FLOORWALKER GASPS AT A TUB SHOPLIFTER

"Washtub Special Sale Proves the Undoing of a Black Bl&nchiseuse.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Sept 4.— Washtubs of all shapes and sizes were strewn over the counters of one of Birmingham's stores, and huge placards announced the sole of these tubs at prices In no way commensurate with their size. The tubs were large and the prices small, so the washerwomen of Birmingham deserted their irons— on a nice day for lrondn', too—and hied them to the store for purohasee.

A black wave swept over and around the wash tubs. The clerks were enveloped and the tubs began to disappear the purchaser "toted" away the tubs, with smiles adorning their 'faces. One washerwoman, carrying weight of age, had formed part of the darkhued rush, but left the crowd after a few minutes in the midst of the seething fray.

She carried no washtub. From her size it seemed she had all the weight she could carry. She was passing down one of the aisles and was almost clear of the rush, when there was a jam- A floor walker was also caught in the aisle between the huge cleaner of soiled linen and a counter, and It seemed he was due to be crushed.

The sharp edge of the counter pressed into one side, and he leaned toward the dark weight on his left, expecting to find it softer. Instead, a sharp circular edge threatened to cut him oft at the hips. Surprised, he reached to save himself and his hand encountered the rim of a washtub. The washerwoman had her tub, but It was under her skirt and not under her arm.

The tub was removed and the washerwoman went back to her ironin' with a reprimand, but without the tub.

OLD STOCK IN OLD TRUNK OPENS UP CLOSED ESTATE

Worth $100,000 Now and Heirs Must Go Into Court Again for a New Division.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 4.—The discovery a year ago of corporation stock now said to be worth approximately $100,000 by Miss Juanita Rieves, round wnile rummaging through an old trunk, has become known. The stock was issued in 1842 and 1855 to her grandfather, John G. Shelton. The mass of folded and wrinkled papers included fortynine shares of Ohio & Missisippi railroad stock, thirty shares of the St. Louis gas company, fifty shades in the Missouri wine company, and Pacific tax certificates exchangeable for stock.

According to an attorney to whom the stock has been turned over, the estate of Mr. Shelton, who died in 1869, will have to be reopened to divide the value of the stocks among ten heirs now living. The estate was closed In 1876. Seven of the heirs reside in St. Louis. The others are Miss Ada Campbell and Thomas Campbell of Chicago, and Mrs. D. N. McCleary of Pawhuska, Okla.

Military Governor in Charge of Defenses of Paris

I

GENERAL GALLIENI.

In General Gallieni, the new military governor of Paris, France, is said to have a good military man in whose vigor, judgment and tenacity she can safely rely. General Gallieni is sixtyfive years of age. He was made a prisoner at Sedan in the Franco-Prus-sian war of 1870, and he has rendered distinguished services to France in Africa. He has held important commands In France, and the French war office believes it has shown excellent Judgment in selecting him in the present instance.

General Gallieni has ordered all buildings within a circle of thirty-four miles of Paris to be razed, and the famous forest of St. Germain is to meet a similar fate in order that the Germans may find no shelter. Included in the buildings to be razed is the ?1,000,000 Gould home near Neuilly.

FOOD PRICE BOOSTERS OF CAPITAL INDICTED

Thirty-Two True Bills Are Returned As Result of Investigation in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Thirtytwo indictments were returned here today by a federal grand jury after an investigation to determine whether food prices had been artificially Increased here on pretext of having been caused toy the European war.

Bench warrants were issued for all the indicted men who are local commission merchants or produce dealers and bail was arranged for their appearance In court. No nationally known concerns were indicted. The indictment charges that they have been fixing prices every day on food stuffs by "ballots" or "suggestions' or verfoal agreements and the fixed prices have been circulated by printed circulars. The Indictments are under the Sherman law and conviction carries a fine of $5,000 or one year's imprisonment or both.

The grand Jury Investigation which was under the direction of former At-torney-General MoReynolds was one of many begun by the department of Justice immediately after President Wilson's letter to the department of justice directing a country wide Inquiry Into whether certain dealers were not making the European war a pretext for raising prices.

MINE FIRE A UTILITY.

CARBOrN~DAXjB, Pa., Sept. 4 That the mine fire which has raged beneath the Belmont section of this city for the last ten years has its advantages for the residents was discovered by a motion picture photographer, taking pictures In the flre district for reproduction of "movie" screens throughout the country.

Many of the property owners have closed their homes and removed to other sections of the city to wait for the flre to burn Itself out or to be extinguished, but a few of those who remain here are making the best of conditions.

