SINCE MONDAY LAST
Child Eleven Years Old Disap-
pears After Leaving Home
to Visit Friends.

Irene Calliy, eleven years old, is MISS
ing She has not been heard Of since she
left her home at 924 Sth street Monday
morning at o'clock to visit Mr.. and
Mrs. James Reuter- OF sol B street north
east, who used to room in the house
where Irene resided
Beyond the statements of a few play
mates that they had seen Irene leave her
yard at that time. no trace has been
found Of her. She did not arrive at the
Reuter- home, nor did any OF her ac-
quaintances see her en- route there. One
fruit stand near her home. tells OF seeing
a small girl who resembled Irene in a
buggy with man yesterday evening.
The child was dressed the way Irene
was when she left home. she said. She
could not tell for certain that 1t was
Irene. however, as the girls face was
averted when she passed her.
Irene's older sister. Kathleen. does not
believe il was her sister who was seen
for she thinks the child would have cried
out 10 the fruitstand keeper.
Police Notified.
What can have become of the little
girl her friends cannot imagine. The po-
lice have been notified Of the child's dis
appearance and are now seeking to find
her.
Irene's mother is in Maine and her
father is dead. The mother has not yet
been notified as the older sister did not
want to worry her If it was possible to
avoid it, Mrs. Callily has been away
since May. and is not expected home
until October.
When she left home Irene wore a dress
bearing blue and brown figures. with
brown cuffs and collar. She wore half
white socks and low black shoes. Her
hair, which fell on either side of her
face in ''bobbed" style, was tied with a
bow of white ribbon.
Girl Small and Pretty.
Irene is described as being small for
her age and rather pretty. She was
promoted from the fourth grade at school
last year. When she left home she had
about 80 cents with her. but 1t is not
known whether she intended to ride or
walk to see her friends, the Reuters. She
had never been to see them before, ana
II is believed she was unfamiliar with
the northeast section of the city, thougn
she was thoroughly acquainted with the
northwest section.

TROOPS SEEK REVENGE;
SHOOT Up SMALL TOWN
Fire From Fifty to Hundred
Bullets in Dobbinsville,
Delaware.

WILMINGTON, Del, August ga
half dozen or more privates of the S1st
Company, Coast Artillery Corps, sta
toned at Fort Dupont, Del. shot up
Dobbinsville, a suburb of New Castle,
Del, yesterday. They were armed with
regulation guns and ball cartridges.
The chief point of attack was the
dwelling of Mr. and Mrs. William Maher
and their four children. ranging in age
from twelve to eighteen years. Nearly
every window was shot out and bricks
were shot from their fastenings under
window lodges.
The family, all thoroughly frightened.
sought safety beneath beds. Mr.. Maher
appeared at a window and implored the
soldiers to stop shooting. Their reply
was a bullet that grazed his head. Other
citizens likewise shouted from their
windows. but they, too. withdrew for
safety. Residents of the town estimate
that from so to 100 shots were fired.
Cause Of Trouble.
The cause Of the trouble was a fight
last night at Dobbinsyille, in which
the soldiers were routed. The artillery
men had been drinking. They returned
to the state rifle range. few miles
distant, where the 81st and 55th Com
panies were installed for rifle practice.
and seemingly retired. Several hours
later they arose. took quantity OF
ball cartridges and started for DoD-
binsville to get revenge.

protecting crabs"
Popular as Food.

The crab, although always looked
upon as a water scavenger. has devel-
oped into one of the most important Of
our sea foods. This Industry has made
the most remarkable development in
Maryland. Winthrop A. Roberts, in his
report to the United States bureau of
fisheries on the Maryland crab indus
try. in 1901. states: 1T was in 1888 that
the first shipments of crabs were made
from Crisfield." These were consigned
to the firm of John Martin. in Philadel-
phia. and were shipped on commission.
Within the last decade the industry
has developed rapidly in Kent, Queen
Anne Arundel counties. While Somer-
set and Dorchester are more largely en-
gagged in taking the soft shell and she'd
der crabs with scrapes (similar to the
oyster dredges), the other counties. by
using the trot line and gasoline boats.
have developed the taking of the hard
crabs, establishing picking houses and
employing hundreds of people. The now
much-in-demand crab flakes are sold
extensively throughout the United States
It Is not uncommon to see ten carloads
Of crabs being shipped from Crisfield IN
single day.
Biggest Shipping Point.
Crisfield as a shipping point the most
extensive in the world for crabs)
shipped in 1910, estimated. 100000

