LONG SESSION HELD
Red Gross Trustees Nearly
Five Hours in Conference.
NEW PLAN ADOPTED
PROPOSED TO ELECT ANOTHER
HEAD OF ORGANIZATION.
Ex-Secretaries olney and Foster Named
as Committee to Select
Ticket.
NEW PLAN ADOPTED

The trustees of the American National
Red Cross were In session for nearly five
hours today, and finally drew up plan
for the reorganization of the society. which
they hope will be satisfactory to the re-
monstrants.
This plan provides that meeting of the
trustees be held June 10 for the election of
a new president and the filling of such va
cancies as may at that time exist. 1t was
arranged that a ticket should be agreed
upon between Mr.. Richard Olney. formerly
Secretary of State. representing the society.
and former Secretary Foster. representing
the remonstrants. Whether this plan will
prove to be satisfactory to the remon-
strants is not known.
The meeting of the trustees was called TO
order in the rooms of Mr.. Chas. Al Baker
in the Metzerott building at 1890 o'clock
this morning At that time there were
present: Mrs. John A. Logan, acting presi-
dent former Secretary Olney, Chas. A.
Baker. S. B. Hege. s. w. Briggs, E. d.
Fisk and P. V. DeGraw
Miss Barton Not Participant.
Miss Barton was present for a short time,
but did not take part in the meeting.
Former Secretary Foster, representing the
rernonstrants. had been invited to be pres
emit and take part in the effort to evolve
plan for settling all differences among
the members of the society.
He was not present, however. and after
waiting a short time the trustees proceeded
In their attempt to form a satisfactory
plan. Mrs Logan presided committee,
consisting of p. V. DeGraw, Charles A.
Baker and s. w. Briggs. was appointed to
audit bills pending, and resolution was
adopted instructing the secretary to call a
special meeting of the corporation, to be
held June 10, for the purpose of electing
new officers.
At the close of the meeting Mrs. Logan
was asked by Star reporter whether the
action OF the trustees would be approved by
the renonstraats and she replied that as
they knew nothing of the plan up to that
time 1t could not be known how they will
view it.
Plan Of the Remonstrants.
The remonstrants have been insistent
that the society should be reorganized in
accordance with the plan for providing a
new charter to be placed before Congress
next winter, and that in the meantime a
temporary organization should be effected
four OF whom should be named by the
President of the United States, four by the
rem onstrantS and four by the present trus-
tees, the president of the society to be
named by the President of the United
States.
That organization, according to the wishes
or the remonstrants, would control the
ciety until Congress meets and grants a
new charter. Whether not the plan out
lined by the trustees today will approxi-
mately meet those conditions so as to be
acceptable to the remonstrants cannot be
determined until a conference of the re-
monstrants has been held.

PROTECTING WATER PIPES.
How Winter Time Annoyances May
Be Overcome by a Simple
Device.

I am speaking from actual expe
rience with a 60-foot stand-pipe under
a tank, and also with another tank
only 32 feet high. Both Of these
pipes are one and one-half inch diam
eter. We tried several methods, and
found the present plan entirely salts
factory. 1t may seem rather expen-
sive, but such 1. JOB to be improperly
done is much more expensive, as we
have found by experience. The dia-
gram will show just how we do it,
says the Rural New Yorker. Make a
four-inch pipe of heavy galvanized
iron in sections like stovepipe, each
made to slip over the next. Every
second section should have -four cop
per wires run through holes in the
pipe on four sizes and opposite to each
other, and the wire soldered ON the
outside, also solder the holes up
tight. AS you put each section ono
fastcn these wires sc the water pipe
is in the middle of the galvanized pipe.
If inconvenient to ~disconnecl your
water pipe to slip these pipes over the
top, then crimp and fasten at top and
bottom with small short stove bolts.
Screw heads on the outside. Then
put the boards on as shown in dia-
gram. BE sure always to break joints.
DO not wrap pipes with anything;
leave them bare; paper and asbestos
get wet In summer and freeze in WIN
ter. DO not try to keep the water
from freezing in the pipes by letting
water run through them; 1t Will not
work under most conditions. Unless
the water is very warm in the tank.
II will form Ice and freeze quicker run
ming than if not running. If you
have a windmill to supply the water
by letting the water run and also the
mill, you will be all right. but any
other kind of a supply will not be
satisfactory. l use a gasoline engine

HOW THE PIPES ARE PROTECTED

The other tank is supplied by a ram
and the water Is so cold coming from
the ram that it will often freeze while
the ram Is working. With this style
OF protection O have an advantage
over any other method, as by setting
a lamp under the box you can thaw
the worst kind Of a freeze out in Q
very short time.
The heat gets direct at the pipe.
and very quickly lets the ice loose,
and there Is no possible danger of fire.
because the iron pipes are protection.
Before putting up the pipes it is best
to paint them with white lead and oil,
which will keep them from rusting for
many years. A lamp set in this tox
on the severest night in the coolest
climates will absolutely prevent freez-
ing. The chimney of the lamp should
be made OF tin, and should be eight
to ten inches long, and Mt tightly
through a hole in a piece of tin under
the box. Brush the wick every day.
and put in a new wick every month.
A lamp with q one-half-inch wick Is
large enough.
You will only need the lamp during
