two "ehildren of the strike, aged
seven and nine years, were led
forward to be identified by Sulli-
van.
The children were trembling
with fear. Sullivan glowered
at them, and identified them as
two of those 1--WE had to arrest"
Rev. Clark Carter, a city mis-
sionary, was then called by the
prosecution. The Rev. Carter
evidently was anxious to aid the
prosecution. Under oath, he
swore that Mrs. Brown, the
mother of the two children, was
a public charge
Attorney George E. Roewer,
representing the strikers, took a
hand at this stage, and desired to
know just how often the Rev.
Carter could remember Mrs.
Brown receiving aid from char
ity.
The Rev. Carriers memory i'm
mediately became defective, like
a beef or a steel baron's on the
stand. Under severe exam
nation, he could remember only
one time during the last seven
years when Mrs. Brown had ap-
Piled for aid from charity.
This was something of a death
blow to the Rev. Carriers pre-
vious testimony. ...
Mrs. Brown herself was then
called to the stand. She gave
Carter the lie direct. She said she

they would have starved II l had
to keep them here during the
strike she added.
Simon Knebel, a member of the
strike committee, then was called
to the stand. He denied City At
torney Murphy's charge that the
children were to be exploited
for the financial gain of the strik- Z
ers."
Naturally they woul be in the
public eye," he added. mo one
could expect anything else after
they had been driven from home,
by the inhuman tactics of the
mill owners.
The attitude of the state police
on duty here today was much
from yesterday.
Perhaps the visit of United
States Senator Poindexter, and
his published statement, and the
rumors, of federal investiga-
ton had something to do with
this.
Instead of AZ arrests, as yes
terday, there were only six today.
And the police did not use their
clubs once.
Five of those arrested were
grli pickets, who had been
stationed in the mill district to
beg textile workers to join the
strike. They were charged with
disorderly conduct, and are held
in Jail.
The sixth arrest was Charigan
Akochuk, a striker. The police
say Akochuk threw pepper in the
faces of mill operatives going to

PENNIES ARE PURE COPPER.

A penny is made from almost chem
lcally PURE copper, which is obtained
by the new electric method Former
~ the refining of copper was an ex-
pensive process but with the utilization
OF electricity the expense has been ma
terially decreased. The copper is plac-
ed at one end of q tank which is filled
with water. This is called the anode,
or positive pole. The action of a pow
erful electric current releases the cop
per. carries Il through the water an
deposits IL on the negative or cathode
pole. The result is what is known as
Electricity" or cathode" copper IL
is what pennies are made of. While
the "electrolytic' is the purest known
copper, the lake" copper brings a
slightly higher price I'm the market.
This is because there is small
amount of silver i'm all the copper from
the Lake Superior regions. IL Is so
small that 1t cannot be separated at a
profit. silver. however. is better con-
ductor Of electricity than copper. and
therefore. for commercial purposes, the
.lake" copper is in such demand that