1t is believed by most watermen that
the crab. like the diamondback terrapin,
which was once so numerous In this
state that the slaves objected to being
fed on them more often than once q
week, is not beyond determination.
A study of the crab. its habits and
the increasing demand, will convince
that it. too. can be destroyed.

but inhabits the inland waters. Chesa-

LETHBRIDGE, Alberta, Feb. "a
The most valuable prize ever offered

the best sheaf of hard wheat is an
nounced by the exposition committee
of the International Exposition Of Dry
farmed products, machinery, farm
sanitation and labor-saving devices,
which is to be held at Lethbridge,
Alberta, Oct. 21-26, in conjunction
with the Seventh International Dry
Farming Congress and Second Interna-
tional Congress of Farm Women. 1t
is Stewart Sheaf Loader, valued at
5000, and the doners, the Stewart
Sheaf Loader company, of Winnipeg,

the United States, Canada or else.

"This is the second sweepstake
prize we have announced says j. w.
McNicol, chairman of the exposition
committee, "and we have only begun
to close arrangements for what are
certain to be the most valuable prizes
ever offered for dry farmed products
In open competition. This prize offer,
following closely upon the $2.5OO
Rnmely oil-pull tractor for the best
bushel of hard wheat, shows the class
OF premiums we shall distribute. and
We are going to have the keenest CON-
petition on record.
1.-The sheaf loader is one Of the
greatest time and labor saving devices
used in harvesting operations, and q
prize that will be appreciated by any
thresherman or farmer. 1t sells for
5000 f. Q. b.. Winnipeg, and the manu-
facuturers offer to deliver it free
OF charge to the winner means that it
is OF far greater value, for, should the
winner live at a distance or in the
United States, there are freight and
customs charges to be taken into
consideration.
1t is machine that will pick the
sheaves from the stock or from the
ground, when lying flat, and by means
OF carriers elevate the grain into the
wagon. 1t is guaranteed to do all that
is claimed for it, and with proper
handling it will load the wagons
quickly enough to keep any thresning
machine supplied with plenty OF
sheayes. The loader does the work of
all the pitchers in the field and be-
cause 1t loads so quickly fewer bundle
wagons are required and great saw
ing IS made in the cost of labor.
The sheat loader is used by
large number of the leading farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
and scores of them have testified to
It's meaning "a saving of $40 to $25 a
day IN the cost of their harvesting
operations, the machine often paying
for 1T self in this saving in one season
alone.
We are deeply grateful to J. L.
Doupe, one of the directors of the
Stewart Sheaf Loader company, for
this donation. He has been much in
terested in the work OF the Interna-
tional Dry Farming congress, and he
has in this substantial way shown his
desire to interest the farmers of west
ern Canada, as well as the world at
large, in this movement to better their
condition and to save the farm waste
through utilizing labor-saving de-
vices. The exposition committee has
made arrangements for a demmonstra-
tion of this sheaf loader at the expo
sition grounds throughout the meeting,
and it is sure to prove highly interest
ing to all grain growers.

NEW DIAMOND FIELD
DISCOVERED IN AFRICA

In the last five years there has been
considerable prospecting for diamonds
in the Congo Free State, that part of
Africa which has been extensively ex-
plotted by European capitalists with
profitable results in General. AS re-
suit many small stones have been
found, and company has been formed
to carry ON work extensively along the
Lualabba river and on the Kunderlun-
GU plateau, over an area of more than
10000 square miles.
The largest stone yet found weighed
only OPS carat, but there is evidence
that the diamonds are abundant in
quantities that will pay for mining.
Naturally the question that arises is
whether such a discovery will make
diamonds more abundant and less ex-
pensive in the world 8 markets. Only
time can answer this question, but
there is reason for believing that the
diamond, like gold, is widely distribut-
ed over the earth s surface strata and
that no "diamond trust' can be per-

