3. R. |. DENOUNCED SPEAKER CANNON Because of His Attitude Toward
 Labor TO MEET AT COLUMBUS, O. Order Adjourns-Ten Days Session In Atlanta-Good Executive and
 Insurance Boards
 Elected.
TO MEET AT COLUMBUS, 0.

Atlanta May 20-The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen completed it's business late today and adjourned. Columbus, O., was selected as the place for the next biennial convention after sharp contest which was waged from the opening of the convention ten days ago. The vote, which was taken early today, was not announced until late khis afternoon, when the following result was made public:
 Columbus 263 votes; Des Moines, 1O2; Chicago, SS Detroit, A
 Under a decision by which the place re- ceiving the largest number of votes in- stead of a majority of the votes cast, Columbus was declared the winner.
 The order today elected the grand eX ecutlve board, as follows: J, W. Rhodes, Toledo, O., chairman; R. J. Powers, San Leandro, Cal; Arthur w. Evans, New York; O. c. Cash, Roanoke, Va, and F. C. Lockwood, Chicago. Members of the newly created board of insurance, which is considered of great importance, were also chosen ard represent every section of the country.
 Among the resolutions adopted today was one denouncng the action of Speaker Cannon of the national house of repre- sentatives, in his attitude toward labor and opposing his reelection. After recit- ing that We have reason to believe thai Jos. G. Cannon has, as speaker of the national house of representatives, used the influence and power of that great of flee to defeat the passage of legislation sought by the railroad employees and other working classes, both in the way of ap- pointing as members of the house com- mittee to which bills were referred men who were known to be hostile to It's enact ment, and by the use of threats, intim- idation and force, compelling members to vote against our legislation, contrary to their own convictions" the resolution says:
 Resolved, That we hefeby denounce said actions of Cannon as arbitrary, au- tocratic and not in keeping with Amer ican principles of government or fair play. and we solemnly protest against his reelection to this high and honorable of flee upon which he has brought reproach as we believe his reelection would prej- udce and render impossible of fair legis- lation looking to protection of railroad employees and other classes of labor"
 Another resolution opposed "the indis- criminate stream of immigrants now flow ing into this country, particularly Asiat- ics."

NEGRO ROUNDS UP
 BOLTING CONNECTS
FOURTEEN oVERPoWER GUARDS. NEGRO CONVICT GETS GUN OF FLEEING OFFICER AND STOPS TEN.

Americus. Ga., May 2o.-Fourteen con- victs escaped today from the Sumter county chaingang. The men, most of them negroes, sprang upon two of the three armed guards. whom they caught unawares. They wrested from them their weapons, thus rendering them incapable of interfering with their escape. The re- maining guard offered no opposition In- stead, it is said he turned and ran, the revolting convlcts deriding him as he did so. The fleeing guard dropped hiss gun in his flight. AS the fourteen convicts made off, Brady Reddick, a negro con fict, ran to the gun of the guard who had 'hed caught it up and pursued the escap- ing convicts. He overlook them before they had separated, covered the gang with. the weapon and marched them back to the camp. Arriving there and keeping them covered with his gun, he made them bind each other. He succeeded In secur- ing ten of them in this manner reducing the number escaping to four.

crimes and disappearance of the two men, and this connection led many to think that the capture of one would lead to the capture of the other.
 The speedy return of Ragan from Col orado will depend on whether or not he will return without protest.

Like all new industries. the artificial ice business has caused other businesses to expand For instance, the coke ovens of the coal mining regions pay great atten- ton to the making of ammonia gas for which there Is a steady demand from the ice makers. In theory, the ammonia gas once used for refrigeration begins it's work over again and proceeds in an end less succession of cycles, but leakage and unavoidable losses make it neces- sary to "charge' the plant with ammonia frequently.
 Perhaps the most ingenious invention which has resulted from the cold storage business is that of the thermophone, an instrument which measures heat at any desired point and transmits 1t by sound to the ear. The thermophone takes advan- tage of the physical fact that there is a change of resistance in an electrical con- ductor with change in temperature. Sta tions In all parts of the plant are con- neeted with the main office. The central instrument has a series of switches and a dial showing the degrees of tempera- ture, just as on a thermometer A re- ceiving telephone is connected with the switchboard. The operator connects the telephone with any desired station in the plant, and places the telephone to his ear. He hears a slight buzzing noise and the needle on the dial moves. F1nally there comes complete silence, and at that mo- ment the needle indicats the exact tenn perature.
 The American hunger for the novel and spectacular has not been disappointed by the artificial ice makers. They freeze water on the floor of a great building which is cooled by frosted cold storage pipes, and one may enjoy ice skating when the thermometer is at a hundred in the shade outside. They freeze cakes of ice inside water bottles and ones drinking water is poured off the top of the ice. They freeze fish and vegetables in solid blocks of ice for signs in cafe windows. They make ice in blocks so large and clear that ice sculptors will attempt a group Of heroic size to aid in the decora- tions for a banquet. Photographs have been taken of dozen men standing to- gether through a plate of artificial ice twenty-feet long, ten feet high and a foot thick. The ice manufacturers believe that their business great as 1t is with its cap ital of nearly S10o, ,000, and It's annual product of $17oO0,0O0, is just in its in fancy.

prisoned in the rapidly freezing mass. and gave cloudy effect to the block. Then came the process of first distilling the water to get out the air, which re- suited not only in clear lee, but also in the assurance to the consumer that the Ice was perfectly pure and absolutely free from germs.
 The demand for an ice-making plant small enough to supply the needs of one household has been expressed for years, but thus far none of the devices designed to supply this want have been practicable. The process of making lee requires some mechanical and chemical skill, and, if an- monia Is used, Is dangerous in the hands of one not an expert. Ice makers be- lieve, however that the day of the small plant is near at hand.

Every Man His own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in bis
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as 80 slight an injury as the
scratch OF pin has been known to cause
the loss of a limb. Hence every man
must from necessity be his own doctor
for this class of ailments. Success often
depends upon prompt treatment, which
can only be had when suitable medicines
are kept at hand. Chsmberlain's Rene
dies have been in the market for many
years and enjoy a good reputation.
