KEPT BOY IN A BARN

Randolph, April Estate 5 Attorney
M NJ Wilson was called Friday to
Vershire to prosecute w Bragg on
the charge of cruelty to child. The
complaint was. made by Mr. Fits, town
grand Juror of Vershire. Alexander
Shemmerhorn, 9 years of age, very
small but naturally strong and healthy
was taken two years ago from the home
for children in Burlington by Mr.
Bragg
According to the testimony of the
witnesses one task required of the
child was to saw with a buck saw all
the wood used in Mr. Bragg's home,
and many times his work was kept up
until II O'Clock at night when the ther
mometer registered 20 below zero in
order to furnish supply of wood
sufficient for the needs of the house.
When the little urchin was unable to
saw the required amount of wood he
was not allowed to return to the house
but was obliged to take whatever sleep
and rest he could get with the cows in
the barn.
Another task according to the testi.
mony was to go into the woods and
chop wood, which is hard work for a
strong man, and the lad worked with
out mittens, with shoes and stockings
with such large holes in them that his
feet were exposed to the snow and
weather when the thermometer was
several degrees below zero. The school
teacher testified that the boy
came to school late in November bare
footed and was so sorefooted that he
was obliged to hobbe along instead
of walk Many witnesses testified to
seeing the lad in the dead of winter
shiyering with cold and clad only in
jumper and thin overalls, with shoes
as described and with hands and feet
so chapped and cracked that the blood
ran.
The childs sleeping room was an
attic with no fire, window with six
panes OF glass missing and with not
enough bedclothes for good sized
rats nest was the testimony of the
hired girl who also said that money
sent in the mail for the boy was
appropriated by Mr. Bragg
Mr. Bragg is the owner of some
property and is in very good health.
He was found guilty at this preliminary
hearing and has been bound over to
appear in the Orange county court to
be held in Chelsea in June. The bail
was fixed at 5000 which was furnished
by Mr. Bragg's brother

ARBITRATE
Operators Decline Offer;

TO BRING IN PRESIDENT

NEW YORK, April To- At the Joint
conference of the subcommittee Of
the anthracite coal mine owners and
their employees held here today the
operators declined to accept the arb-
tration plan rs presented by the mine
workers and in its stead presented Il
counter proposition which. If agreed to
by President Mitchell and his men, will
bind each side for more thW two years.
The operators have been working on
the new plan ever since the adjourn
ment OF the joint conference of last
Thursday, ana the inability OF tie
presidents of the hard coal carrying
railroads TO complete minor details
caused poStponemcuts The exact ma
ture of the counter proposition is not
yet known. aS the operators did not
intend to permit il 10 become public
property untll it had been presented TO
the miners.
It is said. however that the offer
made involves an arbitration plan very
different from the one presented 10y the
miners, one that will call for the set
Element of only new grievances. The
operators still maintain the position
that the miners in their demands have
not called attention to anything Jhat
has not already been passed upon by
the anthracite coal strike commission
There is strong impression among
the miners committee that the oper.

Roosevelt be requested 10 summon the
strike commission 10 review the entire
controversy. They decline however.
to indicate how they will receive the
suggestion. The commission is familiar

tlous IN the anthracite regions and
therefore would not have To 20 over
the entire ground as would be- the case

lected
The operators, through a representa-
tive, stated that their general policy
had been decided upon aud that the
minor details Were arranged an il fun
meeting OF the subcommittee prior 10
their conference with the miners.
President Mitchell announced That
the last of the bitumlnous coal oper-
ators in the Pittsburg district who had
held out against the 1903 wage agree
ment had signed the scale. This ac-
ton, he said, clears up the western
Pennsylvania territory and means that
10000 men in that territory. who pro
duce from 35,OO0,000 to 10000 0OO tons
Of soft coal a year, will receive an in

district is the one of which Patrick
Dolan, who voted against the 1903
scale, was president
MIR Mitchell declined to discuss the
situation in the other soft coal states
where the miners are ON strike.
Practically all the miners affiliated
with the United Mine Workers of
