WAR On THE TRUST
New York Hebrew Women to Push
Beef Boycott.

New York, May 1S-Five hundred
East side Hebrew men and women met
today and formed 1.-The Ladies' Anti
Trust Beef Association. d" They elect.
ed Mrs. Carolyn Schatzberg president
and she appointed Mrs Pauline Frick-
ell treasurer. Out of compliment to
the Garment Workers Union, which
had sent delegates TO the meeting,
young man named Blue Menthal was
made vice presidentiand Jacob Kirsch-
Der secretary.
A committee of seven women was
appointed and the members instructed
to visit all the tenement houses on the
East side to persuade the Hebrew wo-
men not TO BUY meat until the pri ce
was reduced to the point of year
ago, that is ten and twelve cents
per pound They are not to create
any disturbances, but when they see
Hebrew women coming out of butch
er shop with meat they are instructed
to argue with them. If they are uu.
willing 30 throw the meat away, but
willing to join the org anization, com
mittee women are to buy it from them
and throw it into the street.
Together with this committee, an.
other of pine men was appointed as an
auxiliary to the women. After the
work of placing the boycott through
out the East side is completed, the
committee will continue its work in
other parts of the city, visiting the
labor and benevolent societies, jew
ish and otherwise, labor union meet
ings and lodges. They are to secure
the cooperation of such bodies and
secure delegates to attend the meet
ings of the association. The associa-
tion, which had temporary organi-
zation before, has expended $500 in
paying fines up to date. The secre-
retary said he was unable to state
how much money the organization
has, as it was coming in from collec-
tions taken from different parts of the
East side.
"Unless the price of meat comes
down." said Secretary Kirschberg,
'we will start cooperative stores,
buying meat in Philadelphia, where
the beef combination does not cotrol
the market, We nave been in CORE
spondence with butchers over there,
and our people will be satisfied that it
is pure Kosher when they see GER
tain rabbits certificate on it. We be-
lieve we can start 200 stores, say one
at every fifth block. Each customer
will be stockholder to the amount
purchased. We can sell meat for ten
cents then"

WAS A SUDDEN IMPULSE
Emperor did not Study Long Over
Proposition to Give Statue

Berlin, May IS. The purpose of
Emperor William to give a statue of
Frederick the Great to the United
States was seemingly quite Isud 1enl
formed. Last Tuesday evening his
majesty was holding an informal re-
ception in the court box or the new
theatre in Weisbanden, between acts
of the opera, l"The Merry Wives OF
Windsor" when he turned to Profess
sor Uphues, the sculptor, and said:
"Uphues, | want you to.make another
statute of Frederick the Great"
81 shall bedelighted your majesty, ~
replied the professor.
This was the first the sculptor had
heard OF the project and it was, ap.
parently, the first that anyone had
heard of the emperor's intention. dis
majesty then told Professor Uphues
that the statue was for presentation tC
the people of the United States, ant
his cablegram to President Roosevelt
on the subject was written and sen
next day.

KANSAS HARVEST HELP
Conflicting Reports About the Need
of Outside Labor

Kansas City, May 10. There is 6
conflict in the reports from different
sources regarding the need of men tC
harvest the coming wheat tcropin Kan
sas.. The latest announcement from
I. B. Gerow, head.of the Kansas free
employment bureau at Topeka, to the
effect that.there will be no need Of inn
porting harvest hands into that state
does not agree with requests made for
men upon the Missouri free employ
ment agencyin Kansas City.
The information recently given out
here that harvest hands would be
needed in Kansas was based largely
upon reports received from d. w.
Blaine, an implement dealer at Pratt,
Kas., who has for several years been
interested in the movement to supply
the shortage of help in the fields of
Kansas when the wheat is ready to be
gathered. Mr.. Blaine. it appears
from his letters to the Kansas City
employment bureau, has correspond.
ed with the county clerks of several OF
the big wheat counties in Kansas. AS
an illustration of the condition that
may confront the farmers in harvest
time he sends copy of a Pratt county
newspaper with report over the seal
of the county clerk, John Mawdsley,
on this subject. According to the
county clerks report it required l, 1se
men and 426 teams to harvest the
crops in that county in 1901. 1t is es-
timated in this same report that 1858
men and $50 teams will be needed for
the harvest of 1902 in that county.
These figures were obtained from the
township assessors.
Last year 1000 men and I, 900 teams
were required to handle the entire
Kansas wheat crop, in addition to the
regular farm labor. Mr.. Blaine writes
that the recent heavy rains give as
surance that the crop this year will
not be much smaller than it was last
year. He cites Kansas newspapers in
support OF his statement.

CANNON HOLDING BACK
Will Act When it is Known $500, 900
Is Not Sufficient.

