ing. Twelv hours of Investigation
by the police hav done llttl towarda
snlvtng tha myatery of the woman's

Physicians and detectives who have
been investigating the caae doubt parta
of the atory. but believe that Mra

ranged br threats.
The police are seeking the two on
terloua stranger who called at the

dar. On of the men entered the
houee and talked to Mra, Strelff for

Or, last October. Sft told the police
that her masked assailant yeaterday

divorce decree.
According: to Mra. Strelff atory to
the police, a masked man called at her
horn about o'clock 'Wednesday night.
The man demanded that ah glv to
htm her dlvorc decree from Herman
Ptrelff. Mrs. Strelff aaya sh flrat re
fused to ret the document, but com
piled when th man drew a revolver
and threatened to kill her. Mra. Strelff
succeeded In concealing; the decree
when th man waa not looking;.
.Wmus Crearked la Car.
Still at th point of a revolver. Mr.
Strelff aaya. she accompanied the man
to an automobile and cltmbeH to the
aeat. The machine sped silently away
In the (Catherine; gloom. For miles and
miles the ride continued at a mad par.
Mrs. Strelff aaya Th man aat grim
and silent at the ateering wheel. Mrs.
hlrelff. paralysed with terror, crouched
at the opposite aide of the car. -
From a description of th route
taken, th police believe that the man
drove up the White House road. Mrs.
Strelff did not know In what direction
they were going, ah aays.
At last, according to Mra. Strelff
story, the car stopped by th rtvr
bank. Tha driver forced her to descend,

The couple struggled and fell. Tbey

from Falrdale. called at the hospital
to see her last nlaht.

REGULARITY IS SOUGHT
BICYCLES A.q MOTORCYCLES FOR
BIDDEN RURAL CARRIERS.
Ma
ll Department Saya The
chlaea Are laadeejeat fee
Proper Service.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1 An order
Just Issued by Postmaster-General Bur
leson prohibits the use of bicycles and
motorcycles In th rural delivery serv
ice after January 1. 191. The order
amends aectlon tit paragraph 3. of the
postal laws and regulations.
Th new regulation authorise car
riers to ua automobiles upon routes In
addition to those specifically designated
for auto servlc when permlsaion ia
obtained and a regular schedule ap
proved by the department, and where
road conditions will allow uninterrupt
ed service during a large part of the
year.
The department waa Influenced by
several factors. It Is estimated that
at times during the year bicyclea and
motorcycle are used upon about SvOO
routes. It is held that this type Of
vehicle does not have the carrying ca
pacity needed for the parcel post serv
ice. Th elimination of bicycles and
motorcycles also will tend to equalize
the working conditions of the carrier
force and carriers using motorcycles
are especially liable to Injury, a fact
of Importance In view of the provisions
of the act of March . 11X4. under which
payments are authorised In cases of
carriers Injured or killed while on duty.
In bad weather It Is Impossible to
protect the mall carried1 ia motorcycles.
The carrier ualng a motorcycle Is
tempted to discourage parcel shtpmenta
Inadequate and effective equipment la
the cause of many complaints alleging
that the rural carriers are "overbur
dened." In rainy weather, too. It is is almost
impossible to use motorcycles, and the
consequence Is frequent disarrangement
of schedules, which causes serious in
convenience to patrons. It is desired
by the department that the rural routes
be so served that patrons may depend
upon the carrlera reaching their boxes
at regular tira stated times.

