PlUMMER WANTONLY
INSULTED THE BEE
KEEPERS OF THE STATE
Refused to Consider a Proposition to
Fight a Fatal Disease

Fight Fatal Disease
Among Bees.
The Pennsylvania State Bee Keepers
Association is nursing a grievance
against J. Lee Plummer for unceremo-
niously turning down their committee
and a proposed measure of legislation
providing for legal means OF getting
rid of destructice bee diseases in this
state.
Pennsylvania has 10000 persons en-
gagged in greater or lesser extent in the
industry of bee culture. These per-
sons are scattered all over the state,
but primarily in the northern counties.
The value of the product of the hives
of the state Is variously estimated, but
it is believed that S2,000,000 Is a con-
servative statement of the aggregate.
The records of the association, less
than two years old, is of a product of
100000 pounds, and only a few per-
sons are enrolled in the organization,
though in the matter of the legislation
the committee represented the total
number.
For some years the bees have been
suffering from the ravages of some in
sidious disease, not only in Pennsylva-
MIA, but in other states in which the
industry receives attention. The nature
of the malady has not yet been dis
covered, but it is malignant and fatal.
In other states legislation was enacted
to fight the disease. and the Pennsyl-
vania association was formed with the
view of inaugurating a similar defen-
sive movement in this state. 1t had
proved helpful elsewhere, and those
concerned in the industry believed that
good results would follow here.
With this object in view, a bill was
drafted at the instance of this state
society and put into the hands of a
prominent representative in the legis-
lature during the last session, and
committee appointed to urge its pas
sage. The measure was referred first
to the committee on Agriculture of the
house, properly, but inasmuch as It
carried a small appropriation it was
necessary TO send it. ultimately to the
committee, Of which ]. Lee Plummmer
was chairman, though the agricultural
committee strongly recommended its
passage.
Mr.. Plummer constantly refused to
give the state society's committee or
representatives a hearing, and as they
CHANGED to see him one day and asked
for hearing to explain the object of
the bill he remarked with a vile oath,
what In the h do you fellows want,
anyway? 1t is nothing but money,
money, money" The members of the
committee reminded him that If he did
not want to talk about the expenditure
of the states money for the citizens
he should not have accepted the chair
manship of the state committee.
They thereupon decided that regard
less Of politics they would not officially
but individually for those who chose
let their fellow bee keepers and other
agriculturists in this state know of tho
vile and insolent manner in which
they were received by one who now
appeals TO them for election to figh
ard important office In the state.

Statistics show that the flocks of the
world have declined at least $4,000, 600
head since 1878, an average of more
than 100000 annually. If the world
is eating up its sheep, is it not sensible
to conclude that the value of mutton
must hold firm for many years to come.

fsnd the fortfcations in this fashion,
and from time 10 time the balloonists
would set afoat smaller balloons,
which fioated away and were used as
targets later by the automobile guns,
using ball cartridges.
The work Of these automobile batter
les was remarkable. Although. OF
course. no loaded shells were fired at
the airship, the rapidity Of fire, the
ability Of the automobiles to follow the
flight of the aerial bombarders and the
accuracy Of FIRE, as shown later against
the target balloons, were all consid-
cred in making a decision, and the re-
suit of the deliberations of the umpire
was that the attacking airship would
have been destroyed by the automobile
corps. What the result would have
been had a feet Of aerial battleships
been In action the uInpires did not say.
The accuracy Of the aim OF the gun
ners was shown to be remarkable

that they were firing from automobiles

FULL MEANING OF
CARS SURRENDER
James creelman Explains Grant
Of Liberty to Russians.

To understand the immensity Of the
czar's surrender TO his people it is nee
essary to know that even the new
Russian prime minister, Count Witte,
who secured the imperial signature to
Russlas Magma Charta," has been a
firm defender of autocracy and as re-
Gently as his visit to the United States
declared his belief that greater and
more desirable reforms could be
brought about by an honest and intel
ligent absolutism than through loose
and premature experiments in consti-
tutional and legislative government,
says James Creelman in the New York
World.
Witte came TO America this year be-
lieving there was no middle class in
his country and that. without such a
bridge between the corrupt, arrogant
aristoeracy and the ignorant, scattered
and inert peasantry, constitutional gov
ernment would be farce.
He went back to find that organized
labor, working under the advice Of ex-
perlenced labor leaders from other Eu-
ropean countries, notably Germany,
had taken the places of the old concep-
tlon Of n middle class.
