POLICE ARE MAKING EVERY EF-
FORT TIC ROUND UP AKAR-
cHlsTs IN NEW YORK.
NUMEROUS ARRESTS ARE MADE
Watehful Eye 10 Being Kept on Many
S0speets.-HeaVy Bail
Required.

NEW YORK, March 2s.-Acting On
the theory that the bomb throwing IN
Union Square park on Saturday al.
ternoon was the outcome Of an organ.
lied plot, the police have spread a
dragnet throughout the city and are
making every effort to run down the
supposed accomplices of Selig Cohen,
alias SilVerstein. the young Hebrew
who killed Ignatz Hildehhand and
narrowly escaped with his own life
in his attempt to strike down the
police.
The general police attitude toward
the affair was illustrated in Jefferson
Market court this morning when sew
en- Of the eight prisoners captured in
Union Square on Saturday afternoon
were arraigned before Magistrate
Droege. Six Of these were held in
$4,000 bail for a further hearing. The
seventh, an American, George Robert
son by name, was held without bail
until Tuesday morning on the state
ment of the policeman-lawyer, VIM.
E. Murphy, that Robertson was "di-
rectly implicated in the bomb throw
ing"
In addition to this, the police, &C
cording to Inspector McCafferty, in
charge of the detective force, are
keeping watchful eye on Alexander
Berkham, who served a long term in
the western penitentiary of PennsyI-
vania for attempting to kill Henry C.
Prick. Letters alleged to be of a
sensational character, written by
Berkham to Cohen, which were found
In the latter's room in Brooklyn, are
said to be responsible for this.
But If Berkham is wanted by the
police he can't be wanted very badly,
since a reporter found the well-known
revolutionary leader at his home, No.
21O East Thirteenth street, tonight,
where he was quietly smoking. He
denied any knowledge of Cohen or his
crime.
When the seven prisoners were ar
raigned before Magistrate Droege to-
day on a short affidavit charging them
with being Suspicious persons and
in the Saturday affair, |
Murphy asked that they be held for
hours in order that the |
police may have an opportunity to look
into their records.

SUDDEN SUMMONS
FOR GEORGE NEELEY

George Medley, one Of the Oldest
citizens of the Iron Bridge neighbor-
hood near Mt. Pleasant, was lying In
a small stream near his home Tues
day, having evidently died of heart
failure while crossing the stream. Mr..
Medley was 80 years OF age and had
been for a brief visit to one of his
sons and was returning home late In
the evening when death came. The
families of each home supposed him
safe at the other home, so his absence
caused no uneasiness and his body
was not discovered till some time af-
ter he had died.

Of New England cotton mill operatives
which was recently decided upon. be-
came effective today in mills employ
ing $4,000 persons. Next Monday the

Racing az a Game.

While agitation against evils that
tempt the young and the weak mem
bers of society is at it's height, the
great racing associations of the coun-
try will be blind to their interests IL
they fail to wipe out some Of the ugly
practices brought about by the system
of putting horses OF the course merely
to win. Winning and perhaps losing
by trickery simply to shift the purses
of a crowd Of enthusiasts is not calcu-
lated to make racing a matter of tests
which first and last shall have educa-
tional value and develop a love of fine
horseflesh.
Even when decent men are disposed
to back up their opinion Of a certain
horse whose history interests them
they are often disguised with the way
this must be done as things go around
the average track in racing centers
The field should not be left to mer-
%cenaries, who may be able to combine
and force a race to suit themselves,
sometimes taking a rakeoff of 20, 80
and even 40 per cent on all the money
put up. Everything Is done to stimu-
late gambling in small sums. Some Of
the track owners raised the price OF
admission under the p%retense of wish
ing to keep out the small fry, who
could i'll afford to lose. But with all
the noise about "favorites," the prince
ly stakes raced for and the eclat Of bet
ting on the so called gentlemanly
plane, the increased cost Of admit
lance only serves to sharpen the craze
among young clerks with their hands
In their employers till and young boys.
Admission comes high, but they must
see the race and have money on it. So
they stint themselves to indulge in
track gambling, as poker fiends do for
cards. Honest racing might prove to
be less sensational and all that, but
1t would be wholesome sport for every
body interested and not a vulgar COM
liberalization of what has been and
can be made to be again-a noble di-
version.

FARMERS have already started to talk

FARMERS have already started to talk
"harvest hand They expect a bumper
crop and want men to take care of it
when it is ready to cut and thresh.
Labor, like the crops, is very hard to
estimate until the last minute and the
wheat growers are wondering what sort
of an influx of labor will be experienced
this coming harvest. Last year there
was quite a shortage and in some locali-
ties exorbltant prices we're paid for any
kind of labor. While last years crop
was very good, there is every reason to
believe hat the coming harvest will far
surpass it. This year the national
government has taken hold of the farm
labor question and immigrants can be
sent to any locality and it is expected
that good results will be obtained. The
new arrivals can be secured either direct
from Washington or through the state
agricultural and labor commissioner
who can supply application blanks on
demand. The national government has
asked the state authorities to furnish an
estimate of the number of men required.
The farmers will not be the only ones
benefited by this system, but all persons
employing both common and skilled
labor can secure men in a similar
manner
