PUBLICITY BUREAU ADMITS PAT LYI1CH GIFTEDJJVE WIRE Republican Candidate's Press Agent Effuses Modest "Biographical Sketch of Our Next Congressman." "Biographical Sketch of Our Next Congressman," is the title of the latest effusion issued by the publicity fegent of P. J. Lynch, Republican nominee for congressman. In this the Xrank admissions made that Mr. Lynch Is a "recognized commercial leader," that he is a gifted orator and if elected Mil make congress sit up and take Jiotlce. The sketch follows: P. J. Lynch of New Castle, Republican nominee for Congress from the Sixth Indiana district, is a self made fcnan and according to his old friends and neighbors he has done a good job. Mr. Lynch is 41 years old, having been born in Chester county, Pennsylvania on April 19, 1874. He was the youngest of ten children five boys and five girls. His father died when he was a (ear and a half old, leaving little. The Stouthearted mother took up the hard Struggle and when young Lynch had reached the age of fifteen he had become the mother's strong prop in her Struggle with the world. Young X.ynch's first job paid him the munlfirient sum of $150 per year. At the end of his first year he turned over to his mother $147.50 of his earnings. Young Lynch early displayed the traits that had been his heritage from Ibis father and mother. With fine courage he began the battle of life, educating himself as he could create the opportunities. At an early age he eecured a place with the big floral house of Dingee & Conrad at West Grove, Pa., and it was but a few years lintil he had mastered the business find was one of the owners and mantigers of this mammoth business. He early manifested an interest in political affairs, identifying himself with the Republican party. In 1904 he was elected a delegate to the Republican national convention from Pennsylvania and it was due to the firm stand that he took in a meeting tf the Pennsylvania delegation on the fright before the Republican National convention assembled in 1904 that the Vote of Pennsylvania was cast solidly for Theodore Roosevelt for the presidential nomination. The Quay machine was against Roosevelt, and if the organization had peen able to muster a solid delegation from that state it is probable that some other man than Roosevelt would have been the Republican presidential Nominee that year. Lynch, in the face of personal dangers, declined to wear b Quay collar. Five years ago Mr. Lynch purchased a large floral business in '"The CUT of Roses," and since that time New Castle has been his home. He is married and has two sons. His wife formerly was Miss Caroline Forkner. In Mr. Lynch the Republicans of the Cixth district have an ideal candidate. He is young and vigorous and positive t all times. He is a loyal Republican but liberal enough to represent faithfully and well every voter in the Sixth district when he gets to congress. He possesses unusual accomplishments for a business man. In addition to being a recognized commercial leader he is one of the best orators in Indiana. He possesses a pleasing personality end has the faculty of making friends easily and holding them. When Lynch pets to congress that body will learn In jig time that the Sixth Indiana district is on the map.

MYRA JEFFERSON, MEMBER OF COMPANY.

TURNS DOWN WILSON'S PLAN TO END STRIKE John D. Rockefeller, jr., whose company, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, has demurred against accepting in its entirety President Wilson's plan for ending the long continued strike of the Colorado miners. There is little possibility of the strike being settled unless a compromise is effected on the points objected to by the Rockefeller interests. The chief portion of the plan rejected by the mine operators is that "contemplating a three-year truce, with reemployment of all striking miners who had not been found guilty of violations of the law and the creation of the grievance committees to settle points Congress Investigates High Prices The demand from wartorn Europe for food is boosting prices and cost of living increases.

GOVERNMENT'S CAR EXAMINES SCALES Inspection Outfit Tests Track Weighing: Equipment Used in Richmond.

Inspection of all railroad track scales In Richmond was begun today by government inspectors who are here with a special government test ing car, the first that has ever visited this city. This car was sent out by the bureau of standards of the depart ment of commerce at Washington, D. C. to learn the exact conditions of freight weighing by railroads and to see whether the 200 pounds' tolerance on every 100,000 pounds is sufficient for the lighter type of scales now being used widely. John T. Willett of South Bend, chief inspector of weights and measures in Indiana, is piloting the car in Indiana. One month will be spent in Indiana. Congress recently appropriated $45,000 to pay the expenses of the car. The work in Richmond will be completed this evening, and the inspectors will continue their trip over Indiana. George McKinley, inspector of weights and measures in Richmond, worked with the government employes while in the city. An entire equipment of standards is carried in order to re-standardize the whole equipment should it from any reason become defective. H. E.

KAISER'S SUBJECTS PRAY FOR VICTORY ON BENDED KNEES Letter From Germany to Christian Schwenke Tells of War Spirit and Corrects Newspapers. Christian Schwenke, 231 South Sixth street, is in receipt of a letter from his brother. Fred Schwenke, Vohwinkle, Germany, in which he strives to correct what he believes to be erroneous news dispatches sent out from London and Paris regarding the progress of the war. The letter, translater, in part says: "Dear Ones Your letter arrived last night. I read it in the postoffice, and everybody was agreed as to the lies printed in the newspapers. Up to date, August 28, the following is known: Russia, France, England, Servia, Montenegro, Japan, Belgium and Morocco are against Germany, Austria and our Heavenly King. The first mobilization date was August 2, and on the sixth our west army had taken Liege, and on the twenty-fourth Namur was stormed and 30,000 prisoners taken. Brussels has been taken and our troops ore now before Antwerp. The other part of the west army has defeated the French near Lagrade and also won three other great victories. The armies are still pursuing the French, so that 320,000 Frenchmen have been decisively defeated. We took 500 cannon. Sees Prisoners.

have checked the Russians, and taken 8,000 prisoners. Because of strategic reasons our troops have been ordered to fall back, and the Russians have invaded AuBtria-Hungary. Tbe inhabitants fled before the Russians, who committed many depredations. Tbe Good Lord knows that even this is a blessing for us, for the Lord wants our hearts. Even Germany must do penance in order that Bismarck's Btatement may come true, 'We Germans fear nobody but God.' Sentiment here has been changed by the war. Daily we fall on our knees in prayer and ask God for victory. Wanted United States Papers. "Our losses have been heavy, but the French also have suffered. The casualty lists have not yet been published. The emperor and his family, at a service in the open in Berlin, fell on their knees in prayer. I can not write everything I know, as this letter must remain open. But when we win or lose, we tell the truth. When the truth is known our enemies will be ashamed of themselves." The letter then goes on to review the military actions that have been chronicled by the press in the last weeks. K)n a post card, Mr. Schwenke says Belgium is in the hands of the Germans. He claims that Belgian civilians cut off the ears of wounded Germans and punched out their eyes. He asks for Richmond newspapers, as the general staff wants them.

FACING A RECALL, RUSTEM BEY QUITS A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish ambassador to the United States, who, following the bitter criticism of an interview on the European situation, given out two weeks ago, has announced to the president that he will relinquish his post here in about a fortnight. It is stated that Rustem Bey has not been recalled, but it is known that the "vacation" he is taking was suggested by the Turkish foreign office because of his recent offense.
