In part:
"This Is not the hour for tariff tinker

What's Your Harry, Mr. Hrrlmf
Women No Longer Have Special
Privileges In Playhouses of
French Capital.
PARIS. Aug. 22. (Special.) The
atergoers In Paris are to be delivered
from the big hat nuisance. New police
regulations concerning theaters pub
lished today prohibit categorically the
toleration by the management of any
conditions that may prevent the public
from seeing or hearing a performance
Even a mountainous style of dressing
the hair may create trouble for a wom
an, as the ordinance says:
"If -complaint be made by a specta
tor that because of the headdress of
anyone before him he cannot see, the
cause of complaint must be removed.
In other words, the "rata" must be
taken off, or the lady must leave.
Women In theaters here no longer
enjoy greater liberties than men. An
other clause in the regulations pro
hibits the sale of tickets outside of
theaters, and makes sidewalk specula
tion in theater tickets a punishable
offense.

worth of jewelry, Mrs.Margaret Lord, wife
of Edward Lord, who posed In Chicago
as an examining surgeon in the 'United
States Navy and heir to $300,000, making
many acquaintances among society peo
ple, today asked the police to arrest her
husband.
"My husband was arrested some time
ago on a charge of defrauding John D.
Pennington, chief master of arms of the
recruiting station here, out of J1000," said
Mrs. Lord. "I stood by him at that time,
and now he has repaid my love and devo
tion by robbing me of every cent I had
in the world and leaving me destitute."
Since the robber)' she has found that
Lord has been leading a double life for
months. While he was deceiving her he
had an "affinity" named Mabel Lang,
Mrs. Lord asserts. Her husband spent
three days a week at home, and the rest
of his time he devoted to the other wom
an. He told Mrs. Lord he was compelled
to go to Milwaukee every week on busi
ness. LOST ON HIS WEDDING DAY

SENDS KERN TO FAR WEST
Democratic Leaders Confer in Chi
cago and Decide to Make Middle
West and Atlantic States
Battle-Ground for Votes.
CHICAGO. Aug. 22. William J. Bry
an will make a determined effort to
place New York State In the Demo
cratic column. Plans to this end were
carefully laid today at a three-hour
conference of Mr. Bryan, National
Chairman Mack, heads of the various
bureaus of the National Committee,
and members of the executive commit
tee at Democratic headquarters, short
ly after Mr. Bryan's arrival here from
Des Moines.
Mr. Bryan will speak in New York,
Syracuse and Rochester between Sep
tember 16 and 20, and early in October
will again speak in New York City and
in Buffalo. Reports received by Chair
man Mack gave strong hope to Mr.
Bryan and members of the National
Committee that the Democrats could
carry New York if Mr. Bryan would
speak in the principal centers of the
state.
Send Kern to Pacific Coast.
It was further developed at the con
ference that Mr. Bryan would make a
sharp fight in the Middle West, while
John W. Kern, the Vice-Presidential
candidate, would likely be called upon
to make an extended tour of the Pacific
Coast States.
After the conference had been called
shortly before noon. Chairman Mack
ir.M. that the heads of the various
committee bureaus submit reports of
their plans and the progress maae in
their bureaus. The National Commit
teemen present told of the situation in
their states,-and it was generally
i-jal that the outlook for the Demo-
oratlc National ticket was most prom
ising. ,
Indiaaa Sure, Says Taggart.
Ex-Natlosal Chairman Thomas Tag
gart declared tbat Indiana would sure
lv ro for Bryan, and that the Republi
cans were using money to divide the
labor vote. Governor Haskell, ot Okla
homa, treasurer of the National Com
mittee, declared that Oklahoma would
give Mr. Bryan 60,000 pluriMty. and
that the state would contribute Jfl,900
to the campaign fund, of which IJV.IW
has already been raised.
Political conditions in the Middle
West were taken ud. and Senator Cul
berson, chairman of the advisory com
mittee, who has been spending the
Summer In Maryland, Informed Mr.
Bryan and the committeemen that
West Virginia and Maryland would In
all probability be found in the Demo
cratic ranks.
Make East Battle-Ground.
It was the opinion of those taking ac
tive part in the committee's deliberations
that the most effective campaign for Mr.
Bryan would be to make speeches In all
the Middle West states, speaking only In
the principal centers and then to carry
the fight through West Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, New Jersey and New
York State. Much of the time. It was sug
gested, Mr. Bryan would spend on these
trips In conference with the National
committeemen and state leaders and in
this way give valuable aid and direction
In the various state campaigns.

