NEW YORK. March S.-Twenty two trunks and numerous travelling cases and hat boxes left by Mrs Katheron Clemmons Gould a. the Hotel St. Regis as security for an unpaid board bill were included in 8 lot of unclaimed baggage that was put up for sale at auction today. Mrs. Gould left the baggage at the hotel when she went away nearI7' two years ago and the management has been unable to get any response from numerous bills and letters sent 10 her at her present home near
 Lynrhbrg. Va. Neither has the management been able to secure any satisfaction from her former hus- band. Howard Gould. who is under stood to have disclaimed all re- sponsibility for the bills. The exact amount of Mrs Gould's indebted ness to the St. Regis has not been made public, but it is reported to be more than $5,O00, as it includes not only the rent for her apart. ments, but also the charges for en- tertainments and parties she gave during her stay.

A breadmaking machine which will quickly knead enough dough to make one to six loayes of bread has been invented by a New Jersey man. The machine is in the form of a cylinder which can be clamped fast to the kitchen table and which has a lid hinged to the top. Inside the cylinder Is a spiral blade which is operated by a handle at one end. The dough is poured inside, and as the handle turns 1t 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 1t is likely to be much cleaner than the cooks hands, no mat ter how often she washes them.

UREN DECLARES AGAINST THE
 MERGER

William J Uren. who resigned last Saturday as superintendent of the so-ealled Bigelow properties. which have been under the management Of the Calumet & Heela since the con clusion fthe osceola litigation this week issued a statement in op- position to the consolidation plan. The statement follows in part:
 I find it my duty 10 the stoekhold- CTS in all of those mines for which l have acted as general superintend- ent since 1905. to give them such knowledge of facts as they desire and as is their right to possess, in consideration of the proposed consol idation with the Calumet & Hecla. In the light of my acquaintance with those properties which have been until now, under my personal charge namely, the Osceola Consolidated Ahmeek, Seneca. Isle Royale. and Tamarack, wish to state that l believe emphatically that a consoli- dation of these properties with the C. 6. H would be a grave mistake. losing more to such properties in as- sets and advantages which they are now sure of than could be gained by any hoped for economies through consolidation.
 endorse the arguments advanced by T. L. Chadbourne in his circular addressed to the Ahmeek stockhold CTS, and respect his action in pre- senting his views to the public. My own registration as general superin- tendent, now makes it possible for me to support MT Chadbourne's ar suments with the following facts:
 The improvements at Osceola Con .,olidated claimed by the Calumet & Hecla as a result of their manage ment are the natural results of i'm proyements in operations conducted hy she former management. The Cal Unet and Hecla management have instituted no changes in mining op- erations. These improvements have been under way for some years and the property within the last two years has reached the point to re ceive the benefit of such improve ments. There has been some ques. ton as 10 whether the Osceola branch of the osceola Consolidated could operate under the present price of copper. Extensive repairs made during the past nine months leave this branch in such condition that it could be worked profitably at the present price of copper.
 A. the North Kearsage Branch, the openings in the lower levels show good ground and this property is capable of a steady production for many years to come Openings tri- butaTy to No. 1 shaft on the south side in the lower levels eventually will get into grounT under the rich Wolverine workings There are five levels opened south of No. l toward the Wolverine line that show very good ground-no stoping done, just drifting.
