In this connection he writes: “Major Murphy of the U. S. A. has complete charge of the auto service of the regular army and rumors are rife that we are to be taken over by the U. S. Army. Those who do desire to shift will of course . have to pass the regular exam and sign for the duration of the war.

Washington, Aug. ators from many parts of the country are in Washington to take up with government officials the prices just fixed for their product. Alabama operators brought with them sched- ules purporting to show that in some 28.—Coal oper- instances their coal costs them more to produce than the government has allowed as a selling price. Cost figures prepared by the oper- ators will be presented to the federal trade commission, on whose cost of production statistics President Wilson based his prices for coal. Officlals admit that the prices set will drive many operators out of busi- ness, but say that while individuals will suffer the public generally will benefit. Both bunker and export coal, it was stated today, are to be Inciuded in the new scale of prices. Bona fide contracts for this coal, however, as for domestic coal, will not be dis- turbed. Francis E. Peabody, chairman of the coal committee of the Council of National Defense, declaved that oper- ators generally felt the government prices were fair and that any in- equalities, would be corrected. The ser of the coal committee, he #aid, would be put at the disposal of Mr. Garfield The labor situation give officials some concern. Miners throughout the country are asking wage increases, which in most in stances, it is stated, will be refused s now that the price of coal has been reduced. The government, some offi- cials believe, may have to intercede even to the extent of working out with all intrests concerncd a general wage scale. continues o OF GREAT FAREWELL Filty Thousand There to Bid Good- Bye to Soldiers New Haven, Aug. 28.—A vast stream of 50,000 persons flowed into the Yale Bowl last evening to pay tri- bute to Connecticut’s fghting sons— the 102d regiment—in the most unique night event, probably that has ever been sent out of doors in New Haven or this state. The occasion was New Haven's of- ficial farewell to her boys and to her neighbors’ boys and it was in the na- ture of a great outdoor carnival wherein vaudeville acts of a spectac- ular turn held sway. From all over the state came fathers and mothers and sisters of soldiers encamped at i Camp Yale, in hundreds, to see and take part in this extraordinary event. They thronged through the city iIn ! seeming endless streams of humanity to the great, brilliantly illuminated Bowl, where a perfect falryland of electricity had turned it into some- thing that New Haven has never seen before. Under the great flood of light against the dark walls of the vast structure sat the great dark human iining of the Bowl, giving one of the mopst remarkable’ and indescriljable picturese possible. Blocks of seats had been reserved for the soldiers, and in the dim light they could be, vaguely discerned in their khaki uniforms. But all that the observer from the stage saw was a vast block of indefinite dark color- ing, like the blotch which a futuristic artist might make on his canvas, fickered through the dense mass of people. Two huge lights at either end of the impromptu stage silhouet- ted the actors and their movements against the background of midnight darkness in giving a wonderful effect and a splendid opportunity to see clearly the whole act. And when, at the end of a seven- act bill of lively vaudeville the miltary band of seventy-five pieces arose and played “The Star Spangled Banner”, the fifty thousand persons in the Bowl, too, arose as one in the most remarkable demonstration New Hav- en has ever seen. Small boys whistled raucously, and women applauded Be- fore the anthem was done, three hun- dred naval reservists, who had been guests at the great open air circus swung into line and marched across the green grass that carpets the Bowl, and out into the street that led to their station. The cheers of farewell that greeted them nearly drowned out the playing of the great band. And even then the fifty thousand were reluctant to leave the great structure, and it was only at the ur- gent requests of soldier-ushers that the long lines were finally started for the exits and the march for home begun. i Crowd Starts Early. Six o'clock last evening found the crowd well started for the Bowl. At even that early hour there were many tiers of seats filled and trolley carsjammed. An hour later Chapel street from College far out into the vicinity of the Bowl was a mass of pepole afoot, the throngs boiling over into adjacent thoroughfares where walking was not so tedious and more speed possible. At 8 o’clock, when the “free circus” had been advertised to begin, the Bowl was almost filled. Only here and there, at the upper tiers of seats, was there va- cant space. The people had been mindful of the warning that the pro- gram would start on time and there were few stragglers to arrive after the celebration had started. ‘When the crowds began to arrive the territory adjacent to the different entrances to the big Yale structure took on the appearance of a circus ground. It was a democratic gather- ing, too, and men and women and children of all ages and stations were in evidence. Many families traveled in units, and in many cases parents carried babes in arms that had but lately felt their swaddling clothes to the past. Inside the Bowl the scene was one of quickening inspiration. The green grass upon which Yale football glad- jators have fought for the mastery of the gridiron took on a deeper hue under the glare of 7,500 candle power of electric lights. And under this bril- liance the sea of faces, the uniforms of the soldiers, the swaggering blue of the naval reserves, the pretty gowns of the women and the colorful cos- tumes of the vaudeville performers, all, flashed upon the eye of the spec- tator as a parorama of marvelous splendor and beauty. Hardly a soldier was there alone. Tach had a proud mother, father, sis- ter or sweetheart on his arm. By reason of the fact that nearly every town and city in the state of conse- quence is represented on the roster of the new 102nd regiment, many out- siders were among the vast audience. PREACHER NOT SLAVER. . Rdgar Steraropinski of Walling- ford Discharged by Court. Haven, Aug. 28.—Rev. Edgar ot Wallingford, a Po- lish preacher, charged with transporting a young girl from west, was freed for lack of evidence in the United States court yesterday. That this charge was put against him 1o hold him while “spy” suspiclons were looked into,was the claim made in his defense. On the witness stand Teresa Wroblafski of South Bend, Ind., who, it is alleged, was brought here by the accused, testified that the latter sent for her to come to his home in Wallingford and sent her $20 for her first month's wages. She said she had been driven from home by her parents, and that was the cause of her coming east. She denled any wrong doing and the government case havinz failed, the accused was dis- charged.

