TWO PRIZES ARE GIVEN
Fay Halves and May Flower Camps
Each Receive Awards.

Fay Halves and May Flower Camps
Each Receive Awards.
Owing to slight indefiniteness in
the stated requirements for awarding
the prize offered by DR.. Hada M.
Burkhart to the camp which secured
the largest class of candidates in the
recent Royal Neighbor camp county
contest, it was necessary to award
two prizes of $40 each to the two
camps, which, according to their in
depreciation of the terms, deserved
it. During the contest Fay Halves
camp PSI adopted class of 81 can
didates, which was the largest num-
Der secured by any one camp, but
all of this number were not held for
initiation at the school of instruc-
ton held last Wednesday at Odd
Fellows hall May Flower camp
101, had a class of AZ present at
the school, having understood that
credit was given only for those ap-
pearing for initiation at the formal
closing of the contest. The latter
camp had the largest number pres
ent at the school and so Dr. Burk-
har decided to award two separate
prizes.

ANOTHER MINERS
MEETING CALLED
State Convention to Be Held in
Peoria, Opening Next
Tuesday.
AN AGREEMENT REACHED?
Condition of Unrest Among Work
men in nlinois-storage supply
of Coal Getting Low.

A miners. state convention has
been called to meet at 10 o'clock
next Tuesday morning in Peoria. The
call to assemble has been sent out
to the various locals. The delegates
will be the ones who attended a pre-
vious convention in Peoria.
Some believe that this. convention
has been called because the joint
scale committee in Chicago has come
to an agreement. If so it is prob
able the convention is called merely
to -atify the agreement, according
ton must be taken before the agree
men becomes valid.
Others, however, less optimistic,
believe that the miners have failed to
persuade operators to agree to their
demands. Payment of shot-firers has
been for some time the main issue.
Both sides have refused to pledge
themselves to this class of work
men. If there has been no agree
ment effective between the operators
and miners representatives as some
believe to be the case, the conven-
ton will in all likelihood be asked
to consider what shall be done fur
Their 1t is possible a compromise
may be attempted.
Condition of Unrest.
Rumors to the effect that miners
throughout the state are in condi-
ton of unrest occasioned by the
seeming impossibility of their repre-
sentatives to make operators come
to their way of thinking may be
so true that convention to show
the men exactly what has been ac-
complished has been called.
At Toluca, ILL.,, one of the points
where the miners have been resist
ing the work of improvement in mine
shafts, a mass meeting has been held
and it was decided that no further
resistance will be made. The trouble
had become so aggravated that
sheriff and 40 deputies had been
called to the scene.
Road Reports Shortage.
A report from Peoria contains the
following: THE coal supply laid up
by the Rock Island Railway COM
pany at all their storage points dur
ing the last winter is nearly exhaust
ed and they have been forced to call
on their reserve supply stored in the
yards of the larger cities along the
line. Peoria was perhaps the larg
est storing point in the state during
the winter but the coal stored is
now being loaded and shipped to
other points on the road where the
service is in danger, for lack of coal.
A specially constructed steam coal
holster has been brought into the
Peoria yards and an enormous
amount of coal has already been
hauled away. There is very little
coal coming into the city from out
side points. The strike of the miners
has cut off the source of supply and
the company is greatly in need. Prac-
tically no coal is being shipped into
this city, except from far eastern
points where the miners are still at
work.

CRIMINAL SUPERIOR COURT OPENS
Only One Prisoner Pleaded GuItySeveral Pleas of Not Guilty and NoIles Entered in Cases-Many Young Women as Witnesses-Jury Comes in Today

The criminal term of the superior court opened here at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon with Judge Reed on the bench. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. J. Smith.
 There was a large number in at tendance at the session, the court room being filed Among the number were several women and about twenty young women who have been sum moned in in connection with the Hill and Babson cases.
 There are 23 new cases and 15 con- tinued cases on the docket and the men at this session, a number much larger than usual. Several of them are under age, while others are less than 30 and most of them just past 21.
 The young women witnesses in the Hill and Babson cases, ranging from Is to 30 in age, were given a room by themselves after their attendance was noted. They made light of the situa- tion and had an ice water tea during the afternoon in which they seemed to enjoy themselves and their position and gave apparently little thought to the situation and the revolting character of the case with which they are con- nected.
 HiIl Babson and Moore were in the prisoners pen.
 George R. Haynes of Lebanon plead ed SulILy 10 the inert or $40 III money from Martha w. Berhaus on Nov. 4, 1909.
 State Attorney Hull thought the fell low had been unfortunate, but had re- ceived a lesson from his arrest. At torney Huntington spoke for him and Judge Reed fined him $10 and costs.
 In the case against Charles Flanna- gan and Holden Wilson, two boys, of Waterbury, nolles on terms were en- tered. State Attorney Hull stated that the boys went to Mason's Island to camp, one of the boys father own ing a cottage there. They found the Wilson cottage had been entered and they went into others, getting cooking utensils, clothes and a rifle, intending to return them. He considered it a boyiSh prank and without criminal in- tent. They are bright appearing boys and relatives were in the court room. Attorney Thayer appeared for them and spoke in their behalf. Upon his motion Judge Reed agreed to release the bondsman as soon as the costs are paid. Judge Reed told them the trouble should be lesson not to do such a thing again.
 Charles Maydock of Montville, a minor pleaded not guilty to stealing SIPS from Sam Kalanisky of that town on Nov. 4, 1909.
 Charged with the theft of a gold watch valued at $50 from the person of A. M. Johnson Nov. IS, 1909, in New London, Charles Hernnes, a soldier, pleaded not guilty.
