Two FREE SPEECH IS URGED BY ORANGE INSTITUTION Tires of "Affinity" TRADE EXCURSION FOR OLD HOME WEEK Victims of Hay Fever Seek Sneezeless Land STORAGE LAIV IS HARDSHIP DEALERS SAY FINED FOR MAKING SPEECHES. Five men and a woman. Identified with the Industrial Workers of the World, were arraigned before Magistrate W. D. Mansfield in McKeesport yesterday anl sentenced to pay fines of $15 each on charges ot disorderly conduct and violating ctty ordinances.

They refused pay their fines and were sent to the workhouse for 30 days. They were accused of malting speeches on a vacant lot. without having obtained permits from th- mayor. Belo. the Muskoka lakes in Canada and Bethlehem.

N. 11., which until recently held first place on the medical map as the sneezeless town. Hilltops in Northwestern Pennsylvania also arc coming much in favor recently. This year sufferers say the curse is i vvC1- Point Out Defects That Will Benefit Out-of-Town Competitors. GOES IN EFFECT TOMORROW Wkeu the cold storage act goes Into effect tomorrow morning in Pennsylvania there will be no enthusiastic reception for It in Pittsburgh.

Retail dealers in foodstuffs generally have not provided rubber stamps Tor marking storage goods and wholesale dealers are expressing their displeasure with the law. From Philadelphia comes word that injunctions against State Dairy and Food Commissioner James Foust are being planned as It is alleged his rules and regulations are arbitrary and in violation of the state constitution. Pittsburgh dealers alo say that Commissioner Foust has no right to make the law retroactive. They point out that the electrocution law passed by the same Legislature cannot be applied to cases previous to its passage, and in Hke manner food stored before the storage law need not be marked to comply with it. About the market house yesterday dealers were apathetic- "After a while." many said, "everything will come around to comply with the law, as the law is the law, and there is no intention of violating it." But there was no rush to arrange food products so that they will pass inspection tomorrow.

DEALERS COMPLAIN. Wholesale dealers expressed themselves forcibly yesterday about the value of the law. Several declared that the result will be that out-of-town storage firms will profit. They point out that eggs and butter will be brought in refrigerator cars from the West, and huckstered as strictly fresh food. The invoice will say that.

The dealers buying will then be abla to use the signs "Strictly fresh eggs" ovr such eggs, although they have been In storage many months. On the other hand eggs stored in Pittsburgh will be sold with every case bearing the month, day and year when stored. Tha new law permits eggs to be kept in storage only eight months. Egg merchants say this is an outrage. Eggs do not begin to deteriorate until after 10 months," said a dealer.

"Then what takes place is that the egg shrinks up, but it does not spoil. We went to Uarrisburg and asked that eggs be permitted 10 months in storage, but this amendment was pigeonholed in the House. PREFER OLD PLAN. "Under the old plan we sold April eggs in December and January, when the hens were not laying. Of course we can sell June or July eggs in these months, but the old plan was to keep the AP'il eggs for the egg famine months because April eggs are best.

Now we will not be able to do so but the refrigerator interests will come in with their eggs which have been in storage for no one knows how long and sell them as strictly fresh eggs. "We here are in favor of a national storage law which will give everyone the same opportunity. The present law works a hardship on Pennsylvania. Outside interests lobbied in Harrieburg for the present storage law, and passed U. The rules and regulations issued by Foust are arbitrary.

They give him czar-like power in food matters in Pennsylvania. He can appoint 10,000 deputies to enforce the law. The regulations are in places contradictory, and Philadelphia dealers are taking up the matter in the courts. "One thing Is certain; the cost of employing clerks to do the checking and marking will eventually go on the ultimate consumer and prlcee for foodstuffs will rise as a result."

This is merely the manner in which a hay fever victim greets another in the Pittsburgh streets these days, and inquires if he is going to the convention of the United States Hay Fever Association in this month. There are "do dasai souds" in the speech of the sneezer. The association is progressing wonderfully. Wiiiiam M. Patterson of Brooklyn, who sneezed his way up to the vice presidency, is going about organizing other sneezers in an effort to make this year's meeting the greatest.

LABOR UNION FRICTION CAUSES MEN TO STRIKE Operations on Three Buildings Cease and More Trouble Threatened. Because the Master Builders" Association refused to sign a scale calling for an increase of 3 cents an hour, and calling for one and one-half time for overtime and Sunday work, the laborers working on the new department store at Sixth avenue and Smlthfield street, according to the Master Builders' Association, struck Monday.