MITCHEL T0 GAG Instructs Police Not to Permit Inciters to Speak Aug. 28—Mayor sterday Yorlk, Mitchel ¥ took action y looking toward the muzzling of soap box agitators of the type of Russell Dunne, the voung man who has been making street speeches in various parts of the city attacking the Jews. Dunne’s harangue was resented militiaman and a riot was averted. The mayor wrote a letter Commissioner Woods not only direct- ing him to instruct the police to make arrests for such that committed by Dunne, but also order- ing an investigation into the action of Police Sergt. O’'Connor in permit- ting Dunne to escape after his arrest had been ordered by Justice Leonard A. Snitkin of the municipal court. District Attorney Swann also began an inquiry into Dunne's offenses. In addition prominent Jews of the city made preliminary arrangements for a mass meeting to be held at the Young Men's Hebrew Association clubhouse, Lexington avenue and Ninety-second street, Thursday night, when steps will be taken in an in- quiry to determine what influence, if any, are behind Dunne in his cam- paign of religious agitation. Dunn has been posing as a repre- sentative of the Midday .but Francis Schmidt, vice president, speaking for the organization, em- phatically disclaimed any responsibil- ity for the young man’s utterances on religious or racial questions. Though the police permitted Dunne to escape Saturday afternoon Justice Snitkin saw tq it that he was arrested later, and Magistrate Francis X. Mc- | Quade held the speaker in $500 bail for trial tonight on a disorderly con- duct charge. Mayor Mitchel’s letter to Commissioner Woods follows: “Since writing you my letter con- cerning utterances by street speakers in violation of the law, my attention has been called to the fact that cer- tain speakers, notably Russell Dunne, | have been engaged In scurrilous and vituperative attacks upon people of the Jewish religion.

Minute Men, : MICHAELIS TO GET OUT? Georg Bernhard of Vossiche Zeitung Discusses Possibility of Change in office—Tageblatt Raps Government. Copenhagen, Aug. 28.- bility of another change chancellors in Germany iby Georg Bernhard in the Vossiche Zeitung. He says that it is plainly evident already that the appointment of a minor official like Dr. Michaelis without general political experience ! was a great n and that the re- <ults desired are not apt to be reached guickly under the leadership of the new administration. Parliament, he argues, must take the matter of in- ternal reforms and peace into its own hands. Herr Bernhard still hopes that Chancelior Michaelis will see the error of his ways and avoid the neces- sily for another change in the chancel- lership. Theodore Wolff of the Tageblatt dis- misses the new Bundesrath-Reichstag committee as a “nostrum designed to scothe the cry of the German people for popular control of the govern- ‘ment.” He attacks Dr. Michaelis’ rea- sons for side-tracking parliamentary reform until after the war and says that the truth is that parliamentarism is not desired just now because it would impose real control upon gov- !ernment and end the domination of ! secret influences. 1 in imperial is discussed Vise MARINE KILLED IN FRANCE. ‘Wahlstrém Dies After cycle Accident.
