Cleveland Inventor said to Have . Very
Useful Device.
CLEVELAND, June 6.-James II. Bey-
ington, a Cleveland inventor Of note, has
completed a device for spinning metal
which promises to work important
changes in various lines Of metal manu-.
featuring. The principle upon which
the discovery is based is extremely sim
pie. The metal that is spun is in tubu-
lar form and is placed in a lathe which
turns at the rate of 1900 revolutions a
minute. In a moments time the metal
becomes hot and softens from the fric-
ton and can then be shaped by the
operator according to his wishes. The
tool, which consists of hard steel Jaws.
touching on either side of the revolving
tube, can be readily gagged to any de-
sired width and the softened metal may
be spun down by means of pressure to
any size OF shape, SO long q a circular
form is retained.

SMELTER MEN FEAR TROUBLE

strikers say III LaDOFefs Are lWPoH'-
ed There VIII Be an Outbreak.
Denver, July 26.-The breach between
the smelter managers and men continues
to widen, and the situation hourly grows
more serious An the efforts of the local
smelters to get men enough to start UP
have been unavaling. The managers OF
trust plants at Leadvllle and Pueblo as
sert that they will be able to resume at
once. This the strike leaders deny and
assert that the managers cannot get men
enough in this section to operate the
plants.
1t is stated semiofficially, that over 200
men are on the road from Missouri to
take the places of the strikers at the
Globe works, near this city. The report
has caused much excitement among the
strikers and the authorities.
1t is conceded that the appearance o.
imported labor will be the signal for an
outbreak. That the smelter managers
realize this fact Is apparent, as several
consultations have been held with the po-
lice and the sheriff. The guards at the
plants have been doubled.
Several arrests of union and nonun-
ion men have been made for carrying
concealed weapons. AT the Globe works
no one is admitted unless he bears Il
pass signed by the general manager. 1t
Is said that there are 20 men within the
smelter yard ready to go to work, but
until sufficient number to operate the
plant is secured no attempt to start up
will be made.

Otis WATCHES NEWS.
More About the Military Censorship
ct Manila.
CHARGES BY JOURNALIST.
Alleges That at One Time Some OF
the Volunteer Troops We're
ON the Eve of
Mutlny.

London, July ga private letter re-
ceived here from war correspondent at
Manila, dated June II, says:
"rhere seems to be no end Of the war
in sight The censorship is constantly
becoming more troublesome. General
Otis recently established a rule that any
matter relatin to the navy must be tax
en- to the commander Of the feet for his
approval and afterward submitted TO tne
military censor, thus adding to our dit1'
'culties.
.-For some reason which the censor
would not explain General Otis refused
to allow us to send the death of the MO-
nadnock's captain, Nichols. for two DAYS
after it's occurrence. The general also
refused to let US send news of the dlsap-
pearance of Captain Rockefeller, Aprii
%, on the ground that it would Worry nis
family, or the killing of Captain Iliiy OF
the signal corps until the next day.
No Chance For Correspondents.
1.-THE correspondents are all very tired
of this arrangement, which simply means
that they must 90 out and run large
chances of getting shot several times
week, with no chance of making reputa-
tons, because their stories must always
reflect Otis views.
1T Is impossible to write the truth
about the situation. The resources ana
fighting qualities of the natives are quite
Misunderstood by the American papers,
and we cannot write the facts without
being accused of treason; nor can we
tell Of the practically unanimous opposl-
ton to and dislike Of the war among the
American troops The volunteers, or at
least portion of them, were at one time
on the verge of mutihy, and unless Gen
eral Otis had begun sending them home
ward there would have been sensational
developments.

Water Question.

Tonight the taxpayers will be asked
to again grant the Mayor and his BoarG
$50, 900 in water bonds. Will they dt
it9 Why should they notP Why should
they not grant any wish that the City
Fathers may desire to make known!
Have the taxpayers OF the city ever of.
Tended the administration? Have they
not repeatedly made happy the admin.
istration by generous gifts? Whenever
the voters have expressed their views
by vote in the city meeting and the
Mayor has acted contrary to what he
knew to be the will of the voters, these
forgiving taxpayers have merely smiled
and kept silent.
From the various votes on the city
hall question to the expression of opin-
ion on the water for the Park Fountain,
the desires of the taxpayers have appar-
emily been forgotten.
The water question has filled many
pages of our city records and will cover
many more. but the 100000 bouds is a
small sum. The 100000 for the water
plant was only triie.
If the past is any guide for us to go
by, we shall be told tonight by one of
the most impressive and silver tongued
orators in the state of Vermont, that the
city plant Oh the west hill, formerly
owned by the Barre Water Co. of this
city and Springfield Mass, will never
supply the city with Il sufficient amount
of water and that knowing this fact the
City Council have contracted for the
Orange Brook extension, and then the
voters will be told that it is cheaper for
the taxpayers to vote 100000 bonds
than to have the amount remain as a
current debt.
When all this has been told. what
action will be taken ? They will not at
this late day oppose the Mayor and his
organ grinder, for this would be imposs-
ible.
The day has not arrived when the tax
payers will take matters into their own
hands, although we trust the time is not
far distant when the taxpayers and not
the Mayors Board shall say what water
plants shall be purchased and what ex-
tensions shall be made. The voter who
earns his bread by the sweat OF his
brow is just as capable of thinking for
himself and for the city and is certainly
as apt to form an honest opinion as he
who owns spring, or he who was the
owner of stocks in the Barre Water
Company or he who has won the conf
dence of the majority of the voters to
such an extent that they have placed
him in Office.