By 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon building operations had ceased, structural iron workers, hoisting engineers, electricians, plumbers, fitters and carpenters going out in sympathy -with the laborers. Shortly after the men had begun work Monday morning word was received by the workmen that the association had refused to sign the scale. The laborers dropped their tools. The mechanics decided to go out also. Several large steel beams, which were being hoisted to one of the upper floors, were left hanging above Sixth avenue, blockading traffic nearly an hour.

The contractors were ordered to have the beams removed. They succeeded in finding men to lower the beams to one side of the street. Mechanics and some laborers employed in remodeling a store at Fifth avenue and Smithfield street, quit work yesterday when they learned of the strike. The workmen on the Bash building. Fifth avenue and Market street, also suspended operations.

According to leaders in the strike move, ment, building operations in Pittsburgh may be placed entirely at a standstill today, with 10,000 building trade workmen idie! "If the Builders Exchange League locks out building trades workmen on some jobs in Pittsburgh, you may be sure all building operations in Pittsburgh will cease." said T. J. Williams, president of the Pittsburgh Building Trades Council, last night.

An Inbound trade excursion, which, it is expected, will bring $50,000 to Pittsburgh firms, will be held in AUegheny county old home week, Sptember 21 to 27, it was decided yesterday at the meeting of the committee on trade extension of the Chamber of Commerce.

It will be the tenth inbound excursion held by the local business men and It Is thought will bring a greater number of buyers from Western Pennsylvania than any of the previous affairs, as the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the county will be in lull swing. The out-of-town merchants who take advantage of the excursion will be. afforded an opportunity to observe the celebration at less expense. According to 'the plans of the committee, the amount of an out-of-town buyer's railroad fare will be refunded if it is not in excess of 1 per cent of the amount ot his purchases. Thewnoney will be refunded on the excursionists' registering with the Chamber of Commerce and filing a statement of his purchases.

Additional inducements to those of former years probably will be offered, tlie plan being to give the excursionists admission to Forbes Field, the Western Pennsylvania exposition and different social organizations. The Pittsburgh business houses will advertise the excursion extensively in 600 papers published within a radius of 200 miles of the city, besides sending out more than 100,000 personal invitations. In speaking of the excursion, Chairman H. W. Xeely said: "The plan of having the inbound excursion the week of, the county celebration in Pittsburgh seems to be a good one.

This feature should induce many more merchants to come to Pittsburgh than ever before." "FROM MANGER TO CROSS" IS VISUALIZED SERMON Moving Pictures Made in Holy Land Illustrate Story of Bethlehem and Tragedy of Calvary. The Liberty Theater opened its season yesterday with the presentation, under the personal direction of Harry F. Grelia of the pictorial story of the life of Jesus, "From the Manger to the Cross." This motion picture narrative of the sorrows of the Savior is given with a vivid realism that leaves an impression on the mind that can be got from no amount of reading. The camera in this performance has furnished the Christian world with a colored picture portrayal of the life of Christ from the time of his birth In a manger in Bethlehem through all the successive episodes In His career until He dies on the cross at Calvary. The tragic climax gives the spectator a lasting impression and a wholly new conception of the divine sacrifice of the redemption.

Nothing of the kind ever was essayed, and before the pictures were shown for the first time in New Tork recently there was a disposition on the part of the clergy to question the propriety of reproducing, with the modern moving picture, the life of the Savior. But the pictures, all made in the Holy Land and with a faithful fidelity to biblical history and wih a reverence for the subject that admits of no criticism, established this production solidly with the clergy. Ministers, priests, churchmen in all walks proclaim "From Manger to Cross" a visualized sermon that not only is beautiful to the eye, but Is of an inspirational force that will be felt in very community in which the films are shown. It is said the producing company spent $100,000 to make the five reels of pictures. This can easily be believed when one sees the remarkable series of pictures and knows that it required the presence of a company of trained American actors five months in the Holy Land in addition to the erection of costly structures, exact replicas of the buildings in which the original scenes were enacted.

WHITE WOMAN'S DEATH ATTRIBUTED TO NEGRO Coroner Holds Black on Murder Charge to Await Finding In Inquest. Coroner Samuel C. Jamison shortly before noon yesterday formally charged Levi Woods, negro, with murder, and committed him to jail to await the result of the inquest into the death of Kath-erine Straiuthers, a white woman, who died in Mercy Hospital Monday morning following burns received August 2. According to information in the possession of the coroner the woman came from Virginia and had been living with Woods four years. The woman had been drinking heavily of late and recently acquired a taste forcigarete.

