FEEK HOMES FOR LITTLE ORPHANS ten jflotherless and Fatherless Children On Arch Street Waiting To Be Given Good Home.

Richard Murray, manager of ray Brothers brickyards in Cl notified the local police this afternoon | of a burglary alleged to have been committed at his office last evening by a negro employe named Irving Giles. Giles, he claims, cut away the win- dow sash, entered the office and after pulling down the shades, lighted the electric lights and proceeded to pick the combination of the safe. As N Murray had simply locked the daj combination, this was an easy matter and he says Giles took a check made out for $24.30 and nine blank checks ter in the evening it is said Gile cashed the check at Butle aloon | and it was presented at the bank for | payment this morning before M. Murray learned of the burglary. Giles is described as an unusually tall and thin negro and is one who likes to travel in style when he has the coin. Last Saturday night he re- c in pay and came home to his boarding house early Sunday morning in a taxicab. Mr. Murray reported other troubles brewing at the Clayton brickyards and said that a serious fight was nar- rowly averted yesterday afternoon when one negro insulted another p: gro’s wife.

Pres: London, June 2 School-rooms or moving picture palaces may be taken over by the government living quarters for women and employed either in the munition tories or in the ordinary busines London and other large cities. It wili be one way of solving one of the questions forced into prominence by the war, namely the housing of tho sands of women workers. To this end women of the upper and middle class whose age prevents them from: entering munition factories or tak- ing service on the farm are urged to as the government in improvising a comprehensive scheme. Scarcity of labor has stopped build- ing and the small cottages in or near the big centers of population are in unusual demand. The sudden in- crease in the number of munition workers has involved great migrations of labor. If there is a scarcity, amounting a'- most to a famine, of small houses, in a good many cases, though not in all, large houses can be obtained. The cost of living has led upper and middle-class families to migrate from the large house to the small one or a flat. Many large houses are emp but the women have yet to set to- gether on a plan to occupy them girl of st incomes. An appeal was made to landlords to allow the tem- porary occupation of such dwellings, to be conducted as hotels or out among women. At a few women’s hotels these wom- en obtain comfort and excellent meals at an exceedingly modest price. Such a result is possible only hy combina- tion and co-operation because alone in so cheaply.

PHILIPPINE SILVER SELLS AT PROFIT \British India Takes 7,500,000 Pesos, Paying Large Premium \Correanondence of cae Associated Press.” Manila, P. I, June 27.—The Philip- pine government has just sold to the sovernment of British India 00,000 silver pesos at a profit of close to half a million dallars over the original cost of the currency. The pesos when | coined, each contained about thirty | cents worth of silver but the price which they were sold was 38.6 cents. The phenomenal rise in the price of silver the world aver some weeks ago ied officials of the insular government to study the question of the wisdom of disposing of a part of the silver hoard which the Philippines purchased at the law prices current in 190 11903, ! 1ade ary by law to secure the suance of 34,000,000 pesos of paper (silver certificates.)

The Wisconsin senator had the floor today to continue criticism of the gen- era] preparedness program. Objection to the bill’s provision ap- propriating $11,000,000 for a govern- ment armor plate plant was voted down, 51 to 17. Senators Oliver and Penrose led opposition to this feature, contending the armor plate controver- sy should be left to the federal trade commission. Construction of a manu- facturing plant, they declared, would not be true economy. Senator LaFollette quoted from committee hearings to prove that the American navy is in better shape than preparedness advocates are willing to admit. The navy, he said, is stronger than Germany’s which although only half as big as Great Britain's has pre- vented invasion of Germany. Resuming the attack today, Senator LaFollette reiterated his declaration that the proposed doubling of expen- ditures for military purposes had been | actuated by selfish interests instead of patriotism, and asserted that there was not a military, economic or politi- cal reason to warrant the proposed appropriations. “The logic of the whole world sit- uation is against necessity for these proposed increases,” he said. ‘The great nations of the world with their devastation and exhaustion of re- sources in the past year have made it impossible for them to become a men- ace to America.” naval | an AUSTRIAN DERBY A BANNER EVENT Only Signs of War Are Uniforms of Officers (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Vienna, June 25.—The great an- nual Austrian Derby, the banner race of the sporting season for all Austria- Hungary, this year proved even more than the anticipated success. It far outdid the Derby of 1915, in general’ interest, attendance and sporting fea- tures. Many of the big features in society and the smart and brilliant gowns of peace-time were lacking, but the threatening weather was largely to blame for that. The Austrian race track crowd is totally unlike the one-time American crowd. The nerve-racked excitement of the American track is lacking, and when the horses come thundering down the track—from right to left instead of from left to right and sn sod instead of solid earth—there are ldom any shouts for this or that horse. A feature of the Austrian track is the surprising number of women who bet on the races. Thousands of them crowded to the pari-mutuel booths on Derby day, feverishly thrusting their ten and twenty crown bills to the cashiers, and jostlingly making their { way after each race to the pay-off booths. The women too furnished a sight that is not common on an Amer- ican track, for countless numbers of them strolled about the paddock, or leaned against the rail smoking cigs- rette after cigarette. They stood about the huge announcing board with cigarettes between their lips, program in hand, carefully and skilfully check- ing off the numbers of the horses to run in the next race and the names of the jockeys who were to ride them. The only signs of war, if they would strike even the outsider, were the gray uniforms of officers and soldiers who mingled with the crowd. The most popular favorite did not win, so there was a sorrowful ele- ment in the homeward-bound crowd, but on the whole it was a happy and refree throng, certainly one that gave no hint that fathers and broth- ers, hushands and sons are spread nut along several hundred miles of ba‘tle line. or wounded in the hospitals or dead and burled. | | POSTMASTERS RE-ELECT. | St. Louis Official Ts Again Chosen President.
