City of Topeka Clears Cargo

TUG WORKERS WALK OUT
Proclamation for Saturday Holiday
I Expected to lie Generally

Dispatch of the Admiral line steamer
City of Topeka vn not hindered by the
programmed strike in behalf of Thomas
J. Mooney, since her cargo waa handled
esterday by union longshoremen, and
.he left late last night for San Fran-
ci.co by way of Marshfield and Eureka.
Of course, handling; freight yester
day meant that the owners were called
on to pay the usual holiday premium
and the same will be true of any work
performed today, since the holiday
proclamation of Governor Olcott is be
In generally recognized. For that rea
son It is not expected steamers load
ing Hour on government account will
ne woraea loaay. so it matters not
whether the longshoremen conclude t
lay off In sympathy with the Mooney
movement.
The strlka of grain handlers, which
elves promise of an early aettlemen
precludes any of the wheat steamers
being loaded, but as longshoremen do
the trucking on the docks for flou
hips, they present a different aspect.
One angle of the longshore situation is
that the entire union may not recognize
the Mooney demonstration Monday and
Tuesday, though Individuals may de
nine to work aa a means of voicing
meir sentiments.
Another development yesterday was
mat sailors aboard the Port of Port
land tug Wallula. In service at the
entrance to the Columbia river, went on
Tike in sympathy with the Mooney
matter. A' telegram from the master

At that it was expected one of the
outside vessels there might be secured
to take care of the pilot, or else he

RED FLAG OVER COWARDS
General Wood Tells Graduates "o
Room for Anarchists in V. S.
SCHENECTADY, N. T. "Put down
the red flag. It only floats where
cowards are in power." Such was the
warning of Major-General Leonard
Wood in his address as honorary chan
cellor at the 123d commencement of
Union college. He received the hono
rary degree of doctor of laws from the
college.
General Wood advocted preparedness
for war as the best means for an endur-
ng peace. Other outstanding points of
his address were:
'Give the soldier coming back his
old job or one for which he is fitted.
"Turn your face against the red flag,
ruthlessly, resolutely, relentlessly.
Guard against dangers of shallow
thinking, loose writing and hot speech.
Ht yourself physically for duty that
may have to be done by war.
Impress upon labor and business
their interlocking dependency. Pay
teachers a wage in keeping with their
service.
"Watch and ' guard woman's new
found economic position."
"There was a man who recently
died," declared General Wood, "who
said there Is room in this country for
only one flag. That man was Colonel
Roosevelt. It is our flag."
"Applause frequently interrupted the
honorary chancellor.
"In times like these," he said, "the
Red flag seek s to gain foothold in
every land. It has brought chaos to
other lands. We want stability here.
We must turn our faces against the
red flag! It is the flag of evil, against
the home, against the institutions it
has taken us a century to build up:
against our flag.
We do not want autocracy of either
capital or labor in this country. We
win not nave mem.
"We want to build un a spirit of co
operation and helpfulness which will
make it impossible for the forces of
disorder to show themselves here, and
if they do, will enable us to put them
down promptly with a strong hand
for we must impress upon our people
that true liberty is found within the
law and not outside of it.
"There is room in this country for but
one flag, and that is the American
flag.
"Ther-i are times of dangerous
world psychology. The barriers be
tween ordered' government and chaos
are down in some nations and trembl
ing in others. We must stand squarely
on our feet here. Avoid the dangerous
doctrines of the hour that are mas
querading under the banner of liberal
ideas and progress."
that, was the spectacle that caught the
eye of Patrolman Jameson of the Nut
ley, N. J., police force as he tramped
along the hot and dusty road on his
way to police headquarters. The brook
was between Hillside and Franklin
avenues. Nutley. near the Fortnightly
club, and had about a foot and a half
of water in it, hardly enough to cover
the nothing the lady had on, let along
the lady.
The lady was standing up when Pa
trolman Jameson first saw her, but as
soon as she saw him she sat down hur
riedly and tried to hid behind a bid of
weed. meanwhile unostentatiously
splashing the water over her toes.
"What are you doing these?" asked
the policeman.
"Bathing," replied the lady.
"You come out of that and put your
clothes on!" ordered atProlman Jame
son sternly. "You're disgracing your
self." The lady said she wouldn't do it, and
the policeman didn't know how to
make her. So he telephoned for a pa
trol wagon, and it came presently with
Reserve Patrolman Brown. But still
the lady refused to put her clothes on.
tnd the task appeared too much entire
ly for a couple of policemen. So they
summoned various of the feminine pop
ulace of Nutley and these ladies formed
a screen and helped the bathing lady
on with her clothes, while the police
men studied astronomy.
Before Recorder Post the dary of the
brook said she was Miss Marion Grey-
son, 23 years old, of Rose street, New
ark, although the residents of that
street say they know her not. The
recorder sent her to jail for 10 days.

