After making all arrangements FOL
reopening their technical school classes
the union electrical workers of Mime
apolis have accepted proposition
from the Minneapolis board of educa'
ton and the union members will join
the winter classes. Professor j. N.
Greer, representing the board of edu-
cation, went before the Electrical
Workers union and presented plan
which embodied the abandonment of
the school contemplated by the union
and merging its interests in the night
school classes. 1t is said that a thor,
ough training in modern practical cleo
tricity will be afforded, covering a
period of four years. The best of
equipment is said to be available and
the school will be assisted by a num-
Der of electrical equipment houses
which carry full lines of up to date
apparatus. 1t is said much Of the
equipment will be manufactured as
the classes advance, while the adj
vanced classes will be building cleo
trcal machinery from the very begin
ming. Another thing particularly
agreeable to the union electricians Is
that some of the teachers are to be
taken from their own ranks.

one other in the country will surpass
1t in point Of actual Investment, that
at Los Angeles, although there is now

which there may be many during the

Quoted without barroom adjuncts, and
the labor temple association is of the
opinion that such can be profitably
maintained in Quincy. Besides dances,
the room will be for rent for political

all forms of entertainment that can be
given from a platform. There is am

AS to the misleading statement that

more than double to six and seven
times the wages paid in Europe and
is in that proportion better able tc
meet any increase in the cost of living,
the average wage statistics here show
that the average wages of adult males
are in the neighborhood Of 5000 per an

statistics shows that half of the adult

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The big, powerful unions of to-
day are not the result of acct
dent, the mere turn of fortune.
, Rather are they the result of
patient, painstaking, intelligent
) management. There is always
some good reason why one union
is able to weather the storms en-
countered on the journey while
, others collapse and die. The
band of union men who are will
ing to make material sacrifices
constantly in the interest of the
union will have q strong union.
And by sacrifices is not meant
striking indiscriminately or max
, Ing lot of noise, but rather the
willingness to bear up under
, heavy assessments In order that
strikes, when necessary, may be
) properly supported and prosecut-
ed to q successful conclusion.
, The union which is always COM
PEELED to ask for financial as
sistance when trouble comes, in
the very nature Of things, can
) not be as strong and successful
as the union which finds it pos
} sible to finance its own fights.
There is food for thought In this
argument. Noise Is cheap, but
it doesn't produce the results

+ INVESTIGATORS PLACE :
WRECK BLAME
The board of inquiry that in
vestigated the Kinmundy wreck
on the Illinois Central, in which
]. T. Harahan and three other
railroad officials lost their lives
today, placed the blame for the
accident upon three members of
the train crews, Conductor John
H. Brainerd and Flagman Henry
Broecker of train No.25, and En-
gineer Robert Stuart on train No.
3. All were found guilty of neg
ligence in the performance of
duty.
The members of the board
agreed upon their findings last
night at Cenhalia, after they had
taken the testimony at Cham
paign and visited the scene of the
wreck to determine just how the
collision occurred. The findings
were signed by every member of
the board.
The decision holds Conductor
Brainerd and Flagman Broecker
of train Is responsible because
they failed to use the means they
had in their power to protect
their train" Engineer Stuart is
blamed for negligence in failing
to take due precautions when he
knew that another train was run
ming but a few minutes ahead of
him.

CITY GARDEN IDEA is GOOD
Baltimore, Seeing Success Mlnneapo-
lis Made, viii Follow In Sister
Clty's Footsteps.

It was recently mentioned as being
part Of the plans which the Womens
Civic League Of Baltimore has IN con-
temptation that vacant lot farming is
to be encouraged, In almost every
city where this scheme Of helpfulness
has been utilized the urban waste
places have been tried the results have
been satisfactory far beyond the ini-
tial hopes OF those who have been In
strumental In putting the scheme into
operation Minneapolis last year In
troduced the vacant lot garden scheme
with dazzling success. II not only
supplied many needy families with a
food supply, but It compelled a low
ering of the enormously high prices
demanded for vegetables by the re-
tailers.
Minneapolis has Just about half the
population Of Baltimore, and occupies
nearly double the ground space, 1t Is
quite apparent, therefore, that there
are more vacant lots scattered about
in Minneapolis than in Baltimore, But,
all the same, there is considerable
amount of idle land in building-lot
sizes, distributed over Baltimore. In
the suburban sections particularly
there are many lots upon which build
ing improvements are not in immedi-
ate contemplation, In Minneapolis
Gnd other cities many such Idle lots
have willingly been loaned to the city
garden organizations.
These lots are given out in limited
assignments to families that will un-
dertake to farm them. BY judIclous
management a considerable food sup
ply can be grown on q small piece Of
land. For Instance, on strip Of land
ten feet wide and twenty.one feet long
twenty-one tomato plants may be prop
erly planted A single tomato plant
sometimes yields, during a season, n
bushel Of tomatoes, and so n bit OF
land ten by twenty feet may yield over
twenty bushels Of this fruit. There
are other vegetables that give returns
In like proportions, The city garden
scheme is one which helps people to
help themselves.

But Just moment" interposed
Mr.. Howard quickly.
Good day" said Mr. Grimm.
The door opened and closed; he
was gone. Three minutes later he
stepped into a telephone booth at a
nearby corner and took down the re-
ceiver.
Hello, central!" he called, and
then: This is Mr.. Grimm of the Sc
cret Service, What number was Mr..
Howard talking to-"
Eleven double-nought six, Alexan-
dria," was the reply,
Where is the connection? In whose
name?"
"The connection is five miles out
from Alexandria in a farmhouse on
the old Baltimore Road" came the
crisp, business-like answer. "The name
Murdoch Williams"
Thank you," said Mr.. Grimm,
"Good-by."
A moment later he was standing by
the curb waiting for car, when How
ard, still angry, and with an express
sion Of deep chagrin on his face, came
bustling up.
III you can give me until tomorrow
afternoon, then" he began.
Mr.. Grimm glanced around at him,
and with slight motion Of his head
summoned two men who had been
chatting nearby. One Of them was
Blair, and the other Hastings.
Take this man in charge" he d.
rooted. Hold him In solitary con-
finement until you hear from me.
Don't talk to him, don't let any one
else talk to him, and don't let him
talk, II any person speaks to him be-
fore he Is locked up, take that person
in charge also. He Is guilty of no
crime, but single word from him
now will endanger my life"
That was all. 1t was said and done
so quickly that Howard, dazed, con
fused and utterly unable to account
