PUT IT UP TO MITCHELL.
Former Head of Miners Must Quit
Civic Federation Is Decree.

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-After debat-
ing the question at two previous con-
ventions the United Mine Workers of
America by vote of 1,213 to 967 have
decided to amend the constitution that
John Mitchell, former president of the
miners, either will have to resign from
the Civic federation or retire from the
miners organization. The Socialist
element of the convention voted al
most solidly against Mitchelps connec-
ton with the Civic federation, as did
also the Lewis faction. Mitchell will
have until April to decide to which or
ganization he will cling. A year ago
he was quoted as saying he would not
forsake the miners under any consider
alton.
The convention will adjourn today.
Indianapolis probably will land the
next convention, although Washington,
Portland, Ore; Columbus and other
cities are seeking to win the honor.

ten Die IN A CAISSON.
laborers of Pennsylvania Railroad
Drowned In Newark

Drowned In Newark.
New York, Feb. l. - Ten negroes
working in the compressed air cais-
sons in the water under the old Cen
ter street bridge of the Pennsylvania
railroad met their death late last night
by the bursting of the caissons. All
ten of them were drowned but it is
not known how many more were
caught when the water burst in. The
Center street bridge is near the pro-
posed Saybrook terminal.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of chain on an earth bucket.
There are two doors at the digging
end of the compartment, one of which
is always closed. The chain on the big
dirt bucket snapped without warning
allowing the bucket to swing through
the closed door, smashing it, and the
water rushed into the compartment.
The compartment is about fifteen
feet under water. The bridge is near
the center of the city of Newark and
is near the proposed site of the ter
minal station for the new short line
railroad connecting Newark with Man.

NO SUNDAY FUNERALS.

clersymen of Norwich, N. Y, Say They
Have to Preach on That Day.
Utica, N. Y, Feb. 1.-The village Of
Norwich in the future will have no
Sunday funerals if the clergymen, un-
dertakers and liverymen there carry
out the terms of an agreement to
which they have subscribed.
1t is contended by representatives of
all three classes that Sunday funerals
are undesirable and unnecessary, and
hereafter all funerals which ordinarily
would be conducted on Sunday will
hold over until Monday.
The clergymen say that it is often
inconvenient for them to attend a Sun
day funeral, as their time is limited ON
account of having to attend from two
to three services on that day and
preach.

A breadmaking machine which will
quickly knead enough dough to make
one to six loaves of bread has been
invented by a New Jersey man. The
machine is in the form of a cylinder
which can he clamped fast to the
kitchen table and which has a lid
hinged to the top. Inside the cylinder
is spiral blade which is operated by
a handle at one end. The dough is
poured inside. and as the handle turns
it mixes and kneads by compression
against the ends of the cylinder. The
consistency of the dough can be
judged by the difficulty with which
the handle works without the trouble
Of lifting the lid This method of
kneading is not only much easier and
quicker than doing the work by hand,
but is more sanitary. If the machine
is kept clean it is likely to be much
cleaner than the cooks hands, no mat

DR.. William G. Winslow Of Boston,
noted writer and former Episcopal
minister, who lost his eyesight four
years ago, has recovered his vision.
Two artificial glass lenses have been
substituted for the natural lenses, and
he can see through them.
With the cataracts the natural
lenses of his eyes were removed.
Glass lenses were substituted. These
serve as well as the real ones. The
operation is regarded as one of the
most remarkable ever performed and
is the first of its kind. The glass
lenses flash to the brain the picture
upon which the eye rests. Without
them there is nothing but glare of
light.
The smallest and most delicate
knives imaginable were used in the

CRAFT FOUND IN
elephant HUNTS
Odd Case From Burma Before
English Priyy Council.
LORD CHANCELLOR WONDERS.

Worldwide Spread of Political Peeu-
lation Astounds Jurist-Superintend
ent and His Assistants Who Padded
Payrolls on Government Staying Ex-
pedition Stands Convicted.
The judicial committee of the Eng
lish privy council has been wrestling
with case of alleged graft in elephant
hunting in Burma. The lord chancel-
lor, after hearing the evidence in Lon
don, is said to have asked Lord Atkin-
son in a voice of wonderment if there
Is any remote spot on earth or any
occupation, however strange, to which
graft has not extended.
Gratt Old as World.
II fear, my lord" replied one of the
counsel, that graft is merely the mod
ern expression of human instinct as
old as the race ITSELF
The case came before the privy coun-
Gil on appeal from the chief court of
lower Burma. The acting superintend-
ent and his assistant and the chief
clerk of the Kheddah departmental
principal business of which is the con-
duct of organized hunts Of wild ele-
phants-were all three accused of hav-
ing padded the payrolls, commissary,
ETC., Of large elephant hunting party.
The government asserted that there
were only 292 hunters in the expedi-
ton. The defendants, it was alleged
had cooked up the accounts so as to
make it appear 34s men had taken
part in the hunt.
Trial Lasted Three Months.
After a trial lasting almost three
months. and in which pretty much all
the expert elephant hunters in that
part of Burma testified ON one side or
the other, the defendants were found
guilty. The charge was that there had
been a criminal breach of trust under
section 400 of the Indian penal code.
The defendants appealed to King
Emperor George through the privy
council, which has decided that the
prisoners put up poor case on appeal
and must stand convicted.
