COMPLETING WORK ON WORLD MAP

lilty-two having been already com
pleted. The scale OF the map, | to
LOCO, 900, gives it its name, the inter
national one.milionth map. Every
country will be drawn on the same
scale so that the relative size and
characteristics Of each may be shown
with accuracy.
Hitherto maps OF the world have
been drawn in different scales and it
was almost ossible for cartogra-
piers to tell with any degree of az
curacy the relative size of the var
ious countries of ,he world When
the new map is completed, it will
be possible TO ascertain with abso-
lutte correctness the size and possess
ions of every nation on earth. Scien-
lists have declared that the making
OF this map is the greatest step for
ward ever taken in the science OF
cartography
nations have beel allotted a certain
section of the earth'S surface to map
under an agreement reached at the
last convention OF the international
Geographical CC-gress, held at Bernc,
Switzerland. The map will consist
of about 1900 sheets each about 20
by 80 inches, representing territory
of 240 by 360 miles, four degrees of
latitude, and six of longitude, Oceans
will not be mapped only in the imme-
diate vicinity of islands. The com
pleted map will be $50 feet long by
- feet wide The countries engaged
in the work are the United States,
England, France, Germany, Spain, It.

The dream of geoGraphers of a uni

eighteen years The necessity for
such a map has ever been felt, but it

Tuesday. Muehfeldt will be brought to
trial to-day.
Frank Moss and John NJ. Minton, jr.,

case in almost record time. one day was
consumed in choosing a jury. All Of the
witnesses were heard on the second day,
and yesterday, the third day, both sides

stand. It is likely that he will testify for
Muehlfeldt.
Lingley has two other convictions against

for which he has not yet been sentenced.
II is possible that Judge Swami. before
whom he was convicted Of robbery a few
weeks ago. will impose sentence before

JEWS START MEAT BOYCOTT
Movement On to Force Lower
Prices from Kosher Butchers.

A large number OF Jewish families on
the outskirts of the Stuyvesant section
of Brooklyn have banded together TO
force the kosher butchers to reduce the
price of meat, or close their shops. The
boycott began In Myrtle avenue at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning and spread to Gates
avenue.
Small bands Of boycotters went about the
streets OF the section urging every one
they met 10 give up meat for the present.
They visited the butchers and told them
to stop selling meat or they would have
trouble. Some. like J. Hoffman. OF No 5gl
Gates avenue. said they would stop selling
meat as soon as they got rid OF their
stocks. Others were not 80 conciliatory
and received rough treatment The butcher
who Jared the worse was J. Diamond. OF
No. 924 DeKalb avenue. His son, Benjamin
Diamond, was in the store when the boy
cotters entered.
stop selling and throw your meat
away" they demanded.
I'm stop when I get rid OF my stock on
hand" replied Diamond.
The women went out and a moment later
a heavy steel bucket smashed through the
show window. Then Diamond closed his
shop.
The force OF boycotters is expected to be
swelled ID large proportions to-day. and IL
is believed that their operations will have
spread OYER Brownsville. The butchers say
that they pay 10 cents pound for meat
and cannot afford TO sell II for less than
is cents a pound.

that workingmen simply hurt their own

Though the strikers in Newark are sup
posed TO be under the control of the In

"Our Bill" Haywood, as Emma Goldman
calls him, there was nothing in the testi-
mony presented to Recorder Winner 10

was anything more than a riotous mob If
men Judge WINNER said Yesterday that
he doubted whether they had any relation
TO the Haywood organization. but he made
it plain also that any such rioters, whether
led by Haywood or unled. would receive
the same kind Of treatment in Kearny
from now on.
The twenty-one men who were sentenced
10 a year in Jail by Judge WINNER on
Wednesday night were taken to the Hud-
son County Penitentiary early yesterday
morning. To guard against any possible
further trouble, they were loaded into a
moving van within few hours of the
time they had been sentenced, and the vaI
was drawn by an unfrequented road to the
penitcntiary. The Kearny patrol wagon.

hind the van, and no trouble was encoun-
tered in moving the men.

appears with Mr.. Dalzell.
lFrom The Trlhun. bureau.


Washington, June 6.-Representative
Dalzell gave his Republican colleagues
on the Ways and Means Committee an
uneasy hour to-day when he disappeared
with the minority report on the cotton
tariff bill. When the House adjourned
the minority members were still seeking
Mr. Dalzell and the papers" and ii was
only because the House was in An in
Gugeut frame Of mind that it will be
possible for the Republican members Of
the committee to file their dissenting
views.
Mr.. Dalzcll has the report. and he has
disappeared. We can't find him" said
Mr. Payne. ranking Republican member
of the committee, in presenting plea TO
the House to give the minority one more
day to present its views Under the
House rules the report should have been
filed to-day. Mr.. Payne asked unani-
nous consent for "one more chance"
Several Democrats stirred about as if
they had a mind To object but everybody
smiled finally. and Mr.. Dalzell doubtless
will be on hand tomorrow. If unani-
nous consent to file the report day
late had been denied the cotton bill
would have gone to the country without
the critical views OF the minority OF the
Ways and Means Committee, who are
bitterly opposed to the Underwood bill.
Mr.. Dalzell disappeared from the

afternoon. and he took the report with
him. Representatives Payne and Long
