mouth and teeth, touches the Hanks and
iwiftly looks over the animal from hoofs
to head, flrst on one Bide and then on
the other.
JUMPING EXHIBITION.
Thn animal is then mado to Jump by
a tingle lash of a whip and Is forced
to run the length of the stable nnd return.
Meanwhile tho Inspectors make notes
and the horse Is either nccepted or ro
jMted. If the horso Is accepted another

: Very little Is said by the Inspectors as
the work goes on; sometimes an hour

I other. The Count, who Is a lieutenant
I In the French army. Is very dignified In
f manner and bearing. His complexion Is
dark and his face Is wrinkled, which
jives one the Impression of an outdoor
Ufa, filled with campaigns and hardships.
Bettor Dupree, on the other hand, is
fair, quick In action and Inclined to be
very friendly.
HARD TO INTERVIEW.
Both men speak only broken English,
alt was with difficulty that a reporter
from the KvENiNtj Ledger, obtained the
Information from them that the only
thlhga required of tho horses were free

FOR ONE-DAY STRIKE
Forty-Four Women's Organi

NEW YOnK, Aug. 25 "Our Idea In
hnvlng a one-day women's strike In New
York city Is to spike for all time tho big
antl gun, 'Womnn'B place Is In tho
home!' " said Mrs. Norman do H. White
house yesterday after a meeting of the
Emplro State campaign committee.
Thirty woman's clubs and organizations,
both social and Industrial, were repre
sented. They voted In favor of the strike.
Fourteen clubs sent In letters urging It.
"Wo know thnt the 'antls' will call us
lawless for advocating what will amount
to a tie-up of Industry for one whole day,
for you must remember that one-third of
the women of voting age In New York
State work outside the home and that
they are employed In nil but three
trades," said Mrs. Whltehouse.
"Wo do not desire to cripple Industry or
inconvenience employers, but we cannot
see nny way to avoid those unpleasant
nesses and yet make a strike which will
provo our point We are merely trying
to show that tho phrase, 'Woman's place
Is In the home,' really has no meaning
undT modern conditions, and our method
of proof will be to havo women stay, for
one day at least, right where tho 'antls'
say their place Is.
"We want people simply to rcallzo that
tho women who nrc entering Industry
are not usurping men's places, but that
women are necessary to tho life of mod
ern Industry."
The strlko of women will be called
cither during the last week In September
or the first week In October, according to
the plans.

TO GIVE BLOOD FOR WOMAN
University Physicians Choso Subject
From 100 Volunteers lor
Transfusion
Physicians In tho University Hospital
havo chosen a subject from 100 men who
offered to give their blood to save a
woman's life. That number volunteered
following an advertisement published by
tho Institution asking that applications
be made for -the privilege of aiding the
patient in Ward B, who, It is thought,
must die If she Is not strengthened by
good, healthy blood.
During the last two days the hospital
has been besieged with applications, and,
finally, after completing tho blood tests
last night In order to be positive that
a perfectly healthy person might be
chosen for the sacrifice, three men were
selected as being suitable subjects to con
tribute the blood to tho sufferer.
Secrecy Is maintained regarding their
Identity with tho same care as has been
kept around tho Identity of tho patient
fnr whom the sacrifice is to be made.
The tests of blood were mado under the

PALMER AMPLIFIES
HIS "M. P." DENIAL
Admits He Secured Information
for Law Partner of
"Legal Agent" Levy
Former Congressman A. Mitchell Pal
mer has Issued a formal statement ampli
fying his previous denial that he was tho
mysterious "M. P." referred to In the
New York World German) propaganda
disclosures as the man who was getting
secret Information from President Wilson
and transmitting It lo German agents.
In today's statement Mr. Palmer ad
mits that ho went to the President to
get Borne Information for John B.
Stanchfleld, a promlnwit New York at
torney. Stanchtlcld Is a law partner of
"Legal Agent" Levy, In whose report to
Prl-y Councilor Albert, or tho German
Government, as published by the World,
was contained the story of "M. P.'s" ac
tivities. Mr. Palmer's statement follows:
"I did see the President on July 22, and
I talked to him about two things. I
tendered my declination of the olllco of
Judge of the Court of Claims, to which
tho President had appointed me some time
before.
"The other matter concerning which I
spoke to him was at tho request of John
B. Stanchfleld, a leading member of the
New York bar and a personal friend of
mine. He hod requested me to convey
certin Information to the President which
had come into his possession. This had
to do with tho formation of a steamship
line by certain prominent American
citizens residing in New York, whom Mr.
Stanchfleld represented. The lino was to
carry noncontrabnnd to neutral ports In
Europe. My conversation with the Presi
dent was with regard to the attitude of
the Government w 1th respect to such com
merce to neutral ports, and had nothing
whatever to do with the various matters
printed in tho World."