Woods, it is said, frequently fought with the woman as a result of her smoking. On the night of August 2, it is alleged, the man and woman quarreled when the woman smoked a cigaret. She was taken to the hospital, badly burned about the body. It is alleged that Woods was heard to have remarked, following the quarrel, "I'll make a cigaret out of you." It is then alleged that he struck a match and lighted the dress of the Strauthers woman. Woods had nothing to say when told that he was charged with murder.

Dr. Charles B. Schildecker held a post mortem examination and found that death was due to pneumonia, following burns. PROSECUTION QUITS IN LUMBER ARSON CASE It Is Also Expected That Contempt Charges Against Newspapermen Will Be Withdrawn. SPECIAL TO THE POST CUMBERLAND, Aug.

12. There was a complete surrender by the attorneys for the state in all the arson cases in the circuit court here today when the state moved to dismiss the indictments against William C. Bond, millionaire lumberman of West Virginia: Jack Cramer, his superintendent, and Jesse Cross and Bren Sisler, other employes. The cases had been transferred to Mineral county on change of venue. The first case, against Cramer, resulted in a verdict of not guilty.

The attorneys for the defendants were in court this evening ready to proceed. Prosecuting Attorney Pratt of Tucker county arose and announced that owing to the fact that in the first case an acquittal verdict was secured, and also that the evidence in the remaining cases wu no stronger than In the first, he desired a dismissal of all the cases so as to save both the state and the defendants the heavy exiiense of trial. Tonight telegrams of congratulation began to pour in upon Mr. Bond and his family. It is said to have been because the newspaper correspondents forecasted the result as shown this afternoon that the attorneys for the state asked the court to cite them for contempt, and secured their temporary banishment from the state.

Their hearing on the contempt charges, continued until Thursday, will also likely be dismissed without not so heavy as usual. The ragweed, which usually blooms in prolusion about Pittsburgh hills, and the national flower, the golden rod. are not as numerous, and sneezing is less indulged in.

Divorce proceedings are to be instituted in New York at once against Ferdinand Finney Karle, the artist, famed for hie notable love affairs. Earle's third and latest wife, whom he married In 1911, is the petitioner in this latest case. The present Mrs. Earle was Hflen Theodora Sidford, daughter of an English architect, from whom she inherited her artistic temperament and talent. She is 25 yeans old and very attractive.

According to the story which first gained currency, Earle and Miss Sidford were married after a short but ardent courtship. "I knew nothing of past until after our marriage," said Mrs. Earle. "Whatever his reputation in America, I had lived in a quiet English town and I had never heard of his antecedents. After our marriage his life story was cabled from America to the London newspapers.

Clippings were sent to me on the continent on our honeymoon by my mother." Mrs. Earle declined to name the corespondent in the case, but declared that she had ample ground upon which to base her petition. NEW YORK. Aug. 12.

City Controller E.

S. Morrow is considering the advisability of offering small parcels some odds and ends of municipal bond issues which have been authorised during the past few months and which will have to be 6old soon. These bonds are for the most part made up of the unsold portion of playgrounds issues and total about $140,000. Some years ago the city attempted to sell certain bond Issues directly to small purchasers, but the plan at that time did not meet with much success. If it tried again registered bonds will be sold in denominations of from $100 up and coupon bonds In denominations of Sm and J1.00O.

All of them will bear 4i per cent interest and will be tax free in Pennsylvania. The object of asking for piecemeal bids from whomever may choose to buy, and In whatever quantity they may elect, is to induce local people and the small business men to invest in the city's securities. Another reason is that there has been a demand for money all over the country and the mur'clpal uonei market is satisfied for the present. fTie controller has not yet decided that he will adopt the piecemeal sale plan for the few remaining bonds and he will consult the finance committee of council before he takes any artion regarding the sale of the YOURSELF valuables in a safe deposit vault and be over their safety.

Where Ignorance is NOT Bliss Suppose you could run back over every purchase cf every kind you have made In the rast twelve months. Suppose you could classify them and analyze them just as the purchasing departments of big business concerns do.

Do you rot think that you would check up many a purchase made unwisely, many an Item that costs too much, and here and there some article bought that wasn't at all what you thought you were baying? Family expenditure and personal expenditures, of course, aren't made with anything like the accuracy or system that would mark the purchases of a well organized business. But this very fact ought to Impress upon -rrery family, every individual, the necessity of closer attention to their annual expenditures. In this matter the newspaper is one's best friend. The advertising columns point the way to economy and satisfaction. Where ignorance Is not bliss, it Is better to be wise.
