DISPUTE. Goes to Attorney General for a Test The whole question of how best to settle the dispute a* to what Is the legal fare to Coney Island is to be laid before the attorney general at Albany today, and It will then be decided whether a man damus proceeding Is the shortest way to settle the difficulty. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit officials agreed to this yesterday, though of the opinion that the procedure was erroneous. ... , . There were few ejections yesterday and few arrests. The public, apparently accepted Justice Gaynor's construction of his own decision and refrained from ques tioning the right of the company to charge two fares. Only .one car was sidetracked In the evening, and the police and railroad men believe that all trouble will cease when the rebate checks suggested by Acting Mayor McGowan are ready. They will be Issued either today or to morrow and will be issued to all "protest ing" passengers, according to the com pany, although Mr. Coler's attorney wants them given to all who pay the second fare, no matter whether they protest or not. Mr. McGowan issued a proclamation aur lne the day calling on the public to refrain from lawlessness. In an Interview accom panying the proclamation he said that. In his opinion. Bird S. Coler was lacking '"ab investigation Into the death of Sa die Rodanski, whose body was found In Coney Island creek, was begun yesterday by Assistant District Attorney Peter P. Smith of Kings county. After examining several witnesses. Mr. Smith said he had sufficient evidence on which to ask the grand jury to indict a motorman on a charge of manslaughter In the second de gree for having driven his car across the trestle at high speed, despite the fact that several women were trying t6 cross the strycture. The women were all swept Into the water. , . . Several hundred persons who Intend i bringing suit against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for ejecting them from cars in the early part tit the week will have great difficulty, when the time comes, in identifying the particular em Dloye or employes who took part In the election, for the reason that the company is changing the numbers of all Its men and transferring many of them from one line to another. But no matter what speed marks the progress of the legal fight, the season at Coney Island will be over before the l>olnt Is finally determined. Even Stephen C. Baldwin. Mr. Coler's attorney, acknowl edged yesterday that It would be late tn October at the earliest before the court of appeals handed down a decision. Mean while the railroad company wlU Issue the rebate checks suggested by Acting Mayor McGowan. Whether these checks, good for 5 cents. If the company loses Its case, will be Issued to all passengers or only to those who demand them Is still a question. Wadding in Bladensburg. Special Correspondence of The Star. HTATTSVILLE. Md..

A report was made on the subject of edu cation by Rev. V. H. Council of Warrenton, Va., which was responded to in an address by Prof. S. C. Mitchell of Richmond. Va. Prof. Mitchell is connectcd with Richmond College, which institution he stated was national in its scope and alms and plans, and while strictly a Baptist school was very conservative and liberal in its religious teaching and tendency. He said he was a warm friend of the public school system and also a diligent student of methods pur sued by other institutions. A statement was made by Rev. J. E. Bai ley of Herndon in behalf of Fork Mission Academy In Fluvanna county, Va. A report was made on the state mission work of Virginia by Rev. W. E. Fisher of Alexandria. Addresses were made by Rev. W. C. Ways and C. E. Stuart, both state evangelists. The great need was shown to be a church building fund. It was stated by one of the speakers that in certain por tions of the state it was not possible to get any sort of place, not even a school house, in which to hold service. The need of special work in Alexandria county was shown by Rev. A. W. Graves, who also gave a brief sketch of the work done in closing the saloons in the said county. DOG FOUND LOST GIBES. Led Searchers to Spot Where Children Had Fallen Asleep. A story has reached Washington, N. J., about two little girls, one twelve years old and the other six, who were lost in the wilds of the Blue mountains in Knowlton township, In the upper part of Warren county. The youngest girl was Paarl Llndaberry, a daughter of Palmer Llndaberry, a farmer. The other was Cassie Angle, who lives with the Llndaberry family. The two girls start ed from the house about 5 o'clock Wednes day morning tor bring the cows in from pasture. One of the cows had escaped into the woods and In trying to find It the girls had lost their way. They became be wildered, and it was not long before they were in the heart of the forest at the foot of the mountains. The little Llndaberry girl was barefooted and soon her feet began to bleed. The older girl then took oft her own shoes and stockings and put' them upon the feet of her companion. The girls wandered through the forest until well on toward midnight, when they became exhausted and fell asleep at the foot of a tree. The mountains are Infested with rattlesnakes, but they slept unmindful of danger. When the girls did not return at