VIII Discuss Important Ouestions-Cen-
trail Labor Union.
According to one of the labor lead
ers here Roosevelt effectually stopped
any action by the national executive
council Of the American Federation Of
Labor in regard to the controversy in
the government pri' .lg office over the
Miller case by senO = telegram ask
ing the members to meet with him
and discuss the case Immediately upon
his return to Washington next week.
Labor leaders refused to discuss the
telegram or to say with whom the pres
ident communicated, but it is gener
ally understood that the message was
sent to John Mitcht =, with whom the
president is well acquainted
Mitchell would not admit that he
had received such message, but he
l. timated that the Miller case before
the executive council was indefinite
ly deferred. 1t is expected that the
president, who returns to Washington
Monday next, will confer with the la
Dor leaders. The meeting and it's re-
suit will be of the utmost Importance,
as it is the presidents intention to in
duce labor leaders generally to recog-
nize the principle laid down in the
decision of the anthracite coal strike
commission of the right of every man
to work, regardless of the fact wheth-
err or not he belongs to a labor organ
iZation.
The Central Labor Union here has
taken supplemental action in the case
of Miller, and adopted strong resolu-
tons which were sent to President
Roosevelt urging Miller's dismissal
The union earnestly requests the presi-
dent to modify his orders of last July
to Secretary Cortelyou. in which the
president says there shall be no dis
elimination between union and non
union labor. and it further petitions
that wv. A. Miller assistant foreman
in the bindery Of the government print
ing office, be dismissed to promote the
efficiency of the service on charges
made by the bookbinders' union which
prove his unftness for a public serv-
ant"
The union also adopted a resolution
which was sent to it's secretary, Chas.
w. WinSlOW, now at the convention
of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers at
Kansas City. requesting that the con-
ventiOn pass resolutions in regard TO
the order of the president on ''open
shops" and the Miller case.

urging him not to give the support Of
the Federation to the petition to Presi-

With the absolute assurance
through numerous tests in Kan
sas and the Dakotas resulting in
the production of more than l.
100000 bushels a season that this
kind of wheat could, be successful-
ly raised, Prof Carleton at once
set about his series of expert
ments at baking. No baker
could be found who could pro-
duce bread from the flour. The
dough would rise, but it would
fall again. The secrets have not
yet been revealed by which the
bread is made, but it was learned
that the chief fault had been that
the dough had been kneaded too
long. Ordinarily bakers knead
dough twenty-seven minutes.
The dough from nacaroni flour
should be kneaded only nine min
utes.
After weeks of experimenting
in the best equipped bakery in
this city sub-baker finally sue
ceeded in producing a loaf which
satisfied him. He told Prof.
Carleton about it and the proprie-
tor of the establishment, who
nodestly announsed.iti his adver-
tisement that he bakes the best
bread produced on the continent,
was called in for the test. One
loaf of his ordinary baking was
supplied and another from the
new flour. The baker examined
the loaves carefully, and when
asked which was the new loaf
from the Russian -four succeeded
only in making the Illuminating
mistake OF polntlng TO MS OWL
prize bread.
There is rejoicing in every -bu.
reau of the agricultural depart
nent and the news too good to be
kept, was told by chief of
division not even remotely con
nected with an inquiry into ce
reals. Prof Carleton left fo
i New York this morning and th'
clerks IN his department declined
to give out the letters from tht
hundreds of persons, many O
them housewives, who had mad
the bread under directions.

MACARONl WHEAT BREAD.
A Discovery Made by a Government
Scientist.

discovery Mdue NY oose'''''s''.
Scientist.
Washington, May Is. = Bread
may be made of -four ground from
hnarcarorli wheat. Those who
\haye tried it say It is good as
mother used to make" A baker
in Washington couldn't tell the
new bread from his own prize out
put. Bakers in Georgetown and
Alexandria and fnanyy fnanyy housewives
have given it an unqualified IN
dorsement. All of these testl-
monials, together with details
showing how to make the bread
will be made public in few days
by M. M. Carleton, the cereallst
of the agricultural department.
Prof Carleton is from the Kansas
HORTICULTURAL college at Manhatten.
To his investigation IS due the
introduction of macaron1 wheat
Mn the United States. 1t good
bread can be made from this
small wheat, which is harder
than any now grown in northwest
eru or southwestern Kansas or IN
the semi-arid regions of the Da-
kolas, a discovery will have been
made equal in Importance to the
introduction of alfalfa into the
United States. The semi-arid
regions will become the great
wheat belt of the United States.
Prof Carleton is temporarily
guarding his secret. He will
\ make no statements for publlca-
Mon until replies have been re.
ceived from hundreds of persons
which must be classified and pub
lished.
There have been printed on nu'
merous occasions stories about
experiments in raising macaron
wheat in the United States. But
all of them told only of the USE
of the wheat for the making o:
nacaroni. As early as 1901 Pro:
Carleton said in. bulletin that /:
process of grinding and bread
\ making could be devised gooo
bread could be made from the ce
real. Being scientists, h
u claimed that the constituent ele
ments In marcaroni wheat proved
beyond question that the bes
quality of bread could be mad
from it. The millers and baker
told him he was mistaken. Ma
caroni wheat was brought TO tn
United States from Russia. |,
experimenting with wheat whlc,
would Withstand rust, Prof Carle
ton discovered the wheat grow
in the Volga region in Russia
The region is semi-arid. Th
amount of rainfall is two inche
u less year than that of the sem
arid section of the United State
between Dodge City, Kansas, an
Abilene, Texas. In what
known as the seml-arid plains {
Kansas the yearly rainfall is bt
tween fifteen and twenty lnche
year, and nearer twenty tha
fifteen. In the Volga region tt
average is nearer fifteen tha
twenty.
The setni-arid regions Of Mort
NJ Dakota are even better adapte
for the growth of macaroni whe;
than the western parts of kans;
N but both are rnacaroni whe;
belts. 1t was only two years ag
that any miller was induced

