tional News Service.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Berious
violence marked the opening of the
second week of the traction strike
early today. Elevated trains on both
tha Fast and West Sides were at
tacked with revolvers, bricks, bot
tles and stones. Many passengers
had narrow escapes from being seri
ously injured, in one instance a bullet
lodging in the woodwork of an ele
vated car a shcort distance from a
passenger’s head.
Windows were shattered and per
gons in trains thrown into paniec. In
every instance, however, the attack
ers succeeded in making their es
cape before the police could reach the
roofs of bulldings from which mis
slles were thrown.
Efforts to resume surface car traf
filc on a larger scale than has been
attempted since the strike went into
effect were hampered today by pleces
of wood and bits of metal placed in
the underground trolley slots by
strike sympathizers.
Traffic Congested.
At One Hundred and Tenth street
and Lexington avenue iron hooks
were found wedged in the slot. Pieces
of wood were jammed in at Four
teenth street and Eighth avenue and
at Twenty-third street and Seventh
avenue.
Traffic on the subway and elevated
lines was normal early in the day,
although the congestion was marked
because of reduced service on the
surface llnes. Hundreds crowded the
downtown platforms of the various
stations and many were left stand
ing as trains packed to the limit
passed by with closed doors.
The refusal of Union railway offi
cials to allow strikebreakers to choose
their own routes caused friction at
the West Farm barns. Several men
took off their uniforms and quit work,
admitting that they did not intend to
work on “lean” runs, while fellow
strikebreakers waxed rich on busy
routes.
Probe Continues.
The puklic service commission to
day continued its probe into the
causes of the strike on the Third Ave
nue surface system, the hearing hav
ing recessed to give Louis Fridiger,
attorney for the Carmen's Union, an
opportunity to confer with Organizer
Fitzgerald of the Amalgamated Asso
clation.
Labor leaders proceeded today with
their efforts to tie up various
branches of industry in a sympathetic
walk-out. Their efforts met success
at a branch office of the Adams Ex
press Company, where 50 drivers went
on strike, demanding an increase in
wages, but stating that they were also
acting in sympathy with the traction
strikers. Ebployers thmug})out the
city feared that this actlon was the
forerunner of a general strike by the
teamsters,

MAGAZINE, ARK. Sept. 15.—More
than six thousands dollars in gold
and sllver currency was plowed up on
the farm of the iate Colonel Evans, near
here, by his son-in-law. Evans' chil
dren say the money was buried by their
father, who died refusing to tell where
the wealth was concealed.
The sum represents pension money
Evans drew from the Government in
the last twenty years. He never used
a cent of the pension money. As soon
as his voucher arrived, he always
cashed it and then buried the money.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.—Mrs. Julia 8..
Burton admits that for seven vears
Earl A. Burton was an ideal husband
to her. Two years ago the change
came, and it came with such decided
emphasis that Mrs. Burton could hard
ly believe that her husband was the
same man. For seven years Burton, a
teacher, had arrived punctually for
dinner at his home at No. 407 West
Seventy-first street. His evenlngs‘
were spent at home with his wife or
at the neighborhood movie. }
Just what brought about the change‘
Mrs. Burton still professes entire 13—3
norance. However, she has begun suit
for divoree in the Superior Court. Ex
cerpts from the divorce bill tell, as
nearly as possible, what happened to
Burton,
As the wife alleges, for example:
“Until 1914 (they were married in
1907) he was an ideal husband. Then
his manner underwent a sudden
change, and since last Christmas he
has been staying out late at night and
has constantly been seen in the com-+
pany of other women.” {
Here is where the inevitable stenog
rapher appears in the role of the “oth®
er woman” and enters the marital
drama of the Burtons as the wife
avers:
“For the past three months he has
devoted himself to a ‘certain stenog
rapher” He has spent his evenings
with her; he has given her expensive
presents; he has taken her to lunch
eons, to dinners and has taken her on
automobile rides. :
“He wants to leave his wife because
of his infatuation for the stenographer
and told his wife that he was going to
leave her on Steptember 1.”
Mrs. Burton asserts that although
her husband has an income of '55,000
annually, he has neglected to support
her properly. She also alleges that
recently she learned that her hl;sband
deserted a former wife and child be
fore he was divorced and nnarried
her, \

