operators OF the Central Competitive
Bituminous Coal district, composed Of west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois, began here today.
President Mitchell Of the United Mine
Workers called the conference 10 order
and was selected temporary chairman. The
selection Of different committeeman by the
different states, by both the operators and
the miners, was Immediately taken up.
About 200 miners and 400 operators we're
present at the opening session.
The permanent organization will be per-
fected tomorrow. and the sixteen members
OF the scale committee from each side will

Comments of warden.
In his comments the warden said:

In his comments the warden said:
ut is noticeable that an insignificant
minority OF the convicts sent nither during
the biennium are illiterates; also that the
great majority aver to have had some re-
;igious training. while the part that liquor
played can be observed only too plainly in
the table relating to the habits OF those re-
ceived. The political beliefs of c%onvicts
are not given for the reason that they vary
with the complexion OF he state at large;
II an administration Is republican, most Of
the newcomers claim afhliation with that
party, while II the fusionists are In con-
troll Of the capitol. that element gets the
greatest normal support. Why this should
be the case is not entirely clear.
That Nebraska has always borne a good
reputation for law and order is a we'll rec
ognized fact; perhaps the exact figures are
not so commonly known. This state has
one convict for every 3.Sl6 Of its inhabi-
tants, and II is confidently believed that no
other commonwealth in the union can
make SO good a showing. Certainly Ne
braska sets its immediate next door neigh
bors too fast a moral pace. Iowa has a
convict to every 1887 inhabitants; South
Dakota. one to every 2,76s; Kansas. 1ne to
every 1856. while Colorado has one man in
stripes to every 1850 of its population.
Vanilla IL AduIterated.
Food Commissioner Bassett has had a
test made OF the brands OF vanilla sold
by dealers generally throughout the state
and Of the tests made he has found that
three OF the brands labelled vanilla we're
adulterated The chief substance in the
vanilla bean to which most OF the navoring
properties are due. stated Mr.. Bassett, is
. definite chemical compound called va
nlllim. The vanillim can be prepared ar
tiheally and this is where the principal
adulteration comes in. Some OF the vanilla
sold for the pure is colored with caromal
and others with coal tar dye.
Under the present food laws the Fool
Commissioner cannot prosecute the manu-
~facturer or dealer in these adulteratod

objects to Pending Law.

Phil Penna. commissioner for the Indl-
ana operators, called attention to the fact
that there was now pending in the legisla-
ture OF the state a shot-fring bill, which
would compel operators to employ mine
shooters. For that reason it was not Just
that the Indiana operators should have to
come into the convention on the same basis
with operators from other districts of the
central competitive field. The debate was
heated and is taken to mean that a bitter
fight may be precipitated before the confer
ence ends.
w. B. Wilson. secretary OF The United
Mine Workers. replied to MIR. Penna.
He said:
l cannot understand the purpose of the
Indiana operators in raising this ques-
posed of operators and miners from four
different parts of the country. | think the
subject is brought up at this time Tor the
purpose of influencing the legislature In
its action on the bill.
Mr.. w. S. Boyle said:
On one side is organized labor: on the
other, the employers. C"Organized capital,
shouted Il voice from the audience.) Yes,
or trusts, or corporations. or monopolies,
or whatever you are pleased to call us.
1t is the same to us. We find organized
labor insisting on a bill which will put
burdens on the operators of Indiana that
do not have to be borne by the operators
of other states. This shot-firing bill puts
upon the operators expense and RESPONSE
bility of doing some of the work of the
miners.

New Way to Grow Sugar Cane.

A committee of the Planters society
has made report on special mode Of
growing sugar cane which has been
tried at Havana, says the Philadelphia
Press. 1t consists of planting the cane
in rows four yards apart, each plant or
group of shoots being three yards from
the next, thus allowing the roots and
foliage full scope. Only those shoots
and pieces of cane which are full
grown are cut. the smaller ones being
left to ripen. The committee says that
by this means the yield to the acre is
enormously increased. 1t is said that
the yield in weight of cane of the
piece of land on which the experiment
was made was 100 per cent greater
than is obi med by the present meth
cd. by which the cane is grown much
closer. Further experiments will be
made.
