is THREATENED.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 26.-The roll
call of the convention Of the United
Mine Workers on whether or not the
delegates from nine local unions Of
central Pennsylvania shall be seated
resulted as follows:
Against-1,327.
For-1,099.
The majority reversed Lewis and in
this result is the second decisive de-
feat for his administration by this con.
vention
A general strike of the miners of
the bituminous coal fields Of the Unit
ed States and Canada will be called If
the mine operators Of all or any dis.
tricts refuse to sign contracts granting
increase of wages, according to the
declarations of many leaders of the
convention today.
Fight Cost $4,000.
A controversy that cost the United
Mine workers SlO,OU0 or about what
5000 coal miners can earn In a day
ended in the convention Of that organ
ization last night with ballot to de
termine whether or not the delegates
from nine local unions in the central
Pennsylvania district had been seated
1t is estimated that the cost of the
convention is about $1,000 day, and
day and half was devoted to de
bate and voting on the question.
President Thomas L. Lewis and the
credentials committee maintained thai
the delegates were in good standing
with the national organization an6
should have seats in the convention
The anti-Lewis faction led the opposi
ton on the grounds that the nine
unions had refused to pay an assess
ment levied by the district administra
ton. President Lewis held that the as
sessment was unconstitutional.

William J. tricks. He offered motion
that the resident Freebooter be authorized
to do the work.
To this Mr.. Birkhead objected because
of the condition Of the treasury. This
made Mr.. Joyce pretty warm and he re-
torted that he did not think it was very
high financing to order raceway bridge
built at cost Of 1896 with extras on the
side of $500 more and then refuse to do
this work because the treasury would
not stand it." Mr.. Joyce seemed very
anxious to have this matter settled before
the expiration of his term, and he offered
resolution that there be readvertise-
ment for bids to do the work at cost not
to exceed $500. and this was SO ordered.

Mr.. Donnelly made his farewell speech.
He said his term had expired and he
would not be with the Board next year,
but he hoped that the many good reasons
he had advanced tor the building of a
stone road between Florence and Borden
town would not be forgotten and that the
road would soon become reality instead
OF the dream 1t has been for the past two
years.
Mr.. Joyce also made a similar request
for road between Vincentown and

members prosperous new year, a motion
to adjourn was ordered

Husband Puts wife In shack,

Husband Puts Wife In Shack.
One year past the allotted three score
years and ten, Humphrey Fl. Martin and
his wife, Melinda, six years his junior,
were at Camden last week, before Vice
Chancellor Leaning seeking separation.
The woman, robust, and mighty indepen-
dent looking, filed the original petition for
divorce on the ground of constructive
desertion. Humphreys, known to scores
OF sportsmen In and around Barnegat bay,
filed an answer of denial and cross
petition. So both, with their counsel and
host of witnesses are haggling to end their
few remaining years separate and apart.
They 1--we at Manahwkin, Ocean county,
At least Mr.. Martin does. She has a nice
comfortable home, according to her hus-
band, but, SO Mrs. Humphreys says, her
septuagenarian spouse left her to live in a
shack back of the Martin Boat Clubs
house on the Barnegat bay. "Old man
Humph, as he is Familiarity known, who
has the reputation of cussin' like a pirate,
but altogether unconsciouslY, alleges his
wife left him. SO there you are.
The couple were married September 80,
1882, by Squire Stacey Hazelton, the dog
! berry in those days of Manahawkin.
Three children were born to them and
from all accounts they lived In compare
tive martial happiness until 1905, when
the separation came.
Mrs. "Humph" declares her husband
has $1,000 worth of real estate besides
~. 600 personality, all of which "Humph''
denies. He asserts that he has nothing
but his shack from which he maKes liv-
ing looking after sportsmen in the summer
and he makes the counter assertion that
his wife had plenty, comfortable home,
and all that.
Judge Horner represented "Humph'
and Lawyers Berry and Higgins. Mrs.
Martin.

With the idea of releasing ten-year-old
boy from jail, Judge Horner held special
session of court on Wednesday.
The child In question was the grandson
of Mrs. Ida Eckert. the latter having been
arrested at Salem and brought here. She
was charged with stealing a watch and
some clothing from Job Shinn, of Mount
Holly, for whom she acted as housekeeper
The woman pleaded guilty, but because Of
the child, she was released ON pro-
baton In order that the little one might
not suffer.

Browns Mills. Both defendants pleaded

He was not asked to plead to the latte
crime.
Harry Gilbert, of Burlington, charged
with stealing bicycle, pleaded not guilty
He will soon be up before the court on
more serious charge, when his conviction
will hardly be matter of doubt.
After Gilbert was remanded back to tn,
jail he made acknowledgment to Sheriff
Worrell and others of having stolen let
ter from rural box near Riverton. from
which he distracted a check for 81. 90

can be helped by running water into
the silo as it is being filed. A wind
elevator is by far the most satisfac-
tory means of getting the silage from
the cutter to the top of the silo. A
long canvas tube extending down into
the silo keeps the silage well mixed.
Tramping the silage thoroughly as it
is put in is one Of the secrets of hav-
ing it keep well. 1t should be espe.
eially well tramped around the edges
After the silo is filled a few oats may
be scattered around on top. These
will sprout, forming an cir tight cover
ing. which will keep all but the ton
few inches Of silage from spelling.

Size Of the siIo.

The size OF the silo viii depend upon
the amount Of stock to which silage is
to be fed 1t is better to get size from
depth rather than from diameter. as
the pressure due to additional depth
causes the silage to keep better. This
greater compactness also increases the
capacity Of the silo. If fresh silage is
to be had at all times the silo should
be Of such size that at least two
inches in depth viii be fed each day
II fed slower than this it will spoil on
top and the value will be reduced. The
ordinary size for a quarter section is
sixteen feet in diameter and thirty feet
in depth. II more capacity is wanted
ten to twenty feet may be added to the
depth. The following table, condensed
from bulletin 100 Of the Iowa expert
ment station, gives the capacity of silos
of various sizes:
