While the British occupied Phila- :
delphia and the American force lay in
winter quarters at Valley Forge, one
day as Washington and his staff were
dining, a fine hunting dog, which was
evidently lost, came to seek something
to eat. On its collar was the name
General Howe" Washington ordered
that the dog should be fed. and then
he sent it to Philadelphia under a flag
of truce, with the following note:
General Washington's compliments to
General Howe. He does himself the
pleasure to return to him dog which
accidentally fell into his hands, and
by the inscription on the collar ap-
pears to belong to General Howe"
The British commander in reply sent a
letter conveying his warm thanks for
this act of courtesy.-London Globe.

COTTON PEST AFFLiCTS
EAST INDIAN PLANTERS
Red Bug Prevalent Throughout
Empire and Does Much
Damage

One of the most destructive as well
as one of the most offensive pests that
affiiet the East Indian planters is the
red cotton bug 1Dysdercus eingulatus).
An expert of the Indian agricultural de-
partment has devoted an entire mono
graph to this pest, near relations OF
which have been found in the southern
states OF America, the West Indies
Peru. Uganda, German Fast Africa and
Australia The bug has been reported
as a cotton pest from every part Of
India Its presence is always recog-
nized by an offensive Odor. 1t does not
confne itself to the cotton plant. but
spreads out on several species of the
cotton family. such as il the Rhindi
(Abelmoschus esculentus). several spe-
cies Of hibiscus. the silk cotton tree
the common Indian gOoseberry. or IL
pari (Physalie peruvania). etc. 1t is
more partial TO hiDdi than TO cotton
and when this plant is grown in the
vicinity OF cotton these pests flock to
IL. Thus IL may be captured in thou
sa ndS and destroyed The remedies of
the agricultural expert for its exter-
mination work down to the simple
method of collection BY hand. IL has
two insect enemies. a tachinid fly and
the common reduviid bug and two bird
enemies. the black headed OriOle and
the common hawk cuckoo but these do
not make any appreciable impression
in the reduction Of the pest.

Since July 1 when the bureau of In
formation OF the department of COM
merce and labor was established, work
for 2.512 men has been found. This
record, brought up to December 10, is
considered very gratifying when the
fact is taken into consideration that
the scope of the bureau is still ex-
tremely limited and its operations are
practically unknown TO the great mass
of workingmep and only partly un-
derstOod by the employers.
In Wall street there is animated dis
cussion of the proposal of Mr.. Taft to
make the interstate commerce commits
sion more distinctively judicial body
and to turn it's administrative func-
tions over to the department of COM
merce and labor. 1t is apparent that
the plan will enjoy large and influ-
entail support, mostly by reason of
the fact that congress has loaded up
the interstate commission with a null
titude of minor duties. aside from it's
great and essential ones, and has COM

Congress has loaded up the commis-

or less unrelated and inappropriate to
its general functions. and then com

time to do the big tasks wanted of it.
The feeling has been growing for two

Washington to Have Bureau
for Employment of Labor
National Department With Many Branches. Is
Proposed by Secretary Straus
By C. c. Carlton

NEW YORK, Jan. "A great ma
tional bureau for the employment of
la Dor is soon to be established in the
national capital. with branches in all
the large cities of the United States in
cluding San Francisco, if the plans of
Secretary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor eliminate. as he
has every reason to hope that they
will. L. H. Gary, president of the steel
trust. is in correspondence with Secre-
tary Straus concerning these plans.
The movement Will be started by the
council of labor that will be held in
Washington the last week in January
This movement is expected to- be of
mutual advantage to both employer
and workman. 1t will result in OBJ
tanning work for thousands who are
now idle. and at the same time will
supply labor to localities where it is
scarce, and this is expected to be of
great advantage to employers in re-
mote cities. To illustrate how the
bureau will work, Secretary Straus
says:
When an idle man applies TO the
national bureau or one of its branches
the chief in charge takes down his big
book and looks over the pages. He
finds that 1000 timers are wanted in
Seattle to work on the buildings of the
Alaska and Yukon exposition; that 400
or 500 sheet metal workers are needed
in Chicago, ST. Louis and Denver, and
that 5000 men can find employment in
the great fruit orchards and vineyards
of California, all at first class wages
So the thing is done.
I'VE hope to be able to make such
arrangements with the railroads that
reduced rates may be obtained for men
who are going after work, and by the
establishment of offices. The various
big cities of the country the scope of
the work may be extended to practical
ly cover the whole United States.
when the wants of the employer
and the employe can be made thor
oughly known to each other" Mr.
Straus continued, "as soon as their
wants occur, great share of the dis

