CHANGES IN PLANT LIFE.
Or. COulter's Botanical Lecture-Trans-
formation from Death to Life.

In his botanical lecture, yesterday morn
ing, DR.. Coulter dealt with the inner life
or the plant, especially the matabolism, or
chemical change. He said the changes were
OF two kinds, constructive and destructive,

structive work is the making of cellulose.

teids &C. III. o. NJ
After giving the discoveries Of several
botanists in the last century he told how
Sachs, a German botanist, was led 10 in
vestigate the work Of chlorophylI. He
found starch was present in the chlorophyIl
only when tbs latter was exposed to light;
that the formation of starch, depending
upon the same conditions as the decompO-
sition of c. o.. must be closely connected
with this decomposition; and that the in
crease of weight in the plant was due to
the formation of organic material. Starch
is the first visible product, but other prod
ucts are formed before il. Some botanists
think simple substances are formed; these
become more complex until protoplasm is
the result. Then the prOtOplaSm, breaking
up. gives rise to degraded products, starch

The formation of proteids means the
little Is known about it. Proteids are made
IN every living plant cell. They are made
best i'm the leaves. All we know is that
the carbohydrates and nitrogen furnish the
material for proteid compounds. The func-
ton OF chlorophyll is apparently to change
Inorganic internal into organic. Chlorophyll
bodies are nothing but protOplasmic bodies
colored with "A green stain II an alcoholic
pollution of chlorOphyll is made and the
light is allowed To pass through, when
looked at through the spectrum dark bands
are seen at regular intervals. LOunnels
and Pringshim'S theories concerning this
fact were given, and the lecture was closed
with some interesting facts about the con-
structive capacities of plants and animals.

ion Of Organic substitutes"

VIII Put On Citizens Clothes Again.

superintendent Powell has ordered one
half OF the night force to report for duty
i'm citizens clothes. His reason for so or
dering this is that the number of thefts
has greatly increased within the last few
days. For the time that this order was i'm
vogue some time ago, such thefts were rare
and not OF much consequence, but with the
donning OF the uniform of the entire night
force the thefts at once increased.

be would make no statement until after
a visit to the General Managers.
1t was generally understood, however,
that the conference of the Federation OF
Labor gave no promise of material aid in
settling the strike, and that, with the as
surances from Washington that Govern
ment arbitration would be enforced, was
the cause of the unexpected action OF the
strike managers.
General Master Workman Sovereign
at 10 o'clock said: Papers to call the
strike OFT were drawn up yesterday.
They contained two provisions: First,
that there shall be arbitration, and, Sec
ond, that all striking employees, except
those charged with crime, shall be taken
back by the employers. AS arbitration
has been secured, and thus q great VIC
tory obtained, Debs done just right. AS
soon as l see him / shall issue an order
calling off the Knights of Labor strike"
The General Managers refused to hold
conference with Debs.
Debs made statement to reporter
that the strike has been declared off, add
Ing, under certain conditionS.o
In the haste and confusion the reporter
did not catch the last words.
As the General Managers Association
refused to treat with Debs, a meeting of
the Executive Board of the American
Railway Union will now be held to de-
eide upon the course OF action.
Mr.. Egan said informally: 1.-The Gen.
eral Managers will under no circumstances
have conference with Debs on any SUBJ
ject. They will retain in their employ
The men who filled the strikers places
and are competent"
Mr.. st. John said: ''The proposition
will not be considered by the General
Managers before their regular meeting
tomorrow, if" he said Significantly, ''it
will be considered at all.
General Master Workman Sovereign
says the Presidents decision to appoint
arbitrators in the Pullman case is great
victory for the Knights of Labor. In his
opinion the fight is as good as won.

coNTEMpr OF COURT.
Decision of Judge Taft In the Case of
+. w. Phelau.

