EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Chiirles W. Galvin, 
president of C. W. Galvin & Co., stock 
brokers at 50 Broad Street. New York, 
and three other persons connected with 
this company, were arraigned Aug. 21 in 
General Sessions before Judge McIntyre 
on indictments charging all four with 
conspiracy, grand larceny and stock sell¬ 
ing on false representations. Indicted 
with Galvin were Irwin Bloom, secretary 
and business partner in the firm: Robert 
E. Bloom, one of its salesmen, and Leroy 
Smith, formerly a salesman for the com¬ 
pany. The indictments resulted from an 
investigation by Assistant District At¬ 
torney John T. Dooling into the activities 
of the establishment of C. W. Galvin & 
Co. in connection with the promotion and 
sale last June of -the stock of the Tex- 
York Producing Company, described to 
customers as a Texas corporation with a 
Capital of $3,000,000, issued, fully paid 
and non-assessable, and said to own val¬ 
uable leases of oil lands in Texas, with 
wells, some of which yielded upward of 
050 barrels a day. bringing in a daily 
revenue of at least $1,350. 
A Porto Rican youth who was em¬ 
ployed as an elevator operator at one of 
the big hotels in New York was taken to 
the Willard Parker Hospital Aug. 22 as 
a suspected leper. 
The town of Nitro, W. Va., a complete 
industrial community embracing 737 
manufacturing buildings, housing accomo¬ 
dations for 20,000 people and the utilities 
and civic improvements that constitute 
the conveniences of a city, is to be sold 
by the War Department. Built by the 
Government at a cost of approximately 
$70,000,000, Nitro is the site of the sec¬ 
ond largest smokeless powder plant in 
the world. The industrial community of 
Nitro, containing the plants needed to 
produce powder, stretches for more than 
four miles along the east hank of the 
Kanawha River. 
Two cars were wrecked, a score of per¬ 
sons injured and twice as many arrested 
at Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 25, in rioting 
which followed efforts of receivers of the 
Pittsburg Railways Company to break 
the car men’s strike, which has tied up 
trolley transportation for 11 days. 
Col. Charles C. Weybrecht. who re¬ 
turned only three weeks ago from France, 
where lie commanded the 140th Infantry, 
died at Alliance, O.. Aug. 20. as a result 
physicians believe, of eating cold storage 
turkey at a dinner Aug. 23 at the Lake¬ 
side Country Club, Canton. Among other 
persons partaking of the dinner, one is 
dead, two paralyzed and likely to die, and 
six seriously ill. 
Three American Army aviators were 
first in the New-York-Toronto air flight 
Aug. 20. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The New 
England Fruit Show will be held this 
year with the Rhode Island Fruit Grow¬ 
ers’ Association at the Elks’ Auditorium, 
Providence. R. I., Nov. 10-13, instead of 
being at Hartford, Conn., as originally 
arranged. The Rhode Island orehardists 
will try hard to make it the best fruit 
show ever held in New England. 
One hundred Australian soldiers, 
chosen for an agricultural course at the 
University of California, arrived here 
Aug. 20. on route to Berkeley. They 
will have 12 months of field and labora¬ 
tory work. 
Publicity regarding retail food prices 
and stocks of food in storage would tend 
to reduce high prices, the House Appro¬ 
priations Committee was told Aug. 25 by 
officials of the Department of Agriculture, 
who urged an appropriation of $50,000 
for that purpose. Present high prices 
were said by Herbert C. Marshall of the 
Market Bureau to he the result of in¬ 
flated currency, with waste and profiteer¬ 
ing contributing causes. Information re¬ 
garding supplies of fruits, vegetables, 
dairy and poultry products, meats, fish 
and other food products on city markets 
would, he said, tend to stabilize the mar¬ 
ket, prevent loss and result in more 
money for the producer, with cheaper 
prices to consumers. 
.Tames R. Riggs of Sullivan. Tnd., was 
nominated Aug. 26 by the President as 
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. 
WASHINGTON.—Efforts of railroad 
employees throughout the country to in¬ 
crease railroad wages generally met with 
an abrupt halt Aug. 25 when President 
Wilson took a determined stand against 
general increases at this time. In acting 
upon the demands of the six national 
unions of railroad shopmen, involving in¬ 
creases approximating $165,040,000 a 
year, the President issued two direct ap¬ 
peals, one to the workmen involved and 
another to the American people, to keep 
a cool head and a steady hand in a time 
of national crisis and peril. Increases 
of four cents an hour arc granted to the 
shopmen for all crafts with the exception 
of car repairers and car inspectors, some 
<»f whom are increased nine cents an hour. 
The demands were for increases ranging 
from 17 to 27 cents an hour. 
To obviate possible retaliation by for¬ 
eign governments should oil land leasing 
legislation discriminating against aliens 
he enacted, the Senate Aug. 22, without 
a record vote, adopted the Smoot amend¬ 
ment modifying the leasing hill to permit 
aliens to obtain leases to Government 
lands under restrictions. The amend¬ 
ment provides that no alien shall own 
any interest in a lease acquired tinder 
the leasing hill except with a provision 
authorizing the President, in his discre¬ 
tion, to take over and operate the lease, 
paying just compensation to the owner 
for the use of tools,, appliances, maehipery 
and for the products. The Secretary of 
the Interior also might require the sale 
for consumption in the United States of 
any portion of the products of any leased 
property in which any alien has an in¬ 
terest by stock ownership or otherwise. 
England, alone of the great European 
nations, has declined, for the present at 
least, to remove restrictions on admission 
of persons under foreign passports im¬ 
posed during the war for the purpose of 
excluding political agitators, persons of 
doubtful loyalty and other undesirables. 
This was developed by inquiry as to why 
Great Britain was not included in the list 
of countries to which the State Depart¬ 
ment has announced passports will be 
granted on pre-war conditions after Sep¬ 
tember 15. 
The army’s surplus supply of house¬ 
hold necessaries, including large stocks of 
socks, underwear, shirts, raincoats, blan¬ 
kets, gloves, tobacco, soap and other com¬ 
modities, are to be sold direct to the 
American people through a system of re¬ 
tail stores to be established by the War 
Department, Assistant Director of Sales 
Morse announced Aug. 26. The new 
system of distribution will be inaugurated 
Sept. 25.
