Washington, D. c., Oct 23-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 70 to 80, warm wave
.25 to 20, cool wave 28 to November l.
This is expected to bring several days
of very rough weather including a cold
wave, severe frosts, SHOWS north and
heavy rains south. Between 20 and 28
a severe tropical storm will organize
on the Caribbean sea- | am not able at
this time to forecast the path of that
tropical storm. Having telegraph con-
nections with the West India islands,
the United States Weather Bureau will
be able to give warning of the move
ments of that storm near Our southern
coasts. But the tropical storm will cause
cold wave in the northwest that will
move to the Atlantic coast.
The first disturbance of November
will reach Pacific coast about 3, cross
Pacific slope by close of a, great central
valleys 5 to 7, eastern states and prov
inces 8. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about 3, great central valleys 5,
eastern states and provinces 7. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about E,
great central valleys s, eastern states
and provinces 10.
This disturbance will bring a recovery
from the cold weather and great warm
wave will cross the continent This
storm center and warm wave will keep
we'll to the north, and a wave of low
temperatures win be passing through
Canada and the northern states Gen
eral rains vii accompany this disturb
ance. November will bring about nor
NAL temperatures and heavy rains
More detailed forecasts of November
crop weather in next bulletin.
The great hurricane and continental
cold wave and frosts of October 10 to
rs were predicted in these bulletins
long before they came, and their loca-
tion and movements we'll described.
promised my readers that | would very
! largely improve my forecasts and !
have, but the greatest improvements are
yet to come. During the coming win
ter radical changes for the better will
be made in methods of publication and
in accuracy and detail of forecasts. The
methods by which to secure these inn
provements have been found.

HEARING ON PUPILS FARES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May O..
Sale of railroad tickets to school
children was the topic for general
hearing of testimony and arguments
held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission today. Some months
ago the commission in case brought
before it by the Pennsylvania Rail
road, decided that it was improper
for railroads to restrict. the use of
commutation tickets sold at reduc-
ed rate to children attending certain
schools, denying the special rate to
Others, The railroad companies
thereupon withdrew the sale Of such
tickets from all children and referred
to the decision of the commission as
the reason for so doing. This caused
much dissatisfaction, The commits
sion issued special statement in re-
gard to the matter, intimating that
the railroads had purposely miscon-
strued the decision. The hearing to-
day was held with a view to deter
mingly what is fair to both the rail-
road companies and the children,

GUNTLET IS THROWN TO
GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES OF TELEPHONE
AND TELEGRAPH CoMPAN-
les THREATEN STRIKE.

PARIS, May 6,-The famous P. T.
T., that is the Posts, Telephone &
Telegraph Employees Association,
threw down the gauntlet Of battle to
the government today by transmit
ting itself into a syndicate or union
under the law of 1884. This places
the association on the same footing
with the workingmen's union with
right to strike, This defiance which
is nothing short of an open revolt
comes as sensation sequal to
Premier Clemenceau's failure today
to receive deputation of postal en-
ployees who called to demand re-
demption of promises they claim the
government made them when the re-
cent strike was called off If the
aims of the movements are successful
it will be much like Coup D Etat as
its purpose is to make the employees
masters and not servants of the state.
The most serious aspect is the fact
that the leaders are undoubtedly
hand and glove with the moving
spirits Of the general federation OF
labor which is now universally recog-
nized as a revolutionary organization
and which for a long time has been
preparing for a general strike to de-
stroy capital A destruction of this
organization has been frequently
contemplated by the government
The government, it is now conceded
must act or abdicate, The leaders
have no option but to declare a
strike hte minute the government
makes a hostile turn, The entire
country is tremendously excited by
the violent agitation and fears are
entertained that the whirlwind will
be unclaimed,

MERCER. May flames Boyle,
charged with kidnapping Billie

today after trial lasting only few
hours. The defense did not put any
witnesses on the stand and the jury
were only out long enough to sign
the verdict. The penalty awaiting

aster from overcrowding. James
Boyle entered a formal plea Of not
guilty, the jury was sworn and the
opening address to the jury was made
by T. c. Cochran, in charge Of the
prosecution.
Billy" Whitla was the first wit
ness, and before being sworn, caused
a ripple Of laughter when he answer
ed the question as to where boys go
who do not tell the truth. by saying:
"They go to hell"
In his boyish way he told the story
of the man who said his name was
Mr.. Jones, calling for him with a
buggy at the school. and telling him
he had been sent to take him away,
on account OF smallpox. that he was
to take others, also, and that Billy"
would meet his friends on the train.
Mrs. Boyle was then placed on
trial Immediately, upon a charge Of
having aided in the kidnapping. Hard
ly had the jury been sworn in her
case when the lawyers became en-
gagged in an argument regarding the
admission of certain testimony and
the court adjourned until tomorrow.
Mrs. Boyle took a prominent part in
the selection of the jury prompting
her attorneys in numerous cases and
showing a preference for young un-
married men as jurors,
