ASK BRIDGE AT. FALL CREEK IN DELAWARE ST. North Siders Wish Traffic Relieved on Meridian Street. Influential business men and residents of North Meridian street appeared before the Marlon County commissioners today to ask that a bridge be constructed in North Delaware street over Fall Creek to relieve congested traffic conditions on Meridian street. Richard Lieber, Henry Eitel of the Indiana National Bank, E. W. Warner, G. A. Schnnll, wholesale grocer, and V. il liam Schnmaker were among the dele gation. It was decided by the committee to appear before the County Council next Tuesday and ask that body to authorize a bond Issue of approximately $200,001 for the bridge. County Auditor Leo K. Fealer suggested that the council seems to be opposed to issuing bonds at this time. The county commissioners indi eated they favored the building of the bridge. Mr. Fooler Informed the committee that a $200,000 bond issue at this time would Increase the tax rate a half cent. The commissioners said steps are being taken to gravel tbe approaches to jthe new Boulevard Place 'bridge, which akas been useless since completion nearly ‘a year ago because of neglect In making (approaches to the bridge. Commissioner pcirlln Shank promised the committee the Approaches will be placed In. condition feoon. j Mr. Lleber pointed out it is impossible to cross Meridian street at the rush Mieriod, and called the attention of the ■fcommissioners to the danger to children, j Auditor Fesler admitted the need of the North Meridian street eonKUtlon, but questioned the wisdom of Balling the tax rate a half cent and rnonding the county for an additional Indebtedness of $200,000. (grape men unite FOR PROTECTION (California Growers Seek to Prevent Speculation. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1— Expedl,tlon of the distribution and sale of Ca’.lfornia's 1921 crop of table and wine grape* and to avoid the chaos, with re- | auitant losses that characterised the j movement last year, is the aim of several representative concerns of San Fran- ; Cisco, which have formed the California Grape Buyers Association. The primary object Is to eliminate the speculative element and to establish a more substantial financial basis. During the movement last year nianv of the eastern buyers ordered their clients to forward grapes on the speculative assumption that prices would advance above the stipulated price by the time this consignment reached Its de? tlnatlon. This order was backed by a Bight draft, which. In manr Instances, was refused recognition, particularly if the current market price at that time had fallen below the contrae tpriee. To eliminate this condition the GrnpBuyers Association intends to establish buying localities and to begin an educa tional campaign to reorganize the present system of crop movement financing. The association intends to induce buyers to buy on Irrevocable bank letter* of credit as against the previous method of buying on bank guarantees or sight drafts against bills of lading. The formation of this association was necessitated by the increased deman 1 for grapes In the East, and as a means of protecting the grower, as It is reported that there is a strong “short selling'' movement in the Enst. The total movement of grapes from California to eastern markets last year was 25.000 cars. Officer* of the Grape Growers Association follow: President. S. B. Staltl; first vice president. Joseph Maffel; second rice president, Joseph Brocla; treasurer, N. Gallucci; financial secretary, S. Arena: corresponding secretary. G. Slmonell.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. MEXICO RESUMES MINING OF SILVER Duty Removal, Price Increase Factors. MONTEREY. Mexico. Sept. 1.-Silver mining In Mexico is looking up. Two favorable factors are aaid to be causing a considerable revival of operations of tbis class of mining properties. One is the removal of export duty on silver by the Mexican government, and the other is the improvement In the price of the metal. If the situation continues to improve there will be a general resumption of ore production and reduction mills. Labor conditions In the different mining districts are said to be better than for some time past. The Compania Negoclacion Miners, Jesus Maria of Saltillo plans extensive development in Coahuila. New machinery and equipment will be installed, it is stated. Albert Genty has Just finished the construction of an eight-mile spur track railroad to give his mines at Sierra llamirea a transportation outlet. An American company is reported as being organised to take over the Salida mines In the Velardena district, which war* forfeited for non-payment of taxes. Juan A. Gallarod of Durango has ob, tained title to a group of gold and silver claims In the Hulzar Mountains. At the present rate at which mines that had been forfeited by the government for non-payment of taxes and other cause* are being filed upon and relocated it wIU not be long until all of them have been taken lip, according to Information from tax offices —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

LET CONTRACTS FORJ3 BRIDGES Several Not Awarded by State Highway Commission Because Too High. Several bids for bridge construction In Indiana were rejected by the State highway commission today because they were too high, but the majority of them were awarded to contractors whose bid* were below the estimated cost of construction. Bids to bore under White River to ascertain the depth that that must be reached on which to set a foundation for the new bridge at Hazelton were too high and the contract was not let. The borings will be made by employees of the commission, W. J. Titus, chief bridge engineer, said. Action on other bridges was as follow*. Putnam County—B. C.