The moving picture men fonnd one woman who utilizes the mine flre in baking potatoes and other vegetables. She simply drops the "spuds" into a crevice in her back yard, leaves them there about an hour and takes them out as thoorughly baked as if they had reposed in the oven of her kitchen range.

Explaining her discovery the housewife said she seldom keeps a flre in her kitchen through the summer. In an emergency she can boil eggs and prepare simple dishes with the aid of the stovelike crevice.

In Canaan street the operators found a man who supplies his home with hot water in a similar manner- When he installed his water heating system, last venter, this Ingenious citizen went, thinly clad, into hte garden and dug deeply into the warm earth. Then he colled one hundred feet of lead pipe into the hole and refilled it.

Even in zero weather the family had a steady supply of warm water and the scheme has worked so well that the ingenious one is considering a plan to elaborate the system and heat the house with it next winter.

X'UREE HAUTE TRIBES*..

AD

One of the wireless messages which has helped clarify the mystery was ad dressed to H. B. Hunt at No. 128 West Seventieth street, New York. The message was picked up on Sept. 1 at a station near New York while being transmitted from the British cruiser Suffolk to the Marconi station at Siasconsett, Mass. In this message Mr. Hunt was directed to bring a quantity of provisions and some newspapers to a point two miles south of Ambrose lightship at 11 o'clock the following morning. Among the provisions asked for was fresh beef.

The following day, Sept. 2, as the Cunard liner Olympic passed quarantine, bound out, she sent from her wireless the call letters of the Suffolk and after receiving an acknowledgement, transmitted a dispatch signed "Hunt." In this "Hunt" informed the commander of the British cruiser that he had been at a point two miles south of the lightship at 11 o'clock that morning but as the Suffolk failed to put In an appearance he would be there again at 3 o'clock that afternoon. Whether any provisions were actually delivered could not be determined.

Hunt Admits Receipt.

To a representative of the Associated Press, H. B. Hunt at the address in West Seventieth street flatly denied that he had ever received a radiogram from the Suffolk. Later, when informed of the contents of the message and told that it was known he had signed for it, Mr. Hunt admitted that he had received it. "But I did not take the provisions out to the cruiser," he declared. "I was formerly a British subject, but am now an American citizen. I have done much work for the British admiralty, and for a number of years past I have always furnished provisions to British warships when they were in American waters."

Mr. Hunt denied that he had sent the radiogram transmitted by the Olympic. He said he did not know who "had used his name without his authority." In reply to a question as to whether he intended in the future to transport shipments to British criusers of the coast, Mr. Hunt said he had not decided.

Ambassador's Statement.

Count von Bernstorff said that he had made an official complaint to Secretary of State Bryan, at Washington, about the provisioning and coaling of the British ships.

The ambassador said that the information had come toi him through his secretary, who received it from "other sources." "I have positive information," he continued, "that the cruisers sent wireless messages to the British consulate, in New York. Soon after a vessel flying the American flag, accompanied by several coal barges, put out of New

he intended to take, if any. The neutrality laws were so vague, he declared, that he did not know yet exactly what he was going to do.

Intercepted wireless messages, copied at the various stations in the vicinity of New York at which the United States government has placed censors, would seemingly explain the periodic appearance of British cruisers off the entrance of New York harbor.

Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, has repeatedly expressed conviction that the British men-of-war were both provisioned and coaled from New York.

Movements Suspicious.

Maritime men have been totally unable to explain why first one ana tflen another of the cruisers Known xo De off the coast would come within the three mile limit, remain a while and then hurry off to sea again. How tbese cruisers managed to obtain provisions has also been the source of much spec ulation.

York harbor to the cruisers and at a point ten miles outside the three mile limit supplied them with ammunition, coal ar.d provisions. According to my information, this has been going on for tome time and the port of New York has been made the supply depot for English men of war."

The ambassador said that it was his information that coal 'and provisions were supplied by American firms. "The American people Want peace," the ambassador continued, '"but every load of ammunition and provisions that leaves here for England or for her ships means that war will continue that much longer."

The ambassador said that Germany had not received arms, ammunitions or provisions from dealers in the Unit ed States.

At the British consulate Sir Walter Bennett, consul-general to New York, declined to take any notice of the allegations made by the German ambassador.

NO PROTEST FILED.

Matter of Provisioning Warships Not Before Department. WASHINGTON, Sept 4.—Count Von Bernstroff, the German ambassador, has not presented to the state department any evidence of coaling and provisioning British warships at sea by an American vessel. The ambassador asserted recently that American Arms were selling ammunition to Great Britain, but did not take the subject up with the department.

Officials of the department informally explained today that the attitude of the United States was clearly established. Firms can sell ammunition to any belligerents, all such articles being subjeot, however, to capture at sea as contraband cargo.
