Double Wages and
Free Board Prom
iSed to Men.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 22.-The
Postal Telegraph Company operated
its wires with a small force of men,
and its wires were not molested.
The Western Union, however, was
greatly troubled by operators at
way stations along the lines opening
their keys and otherwise interfer-
ing with traffic.
According TO information received
here, the Western Union has a force
Of strike breakers on the way.
Ask Police Protection.
The company has applied for police
protection and already has secured
Pullman sleepers ana diners from the
Southern Pacific railroad in which TO
quarter and feed their employessat Oak
land.
Superintendent Jaynes has posted no
tice 10 the effect that all operators re-
manning with the company will be paid
double salary, boarded and lodged free
and given ample protection IN the per
fOrmance Of their duties.
General superintendent Erank Jaynes.
Of the Western Union, said today:
Statement of Superintendent.
I'VE will not deal with the CONNER
cial TeleEraphers' Union. We never
have Disseminated in favor Of or
against members Of the union We
have hired our telegraphers regardless
OF their sfhliation with any labor or
ganiza ton. and we never have asked
an employe whether ne belonged TO the
union. We have been willing TO deal
with our employees as employees but
never with the union. I believe that If
the men had agreed 20 confer with us
as employees their demands could have
been satisfactorily adjusted
MIR. Small called and was told that
the company would not confer with him

BURIED ALIVE,

WEST CHESTER. Pa. June % Only
lingering doubt and the desire Of his
friends TO believe his protestations Of in
nocencs early today prevented an at
tack upon Irwin Lewis. who is under
arrest charged with burying alive his
1ive-year-old stepdaughter, Mary Rob
bins Newlin. whose body was taken
from a rude grave in the presence of
Lewis himself. a great crowd OF men.
and more than 2oC women
The discovery Of the buried body of
the child and the absolutely definite de
termination of the autopsy physicians
that the little girl was buried alive and
that her death was caused by smother
ing. has aroused the countryside 70 the
greatest excitement.
Lewis. the stepfather, was leading q
search for supposed kidnapers when in
formed that the body had been found.
He showed little emotion at drst, but
later broke down and walled his inno-
cence.
Mrs. Lewis is in a critical condition
at the home Of a neighbor- Realizing
the seriousness Of her condition every
effort is being made to keep the details
from her.
NnlluS mead IN BAG
The child's head was wrapped in a
rough burlap bag, and hemp cord was
fastened about the neck The physi-
clans said the string was not fastened
tightly, and that death could not have
resulted from strangulation.
II is the belief Of Prosecutor McEIree.
OF Chester county, that the bag was
thrown over the child's head from be-
hind, and she was thrown into the
grave and buried, being unable 70 cry
out.
Lewis dug the grave several weeks
ago, telling the farm hands he intended
TO fill il. The baby disar rDeared sun
day. No mention was made Of her ab-
sence until Monday William Shelley
yesterday noticed that the hole had besn
nlled- He got another farm hand 20
a about one foot of earth when they came
upon the patent leather belt of the
child. Immediately they threw back
the earth and went to inform the pros
eCutOr.
Child's Father Vanished.
The birth of little Mary has long been
cloud in the Newlin family, of which
Mrs Lewis is a member. Edna Newlin
was employed at the Asylum for the
Insane at Embreeville when she became
engaged to marry a man who also
worked there. The wedding day was

FRAUD
IN BOXES WITH
FALSE BOTTOMS
V-Shaped Base Thrust
Up, Making Difference
of Twenty Per Cent.
Two Arrests of Alleged
Makers of Five Quarts
From Four.

Col W. c. Haskell. sealer OF Weights
and measures, has just unearthed
fraud in dry measure that was being
extensively pracuced IN the market on
Louisiana avenue, which, he says, is the
worst that has come under his Official
notice in nine years
The short measure was being used in
cleverly manipulated strawberry box
supposed 20 be Of standard quart meas
ure, but which contained 20 per cent less
than a quart.
The box is constructed OF ordinary
splits, similar To ali berry boxes and
IN size is a standard quart. But its
peculiar feature Is IT'S bottom, which IS
creased or broken in such a manner as
20 permit of 10 being pushed up into the
center OF the measure by a slight pres
sure OF the sides OF the box, which
makes a displacement Of 20 per cent
making the box Of berries appear 10
/ DC literally filled.
Box Looks All Right.
To all outward appearance the box is
in no way different from the standard
box and holds a quart. except when the
/ sides are pressed IN. forcing the bot
tom up inlo the center Of the measure.
After the berries are dumped into q
receptacle the bottom falls back into
position, when the pressure on the sides
is released. and the fraud is hid.
Ten days ago a customer of a Louis
lana dealer who had purchased straw
/ berries IN one OF the creased bottom
1 boxes brought one OF the boxes to
Colonel Haskell He at once put Leo
Shoenthal. his assistant. on the case
10 see II berries were being sold ia
the market ia these fraud boxes. After
careful Investigation he discovered a
merchanl with his stand filed with
the ''pusn-bOttOm'' boxes
Beside the stand there were crates Of
strawberries opened for inspection and
offered for sale. The top layer OF boxes
were Of tle creased -or uu-h-bott5nn ty-pe.
while an abe other layers were ordinary
standard size with rigid bottoms in
accordance with the law.
Five Quarts From Four.
Explaining how the fraud is perpc-
trated, Colonel Haskell said that the
retail dealers purchase crates of straw
berries from the wholesalers in standard
quart measures. They then take the
standard quarts and place the berries
in the false. creased push-bottom meas
ures. and out of every four standard
quarts they make five fraud quarts.
This morning the two men alleged TO
have been selling berries in the fraud
quart measures We're served with war
rants charging them with selling goods
by short measure in violation of law.
. Their cases viii be heard in the Police
Court Monday morning. Colonel Has
kell has samples OF the fraud boxes and
berries purchased in them as evidence
TO be submitted TO the court
The penalty for this OffenSe IS 500 or
six months i'm jail. or both, for each
violation of the law.
