Includes That Section From Ohio to Poplar, Where Double Track Crossings Are In.

A resolution calling: for double tracks on South Third street between Ohio and Poplar streets was adopted yesterday by the board of works and a communication sent at once to Manager T. F. Grover, of the traction company, informing him of the action of the board.

Recently Harry S. Montgomery, president of the board, at a conference with Manager Grover, told him that either the one track, now down this ,? portion of the street, would have to be placed in the center of the street, or double tracks would have to be in- ,• stalled.

The street is being paved and it is the wish of the board to have the work done before the pavement waa laid, .thus avoiding its being cut into afterward.

Manager Grover called up the president of the board yesterday morning and wanted to be allowed to leave the •track where it is. He said if this was allowed, the company would double track the portion of the street next year. The track now on the street Is considerably to the west of the center of the street.

A consultation was held by the board and it was pointed out that if the track were left on the west side of the .street, property owners on- the side might kick at having to pay for a portion of the east side of the track and that if the company is allowed to double track the street next year the street would be torn up again.

City Attorney Charles S. Batt was :rthen called and gave his opinion that the board could compel the company to install double tracks. At the present fftime the street intersections at Ohio,

Walnut and Poplar streets are all double tracked- The street is now torn .up preparing for the pavement and work ie being considerably* delayed because of the action of the company. "After the first conference on the subject between Montgomery and Grover, all the traction employes were taken s?from the track work and the work thus .held up.

FIRE moil DEFECTIVE FLUE.

Fire, caused from a defective flue, •nearly destroyed the grocery store and residence of J. H. Handick, 1104 Popular street, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The entire rear portion of the store was on Are when the department arrived in answer to an alarm from box No. 94. Only the prompt work of the firemen prevented a large loss. The house is in the rear of the store and the roof was badly burned. The loss will be about $200, partly covered by insurance. The grocery will resume operations Mon'day morning.

LIVE STRENUOUS LIFE

Quite in Contrast With Capital City Board, Where Long, As Well As Frequent, Rests Are the Rule.

In spite of the fact that Terre Haute is the worst city on earth and nothing good has ever emanated from the place, according to the views of the Indianapolis dailies, Terre Haute has a board of public works which will take no vacations this year, while, according to a story printed recently in the Indianapolis News, about all the board of works at the capital city does Is take vacations.

The clipping follows: "It is a hard life, this thing of be ing a member of public works, so hard, in fact, that the board—or two-thirds of it—has decided to take two vacations. The other third of the board is now enjoying a three months' vacation, but the two-thirds will have to be content with a mere month. "The other two members of the board, James E. Troy and George Gaston, will take a vacation Irom July* 17 to August 2 and another vacation from August IB to August 81. "Just to show how much more etren

This is the bunch of live wires thai arranged the annual outing of Post Q, Travelers Protective association Saturday. The outing was the most successful in the history of the post and they were given a vote of thanks for their efforts.

uous it is to be a board member than an ordinary city employe, the employes are getting vacations of only ten days each, whereas the board members require from a month to three months. Mr. Rink is now enjoying a three months' rest in Michigan after Ave strenuous months on the board. Mr. Rink's salary is $3,000 a year. TJie other board members receive $2,600 a year each."

Harry S. Montgomery, president of the board of works of Terre Haute, told a Tribune reporter, when asked about vacations, that he had never had one and is now getting too old to begin taking them. The other board members said they had all they could do to attend to business without going to the lakes and other vacation spots. Ever sine© the hew board of works was appointed work has been the order of the day. Every day will find Harry S. Montgomery, president, and George Ehrenhardt, one of the members, out in Montgomery's auto inspecting the new street improvements, while Charles Mancourt, secretary of the board, remains in the office, attends to the office work and takes care of visitors. The hours for the local board are from 8 to 5 and they are adhered to strictly. None of the board members haa missed a day since appointed.

GERMAN NINESSPREAD DEATH IN NORTH SEA

LONDON, Aug. 22.—Floating mines, planted by the German squadron in the North sea have claimed two vessels. The Danish steamers Maryland and Broberg, playing from Copenhagen over British North Sea routes, struck mines and sunk. The fate of the crew of the Maryland is uncertain, but it is feared all were lost. The crew of the Broberg, with a single exception, were saved.

The Maryland, en route to Hull, struck the mine on Friday. Her entire forward part was completely demolished and she sank almost immediately. The Broberg, nearly ten miles away, saw the disaster but when she reached the scene it was nearly dark and, although two boats were put over and combed the sea in the vicinity, no members of the Maryland's crew could be located.

The captain of the Broberg anchored for the night and resumed the search at daylight today. Steaming slowly along the Broberg struck a second mine and, like the Maryland, she was so badly injured that she sank almost immediately. The crew of the Broberg got their.boats over before their vessel foundered and were able to remain afloat until another vessel rescued them. One member of the crew, who was below when the explosion took place, was crushed to death.