AT meeting between representa-.
tives Of the railroad and the tax com
mission in Madison to devise means to
collect the railway tax on the advo!orem
basis, the railroadmen stated that they
would attempt to have private pro
perty assessed higher than it is. BY
assessing private property somewhere
near it's actual value the valuation
would, so 1t is estimated be largely in
creased, and rs a result the rate Of tax
alton be decreased. In other words the
railroads figure that by raising the tax
Of others they will lower their own.
That plan is alright if its execution
proves possible The only trouble is
that everyone is afraid that he is being
assessed too high as compared with bis
neighbor,

WEARY is the head that wears a
crown" may be said of John d. Rock
Teller the many time millionaire rs the
following news item clipped from the
Milwaukee Free Press fully shows.
Santa Clara, N. Y, Sept 25.-The
reign Of terror that has prevailed about
the great Rockefeller estate at Bay Pond
since the murder of Orlando p. Dexter,
eliminated today in an appeal for aid
telegraphed by Rockefeller5s superin
tendent to his employer, who went
back to New York day or two ago. 1t
is thought that men are lying in wait
for an opportunity to slay the Standard
Oil millionaire and his son, az Dexter
was killed. Since the arrival Of Mr.
Rockefeller last Monday workmen have
h, en- busy placing great oil lamps all
about the clearing in which the build
ings of the Rockefeller preserve and the
Bay Pond railroad station are located
These lamps, many of which are loco
motive headlights, illuminate the broad
and treeless eXpanse as clearly as the sun
does, making it impossible for any one
to come ont of the forest at any point
without being seen By the guards. A
dozen guides, armed with Winchesters
patrol the edge of the clearing by day
as we'll as Wy night.
The bitterness felt aga INST Mr. Rookie
Teller is especially strong in the village
Of Brandon, north of Bay Pond. The
people there blame him for the .dest nc
ton of their industries, and leaving to-
day with street after street OF empty
houses falling into decay. Four years
ago before Mr. Rockefeller began to
buy all the property he could get
hold Of, north of Bay Pond. Brandon
was typically, prosperous village,
First he bought the mill and closed it
forever At last all the houses on the
east side OF the railroad belonged to
William Rockefeller, and one night his
men came up the road and applied the
torch and half the village was in ashes.

DISCOVERY OF NEW METAL.
May Be Used by Dental Profession to
Advantage--Inven Refuses
to Divulge Secret.

James H. Duffy, of East Machias, Me-
who claims to have discovered last year
the secret, long lost, of tempering cop
per, brass, lead and aluminium, now an
nounces that he has invented new
dental metal, similar to that now used
for casting molds for rubber plates and
for crown and bridge work.
For these purposes a metal is required
that will both heat and cool quickly, and
Duffy claims that his metal, while pos
sessing that quality, can also be pro-
duced at about one-fourth the cost of the
metal now in use. Local dentists have
tried 1t and samples have been sent to
dentists in Boston and New York, who
report that it is entirely satisfactory.
When Duffy announced last year that
he had rediscovered the method of tenn
pering copper he exhibited Ratchet, a
razor and other implements, which had
fine and hard edges and which he de-
clared to be tempered copper. He then
invented a metal for journal bearings,
which he claimed to be superior to Bah
bitt metal and only about one-tenth as
expensive. This metal was tried in saw
mills at East Machias, and Is said to have
proved all that the inventor claimed
for It.
Duffy says that lumber mill owner In
Minneapolis came to Machias for the
purpose of purchasing this invention,
but that he declined to sell, or even en-
terrain an offer. He declares that none
of his secrets is for sale at any price, and,
as he has no capital with which to
place the inventions on the market, peo-
pie wonder, supposing all that he
complish.
