OPPOSES WILSON'S It. 11. PLAN
TO SAVE SMALL INVESTORS
Bankers Beg President Not to Grant
Demands
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. In n letter ad
dressed to President Wilson, signed by Lewis
B. Franklin, president, and John K. Blunt,
chairman, representing tho railrond bond
committee of the Investment Bankers' As
sociation of America, mndo public at 1
o'clock today, a strong objection Is made
to granting an increaso In pay of railway
employes without arbitration.
The letter declares that should an in
crease In wages bo granted tho cost would
comJ from the pockets of small Investors,
which would seriously endanger tho security
of millions of outstanding bonds.
The letter. In part, follows:
"In tho Interest of Investors holding bil
lions of railroad securities, most of them
t citizens of moderate means, we respectfully
protest to your Excellency against any
effort to Induce or compel railroad olUclals to
grant an Increase of wages approximating
$50,000,000 a year, unless the Justice of
such Increases be determined In advance
by arlbtratton.
"Tho right to grant or refuse such aii
Increase In expenses should not be deter
mined by any form of compulsion such ns
"Sis now threatened. If this right can be
adjudicated by arbitration under the super
vision of tho Interstate Commerco Commis
sion, any Increase granted will furnish a
Just basis for an Increaso of rates that will
V be fair to all parties, Includ ng tho public.
"Capital for railroad development nnd
upkeep cannot be obtained if railroad earn
ings are to be dissipated at the Instance of
combinations of employes enforcing their
claims by compulsion and refusing to sub
mit to arbitration.
"Right, not might, must govern in labor
disputes If there is to bo any stability In
our social organization."

COMIT.TB FOR PHIZES.
Competition for tho many cash prizes,
amounting to a total of nearly one thou

this afternoon's proceedings. Forgetting
the factional dlfterences and criticisms that
arose in tho early part of the week the
members of tho State order "slicked" up
for tho occasion, assembled their life and
drum corps, u string band or novelty, nnd
planned and prepared to meet tho gaze of
tho three military officers chosen to act as

shal, formed the nucleus of tho long body
which followed to the strains from forty or
moro bands.

was composed entirely of floats repre
senting camps, commanderles and indus
trial Institutions.
In order tor get nn early start for the
parade the delegates gathered In the
Academy of Music ut 7:30 this morning
and began to close up the business of the
convention. The ritual ceremonies and plea
of allegiance to tho newly elected presi
dent, Ernest E. Clark, and other State of.
fleers were conducted by tho national

PROMISE TO SHIELD
WOMAN IN SHOOTING
Continued from l'aro One
mechanism, they abandoned It at the road
side. LOOK TO BOYS FOR CLUB.
With what small clues they have had
run to earth and found of little worth,
the police have cast an eye back upon the
crowd of boys who were with Boland when
he was shot. Although their stories of
the shooting have held together and the
demeanor of each of them has been above
suspicion, the police think the solution of
the mystery may not be entirely unknown
to their little group.
Here s what tho police say may have
happened:
The boys, out for the lark of frightening
one of their circle, employed at the Phila
delphia Country Club, carried a sheet which
one of them was to use In the role of
ghost To carry a revolver or a pistol to
add to the fellow's: fright may not have
been a thought foreign to their imagina
tion. Bxaralnjng the revolver as they were
neartng the place they txpected to And
their "victim," the firearm may acci
dentally have been discharged and Boland
killed But the police have not found the
revolver. The sheet was found -n a tree
near the scene.
Coroner's Pbyslslan William S. Wads
worth made an autopsy of Bound's body to
day, but learned nothing that would point
to . aolutlon. cf the crime. Two bullets
bad entered the back of the head, one of
which had coursed out the left temple. The
physician's evidence will be presented at
tits inquest wtlcU wlU be Mid, liuaday.

