ICE HEAVIER THAN WATER
Water Frozen Under immense Pres

If water is frozen under immense pres

THE POTATO SITUATION.

The potato crop in the East, and by
this is meant the states that produce
potatoes for fall and winter use, com
mercially speaking, will faI: short of
last year. Reports indicate a drop in
the yield per acre this year. The total
shortage in the eastern crop is indi-
Gated at an average of about 2S per
cent.
The potato crop in the central and
northern states presents a varied CON
dltion. In some the outlook is much
better than last year, while in others
1T is not so good. Minnesota has about
the same acreage and the outlook is
for largely increased crop. Michi-
gan s acreage is larger, but the crop
is probably somewhat short. In Wis.
consin the crop is far better than a
year ago.
North Dakota, South Dakota. Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
all have a much larger crop than last
year. 1t will be seen that the crop is
far better than last year in all of the
states beginning with and including
Wisconsin and extending to the Pacific
coast. The surplus in these states will
more than make up for the shortage
IN the eastern states.
AS a general summary, there are
more potatoes this year than last in the
central and western states that are i'm
portant as commercial producers of
spuds for fall and winter purposes
There is not thing in the present
outlook that will justify abnormally
high prices AS a matter of fact, the
crop of the whole country, fall and
winter potatoes, is not materially short
of last year, hardly worth considering.

WILD TRAIN KILLS WORKERS

car were scattered helter-skelter when
the crash came. The engineer, fireman

DIAMOND KING SUED.

Arrested as He Eats First
Mea1

Chicago.-Louis H. Goldsoll, the one
time "paste diamond king" who oper-
ated hundred stores in various cities
in which every sort of cheap gem was

100000, returned to Chicago recently.
AS he finished his first meal, Bailiff
Scott of the municipal court served
notice on him that he had been sued

thousands of dollars annually for the
cheap jewels which he distributed.

At the headquarters of the Catholic

he believed Francisco de la Barra had
been elected vice president.
DR.. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, indie
pendent candidate for the vice presi-
dency, was defeated.
Madero announces that at least one
of the present cabinet, Ernesto Ma
dero, the minister of finance, would re-
main. Minister Madero demurred, it
is said on the ground that it might
raise the cry of nepotism, but he has
consented to retain the portfolio. The
portfolio of foreign relations has been
offered to de la Barra, but he has ex-
pressed his unwillingness to accept.
Grounds for a contest of the cleo

In obedience to an order of the Fed
GRAFTON of Shopmen, about 10000 work
men employed in the shops of the Hi
nois Central and other Hartman lines
quit work at 10 clock Saturday morn
ing, the strike order being generally
obeyed by every man under the juris-
diction of the federation.
Chicago.-The threatened strike of
the shopmen on the Hartman lines to
enforce recognition of the newly or
ganized federation of shopworkers be-
came reality Saturday. The number
of men who quit in the Is states af
fected was estimated at between 90,
900 and 10000 by the union men, al
though Julius Kruttschnitt, vice presi-
dent Of the Hartman lines, says the
number was much smaller. Reports
from most of the points indicated that
the men walked out without demon
4strations and no rioting was reported.
Traffic was continued without inter
ruption, and the railroad heads say the
.shopmen' S strike, even if extended
would not interfere with transporta-
tion.
The response to the strike order was
general throughout the middle west
and in the south. The men had re-
ceived notices from the international
presidents of the five crafts directly
involved, and when the hour came the
men laid down their tools and left.
Unions Figure on $1,000.
The men involved are divided into
the following groups, according to the
union leaders:
