses they 'could as voters help inaugurate a new era of equalized election disbursem ents that would save the sta te m oney instead of costing it any.

Even if these membership lists overlap to som e extent, the net total of separate nam es runs into the millions. In so far as organized wom en can prove the case by numbers, they have done so by m assing an overwhelm ing array of wom en in the line of march to the polls.

“I hereby pledge m y se lf to contrib­ute all the tim e I can spare from my everyday duties and em ploym ent to the-Equal Suffrage League o f Virginia. Payable as the opportunities are pre­sented.” *1 On the reverse sid§ o f th e card the follow ing lines w ere w ritten:

“A man may hae an honest heart, Though poorti h hourly stare him;

A man may t a k a neighbor’s part.Yet hae nae cash to spare him.”

Burns and Byron.Burns w as a better man than Byron,

although Byron has, in all probability, been painted blacker than he really was. Byron, at heart, w as a pessim ist and cynic, w hile Burns, though in no sen se a “believer” in the “orthodox” theology of his day, was w ell groundedIn the conviction that the world andm ankind w ere fundam entally good a n d . w ere worth loving and working -for.— Chicago American.

Berlin’s Bouquet.Paris was teaching the world when

there was no capital in Germany; London has been a com m ercial cen­ter for a thousand years, and Oxford w as a hundred years old before even the U niversity o f Prague, the first in Germany, was founded by Charles IV •in 1348. You may like or dislike th ese cities, but at any rate they have a bouquet; Berlin has none.

New Fire Peril.Birds carrying m atches to their

n ests under the eaves of a college building in New York were blamed for a fire starting." The new art of fire prevention would preferably place the blame on the human agency which left such dangerous little weapons as m atches where the birds could find them to carry them to the eaves.

Petrograd. A ugust 10.— The follow­ing official com m unication was issuedhere: *

A German fleet of nine battleships and tw elve cruisers, w ith a large num ber of t&rpedo boat destroyers, per­sisten tly attacked the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, but everyw here repulsed.

The Gulf of Riga would perm it the Germ ans to g ive powerful aid to t'. army now occupying the west . coast of the gulf. W ith the object of penetrating the gulf the fleet ap­peared off Dirben Channel, wkic,. ! the only practicable way for large ships to enter. The enem y ma !) three attem pts, w ith the object o:' breaking the m ine barrier protected by our fleet. 1

Our seaplanes and warships co­operated to ropel the enem y. The Germans did not succeed in passing our defenses. Three of his ships were damaged by m ines near Dirben. None of our ships was lost.

London, August 10.— The Germans captured Praga, a suburb of W arsaw, with it great railway st-’Mons on the railroads leading L- i otrograd and Moscow.

The invaders also lightened their investm ent of Novogeorgipvsk, the only point w est of W arsaw now held Ly the R ussians. The stronghold was cut off on the east betw een the V is­tula and Narew rivers.

W hen the Austro-German arm ies were pressing th tir advantage in the east the British in the w est began a new ofi'ensivo m ovem ent, and Sir John Prench, CommaLder of the British ex­peditionary force, reports a terrific •rlillary battle in which British and i’ronch forces captured trenches at Hocco, curt of Ypres, in Belgium, pre-

lom ly taken by the Gormans, along . iront of 1,200 ayrds.

Pope an Unimposing Genius.T hose who Imagine there is som e

necessary connection between literary genius and inches wiU have to explain aw ay the case of Alexander Pope. Pope was exactly four feet six Inches high. He w as humpbacked and de­formed. According to one o f Lord-Ox- ford’s servants, he w as “so weak as to stand in perpetual - need o f fem ale attendance; extrem ely sensib le of cold, so that he wore a kind of fur doublet under a sk irt of very coarse, warm linen, w ith fine sleeves. W hen he rose he w as Invested in a bodice made of stiff canvas, being hardly able to stand erect till it w as laced, and he then put on a flannel w aist­coat. One side w as contracted. H is legs were so slender that he enlarged their bulk w ith three pairs of stock­ings, which w ere drawn on and off by the m aid; for he was not able to dress or undress h im self.”

Two Theories as to Cancer.Most of the theories of the cause of

cancer fall into two groups— one that it is a germ disease, the other that it is hereditary. The supporters of the first, or germ, theory are much the m ore numerous, and, to their' credit be it said, the more active and un- w earyingly industrious. Yet it m ust be regretfully confessed that although the germ of cancer has been one of the favorite objects of pursuit by research workers ever since the- first germ- crim inal w as accused and convicted by Pasteur, and literally hundreds of patient and laborious workers and scores of special institutions have been, and are yet, engaged in its study, the net resu lt has been practi­cally a nonsuit. The verdict to date m ust be the cautious conclusion of the Scotch jury, “N ot Proved.”

Bee Is Busy But Unwise.The bee may be a busy little in­

sect, but it has no common sense. A t least Henri Fabre says so, and Fabre, you know, has been called thd “In­sec ts’ H om er” by M aeterlinck. Fabre gives many proofs of his assertion , for exam ple: ,

H e opened the bottom of a cell in the course o f construction, but the bee that was building it kept right on with its work, building up the Cell and storing honey in it*, quite unconscious of the fact that the food for the fu­ture generation was oozing out, and finally laid its egg and sealed up the top of the cell, never paying any at­tention to th e hbiq in the bottom.

m ost pan not run uuouga io travel, and it very rarely -happens, in these topsy-turvy days, that anyone goes to Switzerland ho bus a long enoughlineage to be permitted to associatewith them.

B esides, they have a marked dis­like of foreigners, because, as one of them w as kind enough to explain, for­eigners, although a source of profit to inpkeepers ^and the like, are to them a source o f-positive loss.

B efore the„ tourist took to stalkingabout in their m idst liv in g w as cheap there,’ it seem s, and servant maids were plentiful. Now liv ing is terri­bly dear, as they count dear, and not a servant maid is to be had.

N or is that all. Although the tour­is t does nothing for them but step on their toes and annoy them, they m ust pay higher rates and taxes that h e m ay have good roads to w alk on and spiral railw ays in which to travel.

T his, a t any rate, is their .ta le . Thus, if they scow l when they m eet him—-and they certainly do— it is notw ithout, reason.— N ew York T ele­graph.

S A W D U S T T O P U T O U T F I R EProbably Most Valuable of Extinguish­

ers in Dealing With a 8mall Blaze.

W e are not accustom ed to regard saw dust in the li^ht of a fire extin­guisher. On the contrary, m ost of us look upon it as fuel for the flames and would never dream of throwing it upon a fire which we w ere anxious to put out.

N evertheless it is very valuable In­deed in certain fire em ergencies, es­pecially .in cases where little volum es of gasoline or other inflammable liquids have "become ignited. The m otorist in particular w ill be glad to know that there is perhaps nothing w ithin reach more effective In such cases. The principle upon which saw ­dust works is obvious. Combustion ceases as soon as .there is not enough oxygen to support it. That is th e rea­son that one may extinguish a small fire by sim ply covering it w ith a cloth. T he sawdust, indeed, works precisely in th is manner. Its particles adhere, so elosely together that they effect­ually blanket the burning body upon

'which they are thrown, thus robbing the fire o f the oxygen necessary for its support.

Cement for Use Ip Glass.i H ere i s a. very valuable fo'rmula for a cepaept; to r jo in ing glass* It mav

£he^uaedrin;;m nlji% a?;inenflfijfc aduari ums, or th in gs o f that sort. This ce­m ent contains nothing injurious U either anim als or plants, and will re­s ist the action of both fresh and salt water.

Take one part of m easure, say a gill, o f litharge, one gill plaster of Paris, one gill of dry, v/hite sand, one- third of a gill of finely powdered resin; s ift and keep tightly corked un­til required for use, when it is to be made into a putty by m ixing in boiled linseed oil with a little patent dryer added.

Do not use It until It has been mixed with the oil over fifteen hours. The tank can be used im m ediately, if nec­essary, but it is better to give* it three or four hours to dry.

Appreciative.Two country darkies listened, aw e­

struck, while som e planters discussed th e trem endous range of the new Ger­man guns.

“Dar, now,” exclaim ed one negro, when his m aster had finished expatiat­ing ou the hideous havoc wrought by a 42-centimeter shell, “jes’ lak I bin’ tellin ’ yo’ n iggehs all de tim e! Don’ le s ’ have no guns lak dem roun’ heah! Why, us n iggehs could start runnin’ erw-ay— run all day, git alm os’ home free, an’ den g it k ilt jus’ befo’ sup- p eh !”

