executive committee, the chair gave II
out straight that he favored giving the
precinct club executive committees
fair field with the county COMMITTEES.
and that cooperation of these club
committees with the general committee
would bring about the best results.
He said further that they should be
recognized as working bodies. not as
clubs whose lists of officers had been
published in the newspapers and moth
ing further heard of them. He did not
want the people to think the county
committee was "hogging it.
President Buffandeau of the second

organization was needed, and the soon
er this was effected the better.

the purpose is very likely a speculative
one, to get the benefit of the present
unusual crop prospects and the present
and prospecfively continuing high
range of prices. The idea that il is
bought up with view to continuing
the enterprise as a plantation is not
widely credited. It is argued that in
order to do so, a new corporation will
have TO be formed, as the present cor
poration expires by limitation within
year or two, and the lands viii have
to be secured again from the govern
ment. and as it seems almost certain
at higher rental than the present. If
it has been impossible to pay dividends
on the present rentals, it is argued how
can the concern be made dividend pay

suggested that the government would
be very willing to let out the lands to
small holders on very favorable terms
after the expiration of the present
leases. and that if it could be divided
up among small holders, the ownership
and operation of the mill as a strictly
mill enterprise and not as ( plantation
enterprise might be made a paving one.
But for that purpose there would be
no advantage in controlling the pres

Horace Cole Insanity Plea.

A Binghamton attorney who is
to defend Horace Cole, the motor
ious crook, for horse stealing, will
try to prov theat Cole is drug fiend
and is daffy in the head. The at
torney will attempt to prove that
insanity runs in Coles family. Now
a-days every criminal is put up be-
fore the courts as an idiot, but in
nearly all cases these "idiots," at
the time that they commit their
crimes are sane enough to evade the
authorities, and often afterward
like Cole, they boast of their cum
ming methods employed to escape
justice.

From the Reporter Journal.

Nelson J. Palmer, an old offender,
was placed in the county jail Friday
evening, having been brought from
Hillsgrove, by constableS, A. Strick-
land, of that place. The prisoner is
charged with horse stealing.
On August ), 1907, George ID.
Brenchiey, living in Burlington
township, started with a 500 stall
ion to drive to Lamoka where he
had some business to attend to. and
Palmer was given Il ride. They ar
rived at their destination after dark,
Palmer leaving Brenchly soon after
they reached the village. Brenchly
placed his horse in barn owned by
a man whom he had gone to see,
and while they were in the house,
they heard horse and wagon go
by at furious clip. Thinking that
it was a runaway, they went out OF
doors just as the last outlines of the
carriage disappeared down the road.
A fbort time later Brenchly discov-
cred that his horse and carriage was
missing from the barn and 1t at
once dawned on him that the speed
ing rig was nomeu;her than his own.
Palmer was seen that night with the
horse and he told persons that it be-
longed to him and that he was going
to Wilkesbarre to sell it. The next
day the horse was found in the
woods in Burlington towpshin, haV-
ing evidently run away from the
party who had stolen it.
Satisfied that is was Palmer who
drove the animal away, Brenchiey
came to Tuwanda and sWore out a
warrant for his arrest.
A short time ago man answering
Palmers description had finger cut
of bv saw in mill in which he
was working in Iillsgrove. The
injured man applied to the sullivan
county Commissioners for aid giving
his residence as Burlington town
ship, Bradford county. The Sulli-
van county commissioners com
menced an investigation with the
result that the injured man was
identified as Palmer. The warran
was forwarded to HillsgrOve and
Palmer was arrested and brought to
towanda. He admitted tina, it was
his first trouble over Il horse deal AS
he had been in the penitentiary for
horse stealing.

There is a probability that the
price of anthracite coal will not be
reduced the customary fifty cents Oh
April |. The operators have not
vet detinitel, decided on this step,
but they are considering the mat
ter, and, unless some unforeseen con
tingency arises that may modify
their present intention, the !ikeli-
hood is that there will be no redurt-
lon. The plan of reducing the price
ofcoal fifty cents on The lirSt day OF
April ana advancing it at the rate
of ten cents each month until the
winter price is reached was inaugu-
rated for the purpose of distributing
the production and marketing it
evenly, monthly, as nearly as posi-
bic over the entire year. 1T has
been found in practice that buyers
hold back their orders for the first
few months. so as to take advantage
Of the considerable reduction in the
price of coal that sets in April and
then heap up orders that cannot, of
course, be delivered until long after.
The operators declare hat this was
unfair both to them and the miners.
