Would Extermlnato All Rats.

Prof" j. D. Smith of Cleveland
wants TO rid the United States of rats
mice, cockroaches and vermin Tic
says he can do 1t by the use of certain
chemicals In handling these chem
calls he has at various times made
himself very sick.
Some day they will kill me-" he
says, "but ! am not afraid II am
able to carry out my plans, ] shall be
satisfied"
AS he talks he drags packages OF
chemicals from his pockets--blue Wit
riol and acids of various kinds. His
hands are burned through the hand
ling of them, but he fondles them az
fectionately and does not mind.
If the city of Cleveland would give
the professor $4,000 year, he says
he would make a vermin and rodent
free community Smith not onls
Stays these pests; he annihilatea
them. BY playing on their appetitoa
he lures them to an awful doom. To
the professor, dead rat is as dan.
gerous as a live one. Each. he dc.

Therefore he has prepared chem.
ical mixture which will slowly in.
cinerate the rat As soon as the rat
partakes of the chemical an mex,
tinguishable fire is lit in his interior.
The fire burns as relentlessly as a
theater villain pursues. There Is no

he has gathered remnants OF food
into pail he adds purple and
white powder. Then some lemon. AS
soon as the rat partakes of this, he is
on his way to private fireworks

Of Miners in Pittsburg
District Is Probable.
OVER $4,000 MEN
Employed by The Pittsburg Coal. Co.
in so Mines May be Called Out
to Enforce the Wage Scale.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The possibility
of a strike, participated in by all the
miners in the Pittsburg district, mum
bering over $4,000 men, became ap-
parent last night when the following
statement was issued by Francis
Feehan, president of District No ),
United Mine Workers of America:
"fhe district executive board of the
United Mine Workers of Pittsburg
has instructed me to stop all miners
working who are employed by the
Pittsburg Coal Co., in event of the
company not Immediately fully com.
plying with all the provisions of the
wage scale agreement"
President Feehan's authorization
came after an all day meeting of the
executive board. Feehan said the
strike had been ordered because the
Pittsburg Coal Co. had persistently
violated the agreement with the min.
ers and the union, and that officials
of the Miners union had become tired
of the delay in rectifylng the wrongs.
The situation looks serious. Should
the order to strike be given, 30 mines
will be closed Immediately.
The trouble over the alleged viola
tlons Of the wage agreement has been
in progress for many months. The
first open rupture occurred recently
when four mines OF the Pittsburg
Coal Co, In Youghiogheny valley were
ordered closed by the union officials,
because the eight-hour law and agree
ment was being violated. These
mines have been idle for some time
and when the officials of the Pitts
burg Coal Co. showed no inclination
to adjust the trouble, It was decided
to make the strike order general.
The executive board by its action
last night has placed the matter en-.
tirely in the hands of President Fee
han. He is authorized to proceed
without further meetings of the board
and call the strike unless the com.
pany aecedes to the demands of the
miners.