CINCINNATI, July 13.-Judge Taft of
the United States Court delivered his de-
cision in the case OF +. w. Phelan,
charged with contempt of this court, in
impeding the Receiver Of the Cincinnati
Southern road, appointed by this court,
in the management and operation of his
road, by directing and melting the en-
ployes to leave his employ, and by inter-
tering with the business of other roads
with which the Southern road does busi-
ness. The courtroom was crowded, and
large numbers were in the corridors.
Many Deputy Marshals were in and about
the courtroom, but their presence was
not needed, as the utmost decorum was
observed. The Judge reviewed at great
length the testimony, which he declared
showed Enthusiastically that Phelan came
here as the agent of and o-worker with
DebS to institute and direct q boycott, In
order to compel the Pullman Car Com
pany to treat with its employees, who, it
appears, are not eligible to membership
in the American Railway Union.
Phelan's denial OF personal agency had
no weight with the court, owing to the
evasive and fiippant nature of his testi-
mony, and in the face of teiegrams pass
ing between him and Debs, as we'll as his
public utteranceS- lie knew the Cincin-
natl Southern road was in the hands OF
receiver, and yet his first efforts were
directed against it. The court found that
he was the active agent here of an unlaw-
ful conspiracy with Debs and others to
paralyze the business OF the United States,
or, in other words, to starve the nation
in order to force employers into terms.
Applying the law to the facts, the
court held that to undertake to force
breach of contract was an unlawful con-
spiracy. Moreover, the whole plan was
a boycott, which has been declared by all
States except Minnesota to be unlawful.
The court plainly recognized the right OF
laborers to unite, and even combine their
forces for the purpose of obtaining bet
ter price for their labor. They were war
ranted in striking, that is, leaving their
employers in a body to better their own
interests, but there was no warrant in
law for a boycott.
The Judge having found Phelan guilty
as charged, said, in reference to the sem
tence, that it was the duty of the court to
enforce obedience to its orders. To do
otherwise would court anarchy. The
penalty for contempt after warning
should be sufficient TO enforce compliance
with the orders of the court. The sem
tence was confinement for six months in
the Warren County Jail at Lebanon, o.,
and the Marshal was directed to imme-
diately execute the order of the court.

and the vacancies of those who did would
be filled by non-unionists. l believe
that the condition of the country is such
that general strike would not win. /
don't want the reputation of having our
Federation lose. / am opposed to the
resolution
Mr.. Garland of the. Iron and Steel
Workers. said: "We are unable to form
an effective organization as long as the
Pullman car shops were working on
wages which they were, and not until
this American Railway Union strike
have we been able to do anything. In our
organizations we have had and still have
great strikes, both in sympathy and
grievances. / am opposed to general
strike now, because we have now GER
tain scale of wages adopted by arbitra-
ton, and if we strike that scale of
wages will be broken, and at this time of
financial depression l believe that it
would be impossible to get as good scale
OF wages as we have now, and therefore
general strike would be detrimental to
orr men. l am not in favor of Debs' re-
quest. He was very arrogant in the
start. not even recognizing us, and now
he wants to shift all the responsibility Off
on us and blame us for losing the strike.
Another thing, the Knights of Labor are
in favor Of a council. and not of mon
archial rule, as Debs favors. This coun-
try will not stand that kind of thing. 1
don't care how smart he is, he cannot
L al Il
workers, but J. can see no favorable re-
suits, and therefore 1 oppose the resolu-
tion."
Mr.. Evans then said: 'tIf the Local
Organizer of the American Federation of
Labor had attended to his business the
American Railway Union would never
have handled this strike. 1 am opposed
to the resolution and any action in that
regard now."
Patrick Mcbride, representing the coal
miners, said: ''If strike is ordered,
let it be for ourselves; and not for Debs.
He has not managed this thing right and
now he wants help, and l am not in IA
vor of doing it. A general strike order
by this conference in sympathy with the
American Railway Union would be of
no value to US, and it would break our
contract, change the present arbitrated
scale of wages and be of a general dIsad-
vantage to US. While l can call out the
miners, l am not in favor of it, and think
it very poor policy. l am opposed to
bringing in any other organization into
this strike. AS Debs has started it, let
him finish it."