Dr. Duncan declared that his dis
covery was based upon his observation
of a dog licking a sore paw. He said
the dog, by increasing germs or resist
ance at the place of infection, brought
about a natural healing, and the
method he employed was similar in
that it increased the leucocytes or
white corpuscles of the blood, and
thes- in turn carried the poisons out
of the human system.
The doctor said he had been using
the method, which he calls "Auto-
theraphy," for about ten years, and
that it now was widely accepted by
allopaths, homeopaths and eclectic
physicians, although it had not been
indorsed by the American Medical as
sociation.
Dr. Duncan said that by taking the
poison from a boil and subjecting it
to nis process ana injecting' the steril
ized product into a patient's body he
not only cured him of the boll, but
rendered him Immune against a repetl
tion ot such afflictions. Similar re
sults, he said, had been attained in
cases of mastoiditis, eczema and certain
types of local venereal diseases.

prisoner at the Ohio state penitentiary,
was crossing the prison yard when the
automobile of the chaplain. Rev. T. O.
Reed, standing in the yard, intrigued
his attention.
He paused and looked it over. The
prison, yard waa practically deserted.
'I'm only a poor, humble burglar,"
he mused, "but I believe I could run
that thing."
So he wound it up, climbed In and
began to work all the levers and push
butttons within reach.
The machine purred, sputtered and
started. The car swung once around
the prison yard, smashed into a post,
shivered and then collapsed a wreck.
Marshall is back in his cell awaiting
hearing on a technical charge of
stealing an automobile.
How can one steal an antomobile

WAR PRODUCES EPIDEMICS
Famine and Fatlsue Common in
jEastern Russia.
LONDON. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) "In the condition
of chaos in which eastern Europe is at
present, famine and fatigue have pro
duced' a condition of lowered resistance
to infection which favors the reproduc
tion of the epidemics of the middle
ages." says a writer in the Lausanne
(Switzerland) Gazette.
'Prisoners are wandering In eastern
Europe on their way to their homes,
innumerable Russians on their way to
the east from Germany, Germans, Aus-
trians and Hungarians passing from
Russia to the west. Serbs and Croats
striking south, Poles going to the
north, crossing one another in inde
scribable confusion in Poland, the
Ukraine and Hungary. . The absence of
linen and clothing forced these prison
ers ' to clothe themselves in rags of
skins in the same way as the civilian
population.
"The fight against typhus consists
mainly in bathing the men and steriliz
ing their clothing. The Hungarians
possess ovens, but no coal; the CzechO'
Slovaks have coal but no ovens. Soap
and body linen are absent everywhere
Linen when put into the o ven is so
wretched as to be unwearable after
wards and the owner has to be sent
away clad in his sheepskin. Prisoners
and wandering1 civilians know this so
well that they take every means to
avbld disinfection more than anything
else; to avoid being stoved at a station
they get out of the trains when they
stop at the smaller stations and enter
the town in small scattered groups
which attract less attention.
"The ordinary mortality of exanthe
matcus typhus in endemic regions be
fore the war in Silesia, Poland, Russia
and Galicia was from to 7 per cent,
at present it is over 20 per cent. It is
true that the epidemic has not yet as
sumed the proportions of epidemic
cholera in India, where in the town of
Bombay alone there were 2295 deaths
from January 12 to ?, 1919; but there
is a preat danger for Europe. All east
ern European states realize thi6, and
though they were at war with one
another, yet they sent their delegates
to the Budapest congress and decided to
place their resources in common.

BIG SUM AWAITS WOMAN
Missing New York Spinster Inherits
Large Fortune.
NEW YORK. Information is sought
as to the whereabout of Miss Mary E.
Wod, wealthy spinster of 40 years, who
inherited a large fortune from her
mother last September.
Details in the strange disappearance
were revealed in proceedings in the
surrogate's court, where Thomas H.
Smith, attorney, representing John W.
Lyon, an undertaker, is endeavoring to
obtain payment of the expenses at
tendant upon the burial of the missing
woman's wother. He explained how
real estate agents, collectors and others
had failed to find her. Her disappear
ance was complete, starting December
11, 1918. It is eaid large funds from
rents have 'accumulated for Miss Wood,
but have never been called for.
As Miss Wood's estate included valu
able parcels of real property, including
several houses in Hast One Hundred
and Eleventh street and others in other
parts of the city, here presence was re
quired for the transfer of title and pay
ment of taxes.
Inquiries of her neighbors failed to
shed any light on Miss Wood's mys
terious disappearance, and when Mr.
Smith called at the Lenox avenue house
he was told that sheriffs, process serv
era and others were also looking for
Miss Wood without success. Mail ad
dressed to the spinster was tossed into
the basement of her home and never
called for, the lawyer wa informed.
In the absence of Miss wood ner
agents have continued to collect rents
until a large sum has accumulated, and
according to Mr. Smith, repeated ef
forts by them to make an accounting
ave met with failure. The lawyer said
his search failed to establish whether
she is living or dead.