Washington, May 16.-Congress-
man Cannon of Illinois, persists in
intention not to act on the resolution
of the Senate appropriating $500, 900
for the relief of the sufferers from the
Martinique disaster. There was some
talk about having a meeting of the
appropriations committee to take the
resolution, but Mr.. Cannon counseled
conservatism. He says when it is
demonstrated that the 5000, 900 already
appropriated is not sufficient and the
needs of the sufferers are not met by
private generosity, there will be
time enough to make the additional
appropriation.
As the Senate has already passed
the resolution appropria iating $500, 900
the House upon receiving an intima-
tion from the President of the execu-
tive departments of the government
that more money is needed, can make
the additional provision within an
hour, if such haste is necessary and
desirable. Mr.. Cannon's advice in
this connection will possibly be ac.
cepted.

MAY TAKE A HAND
National Civic Federation Discusses
the Anthracite Strike.

Washington, May l6.-The National
Civic Federation has under serious
consideration the means whereby it
may be helpful in bringing about a
termination of the anthracite coal
strike A tender of the good offices
of the federation, with a suggestion
of arbitration, of differences, among
other things. has been discussed in a
tentative way. but no definite con-
clusion has been reached and several
days will be permitted to elapse before
a determination will be reached as to
what course the federation should
pursue.
Mr.. Ralph NJ. Easley, secretary of
the federation, came over from New
York this afternoon and had a con-
ference with Senator Hanna and Mr..
Samuel Gompers, at the senator's S
house this evening. The strike situa-
ton was discussed in all its phases in
an endeavor to find way by which an
adjustment of this very serious labor
dispute may be reached. Arbitration
and a tender of the good Offices of the
federation we're among the matters
considered. The whole subject was
canvassed tentatively and without
reaching conclusion the conference

THE EMPEROR MAY COME
Possible That he Will Attend Unveil-
ing of the Statue.

Berlin, May Emperor Will
liam's court marshal has telegraphed
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press here as follows:
"The statue of Frederick the Great
will be executed, by his majesty's
command, by Professor Uphues, after
bronze statue standing in the park
grounds at Potsdam.
Professor Uphues is one of the fore
most sculptors of Germany. He
carved the statue of Frederick the
Great in marble, in the Sieges ALE
series. The expectation is that when
the statue is unveiled at Washington
u member of the Hohenzollern family
will be present, possibly the Crown
Prince Frederick William. The idea
is even mentioned that Emperor VIII.
liam himself might be in attendance.
Any authoratiye support of this sug-
gestion, however, has not been given
to thereportorialIuquiry at Postsdam.
Many members OF the imperial suite
learned of Emperor Williams purpose
only when ,the cable correspondence
with President Roosevelt was pub

THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE
w. A. Johnston Will Take the
Place.

Topeka, May 15.-Kansas will have
new chief justice of the supreme
court after next January. This will
hold true, no matter who is elected the
coming fall-even If Chief Justice
Doster should be reelected. The new
chief justice will be Judge w. A..
Johnson.
Heretofore the chief justice of the
supreme court has always been elected
every six years. An attorney might
become chief justice Immediately upoh
his accession to the supreme bench In
the past, even though other justices
had served on the bench for years.
This was the case with Chief Justice
Doster six years ago. The chief was
elected just the same as the COVER
nor.
But hereafter that feature will be
changed. Men will simply be elected
to the supreme bench, and the member
who has seen the longest continuous
service will become chief justice. This
is why Justice Johnston will become
chief after Chief Justice Doster's pres
ent term expires, whether Judge Dos
ter is reelected or not.
The change was made by the amend
ment to the state constitution adopted
two years ago which increased the
number of supreme court judges from
three to seven. 1t did away with
electing the chief justice and provides
that the justice who has been or the
bench the longest shall be the chief or
presiding Judge.
Justice Johnston will have been on
the supreme bench continually for Is
years next fall. He was first elected to
succeed Justice Brewer, now of the
United States supreme court, when the
latter was appointed as a federal
Judge. Judge Johnston took his seal
Immediately after election. He ha;
been three times reelected since.

BIG ARMOUR FIRE
Lard Refinery of the Chicago Plant
Burned Last Night.

Chicago, May l6-During the pro-
gress of dre which tonight destroyed
the lard refinery of Armour 81 Co.. In
the Union stock yards, seventeen peo-
pie were injured, four of them in a
manner which will probably cause
death in a short time. The loss of
the company is estimated by its officers
at between $75O,OOO and 5000, OOO
with all the chances in favor of the
latter figure.
There were n number of accidents
but by far the largest number of those
who were hurt met their injuries by
the falling of the hog runaway, upon
which they were standing to obtain a
better view of the fire.
The lard refinery had just been
completed and was considered by its
owners the most complete establish
ment of its kind in the United States.
1t stood at the intersection of Forty
third street and Center avenue and
was five stories high and 250x30O feet.
1t was filed with new and costly ma
chinery and during the day 1000 peo.
Pile worked within its walls. The
night shift numbered 700, and all OF
them were in the building when the
fire broke out. 1t is thought all es-
capped in safety, although the time
the time allowed some OF them was
exceedingly brief.
