the dictum of the Board of Food and
Drug Inspection, charged with enforce

The ruling is by far the most generally
important that has yet been made under
this act, and it is certainly TO be fol-
lowed by an avalanche of protests, Pc

the food manufacturers. But there IS
small chance that the fuss will avail
anything.
Some Get Period of Grace.
The decision means that a long list

be dropped at once; others are given a
period OF grace because Of the great

forcing, in the midst Of the canning and
preserving season, a revolutionary set
Of regulations. 1t would be ruinous TO
many food manufacturers. But after

RESCUED BROTHER
Young Hero, Seeking
Position, Learns Power
of the Press.

It's a good business proposition to be
hero. At least Kenneth Hines, OF
1915 Q street northwest, has found It so.
Kenneth is the thirteen-year-old lad
who rescued his brother from Rock
Creek a few days ago. Yesterday he
was one OF a crowd OF forty applicants
for a position in the office of the Busi-
ness Science University, on Fourteenth
street. AS soon as Kenneth's name was
mentioned and ne stood in front of the
manager, the latter recognized him as
the boy whose picture mad appeared in
The Times as the young hero who had
shown the pluck to pull his older
brother, Leslie, from the water.
Kenneth was given the position with
out question, and reports from the
school are to the effect that he is max

FAMILY
MAY Be HAILED
BEFORE COURT
Father of Killed Man in
Frenzy of Rage at
Verdict.

LA PLATA. Md, July i3.-Fhreats by
the Posey faction against Mrs. Mary
Bowie and her son Henry. who were ac-
quilted in five minutes of the slavinR Of
Hubert Posey last January. not unlikely
viii result IN the entire family being
haled TO court and put under bond to
keep the peace. The Poseys. a most de-
termined set OF men. have shown a pc
hgerent mood since the verdict was re-
turned by the jury and prospects OF a
feud are dark
Although the POseys and Bowies are
related by marriage, Mrs. Posey being q
slster-in-law TO Mrs. Bowie. the most
deadly enmity sprang into being when
Hubert was slain near Indian Head
Since then the bad feeling has increased
and there are those who predict blood
shed when members of the two families
meet.
Father in Frenzy.
Hugh Posey father of the slaughtered
man, was in frenzy of rage when the
verdict was announced. His face turned
ashy white and then blue. the pupils OF
his eyes were dilated and he seemed on
the verge OF insanity. In terms more
emphatic than polite he expressed his
opinion OF the jury and States Attorney
l.. Allison Wilmer, whom he accused of
violating their sacred oaths TO uphold
the law.
The enraged father was particuIarIv
angry because of Col Winners failure
TO attack the good name OF isis" Bowie
because OF whose alleged ruin at the
hands Of Hubert Posey the homicide wa
committed. IT is known that the father
and mother of young Posey completely
turned him against the girl he had prom
ised TO marry.
Attacked Girls Character.
Since the shooting occurred, the Poseys
have insisted that they would sweep
away PrisciIa's character with testj-
mony from several young men. Colonel
Wilmer had planned the attack against
the girl. but the court ruled that testi-
mony of that character was not com
petent to go to the jury.
The father also showed some heat
because Colonel Wilmer failed to asI,

FARMERS REVOLT
IN RUSSIA OVER
LANDQUESTIONS
Peasants Venting Anger
on Estate Holders and
Landlords.

