ARMED STRIKING RAILROAD LA
BORERS EVEN PREVENT RE.
MovAL OF WREckAGE.
ON THE BOSTON & MAINE
They Compel Relief Crew To Turn
Back At the Points of Rifles
Deputies Are Sworn In and
Battle Impends.

Albany. n. Y. - A wrecking train
on the Boston and Maine railroad
which was SEM out from Mechanic
Vile to clear up the freight wreck
which occurred yesterday near Ushers,
vas tagged by Italians before it
reached the wrCckage.
As the train slowed down two Ial-
ians covered the engineer and fireman
With rifles and refused to let the
wreckers proceed.
The train carried about 40 Italian
latorcrs who found themselves facing
IN angrv crowd of about so other
italians. all armed and who declared
hat the wrccking train should not go
surther.
Wrecking Train Forced To Back Up.
After considerable parleying the
train was forced to return to Mechan-
.cville.
Since July . the trackmen on the
Delay..re and Hudson railroad have
been on a strike. The railroad be-
tween Mechanicville and Crescent is
operated jointly by the Boston and
Maine and Delaware and Hudson COM
9anies, and the wreck was believed
to have been caused by pulling spikes
from the rails.
During the controversy the wreck
ers were told by the Italians who
held them up that a Boston and Maine
crew would not be permitted to clear
up the wreck, as that was the business
of the Delaware and Hudson company,
which indicates to the officials that the
striking trackmen or sympathizers
were responsible.
superintendent Tyler of the Boston
and Maine company called upon the
sheriff of Saratoga county for protec-
ton. Meanwhile deputies are being
sworn in and trains are being sent
from Crescent to Mechanicville by
way of Troy.

CHANGING THE FLAG
Admission of New States Causes
Rearrangement of Stars.
Change Not to Be Made Before July 4
1911-Present Style Fixed
When Oklahoma
Came In.

Washington.-With the admission OF
Arizona and New Mexico into the
Union of states two more stars must
be added to the union or blue field OF
the national flag. Under the law the
change will not be made before July 4,
1911, even should actual statehood be
accomplished before that date.
The law governing the subject is on
tanned in the act Of congress approved
April 4, 1918, and embodied in section
1892, Revised Statutes. That act pro-
vides as follows:
ION the admission of a new state
into the Union one star shall be added
to the union of the flag, and such addi-
ton shall take effect on the 4th day of
July then next succeeding such admis.
sion"
Since July 4, 1906, the official ar.
rangement of the stars in the blue
field has been such as to permit the
addition of more stars without de-
stroying the symmetry of the design.
In none Of the acts of congress relating
to the flag has the manner of arranging
the stars been prescribed, and before
the date named there was a lack of
uniformity in the matter.
Many flags in private use may be
seen with the stars arranged in various
ways. The early custom was to insert
the stars in parallel rows across the
blue field.
That custom. It Is believed has
been observed in the navy, at least,
since 1918.
After July 4, 1896, when Utah was
admitted to the Union, the As stars in
the flag were arranged in six rows, the
first, third and fifth rows having eight
stars. and tho econd fourth and sixth
rows seven stars, as follows:

The arrangement Of the stars to
meet the case of Oklahoma was made
In the summer Of 1907 by a joint board
of army and navy officers, of which Ad-
miral Dewey was the chairman by vir-
tue of his rank. The decision of that
board, afterward approved by the Sec
retaries of wal and navy and the presi-
dent, in turn. vas that the forty-sixth.
or Oklahoma star, be placed at the
lower right-hand corner of the blue
field of the flag.
After full consideration of the sub
ject the board approved an arrange
ment having eight stars in the first,
third, fourth and sixth rows, and
seven stars In the second and fifth
rows. The flag was changed accord
ingly, July 4, 1908, in recognition of
the admission of Oklahoma. 1t will
so remain until changed to recognize
the two new states of the Union.
The existing arrangement follows:

Russia has not figured extensively

seems to have ambitions in that direc-
ton. Reports from Tiflis are to the eff
feet that the area sown to cotton this
year is double that of 1909. In one dis
trict 400 acres are devoted to the
stape. That is a tiny fraction OF the
total In the United States, but high
prices have stimulated cotton growing
wherever practicable. and the aggre-
gate result may be a substantial gain
In the foreign output. /,

that the missile really drops from the
trajectory at SO sharp an angle that ii
delivers a glancing blow and therefore
does not penetrate armor plate of only
moderate thickness. II this is true,
the fighting will have to be at closer

I. The latest government report is ad-
ditionally favorable to a big wheat
crop. The returns, as interpreted by
the skilled statistician OF the New
York produce exchange. indicate a to-
tai harvest of 702, 404 900 bushels,
against an indication for the same
time last year of 652. 351 900 bushels.
The estimate for 1909 fell below the
actual result, for the total yield last
year was 1877. 1853, 900 bushels. Should
there be similar eYces this year there
will be a good chance for a record
breaking output.

When the joint board rearranged the
stars, in 1908, to meet the case of Okla
homa it did so with full consideration
of possible future changes involved in
the eventual admission of additional
states, with special reference to the
cases of Arizona and New Mexico.
Therefore the admission of two more
tates will call for no radical rearrange-
mont of the stars, but simply the addi-
ton of two stars in that many of the
six rows which are ready for them.
The new field as officially prepared
will look probably as follows.
