THAT LOCAL PLANTS NEW

SARILY DELAYED.

Because of the fact that there have
of the electric light machinery order
ed for the municipal light plant, there
have been rumors set afioat recently
that perhaps the so-called electric
trust" had hand in the affair and
by use of its SUPPLE influence upon the
company which will furnish the ma
chinery for Richmond's plant, has
brough about a delay which will work
to the advantage of the private light
company which has been alleged to
be a spoke in the wheel of the big
combine. Members of the Board of
Works, however, have not shared any
such opinion. Admitting that such a
thing might be possible, there has
never been evidence to warrant the
suspision that the delays have been
caused by other than excusable caus-
es. The fact that the Board has been
advised that the machinery needed
will be here and installed by the mid
die of January indicates that Tears of
the trust meddling in Richn.ond's af-
fairs are ungrounded.
Marion Plants Experience.
The Municipal light plant of Mar
ion, where the Lighting Trust is try
ing to put the plant out of business.
has met even worse delays than Rich
monds plant has suffered. The resi-
dents of that city are up in arms
because the Westinghouse Electrical
Company of Pittsburg is holding back
machinery, that their plant needs and
needs badly. The feeling has become
so intense that several members of the
city council of Marion, have banded
themselves together unofficially and
appealed to the company to ship their
machinery Immediately. The Trust
has taken advantage of the Marion
plant in the same way that the Trusts
repre- sentatives have preached the
of this city during tue de-
lay in shipment.
A significant feature of the Marion
war is the fact that the Alliss- Chal-
mers Electrical house offered to fur
nish the city with a new dynamo
within twenty four hours. The city
accepted, but strange as it may seem
the company quietly withdrew its
offer. The citizens of that city are

The Way Flags Are Turned Out With
Modern Machinery.

The Way Flags Are Turned Out With
Modern Machinery.
By the-aid of modern machinery only
ture Of a silk or wool bunting Ameri-
can flag by 10 feet in size. This
task includes fourteen different opera
tons and twenty years ago required a
day and half to accomplish. The last
decade has witnessed the introduction
Of splicing aud cutting machines as
well as improved sewing machines.
These have revolutionized the nag
making industry.
The first step in making a flag. says
the New York Sun, is to cut the
stripes from huge rolls Of red or white
silk or wool bunting. Machinery ac-
composites most Of this, although some
operatives equipped with huge shears
are still employed. The stripes are
given over to the machine operatives,
by whom they are sewed together with
lghtninglike rapidly. The lock stitch
is used and the thread fed from spools
each of which holds $4,000 yards.
The strips sewed together, the flag
ion is the blue field at the left upper
corner Of the flag bearing the forty-six
stars, a star for every state, although
most of the flags seen for some months
will show only forty-five stars
Stars Of wool bunting flags are OF
muslin, although the union itself is of
the same material as the body Of the
flag. A star is always half the width

~ like its fellow. AS fast as the stars
are cut out they arc passed to girls
who. standing at long tables, arrange
them on the unions. Then they are
basted in place by hand and turned
over to the machine operatives.
Placing the union in position follows,
two unions being required for each
flag, one on either side. Stripes and
union joined. the fnishers take the flag
in hand. Strong canvas bands are sew
ed across the headings. the bands hav-

ners. In the case Of large flags for
STATS the haIliards run through these
grommets.
Although every year more than 4,OO0.-
600 American flags are made in the
fashion described, they form only
small proportion Of the total number
manufactured. Millions of printed
flags come into existence every year
and their number Is constantly in
creasing.

illusions is sometimes the worst pun

LITTLE CHANGE SHOWN
BUTLER'S ANNUAL REPORT.
For Every 10000 Population There Are
21.4 Persons in County Poor Farms
Slight Increase Over Last Year.

According to figures complied by
Amos w. Butler, secretary of the
board of state charities, for his bien-
NAL report TO the state legislature
the county poor asylum population
shows little change from year to year.
The census of August 81, 1906, indi-
Gates 3,124 inmates as compared with
3,115 last year. This number is equal
TO 21.4 in every 10000 population, ac-
cording to the census of 1900. If the
exact number of inhabitants of the
state at the present time was avail.
able, the proportion of poor asylum
inmates would be slightly different.
The two extremes are found in the
counties showing five inmates to
every 10000 inhabitants Drown,
Starks, Sullivan and Warrick) and in
Switzerland county, which has the
highest record in the state, 26 in
every 10000. A greater part of the
highest proportions are found in the
district from which the central hos
pital has the power to receive chronic
patience to the counties the poor asy-
lums in that district have large num-

TIFFANY CASE ARREST.
Manufacturing Superintendent Ac-
cused of Padding PQuroUs.

John b Brosseau, who in thirty-fve years
worked his way UP till ne was superintendent
OF the JeWelry manufacturing department at
T1nanys, was arrested yesterday by Central Of
nee men for padding the payroIls in the COM
panys shop Brosseau who is married man
with family. was found at his home, No. ALB
Lenox avenue. early in the afternoon Account
ants working on the books have found that at
least $1,000 has been taken
What prompted Brosseau to indulge in the
petty peculation is not known He was
man Of regular habits with no vices or extrava-
gances- His hours were such that he had prac-
tically no opportunity to visit racetracks or
poolroOms or TO speculate. His evenings he
spent at home
The padding Of the workshop payrolls has
been going on for some time, the accountants
say. Brosseau. who had charge Of them. was
one Of the most trusted employees Of the firm.
and when the investigation of the thefts in the
manufacturing department indicated his guilt
the officials Of the company were loath to take
action They began to watch Brosseau's home
and finally caused his arrest yesterday.
Ralph n. Hyde, the superintendent OF the
plant, was almost as much affected as Bros
seau when the latter was taken before Inspec-
tor Mclaughlin at Police Headquarters. Before
the complaint was drawn up Brosseau was put
through a crOss-eXamination by the inspector
and he is said to have confessed. In this con-
fession he IS alleged TO have said that his sal
ary, which was about $500. was insufficient
for his family needs. The complaint on which
BrOsseau taken before the magistrate in
the Tombs court alleges the specific theft Of
$50. through the raising Of the amount credited
TO Jacques Br1Zel, a repairer. The case was set
for hearing tomorrow. bail being fixed at
$1,000. The books thus far have been examined
for the last two years. and It is doubtful whether
the sum taken viii amount to more than $4,000
A year ago three pear shaped diamonds disap-
peared mysteriously from the Tiffany shop, and
the company offered a reward Of $4,000 for the
recovery Of the diamonds valued at S30000
and the conviction Of the thief. Mr.. Hyde said
yesterday that Brosseau had entire charge Of
the diamonds at that time but another official
Of the company said that It not believed
that Brosseau had any connection with their
disappearance.