Naval officials admit this latest navy tragedy indicates that the Germans have thoroughly sown their mines throughout the North sea and that the big British battle fleet Is in instant danger.

UP. ANXIOUS TO flGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 22.— "We will send the German cruiser Leipsig to the bottom of the Pacific in a hurry if we are able to locate her. There is no doubt about that."

This was the parting shot here of 'Captain Morriyma, of the Japanese cruiser Idzumo, just before he took his vessel out to sea at 10 p. m. The Idzumo's departure was as sudden as it was mysterious. A^i order for Ave hundred tons of coal was to have been delivered, but it was countermanded^ immediately after the receipt of a code message from Japan. "Just where we are going, I will not say," said Captain Moriyama, "but we will not be more than 200 miles from San Francisco at any time. We will effer protection to ail Japanese, French and English vessels, on the Pacific. I believe that as soon as the Leipsig learns the Idzumo is doing patrol work along the Pacific coast, she will depart for other waters."

WHOLE WORLD AT WAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—All world powers except the United States and Italy are at war.

Imminent, and to practically all officialdom, inetvitable war between Japan and Germany tonight left this country isolated among the great nations, in enjoyment of peace. News from Tokio of a war declaration against the kaiser was expected hourly tonight. Japanese Ambassador Chinda believed war inevitable.

Above the war clouds rose President Wilson's determination to keep this government, at all hazards, wMthin honor, from being involved. Announcement that Japan had been notified of this nation's strict neutrality and "hands off" policy was made today by Secretary of State Bryan.

Ladies' Colonial Pumps, patent and dull leather, odd lot, nearly all A and iwidths, $3.50 and $4.00

Labor day in Terre Haute this year promises to be the biggest affair of the kind ever given, according to reports handed in yesterday to Jacob Frisz, chairman of the general committee in charge of the arrangements. An Innovation in the arrangements for the celebration has been announced with the selection of D. J. Williams as the principal speaker of the day. Heretofore the speaker has been an out-of-town man, but this year the committee decided to procure a local speaker, and Mr. Williams was selected to talk.

The entertainment committee has announced plans for a unique program during the day. Potato races, bicycle races and shoe races have been announced for the boys. The shoe race will be the first efver held at a Labor day celebration. The contestants will be made to take off their shoes, run a distance, and then return and put on their shoes. Handsome prizes will be awarded the winners.

For the ladies a number of races have been arranged, and they promise to .furnish tl^ills for the crowds. Fat, lean, small and tall women will compete on the track for valuable prizes. As a special attraction for the women, it has been announced that a handsome prize will be awarded to the woman holding the lucky number. Each woman entering the grounds will be given a number, and later a drawing will be held.

The program for the day will begin in the morning, and will be concluded at 6 o'clock in the evening. The committee decided to close at 5 o'clock in order to avoid any rowdyism which might occur after dark.

Horse races, motorcycle races and automobile races halve been arranged for the afternoon. One of the interesting contests to be held will be the tug-of-war between the different unions of the city. Instead of a rope a pair of overalls will be used, and the winning team will be given overalls for their prowess.

The last meetings of the executive committee will be held this week, it was announced last night, and final details for the celebration are expected to be arranged.

CHINA MUCH WORRIED

SHANGHAI, Aug. 22.—Despite the protestations of the Japanese government that It contemplates no territorial aggrandizement, Tokio newspapers are reported as urging that if ijapan is compelled to use force to eject the Germans, she cannot be expected to relinquish the territory so acquired. This announcement is known to be causing China's government much worry. Advices from Pekin say the president and cabinet have been in almost continuous session consid erlng the situation. China is bitterly disappointed because the United Statesdid not see fit to side with her and urge Germany peacefully to surrender her far eastern possessions without a struggle.

There is a fear here yet that Japan and China may yet become involved in the war. Japan in taking over KiaoChow may not be satisfied with only the German territory, but the Pekin government believes England will oppose any grab of China at this time because it might result in serious complications with other nations.

TERRE HAUTEANS ADVANCE.

GERMANY MUTE

Continued From Pago Ona,

aneee charge at Berlin gave him the authority to leave the German capital, give possession of his embassy and Japanese interests there to Ambassador Gerard and ask for his passports, "in any emergency." Ignoring of the expiration of the time limit of the ultimatum or flat refusal to comply by Germany is the expected "emergency." At the Japanese embassy it was stated that if Germany should equivocate in her reply, time would probably be afforded for exchange of the note and its consideration in Tokio, postponing departure of the Japanese charge in Berlin.

The possibility of Germany's reply being an open declaration of war on Japan, considering the ultimatum as an insult, was also a development not overlooked in diplomatic circles.

Baron Chinda personally asked Bryan today to transmit his detailed instructions to the Nipponez charge in Berlin to turn over the embassy to Ambassador Gerard. That the United States will undertake to act in a similar capacity for the German government at Tokio is also practically settled. Charge Haimhausen discussed this matter with Bryan today, It was reported.

