KRIETER REMOVED
 FROM OFFICE

Knoxville, Tenn, June 2S.-The removal of Albert B. Krieter of New York city from the office of third vice president of the Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union of North America. was formally sustained by the unions convention at Hale Springs, near here, by vote of 149 to S6.
 It was charged that Kreiter had made threats to representative of the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers association that contracts would be observed under certain conditions; that he had called strikes without authority, and that he had refused to report to the president of the union as required by the laws of the union. The Kreiter case has been the chief matter before the convention which assembled last Monday, and 1t was not disposed of until late yesterday afternoon. The action of President George l.. Berry and the board of directors in removing Kreiter from office last November was affirmed The convention will adjourn tomorrow.

buttons. The total tare does not exceed ten pounds. and the total cost not over 40 cents per bale.
 The standard compress bale saves to the farmer or owner on local freight rates to the seaboard by reason of dis placement and ability to make through shipment in one car without change. esti- mated 50 cents a bale. In steamship rates it saves to the farmer or owner by req son of displacement, estimated 50 cents a bale. 1t is claimed that 15 cents bale Is saved in insurance. Another great saving lies in the fact that the package ia uniform and clean. The spinner read fly pays a premium of a quarter of a cent a pound on clean packages. It is pointed out by the Standard Compress company that increased profits arise by reason of ability of the farmer or owner to hold cotton at initial points, care fully compressed, sampled and warhoused subject to immediate delivery as market quotations may Justify. The Standard compress also makes practical the guar anteeng of bills of lading. The Standard Compress company says In Its prospectus under the head of Scientific Methods:
 ''The large steam congresses now in general use crush the cotton with one stroke of 250O tons pressure on the bale. This unscientific process is done so rapid ly that the air does not have time to escape from the bale. and this sets up a condition leading to grave possibilities ot spontaneous combustion. The Standard compress employs but 400 tons pressure by hydraulics-gently expeling all the air and nursing pp the bale to it's high density.
 "In short, the day has come for & rad ical change in southern methods or hano- ling cotton, which has long been na- tional disgrace. This change can only become effective by reversing the old or der of things. Instead of the cotton go- ing to the compress, the compress must Ego to the cotton and this can only De done by the Standard compress "nlcn we own and which is protected by basic pat ent. issued by the United States govern ment.'

which follow each other progressively until the bale is ready to tie.
 First-The hydraulics are applied to the ends of the bale. compressing 1t longitu- dinally to the dimension of 4s inches end to end.
 Second-While the first operation is in progress the hydraulics automatically take up the sides, compressing the same to the dimension of 24 inches side to side.
 Third-The hydraulics then instantly ap-
 y to the bottom paten, upon which the bale rests, rapidly forcing it upwards and compressing to the dimensions of "A inches between top and bottom.
 The foregoing is rapid operation. not exceeding all told one minute. The in- serton of the bale and tying it out require an additional 30 seconds. Thus the whole operation of compressing a plantation bale into standard bale is one and one half minutes.
 Dimensions of plantation bale approxi- mate 27x45x5S inches; density, Il pounds per cubic foot.
 Dimensions of standard bale, actual, 24x24x4S inches; density, 32 pounds per cubic foot.
 Every mechanical feature of the com press Is practically automatic. The bale being inserted, one motion closes and se- curely locks the sides and ends. In an instant the hydraulics automatically ap- ply, as above stated, and compression is finished The sides and ends of the com press then rapidly recede, or open out, leaving the bale free for the bands, or tying out. though securely held to its fixed density in the jaws of the press. or between the upper and lower platens. The tying out being completed, the low CT paten is relssed and drops of its own weight into it's original position. and the perfected bale is removed.
 Solves Transportation Problem The Standard compress, it is maintained, solves great transportation problem, and it's economies for the planter are maifold. It especially provides for the | localzation of the compressing and ware housing of the cotton at It's initial point and at the time it is ginned, and this Is the one vital point in a list of econo- | mics at once of paramount importance to ! the cotton grower. local banker. mer- chant or whoever purchases the cotton. Country damage is seen to be practically | eliminated by the ability of the farmer

Tt gave me great pleasure to see the demonstration today, which I consider in every way successful; the machine being mechanically perfect.
 q have no doubt that this machine will eventually prove the salvation of the eotton-producing states as to the shipping and handling and storage os cotton. It should be perfectly satis- factory to the spinner, exporter and country merchant as a matter of eeo- monies. If satisfactory arrangements can be made. I intend to erect one of these Standard presses at Waldo, Ark. to be ready for business by Septem- Der l."

It Is claimed that in It's process of re- baling it absolutely overcomes every
 objection to the present compressed bale. Those who saw 1t in operation
 expressed themselves enthusiastically over the features of the new design. Every bale turned out being of the same size and well covered no cotton is exposed and there is no waste what ever in handling. The standard bale can be loaded in cars like boxes or brick of uniform size. The new bale can be handled inexpensively, and as it has a density of 32 pounds to the cubic foot, it consumes less platform pr car floor space than the present

bale; and 100 bales can be stored in a 34-foot car with less work than 65 of the present compressed bales. It is seen, therefore, that the standard bale is great transportation proposi- ton.

There is no intri- cate mechanism, and the compress can be built at any large mechine shop. The setting up of the compress can be done in one weeks time by any good mechanic with little cheap labor to assist him. The operation of the compress is very simple and can be easily done by negro labor. The compress being Of steel cast ings and wrought steel, will, it is claimed, last indefinitely without repairs.
 The machine is constructed to compress the cotton in three distinct operations,

The cholera victim was Mrs. Ia

took into her home as lcdgers few
weeks ago two sailors who were mem-
hers of the crew of a steamer sup
posed to have sailed from an Italian
port. The sailors subsequently, were
taken i'll and disappeared. Efforts
are now being made to locate them.
The children of Mrs. Mastrodenico
are under observation at the Quaran-
tine station and the board has already
begun, examining the many persons
who may have come into contact with
the dead woman. Her house. i'm the
congested Italian district. will be
thoroughly fumigated and an precau-
tions taken to protect the twenty-five
families. including half hundred
children, who live in the building.
The delay in determining definitely
that the woman died of cholera was
due to difficulty in recognizing the
germs of the disease from the culture

Washington of supply of anti-chol-
era serum with which tests were
