WAR In THE GRANGE.
The Farmers Are Divided Into Two
Hostile Camps. |

Atlantic City Nov. 16.-With several
thousand members from all parts of the
country in attendance, the National
Grange patrons of husbandry opened
its annual convention on the steel pier
here today Many matters of import
ance to the Changers will be consider
ed, among which will be that of rep
resentation. The indications are there
will be a lively time over the control of
the National Grange. The farmers are
divided into two camps. the insurgents
and the standpatters. The former as
sert that the present administration of
the Grange is closely affiliated politi-
calIy with so-called Republican stand
patters in many states.
Among those who are leading the in
surgents in their efforts to gain con-
troll of the national body are William
T. Greasy worthy master of the Penn
sylvania Grange; George p. Hampton
of New York; c. B. Kegler of Wash
ilIgton state, and J. w. Helme of Mich
igan.
The work of the Grange during the
last year will be outlined in the an
nuaI address of National Grange Mas
ter N ]. BatcheI of New Hampshire.
The tariff and the high cost of living
together with the charge that the farm
er is partly accountable for the latter
will receive the attention of the dele
gates.

SEVEN men HURT.
In a Collision Between an Auto and
Trolley Car.

New York, Nov. 16.-Seven men were
injured, three so seriously that they
probably will die, when the automobiIe
in which they were returning down
town from the Walsh-Keller bout IN
Bronx borough early today collided
with a trolley car in Harlem.
Not an occupant of the automobile
escaped injury George Stivers, a down
town business man, was dragged under
the car for 80 feet and was picked I'D
in a dying condition. Charles Larkin
and James Buchanan, neighbors of
Stivers, also were hurt.
Stivers' first thought when he recov-
cred consciousness for moment was
for an obligation due one of his COM
panions. Calling Thomas Lee, owner
of the New England hotel a downtown
hostelry and one of the less seriously
injured members of the party, the
dying man said:

TRY TO RAISE RATES.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The attempt of
about IA railroads operating between
the Mississippi and Missouri river to re-
sumo advances in rates already con-
demned from Washington was thwarte6
by suspension order announced by the
interstate commerce commission today
IN what is known as the Burnhan-
Munger case of Kansas City.
The suspension involves a long
struggle of jobbing interests in Mis-
souri, river cities and affects an i'm
mense traffic from the east. The ul-
innate decision will be of vital impor-
tance to not only the immediate busi-
ness but as precedent to rate max
ing.
The commission ordered lower class
rates from the Mississippi to the Mis-
souri, applicable on shipments moving
from points in the east. These lower
rates were to remain for two years
The railroads appealed to the courts
and when the supreme court of the
q. S. sustained the commission the
railroads put into effect the decreased
rates. The litigation extended over
almost two years and then with the
near expiration of the period fixed by
the commission the roads gave notice
of the contemplated restoration of the
rates which had been condemned.

DUE TO BIG CROPS.
Secretary Wilson's Explanation of the
Drop in Food Prices.

Washington, Nov. 16--Full bins of
corn and oats have had much to do
with the fall in meat prices in the opin-
ion of Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson.
THE present break in meat prices"
said Secretary Wilson, in discussing
the reports from various cities, ''is
hardly normal market development.
w hiIe it is true that we should expect
a downward trend of prices because of
great crops of corn and oats we have
had. the present sudden drop in meats
is too pronounced to be an effect from
that cause altogether. I believe the
drouth in the west and the consequent
shortage and high price of hay are
responsible for an unusual movement
for this season of farmers rushing to
market with their stock. They see it
pays better to sell now than to feed
through the winter. They probably
are also influenced by anticipation of
a lower market
ITS too soon after election to con-
meet politics with the decline of prices.
The country is full of corn and oats,
that's the reason fundamentally for q
lowering of prices"

ECLIPSE TONIGHT.
Moon Will Be Obscured From to Z
O'Clock.

A total eclipse of the moon, visible
in Topeka, is scheduled for this even
ing. According to astronomic authori-
ty. the moon will rise partially
eclipsed at 5:55 p. m, will be fully OBJ
scured at 6:47, and will leave the shad-
ow at 1858. Occurring at convenient
hour in the evening the eclipse will
present favorable conditions for OBJ
servation.
Professor Morehouse of Chicago dis
agrees with some scientists in that
there may be a satellite of the moon.
Scientists will take advantage of the
eclipse tonight to search for the sus-
pected satellite. Professor Morehouse
states that he is skeptical of the pres
ence of such a satellite, which has
been suspected but which has been un-
able to be discovered so far because
of the brightness of the rays of the
moon.