To keep the United States free from the vortex of war was the part President Wilson played in the rapidly moving diplomatic situation today. Through Ambassador Guthrie at Tokio, Secretary Bryan announced, Japan was told that this government had full confidence in Japan's Intentions to maintain China's Integrity and ultimately to return Klao-Chow. At the same time this government refused to discuss the ultimatum, maintaining that its strict neutrality was necessary. Japan was notified, however, that this government would expect to be notified if Japan* contemplated any further territorial moves in the far east.

MODERNISM THE ISSUE

ROM1E, Aug. 22.—The war undoubtedly will have its effect on the election, despite the attempts to remove the election from all secular influences. The famous "Spanish veto" cannot be used in the present conclave. This is the first conclave in history governed by the strictest order issued by Pope Pius himself, that any cardinal or other person seeking to exercise the power of veto shall be excommunicated.. It now appears likely that the selection of the successor to Pope Pius will hinge greatly upon the question of "modernism." In the sacred college there is now one faction beliesVifig the late pope's policies should be continued and another element somewhat more liberal. Pope Pius steadfastly fought the tendency to accept only those portions of the scripture which stand the test of science and higher criticism. His holiness also took a firm stand against "feminism," bell eving the only two flleds for women were the home and the church.

BOYS' CLUB BREAKS CAMP.

The members of the Flora Gulick Boys' ^lub have returned from their camp at the Shades and all of them are enthusiastic over the vacation they enjoyed. The camp was a success and the boys under the supervision of Raymond Miller spent an excellent outing in the open air. The swimming was excellent and the fishing was fair, and all of the boys have become first class boosters for the organization that furnished them the treat of their lives. Providing their own bedding, the boys slept in the open, and every one returned to the city, tanned and hardened, and ready to go back to his job for the winter.

POLICE ON VACATION.

Bicycleman Robert Lloyd, who has been on a ten days' fishing trip, returned last night to work with two big blisters on his hand, which he says he got holding a pole and line. He, however, did not bring back any fish.

Bicvcleman James Allen left last night for a ten day's auto tour through the southern part of the state, and Motorcycleman William Huffman left for a ten days' trip to Chicago and Lake Michigan.

SOFT PEOAL APPLIED TO MUSIC IN SALOONS

Mayor Curtails Spread of Cabaret^ Too Much Complaint, Says His Honor.

PARIS, Aug. 23.—The official war bureau this morning emphatically denied the reports that the Germans) have won a sweeping victory in Lorraine the statement says: "While the French, facing a superior force, have retired from Lorraine proper, the claims of a French defeat are grossly exaggerated. The French successes in Alsace are far more important than the German successes in Lorraine. "The French conquest of the passes of the Vosges mountains is complete. The French hold the heights of the Vossges plateaus and dominate the plains of Donon and the pass leading to Colmar."

According to officials at the war office, the German aggressive movement is Lorraine, which has been developing for the last two days, has now suffered a severe check. The Germans have been baffled in their attempt to capture the Schirmeke valley passes and are declared to have lost vw» heavily in the ensuing flghtlnff, ,» 1

EMANCIPATION DAY.

Arrangements Made for Its Celebra tlon on September 22. F. M. Anderson is chairman of the committee of colored citizens named to arrange for the observance of the anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, which will be held at Lake View park on Tuesday, September 22, the other members being James A. Bishop, S. D. Simpson, Guy Holt, and Marlon Cochran. It has been decided to hajve no parade this year, but the money heretofore expended on that feature will be used to provide amusements at the park. There will be a program of athletic events, music, addresses, etc. It is the intention of the committee to make this observance of the 'day so dear to the hearts of members of their race the most pretentious that" has ever been undertaken here.

Y. M. C. A. CLASSES.

Most of the activities during the past week at the Y. M. C. A. have been confined to the swimming pool a.nd the leaders' classes, which have been taking the advanced work under the direction of IT. Evans, director of boys' work. The pool has been one of the most popular places in the city during the hot weather and the leaders classes have been well attended by boys who are anxious to advance their standing in the athletic work of the association. These classes will be continued until the regular class work starts in the fall and the boys who have taken advantage of it will be considerably in advance of the others.

"Mrs. Rip Van Winkle," "Sweet Madeline" and the plaintive assurance '1 Love You Best of AJ1" were all put under the lid by order of Mayor Donn M. Roberts Saturday evening. In other words music in the saloons has been cut out. When the mayor arrived home from Albany he was greeted with several complaints from different parts of the city as to how the mechanical pianos were disturbing the peace and quiet of the several neighborhoods. The cabarets which have been tolerated in some of the west end places had spread uptown and while they met the approval of patrons of the bright lights, the general demand was for a little more of the soft pedal.

Mayor Roberts told Assistant Chief Nugent that no favorites should be played and that everyone should be treated alike. Hence the banishment of "Mrs. Rip Van Winkle" and the worriment about who paid her rent.

The tango too, had broken out in spots and the police order also went for the dancing. As a result of the order there will likely be an exodus of the pianos from the rear rooms of the, saloons.
