GUfRRY IS GRABBED BY

Another Black Convict In

TWO YEARS MORE is GIVEN HIM
Negro Convict Who Robbed Sleeping
Guard And ESCapedWaS Caught

TWO YEARS MORE IS GIVEN HIM

Earnest Query, fleetfooted Sumter
county convict, was sent back to the
changing yesterday with two adj
ditional years tackled on to his original
sentence, one for escaping and the
other for robbing the ''boss man"
while the latter sweetly slumbered.
Query escaped several months ago
while the gang was stationed down
in the Fifteenth district.
At the time he had only six months
more to serve, but six months in the
Sumter county changing probably
seemed like an eternity to Query, as
to others doing time there.
Query added insult to injury on the
night of his departure by entering the
tent of the slumbering guard and,
divesting himself of convict stripes put
On the garb of the boss man" includ
ing his low neck shoes, billed shirt and
other articles of raiment.
Negro like, Query did not go far, and
was located in Cordele.
He was brought over yesterday, and
the two years added to his sentence by
Judge Crisp will ensure some good
work from Query if he can hold his
job for that time.

COTTON.

New York, May13-Mr. James Patten
of Chicago, probably the most success
full operator in the commodity markets
of America, has today jocularly an
nounced that he will not shave unit
wheat is $1.5O bushel, and cotton sells
at IA cents pound
While the announcement has created
more or less amusement, it has attrac-
tod wide attention because of all the
Chicago operators, Mr.. Patten is most
conspicuously known to be man who
means what he says. The truth is,
that the American speculative public
isjust commencing to appreciate 1.-TWO
facts; spring has made the production
| Of large cotton or ceriaI crops, nexg
year, an impossibility, that the in
cresaing gold production is creating a
period of practical imitation. Express
ed IN units of labor, the cost of produc-
ing gold isn't today probably one half
of what 1t was twenty years ago.
Expressed in units of labor, the Icost
of agricultural production is much
higher than it was twenty years age.
1t follows, Individually, that the val
ue of agricultural products, as espress-
ed in terms of gold, must advance.
The mining camp where flour sells at
$40 barrel because gold is in album
dant supply and flour difficult to OBJ
fol &c. h,,A 80
tional situation that will presently be
universally recognized. So far as cot
ton is concerned, it seems to me that
the advance has only just commenced.
The visible supply of American cotton,
at the end of the present season. will
probably be less than the worlds re-
quirements for month. The crop is
fully three weeks late, and the present
crop will have to supply thirteen
months consumption.
1t is now demonstra BILE fact that
nothing less than an American crop of
Ii, 500, 900 bales will prevent a situa-
ton graduated from scarcity to famine
in the degrees, by which the next crop
fails to reach this figure. Good judges
in the south, and men whose opinions
are sane, have confidently expressed
themselves to me as believing that
next years crop cannot possibly be
$4,000, 900 bales. Personally I do not
believe that Mr.. Patten will have to
wait very long before he can take a
good, clean shave.

The twelfth annual reunion of the Pa
cific Islanders and missionaries took place
yesterday afternoon at Lagoon. Fully
1900 people witnessed the games, and
heard the songs that made up most
successful program for the day. The
crow is said to have been the largest
that has attended the gatherings for the
past three years.
About thirty South Sea Islanders were
present from the colony at Joseph, In
Skull valley, and as many more came
from Murray. They were decorated with
the usual string of brilliantly colored
flowers around their necks that is pc
culiar to the people of the islands. Be
sides the islanders there were many Jap
anese converts to Mormonism, who took
part in the celebration.
The program was started off at o'clock

BELL WILL HIRE
HON-UNION GIRLS
Places of Butte Operators to
Be Filled Unless They Re-
turn to Work.

Striking operators of the Rocky Noun

must return to work soon or their places
will be filled by non-union girls under the
protection of the federal court injunction,
according to General Manager d. S. Muir
ray of the company, who returned yes
terday after a visit of three weeks In
Montana Mr.. Murray also brought an
announcement that several new in1unc-
ton suits against various labor organiZa-
lions and individuals had been filed by
the company in the federal court at
Helena.
AS the situation is in Montana now
the federal court has granted an lnJunc-
ton prohibiting boycotting or any otheT
interference with our business against
labor organizations that have been en-
deavoring to keep employees from working
for us, the court even saying that they
cannot use epithets such as the word
'scab'" said Mr. Murray. This case was
brought against the Montana Federation
Of Labor and certain local unions at Llv-
ingston. 1t therefore applies to the fed
Grafton throughout the state and to local
unions as far as Livingston is concerned
Following this we brought other injunc-
ton suits in the federal court against
eighteen labor organizations and about
fifty individuals, these suits applying TO
Butte, Anaconda, Great Falls, Helena
and Billings.
I'm all our Interviews with the labor
people we have expressed Willingness
to try to reach some agreement apply
ing to Montana itself, but we would not
under any circumstances take up negotia-
lions with the Montana people for diff
ficulties in other states
I'm each case when the operators went
on strike, before we replaced them, they
had an opportunity to get their old posi-
lions back and had certain time FOR ac-
ceptance, after which we filled vacancies
as applications came, and we are now
working normally at all places except
Butte, where we have only toll service.
If the Butte operators do not return TO
work soon their positions will be forfeit
ed and their places will be filled. L left
the matter open for a few days because
! the influence of various unions of Butte
on these operators Is, of course. very
strong, but / am inclined to believe the
| operators will stand out against this in
! fluence when they know that we can re-
| place them and that under the decision
of the federal court we shall be protected
against interference with our business"

CUT OUT THE LATIN WORDS

Plain English Used in Labelling

Washington, Aug. 14.-Plain, everyday
barnyard English, and no high-falutin'
Latin for Tama Jim Wilson. The secre-
tary of agriculture has given a rude shock
to the sculptors who heretofore have
been wont to embellsh architecture and
categorical designs with inscriptions sug-
costing linguistic association with the old
masters and the classics. He has even
gone so far as 10 compel the stonecut-
ters to rechisel me inscriptions on the

which, when finished. will have cost
about 100000 is now nearing compile
ton, and the secretary is taking as much
interest in its progress as though 1t were
designed for a country nome for himself.
On the north shore are four pediments,
in each of which are a male and fe-
male figure, seated with a shield be-
tween them. On these shields are in
scribed the four words "Fructus," "Ce-
reales, ''FOrestes' and Flores.
A few days before leaving Washington
for the summer the head of the depart
ment came into the office of his assist
ant and friend, DIR. Beverly 7. Galloway,
who is also deeply interested in the plans
for the building, and in the course of
their conversation the pediments wore
considered. These are in full view of DR..
Galloway's office
In glancing at them and in looking
at the photographs that had just been
taken, Secretary Wilson asked:
Doctor what do these words mean!
'Fructus,' what on earth is that?'
why, that's Latin for fruit, and the
others mean cereals, flowers and forest, "
replied the scholarly Galloway.
''WelI why in - don't we say so
then, and cut out this foolish Latin?
was the prompt reply.
Orders were then and there given thai
the stonecutters Grace the offensive words
and substitute up-to-date UNITED States.
DIR. Galloway closed the incident By re-
marking that 1t was just as well tc
change them, as there was no such Latir
word as ''forestes" anyway, and that, Al
least would have to be changed.