I.—Many silk mills In the Philadelphia district are operating on ntirly full time In anticipation of good fall business. On the other hand, Jobbers and mill agents say the trade is experiencing the usual midsummer lull, and do not expect substantial trading until the middle of September. Prices in almost all lines are softening owing to the lack of orders. The mills are producing charmeuse, satin crepe, crepe de chine and wash satins, which are expected to be leaders for the fall and winter selling season. Dress and underwear makers are busy. One mill agent recently received an order for 19,000 yards, including radiums, charmeuse and crßee de chine for this trade. A demand for white taffeta for sports wear Is expected. Bilk mill men believe the demand will be influenced by Suzanne Lenglen, the European tennis champion. They say she set anew pace for tennis costumeg and smashed all traditions in that respect by eliminating sports clothes and appearing in a white taffeta f-ock on the courts here. The regulation costume consists of light wool sweater and white skirt. Approaching school days were given as the reason for demand this week for wide silk ribbons. These are being taken from tbe mills in fairly large quantities. Black, red and navy In plain taffeta are the favorites. Production has not Leen up to normal, and buyers are forced to take what they can get.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. WILL ENTERTAIN BALL PLAYERS.

CALIFORNIA TRADE OUTLOOK IS IMPROVED | Retail Trade Survey Shows Decline of 35.5 Per Cent in Prices. ! SAN FRANCISCO, Sept I.—The log ! that has obscured the business outlook lin Northern California is lifting ap- ! preciably. While it is too soon to dis i corn definite general Improvement, a i markedly better situation exists in many [ industries. ' The California Packing Corporation is one of the strongest at the present ttipq, Its ready acceptance of inventory losses and its prompt efforts to dispose of the carry-over of last year placed it in good position to deal with the present season's crops. It has taken its losses and is now in a position to make a reasonably good profit on the current year's business. Grain-milling companies were hard hit. The Globe Grain and Milling Company was obliged to refinance. The Albers Mill Ing Company faced a receivership. Sperry Flonr was in fairly good shape, but suffered as r. result of the troubles of other milling companies. Sugar companies are beginning to emerge from their troubles. Most of the Inventory losses have been taken. The pew crop Is coming In and expenses have been cut to the bone. The shipyards bare practically completed {heir building programs. Repair work is offering, however, and some of the yards will be able to hold at least a skelton organization and continue to live with repair work. Notwithstanding price reductions, most of the large oil companies are prospering The principal exception is tbe General Petroleum Corporation. The power companies all appear to be satisfied with themselves. Pacific Gas and Electric Is probably the most prog perous. Practically all are earnlug their dividends comfortably. The financing of the Great Western Power Company leaves this concern more open to criticism than some of Its competitors. The corporate security depends upon one large dam. Engineers have differed in their opinion as to the stability of this dam. Retail business is fair. The Retail Merchants' Association of San Francisco conducted a survey of the city to determine actual price reductions. The re suit shows an average decrease of 33.5 per cent in the retail price of collars, ties, shirts, sweaters, socks and similar articles with the year. Tbe average wholesale price decline Is given at 33.3 per cent Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. ENTIRE FORCE IS WIPED OUT OR CAPTURED (Continued From I’age One.) temporarily put those who breathe it j hors de combat, but is said not to cause j permanent Injury. Overhead a number of airplanes swoop like great eagles, or soar, as do tho : hawks over the mountains. Cavalry and foot scouts arc on reconnotsance parlies day and night while field telephones connect general headquarters with the front. (in the miners' side, in Boone County, field hospitals have been established. The i picture is Boone is one of unrest. All j train service has been suspended and many of the natives have fled thetr homos. There automobiles are shooting everywhere, gathering reinforcements, while coonmandeered trains carry the miners toward the front. REINFORCEMENTS REACH DEFENDERS MADISON, W. Va.. Sept. I—Reinforcements were arriving at Logan early today to assist Sheriff Don Chafin'* army of defenders to keep out the forces of striking miners. Detachments from Bluefield, Welch, Charleston and other points were on their way to Logan. Most of them were American Legion members, who had organised themselves in the semb'iiice of military unnS. They will be equipped by the sheriff with rifle* and ammunition. Fighting which raged during the early part of Wednesday night had died down in the early hours this morning, but there was every indication that It would be resumed toilay. 12.000 MEN ARE ENGAGED. Approximately twelve thousand men were engaged In the battle last night. The striking miners had about six thousand men, and Sheriff Chafln's forces were estimated to be about as strong. Fighting was iu evidence at four points on the line at Crooked Creek. Mill Creek, Beach Creek and Biair. There wa* more or less rifle fire along the whole mountainside from both tho miners and Chafln's men. There were several casualties, but the exact number is yet undetermined. The worst fighting appeared to have been in tbe Crooked Creek sector. Armed men are still passing through Madison on their way to Jeffery, the miners’ concentration camp. Trucks bearing ammunition and food supplies also are moving toward Jeffery. Paper Suspension Arouses_ Bavaria MUNICH, Sept. I.—President Ebert'* proclamation suspending Bavarian news papers as a result of the political furore which followed the assassination of Mathias Erzberger is adding fuel to the fires of hatred between soutli Germany and Prussia. The Bavarian cabinet, at a special meeting today, expressed strong disapproval of the proclamation, and it is doubtful if It will be enforced. The separatist movement has become much stronger In the last few days Adherents of the movement to place Crown Prince Rupprecht upon the Ba varian throne are openly defying the Democrats. BLOOD POISON CAUSES DEATH. Robert Carlyle, 47, 347 Kentucky avenue, died at the Methodist hospital last night as a result of a heavy piece of Iron falling on his foot, causing blood poisoning. Dr. Paul F. Robinson, coroner, announced today. According to an official of the Rockwood Manufacturing Company, JBOI I.n glisb avenue, where Carlyle had been employed for thirty five years, he was head millwright of the company until Aug. 22 when the accident occurred.