FRONHOFFR EXAM
|NAT|ON STILL ON

The preliminary examination of
George Fronhofer, on the charge of
having murdered Peter Laux, was
commenced before Judge Dunn yester-
day morning. The State is represent
ed by District Attorney Callahan and
T. A. Brandon, and defendant by
Judge 3. f.. Curler and Judge Gilray.
The first witness called by the State
was b. II. Labigan, the man who was
with Laux when he was shot and who
swore to the complaint charging From
hofer with murder. Witness testified
that while he and Laux were engaged
in eating their lunch, at about noon on
January 90, two shots were fired from
cliff of rocks about $50 feet distant
from where they were standing Laux
fell forward on his face and witness
grabbed a shotgun and jumped behind
rock for cover. As he did so, witness
caught sight of the upper portion of
a mans body standing at the point
from which the shots were fired. He
identified a black hat offered in evi-
dence as similar to the one the man
was wearing Leaving Laux where he
lay, witness testified that he went to
Guthrie 8 ranch, where he reported
the shooting.
Labigan concluded his direct exami-
nation at noon yesterday, when he was
taken in hand by Judge Curler and
subjected to a searching cross exami-
nation, which was not concluded until
this forenoon.
At the conclusion of the cross exam
ination of Labigan, Elmer b. Salinas
was placed on the stand. Witness tes-
tilted that he was one of the party
from Guthrie S ranch to 60 to the aid
of Laux, and that he was the first man
to reach him. lie found Laux lying on
his side, with his head bent forward.
A loaded revolver was found tucked
into the right breast of the jumper he
was wearing. At this point all wit
nesses were excluded from the room.
This afternoon George Willett and
John Guthrie was called for the
State The testimony of both wit
nesses was substantially the same, be-
ing to the effect that Labigan came to
the Guthrie ranch at about 6 O'Clock
on the afternoon of the shooting and
reported the occurrence; that Labigan
was carrying shotgun and "A sack of
cartridges. which he turned over to
Guthrie, and the latter gave them to
Deputy Sheriff Muller, at Kennedy,
the second day after the shooting. Wit
ness Guthrie testified that, in answer
to a question as to who shot Laux,
Labigan replied that it was JAKE
Leick; that he recognized the hat worn
by the man he saw behind the point
of rocks as one that Leick had been
wearing.
Deputy Sheriff Muller was then call
el and was on the stand at the time
the Silver State goes to press.
District Attorney Callahan announc-
ed that he would have but two more
witnesses for the State, DIR. Mangan
and w. l.. Wilkinson, superintendent
of the hospital.
1t is not probable that the State will
have finished before Monday forenoon.
AS there are several Kennedy wit
nesses here who have not been called
w the State, it is the logical conclus-
ion that they may have been summon
cd by defendant, but whether or not
the defense will offer any testimony re-
mains to be seen.

5TENOGRAPHERS DECLARED
NOT TO BE MECHANICS
Especial to the Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb 24.-Sten-
ographers, typists and other Office
women in Spokane are fguratively up
in arms over the decision by Judge
Chapman in the Pierce county Superb
or Court, who ruled in a test case of
the eight hour law that woman who
operates a typewriter is not a me-
chanic, even though employed in a
mechanical establishment Not that
they desire to be classed as mechanics,
but to guard against longer hours they
may organize union.
There is also talk of forming an
eight-h hour Office workers federation
throughout Washington, with branch
offices in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma
and cities in central Washington, to
lobby at the next session of the legiss
lature for an amendment to the fol
lowing section of the state law, which
formed the basis of Judge Chapman IS
opinion:
"No female shall be employed in
any mechanical or mercantile estab-
lishment, laundry, hotel or restaurant
in this state more than eight hours a
day.
Judge Chapman held that an office
separate from the place in which man
ufacturing or other mechanical opera
tions are carried on is not itself a
manufacturing establishment, hence
Louis III. Bean, the defendant, did not
violate the law by working a stenog
rapher more than eight hours a day.
The court ruled that the test of the
law was not so much the nature of the
service, as the question whether or not
it was rendered in mechanical estab-
lishment.
Managers of the large Offices in
Spokane declare there is no plan on
foot to increase the working hours of
Office help, saying also that stenog-
raphers employed in local manufactur-
ing, mercantile and office buildings
have never worked more than eight
hours day. even before the state law
was enacted a year ago
