DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY
Mrs Fred 6ugbee and Mrs. Myron
Chandler Entertain.

Mrs. Fred Bugbee charmingly en-
tertained her friends at luncheon on
Friday afternoon. The rooms were
tastfully decorated for the occasion,
with autumn foliage, ferns and car
nations, the decorator carrying out
the color scheme of pink and green.
Both the hostess and Mrs. Myron
Chandler were passing another mile
stone on life's highway and the event
was celebrated by skillfully render
ed program, consisting of readings
bearing on the occasion as well as
vocal and piano solos.
After a very enjoyable afternoon
the guests departed leaving Mrs. Bug
bee and Mrs. Chandler many beauti-
full reminders of their birthday an
niversary. One rare coincidence,
which is worthy of not, is that on
counting Mrs. Chambers birthday
post cards received that day it was
found that she had received "A cards,
while she was observing her 74th
birthday anniversary.

Counter Demonstration Against
Strikers at Lawrence
STARS AM STRIPES GAL ORE
w. Q. Haywood Advocates Transport
ing the Mill Operatives to
Other Cities.

Lawrence, Mass, Oct. 4.-The red
flag of the Industrial Workers of the
World was dimmed today by the APP
pearance of thousands of men, wo-
men and children wearing the Ameri-
can flag in their coat lapels, following
last nights mass meeting in City Hall
at which the methods of the new la
Dor organization were excoriated.
Today the supply of miniature flags
became exhausted and Mayor Scanlon
sent the city purchasing agent to
Boston in a vain effort TO secure 90
600 of these patriotic emblems. Fin
ally the flags were ordered from New
York
The situation here is tense. In
fluential people are talking of the
use of force to get w. d. Haywood
and other !. w. w. leaders out of the
city and this sentiment is strong.
Haywood says that there is some
thought of moving all the |. W. w.
workers of the city anyway. To this
Mayor Scanlon retorted:
Tell Haywood and his followers to
get out just as soon as the Lord will
let them, and tell them also that |
will furnish them with special
train"
The G. A r.. and the city firemen
went to the City Hall and strung
massive American flag on line
reaching from City Hall to the court
house opposite American flags even
appear on dump carts.
When the reporters visited the 1.
w. W. Office Haywood said:
There is chance of the |. w. w.
striking a stunning blow at this city
and It's authorities. Suppose we
move those working people out of
Lawrence ourselves. What them"
ut has cost the mill owners a
pretty sum to bring these workers
here. IF these workers make up
their minds" he continued, Ito avoid
all possibility of collisions with police
and militia and judges, if they pack
up their household goods and go
away, the mills will not be able to
start up again, for four or five years
The mill owners will not find it pos
sible now to import labor here as
easily as they have done before"
Upward of 10000 operatives went
to the mills without being interfered
with again today. 1t was estimated
that approximately 1900 persons
were still idle because of the strike
of last Monday

RABBITS A NUISANCE
Deputy Warden Bentley Does Not
Believe in Protecting Them.

To the Editor of the Banner
1t was with considerable interest
that read the statement of former
County Warden Harry Chase in be-
half of the grey rabbits. | was not
surprised by the bill drawn by Post
master Graves. knowing him from
boyhood Now as to ferrets. How
are gray rabbits to be caught without
the use of the small vermin' referred
to by Mr.. Chase and their deadly
fangs? Just ask the farmer about
the deadly fangs of the rabbit with
which they destroy whole nursery
yards
Just go through a farmers corn
field and see the pumpkins and tur-
nips you will see the work of the
grey rabbits deadly fangs there. Ask
the farmer to show you the marks of
the deadly fangs of the grey rabbit
on his currant bushes. If one has
CHANGED to survive look at his beet
bed and cabbage patch. Ask to see
his young pear, cherry and apple
trees. Look at the work of the grey
rabbits there. Then ask if ne wants
the small verrnin exterminated or the
rabbit.
Now, how many boys are there that
would keep a ferrit if there was no
law against it. When there was no
law this town had one and Arlington
one of the small vermin.
Now as any one knows that knows
the nature of the grey rabbit they in
crease very fast, raising about rye
litter OF young in each season and
from four TO eight to a litter. Now
how many boys are there that would
kill what one female rabbit would
raise, as they are not allowed TO
ship them at all.
Now ! think Mr. Chase is dead
wrong in the assertion made in re-
gard to penalties for keeping ferrits
in other states. The writer has
travelled over most of the states east
of the Mississippi river and found
more states with a bounty on grey
rabbits than protective tariff and
some of the states mentioned have no
game laws at all.
Being a warden and a firm beliel er
in protective law on our game and
birds. | would first protect our
selves and the farmer and farm crops
and fruit trees and | believe the grey
rabbit more of a nuisance to our own
prosperity than the suckers are to the
propagation of our trout.