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 26. A fem

along a Bldo avenue, her bathing dress
covered with a rnlncoat. When she
reached tho checking Btatlon nt tho foot
of tho avenue and discarded tho coat the
people standing near gasped, but sho
quickly mado her way to the beach.
Immediately she was surrounded by a
crowd of bathers who wondered nt her
daring In wearing a one-piece, tight-fitting
bathing suit, cut in true 1-ronch
style. The censor of the beach, a police
man who' looks after bathing attire which

There has been some agitation over the
removal of the huge electric signs on the

declare they are a menace, both in the
times of high winds and when a fire oc
curs. Tho high rentals paid by ad
vertisers for these signs will provo a big
obstacle In the way of removing them.
One sign, which costs less than $100
a year for maintenance, brings In a rev

Tho city authorities have passed strin

ORDERS OF ST. GEORGE
MAY FAIL TO MERGE
Difference in Membership Re
strictions Likely to Halt
Plan
Plans and suggestions for the long-talkcd-of
merger will bo exchanged to
day by the Order of Daughters of St.
Qeorgo and the Independent Order of
Daughters of St. George, but there Is a
possibility that the whole schemo may
fall through because the first-named or
ganization admits to membership women
of other nationalities who havo married
Englishmen, when the latter are members
of tho Sons of 8t. George.
The committee appointed by the Inde
pendent Order of Daughters of St. Qeorgo
to confer with tho sister order Is as fol
lows: Miss Ljdla Moss, Worcester,
Mars.; Mrs. Elizabeth Greene, Lowell,
Mass.; Mrs. Mary McLaren, Schulklll
Falls, Pa.: Mrj.. Harriet Marlatt, Schcncc-t.-wly.
N. Y and Mrs. Mary E. Law, Wal
tliam, Mass,
It 1b expected that in tho event of
committees of the two orders agreeing,
tho question of amalgamation will be put
to a vote by each body some time today.
Tho Independent order admits only
women of English blood or of English
descent. Tt haB about 2000 members, com

It U the contention of the Independents
thnt women of German birth have become
members of tho other association because
they had married English husbands. No

CARDINAL GIBBONS
OPI'OSES WAR TALK
Declares That Americans Court Peril
by Traveling on British Ships
BALTIMORE, Aug. JS.-Cardlnal Gib
bons, who has returned from South
Hampton, where ho passed his vacation,
when asked whether he believed tha
trouble over the sinking of the Arabic
would embroil this country with Ger
many, was emphatic In declaring that
this country had no right to go to war
because of It. Ho said:
"The sinking of tho Arabic precipitated
the present crisis between the United
States and Germany. This was an Eng
lish vessel, nnd It Is deplorable that
Amercans take the risk of traveling on
ships thnt aro subjected to such dan
gers. "A truo lover of America should sacri
fice personal whims when tho honor nnd
the penco tf the nation hangs In the bal
ance. Hut It seems like asking too much
to expect tho country to stand up nnd
light just because a few are over-daring.
It Is nothing but a foolish risk for
Americans to take the daro of traveling
by ships that aro in danger.
"Calm thought and great prudence ta
what tho nation requires In this crisis.
We enn rely on President Wilson to lead
us right. The people should not In nny
manner hinder him In deciding tho Issue.
Loud voiced opinions, no matter from
whnt source, aro untimely nnd only com
plicate inntters. Both sides should be
heard, and I trust that President Wilson
will wait until Germany explains herself
or hna n chance to explain."

O. J. Stetzcr, president of tho Point
Breeze Motordome Association, denied
tcday that L. Daniel Kane wnB a partner
In tho enterprise. Knno recently filed a
petition in tho United Stntes District
