BRASS CHECKS LEAD
TO COURT HEARING

Russian Laborers COncern=
ing Payment for Service

When the cases of Harry n. Gray
and George F. Gray, contractors.
charged with violating ordinance $50
by not paying Russian laborers on pres
entation of their time checks were
called in Police Judge Shortal1s court
yesterday Attorney Edward Manning on
their behalf asked for a continuance
The judge said 1t was unusual to make
such request in a misdemeanor case
and he would not grant long con-
tinuance, s the complainants were in
urgent need of their wages. which, he
was informed. were being held unlaw-
fully.
You have been misinformed." inter
rupted Harry Gray, I'VE are not hold
ing any ones wages unlawfully."
The judge was handed several brass
checks and Gray said they were used
merely for the purpose of identifica-
tion of the holders. The men would
have been paid. he said. If it had not
been for newspaper that was making
the court collection agency.
The Judge denied the assertion and
insisted upon the defendants stipulat-
ing before granting continuance that
the men would be paid yesterday aft
ernoon, which Gray agreed TO. The
cases were continued until Wednesday.

THORNTONPS SEAT
IN SENATE SHAkY
Appointment by Governor of
Louisiana May be Ques=
ton by Congress

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Governor
Sanders appointment of Judge ]. r.
Thornton as senator from Louisiana
probably will be questioned when con-
gress convenes in December In effect
the appointment was made to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of
Senator McEnery, which occurred a few
days after the adjournment of congress
last June.
The Louisiana legislature was in ses-
sion at the time and Governor Sanders
was elected to succeed the deceased
senator. Desiring, however to devote
his energies to the proposed Panama
canal exposition in New Orleans, the
governor has resigned the Office of SEN
ator and as governor has appointed
Thornton senator. 1t is contended that
the proceeding violates the rule laid
down in the Quay case, which was that
a governor of a state has no power TO
make temporary appointment as SEN
ator to fill a vacancy which may have
occurred when the legislature of the
state was in session.

HONGKONG FACTORIES
KEEP TRADE SECRETS
VermiIion Making Is Distinc-
lively a Chinese Art

Vice Consul General Stuart j. Fuller
states that ever since Hongkong was
established the industry of yermilion
making, entirely in the hands of the
Chinese, has been an important one.
The manufacture of this pigment is
among the foremost of the colony's in%
dustries. There are something like 100
small plants for the manufacture of
vermilion in Hongkong and Kowloon.
The raw material comes from Australia.
and the vermilion Is prepared alto
gether by what is known as the wet
method. The Chinese made artificial
cinnabar long before Europe was a.
civilized country, and to this day there
are trade secrets in the vermilion in

been able to fathom. Some of the
granite stones here between which the
pulverized ore is ground are almost

HOUSEHOLD HELP EASY
TO RETAIN YEARS AGO

Antiquarians tell us of time when
even in this community household help
could be caught young and kept until 1t
was old, but that happy day has passed
and there is no sign of its return, says
the Boston Transcript. In the attempt
to defer it the amateur psychologists
of the household strove to arouse the
interest and pride of their assistants
by Illuminating the title that defined
their status; the hired girl became
maid. But that did not hold her, and
neither did advance of wages, extra

Back to the Farm.

There are three all important things
TO be weighed by the city man who
wishes to return to the farm. The
first is his wife. If she is in every
sense Of the word helpmate. loves
the country and can give up what she
has been used to in the city for the
sake of the children and the building
Of a real home, then the prospects are
fairly favorable to begin with.
The second thing to be considered Is
your years and capacity for work; the
third. what is your capital. If all
these are favorable. don't lose day in
trying to get suitably located. IL any
one Of these points Is doubtful. delib.
crate well and move slowly. IL you
have fat ban!; account and wife
tied to the Heshpots of the city you
can GO nothing In the country; but, on
the other hand. IL your wife be one
with you heart and soul. then capital
might at pinch be forgotten.
As to the second point--that of years
and capacity for work-this is very
important, because so many of those
who are earnestly DESTROYS Of forsak-
ing the city today are well advanced
In years, who think that the country
would afford them an easy means of
earning living. There is nothing easy
on the farm.

Of the compartment within a foot Of

approximate circle about three feet in
diameter. Then the pipe may be car

side of the main building or outside.
Only one set of trays may be used
in this evaporation. and these will be
held In place by cleats nailed to the
inside at such intervals as will allow
the trays to slide one above the other
and should extend from just above the
coil of pipe to the ceiling. The trays
when filed with fruit are put in and
removed through the large upper door
and are so constructed that they fill the
space entirely. being four feet square.
The trays should be made so that
they can be used either side up. Eight
