Walker, once a wealthy physician of
Canton, and Elizabeth Fraser, her sis
ter, were taken to the Jail hospital last
night on warrants charging lunacy.
For three weeks these women have
been barricaded in their home, refusing
to accept food or help. When the house
was broken into last night the women
were found to be. raving maniacs.
There was not crust of bread in the
house and the women had subsisted by
eating soft soap, of which there was a
barrel in the house. Both had been
sleeping on an improvised bed made of
six chairs drawn together.
Thousands of dollars worth of valu-
able laCes, tapestries, linens and silks
were found In eight large trunks. The
women had sawed a hole through the
kitchen floor, into which they threw
rich carpets, silverware and other
goods worth more than $1,000. They told
the sheriff they had intended to hide
there.
When the officers went TO the house
they found the door barricaded and the
organ was piled against 1t. When the
men demanded admittance one of the
women began to play an air on the Or
gan. They shouted that they would
not be captured.
Mrs Walker owns real estate In this
city worth more than $4,000.

wal be sold to farmers at s1.25 per
bushel, the proceeds of the sale to be
used In carrying on cooperative ex-

two nor more than ten bushels VIII be
sold to any one party, and IT will be
furnished to those parties only who
will agree to sow and raise 1t under
proper conditions to assure Its being
kept pure. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has already gone
to a great deal OF expense In invesu-
eating the macaroni industry and the
raising OF macaroni wheats In this and
foreign countries and the adoption or
various foreign wheats to our soils and
climatic conditions. Every effort has
been made to obtain only those varie-
ties that are likely to prove adapted TO

taken to secure seed as pure and free
from foul seeds as possible. 1t Is be-

STRIKE Is BROKEN.
Big Labor Struggle mt Boston IL sud-
denly brought To an End.


Boston. March is. - Through the
unite - efforts of representatives of the
great mercantile bodies of the city.
seconded by the chief executives OF
city and state. In conference with the
reoc gnized leaders OF organized labor.
the great strike OF freight handlers
and kindred trades represented In the
allied freight transportation council
was broken last night. Fully 10000
men who have been idle for four days
will go to work to-day.
This result was attained at a con-
ference last evening at the office OF
Gov. Crane. The decision was at once
rerorted tc the Allied Freight Trans
portation council at a special meeting
and unanimously Endorsed.
The settlement was the result OF an
expressed determination OF Gov. Crane
and those representing the merchants
of Boston TO bring all possible pressure
to bear upon the New York, New Ha-
ven e. Hartford Railroad company to
adopt the rules in force upon the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad, forbidding
freigh. handlers to unload teams ex-
cept at their own option and risk.
All VIII Get Their Jobs.
All of the old men for whom places
can be found will be taken back by the
railroads to-day, but owing to the
sudGenness with which the strike was
ended and the large number of new
men who have been installed IL is like
Iy that many of the old employees will
find no vacancies ready for them.
Eventually, II is believed. they all viii
regain their old positions.
Teansters and 'longshoremen will
find an unprecedented demand for
their services and traffic OF all descrip-
lions, which has been virtually at
standstill for the past three OF four
days, will be resumed to-day with
rush.
The Brine Transportation company
the loading and unloading OF whose
non-union teams precipitated the
strike of the New York, New Haven IL
Hartford freight handlers. does not
appear to have figured in the settle
ment OF the present controversy, and
as far as that company is concerned,
the sentiment against II on the part
of the labor unions is as bitter as ever.
Under the new arrangement, however,
union men will not be required to load
or unload that company's teams.