passengers might escape, when the
tragedy occurred.

MuRDERoUs BURGLARS
Shot Man Down in Cold BIood-car
Thief Willing TO Take no Chances

Buffalo, Oct. 4-Howard f. Bellies,
twenty-eight years old, of Reading,
Penn, was murdered by car burglars
in the railroad yards at East Buffalo
early today. Bellies and Roland Web
Der, also of Reading. were on their

cars on siding, when a man jumped
from an open car door and. pointing
a revolver at them. ordered them TO
throw up their HANDS. Tney obeyed.
we had better kill them; they will
get us going away. said the man with
the gun. His companion advised him
not to shoot, saying the men did not
appear to be railroad detectives.
We'll take no chances" said the
man with the revolver and, placing
the muzzle close to Bellies breast,
fired. The bullet lodged IN his heart.

MOTORCYCLE RACE
AGAINST TIME
TO WO0OF0RO
Samuel Hawks Will Attempt
Climb in IL Minutes
TO RIDE NEXT THURSDAY
Course viii Be From Firths Barber
Shop to Church at Woodford
City.

Articles of agreement have been
drawn up and two deposits OF, 800
each have been placed in the hands
of a stakeholder by E. B. Huling and
Samuel B. Hawks for a motorcycle
race against time.
The conditions are that Hawks.
who is at present employed by the
Stevens-Duryea Automobile company
at Chicopee Falls, Mass, and who is
visiting at his home here, snail ride
from a point in Main street opposite
the barber shop of Charles w. Firth
to the church in Woodford city in IL
minutes.
The contest will probably take
place on Thursday of next week.
The privilege of fixing the day on
which the ride is to be made is left
to the rider and if the weather con-
ditions are right on Thursday the at
tempt will undoubtedly be made on
that day
The arrangements have not been
completed but friends of the parties
to the agreement will be selected to
hold the four watches and others will
go over the road ahead of the rider in
order that he may have free course.
The proposed contest has awakened
not little interest in the village
Hawks is confident that he can make
the course selected in the time speci-
fed. He has made one trip from the
village to Woodford City when
there was nothing at stake at a
speed that convinces him that he can
win the stake.

SEEING THE BIG GAMES
New York Fans viii Take Nearly All
Seats at the Polo Grounds.

New York, Oct. Anew York base
ball fans will mcnopolize practically
all the seats at the Polo Grounds dur
ing the worlds series. Applications
from persons living liz other cities
have been ignored. The only way in
which out-of-town fans can secure
seats is TO be on hand for the opening
sale and take their place in line. No
attention will be paid to any mail or
telegraph orders.
Theatre ticket men who hoped to
make big return by obtaining large
blocks of tickets for the big games
now admit that the method of distri-
button is likely to prove hard blow
to spectators. So far, the commits
sion has beaten them at every point.
The fact that tickets for reserved
seats already sold will not be deliver
ed until Monday is a big factor
against the Spectator because IL
gives them so little time to dispose
Of any tickets they may obtain When
the public sale of 1000 reserved
seats begins Monday morning the
commission will have a dozen private
detectives on duty to pick out suppos-
ed agents of spectators who may
take places in the lines. If a person
who has purchased two tickets for
the first game gets into the line again
he will be nabbed
When the sale OF unreserved seats
begins on Tuesday morning, the po-
lice will draw dead line, which will
make ii impossible for spectators to
get near the ticket windows. With
these rules in effect the commission
believes that ticketspeculating will
be reduced to a minimum.