SYCAMORE, N. Y., Sept. 15.—A re
markable story of the results of the
Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago, in
1903, involving a happy reunion of
mother and son in this city, has just
come to light here.
Unexpected and unheralded, Milton
Simmons walked into his mother's
home here after having been missing
since the day that Chicago was awe
stricken by the destruction of the Iro
quois Theater, with a heavy loss of
life,
Every possible.means of search had
been resorted to to locate the missing
son, but without avail.
Simmons was employed in the thea
ter at the time of the fire, He oper
ated a spot light in the gallerv. When
the fire was discovered, he leaped 60
feet to the main floor of the theater,
where he crawled over bodies to one
of the exits and was pulled out uncon
scious. His head and back were badly
injured.
After four months in a hospital, he
recovered and went to Tipton, Ind., to
engage in business. In that city he
married. Later he moved to Kokomo,
Ind., where he engaged in the con
tracting business,
Meanwhile his mind was a blank re
garding parts of his past. He could
not recall the whereabouts of his par
ents. He thought them dead,
About a year ago Simmons suffered
a severe illness and barely survived.
Speciallsts examined him and discov
ered pressure on the brain. An opera
tion partly restored his memory, He
recalled his trip West to Des Moines,
Towa, where he had first gone to the
home of an uncle,
After some correspondence, Sim
mons ascertained the whereabouts of
his mother, who had moved to this
city from Palmer, Miss., where Sim
mons was born and lived unti] he was
17 years of age, at which time he went
West. Meanwhile an Infant sister hag
become a young woman and Sim
mons’ mother has grown old and gray.

i The hearing before the Railroad
{ Commission on the petition of the
Georgia carriers for a general revi
i sion of intrastate rates recessed Fri
day for two weeks. The commission
| will take up other matters in the
| meantime,
| Proposed rates on stoves, ranges
and hardware, and the effect upon
| business were presented at Friday
| morning’s session by Randall Clifton,
assistant freight traffic manager of
| the Southern Railroad.
| He pointed out that the present
grate on carload lots is fifth class and
ion less than carloads third class. The
rate propose for the fifth class is 78
’per cent of the present rate and for
i the third class 71 per cent, he said.
| "“The present rates and proposed
| rates in Georgla are lower than the
| interstate rates to representative
l points for the same distance,” he con
t:nued.
i “The carriers could have proposed
lhlgher rates on these commodities,
but have not done so because they
were fixed after long and disagreea
ble litigation. It is hoped by the car
riers that the proposed moderate ad
vances, if granted, will eliminate al
leged discriminations sufficiently to
;remove complaints from nearby
States which compete with the Geor
gia manufacturers.
“The proposed rates represent ad
vances to a majority of the common
points in Georgia with few reductions
to common points, such as from At
lanta to Bainbridge, Pembroke and
other points. While the Commission
has issued a special ecircular to bring
about reductions of class rates to a
number of points, this does not apply
uniformly throughout the State. It
is proposed=to make this apply uni
formly, subject to the long and short
haul principles.
“The proposed rates are as low
and lower than the going interstate
rates, so much so, in fact, that there
have been numerous complaints rrom‘
manufacturers in other States com
peting with Georgia industries. A‘
manufacturer at Florence, Ala., has‘
withdrawn salesmen from the Gnor-‘
gia territory because of alleged dis
crimination In Gecorgia rates. ‘
“Similar discriminations exist from
Sheffield, Ala.; Chattanooga, Knox- |
ville and other points, into the State.”

Coples of the new navy bill which |
recently went into effect have been
received at the office of Lieutenant |
Oscar F. Cooper, recruiting omcer,‘
in the Federal Bullding, and are be-‘
ing shown to applicants for places
on Uncle Sam'’s ships. |
A section of the bill provides that
if an enlisted man wants to get cut
of the navy after serving a year, he
can go on parole without pay. For
three years thereafter he is subject
to call in war or other emergency,
and if recalled his pay starts again.
It is stipulated that June and De
cember will be the only months in
which paroles of this kind will be is
sued. For instance, if a man enlists
in June he can get out the next June,
but if he enlists in July he must serve
his year plus four months, and if he
enlists in January he must serve un
til June of the following year. |
“T think this feature will prove very
attractive and stimulate enlisting,"‘
declared Lleutenant Cooper. *“Many
raen want a year's experience in the
navy and do not want four, and this
bill will make a short stay possible.
A year will provide sufficient train
ing to teach a man the rudiments.‘
and In case of war the department‘
will have a good reserve®to call on.”
Lleutenant Cooper will leave at‘
once to open up substations at Co
lumbia and Jacksonville. The Chat
tanooga, Memphis and Xnoxvilie sta-<
tions, formerly under direction of the
Atlanta station, have been put under‘
the Nashville station. Twelve recruits |
were sent away Thursday from the‘
local office to the Training School at
Norfolk. ‘
Removal of Liquor
The Council Pollce Committee
Thursday afternoon approved the or
dinance requiring the Southern Ex
press Company to move its liquor de
pot from the corner of Chapel and
Mangum streets to “somewhere with
in the inner fire limits.”
It was stated at the meeting that
the company would attack the constie
tutionality of the ordinance in the
\courts.
U. §. ATTORNEY'S VACATION.
