ADAMS STRIKE THREATENED
Union Men Say Company Dis.
criminated Against Them.

A second strike Of the employees Of the
Adams Express Company Is threatened for
to-day 10 force the reinstatement OF soma
men who have been discharged The rep.
resentatives Of the company say that the
men were discharged for misconduct but
the men hold that II was because they were
active members OF tho local of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Teamsters, 10 which
the drivers and helpers OF the Adams Ex-
press Company belong.
There has been good deal of friction
among the drivers and helpers OF the
Adams ENpress Companv since the gem
eral strike Of it's teamsters last fall. After
the Christmas HOLIDAYS many extra men
were laid off by all the companies. and I'm
the case of the Adams company especially
II was charged bv the men laid off that the
reason for their DISCHARGE was that the
company was discriminating against union
men.
This the representatives Of the company
have positively denied right along. They
say that the whole trouble has been stirred
up and kent alive bv the union men who
were laid of.
The Adams comDanv on account OF the
friction among certain element of its
men, has been preparing for strike for
some weeks. IT is thought that IL this
strike goes into effect general strike
against all the companies for recognition
OF the union may start again.

DIX ON WATER STORAGE
Favors State Ownership and
Control of Reservoirs.
rBy Telegraph 20 Thc Tribune.

LEV LeIeEfdpN 70 lfc lfluNUe.
Albany March 6.-gCvernor Dix tonight
definitely committed himself 10 the PROPOSE
ton of state ownership and control Of
water storage reservoirs huilt TO check dis
astrous foods or TO develop the state $
water power resources. Heretofore the
Governor, while advocating the develop
u,eht by the state OF water powers, has not
indicated whether or not he believed the
state should own and control permanently
the storage reservoirs, Power people have
advanced in legislation in other years a
proposition permitting the power companies
to pay for the building Of storage reser-
yoirs through fifty-yeaf bonds, after which
thev were 10 assume ownership of the
reservoirs. With the vast wealth Of water
power developed i'm that way
The Governor was asked if he favored the
enactment of a constitutional amendment
IN hermit the building OF state roads and
wafer storage reservoirs in the state forest
preserves He said he thought such an
amendment was not necessary. The state,
he said. owned the land, and as long as it
was dedicated permanently 10 the use Of
the public, as It would be in the building
of necessary roads or water storage reser-
voirs. he believed no change in the legisla-
tion would be necessary.
That means, then, that the state should
own anu control the storage reservoirs, and
should rent or sell the power developed by
them?" the Governor was asked
"Oh. yes" Re answered. The state, of
course. would own and control the storage
reservoirs built on state land"
Govern or Dix himself az a manufacturer
ia greatly interested in enterprises de
pendent on water power. He has given the
subject much study, and is considered
rather an authority on 1t by power people
and manufacturers I'm the northern part Of
the state. il has been held by most law
vers. though. that an amendment TO the
constitution was necessary to permit the
flooding Of state lands through tho build
ing of water storage reservoirs, and also
ia permi. the building OF state roads The
noint is that Section OF Article VII OF
the constitution forbds the sale, removal
-. destruction of timber on the lands now
in the forest preserve. These lands shall
he forever kept as wild forest lands. They
shall not be leased sold or exchanged or
be taken by any corporation, public or pri-
vate
Because OF this provision, Assemblyman
Merritt has introduced constitutional
amendment permitting the flooding OF state
lands under proper restrictive legislation.
This measure passed the Legislature last
veal. and is up again now 1t IS bitterly
opposed by The Association for the Preser-
walton Of the Adirondacks.

NOT BOUND BY CAUCUS
Assemblyman Seeley, of Steuben,
Tells of His Plans.

Eimira, n Y. March 6.-Dr John Seeley
OF Woodruff Assemblyman from the 2d
District OF steuben County, in an inter
view with an advertiser" correspondent
at Corning tonight. declared that he felt

of the Democratic caucus which chose Will
lam +. Sheehan as tho nominee for United
States Senator by the recent statement
given out by Governor DIX. DR.. Seeley was
on his way 10 resume his legislative duties
at Albany.

statement made by Governor Dix will 9f-

lature. but ! expect a general loosening up

that if a secret ballot were 10 be taken to-
day q majority of the Democrats would be
found TO be against the further continu-
ance OF Mr.. Sheehans candidacy The or
sanization thinks not and does not consent
TO such a vote. An open ballot would re-
suit in the sustaining OF the Sheehan
movement principally because many OF the
legislators would fear the Tigers big stick
and vote accordingly.
7 believe that il is up 10 the leaders 10
settle this matter. The interests Of the
party are being sacrificed by continuing
Mr.. Sheehan in the race when he cannot
be elected. Men from the upstate districts,
nominally Republican. reel this phase Of
the situation much more keenly than those
in the certain Democratic districts, who
will be willing to sit in Albany all sum-
mer, IL necessary.
Great pressure is being brought TO bear

MOTHER ALSO MAY DIE.
Lansing ChiId's Dress Brushed Blaze
in Kitchen Stove.

Leavenworth, Kan. July BINARY,
the 10-year-old daughter of Thomas
Chestnut, a farmer residing in Della
ware township, about a milo south of
Lansing, was probably fatally burned
by the igniting of her gown on a stove
in the family home. Mrs Hattie
Chestnut, her mother. who tried to
smother the flames, was horribly
burned and is not expected to re-
cover. Mr.. Chestnut is FRUSTRATED and
his condition is serious.
In some way the girl while playing
brushed against the stove and almost
of flames. The child's screams at
tracted her mother, who was in the
yard, and in her frenzied efforts to
smother the flames, her own clothing
was ignited and burned off.
In the meantime, one of the smaller
children, realizing what bad happened,
notified a telephone operator at Lans-
ing, who in turn called physicians,
who left at once for the scene In the
meantime the children's screams were
heard by 2assersby, who found Mrs.
Chestnut and her daughter writhing in
agony on the floor. In some way they
had extinguished the flames which en-
veloped them, but not until practically
every part of their bodies had been
burned.
Mr.. Chestnut was in ignorance of
the accident until almost an hour after
1t happened. He hurried home, but
when he arrived collapsed at sight of
the horribly burned bodies of his wife
and daughter.
No hope is entertained for the child's
recovery, while Mrs. Chestnut's condi-
ton is considered critical

the doctors splendid work in the past
and his value to the department, he
should be admonished and retained in
the service.
There has been no intimation as to
when President Taft will announce his
decision and make public the papers in
the case. The president has not had
time to look at the papers.
Since the opinion OF the attorney gen
eral became public, Dr. Wiley has been
maintaining a cheerful silence. His only
answer to the charges has been made
formally to the president, but he has
minated he not only did not propose
to resign, but expected to be chief of
the bureau of chemistry long after the
accusing committee passed into OBJ
security.
It was charged that DR.. H. H. Rusby,
Columbia university phermacognosist,
was put on the department payroll by
with the express understanding that
he should be called upon to perform
only such services as would be compen-
stated for at the rate of 500 day
for laboratory work and $50 day for
attendance in court.
The attorney general said the maxi
mum allowed by law for such services
was s11 a day and he Joined with the
personnel committee in the recOmmen-
dalton that the chemistry chief be al
lowed to resign.
Since this became known protests
against the proposed dismissal of DR..
Wiley have been pouring in from all
parts of the country. 1t was charged
that interests whose activities have
been interfered with by the pure food
