An officer of one of the discharged

command asking him to help them to
secure positions where they can earn a

sonal knowledge, the men had good
positions before the war, but they gave
them up to enlist. They never got them
back. The officer referred to says he

Many OF the capitalists interested in

that is not to be taken as an indication
that the two trusts will not be perfect

a trust. He may absorb himself. but is
not likely to allow himself to be swaI-
lowed UP by others.
William e. Rice of this city, when
asked his knowledge concerning the
formation Of the trust last evening.
stated that the matter was news to
him, and all he knew was gained from
the papers. He also said he was unable
to vouch for the story that all the
Washburn & Moen employees are to
have their salaries raised from to 10
per cent.
According to the latter report, a gem
eral advance is to be made in the pay
of all employees of the American Steel
and Wire Company, ranging from 5 to
10 per cent; employees paid $150, 10 per
cent; So, III per cent; $3.50, 5 per cent.
The whole will involve an increased
expense of 100000, equal to 25 per
cent on the preferred stock Thirty-six
thousand employees will benefit from
the change.
If the report is true, Worcester will
benefit greatly by the increase in
wages. There are 1000 employees in
the Washburn& Moen mills, who would
draw increased pay, A conservative
estimate shows that $500 more day
would be spent in this city.

The speaker drew a vivid picture CT
French injustice at the end of the nine

was directly responsible for the OUT

Rev. Mr.. Harlow told first of the
French hatred for Jews, out of which
grew the conviction of the innocent
Dreyfus 1t is hard to say whether this
affair is the beginning or the end of the
Semitic question in France. 1t is pro-
bable that the address will be given be-
fore larger audience at an early date.

INVESTIGATION
Of Partisan Wrapper Co. Fire is Not Yet

OF Partisan Wrapper Co. Fire is Not Yet
Concluded.
Deputy State Fire Marshal Joseph A..
Shaw came to Worcester yesterday
forenoon for the purpose Of holding an
inquest on the origin of the fire that
took place in the factory of the Partisan
Wrapper Company, Jan. 20.
The examination took up most of the
day, but the matter is not thoroughly
settled as yet. Deputy Shaw said more
investigation was necessary before the
matter could be definitely decided, and
he is unable to state definitely as to
what the outcome will be. Mr.. Shaw
went over the building yesterday
morning with Robert E. Molt of the
state fire marshals staff, and found
the conditions attending as already
stated.
Mr.. Shaw says it looks very much as
though there were two fires in the
building at opposite ends, although
there is a bare possibility that there
was but one. The inside of the elevator
we'll shows no sign Of fire, but possibly
a spark from one fire caused the blaze
at the opposite side of the building.
Among the witnesses examined yes
terday were Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon
Kunitz James Mars, night Waterman
at the factory, May Roberts, bookkeep-
er, and j. P. White, foreman, in the
employ of the company. The testimony
submitted was practically as has been
already printed.
The insurance on stock and contents
has not yet been adjusted.

instinct. All of the members of the
company appeared to good advantage
and merited the warm reception ac-
corded them.

that the interest in herbaceous plants

Bedding plants for many years were
the ldeal ones among flower growers,
Wnile herbaceous plants were hardly
given any special attention. The rea-
son for this Is because herbaceous
plants DO not present the appearances
the bedding plants do in the winter
time. for they commence to droop when
the cold weather sets in. 1t Is not az
cry harbaceous plant, he said, that can
be used to beautify the grounds, as

MORE MILLS SECURED,

News comes from Chicago that the
American Steel & Wire Company has
purchased two more extensive mills to
add to the extensive consolidation all
ready formed. The mills are those of
the A. R. Whitney Wire Company of
Duncanville, Pa, and Brooklyn and
the Puget Sound Wire Nail Company
Of Everitt, Wash. The latter plant is
capitalized at 100000 and has a capa-
city of 10000 tons of wire and nails a
