perhaps, read the same with bene.

THE first annual meeting of dele.
gates from the Minnesota CONNER
cial bodies, at which federation of
commercial clubs will be formed,
promises to be an exceedingly live
and interesting session. Several
matters of exceptional importance
are to be considered, first OF which
will he the formulation of simple
and practical plans for meeting the
catalOyue-hOnse evil. 1t il believed
that the addresses to be delivered,
and plans which will be outlined
during the sessions of the fedora
tion, will he of such nature as to
make an effective joint campaign
against catalogue houses possible.
A second auhj ect Of equal import
anre is that of local advertising,
and advertising the resources and
advantages Of the northwest. The
Town Crier's Club of st. Paul, an
organization of seventy working
advertising managers and experts,
working with other bodies Of adver-
tising experts, is now preparing
suggestions for the consideration
of the federation which will EN-
brace a simple, inexpensive and ef
fective system of advertising suita.
BILE for the use OF the smaller COM
mercial bodies throughout the
state, and a broader joint campaign
for the sole purpose Of advertising
the agricultural resources, cheap
farm lands and rural opportunities
the state of Minnesota affords. The
joint opinion of more than two hun
dred advertising experts, controll.
ing the expenditure Of several mil
lions Of dollars annually for adver-
tising, will he embodied in this re-
port. 1t is considered very prOba
be that the officers Of the new fed
Grafton will tie chos en entirely from,
the state at large. excluding all Of
the larger cities. 1t is believed that
such men will best be able to direct
the activities Of the federation along
lines best calculated for the ad-
vancement and development of
Minnesota. The St. Paul CONNER
cial Club, the city advertising or.
ganization and other public bodies

ANSWER IS FILED
Pennsylvania Companies Make a General Denial 10 Charges
 of Government.

Philadelphia, Aug 31.--The Read
 ing Go, the Philadelphia and Read ing railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co, today filed their answers to the suit of the federal government, to break up the alleged monopoly in the anthra- cite coal regions of this state. The answers of the three companies of which George M. Baer is president, were a general denial of the govern ment's allegations. They go into the first great strike in the hard coal re- gions and their relations to the presi- dential campaign in 1900. when Will liam Mckinley was elected. It is de- clared that the agreement to advance the price of coal was brought about in 1900 by the violence and intini- dation of the strikers: by the failure of the United States government and of the state of Pennsylvania to cn- force the laws and protect the coal companies: and the importunities of the late Marcus Hanna, who. it Is al- legged, was anxious to end the strike of the miners, on account of the ap- preaching presidential election.

The travellers first view of Venice as he crosses the lagoon comprises Ia smoking chimneys; the moon, seen from the Lido. rises from a filthily thickened horizon; Verona has bou- quet of active chimneys near her sta tion; Brunnelleschi's dome at Flor ence and the quaint tower of her Palazzo vecchio stand aloft against horrible brown sky; the former orange gardens of Genoa are deep in dirt, grime and fog" for the making of soap.

 A Manila rope properly laid and fabricated, is as strong. weight for weight. as steel; that Is. a steel rod weighs about eight times as much as a manila rppe of the same diameter, and has about eight times the strength. the strengths being propor. tioned to the weights. When used for transmission purposes 1t has been found that a manila rope one inch ia diameter Is equal to a double leather belt two five-eights inches in width, 90 that three such ropes are very nearly equal to an -elght.inch double belt. A twoinen rope. says Gas sier's Magazine. vill transmit as much power as a tenInch leather belt, while the loss from stiffness and creep are estimated as only about one half with the rope what they are with the belt

15 DEAD IN A CRASH
Cars Met on a Curve Owing 10 Mix-Up of Orders 50 Were
 Injured.

Mattoon, H., Aug. 31.-Fifteen persons were killed and about fifty injured to-day in head on collision between an inter-urban express train, consisting of motor car and trail- CT, and traction car, on the Mat toon & Charleston electric line, at a sharp curve, one mile west of Char leston, Ill. A confusion of orders re- ceived over the telephone is said to have been the cause of the accident.
 The cars approached each other at high speed and the impact was so ter rife that the motor car and the trail- CT were telescoped by the traction car. Few passengers had time to es- cape by jumping. Most of the pas sengers were going to the Coles county fair at Charleston.
 Mattoon sent special cars to the wreck, but the dead and injured were brought to the morgue and the hospi- tai. Several of the injured may die.
 The dead: Neil Fugate, Gays,I Thomas Weakley. Mattoon, Ill.,, Will liam Nelson, North Okawa, Ill, Char les Nelson, young son of William, Howard Cole, Cooks Mills, H.. boy; Harold Cole, boy, brother of Howard: Zack Vendeventer, Mattoon, Edward Reynolds, Paradise, H., Albert Smith Mattoon, w.