Chicago Judge Uses Welcome ‘Justice’ on Seven Vagrants CHICAGO, Sept. 1. “Justice’’ threw away her blindfold here today. Seven penniless "vagrants,’’ found sleeping in a park, were taken before Judge Charles McKinley, expecting fines and workhouse sentences. The court instead gave each man anew one dollar bill and a letter assuring him of a Job in a South Cuicug rolling mill. "Courts were created not merely to dispense punishment, but to lend a helping hand to those temporarily in dire circumstances,” said the Judge. Police fear a “run” on the park. \

This |k alinoKt too mi.eh: Ring Lardner and Irwin Cohb each have written a hook, and the principal character In each volume I* the author thereof; Lardner's only excuse la the fact that be has reached the senile age of 33 years and Cobb’s Is that ha has lost a few score pounds to the extent of one third of his total weight. Gardner calls hta hook, which 1s xery brief and to the point, ‘'Symptoms of Being 03." As * foreword he declares that "On reaching! the cottage I ain't making no complaints to the management and I’m willing to accomodate with a few rules which has enabled me to reach the age of 33 annum* and which I stuck to faithful will bring the same results." It Is apparent throughout the book that tho author' feels the burden of many years keenly The book is illustrated wtth charmlnc silhouette* by Helen E. Jacoby. It Is published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company Indianapolis. Irwin Cob brails his outburst "One Third Off" and Insists he is nearing the , one hundred and eighty live pound mark. I "The way I look at It," he says. "Is this j way: If something happens to you and by writing about it you can make a bit , of money and at the saute time be a benefactor to the race, then why not?" i With this brief question he proceeds to ‘ tell other "addicts” how he did it. He I once admitted he was the ugliest man In America. If he keeps on he la going to lose that distinction. This latest book on how to grow thin more or less gracefully Is published by George H. Doran Company, New York. I.eroy Scott has written another novel dealing with New York life from its worst to its best. The book is "Children ! of the Whirlwind" and has all the ele- j ments of both a crook story of the slums and a society novel. It has to do primarily with the reformation of a girl, who, living In the moat unfortunate of environments, naturally turns early In life to the profession of those surround lng her; namely, that of relieving un- | suspecting persons of their money ' through the employment of confidence methods. The reformation Is brought about by a . oung man who has Just done a stretch la Sing Sing, but who has decided to "go straight.” lie accomplishes big purposes with the able assistance of an artist of the better sort who has taken re.’uge on au out-of theway part of the city in order to be able to do what he bel eves to be real painting instead of the painting of merely “pretty” pictures Cat his public demands. Tie plot of the story is a little involved *nd there is a large amount of detailed incident giving the impression at times of a heroic struggle to create situations which will force the story to a conclusion. It is not at all bad reading, however. The publishers ate Houghton, Mifflin Company, Boston. Indianapolis persons who have become acquainted with or Interested in Samuel Merwln through his connection, as an author, with the Stuart Walker Company, should be interested in a little volume being distributed by the BobbsMerrill Company. The book is "A Chat With Samuel Merwln,” by Robert Cortes Holliday, one of Indiana's authors who big succeeded In a field a little different from most of the regt, that of the essay. Indiana, it seems, is not alone distinguished for Its writers and its politicians. The Century Company is bringing out what it describes a complete history of "Art and Artists of Indiana,” in whicn Mary Q. Burnet, trace* the history of Indiana art from the itinerant portraitmakers of pioneer days down to the latest of Hoosier artists to gain fume. The book is described as richly illustrated with photographic reproductions. j General Dawes, who so suddenly came into prominence through his picturesque language In testifying before a oongrosI sional investigation committee, and who |is now Federal director of the budget, ; has succumbed to the same influence, j whatever it is, that has affected so many veterans of the world war, and has wrltj ten a memoir of his service, which he ! calls his "Journal of the Great War." | It is published by Houghton Mifflin Comi pany. ! The publication of this latest war book ; leads one to wonder win n war books i will lease to flood the market. During j the latter pert of the war, when war 1 books had been published by the hundreds. the reading public suddenly rebelled and demanded something that had nothing to do with the war. There are only a few wry books which survived this period. Then came the epidemic of

