Probate JusgsS to Confer on Juvenile
Court Law.

Judge Rankin is 10 receipt Of
letter from Topeka requesting his
presence'ss probate judge from Dick
inson county at meeting to be held
in Topeka June 2S and "a. The
meeting will be composed entirely Of
the probate judges Of the state, and
the special object Of gathering will be
to take some action relative to the
juvenile court Law which was passed
by the last legislature. The atten.
ton Of the judge is called to the ru-
NOR that the juvenile court law is q
very knOtty problem, and to the
further fact that nobody seems to
know Just how to proceed under 1t.
It iS hoped that when the meeting
has adjourned the probate judges will
have some more knowledge aS to their
utiss In juvenile cases.

How Hi. Death Game.

EDITOR REFLECTOR: So many re-
ports have been published about the
death Of Bonnie Alden, none Of them
accurate, that it seems only fair to
his memory to give the exact facts
He went for the cattle on the evening
Of May 1S, taking shotgun along to
get o rabbit for his dog. The gun
was overloaded and he, knowing this,
placed the butt OF the gun against q
tree and shot. The gun exploded,
ripping open foot or more of the
barrel. The conclusion struck him
on the right side; breaking the air
cells Of the right lung and in an in
slant booming him for death. He
called for his brother John who was
near. He came at the second call,
thinking the first was for fun. When
he came Benny asked John, "What's
up, what's the mAtterP" Those were
his last words, except low "good-
bye" later in the evening. John
hitched.a horse to buggy and in
short time they had him In the house.
His folks sent for Talmage doctor
who came at once but who had an
other patient needing strict attention.
They then called two, doctors from
Abilene who reached there after his
death, which occurred at 10 minutes
after 70 on Friday morning. The &C.
cident happened about $3.50 Thursday
evening, He was ready to 60. Fun
eral services were held at the house
on Sunday at Up. m. and he was
buried beside his mother in the
Henry cemetery. 1t was one of the
largest attended funerals this com.
munity has seen for some time. His
accomplishing, noble, true life has
left us good example. He is now
walking the golden streets Of heaven
and we mourn the loss Of q true
friend. AL D.

About the NsK Road Law.

Aquestion has arisen in connection
with the new road Law. Until its
passage road taxes could be paid in
either money or labor. The new law
provides that they shall be paid in
cash unless the township board passes
9 formal resolution to allow such
taxes to be paid 10 labor. This rsSO-
luton must bs passed at the time the
levy is made. The question therefore
arises whether the road taxes for the
current year can be paid in labor o.
must they Be paid in cash. The 81
tOrnsy general holds that ~ the cur
rent tsIss were levied bsiOrs The pas

CANNOT TAKE COAL
FROM LIGHT" BARCES
Police Determined to Break Up
Practice After the Elizabeth
port Pirates.

A New York city police patrol boat
in charge of a sergeant, visited South
Amboy yesterday ternoon and it is
understood that the policemen told
a number of local and Staten Island
men, who were waiting at the docks
to get coal from some of the incom-
ing empty barges. that they would
have to stop the practice at once or
they would be locked up.
When the empty barges come to
South Amboy they generally have a
quantity of coal left in the hold. For
years it has been the habit of local
and Staten Island men to go to South
Amboy and, as the boats come in, to
board them and get what coal there
is to be found.
For many weeks the police of
New York have been watching the
coal fleets and they feel confident
that they have succeeded in break
ing up the great crowd of coal pir-
ates, especially those which hang out
at Elizabethport.
Every night, from the local, South
Amboy and Port Reading docks hun
dreds of tons of coal are being ship
ped and the police are kept on the
move. They generally arrange so
that one of the police patrol boats
can follow close behind or between
two tugs of the fleet, so that in case
an attempt to steal coal is made,

STRIKE OF MINERS
NOW A POSSIBILITY.
Committee Appointed at the Meet
ing Yesterday to Confer With
The Operators.

SHAMOKIN, Pa, Dec. ia
strike of the anthracite coal miners
in Pennsylvania, with the possibility
miners in the middle west next spring
is the quiet belief today of the dele
gates of the anthracite coal workers
convention and coal operatives liv-
ing in the region.
The miners convention practically
completed its labors yesterday when
special committee" was appointed
at an executive session to prepare
and present the demands of the min
ers to the operators.
President Mitchell made a strong
speech at the executive session, and
is reported to have said in substance
that he feared an amicable agree
ment could not be reached with the
operators, although the situation was
filed with possibilities.
President Mitchell absolutely de-
clined to discuss the situation and
his reported utterances at the con-
vention has given an omnious cast to
the outlook.
The scale committee, after constr
cring the various demands, made a
report to the convention that COM
mittee, composed of the district Off
GERS, should prepare and formulate
all demands, after considering all
discussions bearing on union recog-
milton, wages and hours that were
presented to the convention. This
procedure removed all possibility of
the delegates giving their individual
opinion in the convention on what
the form of the demands on the op-
orators should be.