PARTY MEN JUMPED.
And Dog Warden Just Appointed is
 Not an Hector.

The harsh things said regarding
 the appointment of man to the of
 flee of deputy coroner. who had been
 a resident of Waterbury but a very short time, were decidedly modest compared with what one now hears
 about the new dog warden. whose
 name 1t appears is not among the list of electors of this town, although
 he has lived here for a long time White with rage and almost exhaust ed from a bitter attack upon the re- publican party for this and other things of a similar nature.a very good citizen closed his speech this after noon as follows: This sort of thing simply penalizes citizenship and puts a premium on neglect to comply with one of the most sacred duties that comes to every man in a free coun- try" He said some other things that wouldn't look good in cold type and remarked as he walked away that while it took him the greater portion of his life time to find out what the republican party is made of he was glad to know 1t now. Of course it will not ia any way impair the efi- eiency of the dog warden not to be a voter. but just the same the fact that it is understood that he isn't has touched a sensitive cord and people who didn't want the job -for them selves. but for their friends are rais- ing the deuce about it not because they care who has 1t. but fearing a sort Of tumult among the rank and hle of the republican electors. many of them are saying that if you want 10 stand any show Of getting a plum you must keep clear of the registrar of voters

 Attorneys for Father Murphy gave notice of an appeal.

DEAD AT BOSTON
Archbishop Williams, Dean of Catholic Church Stricken on
 Returning From Visit.

1 Boston, Mass, Aug 31.-Death came shortly before o'clock last night to the Most Rev John J. Will
 Hams, archbishop of the Boston dio- cese. dean of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church irl America and for generation or more the spiritual head of that faith in New England.
 Archbishop Williams was S5 years old. Following a recent visit at Lake Hemlock, N. Y., at the summer home of Bishop McQuaid of the Rochester. diocese. the venerable pre- late became seriously i'll with stom- ach trouble, with which he had long been afflicted. He gradually became worse. Although some announce ment of the archbishop's illness had been made earlier in the week, 1t was not until yesterday afternoon that alarm was publicly expressed re- garding his condition.
 The last sacraments of the church were administered yesterday by the Rev Dr John. T. Mullen, the rector of the cathedral. Tn the early even- ing it was announced that the arch bishop's condition was very low and that his demise was only T matter or hours. From then on he gradually passed away, dissolution being so gradual that the attending physi- clans were not positive Of the, very moment when the end came. It was between $50 and 9 o'clock.
 At the rrelates bedside, at his home on tho corner of Harrison ave- nue and Union park. there were present when he died many promi- nent clergymen with whom he had been intimate friends. including Bishop Edward P. Allen of Mobile. Ala; Right Rev Mgr Denis O'Calla- han of St Augustine's church, South Boston, and Rev Dr Mullen.
 Archbishop Williams was born in this city April 27, 1922. He began his studies at the cathedral parochial school here and completed them in Montreal. lie took coarse in the ology at the seminary of St SulpicsS in Paris and was ordained priest in |1S45 in that city. He returned to Boston almost immediately and be- gan his work in the priesthood as as- sistant rector at the cathedral of the Holy Cross. which position he |held until rS55, when he was made |rector. Two years later he went to |St James's church. also of this city, but returned to the cathedral in 1866 lss bishop of Boston. He was ere
 Ated archbishop when the see became
 metropolitan in~1S75. When Arch bishop Williams undertook the direc- |tion of the affairs of the church in this city the denominations was weak in numbers and the remarkable growth since that time has been largely due to the work of organiza- |tion he planned.
 The infirmities. of age made it three years ago 10 have an assistant appointed and Right Rev Dr William H. O'connell, bishop of Portland, was elevated to the posi- ton of archbishop coacjutor. Arch bishop O'Connell succeeds the de-
 ceased prela.e at the head of the
