Sent from Jerome
In Cattle Cars
Jerome, Ariz., July 10. Hundreds
of miners and citizens, some with ri
fles and others with pick handles,
started at sunrise today to "clean"
the town of agitators whom they con
sidered undesirable as the result of
a strike called Friday by the metal
miners' branch of the Industrial
Workers of the World, which mem
bers of the international union repu
diated. No violence has been reported.
Most of the Industrial Workers ot
the World apparently learned of the
proposed organized "drive" and left
town during the night. Those -who
remained offered no resistance today
and they were ordered aboard a spe
cial train leaving soon for Jerome
Junction.
Sixty-seven Industrial Workers; of
the World finally were herded to
gether by the citizens and miners.
They were searched and loaded into
cattle cars, guarded by fifty armed
men. The train then started for Je
rome Junction, twenty-seven miles
away, where it was intended to un
load the prisoners. Jerome Junction
is on the main line of the Santa Fe
from Phoenix. Only two revolvers
were found on the deported men.
Colonel Green and Miss
Harlow Are Married
Chicago, July 10. Colonel Ed
ward H. R. Green, son of the late
Hetty Green, and probably the most
proposed-to man in the United States,
was married here today to Miss Mabel
E. Harlow of Highland Park, a sub
urb. The ceremony was performed
at Trinity Episcopal church.
The bride is wealthy in her own
right. The couple have been ac
quainted fifteen years.
Colonel Green, who shares the
$ 100,000,000 estate left by his mother
with his sister. Mrs. Mathew Astor
Wilkes, said that he was marrying for
something millions can't buy a real
home. The "most-proposed-to man in
the world," who declared that the
newspapers had caused him to receive
9.000 letters of proposal in the last
fifteen years, showed a human and
democratic side in discussing his mar
riage. "I am marrying tho best and most
sensible little lady in the world," he
said. "I atn marrying a quiet little
lady, to whom I can go when 1 am
burdened with the troubles of the
orld.
"I am marrying for a real home. I
want to say right now that I am not
marrying a society bud. I am mar
rying a truly sensible woman. I do
not know who is going to be the boss.
All I can say is that I am going to
try to be."
Gplo,nel Green gave his age as 48
years and Miss Harlow's as 47.
Colonel Green gave his bride a wed
ding gift of $625,000. Half million
was in a check and the remainder in
Liberty bonds.

Washington, July 10. Increased
difficulties today beset the administra
tion food control bill with its drastic
prohibition features.
Convinced that the bill is "loaded
down" and that the liquor provision
for government purchase of all dis
tilled spirits is unconstitutional and
either must be amended or stricken
out, senate leaders held conferences
while the debate proceeded on the
floor in an effort to devise amend
ments to pave the way for final pass
age of the bill.
The democratic steering committee
met before the senate convened, but
was unable to reach an agreement and
definite action was deferred.
Senators said the situation among
the steering committee members was
as chaotic as that in the senate.
To meet the constitutional objec
tions that his amendment illegally
imposes upon distillers the price to be
paid for their liquors, Senator Smoot
proposed to add an amendment to
another section of the bill. Another
plan considered by the steering com
mittee was to recommit the bill to
the agricultural committee with in
structions to correct the Smoot
amendment and also eliminate cotton,
steel, iron and possible other products
from the government control pro
posed. Burleson's Intrusion Resented.
While the steering committee was
in session Postmaster General Burle
son walked in and joined in the dis
cussion. Several senators soon left
the meeting, one of them expressing
resentment over the cabinet official's
participation.
Hope of an agreement later on
changes which will remove most of
the objections and secure a final vote
by unanimous agreement without re
sort to the pending cloture motion
was expressed by several leaders.
Senator Lodge, acting republican
leader, made a long speech in the
senate criticising the sweeping scope
of the bill as inimical to business. He
regretted invoking the cloture rule.
"What troubles me in this bill," he
said, "is the attempt to set aside eco
nomic laws. This bill undertakes to
give to the president absolute con
trol of all the business in this
country."
Senators from wheat-producing
states and the great centers of wheat
distribution, the Massachusetts sena
tor declared, had told him that the
mere threat of this bill had for the
moment destroyed the wheat market
and disarranged the great machinery
of distribution.
"I am told," he added, "that a
proposition has already been made
to fix the price of sugar which would
make it impossible for the beet sugar
manufacturers to make any profit."
Senator Lodge opposed forcing
copper producers to sell at abnormal
ly low prices. "We may save some
thing," he said- "but we will lose
more, closing small mines that are
producing the surplus vitally neces
sary." '
Business Already Disturbed.
When Senator Chamberlain sug
gested that the bill does not direct,
but merely authorizes the president
to take control of various products,
Senator Lodge said the mere possi
bility had already greatly disturbed
commerce. He declared congress
would freely, give any legislation
necessary to cope with food specu
lators. "Such i.ien are nothing more than