SANK COLLAPSE IS SEEN
Kansas State Institution Fails;
Probable Loss $300,000.
SALINA, Kan. A latent weakness of
the Kansas bank guaranty law has
developed in connection with the fail
ure of the Kansas state bank here, with
a probable loss of $300,000. It Is the
greatest bank collapse in years, and
growa out oi tne promotion oi an in
surance company and widespread
stock-elling schemes in which hun
dreds of farmers in central and west
ern Kansas have been victimized. The I
bank, as welL as its predecessor, whose
business it took over two years ago,
was the company's depositary and
handled the notes given for the pro
motion stock. '
While it has supposedly been under
close scrutiny of the banking depart
ment, with a resident examiner in close
touch, it was looted by means of false
deposit certificates issued by the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and by
substituting bad paper for good notes.
Because it was under the guaranty
law depositors were easily induced to
make deposits. In one instance 15,000
being given for a 115,000 deposit, and
in others offers of similar proportions
being made. The deposits could not
SARDINIA TRADE ATTRACTS
United States Commercial Attache
Studies Conditions.
ROME. Every attraction for the
American trader market, sufficient
domestic resources to warrant the ex
tension of credit and a sympathetic
clientele is to be found in Sardinia,
according to Dr. Alfred P. Dennis,
United States commercial attache after
his recent exhaustive study of the eco
nomic situation in the larger insular
possession of Italy.
"The Italian mainland. Just at pres
ent," said Dr. Dennis for the Associ
ated Press, "has very little that she can
exchange with us. America wants her
cheeae and olive oil. but the supply of
both these commodities is below the
margin of home consumption.
"The situation is much better in Sar
dinia. The Island produces cork, olive
oil, tomato paste, wool, sheepskins,
almonds, canned tunnyfish and peco-
rino cheese greatly in excess oi Do
mestic requirements. These native
nrnduets she would gladly exchange for
American coal, shoes, agricultural im
plements, cheap soap, cutlery and
kitchen utensils. Here lies the coinci
dence of natural supply and demand
which furnish the essential elements
for carrying out a true programme of
barter.
An American steamship service or

and Sardinian ports would be a novelty

profitable venture. Such an enterprise,
of course, would postulate the estab
lishment of trade agencies and bank
Iner facilities in Sardinia.

CAPITAL LEVY IS REJECTED

to some four hundred million pounds
a year. Either that debt must be re
duced by some heroic effort to redeem
the capital, or that interest must b
raised as a first charge on industry for
an indefinite period of time, or the
nation must repudiate its obligations."
No other course, he asserts, is possible.
The advocates of a capital levy, he
explains, propose that a substantial
portion of the country's debt shall be
liquidated by a graduated contribution
from all who own more than a limited
amount of the national wealth.

STATIONS.
I :
LONDON. (Corespondence of the
Associated Press.) The house of com
mons has rejected by a vote of 317 to
72 a nroDOsal made by the liberal party
and endorsed by the labor party for
a lew on capital as a means of dis
charging part of England's enormous
war debt.
Sir Donald McLean, one of the liberal
leaders, in the debate 'preceding the
vote, depdecated making the question
one of party, as a capital levy, he said.
"an emergency proposal to meet, an
emergency situation." The government,
he said, had to choose between a levy
on capital or a continuance of the
present heavy income taxation for 30
or 50 years.
Austin Chamberlain, chancellor of
the exchequer, refused to consider the
idea of such a levy. He said he would
not even consent to a committee of in
vestieation into the subject, because
its appointment would create fear and
Insecurity, and "would disturb the
minds of people to whom we must look
for help in order to bring the finances
of the country back into order.'
A portion of the London press has
been dealing at considerable length
recently with the question of a capital
levy. One of its principal proponents
is C. F. G. Mastehman, a prominent
liberal.
"We have concluded the war," he
argues, "with a deadweight debt bur
den of some eight thousand millions of
pouds ($40,000,000,000). Interest and
sinking fund on thia debt will amount
