Mrs. Earle Reynolds Hurt In Fall at North American.

Mr, and Mrs. Earle Reynolds and daughter, Helen., arrived in Rensselaer Tuesday evening, having been forced to discontinue their engagement at the North American in Chicago, for a time, at least, due to an accident to Mrs. Reynolds recently. The Reynolds family has been at the North —American in Qhlcagd, where they have been putting on hireir ice“skatmg acts for the past three weeks. Tremendous crowds have greeted them on every appearance, and their act made a greater hit with North American patrons than any previous entertainment given at that place. The accident which happened to Mrs. Reynolds occurred during one of her individual acts. The world’s premier lady skater fell and injured her spine, and upon advice of a physician will take a two weeks rest. Mr. Reynolds and Helen finished the act of the evening. Mrs. Reynolds will remain in Rensselaer two weeks before taking up her duties again; j

Case Against Claude Hickman For Stealing Nails Dismissed.

Claude Hickman, who was jerked \ unceremoniously before a justice 7of the peace who in turn as unceremonioualy bound him over to the circuit court for having taken a handful of nails, was in Kentland Monday for his hearing and came through with a clean sheet. -Lt all-happened this way: Hickman while working for a -man named Hintz, near the Lawler ranch, was helping fill silo on the Lawler farm. The rack which Hintz had given him to work with seems to have been m bad repair and at noon while at dinner Claude noticed several kegs of nails at the premises and picked up a few handful and threw in his dinner , bucket, thinking to repair the dilapi- 1 dated ladders with them. Maurice Gorman, Mr. Lawler’s foreman, discovered them and promptly had him arrested for theft. He was brought to Rensselaer and lodged in jail and was later released on bond to appear before the court Monday, Oct. 9th? But the plaintiff seems to have gotten hold of himself and was then too willing to pay the costs and drop the thing, which Mr. Hickman agreed to do. Mr. Gorman seemed to realize what an injustice he had done Mr. Hickman by his hasty act. However, in justice to Mr. Gorman let it be said that he was trying to stamp out an evil that seems to have existed around Mr. Lawler’s places. That of petty thieving. This seems to have been going on for some time, and Mr. Gorman thought he had a certain other party. He apologized Monday to Hickman for his hastiness and will no doubt be more careful in the future. Hickman has never before had the shadow of suspicion cast on him and naturally felt very badly about it. But he soon found that the clean, -llQlTOra'ijic—tiL€~ vfHyv 'llw 'Heto ttrW ixyj ICU, enlisted the best people in his behalf. Hickman in turn feels grateful to these friends, and has a kind word for Ben McColly for the kindness shown him.

Col. Roosevelt paid high tribute to Mr. Hughes in his speech at the Union League Club. He said, in part: “If Mr. Hughes is made president, we can count with the greatest certainty that not the group of the greatest capitalists in the land, nor yet the group of the greatest labor leaders in the land will be able to get one thing at Washington by threats, by duress, by misstatement, or in any other way, save by showing before a competent tribunal the justice of their demands. And I was glad to hear Mr. Hughes emphatically point out that the question was not an eight-hour question at all. It had nothing to do with the eight-hour question; it was simply a question of an advance of wages and that was all 4t was. I believe emphatically in the eight-hour law as an ideal toward which we must work, but I believe you must take into account, the* type of work to be done.

RED SOX ROUT FLATBUSH CLAN

Crashing Dives Off Warclubs of Bostons Sends Marquard to Cooler— Leonard Checks Dodgers. Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 11, 2:55 P. M.—Slashing .drives off the war clubs of the Beaton-players routed Rube Marquard, Brooklyn hurler for the second time during the ftresent series between Boston and Brooklyn. The southpaw slants of the Reuben were hit viciously by the Hub sluggers, who were out to atone for Tuesday’s defeat. Marquard was no puzzle to the Boston sluggers and had to be removed from the peak by Robinson. Dutch Leonard, the Fresno southpaw was sent to the hill by Carrigan for the first time during the series and the lead given him' by his mates made the going easy for him. Leonard was never in danger. At the end of the eighth inning Boston led 6 to 2, and the Dodger fans were caht in gloom. A capacity crowd of Flatbush fans were again on hand to cheer for their ■pets, and help them to place them on even footing with Boston. Brooklyn fans filled the park long before game time, firmly believing that their favorites were about to tie up the series. 1 —The clubs-wiil leave for Boston; tohlght, where the fifth game of the series will be played’tomorrow. The score by innings at the end of the eighth was: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 B—R Boston 20110200—6 Brooklyn 01001000—2 Batteries—Leonard-Cady, for Boston; Marquard-Dell and and Miller for Brooklyn. .

Berlin May Be Warned to Shun U. S. Waters.

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 10. —President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing discussed in detail at Shadow Lawn tonight the German submarine attacks on merchantmen Sunday off the New England The conference lasted until late tonight and will be continued tomorrow morning. It was indicated by officials today that facts so far collected by government agencies have disclosed no grounds for drastic action by the U. S. government because of the attacks themselves. No evidence has been found that international law was violated by the German submarine or submarines. It was understood, however, that the president and secretary discussed the wisdom of pointing out to Germany the inadvisability of operatmg -liex 1 submarines~rrr elTTsb'"prgg-" imity to the territorial' waters of the United States. Administration officials took the position that the transferring of submarine warfare so close to America’s shores was fraught with grave danger because of the possibility of mistakes being made by submarine commander. Reports that strong sentiment exists in Germany for the resumption of submarine warfare on a broader scale caused some alarm among officials. In discussions of the submarine attacks on Sunday, officials here referred to diplomatic correspondence between the U. S. and Great Britain beginning in 1914, in which .the American government protested against the patrolling of' the American coast outside the three-mile limit by British warships. This was pointed to as providing a precedent for protesting against the proximity of German submarines to the American coast.

Co. M Flounders Through Mud On Hike; Run Short of Rations.

Llano Grande, Tex,, Oct. 10.—One thousand men and officers of the Third Indiana infantry, who left camp yesterday on a four days’ march along the border, lived on scant rations today because a torrential rain made the roads impassable to j the army motor trucks and stalled even the army mules which were to 1 carry supplies to the regiment each 1 day. The effort to reach the regiment will be renewed at daybreak tomorrow. Col. Kuhlman flashed an SOS message from the Donna punvpittg station on Lire Rio Grande and fourteen miles from camp, on the arrival of his regiment at that point late this afternoon. He urged the diapatch of reserve rations, but a renewed effort to reach the regiment with the supply wagons failed. Pack mules will be used if the roads still stall the wagons and trucks. The men are believed- to have enough food in their haversacks to prevent suffering, although it is certain that their ration was greatly reduced. The regiment reached the Donna pumping station after skidding through nine miles of mud and water, the men often sinking almost to their knees, on a march from Progresso, where they had spent an uncomfortable night in pup tents. The regiment had scarcely gone into camp for the night when the rain came down in torrents. Tha rain swept into many of the tiny tents, making sleep almost impossible. g Fires were started and breakfast prepared under difficulty, but the rain had not dampened the spirits of the men in the least. They were unwilling to turn back to camp, and soon were started on another nine-mile 1 plunge through mud and water, which covered the roads and trails. The marching, however, was so difficult that the men were relieved of their packs, which were loaded into the eseprt wagons. Their task was I and shouted as they plowed through and shoute das they plowed through the mud, without thought of complaint. Lieut. Lew Wallace, Jr., of Indianapolis, aide to Gen. Lewis, and Capt. Jackson, U. S. A., the camp adjutant, have returned to camp after a thralling experience with a gasoline launch in the gulf waters off from Point Isabel, where they visited the Indiana field artillery battalion. They, along -with a dozen other soldiers, were plunged into water tw'enty feet deep when their launch was capsized. Fortunately all'of the men could swim and they succeeded in reaching shore. The members of the rifle team representing the Indiana National Guard, departed yesterday afternoon for Jacksonville, Fla., where the national match is to be held.