“Dat’s de trufe,” assented his com­panion, “an’ lem m e tell you’ sum pin’ else. Bo. All dem guns needs is jus’ you’ address, dat’s all; je s’ g iv’em de ad-dress an’ they’ll git you.’.”— Every­body’s Magazine^

A Wasted Plea.“Your honor, th is man accuses me

of trying to pick his pocket, but I wras ouly trying to put a card in his pocket

'advertising a pressing club.”“The gentlem an says he found no

card in his pocket.”“It mu.-t have dropped out.”“Havo you another card?”“No, your honor. That was the last

one I had and t h e ' reason why I bungled so was because I was in a great hurry to finish up and go hom e.”

“Ahem ! You would m ake a good war correspondent,” said the judge. “N inety days.”

Needn’t Bother About That.One day a boy w as v isiting our

house and I w as going to take him to .a party. Just before starting his m other said to him:

“Now, Freddie, a t tbe party when you are asked if you’ll have som ething you m ust say, ’Y es, thank you,’ and if you don’t w ant i t you m ust sdy—”

“Don’t bother, ma, I don’t expect to refuse anything*” sa id Freddie.—Ex- ehange.

Continuous Bombardment in the Artois Region—Allied. Aircraft

Taken in Vosges.

L o n d o n , A u g u s t 7 .— U n u s u a l a c t i v ­ity. by the Germans marked the fight­ing on the W estern front. Attacks o f g r e a t i n t e n s i t y o n b o t h s i d e s ofthe Verdun salient, centering in then e i g h b o r h o o d o f H i l l N o . 21 3 , i n t h eArgonne, and at Bois Hunt, on theh e i g h t s o f t h e M e u s e , w e r e r e p u l s e dby French infantry fire and hand gren­ades.

A n a l l - n i g h t a t t a c k b y t h e G e r m a n sin the A rtois district, between theSomme and the Oise, in an a t t e m p t to retake the Souchez territory, was also turned back, according to the French official comm unication. The Germans have kept up a continuous bombard­m ent w ith shells of all sizes along m ost of the front.

F ighting south of Lingekopf, in the Vosges, continues unabated, with lit­tle gain indicated by either side. The Germans here forced four A llied air­craft to land and captured their occu­pants.

The com m unication of the French W a/ Office was as follows:

In the A rtois district, betw een tho Somme and the Oise and the valley of the Aisne, there w ere during al­m ost all night, a series of engage­m ents w ith hand grenades around Souchez. In front of N euville St. Vaast a German attack was easily and quickly checked.

In the w estern part of the Argonne the fighting with bombs and shells ofa l l ’ sizes, supported by artillery a c ­tions, took on greater intensity dur­ing the night, particularly in the neighborhood of H ill No. 213. In the region of Fbntaine-aux-Oharmes and in the direction of St. Hubert, to tho w est of H ill No. 213, the Germans en­deavored to m ove out from their trenches, .h u t they were a t once checked by our fire.

On th e heights of the M euse, at Bois Haut, the enem y delivered two attacks, each o f w hich was witho 3 success. Our assa iiants were driven back w ith hand grenades and by t c fire, of our infantry.

FO.l MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.

W I L L CONSULT N. Y . BANKERS

ocretary of T reasury to Ask Them for Loan to Southern Republic— U. S. May Have to G uarantee Any Bond Issue.

N ew York, August 9.—Secretary of State Lansing and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo conferred here. F rom a reliable source it was learned that the possible attitude of bankers lov.ard the financial n ecessities whieh v ill arise with the establishm ent of a new governm ent in Mexico were . O’.ipidered.

it was stated later that the Secre- t .’y of the Treasury will call upon . o.v York bankers to learn whether,

case of the adoption of the Prcsi- acat’s p la n 'In Mexico, they will be v ..i:i:g to m ake a loan to the new . ovcri.m ent. It was said that seven 1.. :n3 are to be consulted.

Officials in W ashington are begin­ning to realize that if the United t ates stands sponsor for a new gov­ernm ent in Mexico it will be forced eventually to guarantee the large loan v hich it will be necessary to arrange. This fact, it is believed, has caused

• President W ilson to hesitate, but the belief is growing that he will finally consent to this assum ption of respon­sibility.

On his return to W ashington the Secretary of State denied that the conference had been for the purpose of considering m eans of financing “any independent faction in Mexico which the United S ta tes Government m ight feel obliged to suport.” It was adm itted in W ashington,’ however, that the financial problem is one cf the m ost perplexing in connection

^with a M exican settlem ent.Announcem ent is made in a des­

patch from W ashington that Senator J. M. Cardozo de Oliveira, M inister to Mexico, who is about to leave M exico city, has been invited to come to W ashington to advise the Admin­istration regarding conditions ia Mexico. He has been looking after the interests of the United States Governm ent there. /

CONVENTION COMMITTEE FAV­

ORS PROPOSAL GRANTING MU­NICIPAL POWERS—STA TE’S TAX P O W E R R E A F F I R M E D .

