MARBLE WORKS CLOSE DOWN.
Members Of the National Association to
ReOrganize Plants ~ Open Shops.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 81 In compliance
with an order issued by the executive
committee of the National Association Of
Marble Dealers, the Lautz company, the
only marble dealers In the city, this morning
closed down its big works. At the same
time II was said that similar action had
been taken by every marble dealer in the
United States, excepting the dealers Of
Vermont and New York city, who are not
members Of the dealers association.
William LAutz. the head Of the local
plant, is member,of the dealers executive
committee. He made the following state
ment:
An the members OF the dealers asso-
citation closed their plants to-day, and after
three days devote ed to reorganization they
willresume business as open shops, instead
Of union shops. as heretofore. This Is
their representatives have broken all agree
ments made with the dealers, particularly
an agreement made In Buffalo last March,
which provided for a method Of concilia-
tion for all disputes, a reduction OF working
hours without reduction OF wages and
recognition OF the union.
"The dealers also are dissatisfied because
the employe % have worked for less wages
than are paid by the dealers association
and have handled set work manufactured
by workmen not members of the inter-
national association and VINO worked On
basis of ten hours day and for less wages
than were paid by the members Of the
dealers association
BALTIMORE, Sept 2l.--Three Baltimore
marble works belonging to the National
Association of Marble Dealers closed this
morning and will not reopen until Thurs
day. This shutdown is the result Of an
order from the National Association Of
Marble Dealers. Heretofore the dealers
have recognized union labor, but when the
works open on Thursday they will make
no distinction between union and nom
union mon. 1t is possible that fight be-
tween organized labor and organized capt.
tai will be caused by the lockout.

SENATOR GREEN'S HEARING.
Commissioner Hall Holds That the Indict.

BINGHAMToN, N. Y, Sept. 2l.-The hear
ing on the charges against State Senator
George E. Green. who is under indictment
Tor bribery of George W. Beavers in the
sale Of recording clocks to the Post Office
Department, will be held tomorrow morn
ing before United States Commissioner
Hall.
Mr.. Hall has differed from the Commits
sioncr In Brooklyn, before whom Beavers
was nrraigned, in holding that tho Govern
ment must establish more proof other
than the indictment alone. He maintains
t HI t il no proof other than the allegations
in the Indictment are presented he must
refuse TO hold Green. United States Dis
trict Attorney Curtiss says he has a fiji
davits which will fully sustain the charges.
Though no public announcement has been
made, Senator Green has said that if he is

ton will assist in the defence.
POSTAL FRAUD CASES HERE.
United States Judge Holt decided yester-
day that he had no right to interfere in
the Beavers postal fraud case until it comes
before him in the regular order OF legal pro-
cedure. He was asked by counsel for
Beavers, with the consent OF United States
District Attorney Burnett and Commissioner
Hitchcock, TO decide whether or not. United
States District Attorney Youngs OF Brook
Ign and his typewriter, Miss May Wren,
were guilty Of contempt in failing TO answer
subpoena served on them by Beavers's
counsel In the hearing before Commissioner
Hitchcock. Mr.. Youngs called the sub
pennas mere slips Of paper and Com
missioner Hitchcock admitted that he
didn't think his subpenas were good out
side his district.
This morning 1t is expected the Beavers
case will be wound up SO far as Commits
sioner Hitchcock Is concerned. After
Beavers is committed for removal to Brook
Ign his attorneys will probably take him
before Circuit Judge on WRIT Of habeas
corpus.
The case Of Maurice Runkle was adjourned

EDUCATIONAL LEGISLATION.
SOME OF THE MATTERS TO BE
PRESENTED TO THE LEGls.
lATURE.
State superintendent stoekwell Talks
Of the Matters Deemed Of Greatest
Importance by the Educators OF the
State for Legislation.

some cOuCdtlOudl lc6ioioVAOh "a w
proposed at the forthcoming session.
State Superintendent Stockwell, when
asked with regard to what was
deemed most important by the educa-
tional interests of the state, stated that
the matter of most pressing I'M
portance. in the opinion of the edu-
Gators of the state, was the increase
of the state appropriation for aid to
high schools. The present appropria-
ton is $4,000 annually. This Is d.
vided among high schools of the state
that comply with specified require
ments as to course of study. The
high schools receiving aid are divided
into first, second and third classes,
according as they do the full tour
years work or have a shorter course.
Under the present appropriation, the
schools of the first class receive $l75
a year, those of the second $3.50 and
those Of the third $125. The state de-
partment would like an appropriation
sufficient to give each of the schools OF
the first class about $500 annually.
The state aid for high schools is for
the tuition of pupils from the rural
districts without charge to them. AS
explained by Superintendent Stock
well, in the instance of the city OF
Grafton, there are about thirty pupils
from rural districts attending the high
schools. The tuition charge there is
about SIS a year for the high school.
This would make the tuition charge
for the rural pupils $3.50 a year, for
which the school receives from the
state only SITS. The additional ap'
preparation that will be requested
would equalize matters with the
schools. Minnesota grants 500 200
annually for state aid to high schools
Wisconsin grants $15O.O0O. 1t is be-
lieved by the educators of the state
that North Dakota can afford to make
a more liberal appropriation and
should do SO.
Other educational legislation pro
popsed is largely remedial or auxiliary
to what is now on the statute books
1t is desired to have a law enacted
that will permit the organization OF
school districts in unorganized coun
ties. AS the laws stand now, there is
no legal means of organizing a school
district in unorganized territory. Ap
plications for organization have tc
come through county commissioners
1t is proposed to have the law amend
ed so as to permit the state superin
tendent to take the initiative in unor
ganized territory and permit the or
g~aniZation of districts.
The proposal for the creation of the
Office Of state high school inspector
will again come before the attention
of the legislature. This bill was be
fore the legislature once before, but
failed. 1t is also proposed to ask the
legislature to make an appropriation
sufficient to pay for the publication Of
the proceedings of the State Educa
tional association.

w. T. Perkins Tells Of the Future Of
the Far Northern Cape Country.
Washington Post: Cape Norvel is
now on the threshold of the brightest
epoch in it's history" said Mr.. William
T. Perkins, of that famous mining
camp, at the New Willard. Mr.. Perk-
ms is auditor of the Northwestern
Commercial company, and is thorough
ly identified with the mining and COM
mercial interests of Alaska.
II am certain" he continued, that
we shall take out as much gold in
1903 as we have produced in the Nome
district in the past two years. We have
got down to scientific mining by n.y.
draulic power, where machinery will
do as much work as 1000 men did by
the primitive method of rockers. The
installation of machinery means a sure
return, and as all the gravel beds of
the streams of the region carry gold
there is no element of doubt in operat-
ing. This last season a ditch costing
$250.000 was dug. and another will be
completed this year at twice that
figure.
nome In the SumMer is a place of
$500 people, but when l came out late
in October last 1t had shrunk to 5000.
In the spring it will get back it's form
er population and more. The people
are intelligent, honest and law abiding.
Out of a registration of 1910 voters
only two were found who could not
write their names. Considering the
character of the people in Alaska, and
the value of that territory to the ma.
ton. 1t seems to me only just that con
gress should give us some considera-
ton. AS 1t is, we are not on a par
with a negro in Porto Rico or a Kan
aka in the Sandwich islands.
Il am not here to ask any v
mental favor, but as we are largely
interested in the country l hope to see
some remedial legislation. We might
at least be given a delegate at Wash
ington and a territorial form of gov-
ernment."
