"KEEP GOTTON FROM TEUTONICCOUNTRIES British Public Want Government to Declare Product Contraband London, Aug. 12.—At a meeting held last night to impress upon the government the necessity of declaring cotton contraband of war, Sir William Ramsay, the eminent scientist, de- clared cotton was the only substance required for the manutacture of mu- nitions with which the Germans could | not supply themselves. He said chemical products can take the place of cotton n propulsive ammunition and that ammunition made from used cotton is not as effective as that made from unused cotton. {Sir Charles Macara, president of the Master Cotton Spinners’ association of Great Britain, presided at the meeting | and Sir Willlam was the principal | speaker. An inspired statement pub- lished in most of the newspapers yes- terday morning deprecating the agi- tation to make cotton contraband, and intmating that negotiations, with the United States on this subject were pro- ceeding, had the effect of lessening in- terest in the meeting Both the presid- ing officer and chief speaker were in- sistent, however, that immediate ac- tion should be taken. Consumed Cotton Surplus. In opening the proceedings the president of the cotton spinners said he had no doubt the manufacture of explosives had consumed a large part of the cotton surplus created by the war and added “We must utilize our command of the highways of the sea, both prac- tically and diplomatically, to prevent | cotton reaching enemies’ countries while at the same time acting fairly in the interests of neutral countries.” Keep Cotton From Enemies. ?He was sure the government had given anxious consideration to this most complicated problem and said there was no doubt that during recent months the stocks of cotton ac- cumulating at Liverpool had shown an improvement was taking place, but that it was absolutely necessary that strong and well considered measures shrould be carried out to keep cotton from the countries with which Great Britain is at war. Sir William Ramsay, who seconded a resolution which was passed de- manding that cotton be declared con- traband, asserted that while substi- ttites for cotton could be used in making nitro-cellulose, none of them had what was called the “ballistic power” of cotton and if anything else was used by the Germans it would necessitate enlarging the chambers of their guns and altering the sights of their rifles, an expedient which not evén Germany could be prepared to adopt in the course of a great war. He declared that cotton was going into Germany by devious routes. It was sold, he said, to Dutch and Swedish companies under a guarantee that it would not be sold to Germany or Aus- tria. While technically this guaran- tee was no violated, Sir Charles con- tedded, it was in reality a subterfuge, for the Dutch and Swedish consignees sold the shipments to Swiss- com- panies who, in turn, sold them to Great Britain’s adversaries. Thousand Tons a Day. The estimate was made by Sir Charles that a thousand tons of cotton is used every day of the war and he protested that it was grossly unfair to tRe English soldiers and their allies that Great Britain should continue to supply Germany with this commodity. +“Had cotton been stopped at the be- ginning of the war,” he said, ‘we might reasonably expect to see the war nearing an end.” Meeting Not Tainted. London, Aug. 12, 10:45 a. m.—The Minchester Guardian denies the im- plication that the meeting held -in London last night to urge ‘the gov- ernment to declare cotton contraband was tainted with commercialism, in that the cotton interests would bene- fit by such a declaration. «If Manchester men have a policy, iteis not for trade or for sectional Feasons, but on broadly national grounds,” this paper says. “Our own views on the matter are these: ‘otton is more necessary for pur- poses of war than any other article of commeree, and it passes our com- prehension how it ever came to be put on the free list.” The Guardian deprecates the sug- gestion that England should buy the . Agnerican crop if cotton should be déclared contraband, arguing that in case loss must be sustained the Amer- jcan’growers should be the chief suf- ferers. - When cotton was contraband during the Civil war, it adds, no oue bought a supply to relieve the famine in Manchester. no ALLIES TORPEDO GOEBEN. SLondon, Aug. 12, 4:52 a. m.—A de- spatch to the Daily Telegraph from Athens says the Turkish cruiser Goe- ben (renamed Sultan Selim after her purchase from Germany by Turkey) hag been torpedoed by an Allied sub- marine near the Bosphorus. A <e- sratel adds that the crew succeeded in running the cruiser around in z narrow creek, where workmen are now building a dike all round her to enable Tepairs to be made. BICYCLIST HITS BOY. George Willys of Fairview street re- ported to the police this noon that fle riding down Arch street on his bfpvele he ran into a small boy and knocked him down. Apparently the youngster was not injured, as he jumped up and ran away. MONEY DISTRICT DISTURBED OVER MR. REA’S ILLNESS There was considerable commotion in the financial districts of New York and Philadelphia when it was reported that Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania railroad was seriously ill. It was known that he was taken from his home at Gladwyne to the University of Pennsylvania hospital in Philadelphia for an operation. At the offices of the railroad it was said that Mr- Rea’s illness was not serious. STRIKE AT PRESSED METAL CO. SETTLED Bridgeport Firm and Employes Reach Agreement—Men Ordered Back To Work. Bridgeport, Aug., 12.