A Fine Orchard for Sale.

Early last spring Mr.. Kuster, an en-.
ergetic young farmer from Kansas,
brought his young family into the
Valley in search of health for his de-
voted wife. who was very low from
the serious effects of an attack Of tu-
berculosis. He soon saw, as every one
must see, that the Valley had a great
future. Delighted with Roswell and
it's citizens, charmed by the beautiful
farms and orchards, and encouraged
by the young wife and mother who
drank inspiration from the floods OF
sunlight and from the gentle breezes
cast his lot with us. And in keeping
with good judgment. soon decided TO
make an investment in orchard prop
erty.
Through Carlton Bros, Mr.. Kuster
purchased the McIntire 20-acre orch
ard, which is the finest small orchard
In the Valley. He was delighted with
his new home. delighted with the
Valley and its people. But he soon
saw that the mother of his little chill
dren u yield to the fatal effects
of the dreaded disease, and today
four little children, sad-hearted, play
around the door of a motherless home
Mr.. Kuster is a thousand miles from
his old home. He wishes to return
there, that his children may have the
care and kindness of their grandma
Their. In order Il do this he will sell
his splendid property at a bargain.
The fruit from this orchard last year
sold for more than forty per cent of
the orchards value. The fruit crop
will mor than pay for the property.
1t will be sold cheap, and is a splen-
did bargain at the price asked. Mr.
Kuster will take in exchange unin- |
numbered city property to the value
Of twenty-five hundred dollars.

DR.. Charles p. Neili. the new commits

office this morning, Col Carroll d. Wright
the former commissioner, having said
farewell to the CLERKS yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Neill held an informal reception at
noon today in his, office, 1923 New York

reau Of labor were introduced to him by
Chief Clerk Hanger. The new commits
sioner made no formal address, but greeted
each one heartily.
DIR. Neill, who was nominated December
IL last to be commissioner Of labor to sue
coed Carroll D. Wright, although possess-
ing somewhat of a. national renutation ia
better known in the District of Columbia
because of his long residence here and of
his untiring efforts in the interests of local
institutions. He was appointed a member
of the board of charities when it was or
ganized about five years ago. and has serv-
ed continuously in many important capac-
tiles.
He was a member of the committee
which investigated the affairs of the Emer-
gency Hospital and more recently was
asked to serve with Mr.. John Joy Edison on
a committee to investigate the charges
against the administration Of the reform
school for girls. He is prominently identi-
fed with the charity work and the social
economies of the District, and is professor
of social and political economy at the
Catholic University.
His national reputation was gained
through his appointment as assistant re-
corder to the anthracite strike commits
sion. He served in that capacity to the
entire satisfaction of the members of the
board. all of whom speak highly of his
knowledge of labor conditions and econom-
ic statistics. In fact, his work was so well
thought of that when Judge Gray was
asked to arbitrate the trouble of the min
ers in Alabama he requested Prof. Neill
to accompany him as assistant.

SUBWAY STRIKE THREATENED.
Changes in Time Schedule Lead to
More Friction.

NEW YORK, February IA strike on
the subway is again threatened, growing
out of changes in the time table, which ac-
cording to the men compel them to make an
extra trip and have resulted in the abolish
ment Of the fifteen minutes rest allowed
the mortormen at the northern terminals
at the end Of each round trip
Only few days ago it was announced
that friction between the company and its
employees had been removed. The latest
trouble became known today when the
executive committee representing the local
brotherhoods of engineers and firemen and
the Amalgamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees adjourned after
a long meeting and declared that unless
the officials of the Interborough Company
acceded to their demands and remedied GER
tain changes made after the company's
promises were given last Thursday strike
would be ordered and the subway complete
ly tied up.
A committee was named to call upon the

eral Manager Hedley of the Interborough
said no meeting had been arranged with the
men and that the company would make alb

live up to that contract" said he. THE
statement made by some of the employees
association officials that the new schedule

chants Association and the Christian

form Association, visited this city yester-

ton last evening, who was requested to lay
the facts of the recent police raid on Phil
adelphias Chinatown before Secretary Hay,
with view to securing such redress as the
case calls for.

