ONIONS
Continued from Page one.)

1t was then that Starrett made the
remark regarding the future of the
onion a's domestic product.
II am well pleased with the result
of this experiment" he said. ut was
only an experiment. We started over
there last October and divided up
these seeds among the planters. Some
of them were planted in the cocoanut
region but we took care to make a
thorough distribution although there
were not more than four or five acres
Tcder cultivation altogether
"On the Coast and throughout the
States where they grow they can not
be harvested until at least six months
after planting, while our crop only
takes four months to mature. Their
onions do not come up to these in
quality or size. In fact these are the
best onions that have ever Eeen."
"The, whole island is enthused over
the prospect There will be enough
right now for a few trial shipments
but next year we will be able to ship
five hundred carloads to the Coast be-
fore their supply is ready for harvest
ing.
"The whole thing is that We can
grow bigger, better and finer onion
in four months than hey can in six.
"The island is onion-wild and there
will soon be 1000 acres of Bermuda
onions under cultivation. Everyone is
enthusiastic ever it and it will not
be long before the onion will be put
ting itself up into the front rank with
our exports"
Tuesdays Garden Island has the
following item in point here:
Representative ]. H. Coney is
marketing his first onion crop, which
proved to be most satisfactory. So
enthusiastic is he over the results
that five-acre lot is being prepared
for seeding. Mr., Coney stated in an
interview with a reporter that in his
first experience he discovered the soil
to be too rich, and that in planting
his five-acre lot he had arranged to
overcome this and expects a much
larger yield and better grade.

This was the only answer that
John Mitchell; former head of the
United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, would make today when ask
ed regarding a report that he had
been summoned by President
Taft for a consultation in Wash
ington, regarding the impending
general strike in the coal regions.
While Mitchell refused to say
whether he had received anydi-
rect or indirect communication
from the.president, who is said to
b. alarmed at the prospect OF
gigantic coal strike, the fact that
he is leaving for the capital lends
color to the report.
Mitchell declared that he was
not in touch with conditions in
the coal fields, but believed the
miners were entitled to wage
increase.
At several points in the coal
fields conferences are being held
or are about to be held between
operators and miners. At ,Cleve-
land, representatives of the oper-
ators in the bitun1inous fields are
expected to demand a fiat de-
crease of 10 cents ton from the
present figure now being paid for

before the cars dying cries had
ceased to pulsate through the air,
he would be away, scurrying
silently through the trees to the
encompasing wall, outside of
which swift horse awaited ITO
bear him to the waiting boat
upon the Finland shore.
All this flashed through his
mind as he crouched there. Pres
emily new sound broke upon
his ears. 1t was the marching of
armed men, moving from another
direction; it was the guard. And
suddenly he heard, very clear and
life-like, the boot of an owl, from
a tree behind the, summer house.
He leaped to his feet, Sinking
without a sound through the tall
underground, until the summer
house was visible, not 20 yards
away, and, within it, the red glow
of the cigar. Now was the time
to strike. His hands trembled so
that he could scarcely hold the
weapon; but, casting aside all
precautions-since the time was
desperately short-he leaped
upon the path, found the entrance
to which the monarch sat, and
sprang within, his arm appraised.
And instantly a lantern flashed,
shot rang out, and the man sank
dying upon the floor.
In his death agonies he saw the
cars startled leap backward; he
looked up into the faces of his
guard. He had been betrayed by
his confederate!
