Gray, of New Rochelle, for authority to operate "jitney 'busefl" on sbc. routes In New Rochelle, has approved four of the routes and has disapproved two. This refusal applies to routes which would run on the same Btreets with Btreet cars, or closely parallel to them, thus -introducing unnecessary competition.

EXTRA NEWS ON TURKEYS,

Strange to Say, But War Hf* Kept Price Down. Ed Joslln, of Blackhawk, writes to the Tribune that the wet season has retarded the turkeys, and that while they may be a little scarce and high at Thanksgiving time, they will be plentiful and cheap at Christmas. Ed says: "A Chicago paper publishes a strange thing. It accounts for the low prices from the fact that no one Is traveling to Europe, and the ships which former ly took car loads of turkeys from Indiana, Ohio and Illllnols, now are not taking a turkey, all on account of the war."

"Bring Home the Bacon" is Girl's Watchword, Says Woman Detective

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—Mrs. Bessie A. Bierman, head of a local detective agency, which was employed by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence E. Bacon to protect them from encounters with Miss Ada M. Cox, "the Mann act woman," has furnished some interesting revelations in the startling "Adventures of Ada." Miss Cox will be recalled as the girl who secured $17,000 in a breach of promise suit against William Ilufus Edwards, millionaire St. Paul lumberman, last year. She is still prosecuting him under the Mann white slave act. "I have known Mr. and Mrs. Bacon for about twelve years," said Mrs. Bierman, "and when Miss Cox's attention passed beyond their control my agency was retained to trail her ana protect the Bacons from her.

Prior the trip Mr. Bacon mother had received a letter from a Miss Cox stating that she had been wronged by Mr. Bacon.

Baeoii Absolved by Firm. "Miss Cox followed the Bacons to Boston. She registered at a big hotel as Mrs. E. Bacon, From .there she telephoned Mr. Bacon's mother and declared that Mr. Bacon ought to marry her. She also wrote to Mr. Bacon's firm in New York. Representatives of the firm came to Chicago and Investigated and returned satisfied that Mr. Bacon was being made the victim of a plot. "Mr. Bacon's business is such that he has to travel in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa to call on tailors. My operatives followed Miss Cox on a number of trips when she followed Mr. Bacon out of town. She went to Springtiold, to Peoria, to Kansas City, to Des Moines, Burlington and Milwaukee. "Most of the time nhe would go to the hotel where Mr. Bacon was stopping and register as Mrs. L. E. Bacon and then represent herself as his wife. She would follow him through the streets. When he was out of her sight she employed detectives to follow him.

Bacon Absolved by Firm. "Miss Cox picked up an acquaintance with Mr. Bacon on a Broadway car almost three years ago. As soon as he learned who she was he began to avoid her, but found It hard work. Apparently the woman Is determined to separate Mr. Bacon from his wife, and marry him. "Three weeks ago, after a period in which Mr. Bacon had succeeded ij) evading Miss Cox, she caught him on the telephone, and promised him that if he would meet her and talk to her Just once, she would return to her parents' home in Arkansas. "Mr. Bacon consented and met her in the Hotel La Salle. Two operatives from my agency overheard all of the conversation. "Miss Cox Insisted Mr. Bacon se-

JAPAN ASKS OF

Rquests United States to Aid Project of Postponing Return of Monarchy Until End of War.

TOKIO, Oct. 30.—The Japanese government has requested the American government to give Its support to the representations which are being made at Peking for the purpose of pDStponing re-establishment of a monarchy in China until the European war is ended.

Japan's policy was decided upon after consultation with Great Britain. The conversations began' while Baron Ishli was in London several weeks ago, on his way from Paris, where he had served as Japanese ambassador at Toklo, to assume the foreign affairs portfolio

There Is much Interest here in the attitude of Germany in regard to the form of China's government. Contradictory reports have been received here CDncemlng the position taken by German diplomats at Peking.

ATTITUDE OF U. 8.

Officials Indicate China Should Settle Matter By Herself. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Secretary Lansing declined to discuss the nature of Japan's request that the United States support a general representation to China advising against any change In her form of government at this time.

