RAIL MACH|N|STS
IN SESSION TODAY
ON STRIKE QUESTION
Convention at Davenport
Will Decide Whether to
Pay Benefits.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-A new turn was
given the Illinois Central strike situa-
ton when it was announced today that
the decision of the machinists' union as
to paying strike benefits would be given
out in Davenport. Iowa, before night.
A part of the executive committee met
here yesterday to decide the matter. II
was admitted the calling of a strike
rested largely on its action The
officers left last night for Davenport,
where their annual convention is in
session. 1t was inttmated that II there
were any disagreements among the
members the matter might 60 before the
convention.
President James O'Conneli attended
the meeting here yesterday. It was at
his suggestion that the final decision
was delayed. In labor circles It is gem
orally believed that the action Of the
officers here yesterday was unfavorable
to a strike, and that they refused to
take the responsibility of voting a strike
benefit without the concurrence Of all
the members of the committee.
At the headquarters of the Illinois
Central Federation officers were waiting
returns from a poll Of the strike senti-
ment taken in various locals.

MISS BRANDT SAYS
STOCK COMPAN|E
ARE GAINING FAVOR
IShe Thinks They Benefit
Both Players and
Patrons.

There is scarcely a city of any i'm
portance In the United States that does
not support permanent stock COM
pany," says Miss Anna Brandt, ingenue
with the Holden Players at the Majestic
Theater. This form of amusement has
enjoyed steady growth in the past
four or five years. and where former
ly II was looked upon simply as a sum-
mer amusement attended only because
of lack Of the regular attractions, It
Is now a permanent institution, cater
ing to many thousands Of theatergoers.
ITO the public, the stock company
offers the opportunity of witnessing
standard plays. well presented, at mod
crate cost; to the actor, 1t offers a
longer season and under more pleasant
conditions than an engagement on the
road-at the same time broadening his
artistic horizon far beyond the limits
of production where he must play the
same part for an entire season.
But aside from its qualities as an
amusement institution, and its oppor-
tunities for the player, and its advant-
ages for the dramatist, It is also a
constant source Of interest and amaze
ment to the thousands of playgoers
who regularly patronize the theatos
where stock holds .he boards.
ITO see a new play presented each
week by the same company of actors
with a complete scenic and costume
equipment for each production, and all
this accomplished with performances
every evening and three maunees 4
week, is what astonishes the average
playgoer. But the people who con-
stantly work in stock. the actors as
well as the mechanics, seldom pause
to reflect upon the magnitude of their
weekly tasks. As soon as one play Is
presented. preparations are under way
for the one that follows"

CROWDS SEARCHED
ATCH|LD'S FUNERAL
FOR ITS MURDERER
Madison, Wis.,, Police Baf-
fled by Finding Annie
Lemberger in Lake.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 11.-From a
house surrounded by a great crowd ot
neighoors and curious visitors and
Through the streets lined with people,
the body OF Annie Lemberger, seven
years old, found in the lake SATURDAY
atter she had disappeared from home
Tor Tour days, was carried to the grave
today.
Through the crowd circulated private
detectives, plain clothes men from the
local police, amateur detectives, seeking
the reward of 81, 900 offered by the city
Tor the apprehension Of the persons
who had killed the child before she was
thrown into the AXE.
No Trace Thus Far.
So far no trace has been found of
the guilty persons, although several
people are under surveillance. Should
arrests be made, IT is feared there may
be an attempt at lynching
That the crime was the work of
degenerate is the belief of Sheriff
Brown. Though an examination Of the
body Of the child showed no further
evidence of mistreatment than bruises
about the head. the sheriff believes the
kidnapping and murder could have been
carried ont only by some one of ab-
normal tendencies. The fact that the
body had been stripped, though the
child wore a linen undergarment and a
nightgown when she went to bed, is
evidence, Brown believes, that his the
ory is correct.
Clothing As Memento.
IF a degenerate was the criminal"
said the sheriff, "he would be likely to
carry away the clothing as a memento.
Cases are frequent where such fiends
take bits of clothing or locks of hair.
The crime would have been differently
carried out had an enemy of the Lem
berger family planned 1t. The child's
clothing would not have been torn
from her."
In spite of Browns belief, however,
the police are still working on the
theory that the child was killed by
some one who had a grudge against |
the Lemberger family. Martin Lem |
berger. her father. has been closely |
questioned |
Lemberger's story had in some points |
been slightly mixed. and the authori- |
ties, after the funeral today, planned to |
question him further. His conflicting |
statements, the officers say, were ap-
parently the result of his confusion |
through grief and the shock of his
were immaterial, it is said.

