EXPERIMENTS WITH BROAD TIRES.
Only Two Conditions Under Which
Narrow Tires Showed to Advantage.
ew York Evening Pos

New \ DIX LNtHInB FOSl.
Some valuable experiments with the draft
of wide and narrow-tired wagons have been
made by the officers of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Columbia, Mo. Con-
trary to public expectation it was estab-
lished that in nearly all cases the draft
was materially lighter when tires six inches
wide were used than with tires of standard
width. This is thought to remove the last
objection TO the gradual adoption of the
broad wheel. as it's effect in making rather
than in breaking roads has been thoroughly
appreciated on a macadam street the
same draft required TO haul a ton load with
narrow tires hauled more than a ton and
a quarter with the broad tires. On gravel
roads the draft required TO haul 2,000 pounds

pulled more than one-third lighter on

BUILDING AND LOAN FAILURE.
Receiver Appointed for One of the
biggest Fort Wayne Associations

Special to the indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind, July 21.-The Indi-
ana Farmers Savings and Loan Associa-
ton, one of the prominent building and
loan organizations in the city, was placed
in the hands of A A. Purman as receiver
late this evening on the application of r.
c. Bell, president of the association. The
cause of the trouble is the depressed times
and numerous Withdrawals and the inabil-
ity of the association to provide money to
meet them. The liabilities will reach $94 O00
The assets are said to be 800. Most of
the assets are mortgages on farms in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin, and the officers are confident
the lands are worth much more than the
value of the incumbrances. The papers
show $27, 600 secured by mortgages pledged
as collateral security with the Indiana
Trust Company.

Firemen to Help the Miners.

CINCINNATI. o., July 21.--The attend
ance at the reunion of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen is small, owing to the
strike of the coal miners. AT the executive
session to-day it was decided to raise funds
for the striking miners, but to take no
sympathetic action and to remain neutral
as an organization. All the excursions from
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Ken
lucky and Tennessee to me reunion have
been abandoned on account of the coal
strike. The 523 subordinate lodges report
money in their treasures, but relief for the
miners will be secured by voluntary contri-
buttons, and not from appropriations of

Another Effort at Alum Cave.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBURN, Ind, July 21.--A mass meet
ing of the miners of Sullivan county met
to-day at Dunville. William Tannahill was
made permanent chairman and Luellen
secretary. President Tannahill stated that
Star City and Alum Cave had resumed
work and the purpose of calling the mass
meeting was to devise some plan to induce
them to suspend until the strike was called
off. About fifteen miners from Alum Cave
We're present and they were called on to
explain the reason they were working. One
of them said the miners of that camp had
held meeting and voted unanimously to
engage in no more sympathy strikes and
also voted to resume work If the company
would pay the scale.
William Shipley thereupon explained this
was no sympathy strike; it was a fight
for bread and butter for all and a strike
which meant a great deal to the miners
of this country, whether the miners should
receive living wages or starve. After
brief consultation the fifteen miners from
Alum Cave present, together with Jackson
Hill and Linton men, were appointed as a
committee to wait on the miners at Alum
Cave tomorrow and persuade them TO
cease work. This will be the second visit
of the committee to Alum Cave. The other
time the Cave voted to quit work, but the
men returned to work in q few days.
