Catch Crops.


The term catch crop" Is not gener.
ally understood. 1t applies to any crop
grown that Is not regularly planned
for certain field, in other words, 1t is
put In where another crop has failed,
or after another crop has been removed
from the land. AS an illustration,

grain crop has failed, or rape sown

There should be more interest taken.

there is. The use of such crops should
be extended. as they not only furnish
very cheap feed, but they grow in

matter. especially II pastured on or

SAYS STRIKE IMPENDS
Union Official Thinks Miners WM
Again Present Demands.

Philadelphia. March A-secretary Hartlein, OF
District g. United Mine Workers, declared tonight
that he believed that there would be a strike or
the anthracite miners.
In my opinion strike Is sure to come" Hart
len said AT the conference between the repre-
sentatfves of the operators and the miners the
former maintained an attitude which, in my opfn-
ion will cause a strike to be called. Heretofore
the operators have always made concessions which
have placated the men, but at the last meeting
there was no bending. Every issue which we pre-
scented was rejected by the operators These issues
have been long considered by the miners, and they
know that their demands are not unreasonable;
that they are asking only that TO which they are
rghtfuly entitled.
The rejection of these demands, continued
Hartlein will anger the members of the union
and am of the opinion that the result of the con-
vention be held in Scranton on March q Will
be that the committees will be instructed to confer
again with the mine operators and to present
again to them the very same demands which they
have just rejected. Then, unless these demands
granted-whch I do not think possible, in view
of the present attitude of the OPERATORS am con-
fdent that a strike will be called

GRADUATE SCHOOL VOTED
Cornell Faculty to Establish One
Nert AUTUMN.

ithaca n Y March IA graduate school
will be established next fall at Cornell at the
beginning Of the academic year. The Cornell
University faculty decided on this step the most
radical advanced in some time at a meeting held
here yesterday. 1t is expected the trustees will
ratify the action.
The college has always had graduate depart
ment, but the growth Of the university has made
it imperative that it be changed to regular
graduate school. Under the proposed plan the
faculty win be segregated entirely from the uni
versty faculty. The new faculty will be COM
posed of professors and assistant professors
who are now instructing in graduate work, with
Dean T. F. Crane at their head.

OPPOSES SUNDAY SALOON OPENING
DR.. Iglehart Says Committee of Fourteen Is
Playing Into Hands of Liquor Dealers.

ent Of the nti-Saloon League of this city, ad-
dressed the Union Branch Of the Young Men $

plan Of the Committee of Fourteen to open the
saloons in New York City on Sundays from TO II
p. m. The members of the committee, said DIT.
Iglehar are doubtless sincere in their intention TO
improve moral conditions, but they are misguided
and are only carrying out the will Of the leading
liquor dealers of the state.
'One of the given for the bill by the COM
mittee" continued DR.. Iglehart, lis that it would
reduce the number Of Raines law hotels. In their
own statement committee shows that the
Raines law hotels have been reduced from fourteen
hundred to seven hundred and fifty in the city
without the OF any such Sunday opening bill
as is now proposed. II seems 10 me this is rather
late hour to call for measures of relief. when the
Raines law hotels have been reduced in so large a
measure without that kind of instrumentaty The
Raines law hotels are the product of the liquor
dealers determination TO sell Sunday

LOS ANGELES BOSS ACCUSED.
Grand Jury To Be Called to Investigate
Charge Against E T. Earl.


Los Angeles, Cal. March IA special grand
jury will be summoned to investigate charges that
2. T. Earl. the boss OF Los Angeles. has been
guilty Of compromising a felony. This action was
taken this morning by Mr.. Fredericks, District At
torney. after long conference with hve judges Of
the Superior Court late last night.
The charge IS based on the statement which ap
peared in EarIs paper. The Express which said
that Earl had evidence that ex-Mayor Harper had
been guilty OF criminal acts IN the conduct OF the
citys affairs. but that publication OF the facts had
been suppressed the understanding that Harper
would resign, and that, Harper had resigned,
the facts would not be divulged. Fredericks says
Earl did not submit these facts to the previous
grand jury, which was investigating Harper's adj
minIstration
That the recall election situation in this city may
be entirely changed by the action OF Mr.. Fred
ericks was admitted to-day by both the adherents
Of the recall and those opposed to IT, Judge James
said the request for special grand jury would be
granted
Since the resignation was accepted by the council
the city has been without a Mayor. A question Of
procedure has arisen for which there is prece-
dent. and the leading lawyers at variance as to
what must be done. poll OF the COuncmen
shows that five out Of the nine favor the plan Of
selecting a successor to Harper to out
full uneXpTed term, while three firmly opposed
this.