—The machin- ists of the Lake Torpedo Company who suddenly left their work yester- day because they had not received a satisfactory answer to the demand for an increase in wages which would average about 13 per cent. were still out this morning, and with them, it was claimed, were many workers in metals in the plant who are not di- rectly affiliated with the machinists’ union. The strikers claim that they have been joined by many members of the Brotherhood Amalgamation of Engineers which is a British labor body equivalent to the International Association of Machinists. The number of men out could not be determined. Pickets were sent out by the strikers. The trouble at the Lake Torpedo Company arises over the wage issue, as practically all the men work on the eight hour basis, a requirement under federal law for plants which fill government contracts. The scale of increases demanded varies with the class af work, but the general aver- age is about 13 per cent. The Burns & Bassick Company to- day posted a notice to its men who number about 300, that the nine hour day with the present ten hour wage scale had been voluntarily granted. The concern makes oil cups for auto- mobiles which are shipped abroad and employ 45 machinists and many sheet metal workers. The R. P. K. Pressed Metal Com- pany, through its receiver, Carl Sie- mon, announced that it had sranted a settlement with its men satisfac- tory to them. The demands and set- tlement are not yet announced. The demands were made after the com- pany went into the receivership. The adjustment was made between George J. Bown, business agent of the ma- chinists, and Mr. Siemon. All the strikers were ordered back to work today. The shop committee of the ma- chinists of the Locomobile company of America waited upon S. T. Davis, Jr., the president of the company, to- day to discuss with him hte demands of the employess who, in a mass meet- ing Monday night, voted a preference for the eight hour day with an in- crease in wages over the bonus plan based upon amount of output just made effective by the company. No statement was made as to the progress of the negotiations, but it was repori- ed that concessions had been offered by each side forecasting a settlement of differences in this plant. The employes of the American and British Manufacturing company, who have made requests for changes in working conditions, held an open air meeting outside the factory this noon, business agent of the machinists, ad- and by invitation George J. Bowen, dressed them upon the henefits of or- ganization. WHERE THE MONEY GOE Some wonderment has been ex- pressed about the city as to where the money goes wHich is received from the ! fines levied out to police officers who | are brought before the safety board {and fined. In some cities this money reverts to the pension fund but in this city it does not leave the city treas- ury, the treasury being enriched just so much by the misfortune of the officers. , AUGUST 12, 1915. $50 GOLD PIFCE FOR EXPOSITION COIN| First Time That Denomination Has Been Authorized by U. §. of commemorative ccins authorized by act Of congress for the Panama-Pacific eXposition there is seen for the first time a $30 gold piece, authorized by government of the United States.

Yosemite, June 5—Yosemite valley is at the very height of its beauty. The deciluous irees are in new leaf. maples and dogwood in tenderest, brightest green, oaks tipped with rastel shades of pink and red in prophecy of their autumn glory, aza- leas in full bloom, and the meadows rippling mass of exquisite grass brightened with flowers. In June, too, the rivers are at their highest .and the falls in wildest beauty while ‘the fast melting snow still lies deep in the upper forests and on the higher mountain slopes. After a week or more in the valley, following the better-known trail getting muscles in condition agaln af- ter city-bound days, we were au- xious to see what spring was like in the snowy upper country. According- 1y, as pack animals were not to be obtained for love or money, we pre- pared to make pack animals of our- selves, and knapsack over to Mount Clark (11,509 teet) on the south- western boundary of the park, the most prominent peak of the Merced | group. | There were four of us in the party, men and two women, and Wwe planned to be out two nights with a comfortable margin of provisions for | a ‘third night, if necessary. Bacon, hardtack, and that blessing to moun- taineers, soup made up the bulk of re-enforced, how- ever, by raisins, chocolate, dried fruit, beans, spaghetti, and cheese. Our personal outfits, of course, were re- duced to hare essentials. A sleeping across the open country, over ridge after ridge, acrass stream after stream, until we came to the north- erly fork of Gray Creek, where we made & camp. We had reached the altitude of about 8,500 feet, and snow- drifts lay deep all about us. But fire- wood was abundant and our little nook among the tall firs promigeq every comfort that a knapsacker neea expect. In default of extra bedding we took hot rocks to bed with us, Up at Dawn. The night passed comfortably anq we were up at dawn ready for the assault on Mount Clark confident also of success. As we climbed the snow lay even deeper about us. The forest of fir and mountain pine gave way to the harler white-bark pine. The tree of timber-line. Up to the top of the ridge it crept, at the top a mero shrub, bent and twisted beneath the winter's weight of snow. As we climbed, our horizon to the south and west widened. We were looking across the valley of the Illii- .ouette toward the snowy divide sep- arating us from the South Fork of the Merced where lies Wawona and the splendid Mariposa grove of se- quoias. Yosemite valley was but a blue rift in the forest with only its great domes, Half Dome, Sentinel Dome, and Starr King, rising into any prominence. Far different was our view to eastward from the crest. Our ridge cnded on the east in an abrupt pre- cipice. Through a broken ‘“chim- or windowlike aperture in the we looked down 500 feet into a great snow field filling all the castern basin, and beyond this lay the cleft of the Merced