SOITH BEND, Ind. July 24.-Strik-
ers attempted to deran eastbound pas
senger train No. this afternoon at
divers. the first station at which
Grand Trunk eastbound trains stop in
passing through South Bend. The en-
gineer Of the train noticed the burned
switch signal in time to stop his train,
and thereby probably prevented injury
if not loss Of life TO the passengers.
Rioting in the local yards began last
night and has been spasmodic today.

wounded seriously by John Peck of
Battle Creek, Mich, an employe of a

Insurgents Back Norris

LINCOLN, Neb., July 24.-The repub-
lican state convention will meet in
Lincoln Tuesday, July &c, and will be
composed of $50 delegates. Senator
Brown will be temporary chairman.
An effort will be made by the or
ganization to have Brown made per-
manent chairman, but it is believed
that the insurgents" will oppose this
and will push Congressman Norris for
the place They will attempt to do
this as an enforcement of Norris
course in congress. This is likely to
bring a clash between the supporters
of the administration and those who
approve the action of the insurgents.

PRESIDENT LEWIS
 DUETS MINERS

Indianapolis. January 22--After week of violent political give and take the delegates to the convention of the United Mine Workers of North America ad- 1ourned until Monday today with the administration of President Thomas l.. Lewis controlling the situation against the factions.
 The majority seemed to have deter mined that MT. Lewis interpretation of the organizations constitution was au- thoritative; that his election could not be invalidated merely because some local union had voted illegally and their votes could be cast out according to MT. Lewis rulings and his majority of 2s, GOO over his opponent, William Green of Ohio, could not be seriously cut down by losses from this source.
 A riotous time in the convention seemed imminent when MT. Lewis or dered the sergeant at arms to take from the hall Francis Feehan, president of the Pittsburg district who would not obey the presidents gayel orders. Fee hans supporters advanced to resist. MT. Lewis friends became the more deter mined. The hearty laugh of some good natured delegate broke the tension and MT. Lewis was again In charge.
 It is probable that the anti-Lewis fac tion next week will renew It's efforts to prevent the votes of certain local unions in central Pennsylvania. Mir. Lew is and his party assert the movement is not of importance and is solely for the purpose of indorsing his administration against stubborn filibustering factioRs.

Memphis. January 22.-Thomas Taggart of Indiana has lost none of his good na- ture because of the accident occurring while hunting in Mississippi yesterday. and the probability that the vision of his right eye might be destroyed did not seem to set heavily upon him. He is en route to his home in Indianapolis, where medical attention will be given him.
 So far the journey which began at Natchez, Miss, this morning has been without special incident and has caused no i'll effects in the condition of the wounded man. Dr. R. c. French, who accompanied the party, and will min ister to Mr. Taggart until Indiana polls is reached, declared that his condition is satisfactory
 Whether an impairment of vision will result the physician would not say and he explained only the possibilities. Mir. Taggart says he is in excellent health

New York. January 22.--A decision by Judge Hough in the United States court today auashng the indictment against r. Augustus Heinze has given renewed hope tc the friends and counsel of Charles W. Morse now serving 15-year term in the federal prison at Atlanta.
 Martin W. Littleton counsel for Morse. said tonight that the deesesey may apply equally to the case of Msrss, and added that if he could establish similarity of facts he would move that no valid in- dictment was found against his client.
 Heinze was indicted October 12, 1909 for violation of the national banking law. In quashing the indictment Judge Hough said:

PracIleal Tariff Talks.

The argument is being put forward
by some defenders of the tariff system
to diScIedil those who have criticised
the wool schedule, that the man who
buys cl0hlng can still buy eight, ten
twelve, fifteen and eigteen dollar
suits, and point to the advertisements
as proof, As a matter of fact this
proves nothing except that the con-
) sumner is getting less for his money
than ever before. The retail clothier,
when be sends his buyer to the suit
makers, inStruCtS him to purchase
clothing that he can sell for standard
prices and yet secure his usual meas
ure of profit. The suit manuf ,ctures
pass the same instructions onto their
men who contract with the mlnufac
turerS,. the men who turn the WOO
into Cloth-with the result that TIT
ten dollar suit of this year will yielc
the same measure of profit 10 eacI
person who handles it as did the tel
dollar suit Of last year, until it reach
es the wearer, who gets eight dollar
of value possibly for the ten dollar
he hands over. He has paid no NOR
for suit that looks as good as hi
last one, but it won't be as warm no
will it wear as long.

ThlSTdemand for suits, hosiery, un-
deTWeaT, ETC., that Can be sold at a
stared price raised aprOblem that has
been solved by the increased use Of
cotton. The manufacturers of mems
wear began tuning out cloth known
a cotton worS:ed and for the better
grades made mercerized cloth so per
Cent worSted wool and so per cent
cotton yarn. Where all worsted
yarn made entirely fir m wool was
used the weight of the cloth has been
lowered; eight, nine, twelve and thir-
teen ounce cloth has been substituted
for the regular regulation sixteen
ounce for the light weighs, and for
the heavy weights, for which the reg
ulatijn weight was twenty ounces,
sixteen ounce cloth IS used. In order
to make up the lost weight in the
cloth heavy lining packed with cotton
wadding and other substitutes
was used. The hosiery manufactur.
er has clipped little off the length
Of the stocking and put in one thread
Of cotton to every thread Of wool
The underwear manufacturer tool
out nearly all the wool and put il
Peruvian cotton. In, fact, the more
wool he had in, the greater amour
Of wool he took out.

Women and Girls Make Truck Farm
Pay.

1t takes women and girls to run
truck farm, especially truck farm at
a state institution. They can make
it pay and save the taxpayers money.
But men and boys cannot make go
of such a farm. l don't know why
it is, but it is true, just the same.
This declaration was made by
Harry G. Bowman, chairman of the
state board of control, which has
charge Of all the nine charitable in
situations.
Ordinarily it would seem that
truck farms in connection with state
institutions would pay the state big"
said he. but they don't. A level
headed farmer can take the same
number of acres of the same kind of
ground, plant the same kind Of crops,
bire his own men and make more
money than the state can with its
free labor. AT least this is the his.
tory of all the state institutes, except
the Girls Industrial school at Be-.
lott.
"No farmer can make his lard pay
better than the girls at Beloit make
the state farm pay. With the employ
es and inmates, all women and girls
it seems to be past time for them to
run the farm. They do intensive
farming and produce more dollars
worth of stuff than is produced a
any other institutions, according tc
population.
Earning is not made a drudge
there. 1t is made as a sort of rec
reAtlon. Of course, the blowing ant
other real heavy work is done BY
men. But the crops are cultivated
and harvested by the girls under the
guidance of their teachers"
Mr.. Bowman told how they did it
Mrs. Perry, the superintendent, vii

We want to make good shown
this year. We must keep down tn
expenses or the officials of Topek;
will think women cannot run inStitu
tons or farm successfully. This is

plant our truck. How many teacher
and pupils will volunteer to go on tn
farm and help put in the crops?
Every teacher and every pupil wi