BREACH UNHEALED
Nebraska Senator to Oppose
Confirmation of Wilson's
Recent Appointments.
HOSTILITY IS. OUTSPOKEN
President's Effort to Bring; About
Compromise , Kails Figfet on
Parallel With Missouri, New
Jersey and New York.
OREOO.VIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Aug. 1. President- Wilson's
patronage row with the United States
Senate ja by no means at an end. That
the fight will be resumed with th re
assembling of Congress wa assured
recently when four Important offices
In Nebraska were filled by the Presi
dent. Two of the appointees were rec
ommended by Senstor Hitchcock: the
other two wer by William J. Bryan.
All four offices hav been filled by
Republican hold-overs since the begin
ning of the present Administration, be
cause of the fight between Senator
Hitchcock and Mr. Bryan over who
should control Federal patronage In
their state. Secretary Bryan, from the
beginning of his term, dabbled much In
patronage, and sought th right to die
tat In Nebraska. Senator Hitchcock
contended that Mr. Bryan, being In the
caomet. waa m no position to Interfere
with patronage other than that of tha
Stat Departments and Insisted that he.
as the only Democratic senator, should
b recognised by the President
Deep Hostility Exists.
Senstor Hitchcock Is an anti-Admin
istration Senator, or has been so listed
ever since th Senate Democracy di
vided Into factions. Between Hitch
cock and Bryan Is a deep hostility dat
ing back many yeara When Senator
Hitchcock submitted his pstronage rso
ommendatlona to th President. Secre
tary Bryan Interposed objection snd
recommended Brysn Democrats for the
positions Senator Hitchcock sought to
fllL For a time the President 'hoped
these Nebraskans might reconcile their
differences, but he hoped In vain.
Not until Mr. Bryan left the cabinet
did th President take hold of the Ne
braska situation, and then he sought
to compromise by recognising both
Hitchcock snd Bryan. Word comes
from Nebraska that the Prealdent haa
not cleared the atmosphere, but has
only roused Senator Hltcheock the
more, and that when the recess ap
pointments are sent to the Senate next
December, Senator Hitchcock .will ask
that th Bryan appointments be re
jected.
Precedents Set By Senate.
Th Nebraska patronage fight is on
a parallel with th New Jersey., New
York ana Missouri cases, wherein sen
ators Martina, O'Gorman and Reed
were able to persuade the Senate to re
ject presidential appointments In their
respective statea In cases where the
appointees' were personally objection
able. In those cases the Senate voted
unanimously to reject the appointees
who were thus objectionable.
It so happens that the two Bryan
men recently appointed in Nebraska
are bitter enemies of Senator Hitch
cock and have fought him for years.
So hostile are they that Mr. Bryan is
charged with having swept the state
to find the men most ODjectionaoie to
the Senator. Senator Hitchcock can
consistent! ask the Senate to reject
these Bryanites on the same ground on
which It heretofore rejected antl-Mar-tlne,
antl-O'Oorman and anti-Reed men
in the other States named.
The strsnge thing about the attempt
ed settlement of the Nebraska patron
age row Is that the President gave
e-reeter weight to Mr. Bryan's recom
mendations after Mr. Bryan left th
cabinet than he did when Mr. Bryln
waa Secretary of State.

"There are many, many firms that

no better characteristic case than hat
of the American Steel Company. Last
week they declared that the earnings
of the 31 days of July were JgS.OOO.OOO
above the regular dividends declared by
the company."
Mr. Gray also said that, owing to the
demand for wool in the war sone, the
surplus supply of wool was about ex
hausted, and the material for manufac
turing blue serge was almost Impossible
to obtain. "There has been an increase
in the price of blue serge material of TO

Gray declared that the styles of the

conservative styles of flv years ago, a

This Is worth about 4 cents on the

th franchise the street railway com
pany must take this money from its
passengers In Mexico.
As a result a ride can be obtained for
about four-tenths of a cent. The street
car company collects tickets and thla
Mexican money by means of Teglsters.
while a cash fare box handles the real
money. The Villa shinplasters have
plenty of color and are well engraved,

BOMB HURTS MOVIE MISS
Premature Explosion In Studio
Stakes Realism Painful.
NEW TORK, Aug. 1. The prema
ture explosion of a bomb In the yard of
the Vltagrsph Company's motion-picture
studios in Brooklyn shortly after
noon the other day painfully injured
Miss May Kearney, one of the leading
actresses of the company, and burned
others.
One of the scenes from Hudson Max
im's new war drama, "Defenseless
America," was being filiaed. It was
a street set in the company's yard, and
the bomb was supposed to be dropped
from a hostile flying machine. Wires
were laid on the ground which were
to explode a real bomb when the
dummy one landed. Mlas Kearney was
leaving the stage, when a wagon
crossed the scene and caused a short
circuit with Its iron tires on the wires.
Miss Kearney was seriosly burned
about the head, hands and arms and
was taken to the Coney Island Hospital.

THE BATTLE FRONT
Petrograd, via London, Aug. 6. The
number of head and arm wounds of
the men at the front Is enormous, for
men In trenches expose only their
heads and arms. Many hundreds are
hit In the head and death does not
result- from the wound. Occasionally
one may see the slightly wounded walk
back with heads bound up or arms in
slings. Motor trucks loaded with
wounded tear along the roads leading
back from the extreme front. Perhaps
40 per cent of the wounded are back
on the firing line after three months'
care and rest In a hospital. It all de
pends on a man's health and blood. If
ihe blood is pure and good, the sol

man. It means fresh, strong nerves,
good digestion, good circulation. Those