NO SHORTAGE OF
COAL IN WINTER
State Mine Inspector Reports
Mines Running Full Time
and With Usual Crews.
NEGLIGENCE COSTS LIVES
CARELEsSNEsS IN TIMBERING
CAUSES ACCIDENTS.

That faulty timbering and roofing I'm
some Utah coal mines causes loss of
life is averred by J. E. Petit, state coal
mine inspector, in his quarterly report
filed with Governor Spry yesterday. He
says roof inspectors and mine officials
must be more diIigent or expect casual
ties.
The Winter Quarters mine of the Utah
Fuel company, where one Jap was killed
this month and two others narrowly
escaped, is given as one example.
Floods last month in the Pleasant Val
ley mine let in air and famed the flame
smouldering embers in the old work
ings. This caused black damp. This
part of the mine in shaft No. ., viii be
completely walled off, but as long as
fire exists, the inspector says, there will
be danger.
A cave-in in the No. 6 west workings
of the lear Greek mine ten days ago
killed one Jap and imprisoned another,
who was rescued in a few hours. This
cave-in, the inspector says, was caused
by carelessness in not timbering, Is in
stTucted by the foreman and fire boss.
All Of the coal mines are working and
are finding a ready market. Some trOu-
BILE has been experienced in getting cars.
Mr. Petit believes there is no need for
alarm i'm salt Lake over coal shortage
this winter, but he advises the public
TO lay in a ton or two extra.

Against Officers of DefunCt
Concern.
H. l. THOMAS IN CONTEMPT
ESCAPES JAIL SENTENCE BY AN
SWERING CRoss-EXAMINER.

That an effort will be made to prove
that the defunCt Salt Lake Public Service
company was wrecked by its promoters
and officers was shown in the Third dis
trlct court yesterday, when the case was
called before Judge &. W. Morse on petit
ton IF W. b. Albertson. receiver, to sell
water rights and other assets Of the COM
pany on behalf of the many creditors.
Charges of fraud and collision are
made i'm petition filed yesterday by Dr.
J. J. Snider. one of the promoters of the
company, and II. L. Thomas, who is in
terested in the water rights of the $780,
900 company, both in Big and Little Cot
tOnWOOd canyons This petition AYERS that
Receiver @1eTJsOn is in collision with J.
J. Chambers, one of the chief promoters
and president of the company at the time
it went into bankruptcy, to defraud cred
ltOrs by obtaining the water rights ana
starting new company.
This was denied by both AlbertSOn and
Chambers. who claim that DIR. Snider and
Thomas filed on the water rights in Little
Cottonwood CANYON in order TO get them
away from the company, and that Dr.
Suider even asked the forestry depart
ment at Ogden to cancel claims of the
company on forest reserves so that Ihom-
could file upon them.
In the petition of Snider and Thomas the
court was asked to remove AlbeTtSOn as
receiver, but this was refused

The fight for what is left of the assets
Of the company brought out merry

was held in contempt Of court Judge
Morse stated tersely that Mr.. Thomas
would be sent to Jail Thomas consulted
with counsel and then answered the ques-
lions. Thomas admitted that he had tleu
on water rights practically the same as
those covered by the company,
Dr. Snider was called and admitted that
he had gone to ogden in regard to the
water rights of the company on the Tor
est reserves, but denied he had attempted
to cancel the holdings of the company.
Dr. Snider denied he had injured the com
pany He had put in claim for $500
for services, but Receiver AlbertSon de
cided that Dr. Snider owes the company
about $500. Tt was claimed Dr. Snlder
had been notified May !, 1907, that his
services were no longer required. Dr-
Snider denies being so notified DR.. Snl-
der had a desk in the office since tnat
time and the receiver asks rent for il.
DR. Snider said he and AlbertsOn and }.
