A General Purpose Poultry House.


This building Is ID feet wide, and
can be as long as desired adding an
other set or sets of rooms and sheds
at one or both ends. The construc-
tion Is simple, but durable. Outside
walls are covered on outside and In
side with light weight prepared roof
Ing, placed on cheap lumber. Plaster
board may be substituted for the in
side. Studs are 2x2, and there are
two sets; waterproof paper being
placed between them. Thus double
air space Is secured. Rafters are of
2x4, and may be stripped beneath
and practically the same construction
used as for the sides; using thicker
roofing. So constructed, the building
will be very warm.
Foundation Is OF stone, brick or
grout Floors are of cement, covered
with dry sand. Broken stone, well

cheaper than cement, and makes a
fair substitute. The ventilators, be-

THRUST STOOD BY EMPLOYEES
Havemeyer Left Orders to Care for
Crooked Weighers.


New York, June 2.-That the late
II. o. Havemeyer, ex-president of the
American Sugar Refining company,
gave directions two weeks before his
death in 1907 to "take care of the
boys" was part of the testimony heard
today in the trial of three officials OF
the company charged with completely
in a conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment of customs duties.
Ernest w. Gerbracht, refinery super
intendent; James F. Bandernagel, ex-
cashier of the refinery, and Charles P.
Heike, secretary y-treasurer of the COM
pany, are the three on trial.
"Take care of those boys; get coun-
sci for them; see them through it,
were the orders Gerbracht said he re-
ceived from Havemeyer when he in
formed him after the first arrest of
checkers that the men insisted on their
innocence.
"Taking care of the boys" Ger
bracht later testified, had extended to
paying their wages from the day they
left the company's service until the
present time.
The salary of Oliver Splitter, ex-dock
superintendent, who was pardoned
from the Atlanta penitentiary by Pres
ident Taft, Gerbracht said, was paid
to Mrs. Splitter while her husband was
in prison and he believed she was still
getting it.

FLY THoUUANDs OF MILES,
Prizes offered for Long Distance
Flights in United States.

New York, June 1.-Aerial flights
from New York to ST. Louis and from
New York to Chicago will next be at
temped, substantial money prizes for
the accomplishments of both feats hav-
ing been offered.
A prize of $50, 900 was offered to-
night by the New York World and st.
Louis Post-Dispatch to the frst aviator
who flies an aeroplane from New York
City to st. Louis or from st. Louis to
New York.
The New York Times announced that
it had arranged with ]. G. Shaffer, Of
the Chicago Evening Post for an offer
of $25, 900 for an aeroplane race be-
tween Chicago and New York.
Mayor Gaynor announced the prize
for the New York-St. Louis flight at
the Hotel Astor tonight, where Glenn
H. Curtiss, who on Sunday wrote a
new chapter in the history of aviation
by making a flight from Albany to
Governors Island, was the guest of
the New York World, whose $40, 900
award he won. Conditions governing
the flight will be announced after a
conference with aeronautic experts.
A distinguished company gathered
to meet the young aviator tonight. At
the table the modest Curtiss sat be-
tween the mayor and Brigadier Gene
raj Howe, U. S. A., in command of the
department Of the East.
Hao1 of lof oohlp-
grams and kilograms was read. Among
them were messages from Bleriot the
French aviator; the Aero Club of
France; Count Jacques de Lesseps,
who recently flew across the English
channel; Hart 0. Berg, the "father of
aviation" and Hubert Latham, the
French aviator.
Hudson Maxim, one of the speakers
of the evening, said:
GAS the warless era, of which we
catch glimpses in our dreams of dis
tant future, is unquestionably yet far
away, we must in our prediction look
to the flying machines in war as well
as sport and commerce.
"We shall not have to wait 100 years
for the staunch, wind-defying machine,
with automatic equilibriation. Very
soon automobiling of the air will be as
safe as .automobiling upon the earth
now is. Neither shall we have to wait
100 years for that spectacular eventu-
ation-a fight between aerial navies,
for these are bound to come"
Curtiss was enthusiastic over the
new offer, but, in the absence of de-
tails as to stops allowed and other con-
ditions, he would not say definitely
whether he would enter the contest.
Charles X. Hamilton quickly an
nounced, however, that he would be a
contestant. He had planned to enter
the New ork-Albany race, but Curtiss
was too quick for him.
The announcement of the prize offer
ed for the New York-Chicago fight
was issued from the Times Office late
tonight as follows:
"The New York Times announces
that it has arranged with ]. C. Shaffer,
of the Chicago Evening Post, for an
offer of $25, 600 for an aeroplane race
between Chicago and New York, the
details of which will be announced
later"

IGNORE RATE ACT.
Railroads Prepare 10 Raise Com
modify Tariffs July Isl.
Shippers Take Immediate Steps to
Secure njunction-Roads Pre-
pared for Stubborn Fight

Chicago, June 2.-Ignoring the ac-
tion of the government in obtaining a
court order restraining an increase in
rates, Eastern railroads today filed
with the Interstate Commerce commits
sion at Washington tariffs of increased
commodity rates to take effect July /.
Hearing of the unexpected action OF
the Eastern railroads, shippers, repre-
sented by the Illinois Manufacturers
association, took immediate steps to
secure action by the government SINH
lar to that taken with respect to West
ern increases.
j. M. Glenn, secretary of the associ-
alton, issued circular similar to the
one issued by his association in the
Western cases and sent copies of it to
all congressman and senators and to
the attorney general and to the presi-
dent.
The members of the association ex-
pect as a result bill will be filed in
one of the Eastern cities to restrain
the Eastern railroads from putting the
new rates into effect.
No class rates are affected and not
more than so per cent, possibly only 40
per cent, of the commodity rates are
involved. The increases will be i'm
posed upon all shipments in the terri
tory between the Mississippi river and
the Atlantic seaboard and north Of the
Ohio river to the Canadian border.
1t is stated that approximately &C
per cent of the business in the vast
territory over which the increase will
pertain is done on commodity rates.

the break is due to Bourne's change of
affiliation or whether his insurgency is
the result of his break with the presi-

now regarded by the insurgent leaders
as a recruit in their camp and by vot-
ing with them continually, as he has
done on the interstate commerce bill,
he is serving his probationary period.

Washington, May 30.-The railroad
regulation bill will probably be finally
voted on in the senate tomorrow.
Wednesday it is the plan of the senate
leaders to send the bill as finally adopt
ed by the upper house to President
Taft. He will consider the bill care
fully and make a number of recon-
mendations. 1t is hoped this way that
the bill finally adopted by congress
will be nearer the form first sent to
congress than the battle-scarred rem
nant adopted by the house, and that
is now on its way to passage in the
senate. f
The expected changes are to be made
in conference. The bills of the two
houses differ considerably. 1t is GER
tain that the house will refuse to adopt
the bill passed by the senate and that
the measure will go to conference. 1t
is here that Taft's study of the bill
passed by the senate is expected to
count. The senate leaders will ask
Taft to make Immediately recon-
mendations to the committee suggest
ing the sort of bill he would be willing
to sign. 1t is believed he will recon-
mend that certain of the original pro-
visions be reinstated.
The conference committee has prac-
tically the last word in forming the
bill. The two houses can adopt or re-
ject the suggestions of the committee
or send the measure back for further
consideration, but no amendment can
be adopted. The regulars expect to
rush the conference report through
during the final days of the session,
when congressman are anxious to get
away from Washington. Naturally,
congress does not want to enact bill
that will be vetoed by the President,
and so his recommendations, it is ex-
pected, will have considerable weight
with the committee.

At the Massachusetts station, with

the alfalfa ration would increase the