BOLD WORK OF SPECULATORS
Matching of Orders Suspected
by Brokers.
WANT AN INVESTIGATION
Sales of Blocks of 5000 Shares Make
It Impossible for Small Dealers
to Secure Recognition Har
riman Stocks Take Drop.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. (Special.) In to
day's two-hour session of the New York
Stock Exchange, transactions amounted
to 1,136,000' shares, more than 1,000,000 of
which were stocks of only 11 companies.
Prices fluctuated between sales in a most
remarkable manner. Experienced brokers
said they had never seen such extraordi
nary evidences of bold manipulation.
Wholesale matching of orders being sus
pected, the sheets showing the day's
transactions will be closely scrutinized,
as they go through the stock exchange
clearing-house - Monday. Many brokers
talked of askirg the governors of the
exchange to make an investigation. Yes
terday's aggregate sales were 660,000
shares at the five-hour session and no
news to account for today's sensational
activity had come.
Prices Go Bounding Cp.
Public Interest in the stock market
was at a low ebb at the opening this
morning. . The astonishment was gen
eral, therefore, when transactions in
very large blocks of stocks began
immediately after opening, and prices
kept changing quickly without appar
ent reason. Brokers noted this ec
centricity, particularly when Great
Northern,- the old standard Investment
stock, went jumping half points be
tween sales.
Sales of 5000 shares and upward of
various stocks chosen for today's dis
play were so frequent as to make a
man dealing In 1000 shares look like
a piker. In fact, a broker trying to
execute an order for 1000 shares or less
wu overlooked. Figures for the day
relative to all stocks dealt In testified
forcibly to a lack of public interest
in the market and the Intensity of
professional manipulation.
The sales of the session embraced
ninety-seven stock transactions. In
eleven of these the stocks aggregated
1,064,000 shares, leaving but 72,400
shares to show for dealings in all
others.
Some Heavy Sales.

In other ordinarily active stocks
there was small volume of trading
compared with that in the 11 favorites,
many striking examples being found
In the totals of the day.
While the manipulation was In prog
ress In the chosen 11, the recording ma
chinery of the exchange became clogged
by the multiplicity of transactions, and
the tape ran far behind the market.
Customers of brokerage houses could
only guess whether their orders could
be executed at the tape' prices or at
figures differing from it by a point or
more. The magnitude of transactions
on the floor and wide swings in sales
increased this confusion.
Just what today's demonstration was

The Captain Forgot Ahout the Noose.
Dr. Antonio La Gorio, of Chicago,
Calmly Discusses Chances
of Life.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22. (Special.) Acci
dentally inoculated with hydrophobia,
Dr. Antonio La Gorio, founder of the
Chicago branch of the Pasteur Insti
tute, 238 Dearborn avenue, today Is fight
ing the dread disease which he has
treated so successfully in the case of
others for 20 years. The eminent spe
cialist, through a mishap in his labora
tory, has the deadly germs In his sys
tem. The frontal bone of a rabbit's skull,
which he was dissecting for the benefit
of a clinic, penetrated the skin under the
nail of the finger of the left hand. The
animal had been Infected with rabies
and the physician realized In an instant
that he must heal himself or face the
tortures of death from hydrophobia.
"It will require three weeks for the in
oculation to make Itself evident," said
Dr. La Gorio today. "I am not afraid
of the ordeal, but the bravest of men
must be thoughtful when the prospect of
death confronts them. While I am
hopeful of the result, because the remedy
was applied with promptness, I cannot
help looking forward with dread to the
outcome. Pause to think of the feelings
of an otherwise healthy man who Is
obliged to wait for three weeks until he
Is able to sign his own death warrrant,
or allow himself his allotted time on
earth."

Z. P. Brosseau, Board of Trade Op

of Honor, Cries Blackmail.
His Wife Stands By Him.
CHICAGO. Aug. 22. (Special.) Ma
licious exertion of a baleful hypnotic in
fluence and abuse of his knowledge ot
the occult are charged against Z. P.
Brosseau, millionaire Board of Trade op
erator, man of letters. Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor, and a leader In the
French colony of Chicago, In a $50,000
damage suit which Is being prepared by
J. H. Migneron, a lawyer and compatriot
of Brosseau. . '
Brosseau Is accused of having alienated
the affections of the lawyer's wife, Marie
Angele Denault Migneron, and with exer
cising a compelling power over her. Mig
neron also charges that the millionaire
has' sought to ruin his reputation and
business with the purpose of driving him
away from Chicago.
Blackmail, Says Brosseau.
"It is a clear case of blackmail," de
clared Mr. Brosseau. "The charges are
outrageous. The man is not married. I
have nothing further to say."
Mr. Brosseau's statement that Migneron
Is not married, and the lawyer's decla
ration in the bill he is preparing that he
was married to Marie Angele E. Denault
in Quebec in 190.1, through the civil mar
riage service of Canada, led to . an effort
to find Migneron and his wife today. They
have lived at 2216 Michigan avenue for
some time. A reporter called at the resi
dence and was confronted with a broken
glass door and the sign "Furnished
Room." Nobody answered the bell.
Efforts to find Mlgnerdn at his office
also proved futile, and It was given out
that Mrs. Migneron had drarted for Can
ada several days ago.
Son Defends Father.
C. L. Brosseau, son of the defendant in
the action, was willing to discuss the
matter more fully ' than his father.
"The charges against my father abso
lutely are untrue," he said. "It Is nothing
but a case of blackmail. This case will
be fought to a finish, and before it Is
ended somebody will suffer."
Mrs. Brosseau also declures that the
charges against her husband are out
rageous, and an attempt to compromise
him and injure his position in French so
ciety In Chicago.