(Special Albany Correspondence.)Albany.—The Cities Committee of

the Constitutional Convention, after a t w o h o u r a . i . c e n c e , a t w h i c h E l i h uRoot, p /en d on t of the convention,used tlie whip t o bring it to an under­standing, adopted a home rule pro­posal for cities by a vote of 13 to 2. The proposal g ives the Legislature power to amend any bill passed by the cities and to pass any act passed by the cities and to pass any act passed by the municipal Legislature a m i vetoed by the Mayor. Only a majority vote is necessary in either i n s t a n c e .

In ether rcn ’ tho proposal is the same, as or Ui’.cd v ooka ago by Seth Low, cliaiiniae of the committee, which is similar to the grant of home rule enjoyed by tho Philippine Islands.

Four members cf the committee•v o ted t o r c . c r l t h o p r o p o s a l m e r e l yto get it before, tiir delegates,. Thesem e n a l l o b j e c t t o g i v i n g t h e L e g i s l a ­ture the whip hand over the citie3 and c h a r a c t e r i z e t h e p r o p o s a l a s h o m e r u l e i n n a m e o n l y .

The two v. no voted against pro­posal wore Edward E. Franehot, ofNiagara Falls, and Senate Jam es A.F o l e y , o f N e w Y o r k .

Cities May Initiate C harters.The proposal gives the cities the

r i g h t t o i n i t i a t e t h e i r o w n c h a r t e r s .The method is cumbersome. It pro­vides that the. proposition as to whether the voters want ,a charter shall be subm itted to them at a ref­erendum in January. If they vote for a charter the Mayor shall appoint a charter comm ission, which shall pre­pare a charter and subm it it to the voters for ratification or rejection.

The convention discussed the edu­cational am endm ent and Tax Commis­sioner Saxe’s am endm ent to the tax article. The latter was discussed for three hours, and when the convention adjourned it bad reached only the sev ­enth line of tho first section of the proposal, a n d . had elim inated four lines, which provided:

“No property jshall be exem pt from taxation except (gs expressly provide ! by law. Laws granting exemption from taxation, whether heretofore or hereafter enacted, shall be subject to modification or rule.”

The second sentence quoted wouldp e r m i t t h e L e g i s l a t u r e a g a i n t o a s s e s sholders of secured debt bonds who are now exem pt by virtue of declar­ing them and paying an initial tax on them. These secured debt bonds have a m arket value of about $1,000,000,000.

Even the first two lines of the bill did not escape. These, which declare that the power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended or contract­ed away, George W. W ickersham sought to amend to read: “The power Of taxation shall alw ays remain in the' state and rhall never be abridged.’’ This am endment was under discus­sion when the convention adjourned.

Reaffirms State’s Tax Power.The Saxe bill reaffirms the sta te’s

power to tax. and ^provides that the Legislature may empower state au­t h o r i t i e s t o r e v i e w t h e a s s e s s m e n t o freal property of a municipal corpora­t i o n , a n d t h a t w i t h i n t h e l i m i t s o f t h ecity, and to order a re-assessment, subject, to the review of the courts.

The convention advanced to the order of final passage the proposed am endm ent to the educational section, reading: “The state shall continue its supervision and control of the educa­tion of children as a state function, and no powers in derogation thereof shall be conferred on the local authori­ties, of a civil division thereof.”

Dem ocrats declared the am endment would interfere w ith hom e rule should the latter be granted. This was de­nied by Jacob Gould Schurman, chair­man of the com m ittee, which drafted it.

Ex-Senator Anthony J. Griffin, of The Bronx, read a letter from the Guardians of Liberty, an anti-Catholic society indorsing the am endment. He said the am endm ent was fostered by religious bigotrjn

Louis Marshall said the am endm ent would not interfere w ith parochial or private schools. This w as the opinion qf Catholic delegates who discussed Mr. Griffin’s assertions.

Short Ballot and Budget.A proposed constitutional amend­

ment, for an executive budget, de­clared by President Root the m ost important m easure the delegates will have to consider was introduced, for­tified by statem ents from the com­m ittee in charge.

