STATE FIRE MARSHAL ItLLS HUN ID
AVOID LOSSES FROM HEATING PLANTS

State Fire Marshal T. NJ. Purtell is
making an effort to inform the peo-
pie of the state of the extent of loss
by fire sustained annually through de-
fective heating apparatus, and of the
ease with which the people may avoid
such losses. He issued bulletin
yesterday on this subject, as follows:
Enormous ire Loss.
The property owners of the state
of Wisconsin have suffered loss dur
ing the last sixty days OF $42,512 due
to poor construction or improper care
OF fiues and stovepipes These start
ling figures are shown by the records
In the fire marshal's office at Madison.
Out of 800 reports received in this
time 63, or an average of over one i.
day, have originated from this source.
These figures resulting from the be-
ginning of cold weather will give some
idea of what an enormous loss may
be expected before the coming OF
warm weather unless precautions are
taken at once, which, while not en-
tirely removing the danger, would
certainly result in very large reduc.
ton in loss. 1t is generally accepted
fact by those who have made the mat
ter study that few minutes devoted
would result in preventing at least
two-thirds of these fires.
Chimney Defects.
1.-THE most common defects in chin
neys are faulty construction through
the use of inferior brick or mortar
which crumble away, leaving cracks
through which sparks may be thrown
into the room or attic The building
of chimney on an insecure base, al
lowing it to settle, causing cracks
which has the same effect. No chin.

New York's bean belt is the western
half of that state.
Here as in Michigan beans have
partly taken the place of wheat as a
staple crop. They have proved more
remuneratiye and they have had the
additional recommendation of improv-
ing the fertility of the soil through
their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air. AS a paper prepared by l..
G. Corbett for the department of agri
culture remarks, it is the beams Pc
culiar distinction to provide food foI
both man and beast, and at the same
time to improve the soil. That makes
it invaluable in scheme of crop
rotation.
To the average American, beans
mean string or snap beans, plucked
when green from the small gardens
or canned in their green state. Thus
produced they yield largely, as mucn
as 200 bushels to the acre, the price
ranging from 81 to SIS bushel ac-
cording to the season and nearness to
a market. Yet the bean means some
thing more. Certain varieties, like
the cowpea, are valuable for grain,
for hay, as good as alfalfa, and for
green manuring unsurpassed. The
kidney, the marrow bean and the pea
are prime foods in their dry state.
Like other of the ancient crops or
mankind, the bean requires more
hand labor than the more recent food
staples. In the advance of farm
science, however. satisfactory harvest
ers and threshers have been devised.
AS an item of diet in this country
beans, will figure more as meat fig-
ures less, and the annual production
is sure to be much enlarged.

of the other great banks which have
branches and agencies all over the
world, to be presented to foreign in
vestors. The Japanese bank will not
do this directly. 1t will split up the
bonds in portions to be distributed in
various countries, as the situation
seems to warrant, and the portions al
lotted to the agencies or correspond
ents of the Japanese banks in those
countries. For instance, some of the
bonds of an electric lighting and

These bonds, by means of the Gus
tomary process, will be offered by the
American bank or house to their Gus
toners through their regular channel,
with the statement that the Japanese
government guarantees the interest
on the bonds. To the average investor
in such securities, this will probably
look pretty good" and he will put his
surplus cash, if better investment
does not just then Offer into the
bonds.
This money goes to Japan, less the

some of the Japanese foreign loans

helps finance the new national system.

CARDINAL ON LABOR.
Gibbons Expresses Strong DisapprovaI
OF The Boycott.


OF The Boycott.
In an artical contributed to the Octo-
Der number of Putnam's Monthly, Car
dinal Gibbons expresses in strong
terms his disapproval of the boycott
as practiced by lobor unions, and also
urges the workingmen of the country
to avoid strikes, and intimidation in
any form. The Cardinal says:
Il am persuaded that the system OF
boycotting, by which members of labor
unions are instructed not to patronize
certain obnoxious business houses, is
not only disapproved by an impartial
public sentiment, but that it does not
commend itself to the more thoughtful
and conservative portion of the guilds
themselves. Every man is free indeed
to select the establishment with which
he wishes to deal and in purchasing
from one in preference to another ne
Is not violating justice. But the case
is altered when, by mandate of the
society, he is debarred from buying
from particular firm. Such a prohi-
bition assails the liberty of the pur-
chaser and the rights Of the seller, and
is an unwarrantable invasion of the
commercial privileges guaranteed by
the government to business concerns.
II such social ostracism were gener-
ally in vogue, a process of retaliation
would naturally follow, the current OF
mercantile intercourse would be
checked. every center of population
would be divided into hostile camps,

Paper Making In Japan.

Consul General H. B. Miller, OF Yo-
kohama, states that considerable ac-
tivity has been shown in the past year
in paper making in Japan. New CON-
panies have been formed and old ones
have been enlarged. The amount OF
capital invested has increased from
less than s5,000,OOo to $13,0O0,00o
Nearly all the machinery used in the
paper mills is of American make. The
reason given for this preference for
American machinery is that 1t is bet
Ger and cheaper than that of other
countries.

pooRMI.. AT THE BANKS.

