Washington, April 3-Fresh fuel
was added to the flames that are try
ing the souls of the promoters of the
national welcome breakfast" to be
given for Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and
Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall on Satur-
day when Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of
the Speaker of the House, informed
them that she would not attend. Mrs
Clark pleaded a previous engage

Those who have declined to go to
the breakfast on the ground that
Democratic women are being dis
eliminated against were jubilant to-
day when the news of Mrs. Clark S
detection was made known
The question of precedence at the
breakfast also is giving the promo

by which friction in the Cabinet
circle was to be avoided by having
the wives of the Cabinet officers
ranged at Mrs. Wilson's table in the
same positions their husbands occupy
in the Cabinet room Mrs. Clark,
however, was to have been placed at
Mrs. Wilson's left, Mrs. Bryan oc-

right of the wife of the president

Sheriff Calls Out National Guard and
Quiet Is Temporarily
Restored.

Auburn, N. r., State troops were in
guard last night over the plans af-
fected by the twin-workers strike,
which yesterday developed serious
rioting, when the police fired into
mob, seriously wounding six persons
one of them woman. A conference
called last night by Mayor ONeill be
tween strike leaders and employ
ers in an effort to settle the trouble
had to be deferred because William
C. Rogers, state mediator, could not
reach Auburn before this morning.
When it was learned that there
was prospect of a settlement last
night, Sheriff George Bancroft de-
cided to call upon Co. M, national
guard of New York, to do riot duty,
as the situation continued threaten
ing. The riot at the Columbian rope
company's works, where the police
fired their voley was followed by
mob attacks upon the International
harvester company cordage mills. NO
one was seriously hurt in this DEM
onstration. Last night after troops
had been placed in the neighborhood
of the Columbian mills, rioting was
renewed at the Harvester plant. A
militia detachment was rushed there
and quiet was speedily restored.
Maria Saveria Peluso. the woman
whose arrest caused the rioting yes
terday morning, was arraigned late
yesterday on a charge of disorderly
conduct. She asked for adjourn
ment. which was granted, and was
released in $500 bail for examination
Monday. The police reported that
they found in her possession two
pouches filled with what appeared to
be salt. A chemical analysis is be-
ing made as it is claimed by the po-
lice that some corrosive liquid had
been poured into the salt. which
burned rubber coats and uniforms.
The managers of the Columbian
rope company, where the shots were
fred yesterday morning, decided
that they would not open today.
Representatives of the strikers
claimed that the real cause of their
aggressive tactics was a story that the
company had been bringing in strike
breakers in box cars. Mayor O'Neill
and Chief Bell personally went into
the mills to investigate this charge
and reported that they found 1t I'M
true. About 1900 men are on strike

Try 70 DO This

Take q light chair and place 1t with
its back to the wall. Stand In front Of
II. facing the wall. with the toes about
a foot from the front feet Of the chair;
and, placing one hand on each side Of
the chair, lean forward until the top Of
your head touches the wall. The prob
lem Is to lift the chair from the floor
and, without moving the feet, to take
the head away from the wall and
stand upright. Simple as this appears,
It is impossible. Very few people, as
you will hnd. would anticipate any diff
1culty in doing this. Get them to try.
This trick is, Of course, very like the
old one Of standing against q wall
sidewise, with the shoulder and n
foot touching the wall. It Is then Inn
possible to raise the outside foot with
out losing ones balance and falling

writes e. v. Ellington In Orange Judd

considerable difference Of opinion
Judging by the direct results in milk
production from feeding grain to owe

there seems to be no profit In such q
procedure. While there may be some
increase in milk yields, the increased
yields do not in all instances pay 70,

The pastures in the early spring are
immature, and the grass contains +

When you start to wean the pigs do

This will not only prevent the SOW

trouble with her udder. Take away
the two hardest youngsters first. and
then, after a day or two. remove one