detailed histories of war experiences, most of them from inexperienced writers and most of them bad. They have had their readers, but probably in few cases as many as publisher and author had anticipated. The Journal of General Dawes probably will sell well because of hi* sudden leap Into prominence, hut it is doubtful if any war book will have a very heavy sale. There seems to be no abatement of the golf craze and literature is full of It. Few are the fiction storie* nowadays in which the hero and heroine do not play a frequent eighteen boles. Now E. I*. Dutton & Cos. has published a book by Andra Klrkaldy containing hi* memories of “Fifty Years of Golf.'’ The author is a professional of the Royal and Ancient Club. St. Andrews. Scotland, and is said to have played with many famous parsonages. GIRL WIFE , WITH ‘OTHER MANJ HELD Deserts Hubby and Starts Long Trip. A cross country trip that was to have ended at Los Angeles, Cal, came to an end in the detention home and the city prison today. Stella Morow, 15. and Corbet Click. 16. both of Winchester, had planned the trip, hut they overlooked one point: Miss Morow was not big enough for the clothes she wore. Motorpoltcemen Finney and Ainsden were sent to Prospect avenue and State street on a report that a girl was wearing mens elothes. They found the couple, the Morow girl wearing a suit of overalls, a pair of men’s extra heavy shoes, a cap, and carrying a coat over her arm. Capt. Clara Burnsides learned the pair had run away from their homes In Winchester yesterday and arrived here on a freight train. When they were found by the police they were eu route to railroad yards to hoard another freight train and “bum their wav’’ to Oklahoma City. There they were to meet Ernest Green, who they say left Winchester In an automobile. After Joining Green, they said, they were going to ride in :the machine to Los Angeles. Miss Burnsides said tbe Morow girl tcid her she was running away from her husband, who she said was Chester Kelly, who is living at Hamilton, Ohio. She said she left her husband some time ago and went to her father's home in Winchester, where she met (he two boys, who, she says, planned tbe trip.

FOUND GUSHER IN LAST TRIAL I Prospectors Strike Pay Gas After Losing Hope. INDIANA, Pa.. Sept. 1. —Sagamore men ■who had the money and were willing to take a chanoe In the McKeesport gas ! field bought a drilling rig at the time the gas excitement there was at its height and after spending considerable ] money in that district without success shipped their rig to their home town • in Indiana County. They could not find a purchaser for the equipment, so it was stored away. About two months ago one of the owners of the rig suggested that the members reorganize tlm company and engage In a little “wildcntting" in the vicinity of Sagnmore. The money was raised and the A. P. Ratrlgh farm was leased. The first well sunk was a duster, but on Tuesday when the drill penefrnted the sand in a second well at 2,925 fpet a rush of gas followed, nnd is now flowing at the rate of 2,000,000 cubic feet a day. Among the men interested in the new well are General Manager Kessler, of the P*. nnd S. Coal Company: A. It. McHenry. manager of the company store: \V. I. Hay, formerly proprietor of a hotel at Sagamore, and Lynn Brothers, of Indiana. The well is said to be one of the largest ever struck in this section of the State.

Plans for consolidation of three local textile mills in which A. G. Thatcher, of Philadelphia, is controlling factor, are now being worked out. ami are expected to be brought before the stockholders within a few weeks. The present combined capital is $2,500,000. and it is expected that the capital for the consolidated concern will be slightly higher. The three companies affected are Coosa Manufacturing Company, with plants at Piedmont. Ala.; Thatcher Spin#ing Compand and Standard Processing Company, Chattanooga. The processing company mercerizes the product of the other two. The executive heads of these plants are (hree sons of the Philadelphia textile magnate, R. G. Thatcher, at Piedmont: Herbert Thatcher, secretary-treasurer of the local spinning company, and Alfred Thatcher in the same capacity with the mercerizing plant. The motive of the proposed consolidation is centralization of authority, increased efficiency of management, and reduction of overhead. General plans hnve been presented to the boards of directors, both in Philadelphia and in Chattanooga, and approval by. them with orders to work them out in detail, so that the completed plan ran be presented stockholders of the three eonerns for ratification. All three plants are now operating, with good prospects for fall business. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos.
