SERIOUS CONDITION
ICEWAG0N DRIVERS AND GAR

Great Fear of Epidemic From Heaps of
Garbage-NearIy 800 Carloads a
Day and Six Days Behind Now
1900 Men CONTRACTED for in Philadel.
phia-Dlsinfectants Scattered.

New York City is experiencing an
impressive demonstration as to what
extent the comfort of the millions is
dependent upon the handful, compare
lively, of citizens ordinarily engaged
in collecting garbage and delivering
ice. Two thousand garbage collectors
and an equal number of ice wagon
drivers are on strike anu the city is
il, peril of an epidemic of disease.
The garbage situation is the more
serious and unless speedily remedied
: the possibility of evil is startling.
Nearly 755 carts are required to re-
move each days accumulation, and the
work is six days behind.
The chief difficulty encountered by
the health department is that the men
who work for wages cannot honorably
take the places of strikers. Three
dollars a day and permanent employ
ment is offered, but has attracted few.
Efforts to get men from other cities
have now been made and recruits are
promised from Philadelphia.
The healt-. department took hold
late Friday and since has used its
police powers vigorously and it's emer-
gency fund of $4,000 without stint, but
so far has been unable to meet condi-
lions effectually.
The officials of the board Of health
intimated that private citizens would
be doing public duty if they became
garbage collectors. The mayor has de
clared that the law does not permit
dealing with civil service employees
who are on strike, and the street
cleaning department has refused to
formally entertain the demands of the
men. 1t was intimated that a settle
ment might be arranged legally.
Demands of the Men.
The men hold to their original de
mands, the most important of which
are:
THAT As hours constitute a weeks
work and that overtime be paid at the
rate of % cents per hour.
2-That no fines be imposed without
the opportunity for a hearing.
3-That a system of suspension be
practiced instead of fines.
Monday the situation grew hourly
worse. What work was done was il
the vicinity of Chinatown, on the cas-
side. Meantime the waste accumu
lated in other streets. In places re
fuse was piled high and elsewhere

AUTO DIVES INTO LAKE.

Feet High.

Ortonville, Minn.-July 1.-While
going at a high rate of speed an auto
mobile containing three persons sud
denly swerved and went over sheer
embankment of 40 feet into Big Stone
lake. One of the passengers was prob
ably fatally hurt.
Those in the automobile were Chas.
and Walter Bucholz, prominent mer-
chants of Appleton, and a year old
son of Walter. They were driving
along the lake shore road which at the
point where the accident hopened runs
along the edge of a bluff. At the high
est point the machine suddenly got be-
yond the control Of the driver, swerved
and went directly over the embank-
ment. The heavy car did not turn over
as it fell, but landed in 20 feet OF
water. Charles was struck by the
steering wheel and received internal
injuries which may prove fatal. Wal
ter was badly cut and bruised and is
in a serious condition. The boy es
capped unhurt.

Miners Federation
Favors Socialism

Denver, Ool., July AFTER long
fight, which has threatened to disrupt
the Western Federation Of Miners in
the fight with the Industrial Workers
of the World, the miners Monday went
ON record as favoring socialism by the
adoption of a preamble TO the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the organization.
The vote was 2S3 to Sc. The preamble
follows:
"First-We hold that there is a
class Struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic condi-
lions
Second We affirm the economic
condition of the producer to he that he
is exploited of the wealth he produces,
being allowed to retain barely sufficient
for his necessities.
"Third-We hold that the class strug
gle will continue until the producer is
recognized as the sole master of his
product.
'Fourth-We assert that the work
ing class, and it alone, can and must
achieve its own emancipation.
"Fifth-We hold, finally, that an
industrial union and the concerted po-
litical action of all wage earners is the
only method of attaining this end.
"Sixth - Therefore, we the wage
slaves employed in and around the
mines, mills and smelters of the world,
have associated in the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, the mining department
of the Industrial Workers of the
World"
1t is the announced intention of the
leaders to call convention at Chicago
for the organization of an industrial
and political party, which will place q
ticket in the nomination for the next
presidential election.
The federation and the brewery
workers union, it is expected, viii
form the nucleus oft he new party.
Before its final adoption the new
preamble goes to the local unions for 8
, referendum vote. The strikes anC
, l.ckouts committee presented repor
which favored the continuing the
strike in the Cripple Greek distric
until the mineowners' card system
, now in vogue there is abolished.
The convention adopted the report.
The delegates voted down the pro
posed amendment to the constitution
admitting cooks, bartenders, dish
washers and such classes of laborers a
are only indirectly connected wit
mining, into the mining department o
the Industrial Workers of the Worl
of the Western Federation of Miners
This action was taken after long de
q bate by vote.
An amendment to the constitution
|, wasa dopted whereby two-thirds vot
!, instead of three iourths of the mem
" bers of local union shall be necessar
before a strike is decided upon.

NEW DEFENSE FOR CRIME.
Psychic Epilepsy Is the Unique
Plea.

Plea.
DR.. Elmore E. Elliott of New York
has escaped the meshes of the law
through a unique plea. He had been
arrested for brutally assaulting, with
out provocation, a man and his wife
on the public street. Psychic epilepsy,
defined as acute epilepsy, without any
external manifestations, was the de-
tense successfully offered.
Dr. Elliott in his own behalf, testi-
fed that he had been subject to at
tacks of psychic epilepsy since child
hood, and that during these attacks
he had no knowledge of his acts or
recollection of them upon recovery.
Medical testimony was offered to
sustain this plea, and the prisoner was
discharged.
Lawyers who heard the defense and
members of the district attorneys
staff continued to discuss DR.. Elliott's
strange statement long after the ply
stefan had left court. They agreed
that its scope was practically limitless
and asserted that psychic epilepsy
would undoubtedly prove a successful
defense even for murder.
1T is the best defense l ever heard
and the best defense in the world

In medieval days the mandrake was
supposed to Shrek or groan when up
rooted, the following lines are taken
from the oldest witchsong extant:
81 last night lay all alone
On the ground to hear the mandrake
groan
And plucked him up though he grew
full low,
And as so did, the cock did crow :"
The shrleks Of the mandrake were
supposed to be so horrible that those
hearing them went mad. It was Gus
tomary, therefore, in gathering the
plant not only to employ a dog but
also to stuff tow in the ears. This Gu
rious notion was explained by Newton
In his Herbal to the Bible By the
fact that the mandrake was popularity
supposed to grow spontaneously under
a gallows, engendered by the decom-
posed body of the hanged man and
was therefore endowed with the spirit
OF the culprit. 1t seems probable, how
ever, that, by some mental twist, the
shrieks had become transferred to the
plant from those delirious with it.

FINE ARTS FOR NATION.
Movement for a Great Department of
the Capital.


New York-The development of art
in the United States is forecasted in
a movement which has begun through
out the country for the establishment
at Washington Of a national depart
ment of fine arts, the head of which
shall be a member of the cabinet.
Plans for the national department of
fine arts, which have just become
public, include the establishment Of
an athaneum, which shall have con-
troll over a school of arts, and con-
servatory Of music and the erection
OF art galleries by the government in
many cities throughout the country.
Five large colleges are behind the
movement, which is being directed by
several leading architects in the
United States. Senator Newlands OF
Nevada, it is said, will bring up a
bill for the establishment of an art de-
parement at the next session of con-
gress if those who are interested in
the fine arts movement believe that
the time is ripe for seeking congress