"Profane Language Expected, Especially If Ladies Are

Reporter Hears Much, Mostly Unprintable
If ono strolls casually Into tho room nt

Call has his Office, listens for a while, then
strollsout, the Impreslon that will lodgo
In tho visitor's mind Is that tho atmosphere
of tho mngletrnto'a ofllce Is not so much
Juridical rs It Is profane and that the
Judge himself is not so much Juristic ns ho
Is explosive.
A Btenographcr's report of uhat nn
EvENiNa Lnnocn reporter heard yesterday
wouldn't bo fit to print. And there were
ladles present, too! But the mnglfltrato
probably had this fully In mind nnd wns
simply living up to the letter of an office
maxim thnt held a prominent place on a
wall. Said the maxim:
"Profano Innguage Is expected especially
If Indies are present "
It was reasonably early In the forenoon
and the Judge waRn't shaved. Mnybo that
was why bo was In n bad humor. Ho was
exorcising n good deal, too, for ho had to
malto many trips from his desk, where he
dispenses Justice In public, to the back room
marked "private," whore ho fixe1 up Justice
to bo d.spensed.
But nil nt once a bellow Btlllcd conversa

"We haven't got a cent out of

Willi this." '
The satellite tried to spit manfully, miss
ed tho cuspidor, tried again, and mndo It.
He returned to argue obsequiously. Ho
spoke low, nnd flatteringly, but the Judge's
anger wasn't appeased. He laid down tho
Call law on such cases! tho sntclllto spat
again, and departed on hli nsslgnment.
Then the Judge delivered a monologue,
spoken so all could hear, but meant for
himself nlone
All this while a lady, of evident foreign

of the ideals of Justice of which they beard

BUSY IN BACK llOOM
She waa noticed by tho court. Then tho
Judgo came-down to cases again. Another
trip to the back room, and something was
ogreed upon. A trio caino forth from that
room and nil trooped from the court! oom
to como back Saturday for a hearing after
tho constable does his work.
That wns tho way it was nil morning.
Everything that was accomplished was done
behind the door marked "private."

DISCUSS PROSECUTIONS
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24. Chairman Ed
ward II. Hurley and f his colleagues, of tho
Federal Trade Commission, today began
tho probe of accusations by Representatives
Ralncy, of Illinois, that tho western pack
ing Interests, by absorbing control of cer
tnln concerns In the so-called "bakery
trust," were tho powers behind the move
ment for Increasing the prlco of bread
throughout tho country. The commission
called In Assistant Attorney General Todd
for a lengthy conference as to possible pro
cedure by tho Department of Justice.
Tho commission debated the expediency
of recommending Immcdlnte enactment of
Representative Rainey's bill, removing tho
old war tax on mixed flour. The commis
sion has been flooded with appeals from
scores of western milling concorns for a
public hearing on tnls proposition beforo
decisive action Is taken. Several commis
sioners frankly asserted their belief that
the proposed law, which would give Federal
sanction to tho mixing of wheat and corn
flour with certain restrictions us to label
ing, would enable the small commercial
bakers to produce a better loaf at n much
lower cost than is now possible.

Russians Capture Two Whole
Regiments of Ottoman Troops,
Together With Rich Booty
PCTROORAD, Aug. 24. Russian troopi
havo defeated four Turkish dhlslona (80,-
000 men) In a grent battlo near the ill.
lngo of Rachtn, near Mosul, capturing two
entire Turkish regiments, It was officially
announced today. Much cannon and other '
booty was taken.
The Russian victory near Mosul Is of
great Importance as far as tho situation
on tho Asia Minor, or, to speak more pre
cisely, on tho Mesopotamia field of battle
Is concerned. Mosul Is on tho right bank
of tho Tigris, on tho way to Bagdad, from,
which It Is about 220 miles distant.
Not only Is Mosul Importnnt from the
military point of view, for Its capture by
tho Russians would clear for them the way
to Bagdad from tho north, but It Is also
from the moral standpoint, ns the city la the
capital of the vlllayet of Mosul and, though
by no means holding the commercial Im
portance It had In former times, still had'1,;
a considerable caravan trade. It has a
population oi nearly uu.uuu. j -
