SUBWAY TRAINS
AGAIN OPERATED
ON INTERBOROUGH
Go Out Soon After the Strik
ers Receive Increase
in Wages
New York, Aug. 19.—The first two
subway trains to be operated after
settlement of the Interborough
strike were taken out on the Lenox
avenue and Bronx Park divisions
promptly at midnight, both south
bound from uptown. Both trains
were crowded with passengers.
Under the terms of settlement the
men will receive a wage increase of
twenty-five per cent, and it is pro
vided that the question of whether
they shall receive the additional
twenty-five per cent, demanded bv
them shall be submitted to arbitra
tion.
The twenty-five per cent, wage in
crease was made retroactive to Au
gust 1 and. according to Interbor
ough officials, means an annual in
crease in the payroll of $5,000,000.
Settlement of the strike came at
the end of a chaotic day in which
the Interborough's 2,500,000 daily
patrons plodded to work in a driv
ing rain through choked thorough
fares, rode-jammed surface car
lines, steam trains and steamboats,
or committed themselves to the not
too tender mercies of mushroom
auto bus lines.
Although the terms of settlement
were regarded as liberal by officials
of the Interborough and State and
city officials, the striking Brother
hood of Interborough Rapid Transit
Company employes did not accept
them readily. It was only after P.
J. Connolly, their president; M. J.
Mangan. secretary, and James M.
Cochrane. 6ergeant-at-arms, expostu
lated and pleaded with them for
more than a half hour that they
consented. Connolly predicted that
a large part of the additional
twenty-five per cent, increase asked
for would be won by arbitration.
With the 6trike at an end, Dis
trict Attorney Swann, of New York
county, and District Attorney Mar
tin. of the Bronx, both announced
that they would continue investiga
tions of charges made by Mayor
Hyland that the strike had been
brought about by collusion of In
terborough officials with leaders of
the "company unicm" for the pur
pose of forcing an eight-cent fare.

first toning the liver by removing
exeessiveness of bile
2. It helps the Stomach digest all
the food you eat, separating the

tive and in a short time will insure
perfect regularity.
4. It purifies the Blood and gives
the Strength which puts the "LIFE"
and "PEP" in you that Nature in
tended.

TUESDAY EVENING,
PALMER WANTS
TO IMPRISON ALL
FOOD PROFITEERS
Attorney Says Prices Fixed by
Committee Will Be Ac
cepted as Standard
New York, Aug. 19. Attorney
General Palmer, .addressing the
Fair Price Committee here appealed
for aid in sending to jail "uncon
scientious profiteers" in the necessi
ties of life. He said he had come
from Washington to give instruc
tions for conducting the campaign
here for fair prices, because "New*
York is the natural leader in this
movement, and the eyes of the na
tion are fixed upon it."
"The prices set by fair price com
mittees will be accepted as stand
ard," said Mr. Palmer, "and charges
in excess of those prices will be
prima facie evidence of profiteer
ing."
Quick Action Urged
Washington, Aug. 19. Quicker
action by Congress in the campaign
to reduce the cost of living was
urged yesterday in Senate and
House. Senator Walsh declared high
prices were at the bottom of all the
unrest and charged that Congress
was wasting time when something
should have been done already In
response to President Wilson's
recommendations.
Mayors of New Jersey cities ap
pearing before the House Agricul
ture Committee said action was
needed at once to stop the rising
scale of prices. Regulation of im
ports was one means suggested. The
amendment broadening the food
control act will be considered dur
ing the day by the committee and
probably reported to the House.
Representative Siegel, Republican,
New York, submitted figures on the
increased cost of clothing, which
showed, he said, that in most cases
the retailer makes fifty per cent,
profit and in some places 100 per
cent. He presented figures to show
that an overcoat costing the manu
facturer $10.85 in 1917, advanced to
$17.57 in 1918, and to $22.62 by last
week.