announced this morning that he would
give the Federal Grand Jury supple
mental instructions to-day, directing the
investigation of the railway managers.
The Judge called the jurors before him,
and instructed them that if evidence is
presented that the railway managers
agreed to have the mails or Interstate
commerce stopped, they are guilty of con-
spiracy.
After hearing statement from the fore
man the jurors decided to adjourn until
Tuesday, in order to return to their
homes for Sunday. In giving his consent
the court said. sit is my duty TO give
you further instructions. No man is
above the law. The line of criminality is
not drawn between those who violate the
law and those who don't. The fact that a
man occupies lower position does not
preclude him from making known his
grievances. Your door ought to be open
TO all VINO may come with evidence that
is tangible. and not based upon mere
hearsay. 1t is stated in the public prints
that some of our fellow citizens believed
the interference with the mails and inter-
state commerce was the result of con-
spiracy among men higher in the roads
than employees. If two or more men
wrongfully agreed, either for the purpose
of creating public sympathy or for any
other purpose. to have the mails or inter
state commerce stopped, they are guilty
of conspiracy. Ii two or more men
agreed wrongfully among themselves,
for the purpose Of creating public
sympathy, to discharge men, in
tending that their discharge would
stop the passage of the mails
or interstate commerce, they are guilty
of conspiracy. If two or more men
wrongfully agreed not to employ men to
take the places of men who had quit
work and allowed the trains to stand
still in order to create public sympathy,
they would be guilty of conspiracy unless
the circumstances were such that the en-
ployment of new men would lead to dam
ger to those men or to the public inter-
ests. Every man is entitled to bring his
complaint in if he brings it with tangible
evidence. 1t is the duty as well as the
pleasure of the District Attorney to sub
nit such evidence to you it is presented,
and it is your duty to hear it,"
1t is probable that the Grand Jury will
send for the kilograms sent and received
by the managers during the strike, as
was done with the kilograms of Debs and
the other leaders of the strike. The
Grand Jury adjourned until Tuesday
morning, and the investigation of the
railways may not begin until next week.

Joint NJ Getting OF the Two Orders Held
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July ia joint meeting of
the Executive Boards of the American
Railway Union and the Knights of Labor
was held at Ulrich's Hall at 5 P. NJ. to-
day to consider the treatment which the
Railway Unions proposition to the Gen.
eral Managers Association received
earlier in the day. An informal discus
sion was followed by an adjournment
until 10 O'Clock tomorrow. The feeling
against the General Managers was very
bitter. but the conclusion was to wait
until the General Managers had acted on
the proposition before taking any further
action themselves.
The Knights of Labor representatives
at the meeting were in full accord with
the American Railway Union and agreed
TO stand by the union to the last.
- = President Debs said at the close of the
meeting that the American Railway
Union had made it's last overtures to the
General Managers. 1t had gone more
than halfway. Ii the present proposition
was ignored or rejected, the strike would
be renewed with greater force, and con-
tinued until the railway people gave in.
The people had been appealing to the
Railway Union TO stop the strike; here
after they must appeal to the Railway
Managers. The burden of further trouble
and loss of business must rest on their
shoulders.
Mr.. Debs added there had been no re-
Taxation of the strike. 1t is on in force,
and would remain so until an affirmative
answer came from the General Managers.
Ii such an answer were received, the
strike would end in twenty minutes. He
intimated that the union had reserve
forces which it could call into action, and
that they would be felt in their full
strength if necessary. He said labor
unions were waiting patiently to be called
upon to join in a sympathetic strike, and
declared that twelve or fifteen were to-
day induced to wait until an answer had
been received from the General Manaoers

EOeai'eg Post that last evening he, Debs
and Sovereign held long conference
over the proposition to be submitted to
the General Managers Association to-
| day.
! 1t was agreed that in case the railway
managers should refuse to reinstate all
the striking employees who were free
from criminal charges, then GoInpers
| should call out all the members of the
National Federation of Labor throughout
the United States.
The General Managers Association adj

sition, arrived at railway headquarters,
! st. Johns was the only manager present.
| The Mayor left written proposition and
returned to his Office
! The proposition will be formally con-
sidered by a special meeting of the Cen
eral Managers summoned for the pur-
pose.
After Mayor Hopkins told Debs the re-
suit of his visit-to the General Managers
headquarters. Debs said that the strike
was not of, and he would report the re-
suit of the Mayors visit TO the General
Managers to meeting of the Executive
Board of the American Railway Union
| this afternoon.
| Mayor Hopkins said, regarding the
| proposition made to the General Mana
gers: ut is extremely liberal, | think
Debs does not ask the men to be taken
back as members of the American Rail
way Union, but that they be treated with
| as individuals. There is no question
OF the recognition OF the Union in

P. j. Mcclure, Secretary of the Miners

had refused from the beginning to order
their men out, and had notified Debs that
he must call the strike off, whether the