interest Of the anti-Taft movement. A
big gathering was held In Minneapolis
Saturday, at which the La Toilette
movement in that section was launched
with a banquet. Prominent men from
several Northwestern States spoke. AZ
the same time the Farmers League OF
Minnesota was organized In St. Paul,
and adopted anti-Taft resolutions. Taft
was repeatedly attacked by the speak
ers, and speakers indulging such str1c-
lures were uniformly cheered.
Leaders of the anti-Taft movement
recognize that the three months be-
represent about all the time and op-
portunity they will have to organize

have committed themselves to this pro-
gram are losing no time pushing the

Bristow Opposed Harmony.
When he got home after the adjourn

that the leaders Of the two factions had
been framing a harmony program, to
avoid a fight over the State delegation.
He promptly came out with a declara-
tion against harmony. A fight. he said.
was the only thing that would bring
peace; and he was for the fight. AS a
result, the State Is astir from end to

rallying to Bristow.
Senator Cun1mins' declaration for La
Toilette has brought matters close to

mand that Cummins himself become a
candidate for the Presidential nomina-

have the Iowa delegation for the ask

the fight in order to insure the Iowa

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Summer Orchard Cultivation.

Cultivation of the orchard should
generally be stopped by the end Of
July. Especially is this the case with
old orchards that are being cultivated
for the first time An orchard, how
ever, that has been cultivated constant
ly will receive little injury by cultiva-
ton at any time of the year.
1t will then stop growing In midsum-
mer and will spend the rest Of its
5me and energy in hardening its wood.
But the orchard that has not been cul-
tivated or even one that has been cul-
tivated in the spring of the year will
be injured by cultivation In the late
summer or fall. If. however, the trees
are heavily laden with fruit cultiva-
ton may continue little later than il
the trees were almost quite bare.
The extra amount of available plant
food win then aid in producing the
fruit, and the late development Of buds
and wood will not occur. In fact dur
ing dry season the late cultivation
will prevent the fruit laden trees from
becoming weakened from lack of mois-
| ture.

THE FOAL'S FEET
need ATTENTION,
An important Matter That Is
Often Neglected.

Many foals during the first months
of their lives grow bad feet and stand
badly, partly from nature and partly
from lack OF proper exercise on hard
ground Frequently the foal is COM
PEELED to remain in the stalls during
the early sucking period, and this will
almost always bring on abnormally
developed feet. Lack OF exercise on
hard ground will allow the feet to
grow faster than they wear off, hence
the enlargement. Also, whether the
foal has exercise or not during the
very young stage, often the feet will
be more or less Irregular.
The foal's feet should be examined
and trimmed frequently during the
first six or eight months OF its life,
and they should receive regular at-
tention TIL the foal becomes full
grown work horse. After the first
few trials the young foal will allow
its feet to be examined and trimmed
without trouble In fact, 1t will soon
seem to enjoy the work. In trimming
the foars feet trim them 80 that they
will be reasonably short and level.
Since the boots are comparatively soft
during its young age the work of trim
ming can best and easiest be done with
a strong, sharp pocketknife.
Where the hoofs of foal are not
! trimmed and 1t is inclined to stand or
walk abnormally there win be moro
wearing on one part than another of
| the hoof to accentuate the abnormal
ity. BY frequent trimming during the
early months of its life and keeping
the feet perfectly level the feet and
legs will gradually grow to normal
position and shape, and the foal will
walk with more ease and appear bet
ter generally. Allow the foal the free
dom of good pasture as much as
possible to allow the feet to wear and
harden.