GENERALSNYDER
WRITES LIFE OF
COL. ROOSEVELT
Auditor General's History Con
tains Some Unique Features;
Is Highly Interesting
One of the most interesting, in
forming. and unique histories of the
life of the late President Roosevelt
has been prepared by Auditor Gen
eral Charles A. Snyder. It is a com
pilation of absorbing interest, recit
ing in detail the story of the most
I versatile career America has ever
produced. The record of his ances
try and boyhood, from the pen of
Roosevelt himself, facsimiles of let
ters written by him when nine years
of age, an account of college days
at Harvard, the entrance into poli
tics and his subsequent brilliant and
unprecedented career are all por
trayed with fullness and accuracy'.
Not only do we fiqd here all the pub
lic events, but choice extracts from
many of his great speeches delivered
in this country and abroad. There
is not a phase of his life as Presi
dent, hunter, soldier, historian,
statesman, and orator that is not
briefly touched upon.
The compilation is unique in that
it contains Senator Chauncey M. De-
Pew's happy speech nominating
Roosevelt for the Vice-Presidency, at
the Republican National Convention
held in Philadelphia in 1900, in
cludes photographs taken at every
period of his eventful life, together
with the last photograph made in
Philadelphia, when visiting Gov
ernor W. C. Sprout, and embraces
in the final series the celebrated
' Long, Long Trail," which appeared
in the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The addresses of Henry Cabot
Lodge in Washington, Charles E.
Hughes in New York, of General
Wood in Kansas City, and the mes
sages that came from all parts of
the civilized world, after "The Last
Adventure,' are all included, to
gether with the most notable edi
torials appearing in the greatest
American journals.
His last letter written the day be
fore he "passed on" to join the great
army of immortals, his attitude to
ward the presidency, his tribute to
the teaching profession, his final ap
peal for Americanism, the record ,e
--his four sons in the great war, pic
tures of the home on Sagamore Hill,
which is to become as familiar to
Americans as the Washington home
at Mount Vernon, and the Lincoln
cabin, of Ex-President Taft, Vice-,
President Marshall, "Uncle Joe"'
Cannon, William Loeb, Jr., General
Wood, all combine to make a biogra
phy of Roosevelt as fascinating as
it is unique. .
Indeed it is to be questioned
whether as complete a life record of
this big-brained, stout-hearted, in
tensely earnest, thoroughly honest,
forceful and resourceful American is
in existence and the flying years will
enhance its interest.
DEMOCR ATS WE OF
BAD LEADERSHIP
[Continued from First Page.]
"headquarters" was a general criti
cism of the men who had gotten into
the field. Men who had decided to
enter the primaries to keep the
party from going without candidates
as it had to do last year when the
Dictatorship neglected to see that a
nominee was put forward for Con
gress while the President was calling
on all voters to support him were
informed that they were not the
right caliber for holding office. It
seems that their principal offense
was taking the initiative into their
own hands.
While a sufficient number of can
didates filed petitions to-day to keep
the Democratic city and county
ballots from being blank, the fact
remains that the party as a party
really has no ticket in the field. It
Is a case of every man for himself
with the exception of one more or
less favored candidate whom it is
understood will be "helped."
While several men whose honesty
.of purpose is not questioned by the
poll workers have filed for city of
fices, the fact remains that the
Democratic organization through no
fault of the men entrusted in getting
out the vote is without a candidate
for Mayor or for City Council. No
one has been brought forward for
School Board and for most of the
county offices. It is true, of course,
that several of these places are be
ing sought by individuals but these
men must rely solely on their own
efforts to get votes. They will have
no one interested to see that their
friends get registered or get out to
the polls. It was the mean criticism
of men of this class which really
turned many of the ward workers
into openly announcing that they
are willing to follow a new leader
ship.

Only One Thing Now
Lacking—Money
"I have doctored nine years for
stomach and liver trouble and spent
thousands of dollars, but, instead of
becoming cured of these ailments,
my bloating and pains and attacks
became worse. I was persuaded fi
year ago to take Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy and have never suffered
since taking the first dose. I wish
7 had the money back I spent for- r
other medicine." It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes -
the catarrhal mucus from the in
testinal tract and allays the inflam
mation which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money re