dusk the family became alarmed, and the neigh bors were summoned to aid In a search. The shepherd dog owned by the Lindaberry family went'' with the searchers. About 2 o'clock he came barking to the party of men and led them to the place where the two girls were asleep. The feet of the elder girl, who had given her shoes to her companion, were so badly cut that she had to be carried, as she could not bear her weight upon them. GIRL DBOWNED FBOM LAUNCH. Tragic Event for an Outing- Party Near Baltimore. While with an outing party in a launch about 10:45 o'clock Wednesday night Miss Ethel Amos, the seventeen-year-old daugh ter of Mr. Wilbur L. Amps of Baltimore, was drowned off River View on the Pa tuxent river. No one saw the young woman at the time she fell overboard, and she was not missed for several minutes, as the members of the party, with the exception of the man at the wheel In the pilot house, had retired to the cabin, the women to get their wraps and the men to work on the engine. As soon as It was learned yiat Miss Amos had fallen overiboard a systematic search was begun, which was later abandoned as useless, owing to the darkness. The Can ton police were then notified by the men In the party about 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing, and all day yesterday the bottom of the river about the place where the young wcntian fell over was dragged, but to no avail. LONOWOBTH SELECTED. Becomes Secretary of International Policy Holders' Committee. . Nicholas Longworth, President Roose velt's son-in-law,' was elected secretary of the International Policy Holders' Commtt tee yesterday at the meeting of the ex ecutive committee of that body, held In New York city. Mr. Longworth's duties, It is understood, wiU be largely honorary. Mr. Scrugham of Cincinnati, the organisation manager, was requested to employ a clerk i to perform the current duties of the office vacated recently by Seymour Eaton. Some headway was made in the selection of tickets for trustees of the Mutual and New York Life, and late in the afternoon there was a further conference with repre sentatives of the Mutual Life Policy Hold ers' Association, hi the course of %Mch the Untermyer and Bowles organisations made progress In the selection of a fusion ticket the selection of which is now practically assured. In the case of the Mutual the thousands of circulars sent out by these two com mittees soliciting subscriptions have caused much confusion In tfe minds of policy holders, scares of whom appeal to the Mutual home offlc* daily asking whether they are obliged to pay the sums asked for ^ "In .addltlo* to their premiums." To the, Man Who Appropriates $1,000 Annually for Advertising A great many of Lord & Thomas9 most successful clients began their advertising with appropriations of a thousand dollars and even less. i THE Lord & Thomas Agency has grown to be the largest advertis ing agency in America through the successful development of small advertisers. Today our volume of business ? $4,000,000.00 per year?represents the appropriations of nearly 700 clients, so the average appropriation is less than $5,000.00 per year. Some of our clients who started with small appropriations are now placing over $100,000.00 yearly with us, and their businesses have grown and are continuing to grow in proportion. The great majority of our clients are now appropriating less than $3,000.00 per year. Our future growth depends upon the development of these $3,000.00 a-year advertisers into the $100,000.00-a year class. We want an opportunity to show you how YOU can start advertising with a small appropriation and get into the $100,000.00-a-year class. The small investor always is in greatest need of protection for his investment. We realize that the $1,000 appropriation of the beginner means more to him than the $100,000.00 appro priation of the older advertiser. We govern ourselves accordingly. We want to tell you how we safe-guard your advertising appropriation by basing your investment on the only trustworthy guide In advertising ? the Lord & Thomas Record of Results. Our exclusive Record of Results is the classified, indexed tabulation of actual results from hundreds of small and large advertising campaigns. This record is interpreted, and the posi tive knowledge gained thereby is applied to your business by the ablest and highest salaried corps of advertising men in America. That is why we can and do develop small advertisers, because we elimi nate practically all of the waste in advertising due to the use of wrong copy and wrong media. We want to explain to you, in person, the detailed workings of the Lord & Thomas Record of Results and just how our organization can apply what it teaches to your business. We want to explain to you why we are particularly anxious for small accounts and how we are peculiarly organized to develop them with the greatest care. One of our representatives is in your city every few days looking after the interests of some of our present clients. That is why we are advertising in this newspaper?to you?NOW. A letter granting us an interview in your office will not obligate you in any way. ? We are issuing a series of small books (cloth bound) covering advertising in all its phases, which we send free to interested advertisers.