asked that all the facts IN the case be put

TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES.
Significant Speech of Legislator May
Lead to Upheaval.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. February Ian up
heaval in the Illinois legislature, possibly
rivaling the recent boodling exposures in
the legislature of Missouri may be the
outcome Of an address made by Represen-
tative Frank D. Comerford OF Chicago to
the students Of the Illinois College OF Law
few days ago. The general assembly
today appointed a committee Of seven 10

are reported as specifically alleging that
tho Illinois legislature Is a great public
euction. where special privileges are sold
to the highest corporation bidders, and
that without respect to party affiliations
the 'grafters' seem to be IN the majority"
The Investigating committee Is empow-
cred to bring before 1t Representative
Comerford and cause him to testify as to
what he knows of the alleged wholesale
corruption.
When the resolution to investigate came
before the house today Mr.. Comerford said:
Il will welcome this investigation, and l
only hope the committee will be thorough
and impartial and as sincere as I am in
the matter
Speaker shurtleff called Mr.. Comerford
to order several times, demanding that
Comerford conf1ne himself to the subject
at hand.
81 ask consent of the House to speak five
minutes on this subject" shouted Mr.
Comerford. Amid much confusion chorus
Of mo" came from both sides of the House.
Then, Mr.. Speaker, 1 am in favor Of
the adoption of the resolution" said Mr.
Comerford.
The resolution was carried unanimously
For the first time in the history Of the
legislature Of Illinois in many years MEM
bers of the general assembly are walking
about armed. Threats have been made
against Representative Comerford, who ac-
knowledges that he has a revolver in his
pocket to defend himself in an emergency.
One assault has already been recorded
as consequence Of the Comerford charges.
James Burdette, a reporter for a Chicago
paper, was knocked down just outside the
entrance to the Leland Hotel by alleged
friends of one Of the accused members of
the legislature and was roughly handled.

MERGER MAY BE DIFFICULT.
Building Trades Alliance Not So Easily
Consummated.

r. 10 the belief of a prominent local labor
Ieadar that considerable difficulty will be
encountered by the merger committee OF
the Council of Allied Building Trades and
that of the Structural Building Trades AL
lance in their efforts to amalgamate the
two local organizations. He said there
were several obstacles which would have to
be overcome, and which appear to be In
surmountable The committees will meet
tn Joint session tomorrow night at the head
quarters of the alliance in the Corcoran
building, when the obstacles will be pre-
scented for consideration.
The first of these is said to be the anon
alous condition that exists in connection
with the local union of hod carriers Not
wfthstanding the fact that Herman Lillian.
president of the National Association OF
Hold Carriers, is one OF the directors OF the
National Alliance, and the organization he
is at the head of is one of the five building
trades composing the National Alliance 1t
is said the local union of bod carriers has
been refused admission to the local alliance
for trade reasons. The local hod carriers,
therefore while nationally connected with
the Alliance of Structural Building Trades,
are locally affiliated with the Council OF
Allied Building Trades. -
Another obstacle presented is the fact
that the Plumbers Union is member OF
the local alliance, while the Steamfitters'
Union is one of the confederated bodies
forming the Allied Council The merging.
as proposed, will revive the jursdictionai
fight between the two associations the
plumbers contending, and being supported
in their contention by the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. that the steamfitters' or
ganization comes under their jurisdiction
and is not a separate association.
Still another obstacle pointed out is the
contention of both committees in favor of
the body they represent. 1t is stated that
the alliance wants to absorb the Allied
Council, while the latter is equally deter
mined that their organization should alb
sorb the alliance This obstacle may be
overcome, it is said, by merging the two
and then giving the combined body an en-
tirely new designation.
"These" said the labor leader, ''are some
of the hard nuts the two committees will
have to crack at their Joint meeting to-
morrow night.

GERMAN COMMERCIAL TREATIES.
Chancellor Won Buelow Submits Some
General Observations.

BERLIN, February 1.-Chancelor Won
Buelow, in submitting the commercial trea-
ties to the reichstag today, said he would
not go into details, but would make some
general observations. The unfavorable po-
stion of agriculture in Germany compared
with manufactures was shown by the trans
fer of the population from the country to
the cities.
In 1871 "a per cent of the population lived
in places of less than 1900. In 1895 the
cities and country were equal, while today
"a per cent lived in the cities. Germany
was not essentially an industrial state, but
an agricultural and industrial state.
Wide territories in Germany, especially in
the northeast, south, southwest and in Ba-
varia, relied on agriculture. The flourish
ing development of industry had limited
and checked agriculture. Agriculture in
Germany was sick These treat ties were de-
signed to equalize the development and to
assist agriculture.
