One breeder of poultry asserts that
,vOrcrowding reduces the egg yield.
We doubt very much II oyercrowding
reduced the egg yield. except as the
fowls are thereby deprived Of food
and exercise. The egg laying of the
hen depends on her maturity and her
having food for eggs. When she is
mature enough TO lay and has the
proper food she cannot help laying,
no matter how many other hens may
be In the same flock with her, We
hold the opinion that tho assertion
that overcrowding causes lessened
production of eggs is not founded on
scientific investigation.

INDIAN kept
HIS PLEDGE

Indian devotion to pledge is not a
myth; it survives to THIS day. At
the May term OF court CtaTles Boiling
pieNd guilty to introducing before
judge Parker at Sallisaw. he was
sentenced to 60 days in the federal
jail and to pay a fine Of SIS. He ask
ed to be permitted to stay out Of jail
and make his crop, in order to provide
for his family, and Judge Parker
granted the request, releasing Boiling,
who Is a Cherokee, on his promise to
appear at Vinita on December to
begin his sentence. No bond Of any
kind was required.
Boiling was waiting at the court
house this morning when the doors
we're opened and is now in jail, serving

dams are part Of our new state gov
ernment. They have the duties and
obligations of citizenship and as rap
idly as consistent with the policy o.
protecting the Indian he must accept
all Of the duties OF citizenship The
alienation of surplus indian lands
will add greatly to our taxable
wealth.
When asked what he thought the
constitutional convention should do
Mr. Mcclure re piled:
Whatever I should say would have
little influence. Yet there is one
thing, il / could advise, ! would lay
stress upon. The constitution should
be left wide open, SO if, at any time,
the legislature desires to enact laws
protecting the people from the en-
croachments Of wealthy corporations,
whether they be in the form OF Stand
ard Oil, or anything else, it may do
so, without the handicap OF cOnstitu-
tiOnal restrictions.
ssI have In mind the experience Of
Kansas, where the legislature was
handicapped in it's fight against
Standard Oil by the clause in the
constitution which prevented the
state from engaging in manufacturing
or other business carried on by its
citizens.
1--WE must keep in mind the pro-
lection of our small capitalists,
whether they be oil men or manu-
facturers. And to be in a position to
protect them, should they be threat
ened by a gigantic monopoly, our
constitution must be wide open so our
Legislatures will not be restricted"

Are the Revelations
Now Being Made in
Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. Sensational evil
dence was gwen today in the trial Of
President Shea Of the international
Teamsters' union on the charge Of
conspiracy 10 connection with last
years strike. According to the testi-
mony Of Albert Young, president OF
the United Teamsters of America,
Robert Noren, business agent of the
Garment Workers union, provided a
fund Of 81, 500, which was divided be-
tween Shea and the other officials in
order to induce them to call a strike
Of the teamsters for the purpose Of
aiding the garment workers Of Mont
gomery, Ward & Company, who had
been on strike several months.
At the time of the payment of the
money Noren, according to Young,
was treasurer Of the Chicago fedora
tion Of labor.
Young then told OF attending a con-
ference of labor leaders in Chicago
early in 1905, at whidh Shea, William
Kelley, business agent Of the Coal
Transfers union, Hugh McGee, pre-
sident of the Truck Drivers union,
James Barry, business agent Of the
Express Wagon Drivers union, Jere
miah Mccarthy, business agent Of the
truck drivers and Others were pre-
sent Shea addressed the gathering,
saying that IL the Chicago federation
leaders would furnish the coin he
would furnish the men to aid the
strike of the garment workers.
He said that Noren also made a
speech, saying that if the teamsters
would engage In sympathetic strike
the garment workers woold win their
fight. Young then told Of receiving
81, 500 from Noren, which he divided
between Barry, Shea, McGee, McCar-
thy, Noren and himself Each man
Dhen handed Noren $40 for his trouble.

Mob DESTROYS Tobacco
Warehouse in
Kentucky.

Princeton, KY, Dec. 1.-The tobacco
warehouses Of John Stegor and John
Carr, the latter being connected with
the Imperial Tobacco company Of New
York, were destroyed early today by
a fire kindled by a mob Of masked
men. The loss is estimated at Sl70,-
600.
The mob, which numbered 300 men,
entered Princeton after o'clock, and
seized and disarmed the night mar
shal. The mob then went to the fac
tories and applied the torch.
Masked men stood guard at every
approach, permitting no one to come
near until The buildings were com
pletely enveloped, and help was use
less. A squad of the mob took charge
Of the telephone Office, and no word Of
the affair was permitted to go out.
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control they left Princeton,
going Ia the direction Of Hopkins
Vile, shooting their reyolvers and RI
fles as they went.
When the tlremen finally arrived
there was nothing for them to do.
The work Of the mob is believed to
be in furtherance Of the agitation by.
the tobacco raisers against the tobac.