Act As Hotel Waiters
Boston, July 10. Former Gov
ernor David I. Walsh, August
Herrmann, chairman- of the Na-,
tional Base Ball commission, and
Elks from all parts of the country
today served as voluntary strike
breakers in leading hotels of Bos
ton, where dining room service had
been virtually suspended by a strike
of waiters, who quit work last night
to enforce demands for one day'
rest in seven without loss of pay.
The guests were forced to don
white aprons and pass coffee and
rolls. Tips were given to the fresh
air fund.
DUTCH CARGOES OF
GRAIN ARE TIED UP
Many Ships at Atlantic Ports
Awaiting Safe Conduct;
Food Smuggled to
Germany.
New York, July 10. Officials of the
Holland steamship firms, which have
sixteen vessels loaded with grain and
foodstuffs waiting in this port to sail
for Europe, declared today that some
of the consignees in Holland had been
forced into bankruptcy and many peo
ple were starving while waiting as
surances from the British government
that the ships would be given safe
conduct.
It was estimated that between thirty
and forty Dutch ships from 1,000 to
12,500 tons were tied up in Atlantic
ports.
An English diplomat said that ac
cording to most reliable information
the Dutch people are not in danger of
starving. lie also said the question
of permitting foodstuffs and grain to
be sent to Holland was most serious,
considering the reports that some
merchants of that country are smug
gling all available supplies into Ger
many to profit by the high prices.
The shippers were said to be par
ticularly anxious for their ships to
leave American ports before July 15,
when America's embargo on food
stuffs goes into effect.

BUSINESS WOMEN TO
GATHERJN CHICAGO
Members of Organization to
Discuss Feminine Solving
of Problems Arising
from War.
Chicago. July 10. Parts which
women may take in solving present
and future problems arising from the
war will be discussed at a national
conference of business women calkd
for July to 14 in Chicago by the
Women's Association of Commerce.
Miss Florence King, president of the
association, has announced that more
than 250 women have pledged attend
ance. "We know that when the war is
over there will be gigiantic problems
in the solution of which women must
aid," said Miss King in explaining
the objects of the convention. "Lord
Northcliffe has said that but for loyal
aid from the women of his country
the industries of England would be
paralyzed. This is the psychological
moment for American business wom
en to plan their work."
Part of the convention program
calls for demonstration of women's
ability in various lines of effort and
expositions of her progress which will
be presented on a revolving stage at
the American league base ball park,
under the direction of Mrs. S. Ella
Wood Dean.
The story of the pageant has been
written by Miss Mcta Wellers and
will involve the appearance of charac
ters representing historical women of
America.
World-Wide Crisis is
Test of Public Schols
Portland, Ore., July 10. The world
crisis, as it affects the United States,
and the part this country is playing in
it, is a test of the public school, ac
cording to Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford,
superintendent of public instruction of
Colorado, as expressed in an address
before the elementary section of the
National Educational association here
today.
Taking as her subject "The Public
School and the Nation in 1917," Mrs.
Bradford declared that if the United
States carries into effect its avowed
policy of "righteousness to all human
ity" and "sacrifice for all nations" it
will be "because the American public
school has, in some degree at least,
fulfilled the august task confided to it
by the commands of democratic gov
ernment." "If, after this great war to end wars
be over," she continued, "American
functions as the supreme idealistic
force in the reorganization of the
world, it will be because the public
schools have given to the nation a
higher vision than world has been.
"This is the great task of the pub
lic school in 1917; this the mighty ef
fort that must be made by the school
people of today."
Pointing out that non-Americans
had declared the public school system
of this country the "supremely distinc
tive feature" of the American develop
ment, Mrs. Bradford declared:
"A new vision must come to the
school world of America; a vision that
reveals it to itself as the moulder of
the soul-stuff of the nation in the like
ness of the ideal humanity."