It Is known that the Japanese ambassador here recently took up the situation Informally with Secretary Lansing. The American government, it is understood, took the position that It could not express any views on the subject because to do so, might be construed as an interference in ttie internal affairs of a sovereign state.

No notes on the subject, however, as understood to have been exchanged and the attitude of the American government will continue to be one of an interested observer. So far as can be gathered, sentiment has not crystallized here on whether the change from republic to monarchy would be advisable but the natural sympathy Is In favor of the republican form. It Is realized, however, that many advantages would accrue from a nationalization of the Chinese people through a parliamentary monarchy, but the problem, it 1$ felt, is one that China should be left free to work out for herself.

SOCIALISTS IN BOSTON HEAR DEBS' LECTURE

Says He Regrets European Socialists Did Not Take Stand Against War.

'Gene Debs, Terre Haute's most successful lecturer, spoke in Boston, Mass,, in Tremont temple Wednesday night, and told the Back Bay folks what he thinkB of war, and it isn't much. 'Gene says he would rather be shot as a traitor than vote dollar tax for war. The Boston Post in reporting his lecture says Mr. Debs delivered an impressive message: "Talk about the men of Europe fighting for patriotism and for love of their country," he said to the 3,000 men and women who crowded into the temple, "the workingman In any part of the world never had a country—he never had a country to flght for.

Let Capitalists Fght.

"The countries are owned by the capitalists let the capitalists fight for them. If we have a war in this country and you see Morgan and John D. Rockefeller coming out and enlisting as soldiers to fight for their country, the country they own, you men In this hall will then know you'll be in good form to enlist alongside of them, only let them enlist first for they will be fighting for what belongs to them. If you can put the ruling class to fighting you will put an end to war. "As a socialist I can very sincerely regret that any socialist In Europe should have voted one dollar toward a war appropriation. Of course even at this distance we can appreciate that these men, our brothers in the warring countries, stood In the midst of tremendous pressure. But It would have been better If they had chosen to stand like a stone wall In the midst of Just such pressure and told their countrymen that not one dollar would they vote for war purposes. To my mind they should have maintained their International standing.

Prefer Death for Treason. "If this country of ours were at war I would not vote one penny toward financing such a war as Is in progress in Europe at the present time. I would rather be shot a thousand times for treason, if this were construed as treason, before casting such a vote. Better by far be shot for treason to the capitalistic class than to live and be a traitor to the working class. "We socialists are opposed to war, and that brings to my mind that the continued existence of war Is another reason why women should be given the vote because war plunges her into grief, destruction and death and with the war having been undertaken without consulting her.."

BABE TAKES LONG JOURNEY.

Margii Gets Divorce

While Chester Wails

Two hundred miles from home the touch of a young man's hand as he shook hers In a friendly greeting, caused her heart to flutter and later they were married. Late Friday Mrs. Chester Webster, known to her school girl chums as Miss Margii Sparks, was granted a divorce by Judge Charles Pulliam In the Circuit Court. Cruel and inhuman treatment was her charge,

It was the yuletlde when Miss Sparks, barely more than 17 years eld, went to the big city with her heart filled with good will and Christmas cheer. A friend Introduced her to Chester Webster, the son of a well-to-do tailor. A rapid courtship was followed by a trip to a Justice of the peace. Two days of bliss followed. "But before I settle down, 1 must go home and tell the folks and get some of my clothes," was the parting of Mrs. Webster as she boarded a train for Terre Haute. Chester tearfully awaited the return of his bride. And he Is still waiting.

When Mrs. Webster arrived home she told her parents. Ther. she decided married life offered no consolation for her. So she dropped Chester a note and told him she wasn't coming back. This made the young man angry and he started the press wires busy with charges that the young woman was being forcibly detained at Rome. Sut Mr?\ Webster said she "just could not bear him and wasn't going back." The divorce suit followed.

In granting the divorce Judge Pulliam advised the young woman to be careful with her heart hereafter. Speedy affairs often prove costly ones, he told her.

Suit for divorce was filed by Attorney A. Z. Thomas and the charge of cruel and inhuman treatment consisted of "Chester acting coolly toward his bride," the complaint alleges.

)RDERED TO SALUTE FLAG.

Firemen and Policemen Come Under 8afety Board Order.