ST. PETERSBURG, July I3-south-
western Russia is once more in the
throes of an agrarian uprising. From
the Black sea to the western boundary
the peasants are in revolt. and are vent
ing their anger on landlords and estate
holders.
Troops are being hurried into the
provinces OF Kherson, Kief, Podolia,
and Bessarabia- Clashes between the
peasants and the meager forces now
present are hourly expected.
Landlords Left Homeless.
PiHaging and conhasrations hava
marked the progress of the uprising
Scores of landlords have been left
homeless. after being deprived of all
their possessions. Most Of them were
warned not to return TO the provinces
under penalty Of death.
Bands of peasants armed with scythes.
pitchforks, clubs, and time-wcrn guns
are marching through the affected dis
tricts attacking every estate in their
path. Hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars worth OF property has been de-
stroyed. Several lives have also been
lost In the frequent clashes between
the peasants and soldiers or gendarmes.
Peasants Mutilate Cattle.
Cattle and stock have been butchered
or mutilated by the peasants. The
armies marching through the provinces
live By what they take from pillaged
estates. Stock which cannot be used is
ruthlessly killed to ruin the owners.
In the government of Perm. on the
Siberian border, a condition of affairs
similar to that in southwestern Russia
exists. Soldiers have been hurried there
TO prevent the disorders spreading to
other governments.
Gendarmes Defeated.
In encounters between the revolution
airy peasants and troops. the latter have
suffered severely. Gendarmes were -
feated in a fight at Vernitzen. in which
several were killed on both sides.
The province of Khersen, bordering on
the Black sea, Is in a state OF complete
revolt Odessa, the chief city or the
province, is filed with troops. There
are Russian warships in the harbor OF
Odessa, but the crews of these vessels
cannot be relied upon IN case of a gen
eraI uprising Many of them have taken
part IN previous mutinles, and would, ii
IS feared, join the revolutionists.
Anxiety in st. Petersburg.
The whole countryside is practically
under military rule, but the presence
of soldiers has had little effect. There
Is grave fear in ST. Petersburg that the
present demonstration is but preliminary
to a larger revolution. 1t is known that
the leaders have been planning a final
conn with great care. One of their plans
has been to encourage uprising in the
rural districts in order to divert as many
troops as possible from the great CEN
ters of population.
The propaganda of revolution having
been spread extensively through the
army, the Czar regards the situation.
with great apprehension There have
been several conferences between the
car and Premier Stolypin. The mili-
tarv heads have been summoned TO
Peterhof to take counsel. Guards around
the Cars house have again been in
creased, and il is evident that great pre-
cautions are being taken.

WORK BEGINS!
Houses For Dam LabOrers
Being Built.

The contract TO build the Connecti-
cut river dam has been awarded. The
statement to that effect made in last
week s Reformer was confirmed last
evening by Henry |. Hartman of Hyde
Park, Mass, one Of the principal pro
moters of the enterprise in which
every resident of BrattleborO and the
surrounding territory is so deeply in
tercsted and which means so much Tor
the industrial future of this section OF
the Connecticut valley. Mr.. Hartman
and several bond house representatives
came to Brattleboro last evening and
started this morning for the site OF
the dam where they will spend the
day. To a representative of The Re
former Mr. Hartman stated last even
ing that the dam contract had been
awarded and that formal announce,
ment of the firm receiving the award
together with the names of the com
panies to which different portions OF
the work had been sublet would be
given out next week. Mr.. Hartman
also stated that within a few weeks

enterprise under way. A force of men
Yesterday began erecting shanties on
the Stebbins meadow in Vernon for
the occupancy of the Italian laborerS
and as soon as the habitatlons are
completed the laborers will begin to
arrive. Several engineers have been
at work during the past week making
/ borings for the purpose of completing
the detailed working plans and de-
termining the exact location Of the
dam and power house. 1t has not yet
been decided whether a canal will be
cut across the neck of Cooper's point.
1t may be that a tunnel will be con
structed instead and it is also possible
that the engineers will decide on an,
other plan whereby the use of a canal
or tunnel at that point will be obviat-
ed entirely. These details, however
will be decided within the next few
DAYS and will in no way interfere with
other portions of the work, Mr.
Hewins, the construction superintend'
ent, will make Brattleboro his resi-
dence for a year at least and will bring
his family here if he can find a suitable
residence.
Charles Cushman of this town began
yesterday to repair the raft which was
used by the engineers last summer in
making borings at the head of the
island and the structure will be float
ed down the river for use at the dam
site. Next week The Reformer will be
able to announce the details regarding
the dam contract and other news OF
interest regarding the project.