Canyon, and, still beyond, the magnificent snowy peaks of the summit crest, Lyell, McClure, Ritter, Dana, a host of others, all above 13,000 feet, all shin- ing and gleaming in the brilliant sun- shine with a radiance that hardly seemed to belong to this world. Compensated Disappointment, Well for us that this glorious vision was compensation for all the many bag, weighing about eight pounds .a sweater, a change of hose, tooth- | brush, towel, a box of matches, and a tiny roll of adhesive tape wouldl about complete the list. Tin buck- ets, a small frying pan, and a tin cup and spoon apiece comprised the camp equipment. Share Alike With the Men. We women who “knapsack” pride ourselves on being abie to do share, so while we do not pretend to carry such heavy sacks as the men, Wwe carry our own outfits and a part, at least, of the general commissary supplies. Short-skirted, flannel-shirt- ed, with hobnailed boots to the knee and ‘“shocking bad hats,” we are as easy in our own clothing and as re- gardless of wind or weather as the men themselves. It was rather hard for us to nerve ourselves to meet the stares and queries of the tourlsts we met along the valley trail over which our trip must begin. All the way up to Little Yosemite we were beset with ques- tions—Where were we going Didn" we find it very hard work? Wouldn't lost? Weren't we afraid of getting sunburaed? We had an incli- nution to slink shamefacedly these proper-looking folk. In Little Yosemite we made u camp beside the smoocthly flowing Merced, | and after lunch set out on a ramble up toward the base of Half Dome. Up the Cloud’s Rest trail we climbed, and then pushed through the forest | to the brink of Tenaya Canyon, a forge almost as deep as Yosemite Valley itself, inaccessible to all but the hardiest mountaineers. The great chasm, more than 2,000 feet deep, lay at our feet. Half Dome toward ma- jestically against the sky, and still far- ther we could see the shadowed cliffs of E] Capitan and the Cathedral Rocks. we get A Buck In Velvet. My companion on this ramble elect- ed to climb_Clouds Rest before re- turning to camp, so I made my way back to Little Yosemite alone. Near the foot of the trail, in a glarious lit- tle mountain meadow, I surprised a beautiful buck, the largest I have cver seen in the Sierra. His horns were in velvet, and he stood so near e that I could see the quick nervous movement of his nastrils as he watchn- ed me. For two or three minutes we stood there regarding one an- other. Then, with a nonchalant wag of his funny little tail, he turned and made off through the woods, as un- hurriedly and indifferently as if I, too had been a woodland creature. Per- haps I looked it. After his depar- ture I examined the meadow more closely. It was a little gem of its kind, sloping frem a ledge of granite that was ocvered with gnarled and crooked punipers. At the first glimpse I thought it an unbroken sheet of the tiniest blossoms of yellaw mimulus, but, on kneeling down, 11 species of flowers revealed themselves, all the daintiest and most delicate of their kind—yellow violetls, white forget-me nots, gilias, white saxifrage, and the smallest pink tea I have ever seen. A knapsacker’'s camp is a simple affair—a bed of pine needles, a few stones rolled together to make a fire- place, a pile of firewood gathered tc- gether; and there is home. By & o’clock netx morning we were As our energetic leader husied him- self with the breakfast fire, a doe came out of the woods and stood mo- tionless for a long minute watching him before she quietly stole away. Where one's possessions are so few, washing dishes and packing is a mat- ter of scant ceremony. In less than an hour we were ready for the :(rail, or for the march, rather, as we ex- pected to leave trails behind us and strike across country to the base of Mount Clark. Hot Rocks to Warm Cold Beds. We held it to be but a tribute to our skill as mountaineers, however, when we found an old sheep trail fol- | lowing the very route we had planned * to take.

Up and down the ridge we prowl- ed, over every ledge, into every chimney, only to admit ourselves de- feated in the end. For an hour or more we remained upon the ridge feasting our eves on the marvelous panorama—a hundred miles of snowy range, a magnificent alpine region, the greater part of which is now almost inaccessible, soon to be opened to travel by the construction of the John Muir traii.

EDUCATIVE MOVEMENT FOR TAXATION REFORM Samuel T. Howe Says That Most Tax Systems Must Be Changed to Equalize Burden. San Francisco, Aug. 12.—An educa- tive movement for reform in taxation, national in its scope, was advocated by Samuel T. Howe, vice president of the Ntional Tax assoclation, in an address last night before the ninth annual con- ference of that body. If the ideal of equality of burden in taxation is to be realized in any considerable degree, most tax systems must be radically changed, Mr. Howe said, “The glittering generalitics of pol- ltcal platforms formulated mot in- frequently with little or no knowledge of fundamental principles or of the Teal facts of taxation, and too often for the sole purpose of winning votes, Seem now-a-days much more influen- Gl In shaping tax laws, then the de- sire to distribute the burden among tke citizens upon some equitable plan,” he declared, There was now substantial agree- ment among advocates or tax reform, he explained that faculty or ability should measure the obligation of taxa- tion. General property tax as a means ot equitable taxation was = complete failure and needed amendment so ag to permit classification. A tax upon inheritances was tne least ob- jectionable of all taxes , he sald, That vpon consumable articles is largely shifted to the consumers, including consumers of public service, There were important primary pro- positions, he thought, that the gen- eral public should know about.