The Finance Com m ittee’s article requires departm ent chiefs to revise and classify yearly the estim ates of appropriations according to their re­la tive importance. These estim ates are to be revised by the Governor af­ter public hearings.

NEW YORK-ALBANY AIR LINE.Albany.—Although the first trial

was not a success, the plan has not been given up for a hydroplane ser­vice between New York and Albany. The next attem pt will be made short­ly, as soon as the new planes are finished.

The first trial was m ade by Edwin Morse, son of C. W. Morse, president of the compand, and General Passen­ger A gent R. M. Much. A fter being in the air a few m inutes, the m achin­ery failed and the hydroplane dropped into the river.

Petrograd Announces It Will Be de­fended—Brest-Litovsk Line Ob­

jective of Grand Duke.

London, Aug. 7.—The great Rus­sian arm ies, sw eeping to new defen­sive positions on the Brest-Litovsk line, thus far have escaped the traps set for' them by the Austro-Germans.

Novogeorgievsk, the great internch- ed camp aineteeii m iles n orth w est'o f W arsaw, although closely invested, is still held by the Czar’s forces, and im m ediately south of Riga the Rus­sians have beaten back the Germans.

The exodus of civilians from Riga continued and the stripping of the city of everything of m ilitary value has been practically com pleted.

W ith the exception of Novogeor­gievsk the R ussians have evacuated the w hole line of the V istula River, and in retiring they destroyed all the bridges.

H eavy rains are im peding the flight of the retreating arm ies in the dis­trict betw een the V istula and B u grivers, but it is hindering the move-1 m ents of the pursuers even more, for the passage of the R ussians is cutting up the roads and turning them into quagmires.

The R ussians are said to be attack­ing w ith great dash and vigor the ad­vancing Germans ahd A ustrians w henever • they ge t near enoqgh to harassf. th eir rear guard?. •

Petrograd’s decision to leave the garrison ih N ovogeorgievsk w as an­nounced. The object is to deprive the Germans or' the use of railw ay comm unication and of the V istual River for bringing up supplies for their armies.

The fortress is situated at the junc­tion of the Vistula, Narew and W krarivers. It has two powerful bridge­heads, eight citadels and twenty-four redoubts containing eleven and tw elve inch, batteries, it is ,asi,orted by Rus­sian military experts that an army corps can hold o.:t there for. m any months, as the camp ia protected by m iss iv e earth wo: 1m, which have been enlarged and improved since the Rus­sians were connm ieJ t o ‘begin theirretirem ent.

OKUiVIA REMAINS PREM IERAt Mikado’s Request Form s His Own

Cabinet Taking Foreign Office Portfolio.

Tokio, August 9.—Prem ier Count Okuma has virtually decided, at the special request of the Emperor, to remain in office, and has arranged the following Cabinet:

Prem ier and M inister of Foreign Af­fairs, Count Sigenobu Okuma; M inis­ter of Finance, Tokitoshi Taketom i; M inister of Marine, Vice-Admiral To- mcsaburo Kato; M inister of War, Lieutenant General Ichinoouke Oka; M inister of Justice, Yukio Ozaki; M inister of Communications, Kat- sundo Minoura or V iscount Masakta. Scngoku; M inister of Commerce and Agriculture, Hironaka Kono; M inister of Education, S. H akata; M inister of tlie Interior, Kitokuro Ichiki.

The assum ption by Count Okuma of the Foreign M inistry, follow ing the refusal of Takaaki Kato to retain retain that portfolio, is to be tempor­ary, pending the selection of a perma­nent miAister.

It becam e known that the Emperor had requested Prem ier Okuma to .re­main in office, and that the Premier had agreed provisionally to do so. H is acceptance w as contingent on the construction of a Cabinet acceptable to him, and announcem ent w as made of his arrangem ent of the new Cabi­net.

The A ssociation of Okuma Support­ers has sen t circulars throughout the country urging that support be ac­corded Prem ier Okuma on the ground that his ideal is to m ake Japan a nation of forem ost rank, capable of com peting with the m ost powerful countries. The count, the circulars say, resigned because the allegations of election bribery created a situation repugnant to one o f h is lo fty princi­ples, but neverth eless he w as unwill­ing to be a cause of concern to the Emperor, who had asjeed him to re­main in office.

Notwithstanding powerful pressurebrought to bear on Count Okuma toretain his place, differences of opinionhave sprung up am ong h is supporters: The leaders of th e O saka branch of the Okuma organization’ sen t a ' tele­gram to the P rem ier urging him to insist on retiring.