Most of Them Retired Policemen.
Their Chief Duty to Watch Faces
The man in uniform In the down.
town bank is good deal more than
a signpost. From 8 a. m. until aft
er banking hours he stands there ap-
parently for the sole purpose of d.
recting strangers to the proper win
dows. but there is "A good deal
more that he does, says the New
York Sun.
That is why at the larger bat
there is only one among the doornen
who is not an old policeman. Many
OF thom were detective sergeants,
one was a captain and the majority
of the others were Broadway squad
men.
The chief duty Of these men is to
watch faces and warn The tellers on
persons they suspect. Most OF them
are familiar with the faces OF old
crooks and are able to pick out the
new crooks almost instantly.
The knowledge of faces that some
of these doormen possess Is remark
able. A story is told of George H.
Hewitt, who for thirty-one years has
been the doorman of the First Ma
tional bank, which is typical Of ali
these men,
A man came in who fifteen years
before had been a depositor at the
bank. He had gone TO Europe and
after that lapse OF time had come
back with a heard and fifteen years
more of life on his shoulders. As
soon as he entered the bank Hewitt
was there with his greeting. Coco
morning, Mr.. Farr," az though the
man had been away for only a
week There are probably 10.0ee
men who in the course OF d decade
deal with the First National Hewitt
| knows every one OF them.
There is another duty that these
doormen perform. Often during the
course of the day one of the clerks
is sent out with a large sum Of mon
ey to another bank. The doorman
! always accompanies him to see that
his progress through the crowded
streets is not interrupted by some
crook who knows the value OF the
roll the clerk carries with him.
The Oldest bank doorman in New
York is George II. Hewitt of the
First National bank. In the old
days the police force station men at
many of the larger banks. Hewitt
was one of these men,
Then when the department called
in these men and made the banks
provide their own guards the officers
OF the bank asked Hewitt to leave
the force and stay with them. He has
been there ever since, now moro
than trirty-one years
Another old timer is christopher
Smith II the Merchants bank. Smith
had the post at Broadway and Cham
bers street for eighteen years. There
was not a prominent New Yorker in
the old days that he did not know.
One day President Grant WAS
crossing the street there when
truck came tearing around the
corner. Smith grabbed the president
just in time and saved him from In
jury. The general turned 10 him
with humorous expression on his
face and said:
You are the first man who ever
jerked me around like that"
After that whenever Grant passes
that way he had a cigar for the OFF

Some Interesting Conflicts with the Law.

The amalgamated sheet metal work
.ers' international alliance of Cincin-
natl has been sued for $4,000 dam
ages by an employer The plaintiff
alleges that because he would not
agree to certain conditions of the
union a strike of his employees was
called, his place of business picketed,
and he was therefore prevented from
properly conducting business and
earning customary profits
At the present sitting of the United
States supreme court at Washington
the question as to the liability Of a
labor union under the anti trust law
will possibly confront it. The case at
bar was brought by d. e. Lowe, hat
manufacturer of Danbury, Conn,
against Martin Lawler and 200 other
members of the American federation
of labor. Lowe charged that in send
ing out circulars to its patrons with
the alleged threat that If they did not
cease buying his hats for their trade
they would be put upon the unfair
prosecution under the antitrust law.
He therefore brought suit in Connec-
ticut under that law for $4,000 dam
ages. The case has been certified 10
the supreme court on the enc ques-
tion-whether the plaintiff can main
tain an action under the antitrust law.
Eighteen members of united brew
cry workers local union at Washing
ton, D. c., were indicted recently for
conspiracy by the grand jury. They
are charged with maliciously and un-
lawfully combining and conspiring to
injure and destroy the trade and
business of several bottling firms be-
cause the latter refused to grant de-
mands of the local union men for in
creased pay and shorter hours. The
union men were indicted jointly upon
the charge of conspiracy. The indict-
ment is of lengthy nature, and gives
a history of the dispute between the
bottlers and the brewery workers,
which began early In 1906 All the
men were held to await the action of
the grand jury by the police court in
April, 1906, and gave bail. 1t is as
serted that the unions attempted to
limit and restrict business dealings of
persons and firms by declaring GER
tain employers of workmen to be "un-
fair" and unfair to organized labor"
in cases of noncompliance by such
employers with union demands.

In the circuit court at Saginaw,
Mich, before Judge c. III. Gage, judg-
ment was entered in favor of the
plaintiffs are printers and the case
Hynan VS.. the city of Saginaw. The
planters are printers and the case
had its origin in the refusal of the
city controller to accept job of print
ing because it did not bear the union
label as required by the city charter.
The contention of the plaintiff that
the charter provision requiring the
label was in violation OF the consti-
tuition of the United States, fourteenth
amendment, and in violation Of the
state constitution, was fully sustained
in the opinion.
